Issues

Charging

Charging works, but is slow. You'll probably need to turn the display off for the charge to increase.

On GNOME, the charging state icon doesn't change until you restart the device.

WiFi

If your device is N8020, you'll likely need to run this command to be able to connect to WiFi networks. Otherwise, WiFi is functional.

$ sudo ln -sf /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,i9305.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,n8010.txt

Non-functional hardware

The S-Pen is currently not working.

Volume down is the side of the volume rocker that is closest to the power button.

Installation

Image must be pushed to an SD Card (or /userdata) with ADB push or the dd command in TWRP.
