Building AOKP roms from ground up tutorial?

Hello everyone,
My device is a galaxy tab 7 plus and we currently have a fully functional CM9 build working perfectly. I've been following a few guides on how to port AOKP to this device and non of the guides worked. I also read that cm9 and AOKP are one of the same. So if u get one to work the other should easily. But it doesn't seem to be working. So I figured maybe porting won't work. Maybe I have to build it from ground up. So are there any tutorials on how to do so? Or is there a way I can bring the RomControl menu to the current cm9 build?

you should double check the device can run AOKP, it may not even be supported. And building from the ground up is probably a little excessive

Well the devs in the galaxy tab 7 plus section ported cm9 and its working fine but there are only two devs and they both said they have no interest in making AOKP work on our device. The device shares the same hardware as the galaxy s2. I've compiled a couple of builds and mad a logcat and they all pointed at the audio drivers and some other problem. So far I couldn't get passed the boot screen... so I thought maybe I should stop trying to port but start trying to build. I mean I've seen so many devices that have lower specs then this device running aokp so I don't think specs are an issue here..

[Q] Official CM10.1 SGH-T959V?

I'm on Slimbean (thanks, erikmm!), but I'd like to move to the official CM10.1 if possible. I've looked at the CM downloads page and there are two versions that I think will work, but I don't know for certain.
Samsung Galaxy S B ( http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysbmtd&type=stable)
Samsung Galaxy S (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxysmtd&type=stable) -> Forums have the Si9000 associated with "stmd"
Is either of these for the SGH-T959V? What's the difference between them? Has anyone moved to CM 10.1? What do you think? Any advantage over the custom ROMs discussed here (Slimbean, Bean Stalk, Ultragen, etc) ?
Thanks,
LaTejanaFria

There is no official CM ROM for this device yet. You'll have to "settle down" with one of our unofficial CM ROMs.
sent from me

look at signature for unofficial.

Thanks for the speedy reply. I'll keep Slim Bean.

I hardly believe. Samsung hasnt officially released list of devices supported for kitkat. it is currently rolling out 4.3 for several devices.
use OmniRom until this news gets confirmed.

We shall discuss over this one. better to move this thread to General discussion thread and Rename the thread once more time.
As per Google, Any mobile company must upgrade their device at-least 1 time in its life time.
also, There is 2nd opinion where, Google said, if any device is having 512 MB Ram and 4GB internal memory - Can avail the KK if their company wants.
So, In future, If Samsung wants, then can upgrade it. But as per Link - they have nominate it. It will get KK if only God or Samsung Officials want.

ask MOD to do it on your behalf.

This is like some joke. Theres no way Samsung is bringing kitkat to galaxy R. One may think that we may get official 4.4, because it runs on even 512 mb ram. But if u know your device properly, it was never incapable of running any jelly bean version IF Samsung wanted. And if u know Samsung properly, they won't bother bringing kitkat to long lost device which no one's heard of except their owners.
Also, that cited website is not a popular one. If this was true, the news would have been all over the web. The list has S2 on it, which is big deal.
I think when they nominated devices, they meant the devices capable and not the ones Samsung chose for upgrade. That's all i wanted to say.

Lol... micromax A110 is getting KK.
It is much capable to handle every ROM but again, Samsung. So, we can say OMNI or other one can b ported to oir device.

Its Fake. They must be drunk while writing. There is no official update from samsung after Ics for Galaxy R.

How does kitkat has tegra2 support!
Just out of curiosity, how does kitkat has support for tegra2. If my understanding is correct, google has stopped supporting tegra2 4.2 onwards (or is it only CM). If kitkat indeed has support for tegra2, then oneday omnirom can see a stable release version right (we only have nightlies now)?
Also the support matters only for core apps that directly run os kernel. The ones that run on dalvic vm doesn't have have to worry about this right?

Yes. It is only CM that doesn't support tegra2.
Google uses neon instructions and since tegra2 lacks neon we don't and will never have support for features depending on neon. However, there is always a workaround so we just have to adjust with the workaround provided to us. Albeit nightly, Omni is stable enough to be used as daily driver. There are few bugs but those will be fixed over time. Omni will eventually get stable someday.

