my mobile contract recently ended and i upgraded through some other dealer and got a better deal. you'll get no more "sent from blankburry from onrage" from me now.
so i got a mobile phone running android, and with the deal - £5 a month cheaper i might add - i got a samsung galaxy tab 2 7" - "free". both running android - not free. so i looked into putting linux on them. soon found out it looks like you can't make phone calls from a mobile if you replace it's original OS with linux. maybe installing linux on the tab 2 might be possible but... first things first: "root" the device. android doesn't give superuser privileges to the user to modify a number of aspects of the OS. by "rooting" the device, the user gains superuser privileges to fully access the operating system. odin is a piece of software you run in windows on your pc which can be used to root certain samsung galaxy * devices. it was leaked out of samsung. it doesn't work in linux. i use linux. i can't use odin. luckily an open source developer created heimdall, an open source version of odin, to do what odin does. i followed instructions to the letter. it didn't work for me. no freedom for me on my galaxy tab 2 7" running android jellybean. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
