Component | Status | notes |
---|---|---|
Screen | P | Screen may go crazy sometimes (tested with Plasma Mobile) |
Battery | P | Percentage reporting works; no charging status reported, but charges without problems |

Installation

After that, set up the device to be used:
$ pmbootstrap init
Channel [edge]:
Vendor [samsung]: samsung <- enter this
Device codename [i9100]: a52q <- enter this
Enable this package? (y/n) [y] <- you probably want non-free firmware
User interface [plasma-mobile]: <- choose any UI by your preference. Plasma Mobile works without issues :)
...
Then, create the rootfs image
$ pmbootstrap install
