For example, if I left this as "samsung,express", it would be unclear if I am referring to the GT-I8730 (code name: expresslte) or the SGH-I437 model. This is typically done in postmarketOS: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices and XDA developers. I believe it is a carrier specific model of the Samsung Galaxy Express.

Please fix your email client:

- wrap each line at about 80 characters
- don't trim messages unless they're very long or
  there's some other good reason
- Don't send v(n+1) as a reply to v(n), send it in a
  separate thread.
