Installation
The mainline kernel can only be booted through U-Boot, not directly with the Samsung bootloader. U-Boot is installed as intermediate bootloader on the boot partition, so it does not replace the Samsung bootloader entirely. pmbootstrap can only support one bootloader configuration at the moment, which is why U-Boot is also recommended when installing the downstream kernel.
Boot into Download Mode using Power
+ Volume Down
+ Home
and follow the instructions at ST-Ericsson_NovaThor_U8500#U-Boot to install U-Boot.
Finally, just follow the Installation guide.
Experience
Downstream: The best user interface to install is XFCE4. Other ones do lag, or just don't respond. Especially KDE Plasma.
Mainline: Plasma Mobile and Phosh should work okay.
