Hi to all! I wonder if someone can make a port of the android L preview of the nexus for our device: is it possible?
No need. Better wait a while for full open source version
BTW wrong section
It's will be useless, because in less one month we will have official by cm
Some people tried, but it wasn't possible. Our kernel relies too heavy on CAF, that's why it won't work. We would need a clean AOSP kernel for the developer preview, which is not worth the work because we will get L some time late next month hopefully.
Next time, take this question to the Q/A section. There's also a thread in general that was working on this, but it dropped due to a bad AOSP kernel source from OnePlus
thanks to everybody, and sorry for the wrong section!
I'm not a newbie, i just made confusion with tapatalk :silly:

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.

snap!!! i would also love to see it on our tab. i would even consider forgetting WiFi till its fixed i want it that bad i don't see how some one has not made it with out WiFi just a basic platform to work with
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

Sorry if you feel were a little touchy here, its just that sometimes there complete noobs that come here to the forums and don't even think about checking the android development section or even bother to read other threads that hold the answer to their questions.

Rule 2 never ask ETA but yes it thomas.raines is hard at work looks like he is on to something this time will find out really soon and by the way there is a active post about this so ......
I never asked for an ETA, I was asking how close, as in similarity.

Seriously? Then why didn't you ask "how close to 4.2.2 is 4.1.2?" if that is what you were trying to ask? That would have made more sense if you were looking for similarity. But then why even ask about CM 10.1?
I'm sorry, most normal people can use the word "like" in more than one way. I asked about Cm 10.1 because I wanted to know if it was out, and then I asked what the difference between the two, Paranoid Droid, and 4.2.2 were. I'm so sorry if you weren't able to cope with the fact that I asked two questions. Two questions, that have already been answered. Good day sir.

Well to answer both different questions, CM10.1 still isn't out yet, but the devs are making progress. We only need a working kernel - and at last check surfaceflinger is the main issue (see CM 10.1 thread).
Since PA is based on CM 10 (4.1.2) it's very similar to all flavors of 4.1.2 - which doesn't have anything from 4.2 in it (PA allows you to customize pixel density on a per app basis). The main difference between CM 10 and PA is that CM is official and gets nightlies (really more like weeklies) updates - none of which really adds anything. It's my understanding that the nightlies only fix issues related to specific devices (based on the changelogs). Seems though that some builds are more stable than others. Thomas has EOL'd PA 4.1.2 to concentrate on getting the 4.2 kernel working.
A good article detailing some of the differences between 4.1.2 and 4.2 can be found here. http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html
Since the question has been answered I'll be closing this.
I understand that the question I am about to make is rather stupid, but here goes anyways.
Is there any chance that we will see the new, yet to be released, Android L on our devices(i.e. Miro, Tipo, E and J)?
I wish to know what do developers think of this and if you know how what are the basic requirements for Android L, since the developer`s preview version is already out?

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-tipo/
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/phones/xperia-j/
Scroll down to the bottom and find the android version overview. The Xperia E (Dual) didn't have this section, some don't. But I am assuming that the Tipo Dual, the E and the E Dual will not be upgraded past their current versions. You'll be lucky if you see developers build it for these devices.

I completely understand that there will be no official upgrade for all these devices. Its just that I am asking if the guys around these forums will be able to port the new Android L (probably will be Lollipop) on these devices.
Thanks for the reply!
The guys here are doing CM11.Try it if you want but it is stil in alpha stage.I dont think that we will see Android L for our devices but if we can run 4.4.3 with no problem (lag free and working camera ) that is going to be great.
Oh, we can if the devs build it... or if we becomes the devs and build it! (I personally prefer the second option, cause XDA, I think, is a developer site and we'd be crappy members if we're on a developer forum and can't make anything )
No disrespect intended.
It would be cool to see L on our devices.
Also remember that it's still a dev preview, we probably have to wait for google to release this along with a new nexus.
I'm sure someone will be curious enough to try porting it, but I'm also sure it won't be soon, probably not even in this year.
IMO I'd prefer devs finish one project, then move to another one.
Guys,
Guys,
Don't take me hope losing for you
This coulde be impossible
J=SingleCore 1.0Ghz Cortex A5+Adreno 200=Sluggish perofrmance on all roms (including stock)
Tipo,Miro,Nahnu are worst than jlo
So,I think that CM11 is enough (As its still in alpha stage) :laugh:
Please, Guys Don't take that offensively
Good Luck
First off, as always on any forum I'm ever on, I have no idea what section this thread should be in... So if it shouldn't be in general, please let me know. Now to business! I have my Xperia Z5 rooted, running 32.3.A.0.376, with sceryavuz's patch. Anyway I wanted to flash a new rom, so I wanted some suggestions. The three most important aspects of a rom to me are it's camera, it's customization, so substratum support would be nice, and battery life. I was looking at a lot of roms, but I really don't know which to pick... Anyone know of a good stable rom, that would somewhat fit what I'm looking for? Or any cool roms in progress that may be released soon? Also any comments on what roms you guys are using, and why you choose that rom would be nice. Thanks. -Spynathan
There is no stable nougat for our Xperia z5 as of now.. Stock nougat is only stable.. No official lineage.. Carbon rom has also some bugs

Yeah I figured, Nougat's still fresh to the Z5 so I reckon it's a bit of a waiting game for awhile.. Well thanks for the reply, I'll probably keep an eye around for when a stable rom comes out.

Please do tell me how it goes! Also what model do you have? I have an e6603, seems to be hard to find roms for it.
No fingerprint scanners and the network speed under settings does nothing. That's the bug I noticed. Now will b back to stock for sake of camera

Alright thanks.
Hello everyone! I got some good news!
I may be the first person to make a custom rom for this great device!
But, however, I have to dissapoint you. The first Custom rom will be still Android 5. I managed to boot android 6, but there are just to many bugs. So, Soon a am going to build AOSP or Cynaogenmod for our device. (Omni too, maybe?)
I will delete this thread once i managed to build the rom, so you will notice.
(PS: Please give me time. It will take some time....)
EDIT!!!: The first thing I will focus on is making a custom kernel.
can you share your android 6 build? i was trying to port it from chuwi but didn't succeed. about AOSP... well, acer's source code has many bugs. i tried myself to compile 5.1.1. AOSP but it just won't boot, both x86 and x86_64 version. it finishes without errors but when i flash the img files it hangs on black screen, no boot animation. probably my fault, because i'm not a pro programmer.
for the kernel part... it compiles and seems to work ok, but i couldn't get wifi and bluetooth running. and yeah, slimport drivers need some rework, they are the reason for screen flickering, don't know if you noticed it.
all in all, very bad job acer made, even i as beginner could see that.
but, good luck to you, i'd love to see some custom rom in near future and if you need beta, alpha testers, here i am
Please do not create any more of these "Coming Soon" threads on XDA and especially not in Development forums.
