[Q] Install Linux? - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone been able to install Linux on the Galaxy Note Pro? I'd really like to install it, but haven't found success using the Complete Linux Installer (my tablet is rooted). Apologies if a thread relating to this already exists!

My guess is there is no working kernel for this device, and since we don't have a working device tree to build kernels or even complete kernel source, it's probably not going to happen anytime soon.

That is a shame .. this would be great for it. Does anyone know if anyone is working on this, or who could (and how they might be encouraged)? I would love to see Linux on this!

I have not heard of anyone working on this... Unfortunately the developer support for this device is very minimal. We can't even get a basic AOSP ROM much less a full Linux distribution. Until the price comes down and some devs with a bit of skill pick this up there likely won't be much besides stock based ROMs.

There are quite a few reasons we don't. Number one is that there is not a lot of interest in this device by developers. Gary right now is pretty much our only one and he has already said he eventually will get around to making ROMs but not right away. A few of us have the basic knowledge to maybe hack something together but without good kernels a lot of the hardware may or may not work, wifi for one. There are ways to get these things to work like porting over other devices kernels, but that is beyond most of us here. The 7.7's could be ported over as it has similar hardware and you could probably port over ICS from it too. You would need a good kernel developer who has the time to do it. On top of it Honeycomb isn't the easiest thing to make ROMs for, MIUI and CyanogenMod don't have Honeycomb versions. Once ICS drops we can use that kernel to at least try and port over MIUI 4 and CM9 but its still a lot of work and again having only one dev doesn't help. We will need a team effort to get a lot of it done.

It's not much, but I've started a device tree with some initial work on a CM9 port. If you've got a copy of CM9's repository, clone this repo into the device/samsung directory, then you'll be able to start working on building CM9: https://github.com/alanorth/device_samsung_galaxytab7p
Also, I have a kernel repo here: https://github.com/alanorth/samsung-kernel-p6200
And a collection of initramfs (including touch and non-touch ClockworkMod Recovery): https://github.com/alanorth/GT-P6200-initramfs
If you're at ALL interested in helping with development on this device (especially CM9), fork those repos and start experimenting with building/tweaking STOCK stuff first.
I'm more interested in trying to port over MIUI 4 (ICS version). Been reading up on how to do it but really need the ICS kernel for our device first before I will even attempt it. I pretty much feel confident I could at least get a bootable version up and running but as far as fixing things that are broken that would take a lot more than I might be able to handle on my own. Say if wifi is broken I'm not sure where to go to even start fixing it. I could hang out on the IRC channels to get answers but then this is just a part time interest of mine and not a career.
When will ICS come out? Come on Samsung.

Can I use this any of this for the GT-p210? Or is it GT-p200 specific only?
Edit: Nevermind I see that it's mostly device, android and vendor.mk stuff
To build ROMs we are going to need kernels, MIUI amd CM require an AOSP kernel which you can make following the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki, it is way beyond me as I struggle with Linux in general. There are devs out there who only make kernels and maybe we could enlist their help in doing this.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Building_Kernel_from_source
Now according to cyanogenmod the wifi kernel is seperate and you need the drivers in order to fix it. And from what I understand the drivers for our device will not be released any time soon so this is going to be a real issue.
For porting over another touchwiz ROM we could use the stock kernel but you need the specific kernel for each version of android. Honeycomb kernels don't work with ICS or GB. But since there isn't much of a difference in the touchwiz ROMs between all the Galaxy Tabs why bother even doing this. Right now the only reason I see to try would be to get the 7.7 ICS ROM on our device but since we will be getting the upgrade soon anyways why bother. The upgrade will drop before you could ever get all the bugs worked out of it anyways in my opinion.
Here is the link for AOSP, explains all you need to set up a Linux PC to become a developer. An AOSP kernel will be critical to further development, right now all we could build would be an AOSP Honeycomb kernel as that is the only source code out. Samsung will eventually release the ICS kernel source sometime soon after ICS drops. I have a Linux box at home but I'm not very familar with it, also I think its the latest version which won't work. I really don't like working with Linux its a pain. I do everything in Windows using a virutal machine but should swtich over just because it what most devs use and its easier for them to help you if your on the same page so to speak.

Nice news! Every android device I had, I always found ROMs for. When I bought the P6200 I came here smiling and..... OOOPS no ROMS I was crying 'cuz I always had ONLY TO CHOOSE which one to flash with all my devices (such as Motorola Xoom or Galaxy Note)
I know this one doesn't pretty interest to devs or it has not much business (such as GS2 for example) but I hope we could see nice things soon (just 'cuz the worse thing is that for the old Tab 7...There're lots of ROMs :banghead: )
Let's wait so. And having MIUI here would be the best thing I ever had

[Q] ARM samsung chromebook: Getting fastboot and adb up and running

Hey
I have gone through a forum thread and it seems there has been progress in getting adb and fastboot up and running on arm based samsung chromebook 3.
please refer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157230&page=3
I am working on a project where we would like to get android jelly bean up and running on an arm based processor and run an application designed for this environment.
Any ideas before we purchase the hardware and try it out, if someone has got this working. What were the possible issues we could encounter?
Thanks!
any inputs on this?

I know how you feel DUDE. Its like we are all alone and unless you grew up speaking kernel you are gonna have a haaaaahd time.
I have tried so many times.... I just cant get it in the right place. All I care about is getting to fastboot. The Samsung X300 is a very weak machine so theres not much point in loading it up with linux.
Ive dropped begging posts all over the internetz since July. Glad to have met you bro -- lets figure this out.

