[CM DEVELOPMENT] Asus MeMO Pad ME172V

Today my wife got this device as a gift for Christmas. She asked me to look at it and set it up for her. After about an hour of research I was deeply disappointed by the fact that this device has no ROMs or Kernels and barely supports ROOT. The device is kind of slow for 2013 due to its one core 1GHz processor. But I am sure this issue would be fixed with optimizations from custom ROMs and Kernels. I myself am not an android developer but do some coding in the free time and worked on a few ports of sense for several devices. On this thread I would like to get as many developers possible with the Asus MeMO Pad to communicate and collaborate to develop a working port of CyanogenMod for the device. I will be happy to help anyone interested in this project by doing some work in the free time. I chose CyanogenMod as it is probably the easiest one to compile and is much simpler than its competitors. If we get a successful build of CM then we can move on to developing Kernels and more complex versions of Android. Keep in mind that this is not a request for any particular developer but just an invitation to collaborate and build a working ROM for this tablet. If you are interested in working with me on this project please PM me or comment down below. I will be glad to help as much as I can. Thank you to all of the developers that would be willing to participate in this project.

Im in
I did the AMPC app and mini rom (not a full rom but more mods collection)
How are you skills to decompile img ?? since the guy who did root before is no more...and we should start by doing root for latest FW.
and CWM is also very buggy (build using online kitchen)
Please feel free to PM me

I'd like to but I don't know android coding. I do some basic Java programming if that helps

Thank you for you reply also, as of right now I don't see our need for any Java coding, but maybe if we find a need for it I will message you. Thank you once again.

Hi! I'm the guy that made CWM for this tablet, as well as the one on whos idea the whole root thing is based I'm very glad that someone picked up work on this tablet and is trying to make it better, since I don't have the time and I've lost my patience since ASUS is refusing to co-operate as far as updates and source codes are concerned. You can always PM me with questions as well as all or any info you have and I'm also willing to test builds out. Thanks

Hiya @nerotNS, I'm currently new (a noob) at xda-developers forum but since I'm actually getting a memo pad what better way of installing cyanogenmod properly than asking for help. However I couldn't help but to find the source code, and I did. I'm currently still learning so the source code wouldn't be of help to me than it would to you. So that said, heres the source
==> support (dot) asus (dot) com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+MeMO+Pad&p=28&s=6
(remove spaces and replace '(dot)' with '.')

Hmm that's the kernel source code, we already have that Though it was in a bit of a strange format, plus I firmly believe that it's outdated as I think ASUS made some changes in the kernels via OTA. Thanks for your tip though,it's good to see that someone's trying to do with this pad

RE: CM Development
Hello, new guy here at XDA, I do not have any knowledge to Linux or Android programming yet I know how to flash and play with recoveries and such things. I am willing to be a tester for this project.

waiting for someone to port this into CM...

I Too Am Interested
I may be able to lend my tablet for the cause of testing. Just can't brick it.
It's my 7 year old daughter's, so no harm no foul.
I'll look for updates

It could be hard to port on cm, because the chipset is VIA and no similar device successfully ported with this chipset..

I'm gonna try building it with Docker. Is there still a chance of killing the device bootloader?
Btw I'm a total noob with custom roms so it may take a while + my PC is old

[IDEA]Tab 3 10.1 update

I'm a total noob in building kernels or Roms but I found something interesting.
1.The Acer Iconia One 7 B1-730HD has the same chipset like our Tab3 and maybe someone could find the kernel to port it over.
2.The Asus Fone Pad 7 ME175CG has Intel Atom Z2520 inside and I have got the kernel for this one. Is there a way to build something based on this ? ( www(.)asus(.)com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Fonepad_7_Dual_SIM_ME175CG/HelpDesk_Download/ )

You want CM based Custom ROM, right ?
You can check Angel_666 post here on Tab 3 forum.
The Intel Atom Z2560 is different from Intel Atom Atom Z2520.
CPUs frequencies are different (1200mhz vs 1600mhz) GPUs frequencies also different (300mhz vs 400mhz)
Asus bootloaders and Kernels won't work anyhow on Sammy target.
You need a GENIOUS to make such port.
The bad thing with Tab 3 is PowerVR GPU which won't work anyhow on CynogenMod or Android-X86 images.

May I ask you, what you are trying to do ?

