[Q] Running OS other than Android.

Any hope in running any os other than android on tab 7 plus?
Tired of waiting for ICS, or custom ROM. Possible to port the merproject to this?
http://www.xda-developers.com/developments/mozillas-boot-to-gecko-running-on-a-samsung-galaxy-sii/
this sounds good too

i am going to attempt a rom soon but first i will help u port if you can find one with very similar compatibility such as a sg2 rom as we share very similar hardware. you could also try patching one together such as sg2 hardware with g tab 10.1 base if you become stuck i will help u out and im sure a lot of people on here have got your back.

this appeared today, its running on sgs2.
i can't find much about merproject on hardware similar to tab7plus. might be a hard start.
to be honest, i have no idea how to do a custom rom

i really dont think that the gecko project is quite ready for our device as it is very new to the gt2 but im sure its best to start with an android based os even if we just stick to honeycomb but a stock version possible a xoom sg2 port or a stock themed rom for the sg2 then all we have to do is tweak and port but its dest if you read all about development and porting etc before attempting anything rash haha.
their are meany guides online to help you if you want to give it a go in your spare time and u have the advantage of me and my lack of care for this over secured tablet haha so basically i will attempt anything with it and if i hard brick it iv still got a $764 roofing tile haha its not every day u see a house with samsung roofing

yup.. not yet matured.. i'm now building the qemu version of it, want to see how it goes..
actually, i don't mind going back to CM7
i really want to learn how to do a custom rom, but the tab+ is still under a 2 years contract. don't want to take toooo much risk for now.

you are pretty free from totaly destroying your tab+ as it as very hard to hard brick it and soft bricking is sooooo easy to fix its silly haha all you need it stock firmware and odin 1.8 and your back to stock all u need to worry about is loosing data.

Installed on a ZTE Grand XMax+ (or ZTE987)
Worked well, but I seem to be missing the soft buttons at the bottom so when an app opens I can not go back or get to the home screen
Is there a way I can fix this?

Do you have the cricket version because this is for zte zmax right
Sent from my Z987 using XDA Free mobile app

I downloaded the rom from this site and used it on my Cricket ZTE Grand Xmax+(Cricket ZTE987) and it works well,
the Camera is not working though, If there is anything I can to to help please let me know. I will test or verify specific parts as working or not just let me know what you need to know.
Reference this thread for more info and a TWRP image of the cricket factory rooted OS

I put it up in case someone screws up and needs to backtrack if anyone else with more experience than me can pull the camera app and put it in their rom so it can be ported to a ZTE Grand Xmax + (cricket ZTE987)

nevermind found it

You guys are fine now but I'm gonna reccomned you stop installing them after this. There all baked in with my new kernel which I modified zte zmax specific things. You will get a brick from this most likely.

Yea that was me. I make all the 5.1 ROMs and kernels and right now all it has is governors and io schedulars but in the next version I added OC and UC which will probably brick your device.

Clearly not too. It has a different storage size and ram iirc which is a bad thing because in the kernel ram is accounted for there and such. I messsed with stuff that's specific to that. Also the reason the camera doesn't work??? Clearly the camera is different in some way

And what I was saying is the stock kernel is probably fine for you device if its OC but there was no 5.1.1 kernel for the zmax because it never got a real update so it was hacked together and made for the zmax so it may not work as things were drastically changed

Yea my new kernel is the same except the stock kernel is pure as it was made by zte but the new kernel has modification's to it and some stuff it pulled from other devices which may not work on your device. And our GPU and CPU is very common so things may work but mainly what I'm worried about is the ram. Things may go haywire because you have half the ram

LG G3 Keyboard for CM/AOSP ROMs

Hi everyone,
I've been using non-stock ROMs for quite a while and I was always flashing LG keyboards, cause I find them really handy to use.
I had asked in the Official CM13's thread, if anyone had known a compatible LG keyboard, but no one had answered.
After some search, I found this thread, and after flashing the keyboard I found out that it works flawlessly with CM13 (latest nightly) for my G2, too. Of course I take no responsibility for any kind of problem that might occur during/after flashing the .zip, as I said it works just fine with my G2.
All credits should be given to @siankatabg who made the .zip, all I did was just search G3's forum and test if it works.
Hope this helped anyone looking to flash a LG keyboard to his/her CM13 based ROM. If the thread is against the rules, I'd like to apologize in advance, and mods, feel free to delete it.

