Thank you for your interest in the project.

There is currently no custom ROM or TWRP recovery available for this device or in the making as far as I can tell.

If you don't agree, please respond to this and we might reopen the issue :)

@tsterbak @RicioDutch

This is innacurate, our TWRP release is built and available

We are making progress in porting and building complete LOS support - as part of the Samsung MT6833 SoC family

I haven't personally read through your documentation or source. In terms of device requirement and testing, I am willing to contribute what you need to include the device to official testing and support.

Cheers

@ramenrolls Thanks a lot! That looks good!

Then I keep the issue open here and try to add support once there is LOS support for the device :)

[tsterbak]

If you want to give it a try, you can find a tutorial to add support here: https://github.com/openandroidinstaller-dev/openandroidinstaller/blob/main/docs/how_to_contribute_your_own_installation_configurations.md

Starting from an exisiting configuration for a samsung device should be quite straight forward. Let me know if I can support you :)

[ramenrolls]

Alright, I will write up an initial config file, with the untested flag so far.

For starters, just to make clear

twrp-link: [OPTIONAL] str; name of the corresponding twrp page.

We post the TWRP release on our organization releases, as I mentioned before. It is an 'unofficial' release. To declare it in the config, I will not include the link but the name of the page?

like twrp-link: samsung-mt6833-devs?

[tsterbak]

Thanks a lot for contributing! :)

twrp-link should resolve to a download of an official twrp image like this https://dl.twrp.me/{twrp-link}. It's not an issue if this is not set. If you explicitly want to point to an unofficial release, you could do that via the notes field. In general, I prefer only to explicitly link to official sources and otherwise leave people to find their own unofficial releases. But that could be debated, and I would be open to change that in the future :)
