[Q] I want to build CyanogenMod 10 for my Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 myself. Help!

Okay so I've bought a samsung galaxy chat B5330 device back in feb'2013. Don't ask me why cause I conciously bought it. So I realised after searching for 6 months that there is no interest of developers in this device. so I have taken up the initiative to 1) Build CM 10, 2) Port CWM, 3) Root the device myself. However I don't have much idea about building android. I've rooted and flashed Custom recovery n ROMs to my dad's phone before and I'm a geek so I learn things quickly about computers n phones. So I'm nor a complete newbie neither a Master developer. Therefore I need help of those devlopers who will be kind enough not to discourage me. Anyone can root a device which is more popular because it gets vulnarable too quickly so there is no point in telling me that "you should have bought a device which has developer support". I am interested to be a developer myself n that challenge is really so tempting to me. So here are my questions which I don't have exact idea about.
1) I have a computer of the config -> AMD fx 6100 hexacore buldozer 3.3 GHz/4 GB RAM/500 GB HDD/Windows7(32) & Ubnuntu 13.04(64). Can I do the job of building roms from the source with this config in the first place?
2) Does galaxy chat B5330 support 'fastboot'? if yes then How can I boot into fastboot mode? I've tried with adb 'reboot-bootloader' but the device just restarted normally. So I don't know How can I get into the fastboot mode?
3) CM developers are really kind enough that they have put alot effort into making the wiki. I've got precious informations about building android from source and all. But I have a confusion. There was mentioned fastboot is necessery for building CM. So if my phone does not have fastboot should it mean that I can't build CM for my device at all?
4) How much data do I have to download? Do I need to be connected to the internet always while editing local file? n If I use 'repo sync' to update the code always won't my editings get overwritten by stock code again?
so these are few basic questions I have for now. I know I might not get any response at all. But there's no harm in trying. thanks

I have acquired the source code for my device from samsung. Now I just need to port the board configs to the CM10 source.

I don't know whether some people are still talking about this device.
I thought everybody started throwing it and getting his newer one.

I've got a working CWM. Looking forward to porting a newer version.
I've got my hands on a working cwm (somehow it did) for b5330. Now looking forward to porting CWM 6 from cm source. I just have too slow bandwidth for cm source syncing. So let's see how it goes.

The best way to start is to use another Rom as base (get permission first) then start tweaking it with scripts, apps and build.prop tweaks. Once you start to get familiar with the basics, start experimenting with different tweaks. Since you are going to create a Cyanogenmod 10 Rom from scratch, I give you best of luck and hope many people will use it!

FINALLY!
ported

I always support you sir!

I'm currently working on it. It still does not support audio/bluetooth/wifi/phone/usb nothing. It just supports full touch n can run games. You can't use it for calls/internet! I just sideloaded few apk files via adb. So it ran them smoothly. N don't call me sir please. I hate formalities.. just chill

Recovery/Twrp/CWM/ for galaxy tab 4 8.0 (t330nu)

Hi i have recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and am looking into building a Deodex Rom for the device.
The issue is i have not been able to find anywhere on the forum a custom recovery of any kind for this device. I have tried a few versions for other devices such as the Tab3 8.0 and Tab4 7.0 but each time i could not boot into recovery, brought me back to download mode.
My main question and concern is lack of support for this device and i would like to start contributing.
Is there a CWM or TWRP for the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (T330NU)?
If not how can we get one started?
Really want to finish making my custom rom, have all my files Deodexed and ready to go.
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 22:
Source file has been found for this device. If we work together we should be able to FINALLY get a recovery for the Tab 4 8.0 T330nu. If anyone has any useful information or resources to help along the way please feel free to contribute.
SOURCE FOR GALAXY TAB 4 8.0 T330NU (DOWNLOAD USING GOOGLE CHROME ONLY)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=T330nu
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 23:
Recovery should be in the making for the T330NU variant plus 2 or 3 other variants all in due time so please be patient and let us all work together.
Custom Roms could be on the new horizon to fallow you never know ?
UPDATE/EDIT OCT 26:
Boot.img and recovery.img files dumped from Galaxy Tab 4 8.0.
Boot.img dumped from device T330NU:

