How do i make a rom? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just found this tablet and have started using it!
Although old, it can run things smoothly.
My question is how do i make an oreo rom for it to bring new life in it??
I will have to make it or can i port it from other devices like Nexus 7?

For porting roms, u require a base rom and a port rom(u must have done some research, but still).. for oreo, its a clear no... I think this forum will be dead soon, you can try porting nougat... But it will be difficult as hell! Theres a lot of guides on xda just search for them... You could try king babasula's porting tool, once you have deodexed the roms. Btw, the most difficult thing is to port the boot.img, but its not impossible (gonna take a month or two, but still no guarantees)... Anyways we still have good nougat roms here... Known bugs cant be fixed without modifying the source but andi is gone, everyone is gone... Nothing can be done now, goodbye GTab2!

Ill post some more dumps soon, im just trying to recover my sh*t (request are welcome, ill see what I got and post if I have it)
I dont have all boot.img's, recovery.img's and so forth but what I get ill be sure to release:
Blur/system only
Pulse/system only
reserved! .......
Thanks man!
Just out of curiosity, when you have system images but not the boot images or recovery images... what can you do with the system images and what do they include i.e. apps, widgets, framework, etc? I'm thinking of learning on how to cook and develop roms. Unfortunately my degree is in networking, so I do have some learning to do.
THX!
good job,Drizzy!
waiting for your full blur ROM 4 G1!
yeah i need it !
Isint this useless for rom making without the boot.img? I'm no rom dev...but isin't it?
Any details on custom frameworks that Motorola uses, if any? I'd like to get my hands on the kernel source the Cliq uses as well.
sweeet. Cooking it now.
just curious but is this based off 1.6?

One tiny look at the build props would have told you that it's based on cupcake.

"should" not be since Blur is not a hero based rom. is still 1.5 based.
so technically, led's wifi and BT should work, but, it's from motorola.. so...
gonna have to wait till someone brings it to life

let them cook the rom before you start asking questions like that.
I'd think a ROM based from a Motorola phone would be even less compatible than Hero..
Anyway, I'd rather have a Blur/AOSP mix rather than a Blur/Hero mix.

MIUI ROM port. Major progress! Calling all devs!

Hi everyone! We are currently in the middle of porting the MIUI ROM to our mdpi devices (g1, hero, magic).
We have successfully ported ALL of the pngs in all of the apks to be compatible with our devices. This was a huge undertaking and it was keeping a lot of devs from wanting to get involved. Now that this big "hinderance" is out of the way, I'm hoping some talented devs will be willing to get involved.
I have posted all the semi-ported apks (by semi-ported, I mean the images are all mdpi now) in a zip file that can be downloaded by any devs who are willing to help get the MIUI rom ported to our devices. If you'd like to download the MIUI mdpi apks, you can visit our thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858935
I don't have any dev skills, so I can't help beyond what I've already done. It is officially now in the hands of the community to take the next necessary steps to a full MIUI port. I hope that our two groups (hero and g1) can cooperate in making this happen!
That is my reason for posting here.
Hope we can get this thing working!

Question is how are you gonna get it to boot on our arm6 ? with out GPU and all ><
Could you please post a video on YOUTUBE showing how you flashed SPL 1.33.0013d SPL and 2.22.28.25 Radio. It might be very simple for you but for many noobies and mid-level flashers ,its quite troublesome. The links and everything else is there on the web but flashing in fastboot has been challenging. Flashing through rom manager has not worked after several tries. Kindly help in anyway you can. Thanks in advance. My email is [email protected].............

what do you mean? they( official android developers ) say gingerbread should run faster than a phone running froyo
plus hes actually going to start on it pretty soon according to some tweets...
but ontopic a port miui would be pretty cool to mess around with.
The majority of APKs don't work
I really want a MIUI port :|

Not sure thats why, i think its mostly lack of will Lox already submited the Hero code for instance. For dream/sapphire wouldn't be much harder, either way, it dosen't matter all that much, we will have builds based on the AOSP code.
So I take it this has been forgotten and moved beyond? MIUI would be really nice... /sigh
any devs working on this.. can someone explain to me if this is possible or not and why?

