Hello fellow Geminauts,
This is not directly related to Gemini protocol, I've seen this topic
pop-up here and there.
I have an old tablet which I'm looking to repurpose. It now runs (a
really old) Android and it can barely boot-up. Almost all useful
application are no longer supported, others are slow...
I want to repurpose it somehow (root it, install new OS, whatever) so
that I would be able to browse Gemini, Gopher, unbloated Web and read
documents.
Here are the specs if anyone is interested:
Lenovo TAB 2 A7-10F
Android 4.4.2
CPU 4 Core 1.3GHz
RAM 1GB
Storage 8GB
Anyone has any interesting ideas, suggestions or knows a similar project?
Thanks a bunch!
Cheers,
~tpt
Look if you can flash it with a Custom ROM and install F-Droid app store
afterwards, IIRC there are some apps in that store which support Gemini.
I also recommend NoScript and uBlock Origin in Firefox, ads, tracking
scripts and similar junk suck computing power.