Recovery.img dumped from device T330NU:

I was under the assumption that the source files come from open source.Samsung.com, of which all three Tab4 models are represented

Seeing as how our tablet has the Snapdragon 400 chipset, same as in some popular Motorola phones and the like, there is pre-existing development that could benefit us, not to mention the relative ease of Qualcomm developing.

I'm just wondering tho it's a bit off topic but only for a brief moment. I have deodexed files I want to replace from the stock Samsung Rom.
My question is do you know any good programs for extracting and recompiling a stock Rom for recovery install after I have modded and replaced files?
Would prefer to compile the Rom on the computer and have the option to make changes and compile a Rom on the phone/tablet itself. As I said I know this is slightly off topic from the recovery but on the other hand after recovery comes the roms and tweaks. I have a file on standby to deodex stock Rom for t330nu.i have been doing research on programs and ways to do it just figured could get a quick tip or flash of insight.

Edit:
Discovered "Tickle My Android" should help for the most part

Just want to check in. Still nothing for us yet. I don't want to push the guys since they are doing this purely as favors since they don't have the devices. I am keeping in touch with them however. Also I pmd @Dees_Troy but haven't heard back there either. One of my buddy's is a friend of his and said he usually won't make a recovery for a device he doesn't have but if a recovery is made and proven working, he will make it official which means more support.

Greatly appreciated, I'm just trying to spread the word and maybe find some more developers willing to help also. Does not hurt to ask right.

I9500 users are lucky. I'm hoping it comes to the i9505 soon.

I am trying to make one usinf PatchRom and Gear CM13 as base.
But I am having issues at applying patches. There are 6 files with errors.
Can anyone help me with the patches?

Miui 8 for i9505?

I'd definitely like to have it. I wish I noticed this thread earlier so I could have posted. I must have missed it. Sorry. My vote is yes. lol

no luck to set it up. status 7...
can't mount /system.
i tried two types of recovery what else can i do?
that's ok now. i hadn't reboot it, but it don't work again.
the inital interface crashes on start, it says that Mi Cloud App stopped, it put me back to the connection settings page. I probably need to register MiCloud.
... create a MI acc, but this app don't let me go anyway, what the ...
... deleted all data and set FirstFlight N7 Themed V6. May be later, it is even not started on a Hello screen.
Anyway, it is absolutle fail, I even didn't start use it. otherwise it looks good, like a step forward. we need optimisation 0[
finally I've done it. the solution was not to swith language at first start screen. google works ok with gapps pico.
camera didn't set from S6 (like FF rom was), battery works so-so. I'll post exactly after a few days.
I have some troubles with icons on a tray, i switch on them in setting but no animation anyway.
the processor drain, batteryHD icon - only inactive pics.
I tried to use Nevermore Kernel, but no result. No Mi boot animation at start. I had to put boot.img to nevermore .zip

What happens if I install the i9500 version on a i9505 device?
Does it fail to boot?
Will it destroy the device?

download links not working
Where to download the rom from ? I downloaded the one by GTBluesky but it has some chinese apps and on blocking them, the phone ends in a bootloop. need some help with the rom and download.

Hi!
I'm very interest in your work, but i'de need it to be 4.4.4 or higher, once there's a lot o apps starting to fail, by asking for android 4.4.4 or higher ....
Is it possible to work upon an CM lollypop?

Unfortunately I have tried to port kitkat to this device and it needs an updated recovery if it has any chance of working. Thanks for the support though!!
I did have a change of plans though. I will port Cyanogenmod 10 and continue the project with that rom.

