Samsung S 5 Kali Repo Nightly Bulds 4.4.4 & 5.x - Verizon Galaxy S 5 General

Yes, I have been syncing the github repos for the Kali project nethunter, and I understand that not all people know how to compile their own code and make changes, would anyone be interested in me posting the updated flash-able files here so that you can download and use them? I will also be making a fork off their project to try and specialize in the S 5 hardware instead of nexus.
Thoughts are welcome and appreciated.

Forgive my ignorance, but just so I'm clear. Are you talking about making the individual apps available or porting the entire ROM over to the S5. If it's the entire ROM, I wouldn't think that the retail version of the Verizon S5 would be able to run it due to the locked bootloader, however the Developer's Edition may be able to. I think it's a pretty awesome idea, I've got Kali installed on a live Flash Drive that I use occasionally, and in fact, I think I still have an old version of BackTrack installed on an old laptop that's laying around. I've never used it as a main computer and only booted up to it when I had a specific need (or just had free time and wanted to sniff around to see what I could find), I mostly use it at work to try to test security features from time to time.
I'll have to read up on project nethunter but are people using it as a daily driver?

You are correct I would be talking about porting the actual entire project over to run on samsung devices. It already has limited samsung supoprt, it would be a matter of testing it and tuning it, testing it and tuning it, right now I currently have an s5 running Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 with Kali Linux as well as Lolli 5.0.1 with kali, and yes there are some errors and it needs to be modified but if there is enough interest I would have no problem branching off and working on this.

Sounds good, but sadly I won't be able to take advantage of it until someone is able to unlock the bootloader on the Verizon retail model. If you post this in the General S5 thread instead of the Verizon one (you may have, I didn't check), you'll probably get more of a response. Good luck!
On a side note, I downloaded one of the Nexus nethunter Roms and see there are some apk's, a nethunter.apk in particular but I'm guessing these are bound pretty tightly to the kernel and it would be foolish to install it on a ROM other than Kali, is that about right?

Just so you know, I am building these in linux but I am using them on my verizon stock samsung s5, I have made 4 builds so far, 2 which you flash over 4.4.4 or 5.x and then 2 that include the verizon Roms 4.4.4 and 5.1 with the nethunter project included. I don't have an "unlocked bootloader" as far as I know, and it is working for me.

Whhaaaatttttt, are you sure? You mentioned earlier that you running LiquidSmooth and as far as I know you must have an unlocked bootloader to install anything other than a TouchWiz based, Samsung signed Rom. If there's a method around this, please, do tell, but I'd guess you must have a different variant than the retail VZW S5. Does your model number read SM-G900V?
At any rate, if you running nethunter inside of a verizon ROM, I'd be interested in taking a look at it.

Bring it on. I'll try anything.

I amsure that I do not have an unlocked bootloader, I am going to take a picture of it right now, but just because a rom usually uses the aroma installer doesnt meaen you cant rebuild and change it. yes right now I can upload files for people to test, phone and everything works and this is basically ow it is going to work.
1. I can post files you flash over your favorite 4.4.4 version, or your favorite lollipop version, or if we can decide on the best roms to use this with, I can build the nethunter right into that rom so it would be a single flash.
Let me get some SS's of what I am running now, I was running LS3.2 before now I dont even know, I flash my phone more often then I change my underwear and I am so dedicated to programming I forget to make it to the potty alot. So think about that.. not to much but yeah. And a thumbs up if you can relate lol.
What would you like to see screenshots of? My upload scren, my status screen or if you would just like to pick your favorite 4.4.4 rom, like bob7 deox which is crazy small and light, then I will just compile them and upload them you can try them yourself. At most I just have to save the changes for the teensy style attacks and I had to make changes to how the wireless chipset responded to a monitor type mode.
Does anyone at all disagree with me using ExtremeSyndicate_v5_Deo_BOB7.zip for the simplicity of the install and I will build the nethunter software right into the flash, so that you can test.

Can someone explain in simple terms what is going on before I get my hopes up? Bc I'm reading we are able to flash custom roms over or retail locked verizon s5s? Or just apks? If we could use custom lollipop roms that would be amazing!!!

That's not a bad ROM to build it into. That or the oc4 factory by jkruse. Don't forget to ask the Dev first....

This sounds amazing if I understand right... We will be able to use custom roms on locked verizon galaxy s5? Just make sure you use a verizon based galaxy rom, but i think the one you mentioned above is good... This sounds amazing and feedback will be incredible from the locked verizon s5 population!
Edit: screen shots would be awesome, and maybe if your about phone section and some few pics of home screen, settings, notification panel.... thanks

A lollipop based liquidsmooth rom for our locked phones would be amazing!
Edit: I keep rereading over @rbgCODE 's posts and keep getting more excited! Running a custom lollipop Rom on this device? Holyyyyyy

Ok, I have them compiled and tested on my samsung s5, seems to be working well enough for some other people to try, I will be uploading 4 different versions.
4.4.4 Rom with nethunter built in
5.x Rom with nethunter buit in
4.4.4 nethunter flashable file to flash over your favorite kitkat rom
5.x nethunter flashable file to flash over your favorite Lollipop rom

I modified the liquid smooth repo and removed the aroma installer and made changes for personal use, I will get ahold of them and ask if they would have any problems with me forking off and finalizing a lilli version for handing out, just since it isnt my code just changes I made to it i want to get their permission first.

[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

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!

