Install Divest OS on GT-N5100 with latest build 6th of May #209
Comments
looks like the modem is looping restart can you give logs from:
|
Thanks for the quick response. Please find attached the both logs you asked for. 2 Things in addition
|
so selinux is the issue here, I'll switch n51xx to -userdebug like I did i9xx series |
For #209 Signed-off-by: Tad <tad@spotco.us>
new builds for n51xx series are up, please test |
Hi, thanks for the fast turn around. I did the test and the situation is unchanged. |
To be on the save side I installed latest TWRP and sideloaded DOVEST OS ROM. No change. I also installed XDA ROM from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lineageos-19-1-android-12l-for-gt-n5100-gt-n5110-gt-n5120-beta.4366627/ and removed DIVEST OS and everything is back to normal |
only "works" because they disable selinux which throws security out the window and makes the app sandbox useless
|
You are absolutely right and security is the reason for me to look since a while, even years, now for an alternative to be able to use the device with up to date apps from f-droid. I like the form-factor of 8" and having a pen to scribble. There are not many alternatives out there. |
are you able to test again? another user recently reported their n5100 working well |
Hi, thanks for actively pushing. As of the version September 20th many things are improved:
There are some smaller issues still:
Confirmed working is:
and most of the other stuff as far as I could test. Solving the Wifi issue to not rely on the HotSpot of another phone would be great and would make the device as fresh as it can get after nearly 10 years now. Thanks again 😄 |
This may be a space issue, that device only has 8GB I think? so like 5GB available to use? Etar not working is strange though
I've found this is unreliable even on other devices like laptops. |
One update regarding Etar: After installing the latest version from F-Droid Etar works as expected. Looking into ETAR Github there were some issues with the latest version. Tablet has 16GB of which are 6 GB used. Should not be a space issue. I installed TWRP resulting in the same problem. OTA is working with the same TWRP and other ROMs. WPA2 + WPA3 is unfortunate but seems to be a problem with other lineage os versions too and your described solution to separate both is also named. => Probably something I have to work around With this the remaining issue is the OTA update. Any log I can help with? |
First of all, I appreciate your efforts to give life to old devices like mine with a ROM targeted on security. There is no technical reason to throw my GT-N5100 into the garbage. It is still responsive and the 2nd battery is going strong. Latest firmware updates from Samsung are from end of 2014 and nothing will be done on that end any more, but this is true for all 3rd party ROMs. I am hoping with your ROM to find a solution to use the device a few more years to com - Thank you.
Here what I have done to install Divest OS on the device:
Preparation
Flashing GT-N5100 with Heimdall
More can be found about using heimdall with Ubuntu hereOn your phone¶
On your computer
adb devices
-flash recovery with
heimdall flash --RECOVERY divested ... -dos-n5100-recovery.img --no-reboot

On your phone
Sideload divest os with adb sideload divested-14.1-date-dos-n5100.zip
Working
I created a log for the radio, because that seems to be the most pressing issue. Without network, no update.
Find the log attached
