Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SGH-I497 AT&T

If anyone knows of or is in production of a custom ROM please let me know. I have mine rooted with CWM, so if you need any stock files let me know and Ivan send them over! I would love to have something for this make. I see there are plenty of option for the pxxxx or gtxxx models. But nothing for the SGHxxx variants.

Looking for this too!!!!!!!

OK, I will jump in also.... But if you do find one, come to Google+ and point the way.
https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100516894664157928866

I have one too and I can't believe there is no development for this thing. If there is no dev for it soon, the next new thing will bump it off the AT&T shelf and all we'll have is a rooted stock Tab 2 or the opportunity to buy something else.

Im sorry but there is seriously only one dev for any SGHXXX device. And he only supports the 7" one. Sorry guys. Besides, why not get a Nexus 7 or wait for the new Nexus 7.7?

Maybe because we wanted a 10.1 inch tablet NOT a 7".

Did you really have to bump this thread just to tell me that?

How did you get yours rooted? I have tried a number of different ways and never could get it rooted. I have searched XDA for it as well but no luck.

hi guys do you still have SGH-i497 tab ?

I'm also looking for any usable rom apart from stock. I have an sph-p500 which is technically the same as sgh-i497 but found no roms at all. any help appreciated. all rom links are broken. I know the device is pretty old but I don't want to shred it.

SGS2 i9100g

Is it possible to convert neatrom i9100 phone to run on phone i9100g?
I owned this rom, what are the files that are changed to operate on i9100g
Thank you to all members of this wonderful forum to help us in developing our phones

i can explain you, how to modify the files, so can can istall the rom BUT i really don't know if its compatible or may be your phone starts to scream and run away...
Seems to be a realistic scenario besides a BRICK
i9100g is produced later with a completely different CPU and GPU chipset. With my HTC One S it is the same, i had trouble to get an "old" S4 variant, which is quite better.
Just try outa rom compatible to your phone pls.

Ok Thank you

Thank you for your response, my dear brother
I am a follower of this topic for a long time, but updated this thread slow compared to the subject i9100
For this I was looking for a way to convert this Rom and also because I love to learn, development and modification

let me help you a lil bit now
download the ported rom for the g device and the normal rom version , then open the gdevice rom with a zip explorer(7zip or winrar) and the orig rom , then take the files from system/app / framework / fonts /media from the orig rom and paste them over the ported rom inside the system folder (you'll replace them) and then do the same thing with the preload folder , this one you just take it and replace it with the ported one
and then follow the instructions of how to flash from the ported rom thread and see if it will boot
now you should have the new nr version ported on the old version base
good luck :good:
if you need further help i'll be at one quoted post away
and ICS_XD is busy with his college studies that's why he didn't updated it yet , i wanted to port my rom too but my normal s2 device got broke and i lost my dev interest

Going from 4 to 5

I just got my s5 out from storage. I want to get it to a Android 5 ROM. It is running RWilico ROM and is Rooted with the LAtest TWRP recovery. 3.1
Where is a link to the ROMS available for the s% I had a page bookmarked, but it says the link is no longer available.

Thanks everyone for the replies

if the link is not there anymore then the rom was deleted due to various reasons. Your best bet is to try a different rom then

this is kind of a dead/dying forum, so please dont be so edgy when a reply isnt quick or even happens at all. Makes those of us who still hang around less likely to help. Heres rwilcos sprint s5 repository and you should be able to backwards engineer for any of his other repos

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?
Official site

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

8.0 first , then you can dream more :cyclops::cyclops:

Go is 8.0 based so idk if it's any sense to build Oreo when we know that it won't be stable xD

I thought it is 8.1 , isnt it ?

Probably yes, 8.0/8.1 are same OS with small differences

I didn't think you had a S Advance too.

I had one before , around 2012-2013. At that time there is less rom to use

Too bad, I'm looking for an active dev, but they continue to say they need the device...
so now I'm looking for someone who does have it but doesn't use it.

This device chip is absolutely same ( and brother phone ) to ace 2 . I suggest you to give the device to ace 2 (chrome) dev...

It's still my primary phone, so I can't.
But I'm available to make a small donation of 10 euro.
Unfortunately I don't think it's enough, so I invite anyone to post here if you agree with this idea (or the idea to give your S Advance).

A Bad Guy said:
I used it just around 2012-2013 , why dont i use it now ?
It was sold in 2014
I just participate in this thread as old user

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
Srinivas

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.

Can anyone give me a good noob friendly guide on how to compile a custom recovery for samsung mediatek

I really want one on my a10s and I doubt anyone is gonna make one any time soon. And Id e happy to learn how to make one.

Well I want to be able to use my A10s to last me as many years as possible, and I also want android 11 early. So my plan was to root it which someone already did for me. Then install twrp to flash a gsi of android 11. The benefit would also be potential 64 bit support as well (if I can get a 64 bit gsi working). And maybe doing this will motivate other XDA developers with this phone to create proper custom roms for it.
