Can anyone confirm if it is possible to compile ICS kernels using 32-bit Linux? I am currently on 32-bit 10.04 Ubuntu LTS, and do not have access to a 64-bit system. I think I read somewhere that 64 bit is required for ROM building, but I haven't been able to find any related information for kernels (which are apparently simpler/easy to build).
Any information would be appreciated.
I think 64 bit is a necessity

Well I was able to successfully compile my zImage and wireless module without errors. When I flash my update.zip though, it gets stuck on the Google splash screen. But I think that's a separate problem..
hello everyone, yesterday I wanted to flash my smartphone and unfortunately I forgot to backup. I deleted the whole operating system and I can't find the stock firmware anywhere ... is there anyone who knows where to get the matching firmware? I was looking everywhere and I did not find one that I could install.
specification:
MT6580WP
8xARM Cortex A7
1GB Ram
kernel 3.10.72
Bulid: I700v60_lcd_I503_zx_20190827
Android: 9.1 (but I don't believe it)
Hi, I have got the same phone its android 5.1 with 1 gb ram and 16gb storage.
It however reports android 9.1 with 6gb ram and 128gb hdd.
So playstore tries to install android 9.1 app into phone and crashes. A truly useless phone.
Unfortunately I did the same mistake as you and now I cannot find a rom for it.
Luckily I payed 20f for it so no big loss. Lesson learned.
Being said that I will keep an eye out and will post it if I find one.
Hi Folks,
I just bought a new device and the seller was nice enough (doh!) to install Android 10 on it. The known way to root up to Android 9 on PX5 and PX6 devices[1] would work here too it seems, at least with minor modifications. I guess the partitions layout, fs-overlay and... stuff... did change a bit, but it was rather straight-forward to implement nevertheless. Enabling ADB over WIFI, adb connect, adb shell remount / and /system rw, moving old su, pushing new su, su --install, pushing SuperSU.apk, correcting permissions, reboot and the system bugs about "app might be for an older version of android, it might not work correctly" and right, nothing root related works. It is like all root requests end in a nirvana and no error messages are generated.
So my guess would be that just a newer su-binary or newer SuperSU.apk (or both) it might just work. I know chainfire left the supersu-team but I am unsure about the implications. Advice here? What about Magisk? I really don't care, I just need root for some apps and general tinkering here and there. Any help appreciated.
regards

EDIT: here is a rooting tool for px6 https://github.com/KswCarProject/KswRooting
Were you able to figure this out? I just bought a px6 android 10 unit since it was a decent bit cheaper than the ones advertising android 9. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001090563068.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.398a4c4dP5ASrt
Ideally I would like to downgrade to either the Malaysk or Hal9k_ pie roms until a cleanded and optimized android 10 rom is released.

That's basically the same recipe for rooting PX* on Android 9, but crappier implemented (overwrites stuff without creating a backup first). It is no tool, it is just some adb commands gobbled together in a DOS/Windows batch-file, accompanied by Windows-adb-binaries and an arm64 su-binary. Nothing I need. Nothing I don't already have. The su-binary is even identical to the one shipped with the rooting-package for Android 9. The one thing I do need is missing: superuser.apk that actually works on Android 10. Or how does one manage root-access for apps afterwards? At least the guy claims his "package" works on Android 10, so that might be an indication that the su-binary is sane and sound, one thing I can scratch from the bucketlist to get root.
Really weird mix of stuff. No idea if the guy is trustworthy, but mixing the adb-binaries in looks... weird.

Figure what out? And at least for me, I don't hunt for cheap, I hunt for good support. That's why I payed almost 400€ for a PX6 device, just to get better support.

Same here. I asked the seller if he can provide an Android 9 firmware for my device and I am sure he will provide it. Then I can see if I go Malaysk again or stay stock for the moment.
Hello. I own Ownice Android 10, MTCP-OLS-PX6. After all, isn't there a valid rooting method so far?
I have the MTK6889 Note 30 Plus it has a 10 core Processor 1440x1340 graphics 512 gigs storage and 12 gigs of ram dual sim cards micro sd card add on sounds Great Huh? well in there lies the problem it says it comes with android 10 pre installed and it does a custom version of it android 10 and lollyPop 4.1 so what i want to know is can i wipe this phone which is an unlocked phone and install android 11 on it and have a somewhat decent phone because right now it sucks and it even has a 48 mp rear camra and i believe the front is like 13 i really like the phone but because of the way they set it up it does not work right at all like it tells me im running out of storage space when there is over 500 gigs blank and i cant have updated programs because it wont download them saying not compatable its crazy.
Never heard that an Android phone comes with with 2 Android versions installed - as you say Android 4.1 & Android 10 - unless it would be a dual-boot phone.
No its not a dual boot phone but it does have a custom built android 10 whom ever built the phone must have had some things that her or she liked from 4.4.1 lolypop i was going through a bunch of the files and aplications last night and it has lollypops UI or something i just want a normal phone that works with android 10 or 11 i mean this phone has some great properties about it just not the Operating system can you help me set it up better?

