Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (SGH-T599N) that I would like to repurpose and use for a type of iPod. My only issues are that it can only run upto Android Marshmallow (6.0) I am digging around in this community to try and find someone to build a more recent version of Twrp and an updated rom with most everything working. I am hoping this will be affordable. I am willing to give payment for this build of both Twrp and the Android OS if it is not possible to get at least 8.0 Oreo on it then I will take my sites elsewhere and use a different device. Thanks to all! Please let me know if you're interested.

Hi, have a Samsung M1 (GT-I6410) with LiMo on it...is there any possibility to mod it or to get apps without the vodavone store?
If there are any mods, please tell me
Yes, but there are none. I've only been able to install on my m1 some apps from the vodafone competition, originally destinated to h1 that i couldn't download from the app store.
I'm very disappointed with this OS. Some team is trying to port android in this phone, but so far...
I really need android on my M1,
Will be willing to beta etc, but i have no skills in the world of programming...
winter <3
still nothing?
Somebody have to port Android to this. Even i could do it if i knew how
Someone ported Android on Samsung H1.

H1 is a similar version of M1 but with a better camera.
Some people said H1 hardware is different, so try install this android rom is not useful.
I would be able to port android by myself but i'd need lot of tutorials on...
No one work on M1?
I'm not able on seeking drivers and on source code but there something to work on here:

I've tried to flash Android-port from H1, but Odin gave me ERROR.
LiMo is awful. Really slow and useless OS. It would be really great if anyone could port Android 2.3 to M1 i6410. Doesn't mather if it doesn't have Wifi.
Hello Developers,
I wanna try reviving the (made obsolete by Samsung) MyKnox App and for that i need a little help. I observed something after the Oreo upgrade of my S8 and i wanna analyze that to see if i can do something to simulate the MyKnox activation without the Samsung servers.
For that i need someone who still has a working installation of MyKnox on Android 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1 who can give me a backup of the apps (Apps only, not the data). If you need help on how to do that please contact me, or write in this thread. I hope i can find someone who still has them.
Bests,

I still have myknox running on S5neo sent u a direct message
Hi there,
I hope I'm posting in the right forum here, otherwise please accept my apology.
I'm new to building ROMs. Currently I'm playing with the HiMedia Q30, don't like their firmware and would like to replace it. At first with alternative ROMs, then with my own build.
I wanted to try SlimRoms, CopperheadOS and LineageOS, but it looks like they're optimized for phones. Even the Oreo builds from the Android website are for phones.
Questions:
1. Do the mentioned ROMs work on any device?
1.1 If so, why are they optimized for different models?
2. Can you recommend a ROM for TV boxes?
3. Is there any general Android (preferably 7+) build that works on any device?
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
AB
any luck with this yet?
I'm looking to buy a cheap, but still good Android phone, and the Exynos Galaxy S7 fits the bill, but there's one small issue.
There's no LineageOS 13 roms, but I looked around, and discovered this page https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/herolte/build
It says you can only build off of a CyanogenMod 14.1 build, but that's Android 7.1.x, not 6.0.1.
Is it possible for someone like me with no experience to create something like this that doesn't exist?
A lot is possible if you want to put in the time and effort. Not sure why you need Android 6 though. Stock firmware was updated through 8.

Just want to use the CyanogenMod Theme Engine
Maybe port the features you want and not an entire OS build? Sometimes it isn't that hard to make something compile in a similar environment.
3 years ago somebody downgraded somebody I met at the internet successful my Samsung J5 to Android 5.
Now I think about the possibility to downgrade my Samsung A7 (A750GN) to Android 4.
Would it be possible?
In know with such a questions a lot of people want to know why.
It's simple.
I love how 4 looks.
I could still enjoy 5 if I have too.
And Android is gone the same negative way like Microsoft with Windows 10.
Every new Android Version has more and more rubbish included I don't use and I don't want,
Today is (for me) my Android Version a overloaded fat elephant with so many bad functions I can't turn off.
I would like to have a "Android Lite" and I would like to have a Android that looks like 4 or 5.
But would it be possible?
I have never ever done something like this for myself.
That last time with my J5 somebody installed a remote control on my laptop and I plugged in my mobile and this guy has done everything remote controlled.
I have still to today no idea who he was and from where he was.
But it worked fine.
He downgraded my J5 to Android 5 and he changed something in such a way the mobile never ask for a update and when I try to force a update I get the wrong answer the newest update in installed.
Absolute great.
That is what I'm looking for with my A7.
Any ideas?
It is NOT possible to downgrade your A7 to android 5.
When a new phone comes out , for example the A7 2018 , it was launched with android 8.
It can not be downgraded to any version below the version it came out with.
Even after updating from android 8 to the latest android 10 , i don't think it is possible to even downgrade to android 8 again (because samsung updates, patch your phone with the new update.)
Galaxy J5 was released with android 5 touchwiz, the android 5 system customized by Samsung.
The person who was connected to your computer has installed a custom rom (probably an AOSP rom , as you described being a "lite version".)
AOSP roms are roms without the Samsung add-ons and customizations , created by developers here on XDA.
For the moment , an AOSP android 10 for A7 2018 is not available , but there is another way to get a "lite " version of android 10 on your device.
As it needs a lot of reading and understanding on android development, i do not sugges you doing so .
It is called GSI and you can find by reading in the correct thread , for example :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a7/help/how-to-install-gsi-samsung-galaxy-a7-t4165617
Please , be aware that you might brick your device if you decide to experiment with its system.
Hope this helps you.
