Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (n7100) running Replicant 6.0

I just wanted to tell that I got my hands on an n7100 and installed Replicant on it. Installation was very smooth - I have installed Replicant on a number of i9100's and i9300's but it worked much faster on the n7100, and installation was successful in the first shot. The phone seems quite a bit faster than the i9100 (which is otherwise considered fast in the Replicant universe). It is my experience that after some time the i9100 and i9300 becomes a little slower than right after installation (perhaps due to changed settings and increased number pf apps? I never install many though). Perhaps the n7100 will do the same?
So far though, n7100 seems to be faster and smoother than i9100 and i9300. The only downside - which is actually also and upside - is the size. It is not very handy but has a large beautiful screen.
Btw, wifi works flawlessly on the n7100 (via a dongle + the repwifi app). I never got it to work on either i9100 (S2), i9300 (S3) or my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
> never got it to work on either i9100
I have repwifi on replicant samsung i9100. It only works half
way. I can browse the internet.But not download files.
Not update fdroid. Repwifi requires about 90% or
more charged battery. Lot of times rewifi stops working.
Repwifi is not usable. Only because I do not know
how to install the phone's wifi card non free software
it has not been installed.
What is your battery life like?
I got my replicant n7100 a few weeks ago and I'm not really sure what it is supposed to be like.
It seems to drain quickly from 100% to 85%, but from 85% to about 40% it seems to hold a charge well. However somewhere between 30% and 20% it turns off.
When you say something critical about a piece of free
software the developers sometimes get angry. Because you
are asking for to much. I think it is great we have
replicant. But you cannot explain away that for many
it is unacceptable that gps and wifi does not work.
The repwifi is not usable. It is impracticable. It is
unstable. And you cannot expect repwifi to work more
than about 10 minutes. Then it has drained the battery
down below 90% and does not work.
It annoys me I cannot find a person who will tell me how to
install the non free pieces of software.
