Hey all, Looking forward for any info about OS for tablets? Years ago I had bought Huawei android 5. Was in the drawer for year and now want to give a new life for it. Is there a possibility? I have read that some OS could safe the tablet from throwing it away. I need it for offline use and Bluetooth is necessary.

I have not tried, and couldn't find a model called 'Huawei 5', so std apolls if I waste your time.

Have you considered OpenHarmony.cn ? Huawei made HarmonyOS, forked it and supports openharmony community-based OS themselves, so there's a chance that your tablet will work with it.