[PORT][ROM]LeWa Rom (extremely early alpha, further development done by EminSG)

This is just a quick 30 minutes port, i saw a tutorial on how to port LeWa to CM7, but it failed actually so i screwed a bit around with the files and got it booting, I'm not gonna continue any development on this rom, so don't ask me for anything, I have broodROM to take care of already XD
couldn't decide to take the ROM tag or the JOKE tag, since it actually runs i chose for the ROM tag
If you're really bored atm this might be fun to test, else don't even waste your time on it , I actually did no effort at all to make it bugfree, just wanted to get it running
What is not working, almost everything that is needed for daily use
To get past the lockscreen you need to press the home key and then tap menu and back a few times, only this way you will unfreeze the screen. So this is just a fun test, since it sucks so hard to actually use as rom (because of all the bugs, not the rom itself)
Installation:
1. install arco's recovery
2. install the zip in recovery
3. wipe /data and /cache and boot
if you want some laughter you could hold logcat next to it, the errors list is humongous.

I think this LeWa ROM could be a good port, it's has a nice MIUI like design and is extremely lite,
I got it booting pretty easily, so I think a actual port could be made, just like MIUI but of course with the known bugs of CM7!
I'm starting to hate the fact that the i9001 doesn't even have proper AOSP support more and more, If broodROM would be built on AOSP it would be ****ing great , samsung really screwed up their baseroms (if you only look at rom size and ram usage)
Well, Happy and Lucky developing!

Hi :) T-Mobile gave me this phone for free.

Hi guys im new to XDA but not new to Android development i used to have Cricket service (which sucked) and signed with T-Mobile and got this phone for free After spending all week reading all these threads i can say im one of the lucky ones since i got the good chip and good screen and rooted my phone and im running Sysnthetic_Aospx great rom btw. Any other good roms that i should try? Anywho im rooted and this isnt another "which rom is better" im actually a developer and i want to get my hands dirty and try and compile kernels any guides out there for me to start compiling and building my kernel environment?
I know my way around developing roms and wanted to know what developers develop for this device im willing to give you guys a hand if u need it or just be a tester.
Btw my name is Mr. Iffy ill try to help when i can hopefully one of the devs can help me with an Ice cream kernel to develop for this device. If someone can also tell me what devs are here i only see like 4 of them Synthetic and elginsk8r and awesome and cnote. Thanks guys hopefully i can be more of help around here.
Welcome! It's great to have another dev among us. Unfortunately, we have lost many of our devs to other devices, but a few talented ones remain. Hopefully you and the remaining devs will be able to bring a fully functional ICS Sense ROM to our little community.
Again, welcome!

Kernels are difficult, i dont really know enoguh to teach you but there are plenty of guides. It tooks me 3 hours to compile 10% of a kernel and the process failed due to one of the files. We should collarborate.

Android Kitchen Rom porting?

Hey Everybody,
Has anybody tried using Android Kitchen by dsixda to port roms to our device, the one sv?
According to the Kitchen's thread it was built for Htc devices....
I am new to porting and porting to htc devices seems much harder than porting to Samsung devices?!
I have tried using ViperSv.. It's horrible.. I mean it's really laggy .. I am currently using the stock rom with many Xposed mods.
What exactly do you expect it should do for you?
Porting other roms will need either very much resizing to resolution of SV or finding drivers/files that work with its hardware (in simple words).
In both cases the kitchen will not do the work for you.
I thought you left! Welcome Back
I thought porting is just copying kernel files/drivers and using a rom from a device with the same res. #noobinglikeaboss

Well, if it would be that easy....
I don't want to discourage you, but at least some basic knowledge is needed.
I tried to port Desire 500 dump, but it didn't even boot, so i think you need a good guide, to do that.
Awww.. Well I thought it would be easy since Cm gets ported instantly to every new device
