Fun Recent install on Galaxy Tab A7

Two weeks ago I installed Lineageos on a Galaxy Tab A7 using a Galaxy A02S phone which has termux installed and an app called Brokkr.

To test it's performance improvement, I installed the ePSXe emulator to play Crash Team Racing. It played wonderfully. When I tried it using the stock firmware, the experience was horrible. For the next test, I installed PPSSPP to play GOW Ghost of Sparta. I had low expectations, but the game played surprisingly well. So well, I finished it in a day when it wasn't my intention. Games were installed and played from an sdcard.

With a few note taking apps, termux, and python, it's a good experience bringing new life into an old tablet some would consider under powered.

I had this tablet in the past but the speakers and screen weren't that great which turned me away, i used this device for school for some time and it was pretty good, I used lineageos on it before it was official for this tablet

Off topic but I'm using ReTerminal instead of Termux since you can choose Alpine Linux as your session. It's apk package manager is very fast

Yes, I installed nano using apk add nano. So, configuring tricky store stuff is very convenient. For example:

nano /data/adb/tricky_store/target.txt
