Hello XDA people,
Since I9500 launched, developers were little afraid to pick it up for development because of Samsung Exynos' isolated documentation. (I hate Samsung for that)
Then, Ethan Chen (@intervigilium) decided to accept the challenge and port CM for I9500.. He did well. He ported almost everything (except camera and some Bluetooth related content). InSignal released partial SoC documentation at the right time and yesterday they released gralloc header. That made development easier.. I hope we will see bug free CM build in upcoming weeks.
Ok, enough CM.
I always have been quite interested in MIUI. The way they built their own framework on the top of barebone android framework was impressive. MIUI is one of the best and buttery smooth ROM ever I have used.
I bought I9500 on the very first day of it's launch in India.. The very next day, I asked one question in MIUI forums, will it ever be launched for this device? Being Exynos powered device, I knew developers would hardly build it for this device.
Then again, unexpected things happened. Official team have decided to port it for this device.. But I know it will take long. Voting is still going on. But before that, I want to use my experience and skills to port MIUI on our beloved device.
I have started working on it. I will not publish anything on github yet. I will have to make sure that the experiment I am working on will work. But I will update you all with the progress here.
Some facts :
1. No, it will not be dependent on CM source as of now. I will port it on top of Samsung stock ROM (result, better stability and fully working features).
2. I will remove the TouchWiz layer. Not only the UI part but almost every library, classes (smali) and libs based on TouchWiz.
3. Add compiled MIUI classes and resources.
I will be tweeting (and later blogging after I set up my domain and workspace) updates and progress on my twitter account..
@rahulzeven
@Moderators : I hope I am allowed to open thread for Port discussions..
Thanks for your initiative.
All the best.
I think this is good for exynos, and using samsung base have less bugs.

yeap. That's Great.
you said asked in MIUI forums. Do you know Chinese?
I heard that the most experienced engineer in Xiaomi will take over the job porting MIUI v5 for S4.
Great Work Rahul!
I would love to have MIUI on S4 Octa

Let's see... I will focus on Samsung Feature less base first.. Then will port Samsung stuff on top of that..
Im honestly surprised there is'nt more Custom Roms available for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211, for instance, Roms like Miui, C.M 10.2, AOKP, PACMAN, or even a Touch Wiz 4.3 Updated jump Off to run flawlessly on the Tab 3 T211. Im like really Baffled over here wondering whats going on, this is a great lil device , however this stock 4.1.2 SUCKs. Please, we need a great developer to cook up something RAW for us to Flash. Thanks for listening....

I really hope for someone will make it soon. I can't do it myself, I don't understand the program language.
So, for you developer, thanks b4. Maybe you can spent your time to make a CM with very2 updated Android sistem (maybe 4.4).

Hey A, You just gave me hope..!!
I honestly hope your Right Buddy, cause from what i see in the forum theres only literally only 2 Custom Roms, Dont get me wrong i TRULY appreciate ALL Devs in this Forum and XDA as a whole, But i definitely dont know how to even start cooking up a Custom Rom, however if ANY devs would need any help with anything simple i always available and willing to assist. Now could it be there isnt many Roms for the T211 cause its fairly new, about how old it is already 6 months old..?? Cause thats a bit of time already. well i hope your right buddy, cant wait to have at least 1 sick rom with UNRESTRICTED TETHERING... I WISH ALL THE BEST TO ALL Devs and everyone as a whole in XDA..

We are here to help one another- Let us work hand in hand in helping to get this device to work as great as possible. Honestly speaking this device may be lagging at times....but this can be resolved by Kernel revamp plus tweaks like :
- Scorpion Bionic Optimisation
- Neon script
My setup to be honest :
Stock ROM..Rooted
Crossbeeder Tweak
So far have not removed any bloatware yet and with the above setup my Antutu (full test) score is on my SM-T211
It'll be worth the wait. My phone is a Motorola Atrix HD. It was released August 2012 and didn't get any real development until the bootloader was unlocked in April of 2013. Since then it has most all of the major ROM's on 4.4.2. Everyone kept saying the same thing about this time last year. Just stick it out.

Totally Understand your dilemma..
Hey B, the deference with the the Galaxy Tab is there no BootLoader holding back the development. i honestly think no big development is acquiring because of the hardware, its not much to brag about, its only a Dual core, i think thats the problem, and with this stock System its really laggy, well for me it is, cause i have the note 2 as well. Anyway i will be here patiently waiting cause in really loving this device, once it get some steroids then ill love it even more. Thanksss.

Ill like to start off by saying and giving a HUGE thanks to ''TrevE-MOD'' for his Wifi Tether Hack, I downloaded his apk and started messing with it and then actually got it to work... Any one interested in getting it to work on there Galaxy Tab 3 this is the apk you need to find (I found it in the search all Forums on the top right corner of this page), ''wifi_tether-v3_3-pre2 apk". Once thats downloaded press the menu botton on the botton left side of the Tab 3, then press settings, go to and Click on ''Change Device-profile", then scrool down and tap on Samsung S3, then Click on ''Chanse SetUp-Method" then press "Netd-Ndc (master), then Check on "Wifi-driver reload", thats all it takes, ENJOY..!! Your going to see other options Checked, leave it as is, as for "Wifi-Encryption" you can click that on and set up a Name and password, i did... Hope this is use full. Again i will like to THANK TevE for this GREAT hack, i had it running on my Note 2 As well. Works GREATTTTT>>>!!!!!!!!