Hi FrankL5862,
I'm familiar with the issue, also got a bricked "Note30 Plus" and an also Chinese clone of "S21 Plus 5G".
The Android OS is made into a custom ROM of Lollipop 5.1.1 thats the base Android OS. While they say it's
a Android OS 10 or 11 version they also cheated about the other specifications... You can easely check it with
"Droid Hardware Info" or "Device Info HW" both apps are available as APK-file or in the Google Playstore.
So basicly the smartphone is fake cause of the specs... But it is nice to play around with it and use it to get
more of the control of MediaTek based machine
Can maybe anyone get for me the firmware for the "Maimeite Note30 Plus MT6572" and for the "S21 Plus 5G MT6580"? Haven't found them yet...

did u ever get an answer to this question
Hi
My first time here.
I've seen there is a forum specifically for this buy I'm not sure if my question should go there or here.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries
I have a Samsung J500FN with Android 6.0.1 and I'm looking for a custom ROM that can make it last a bit longer. Here are my requirements.
I don't want to root it as that will probably not allow me to use my banking app.
I need a ROM that does not have, or allows me to remove, all the bloat that comes from factory: word, excel, weather, powerpoint, chrome, facebook, samsung's internet, etc.
I've seen that some of the available ROMs come with Android 8, 9 and even 10 but I suspect these OSs take up a lot more space. If that is so I don't want them as my mobile only has 8 GB and I don't want to have to spend my days deleting cache, memory and apps.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Eduardo

chill bro,
1) for banking app like sbi uno and other use magisk. its open source and works well to hide root.
2) android 7 would be great for you because samsung switched to art in it and is a lot faster smooth and consume less space and is supported by most apps.
3) i know the pain of having 8gb rom so, try to use opera mini instated of chrome and try to optimise system by removing unnecessary software using root+magisk.
4) android 9 is also good. just flash try and see if its what you need.
thanks hit like if i helped.
@Eduardo de Juan
IMHO LineageOS is the right choice for you.
How To Install Lineage OS 17.1 for Samsung Galaxy J (Android 10 Q)
Now you can install Lineage OS 17.1 on Samsung Galaxy J which is stable enough to use as a daily driver. Finally, Android 10 Q is official

I would like to try Android 7 if it's lighter then Android 6 but I prefer not to have root.
I've been reading that ING app doesn't work with magisk so I prefer not to struggle there.
Why doesn't my phone automatically update to Android 7, doesn't Samsung provide for this?
Where can I download a Android 7 ROM ?

Do you think that even if it's Android 10 it will be lighter than my present Android 6?
As I mentioned I don't want to root. I see that the link you included has a GAPPs installation so I guess the Lineage ROM comes without those.
I use OpenSuse linux so I would like to install from there, any problems?
Otherwise can I do it from a Windows 7 virtual machine?
BR
It really doesn't matter whether it's Android 10 or Android 6 or whatever version what is running. As with any Android for each app a predefined heap size ( the maximum amount of RAM the app can allocate ) exists which is passed through configuration properties inside Android's build.prop file. Usually, heap size is relative to the RAM size of the Android device. So, an Android device with 1 GB of RAM will normally have a heap size of 128 MB and a device with 2+ GB RAM a heap size of 256 MB.
Assuming Android OS itself is eating 500 MB RAM to properly run, then on your phone can - at maximum - run up to 30 apps using 256 MB ( large-heap-size ) simultaneously.

Thanks for your reply.
What I meant by lighter refers to the scarce 8 Gb on my device, not the RAM. With only 8 Gb there is a very low limit to the amount of apps I can install. Maybe with Lineage there is more of those 8 Gb free.
And that takes me to the Gapps packages. When reading the link for Gapps it offers various packages and I'm a bit lost as to which I should download.
Open Gapps for LineageOS 17.1 GSI build: Download
Open Gapps for Android 10
ARM: Download Open Gapps 10 ARM Zip
ARM64: Download Open Gapps 10 ARM64 Zip
BiTGApps for Android 10 Custom ROM | Link
GApps for LineageOS 17 | Link

I've downloaded the Lineage ROM file and have a doubt about the name of the file and whether it's valid for my model. The name of the file is
lineage-17.1-20201213-UNOFFICIAL-js01lte.zip
What worries me is the "...js01lte" part.
My mobile is SM-J500FN, also "j5nlte"
BR
ok, I think I'm almost ready to flash my first ever custom rom.
I've been reading to understand what I'm getting into.
One doubt. It seems that TWRP is capable of installing the custom rom without me telling it what partition it should be flashed to.
My question, if I want to flash a Samsung stock ROM can I also use TWRP or must I use Odin or Heimdall and flash it to the appropriate partition?
BR, Eduardo
Before I proceed
Installation instructions state "Then, select the System, Vendor, Data, and the Cache partition and perform a right swipe to format the selected partitions."
My device doesn't show the vendor partition.
Is it ok to proceed ?

Still insstalling? I think lineageOS is not the right solution for you. I got the same phone and made it work by disabling bloatware.
Hi Kurtin
from what I've learnt until now disabling bloatware doesn't free up any space, it just doesn't show but it's still there.
You need to see the partitions separately. The stock version of each app is stored in system partition. That is no problem. You can't use free space in system partition.
Our problem is data partition. Each enabled app will try to store it's data and updates in data partition. That makes the device unusable.
I think I understand what you mean and therefore installing a different ROM won't help unless it changes the partition setup.
Thanks for your support.

Installing a different ROM will help. Custom ROMs usually have less bloatware that occupies data partition for updates.
Same effect as disabling apps in stock ROM.
Hi
our exchange started when you stated "I think lineageOS is not the right solution for you. I got the same phone and made it work by disabling bloatware."
Can you propose a better custom ROM that addresses our needs or didn't you explore that track?

LineageOS 17.1 should be OK.
