Will Substratum ever work on Samsung Marshmallow devices like the Galaxy S5? - prjkt.io

As the title says: would support for official android touchwiz be added in the future or it's impossible? It's pretty bad that the S5 Neo got Nougat with the new Samsung Experience UI and the original flagship is stuck on the old UI on Marshmallow :/ Also, if I flash a custom ROM ported from the S8/Note 8 would Substratum work then? Thanks in advance!

Support
No the substratum does not have support for Samsung devices even if you put a Samsung based custom rom (in your case s8 port) it won't happen...you would need something more AOSP like lineage os kinda stuff

Newest ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P900?

Newest ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P900?
Looking for ANY rom for my tablet. My tablet are very slow, and needs at ROM upgrade.
What do you recommend?
Or your opinion on best ROM
Our opinions aren't as important as your own since it's ultimately your device.
What do you prefer - Samsung's baked in features in Touchwiz including the integrated S-Pen features, or do you prefer a cleaner Android experience without the S-Pen integration (though the pen will still work) ?
The "latest" stock Samsung firmware is basically 5.0.2.
I'm currently using Civato's ROM since I like the pen and multiwindow integration.

CM 13.0 but you'll loose a lot of Samsung's built in apps and quality of life usability features because the TouchWiz framework only functions for Android 5.0.2. Have you tried the debloated rom versions of the stock and non-stock Andriod 5.0.2 roms? Personally I'm eagerly awaiting a android 7.x.x release for the 12.2 pro P900 but it has yet to be released by rom developers mainly because Nougat (7.0) is still very young in its release cycle.

[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

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.

[REQUEST] [T560NU] One UI 1.0/2.0 for Galaxy Tab E

Hello XDA! This is my first post.
So I currently own a Galaxy Tab E T560NU, and it's getting pretty old and could use a good refresh.
So I'm here to ask if anyone could make a One UI 1.0/2.0 port for this device? I've tried an unofficial LOS 17.1 port and it ran nearly smooth as butter.
Many thanks.
Mmm... is not possible (In my opinion) because the snapdragon 410 has had official support until 7.1 after that i didn't see a oreo or pie update for this SoC and only has support for aosp roms but no for TW
i had an A5 2015 (is not a tablet sorry for this example) and i didn't see TW oreo or TW one ui for those device only tw 7.1 but with aosp has android 10
It may be that this comment is not very understandable but for the moment it is what I know
good luck and sorry for my bad english

Question Will the Samsung Tab S7 FE ever receive any custom ROMs?

The Samsung tab s6 lite is an older model with lineage and other roms available, will the S7 FE get any open source ROMs in future?

Probably not until there is a stable recovery...
And I noticed ads about Tab S8 so yeah I'm very doubtful as developers like to get on newer devices.
However I still hope one day we will see recovery and roms

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see where the state of 3rd party development goes with samsung's latest devices in the coming years

Interested to buy this tablet too since S8 series just released and so the prices decreased for 7 series but i'm on hold because there are no custom roms available atm.
Do not want use the stock samsung rom, want a vanilla aosp rom and install packages i like to make it as light and fast and possible.
Hope lineageOS devs will consider to port LOS on this device too like they did with S6 series.
