Building AOKP roms from ground up tutorial?

Hello everyone,
My device is a galaxy tab 7 plus and we currently have a fully functional CM9 build working perfectly. I've been following a few guides on how to port AOKP to this device and non of the guides worked. I also read that cm9 and AOKP are one of the same. So if u get one to work the other should easily. But it doesn't seem to be working. So I figured maybe porting won't work. Maybe I have to build it from ground up. So are there any tutorials on how to do so? Or is there a way I can bring the RomControl menu to the current cm9 build?

you should double check the device can run AOKP, it may not even be supported. And building from the ground up is probably a little excessive

Well the devs in the galaxy tab 7 plus section ported cm9 and its working fine but there are only two devs and they both said they have no interest in making AOKP work on our device. The device shares the same hardware as the galaxy s2. I've compiled a couple of builds and mad a logcat and they all pointed at the audio drivers and some other problem. So far I couldn't get passed the boot screen... so I thought maybe I should stop trying to port but start trying to build. I mean I've seen so many devices that have lower specs then this device running aokp so I don't think specs are an issue here..

Vanir Rom for S3?

I did a quick search for this, but would anyone happen to know if someone is working / building port of the Vanir rom? I have it on my nexus devices and it is fast as hell...
Thanks!

No as the phone it is for has lower specs then the s3. As of now the following ROMs can be ported to the phone are s3 ROMs from other carriers and Note 2 ROMs. MIUI can also be ported to the phone. So far only one note 2 ROM has been ported to this device

If your looking for fast, try out the Hyperdrive ROM.

Wait, I'm confused. Vanir is an AOSP based Rom, so there shouldn't be that much other than adding in the stuff specific to the S3, right? The Vanir Rom (or at least what I know of it) is on the N7, N4 and the GNexus...
I guess I'm a bit confused.

Put it this way no one is planning to port it to the s3 if they were it would've been here by now.

Hm...I guess in that case: Do any of you guys know of any good guides for porting AOSP roms over? I tried following one way back when when I had a rezound and CM10 first came out but never got too deep in it. Figure it is worth a shot, I've got a Ubuntu VM waiting to go...

Before you do that you must seek the permission from the developers.

To port something over from github / source?
Now I'm officially confused.

We have best rom and kernel developers for stock base rom although they are cooking without the team. On my previous phone,S advance(I9070) they start CM from the scratch and now BOOM! Please someone expert kindly explains why we can't get CM. No sources?

Its been months now of waiting for a vanilla android to come out on n900...I hope there is a dev that can assist us with some AOSP

yeah and i have made up my mind not to buy international version of galaxy note series next time because of lack of CM Rom support or i'll shift to sony
used note 1 and note 2 neither of them had this problem
but this time samsung screwed us

+1
N900 only has 4-5 developers and this is disapointing

CM is available here and they also have an excellent wiki that explains how to build. I highly suggest giving it a try if you wish to have it.
However, posting requests and/or demands for a ROM in the development sections is inappropriate. This section is only for sharing something you've developed or are currently working on.

Custom Rom Deveopment for the Lenovo P2

Hello everyone, I got this device about two months ago and am going to start trying to port over some roms from the redmi note 4.
I'v noticed that ROM development has been very slow recently, and even though I'm still a student its the holidays and I want this device to have a better future.
Here is the discord server for the P2 development and general chat.
https://discord.gg/K28XqCU
These devices have similar specs, which is one of the main reasons why I am trying to port roms from the redmi note 4 and not some other device.
I'm going to study more about custom roms, and if I may not be successful in porting one all the p2 community should give it a go as well. Everyone seems to be asking for roms and not many people bother to build/compile them.
I'll post any I find working on here as I go, and if anyone has advice/suggestions I'd be happy to take them, being new to custom roms and all.
If you guys could inform me about other devices with same cpu, screen resolution and camera specs that'd be great.
Currently the base rom I'm working on is AOSP extended v5 and the port rom is lineage os 15. I'v managed to port the boot.img over so far.
If anyone is interested on carrying on or continuing, all files will be uploaded on mega. You'll need android kitchen and other basics to continue development.
Make sure you have a device with unlocked bootloader, twrp recovery and a nanodroid backup in case anything goes wrong.
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, ect but I will try to help.

Thanks,

Wish you a best of luck, just make it happen✌

Haha thanks. Any advice/ things I should watch out for?

With you mate
I too was thinking of porting from Redmi note 4.
Could you kindly share the methods of porting. I am a noob in custom ROM porting.
Also suggestions on which roms to be ported.

I'm currently attempting to port Lineage OS 15 from Redmi note 4, with base rom as AOSP Extended.
I'v ported the boot image over but can't find the "system" folder. If anyone would help with this it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
B50Corei5

Hopefully we can kick this thing off and get some other people involved, that way rom development for the p2 will speed up lots.
I myself am a "noob" at custom rom-ming, trying to follow youtube tutorials for porting roms. If anyone else with a bit more experience jumps on,
we should be able to get this finished quicker.

Let's do our best

Requesting help from experienced developers in finishing the ROM.
BTW are you using highwaystar's lineage os as base.

I'm probably messing up trying to port lineage os 15 while using AOSP extended v5.0 as base,
however you have to port roms that are the same os as your base.
You can't port a 8.0 rom with a 7.1.2 base.

Let's give a shot.
Don't expect for expert developer, because he/she can be already busy

Haha, thanks. I created a discord channel for it, link is all the way at start of thread.
Anyone willing to contribute can do so, I'll post updates on here as we go, don't expect
anything too soon though.

It is easy to get system dump and modify it cuz most of the files can be replaced easily by using the base rom.
Do you have any idea of creating update script and creating the final dat package? In my opinion this is the tough section i think.

Hmm. I just started developing roms so I'll look into it. It does look quite complicated. If you haven't already, go ahead and join the p2
development discord as it'll be easier to comunicate.

Custom ROM

Do you know of any custom ROM in the works? If not is it because the phone is not popular or not available in many regions? Or are the devs waiting for Android 11 to be released for the Zenfone 7?
I am pretty happy with this phone but have some regrets because it seems pretty dead on the xda forums.
One of the reasons I bought it was the good ROM support for the previous Zenfone 6. So I am a bit disappointed.
Or should I just be patient because development will pick up eventually?
Cheers.
I am coming from a galaxy note II and oneplus 3 and have been spoiled in regards to custom ROMs

Custom roms are being worked on, both Havoc and Omnirom....

Please, are the roms going to be for zenphone 7 or zenphone 7 pro?
I'm pretty sure one of these will be my next phone

Devs have ported AOSP to it and are working to make them as stable as possible before releasing! Most devs aren't very active on social media and stay quiet until release, though. I'm pretty sure that any custom ROMs will be compatible with both the ZF7 and 7 Pro.

Agreed.
Its a great device and yes the forums aren't very active, but there is some activity nonetheless and there WILL be a custom rom out soon. In the meantime just root and possibly even use Xposed for some tweaks

The differences between the 2 are minute, hardware wise.
So any roms will most likely work for both of them.