Unfortunately I can't complete the material tomorrow with modified all files until ApkTool fixes all of its bugs because I can not edit any all files. I have tried multiple and when I rebuilt them, they didn't work.

at least 6.01 already avail t110 t113 t2xx, if those treads are already deleted then ask the developer to resend n refresh them. good luck

I don't believe these threads exist otherwise my months of searching for roms for my tablet were a waste of time. Maybe for the t2xx but not t1xx. Or you could send the link to them

Android Go Custom ROM for S II Plus?

Following the news of the Android Go release, I wondered if it would be possible for someone to port it to this old device:
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-go-news/
I think it would be awesome. Would it be possible or are we still missing something important?

The s2 plus community has died. I can do a port when it comes around, but without support i can't do anything.

A Bad Guy said:
This device has lack of support
See s dous 2 forum , the same chip device with this phone
8.0 : Yes
Miui 8 : Yes
This device is quite good , but real fact there is less real dev for this phone since ghsr

Android oreo (8.0) of s dous 2 is highly unstable (just booted that's all) . Any way, it will be good, if someone could upstream kernel of s2+ (unfortunately no active expert developers fr s2+ , who could easily fix the rejects during upstreaming (or upgradeing))

This device has lack of support
See s dous 2 forum , the same chip device with this phone
8.0 : Yes
Miui 8 : Yes
This device is quite good , but real fact there is less real dev for this phone since ghsr

Just checked s dous 2 forum & I can say that u r 100% correct. They got really good developers & good support
They even fixed screenshot & recent thumbnail issues of nougat rom (which is also a common bug for s2+)
Hats off

The s2 plus community has died. I can do a port when it comes around, but without support i can't do anything.

I think andoid go sources are out

Moto G has AOSP based android go (8.1) nw.
But we lack dev's & support. So andoid go may end up in our dreams

There is one dev still working , i think so

Yes true.
We can't force anyone to work on a rom. Its all up to them.
So lets hope for better
Also Upgradeing kernal to 3.4.xx or 3.10.xx from 3.0.101 is necessary for android go or miui 8.
If anyone of u guys have a knowledge or experinece about kernal porting (or kernal upgrade) , pls try to port a kernal (can take committs from s duos 2) to our device

A Bad Guy said:
No no no
I think you are wrong
3.0.101 is enough for both , but it will takes a lot of cherry pick commit to boot up oreo or go ( more than 100 commits i thought ) . 3.4 and 3.10 just make the way to oreo and go easier ( maybe less than 50 commits )
3.0.101 is also enough for miui 8 , but i think the way this phone dev's port it is completely WRONG , that's why it cant able to booted up

If u have enough knowledge about these stuff's (port &upgrade),why don't you try upgradeing or port

A Bad Guy said:
Be smart , I not good at cherry pick
About miui , i not sure it will have bugs fixed . Problem not caused by kernel , it is caused by libs
But if you wanna try , i give you suggest : unpack boot of both rom ( cm13 s2 plus , miui 8 trend plus ) replace zimage of cm 13 ( s2 plus ) with miui 8 ( trend plus ) , repack boot ( miui 8 ) , flash and let c if it will it boot .

I already tried miui8 porting. But end up in bootloop.
When I took logcat, I saw a error of something like "bradcom tv error" .

Replace lib android runtime.so , android server.so , media_jni.so
Works ?

I already tried that. Not working.
I think a expert porter / developer is required
I quit working on it due to so many rejects

Try to port from s3
Just edit boot
Let c will it booted

In-case of s3, many changes are needed (I am not a good developer ).
Since community is dead, there is no use in porting any rom to these device. Even if I try that, I will not get any support from s2+ community to fix the bugs. (I know that ever since I tried to fix screenshot bug of nougat rom. Only I got support from ghsr & satcom886)

i really liked the MIUI 7 but it's a old android version.
MIUI 8 is a great alternative

Hope

I hope the s2 community does't die completely, do you know where i can download the 3.4.xx kernel for the S2?