Question on CM

I am not much familiar with CM and I don't know much about it
I wanted to ask that is a CM made is for all the devices? For example if I download a cm for Samsung galaxy core, can I flash it in grand?
Just this. Thanks in advance
You cannot flash another devices rom, firmware, custom recovery or image to a device that isn't the device it was specifically made for. It will result in a brick.
So let me update you on info on how this all works.
CyanogenMod is an open source android project where a developer can obtain the contents of the source and compile this so called "firmware" to a specific device with required vendors, kernel properties and more.
So let's say there is a Samsung Galaxy S5 ROM, let's make it as if its CyanogenMod (CM) and if I flash it on my Nexus 5 it will not work. The recovery will most likely stop the firmware from being installed. This is because its another device and the N5 is not and s5.
So in other words if something is built for a specific device you cannot flash it on another device. Or it will probably get bricked.
So this means you cannot install CyanogenMod from the Galaxy Core on your Grand. It simply won't work.

Building from source is a good way to learn but its complicated, as you will need to set up a building environment. Simply Google, build CyanogenMod from source

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.
Soon...

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.

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.

Ubuntu Touch porting - where to post?

Hello All,
I am trying to re-vive the Ubuntu Touch port for Galaxy S3. In which of the many areas of XDA this would be placed?
- Its no official or unofficial Android ROM
- its rather like Sailfish OS
How to name the thread correctly according to [ROM] etc flags?

The other problems I manage locally - but I want to start a discussion thread soon, since I am convinced to be able to push out a test build soon. I want to involve more people into this, thereby generating more possible solutions for problems.
In case you are interested, the phone boots already correctly, kernel is fine without errors, Android container starts also without errors. Ubuntu´s init/upstart is mounting all necessary partitions, and brings up most of the basic services. Currently stuck with GUI since mir/libhybris/unity8 cannot paint on framebuffer or hw composer

Hi,
good to know. We just need to make sure AT&T version does not have too much difference from the international one. Can you dedicate it for testing? It does not need data to be wiped normally, since Ubuntu runs off a container in the data partition but you never know...
I am currently stuck with the GUI and tbh I have no idea when and how this will be resolved. Samsung has done a great job with their GPU and Exynos, but our libhybris part does not want to play with it nicely.
Keep you updated!
BR
Actually I use it as my DD but wouldn't mind testing a few ROMs for the gd of the comm.
Aiite then. Patiently waiting for the update.
I have the international version of S3 GT-i9300. It is currently without a working rom, so I need to find time to see if it will boot with an official rom flashed with odin, it currently has an old clockwork mod recovery installed and a lineage os rom that wont boot..
If I get it working again, then I could dedicate it to testing... I would love to have a phone that was pure linux with phone capabilities... then I would no longer need to use google's linux abomination known as android
Hi,
sorry to say but I stopped now every porting activity, since Canonical dropped Ubuntu Touch and we are struggling on all other frontlines to get the community together for continuing the OS.
There will be no new hardware ports in the near future, which I think will be up to 1 year or 2. By that time, also S-III etc are end of life, since its hard to support multiple generations of smartphones with different kernels properly. Im afraid we are too late...
Anyway, contact me if you want to help in other areas of Ubuntu Touch going UBports community

Hi there,
Florian from UBports. The active devices that we support can be found here: https://devices.ubports.com/#/ - that being said, you wont find the Note 2 there as an active device. What happened in the past I can´t say, but currently we have no ETA to work on new devices.

SM-G389F Marshmallow Port to SM-G388F

SM-G389F Marshmallow Port for SM-G388F
Hello Everyone,
So we all know that the SM-G389F has Marshmallow as it's OS,
But when we look on the side of the SM-G388F, we still have Lollipop as it's OS, So I decided to port the OS version of the SM-G389F to the SM-G388F while configuring it to be compatible with it's hardware! :laugh:
I might need some help....
But we can start by Converting the Firmware Download to a Zip for the Custom Recovery to flash it
(Link to Download)
Thanks for Tuning in,
I will keep you all Updated soon! :fingers-crossed:
Hello Everyone,
I've wasted plenty of time trying to extract the SM-G389F Marshmallow Firmware but it was all for nothing. So now I am asking you all who own this device to flash the ROM link above using odin (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-xcover3/SM-G389F/BTU/download/G389FXXS1APK1/114774/) and then creating a backup via TWRP including the system.img and the boot.img and sending it to me via Dropbox, Google Drive...
Anyway I would like to forgive myself for failing to do this operation without owning the phone because of the md5 protection, but now I will be leaving this part in your hands
Thanks in Advice,
Diamond26
For all intents and purposes consider the two devices as completely separate/different. First of all the got completely different SoC's (not revisions but completely different brands of SoC's). I started try to compile LineageOS (my sources are up on github), but I was facing completely obscure or unheard of errors that where difficult to fix and the amount of free time I have has changed so I more or less have stopped doing that for the time being.
I will be writing up all the info I know off the device but that task has gotten away from me at the moment due to computer problems.

Oh ok!
I was just eager to see if someone with a SM-G389F has come, maybe he could back up his 6.0 Stock ROM and maybe I could modify it.
That's why!

Please re-read my initial post in this thread, it's not possible. Your dealing with two different types of SoC's, so what your proposing is not possible, compiling from stock Android sources is (if you can fix every compile error)

Do what ever you want, you can still mess around a lot, you just can't transplant files from the value edition to the Normal edition.
There is some cool mods you can do if you modify system apks.