So to make sure that I understand what you are saying... I could, instead of having a Wi-Fi Hot Spot from Sprint, have a Tab 3 from Sprint with a data plan, install this, and then be able to use this tablet as a Hot Spot? I currently use my Note 3 (that has unlimited data) but there are times I'd rather have the Hot Spot (or this tablet) as how I connect my laptop to the internet (Like when 4G isn't available and using the Note on 3G basically disables the ability to do phone and data simultaneously).
I don't use the Hot Spot very much so I could probably do this with a limited data plan on the tablet and get away with it.
Anyway. Too long of a post to simply ask if this allows tethering of a Laptop to the Tab 3 for the laptop to use the Tab 3's data plan.
Thanks!

Well 4.4 Kitkat is coming soon from Samsung. Most people like Touchwiz and you can't get a lot working beyond 4.2.2 in any ROM until Samsung drops a new version and the libs can be updated. Not much to do until 4.4 comes that hasn't already been done. Root, then a few tweaks and the tab really hums. When you branch off into cell providers tab versions it gets even harder because you need new /different kernels, modems and firmware specifically for them. In other words there just isn't that much demand for custom ROMs and it takes a lot of effort.
Its funny you say that D.
There isn't even 4.2.2 Build out for the Galaxy Tab 3 T211.. The Tab 3 T311 came with 4.2.2 out the BOX, so it has nothing to do with waiting, cause 4.2.2 is there, however your right when you say there isn't any Devs willing to put in there quality time to cook anything up for the T211, I dont know why cause this Device is a nice lil jump off, so i just made the decision to sell it and cop the Tab 3 8'' T311. Much better device, barely any lag and it came running 4.2.2 out the box, Plus it comes with 16gigs of internal storage, and it just costed me ONLY an extra $10 after selling the T211 for $350, i came off like a fat rat.. lol... So I have my Note 3 Tweaked out, running Jovy23 Darthstalker V6 Custom Rom, Tethering my Tab 3 T311 FLAWLESSLY... Im Loving It..!! :0

Stop hoping.. WHen Tab3s get the official 4.4 is when you will see a working 4.4 . You can't port things without a proper kernel , libs, blobs, and framework to build on. Libs and blobs are not all open source and its tricky to build a kernel without a vendor base. Samsung should be pushing out some 4.4 in April / May

Cell carrier versions always lag behind because they require the cell carrier to add in their bits , kernel, radio, modem, etc.
Hey T.F
I Agree, i would LOVE a T.W 4.4.2 KitKat myself. Im running CM11 (Big Up to CM) and its running GREAT, FLAWLESSLY on my T311, however I Know TW 4.4.2 KitKat will be ported at some point to our 8" Tab 3, look at the bright side though, at-least we have a few options and are not stuck on 4.1.2 like the T211....
QUOTE=thefoss;51314636]I just got a Tab 3 8.0. Was really hoping for a 4.4.2 Tab Pro port[/QUOTE]
Well after reading all comments ... its mean this device is not so good ? Complaints about lags or no custom rom?
Even on stock rom you can improve performance with tweaks like edit your build.prop and add some tweak or add tweak in init.d folder like fly-on mod...
For me I use stock rom 4.1.2 with some tweaks on build.prop
I can play games like asphalt 8 or gta san andreas or play psp game almost smooth with no lag except some game on psp emulator of course I cant compare with my nvidia shield... but for me this galaxy tab 3 7.0 is good enough
Here my score on antutu

useless tab
i have a galaxy tab 3 t211 but i think tab 3 t211 is a useless tab there have 2 custom rom for tab 3 t211 and all off them useless i think tab 2 is batter than tab 3
This is not a development thread for this Great Tab... this is merely a Q&A for everyone that wants to be involved and share their experience with the Tablet. I personally concider this tab one of the best on the market at its price point and beyond. The reason I've decided to open this thread is the fact that not much info floating around for this device so everything I've done from rooting it, installing custom recovery, installing xposed framework (which took me few attempts to find the right files), partial port of the Theme Store (couldn't find one so used Theme Store apk from my S6Edge+) and tweaking build.prop file to get the best result possible wasn't exhausting but not as fast as to find any of the mentioned for other Samsung devices. So welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T715 on MM world!!!
In no way I'm a developer but consider myself an advanced user and maybe even a Themer (beginner). At first I thought of making my first TouchWiz Custom ROM for this tab based on the latest MM update but to be honest I don't have time for it but I can definitely improve your User Experience by suggesting few things since there is no custom roms for our Tab (for those that prefer TouchWiz and not CyanogenMod). I guarantee that even odexed it can be customized, tweaked and purely made great.
Talk about Screen on time, Stanby time, Xposed, Recovery, Root, Your opinion, Your thoughts, Your ideas.
Welcome!!!

so can you point me to a great TW MM rom for tab s2 T715 ?! following the link I don't see any. 2 roms, one abandoned, the other don't seem stable. I'm running odexed, rooted, busy box, xposed, theme store partially ported, with build.prop edited. did it all without the link you provided, just from the info gathered over the years. no issues whatsoever, great battery, fast, smooth, but thanx for the info. (and thanx for your input in development for this tab).