Android Go :V

There is still any dev for janice? :silly:
As some of u know, Google is going to release Android Go based on 8.0/8.1 which should work fine on 0,5GB devices, maybe second life for janice?

I think Janice still have some devs on, there was someone working on a 7.1 ROM, maybe we can have hope

I understand, don't worry. :good:
I am disposed to take part in the collect, considering how much as now an s advance costs, wouldn't be so hard to get quickly the money and with very little effort for all.
I think that is a good idea and can really give a new life to our device.
Obviously a spare s advance of a willing and generous user would be the best thing we can hope in, but seems really hard to happen, however, my hope isn't died yet
Maybe on weekend i'll look into what changes are needed to run atleast nougat on it (from source), if this'll work then we'll think about Oreo xD

If you're really interested, I'd suggest to look at the Oreo rom of Chrono:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/ace-2-develop/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3678722
and to look at the Chrono Kernel (compatible with janice but with some bugs):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...tom-kernel-t2793420/post74179403#post74179403
Ace II has the same chip of S Advance (with some code differences) and the dev is very helpful to explain how it works.
Two guys in the same project would be better than one guy on a single project.
As far as I know @sm_adil doesn't reply to any PM and Epirex is busy on his Moto phone.

Yes I agree two or more dev contributing to the same project will be good!!
However if you consider me as fully fledged dev you're wrong I'm more of web developer than android or java. I did build couple of kernel's for testing my skills but than again they were not so stable and I didn't had time to debug it!!
So yeah if get the time I do want to build a ROM for Janice :fingers-crossed:
I've got a Janice right here that I don't use. I'm actually looking right now for a way to root it and install whatever superior than the Gingerbread ROM it currently has, but the point is that it's available for testing purposes. Btw, is it possible to leave a phone number here?

Hi Isaak,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance. I have been looking if anyone developing Android Go support for it. Found your post on the thread, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/general/android-t3714953/page2
I want to learn how roms are built and I would like to support in developing Android Go rom for S Advance, if possible. Can you please guide me where I can start?
As per my experience, I have built a modified linux kernel with some modified device drivers and was able to boot it with a debian root filesystem on Freescale SabreLite board. But never built an android rom earlier.
Thanks

You could start from one of these tutorials:
https://nathanpfry.com/category/android/
I'm not good at compiling, I tried it and didn't like it. So I can't help you more than that.
For this reason, with the help of some xda users, I have donated a S Advance to @ChronoMonochrome.
Currently he's actively developing a new kernel and a new rom in this section:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/development
I think we could expect more roms with higher android versions, so your feedback is important.

Redmi Note 3 Pro - Custom ROMs for Nougat

Hi all,
I'd like to install a custom (global) ROM for my Redmi Note 3 Pro in order to have Android 7 ( Nougat) on MIUI 10. I see that there are different custom ROMs and they each have bugs. Therefore, I'd like someone to suggest me the most stable ROM that is best suited for performance. Also, I'd appreciate if you could link me all the needed tools and guides. I'm currently running Android 6.0.1 MMB29M 2018-07-01, MIUI 10 Global 8.11.22. Beta & I use 4G networking.
Thanks in advance.

There is no such thing as "best ROM", there is only trying them out until you find the one that works best for "you" to suit your purposes.
What someone else likes or what works best for someone else may not work best for you because you and the other someone else probably have different "other stuff" installed or you and the other someone else might use your devices differently for different purposes.
Long story short, stop looking for the convenient answer and start experimenting with the various ROMs available for your model number until you find one that is acceptable to you, you will be the one using your device, not someone else. If you want to modify your device then you have to be willing to put in the time and the effort and deal with the headaches that come along with getting your device setup the way that you, as the user, want it.

I don't know, try it, if you don't like it, try another ROM. As I said, stop looking for a convenient answer from someone else and get busy trying ROMs for yourself, that is what "experimenting" means. You're wasting time, get busy.

If it's made for your specific model number, it won't brick the device unless you as the user do something wrong in the process. If the ROM had a tendency of bricking your device, it wouldn't be posted on XDA. Also, LineageOS is a well developed ROM in most cases, the only LineageOS ROMs that have a tendency of being terribly bult are the UNOFFICIAL builds, the OFFICIAL builds are built by the LineageOS developers, unofficial builds are built by members here that have modified the work done by the LineageOS team, the LineageOS team is at the top of the food chain when it comes to developers of custom android ROMs, you can't get much better than that.

Need custom rom (without gapps) for Samsung Galaxy A31 !

Can someone help me im trying to install any rom (without gapps) on A31, but it seems that none of the custom roms have A31 as their supported device and im looking for any custom rom and TWRP because i can't even find TWRP. Is the phone just hard to custom rom or what? i searched for 3 hours and coudn't find anything worthy of trying. Thanks and sorry for my bad english !
The Phone doesn't has custom roms or twrp for now.
You could try building one yourself using the source code of SourceCodeSamsung
I find very odd that for Galaxy A30 and the recently launched Galaxy A32 has tons of custom roms available however for A31 it seems to be forgotten by the community, nothing other than the stock rom by Samsung. No official or unofficial roms available, that's very sad.

Hi the issues is Samsung mass producess so many phones they can't even keep track of them and they eventually get forgotten Bc I've been struggling to find custom roms for my Samsung a31 but nobody even develops for it but I realize now that they are slowly trying to develop as the device losses support.