It works on g2 too, that's nice, but should work on other cm/aosp roms.
Can you please change the title when someone report that the Keyboard works on other roms than cm13, so I don't need to make a new thread here
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Done. Thank you for your work!

Didn't work on cm13 temasek rom for s3(i9300)

Well said however get twrp to work for me was a hell of a job and fear if would end up bricking my device. Just trying to be careful on this.
Better to learn from mistakes of others than to make one yourself.
I am not a developer and not sure of how to set my device back to normal may god forbid if I end up messing it up.
Hope this clarifies my question above

well... If you already have TWRP installed, do a nandroid backup and if anything goes wrong just recover form it, there is no way that just flashing this will brick your phone beyond recovery point, and even if in some way recovery got corrupted there's always a way, you can just run download mode and flash KDZ with stock rom using flash tool 2014. Anyway I went ahead and tried it myself on Lineage 14.1 ( Android 7.1.1.) and it doesn't work, I mean i did flash it and it seems that everything went well but after reboot it just wasn't there. You better off with Google Keyboard (you can get it at google play store)
BTW. The easiest way to get TWRP on LG G2 is just flash stock lollipop root it, and than flash "Autorec for lollipop", when it's done just go to recovery and flash newest TWRP available and you're golden.

Flashed the file in language and inputs in settings lg keyboard shows up but I enable it reboot still have aosp keyboard tried disabling aosp keyboard and lg gets automativmcally blacked out with it any help appreciated!!!

TW ROMs in snapdragon section

Just summering if anyone had tried any of those as some say they're for our model and some say they'll work with the correct kernel.
I've been on AOSP/LOS MM,N, and O. I just wanted to try something different.
Thanks and sorry if it's been asked before

This looks interesting, what kernel did you install after installing the ROM itself. I"ve seen Boeffla, SmartPack, and Phoenix for TW Roms for verizon. There could be others I suppose in other threads though.
Also, did you do anything with CSC, That's an acronym that I'll have to look up and I've never had to worry about that option. Debloated as it is, is really nice, I'd say it's one of , if not, the fastest TW rom out. But I'm looking for something to debloat myself if possible as I wanted the theme engine from another newer phone like for example the s7/8/9 or note series or whatever phone, but substratum would be the shiznit.
Thanks for the reply, and I'm still collecting info from everyone else the more opinions the merrier IMHO that way not only myself but maybe others can make a decision.
I ran Phoenix 15 a while bak and it was a pain to install and use. But the theme engine worked flawlessly. I have all the files from one of the newer phones I found somewhere that after you copy them to the right places and restart your phone you can use s7 or s8 themes I beleieve.

Ahh that's cool the csc code can meke you TW ROM think your phone is something else... VERY COOL>

I like phones that look like "official", "untouched" and don't use rooted phones in everyday life.
That's why I use stock SM-G900V kernel for both CID15 and 11.
But if you have a CID15 phone, you can unlock the bootloader and use any kernel, of course.
Also, did you do anything with CSC, That's an acronym that I'll have to look up and I've never had to worry about that option.

Yes, the most obvious options are the APNs for local operators (I'm on the opposite side of the Globe from Verizon ) and some useful features as the phone call voice recorder.
But mostly I use this ROM because it's international and contains many languages - I use 2 languages besides English in my everyday life .
On the other hand, SM-G900V is a very good and inexpensive device and works just excellent with this ROM.

Nothing special.
The main idea is to use the system image from a good international ROM and the rest of firmware parts from the most recent G900V stock ROM.
Devbase idea is great and beautiful itself but I think is not that much needed for G900V.
Personally I use this ROM in stock unrooted variant.
The ROM (system image) is flashed to G900V from SafeStrap recovery.

Personally you use which rom?
My issues or quirks so far, going back to older twrp, just the right one so that my SD can be read, and I think none of the earlier versions that allow aroma to function correctly, can deal with my ExtSD that is set as internal in storage in N and O. So, I bit the bullet and tried a couple taking care to flash the correct kernel in each case. However, my efforts were fruitless, and I ended up completely wiped. And while I keep a lot backed up regularly, It had been a while but I didn't lose much important stuff but more like stuff I just don't like having to chase down, like the latest magisk, nanodroids zips, xposed, custom kernel, and so on..
Either way, after trying two different roms, Nemesis and Noise, which I was really looking forward to running, neither worked well. I can't remember making calls or sending texts, but I do remember a lot of apps crashing constantly but perhaps there's more to do that select a kernel, the one thing they ask you to select doesn't have an option for vzw. The code thing, that's probably what screwed me on both attempts.