I would recommend you work with the developer of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727771
He has built a custom 4.2.2 kernel for the 3.10 and should be able to get you started.

hey
doc, ua,
thanks, just tinkering, looking for clues, learning stuff
some things are device specific, some things not.
mostly i'm trying to find a way to override/bypass what seems to be a preference/flag in

[REQUEST] ROMS for Gigabyte phones

Hello Guys,
I recently bought a Gigabyte Gsmart Arty A3, its a very nice phone for the price.
Chipset Mediatek MT6582
CPU Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7
GPU Mali-400MP2
I just rooted it and have been looking around for a custom ROM to install but there aren't any available!!! anywhere!!!
incidently Gigabyte doesn't come up in the device search on this forum!
So please pay attention to Gigabyte as its a great company which makes great phones that too for cheap.
Anything, even AOSP ROMS will be great.:laugh:

Yep, that's a pretty cool device for being low-cost. But this is probably the wrong thread, to ask this. You can try to submit a request for a new device forum or use the low activity device forum and start a thread, getting yous hand dirty in the process...

Your biggest hurdle is that they almost never release kernel source for the device. So that best you can hope for are some alpha ported roms that may or may not work

You could but depending on Tue country the device comes from it might be pointless. Request it from the OEM..they will most likely say they don't have it as they just import and rebrand the device.

Ubuntu Touch porting - where to post?

Hello All,
I am trying to re-vive the Ubuntu Touch port for Galaxy S3. In which of the many areas of XDA this would be placed?
- Its no official or unofficial Android ROM
- its rather like Sailfish OS
How to name the thread correctly according to [ROM] etc flags?

The other problems I manage locally - but I want to start a discussion thread soon, since I am convinced to be able to push out a test build soon. I want to involve more people into this, thereby generating more possible solutions for problems.
In case you are interested, the phone boots already correctly, kernel is fine without errors, Android container starts also without errors. Ubuntu´s init/upstart is mounting all necessary partitions, and brings up most of the basic services. Currently stuck with GUI since mir/libhybris/unity8 cannot paint on framebuffer or hw composer

Bro.. I own a s3 at&t.. And would love to help out on testing ROMs. This task of yours seems promising.

Hi,
good to know. We just need to make sure AT&T version does not have too much difference from the international one. Can you dedicate it for testing? It does not need data to be wiped normally, since Ubuntu runs off a container in the data partition but you never know...
I am currently stuck with the GUI and tbh I have no idea when and how this will be resolved. Samsung has done a great job with their GPU and Exynos, but our libhybris part does not want to play with it nicely.
Keep you updated!
BR

Actually I use it as my DD but wouldn't mind testing a few ROMs for the gd of the comm.
Aiite then. Patiently waiting for the update.

I have the international version of S3 GT-i9300. It is currently without a working rom, so I need to find time to see if it will boot with an official rom flashed with odin, it currently has an old clockwork mod recovery installed and a lineage os rom that wont boot..
If I get it working again, then I could dedicate it to testing... I would love to have a phone that was pure linux with phone capabilities... then I would no longer need to use google's linux abomination known as android

Hi,
sorry to say but I stopped now every porting activity, since Canonical dropped Ubuntu Touch and we are struggling on all other frontlines to get the community together for continuing the OS.
There will be no new hardware ports in the near future, which I think will be up to 1 year or 2. By that time, also S-III etc are end of life, since its hard to support multiple generations of smartphones with different kernels properly. Im afraid we are too late...
Anyway, contact me if you want to help in other areas of Ubuntu Touch going UBports community

Update my phablet BQ Elcano2 (MT8393)

Hi everyone! This is my first post so..first of all I apologize for my grammar, I'm Spanish.
A few days ago I found at home a BQ phablet model Elcano 2 Quadcore. After charging and turning on the device I realized that it currently runs android 4.2.2. I managed to root my device so that I could update it to a more current version of android. The problem comes when I can't find any TWRP recovery or support on Lineage OS.
I have read that you can use the recovery of another device with the same specifications as mine but I have not found anything on the internet either.
Hope you can help me update my phablet. I don't need the latest version of android, by making my device useful I'm satisfied.
I downloaded the Aida64 application to know what processor I have:
MediaTek MT8389
4x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1508MHz
1Gb Ram
32Gb ROM
7inch
Thanks dudes
