Resurrecting a Samsung Galaxy Tab E SM‑T560

During vacations, I spent a day bringing an old Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM‑T560 / gtel3g) back to life. It started as a quick tweak and turned into a proper little surgery: replace the stock recovery, flash a custom LineageOS ROM to test, chase down a couple of quirks, and finally install an alternative Android, ViperOS, build focused on stability. This is what I did and the gotchas I hit.

Recover records after accidental cascade delete

Cascade delete in an sql table relation may sometime lead to serious data losses. Should this occur, you can make use of the log file (LDF) to review the DELETE statements that took place and hopefully manage to recover your lost data.
