Here's another victim/beneficiary of our Android upcycling. 😂

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (2014, SM-T800) was my initial target for a multimedia/reading tablet. If you've had this or still rock it, you know why—a 2560x1600 Super AMOLED display, the first on a tablet when it was released. Just look at the difference between it and the LCD display of the SM-T580 (T580 on the left, T800 on the right).

This one needed a bit more TLC as the unit I got (2nd hand, P2800) was missing the metal shields and heatsink. It's not really required but I added a new heatsink + thermal pads to try and squeeze every bit of performance from the tablet. I should also undervolt it but that's for another time.

In any case, this is now a 10-year old tablet that's running Android 13, fully deGoogled, and w/o bloatware.