CM 11-M8 for our device?

ran into this post today, features a galaxy s relay getting an update, which has the same specs as our beloved blaze, any idea what's what? maybe it can be ported by our wonderful devs?
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/cyanogenmod-11-m8-now-available-for-supported-devices/
here's the link ...

It can build for blaze, yes.

ok i'll start by tagging the developers here to see their magic happen, as i have noticed most of the issues are solved which were unsolved with Cm11 releases
@InkSlinger420 @xWolf13 @Somcom3X

Phones too buggy.
That's why there are no snapshots/ RC.

Maintainer determines if a build (our CM11) is stable enough to become a Snapshot/M update.

understood, from what i've heard, from a friend of my brother's, who's running Cm11 M8 on his galaxy s relay, seems to run stable, no major issues reported. sadly couldn't talk to him more since he's in an area that's got crappy network reception. I think if we tag the developers on this post we can get them to work their magic on our device, i think the issues that reside with the current CM11 might be resolved and run just as well as 4.1.2 builds

[Q] JB vs KK in terms of Smoothness?

When I was running JB on my N8010 I noticed that when I wanted to scroll through the images in an Album using the Gallery app I could scroll through nearly 470 images with just one swipe unlike KK which takes about 3 or 4 swipes to get to the end of the 470 images. So frustrating was this lack of smoothness when scrolling through images or even long documents I've reverted back to JB.
I couldn't understand why JB was so much smoother in terms of scrolling through images in the Gallery app compared to KK. Maybe the experts on these forums could shed some light or is it just a quirk of my particular N8010.
Thanks

At some point upgrades will slow your system. Like upgrading a windows 95 class machine to windows 7.

Thanks. Would it be fair to say then that even though the N8010 will run on KK the N8010 wasn't really designed for KK and consequently runs smoother on either ICS or JB?

No it wouldnt... It is, however, fair to say that the samsung aka TouchWiz overlay installed on top of the KK update is by far ready. If you install KK Aosp (Pure Android) you would see how seemless and fluid KK really is supposed to run. That in turn would make you want to take a flame thrower to the devs at samsung and demand progress.. lol :highfive:

Thank you. I tried this way Here but to no avail as every time I tried to flash the Omni Rom I got a fail. Also for some strange reason TWRP insisted that there were 6 zip files in the folder where I had originally stored the 3 zip files that were required!!
Also the method you suggest above applies to the N8000 not the N8010, does that matter?

I've now loaded the correct version of TWRP but TWRP doesn't see any of the zip files I've placed on the external SD Card!! :crying:
I don't think I'm meant to do this!!
Also does the ROM for the N8000 given in your link above work on the N8010?
Thanks very much again for your help.

I managed to install the OMNI Rom with the latest nightly and am going through it now. I take it that this particular Rom doesn't support the S-Pen?
Thanks

That's not always true in all cases. What causes your system to slow down is:
1. Installing an OS not optimize for your computer. You can't expect a pc designed for Windows 95 to run Windows 7. In the case of the note 10.1, kitkat has lower system requirements than ice cream sandwich, so in theory it should run fine on the note 10.1.
2. Conflicting files may be slowing down your system. Sometimes upgrading will leave behind unnecessary files that slow down your system. You need a decent amount of space for most operating system to run smoothly.
That being said, I believe touchwiz is at fault here. The interface and apps are very bloated. Samsung tried to put in everything they could think of, but at the cost of efficiency. I have recently switched over to cyanogenmod 11 (kitkat 4.4.4) and I have notice that my note has performed far better then before. Where the tablet used to stutter now is running buttery smooth. The official kitkat build of Samsung compared to the ice cream sandwich build showed very little performance changed when I was using it.

Its not like tableta cant get updated due to lack of resourcea, ita more like deva dont have official versions of the roms. I updated my n8013 to 4.4.4 using omni and was ubersmooth, gnabk rom was also fast and reaponsive but the video streaming lagged like hell

604
Other than the official ROMS like ICS, JB and KK are there any other ROMS for the N8010 out there that also incorporate the functionality of the S-Pen. I use the S-Pen a lot so loosing it would be a serious loss. The only one I've heard of is the Gnabo ROM.
Thanks.

There is no need for rudeness here. You said upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 7 will make your computer slow, but it really depends on your hardware. What you stated is true for most old computers, but it doesn't apply to what the OP of this thread is discussing.
