Description Of Issue
When trying to install to the latest Roon Remote on the Samsung 7" Galaxy Tablet A model SM-T280 it says that this software version is no longer compatibly with this device. I tried to install the adk file and it will not run.

PS: Further down on the linked page about the GPU, there is also a list of devices that use this GPU and therefore it’s safe to say that all these devices aren’t compatible with Roon 1.7 also.
Roon can run on many Android devices that meet the following requirements:
ARM or x86 based
Android 5.0 or higher
Supports OpenGL ES 3.0
Roon 1.7 taps some previously unused OpenGL 3.0 features to enhance Roon’s text and color rendering, and to increase the performance of Roon’s UI engine across all of our supported platforms.
OpenGL 3.0 was originally released in 2008, and has always been a minimum requirement to run Roon . While Mac users should be unaffected, we recently became aware that on Windows it was possible to run Roon with unsupported versions of OpenGL, which was causing instability when combined with the changes in …

Hi @Jason_Pozen ,
As noted in Mike’s post that BlackJack linked to above, Roon 1.7 now requires OpenGL ES 3.0 support for Android devices. If this device does not support OpenGL ES 3.0 it cannot be used as a remote.
