Check this site to get an overview of already available ports: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
I spotted Galaxy Note and Tab2 at least. For brand-new tabs you will have to practise patience, I fear, or maybe try to start porting yourself. I for one am preparing my environment for a port to Galaxy Tab 10.1 and maybe Note, so bear with me. As you can see I am practising optimism. ;)
lakutalo ( 2016-03-02 22:35:19 +0300 )edit@pawel Tab2 Nexus7 are proper tablets from what I read, but my advice, if it is necessary to have a bigger device, try to get one of those 5.5" china import phones instead, the tablet marked androids get limited by gapps just because of the tablet flag. If it needs to be SFOS compatible, have a look if the kernel-tree is available and CM first.

Don't know how lucky you feel, but the chinese "Jolla" (I heard their prices has gone up), or the Aigo tablet which shared some design with Jolla tablet should be easiest one to port SFOS. Quality wise I would assume the Nokia N1 (if you manage to get one from somewhere) should be good device because Nokia has stated they don't want to license the Nokia brand to crap products.

pawel ( 2016-03-02 22:20:56 +0300 )editinteresting question... soon or later it should at last something official supported or maintained...
cemoi71 ( 2016-03-02 23:07:09 +0300 )edit@pawel i don't know until when you can wait. but if i were and have time to wait still a little bit. i would wait on official announcement of strategy from jolla. after all that happened they need to have an alternative to the first one.... i think. a port is nice, but it still an adventure where you are not sure if it will be supported all the time in the long term....
cemoi71 ( 2016-03-02 23:12:04 +0300 )editcurrently they have their head and resources in the tablet gate, the current release and other stuffs like (maybe) the merging of the intex phone with the whole system
