Since the SM-T237P does not have as many custom recovery, Roms and root methods. I thought making a "official" thread may help, as well as having the answers to the same questions I see over and over.
I'll be adding a guide shortly containing links to the few roms and recoveries that we are lucky to have.
I'm also working toward building a kernel, then rom. I am no phone developer, but am a "native" linux user and I have cross compiled kernels for the raspberry pi, which runs off arm7 proc. I hope to contribute very soon!
Please add anything you guys can think of
Lg G Pad 7 (v400) has similar specs to SM-T237P. And Lg G Pad has cyanogenmod support. If you are working on porting may become easy.

Hi developers, I have this Sony phone and there is no custom ROM for this device yet and I would like to create one for my own use and possibly made it available for others if I am successful. I am so tired of the bloated software which I can't get rid of that I don't care about bricking this phone anymore.
Some years ago I used to fix computers, printers and networks for banks. I'm new in Android systems but not in computer systems. I did Install OS's like linux flavors or updated printer firmwares in my days so this is not new for me, I just want a little of a guidance to start.
I know how to root my Android system using the app called TOWEL ROOT (the only that has worked in this phone).
The next step that haven't done yet is unlocking the BOOTLOADER, which I don't find difficult to do according to what I have read so far.
My concern is: there is no custom ROM to install after the BOOTLOADER is unlocked, so if I want one I would have to build one. I've watched a tutorial on youtube and I've read the cyanogenmod wiki, but the amount of information is so huge that I got lost and frustrated and that's the help I ask. Could any of you tell me the information I need to read to understand how I could port a custom ROM to my device?
If more information is necessary I'll be glad to provide.
Nobody has made a custom rom for e1.make if you like.

I'm no expert here, but maybe you could try this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
Your phone is fairly new and I'm pretty sure kernel sources are on Sony's website, so maybe one of you guys could give it a shot. I would, but I don't have an E1.
I would like to learn how to root a device but I'm not sure where to start. Pretty much I want have a more streamlined system that is more secure. It's currently an android device. LG G Pad VK700. The carrier is Verizon. I have used Linux a lot and done live builds along with kernel builds. Nothing really custom though. I was told this was the forum to hit up.
Where do I get started? Any recommended books?
I'm more interested in learning the entire process of rooting a device and developing and installing a custom ROM than in a quick download this app.
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
Please check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
It should work as reported here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60319213&postcount=170
Good luck!
I'm pretty new at all this buy the basics of installing already made roms I get my question is when attempting to create new custom roms what information about the device say (cpu, gpu, modem, kernal, etc) need to match up to attempt using or moding those said parts of the dev process in order to build a working tree. Continued below Sidenote........
Sidenote : idk if the terms I used were correct in there placement or meaning but I feel that any who will reply to this thread probably grasp what I'm getting at.
So essentially what I'm attempting to do is figure out what things to change and how to change them in order to figure out what goes into building a rom or the favorable option that I'm shooting for is what to look for to attempt to match up a already built custom rom from another device I need little to no changes in order to use on my device's, reason being, both devices I am currently woking on, which are a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime sm-g360t and a HTC Desire 626s, do not have a official or even, to my knowledge, have an official CM and honestly besides one,the HTC which I have TWRP and it's running now off the AdvancedStock rom I found on this site and it keeps wanting to break or just doesn't work the way I want .
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist,
please ask here:
Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking
Good luck!
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.
Thread moved and closed!
Hello i have been a long time user of XDA and been installing custom ROMs and mods on all devices i owned and even few devices of my friends. I was amazed how developers make amazing ROMs and kernels for us which work even better than stock almost all the time. I am a college student with a fair bit of programming and linux knowledge but never got around to android development (except making apps which i have done). Can anyone suggest how can I start developing or from where do I start (the little bits) ? I currently own poco x2 and mi A1. Or if there's a good guide to it can anyone link it ? If the developers of Poco x2/k 30 can help guide me to the path of developing it would be amazing.
Thank you in advance ?.
I am no expert on this subject (am ok at searches and found this), may be these are good steps to start:
1. XDA resource - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-build-custom-roms-kernel-t3814251
2. Pray , so that more devs will join with you on custom dev for this device.
Edit: BTW, am already praying since we have been able to unlock bootloader.
check here: its already started
collab with others who are already onboard
