SamyGO

I was able to install samygo using USB method for e series.
It is not yet perfect as the autostart is not working but like sectroyer said, it might work 100% at some point.

I actually clicked on more info and got "unsignatured elf binary detected"

Also I could finally find in settings the memory avail, this unit only has 266mb or so and once you download samygo extension, it a then full, so that is why I could not download a second time.
