This is an Odin package for installing Devuan GNU/Linux on the G530BT. Note this is only for G530BT. Other versions of the Galaxy Grand Prime may have a different partition layout. Therefore, the installation on devices other than G530BT is discouraged. However, you're welcome to adapt the scripts for different versions of the Galaxy Grand Prime.
Note this will erase ALL your data. Back up your data before proceeding.
Download the TAR file, run Odin, select the file from AP/PDA, and start flashing.
Note there's no progress status for the installation. If everything did right, you should be able to use ADB. Note ADBD takes about 2 minutes to load and run. Be patient.
If something did wrong, you can always boot into recovery mode and use ADB from there.
The sources for the Linux kernel can be found here.
Noteworthy files are /etc/inittab, /etc/boot, /etc/fstab, /sbin/adbd. These files are present in the devuan.tgz file, present in the cache.img.ext4 file. Out of these files, the most interesting is /etc/boot. You can tune and set up the boot sequence in this file.
Tools used to create this package include simg2img, Android Image Kitchen, Busybox, adbd, gcc-linaro-4.9.
