HTC Incredible S (htc-vivo)
Appearance
WARNING: This device
is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) pmaports#599 has been considering dropping it. |
This device is still running on armhf, although it supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way. |
This device runs a Downstream kernel. Some UIs will not work, and most features (3D acceleration, audio, etc.) may be broken. |
