Hello all,
I'm new here, first post! I have an old Samsung Galaxy Stellar I no longer use so I did a little bit of research into what could be done with it. I've compiled all known info about the Stellar here: rootzwiki.com[slash]topic[slash]112266-history-of-progress
This includes several different firmware / bootloader versions, Ice Cream Sandwich stock ROMS, Jelly Bean updates, how to root, and Loki'd kernels. Hope you enjoy!
Frank
P.S. I put [slash] in URL so forum wouldn't strip it out, replace with an actual forward slash

Ok, I know this isnt strictly a development post but its worthy news indeed, and I appologise if this is already mentioned elsewhere - I could only find threads about ICS or Cyanogenmod10 for this tablet.
I have an LY-F1 that I bought from Amazon and in case anyone isnt aware, the makers have a fairly good development team and have released several very good pre-rooted roms already.
The main download page is not english but can be found here: http://www.lyxfsz.com/cn/downs.htm?sortid=0_14 There is an english version, but it has out of date downloads.
I braved the language barrier and emailed their developer to ask if 4.1 Jellybean is being released for the LY-F1. I got the response: (after a google translation)
"Hello!We are currently adapter 4.11 well, I will as soon as possible on the official website go. Enjoy the wait. Thank you"
So, although there isnt a date mentioned, they are working on and will be releasing JB 4.11 for the LY-F1. Given it uses Livesuit, it will re-partition automatically - which I know is an issue for some users.
Looks like there's an update to our rom. New version of 4.0.4 is 1.0.5, a fix that brings more stability, fluency and fixes wifi thetering.
We should definitelly check it out.
I know my OP said JB was imminent back in Oct, but looks like they have finally got round to releasing it.

I have not tried or tested this release as I drowned my LY-F1 last week with spilt tea and it is dead. My new tablet is a tegra3 unit.
Very good firmware, indeed
Thanks to your post I managed to revive a Hamlet "Exagerate XZP700" tablet, which I discovered to be an exact clone of the LY-F1.
I am now on a 4.0.4 ICS rom, and I am more than proud of it.
Unfortunately, the ROM you mention is for the A10 chipset, while mine is an A13. Livesuit won't let me flash that update, and I am grateful of that, knowing how painful is getting off a bricked device.
Do you, by any chance, know if a 4.1 JB rom is being released for the A13?
I own a samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" as well, and the improvement in performance I got passing from ICS to JB was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Hi I am new to this forum so hope I have finally got this in the right place. I have a rooted samsung s2 mobile which I have flashe dthe ICS 4.0.4 I am interested in learning more about Kernels, which ones can I use, how do I know which each one does and how do I understand the language of the Kernel. If anyone can help / advise dummies guide required......
thanks in advance

You should be able to find several kernels suitable for your SGS2 right here (XDA). Search for 'kernel collection sgs2' on google. The 3rd link from the top should be useful and have current ICS kernels (which are compatible with your device).
To name just a few:
N.e.a.k.
Siyah
CF-Root
Phenomenal
Make sure that, whatever kernel you decide to try, it's compatible with your ROM (in your case ICS 4.0.4).

Hi Guys,

Thx

HI, I was wondering if anyone wanted to add a new device to their Source or AOSP Developing. See, me and alot others have a device known as the Samsung Dart. It is a sister varient of the Samsung Galaxy Mini. The reason I'm asking for someone to compile roms for it is that it still runs android 2.3! The Samsung Galaxy Mini is running Android 4.2. It doesn't matter if you don't own the device! I'm a very good rom porter, so I'm just asking for a DEV Rom. Something to get progress started. I was wondering if anyone could help. I have the links to the source for the Dart. Im just asking for a ics or jellybean port.
If your interested here you go:
Link to source:
https://github.com/stqism/cleandart-aosp
If you are interested in porting cwm recovery, here is CWM 5.0.2.6 for the dart(scroll down):
http://madteam.co/forum/development-...sgh-t499)/165/
This a list of all the official stock ROMs from Samsung available for the Samsung Dart (SGH-T499):
http://madteam.co/forum/development-...rt-(sgh-t499)/
And sense the Samsung Dart doesn't have it's own XDA, Here is the forum to post your roms:

After combing through countless forums and threads on here, it's become apparent that updating to a custom ROM while generally being a good thing still comes with potential problems. On the other hand, I don't really wanna keep my Note on the super old JB ROM that Sammy decided to leave us stuck with.
From all my reading, what I've gathered is that since the N8010 is almost exactly the same as the N8013, you can ALMOST update the N8013 to the N8010 4.4.2 directly but that there are a few fixes that might be need to be flashed to get it perfected, but once those are done everything should work pretty much flawlessly. I'll still be on touchwiz and pretty much just have a Note 10.1 running the KitKat version of software.
I did read (a LOT) in the 3-4 most popular custom ROM forums and it seems that the custom ROMs per usual all have their little kinks... So yes, you get a lot of bonuses like optimized RAM and processing or removal of Touchwiz etc BUT you might have to deal with bugs and odd issues here and there.
For my purposes I'm fine with Stock Samsung Software - just would like the improvements and optimizations of KitKat. That being the case......
QUESTION 1 - Is all of the above correct?
QUESTION 2 - Anyone specifically on a N8013 have awesome bug-free experiences with flashing stock 4.4.2 from N8010
QUESTION 3 - For going from N8013 JB Stock ROM to N8010 KK Stock ROM - What was your process? (I seem to find only threads detailing custom ROMs here - can't find one w/specific instructions on how to update directly to stock 4.4.2 ROM and what to flash/tweak after to make it work the way it should.
QUESTION 4 - Any other tips/thoughts/etc you wanna share.
Thanks guys and gals!

I have a Samsung Galaxy Discover, it's my old childhood phone and for the memories, I want to make it as usable as I can now, however I basically can't do anything internet related with it as it runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich (which I will be shortening to ICS for the rest of this post), ICS has certificate issues which you can't do anything about, to use anything internet related you need Jellybean (also has certificate issues but not as bad as ICS and they can be updated unlike ICS) or KitKat (has all modern certificates), however the Discover only has ICS ROMs, there was a Jellybean ROM at one point however the link is dead and I can't find an archive of it. I know it's possible to get Jellybean and KitKat on the Discover because the Galaxy Ace Plus has both Jellybean and KitKat ROMs, and the Ace Plus and Discover are basically the same phone, and I did spend a bit of time trying to port a CyanogenMod 10 ROM for the Ace Plus to the Discover, but I'm just too inexperienced with ROM porting and making ROMs and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, so after I ran into an issue I couldn't find any details about on Google, I just gave up and went back to ICS.
If anyone could explain how to make a ROM (whether it be making my own ROM from scratch or porting an already existing ROM like CyanogenMod) for the Discover or even make a ROM for me, I'd be super thankful, preferably I want Jellybean as this is a super cheap phone and I don't think KitKat will run very well on it, however if KitKat is easier to get running I'll do KitKat. The exact model number of the phone is SGH-S730M. I have access to computers running macOS, Windows and Linux. (figured that'll be helpful to know if I need to make a ROM)
How do I create a custom rom?
Hey! So I was so happy with my phone, a Huawei mate 20 lite, that has been obsolete cuz it's old. I unlocked it's bootloader, and I will install TWRP for it, but there's no custom roms like pixel experience or Lineageos for it, so I decided to...

That page doesn't help. The first guide linked there requires you getting the device tree, vendor, and kernel from GitHub, and since the Discover is an obscure device, I highly doubt any of that stuff is on GitHub, I'd have to pull it from a pre-existing ICS ROM or something (but idk how to do that), and on the second page linked there I don't see any sort of guide.
