The project aims to bring postmarketOS, an Alpine Linux based distro, to the Samsung T110 Goyawifi, specifically the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 model. postmarketOS is a mobile Linux operating system designed for longevity and open development, focusing on bringing mainline Linux to various devices.
This model of tablet is stuck with Android 4.2.2, and due to the fact there's some necesary binaries and property code to build a newer version of Android, running the postmarketOS is a viable alternative to extend the usage life of this device.
To stay updated on the progress of this project, you can visit the XDA Developers forum thread dedicated to the Samsung T110 Goyawifi. The thread serves as a hub for discussions, development updates, and community support related to running postmarketOS Linux on the device. The link to the thread is provided below:
Additionally, the PostMarketOS Wiki offers valuable information and documentation about the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite 7.0 (samsung-goyawifi) device. The wiki provides details on installation instructions, hardware compatibility, known issues, and other relevant information related to running postmarketOS on the tablet. You can access the wiki through the link provided below:
By following the updates on the XDA thread and referring to the PostMarketOS Wiki, you can keep track of the progress, contribute to the development efforts, and explore the possibilities of running a Linux-based operating system on your Samsung T110 Goyawifi tablet.
The device is added into the pmaports of the postmarketOS, that means you can create an flashable OS using the pmbootstrap.
Pmaports is the repository containing the build recipes for various packages that are used to create postmarketOS. It serves as a collection of package templates, patches, and build instructions required to compile software specifically for postmarketOS. Pmbootstrap, short for "postmarketOS bootstrap," is the official development tool and build system of postmarketOS. It automates the process of building and testing postmarketOS installations for different devices.
You are open to contribute to this project. This organization contain a fork of the compatible mesa, libetnaviv, and other packages or binaries that can bring this tablet to the full potential.
