Just need a little guidance please, I've done a couple of custom firmwares in the past for the original PSP when it was first hacked and have missed the tinkering.
I'd like to have a go with the ZT-180 tablet V2 that runs Android 2.2..
I have the latest build ready to take apart etc but I was wondering, is there a guide (or can someone help) on testing this on an emulator first and making sure that I don't brick my wifes tablet when testing!!!?
I did a search but couldn't find specifics on if it be OK with tablets and using emulators?!?!
Thank you

Hello everybody,
I'm new to android developing, I've been flashing roms since I got my nexus s 2 years ago,
did lots of rom updates for my friends ad stuff.
I really wanted to learn how to develop android roms, so I decided to follow the steps and compile my first
cm10.1 for my nexus s with the help of the cm wiki.
After some day learning the most I could out of linux bash and the process to compile a rom, I finally got a working rom.
Well, I have a xoom 2 too, so I thought, what if I could try to build a rom for it, I know it would be hard, but it would be good so I could learn more about developing.
I'd like to know if with the safestrap 3.1, the lastest we have now, if it's possible to compiled a rom for xoom2 (mine is mz607), if the safestrap would be able to rom another rom than the official one, because the little I used it, it was looking fully functional, but I didn't find answer of what is possible or not to do with it in the thread.
If you say so, I'm gonna do my best to develop one, specially now that I have free time for the next weeks,
if anyone can help me out, with any kind of help I would be glad.
Thanks a lot
Hi developers, I have this Sony phone and there is no custom ROM for this device yet and I would like to create one for my own use and possibly made it available for others if I am successful. I am so tired of the bloated software which I can't get rid of that I don't care about bricking this phone anymore.
Some years ago I used to fix computers, printers and networks for banks. I'm new in Android systems but not in computer systems. I did Install OS's like linux flavors or updated printer firmwares in my days so this is not new for me, I just want a little of a guidance to start.
I know how to root my Android system using the app called TOWEL ROOT (the only that has worked in this phone).
The next step that haven't done yet is unlocking the BOOTLOADER, which I don't find difficult to do according to what I have read so far.
My concern is: there is no custom ROM to install after the BOOTLOADER is unlocked, so if I want one I would have to build one. I've watched a tutorial on youtube and I've read the cyanogenmod wiki, but the amount of information is so huge that I got lost and frustrated and that's the help I ask. Could any of you tell me the information I need to read to understand how I could port a custom ROM to my device?
If more information is necessary I'll be glad to provide.
Nobody has made a custom rom for e1.make if you like.

I'm no expert here, but maybe you could try this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
Your phone is fairly new and I'm pretty sure kernel sources are on Sony's website, so maybe one of you guys could give it a shot. I would, but I don't have an E1.
I'm pretty new at all this buy the basics of installing already made roms I get my question is when attempting to create new custom roms what information about the device say (cpu, gpu, modem, kernal, etc) need to match up to attempt using or moding those said parts of the dev process in order to build a working tree. Continued below Sidenote........
Sidenote : idk if the terms I used were correct in there placement or meaning but I feel that any who will reply to this thread probably grasp what I'm getting at.
So essentially what I'm attempting to do is figure out what things to change and how to change them in order to figure out what goes into building a rom or the favorable option that I'm shooting for is what to look for to attempt to match up a already built custom rom from another device I need little to no changes in order to use on my device's, reason being, both devices I am currently woking on, which are a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360t and a HTC Desire 626s, do not have a official or even, to my knowledge, have an official CM and honestly besides one,the HTC which I have TWRP and it's running now off the AdvancedStock rom I found on this site and it keeps wanting to break or just doesn't work the way I want .
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

Hi,
Total Newbie here so sorry if this question seems silly or otherwise!!
I have dug my old, redundant Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7" out from the drawer with the intention of using it in the car to operate my GoPro Hero 3. Only snag is the tablet is running 4.1 and The official GoPro app needs 4.4 or above to work.
So im looking for an idiots guide to booting and upgrading if possible., or for someone to show me how to complete the process step ny step. I have tried to look on the interweb for a guide, but there are several, mainly conflicting, guides that I have looked at. None of these seem to make sense to a complete newbie.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
OK
Don't use cwm, it is fully outdated and support for it stopped long time ago.
Go and find twrp for your device.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this platform and to be honest a bit overwhelmed. Apologize if this thread is in the wrong section.
I should also mention that I'm not too familiar with technical points.
I own an old Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5110) which claims its Android version 4.2.2 is still the most recent one for this device.
So I'm looking for a way to update to a newer versuon, at least Android 6.
My first question is which Android version you suggest?
Second one, how exactly do I do this (is there a step by step tutorial)?
Third one what are the risks? I read something about data loss and completely broken devices?
Thank you in advance.

Mate, I'm on the same boat. Same tablet, also overwhelmed The only response to your post points to some custom ROM page but the instructions are not detailed. I thought I had to throw my tablet but it seems like it still has some life to breath if I can get it a newer ROM (many apps are not supported anymore with Android 4.2).
I think the first thing to do is root the device but where to start? I'd prefer using linux with adb, etc.
There is a lot of stuff here. Is there anyone that has taken the time to write a detailed step by step guide somewhere?
BTW, my intention is not only to revive the device but to ditch all Google crap apps. In an ideal world, I would have installed a ROM from /e/ Foundation, but they do not support the device so I guess my next best bet is some custom ROM that uses LineageOS?
Hi,
First you need to root your device and install TWRP recovery:
More info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...final-root-single-step-twrp-recovery-t3404779
It's an old thread but you'll get the idea.
See this one as well:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/twrp-recovery-samsung-galaxy-tab-2/
You'll need to find the correct version for your model otherwise you'll and up with a nice paperweight.
After this, you'll be able to back up your current ROM and install new ones. Unfortunately, I have a different model of Tab 2 that has no available custom ROM's so I can't say which ROM is better than other. I would read more in the link provided for slim roms.
To get rid of the installed bloatware and even Google apps I used SD Maid. See my thread below with what's left on my tablet (Disclaimer: it's a barebone setup and not all things work so I don't advise going that deep unless you're willing to take the risk of having a bricked tablet. You were warned!):
