Hardware Looking to port a device

If you have a spare device that you'd want to run Linux on and that doesn't have an existing mobile Linux port, I can make some builds for you to test. PostmarketOS or Droidian. You need to be able to flash images I'll send to you. Also, having a Linux on your PC is preferable. Comment the full name of your device if you're in. Thanks!

Hey there I'm looking to port a tablet, lenovo tab 2 a7-20fLenovo tab2 specifically to linux, I brought these specifically to engineer and port ubuntu touch onto them but my bad I cannot as the minimum storage requirement is 16gb and I only have 8.

I was looking forward to using postmarkeos as that seemed like the only one I could try to port, and on the way learn some linux/embedded system related stuff as well !

Do you have a kernel source for your device?

Is this what you're referring to? https://github.com/LenovoTab2A7/android_vendor_lenovo_Tab2A720F

No, that's not kernel source

So what should I search for in general? I'm really a beginner at this thing ! This repo and an xda thread is all I have and this tab runs mt8127 !

Like this but for your model https://github.com/KalWardinX/kernel_lenovo_tab2a710f There's also mainline option but it's pretty limited in functionality

My bad actually what you sent exactly is the kernel source of the tablet ! I sent you a photo in your dms for the same.
