[Completed] Rom requirement and procedure

So i am new to this redmi 2 thread and the device as i was on samsung j5 ...same soc just better camera , screen, and 0.5 gb more ram. Since the development sucked there (we do not have a stable cm 13 ..despite the stock rom updated to 6.0) i decided to exchange my device with my mother's. And i want to go to a nougat based rom from miui 8 global version kitkat. My requirements are..stable rom nougat based rom with volte (jio!!) And customisation and fluidity...recommend a kernel also. So how should i go from miui 8 non rooted with stock recovery to nougat...i just want links for compatible twrp and whether i need to update to lollipop bootloader to run latest rom. And i definitely want your valuable opinions about roms.
Thanks in advance!!

[Discussion] Touchwiz with android m 6.0.1 based on CM/LOS

Hello everyone !
As everyone knows that we have android 6.0.1 and 7.0.x available for Jflte devices i was wondering if maybe a jflte developer could build a rom that is TouchWiz
based on CM/LOS and have android 6.0.1/7.1.x like the rom we got earlier [MIUI 8 based on CM with android 6.0.1] by @mikussj3 .....
i don't know if it's possible to build it or port it that's why i started this thread
I hope i'm in the right section of the forum..
Thanks in advance

TouchWiz can't be based on Lineage.
And porting the TouchWiz stuff to Lineage requires a lot of work. Something that developers don't really want to do or don't have time to do it.
I may be wrong, but I haven't seen a single Lineage/CM ROM that has the TouchWiz framework.
And android 6, 7 TouchWiz ROMs can't be ported to jflte devices because ROM ports I believe have to come from a phone with similar processor type and architecture.
The only S4 that runs Android 6 TouchWiz ROMs is the klte (GT-I9506), which has a Snapdragon 800 processor. So it's similar to the S5, and that made ports possible or easier.

Tthe HTC one m7 google play edition (2013)has 5.1 right it has almost the same specs as the s4 i9505 maybe we could use that as a base for TW roms and port mm apps easily and maybe nougat

Yes, but that's not TouchWiz.

Guys it's not impossible to port android 6.0.1 TouchWiz to GS4 i9505 its just hard to do so. There will be a lot of code changes and stuff like that.

And even then, if some developer ports MM TW, it will be very buggy, and by the time the bugs got fixed, everybody will move on to newer devices.
Think about this way: if that would be possible, a port would already be done.

And that's the problem right there the s4 is dying with everyday passes.

I would love to see a port of the Note 7 on Andriod 5x or 7x..?

I noticed to all the ports of other phones that use TW are on Kitkat why not on a higher Android version like 5x or 7x..?
Iam using Note 7 port from E Team at the moment and that only on 4.4.4 why not 5x or 7x Android..?
CynogenMod is on 7x so why not other roms.
What you think..??

Bcuz it's not possible to use touchwiz apps on cynogenmod.

1.You cannot post these kind of stuffs in this thread
2.Since the stock kernel for above 4.4 didn't provided by Samsung,devs cannot build touchwiz based rom of lollipop or higher

There ain't any TouchWIZ ROMs released by Samsung for our Exynos chipset. (Like for the Note 2, S3 etc). All run on Kitkat.
And also if it where there i need a F2FS patched kernel for AOSP's kernel to work on TW ROMs (which uses a different file system from AOSP for higher android versions).
Else i could've made an attempt like i did for Grand Prime. (But storage will not work, then someone good at compiling kernels could help me at that).
Regards!

Ok I understand,I would use CM but don't like the way it looks too Googly with the google Icons and thats,I hate Google phones and the way the ui looks,Samsung IU looks alot better and I didn't buy a Sam Phone for it to look like a Google one,oh what the themes like,is the a TW theme..??Is there a app launcher that acts like TW,Just fix this phone too,didn't connect to a network,now it does.. any one tried Note 7 rom..?

Android O Go Edition

Hi all !
I read that google will make a lite version of OREO : Android O Go Edition
Made for hardware with 512 Mo to 1 Go of memory
Have you got any information for this version and for you, is it possible to install it on galaxy tab 2 ?
Thanks
Nico
Sorry for my bad english

Unless you or an interested developer ports it to our tab, no you can not install Android Go on our tab.

They are making mid range phone with Android O Go. Like Android One

What makes you think so? Android 6 runs well on my opinion, should do the same for android oreo Go.

android oreo Go is made for hardware with 512 Mo or 1Go of memory, the galaxy tab 2 is in !
like @Lightracer say, android 6 is running well, android 7 is going to be good on this galaxy tab, an android 8 lite should run too

You know it'll move tasks from ram to cpu? More interesting seem to be a GoGapps Package which could help on None-Go Oreo builds.

I see that it is based on LineageOS but well you can not ask for more, you still have to finish it?

Lineage OS for Samsung Tab4, 7 inch, T231, 3G

Guys, I am new to this forum. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (7 inch) T231 is running on very old Android KitKat version 4.4.2. This is the last official OS update received. Many apps are not supported on this old android.
Please provide a stable Lineage OS version, ROM file link and whole process to install.
I will be ok with installing Lineage OS version 13 and above (i.e. Marshmallow 6 and above), which ever is most stable.
Thank you in advance.

Since you are new, a few words...
People may understand your request different, like one understands "is there some out there who can help me and how can I help..." and others may understand "give me that ROM, you are there to provide me stuff..." So better be slightly "overpolite".
Developers and development teams just share their work on XDA and improve it based on the feedback the users or other developers give them. We can be happy, that XDA is a big development hub and have to be very respectful. :good:
The Tab 4 is a very old device, in my case I just use it as a small power bank. Display resolution, RAM, system speed... however, developing may be suspended and you cannot expect newer custom ROM releases.

I will explain quickly because Galaxy tab 4 7.0 variants don't get support.
8.0 and 10.1 models have SD400 (msm8226) SoC, 7.0 has a Marvell for the wifi variant and an Exynos for 3G and LTE variants. And it's easier to work on qcom-powered devices

I'm gonna go ahead an do what nobody else here would and answer your question. And it indeed works because I did it just last night. Just follow the link below
