Galxy Tab 2 10.1: How to enable graphics accelaration _only_?

Added by John R 14 days ago

Hi,

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 espressowifi is extremely slow graphics-wise. None of the Firefox-based browsers can run without issues. And when I say issues I mean significant amount of crashes included. The situation is the same with Note II N7100 (a little better but still crashing) and i9300 (least worse). Mull simply crashes and recreates profile and all customizations are gone with each crash.

I have been thinking about trying to build Lineage OS for that particular device (Tab 2 10.1) in order to have hardware acceleration. However, I would still like to have the rest of the Replicant niceness (root + the rest of the FOSS goodness).

What would be the way to enable only graphics acceleration? (I am aware this probably needs a proprietary piece of software but otherwise the device is practically unusable). Also, what are the possible security implications?

Wish everyone a happy new year!