For those who are wondering, there's the phoenix ROM in the vzw dev thread. It does have the theme engine from Samsung. I just wanted to try something like Noise or another Rom.
Also I remember downloading the files needed from somewhere to add to a stock rom to add the theme engine. There's quite a bit, but I'm almost certain this would work, for the theme engine, but I'd like to try some of the newer samsung apps.
I kinda really hate going back to to stock based rom because I have a feeling it's not going to be up to date with security patches. That's one thing I like about running Oreo, and even Nougat, there have been several dev's / builders releasing roms with the latest security patches baked in.. RR for example on AndroidFileHost, I think I saw viper, and others as well.
I'm still undecided at this point, and I'm just getting my apps back and with everything else after my accidential SD wipe when I tried to install one of the roms. That really sucked because my last full phone backup was a year ago.
Keep me posted if you guys get any of those ROM's from there working.

Well I've tried a couple and none of them have cell service of any type working for me. I've tried Noise and Unique to no avail. Unique booted fine but no service, Noise wouldn't get past the initial boot screen. This is just my experience so YMMV.
Oh, I've had excellent luck with the Phoenix ROM for CID 15 phones. Everything works as it should. But I still prefer AOSP or LOS based ROMS. If I can only get data working as it should when I'm not on Verizon towers.

It possible to install a custom OS on the fire HD 10 (7th gen) yet?

Haven't really been keeping up with the modding scene for this device. Wondering if someone has managed to install a custom rom on the 7th gen fire HD 10 yet. I absolutely loath the OS it has and just want a normal tablet, not amazon's weird neutered version of android.

At the moment, no..
 @DragonFire1024 compiled aosp ROM but I do not know how it ended. Also keep in mind that there is no ROM for the Fire HD10 processor (mt8173) On github I found this:
https://github.com/Goayandi/mediatek_mt8176_development
But I do not know if it will help.

Thanks for the info. Really wish I bought a different tablet because this thing is an awful android device.

Well, it's not a generic Android device nor is it marketed that way. It's an Amazon shopping portal that happen's to run on Android.

Plenty of my hacks and mods have fixed a significant amount of those esthetics. FireOS isn't really on its own so much like Samsung is. What amazon did was smart. Very few people these days go this deep into the OS to perform these little tricks anymore. This is all old school stuff. It's smart on their and because it's very hard to find the right tools that work. It's hard reverse engineering something that is based off 12+ year old coding.

At the moment, no..
@DragonFire1024 compiled aosp ROM but I do not know how it ended. Also keep in mind that there is no ROM for the Fire HD10 processor (mt8173) On github I found this:
https://github.com/Goayandi/mediatek_mt8176_development
But I do not know if it will help.

The build isn't a problem...at least I can't get that far to tell. It's the script, at least for now that causes the issues. It's really quite bizarre. I fix what few errors there are and it's as if more pop up after, no matter what I change. Well I have completely re written it now and I have a few tests to do. I'm going to try a few methods of installation. If none of these work, then I'm literally at a loss. It's possible amazon installed a backup script somewhere that's stops the system partition from being flashed and what are logged as errors might not be. If that's even possible, the script would be embedded in that partition. Sounds crazy but after All the crazy amazon scripts I've seen, this wouldn't be a surprise.

Wait a moment.. You compiled a ROM for mt8173!??
 @diplomatic, You told me it was almost impossible to compile a rom for 64bit mt81xx.
Is it easier to compile an AOSP ROM?
 @DragonFire1024, what sources have you used? Would they serve for a mt8163?

No, he didn't compile it. I think that's your word, not his. He made a mod of the stock ROM at the binary/file level. To compile one from source is something completely different.

Correct. Though the one thing I haven't tried yet is modifying the actual LVY48F system image. This whole time I've been working off the extracted system.img from Amazon's update.bin. If the tests I perform next aren't successful, perhaps I'll try that, but I don't think it will make much of a difference.
