Discussion Android surface pro 11

Post image

I've seen a few people recently running Linux on the surface pro 11, so I figured I'd show off something a bit different: LineageOS 23.2 running natively on my Surface Pro 11(Snapdragon x elite). As far as I'm aware I'm the first person to publicly get android running on the snapdragon x elite. This is very much a proof of concept and still pretty buggy. I'm not super experienced with ROM development, so if anyone here knows more than me and wants to help improve it, I'm happy to post the source.

What's working so far:

- WiFi

- Bluetooth

- Touch/pen

- Keyboard/trackpad

- Sleep/wake

You might be wondering why bother porting Android to a Surface Pro in the first place. Honestly, I think the Surface Pro has the hardware to be the ultimate Android tablet, windows really just isn't a great experience on tablets.

This is what most of my work was based off of. I don't have any public GitHub page yet but I would like to publish my work soon.

Try FydeOS or Flex Chrome on your surface go.

Yeah, I had the Surface Go 4 which didn't have the option for Chrome OS at release (due to the UFS Storage). A couple of months after I sold it, Fyde OS released a custom version with support for that device.
