To be accurate, I have the HTC ADR6425LVW. One of many nice things about LineageOS is they list actual model numbers. Which doesn't include that model. <BR>
<BR>
Yes I can search with model number, and XDA, and we're back down the rabbit hole, looking at pages that haven't been updated in 6 years, which reference ROMS and component file links that aren't there anymore, and include long trails of discussion about how the directions are wrong. <BR>
<BR>
So one can imagine my lack of enthusiasm. <BR>
<BR>
The kinda funny thing is now my wife has a new Moto Android 7 phone on Ting, but she doesn't use data, and doesn't have any apps except Any.do on it. And thus far she won't let me put anything on it. <IMG SRC="cid:1522337630.23706.652.camel@t4.mnopltd.com" ALIGN="middle" ALT=";-)" BORDER="0"><BR>
<BR>
My phone is the travel workhorse which has all our email imap connections, the mobile hotspot, the burglar alarm control the house thermostat control, and I'm stuck on Android 4.0.3. <BR>
<BR>
Yeah, I could get a new phone, but I really don't like big honkin' phones. <BR>
<BR>
regards, <BR>

Ok, there is some linux and android in here. <BR>
<BR>
We have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, P5113. Yes, release 2012.<BR>
Which Samsung has declined to update since Android 4.3, and which has<BR>
been running slower and slower. <BR>
<BR>
Even after a wipe and factory reset. It spends about 50% of its CPU<BR>
running around in circles, often in kswapd0, even when nothing is<BR>
running, all apps have been removed, or a fresh reboot. <BR>
<BR>
In the past, digging around on replacing Android seemed to lead through<BR>
this swamp of competing custom ROMs, endless threads of discussions,<BR>
conflicting instructions, eg - nothing that made one want to enter that<BR>
dark forest. <BR>
<BR>
This last weekend, after another wipe and reset, I figured we had<BR>
nothing to lose. Poking around I find LineageOS; apparently organized<BR>
by adults, ROMS organized by device, and complete instructions. <BR>
<BR>
So, several hours later, I now have Android 6. It's been running great<BR>
for 72 hours now. Idling CPU usage is 4-8%. Everything is much,<BR>
much faster. GPS Apps like <A HREF="http://Maps.ME">Maps.ME</A>, Tom-Tom GO, or Waze that were<BR>
hopeless before now are plausible. Wall Street Journal still dies on a<BR>
regular basis, but runs waaaaaay faster. <BR>
<BR>
It's like we got a brand new notebook for almost free. <BR>
<BR>
Granted, there were a few glitches in the instructions: Volume Up/Down<BR>
might be backwards, The Heimdall Suite wouldn't install on Centos 6,<BR>
and wouldn't run on Windows 10, but did work on Windows 7, and the<BR>
"standard" GApps package won't fit; got to use the Nano package. But<BR>
all surmountable. <BR>
<BR>
But overall, a great result. Now, if they only had ROMS for my 10<BR>
year old HTC phone...<BR>
