What works

  • Compiling the kernel and booting (!314)
  • Wifi with the proprietary firmware (!309)
  • Display
  • TouchScreen
  • Flashing via android recovery zip
  • Wayland/Weston/Xwayland

Notes

  • The device and kernel packages are basically just a copy of the Galaxy S7 Edge's packages. The only difference is that the two devices use different panels.

Installation

Put device in downloading mode and then execute $ pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel. Then reboot device in TWRP sideload and execute $ pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload
