Since ubuntu was just released today for the nexus 7, I was wondering if it was possible to dual boot this with a rom. They have stressed that it shouldn't really be a daily driver, but I want to try it out regardless. I have searched everywhere, but I cannot find the answer. Thanks for the help!

As the title says. I need the 2012 version. I've googled and googled and googled. I can't find this thing for the life of me. I found the mobile version, but not the fixed installation mode version. If anybody is still hosting it or has it laying around then please help me out. I would really appreciate it. I also would like the kernel too if possible.
Hi guys,
I have the fire 7 HDX 3rd gen. Great tablet but think it could easily run android Pie. I have built a few roms for my phones an am still learning how to build.
My question is before i expend a lot of wasted time trying to port Pie to the HDX is it even a possibility ? Obviously the device drivers and kernel will need to be updated.
I have a few ideas on the kernel perhaps use an updated kernel from a current Pie port from a device running Pie.
The drivers am not sure if they could be coaxed into running under Pie or if I'd need to also find updated drivers again from a Pie ported device.
Am I wasting my time even considering trying this ?
Any advice or feedback on this would be much appreciated so thanks in advance.

The resource most familiar with porting custom ROMs for HDX devices is still struggling with Oreo. Undocumented kernel and specialized device drivers are the biggest challenges. Me thinks you would have your hands full.

Thanks for your reply and giving me an honest assessment on this much appreciated. I had an idea it would not be an easy task or else someone maybe would have done it by now.
It is a shame this is unlikely to happen since I believe the hardware is more than capable of running pie. Hell many devices with lesser hardware are running pie so the HDX should have no problems doing so.
Ohh well I will just enjoy using my HDX as is.
Thanks again RemusW.
ps. sorry for the multiple postings.
Hello guys,
this is my first post. Since today I´m a proud owner of a Galaxy Tab A (SM-T510 with 64 GB ROM and 3GB RAM, newest stock android build T510XXU2ASK5, never connected to internet yet).
I want to install Nethunter OS or Kali Linux (if possible) on this and read many hours in the internet but there are some questions:
Has anyone flashed the SM-T510 with Nethunter OS? (if this isn´t possible, a way to just use the kali apps is fine too but not my first choice)
Is it possible to flash directly to the ROM instead to a SD Card?
Which type of processor has the tablet? I think it is amd64 not arm, right? Maybe I could try to flash a Nethunter Image for Galaxy Tab S4 but I´m sure this doesn´t work cause the processor is not exact the same... (https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/)
I found this thread about Kali Linux installation but I would find a direct installation better https://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/devices-kali-linux-installation-t3414523 (If I can´t install directly, can I use this guide for my device after I rooted it?)
A few years ago I flashed Android on a SD-Card for my HTC Kaiser 130 (still working fine), so I have a little experience about flashing and so on but flashing this tablet looks a little bit more difficult to me, so I want as much information as possible cause I have only one try (in the baddest scenario)
I hope you can help me.
Thanks for reading! (I´m from germany, so I´m sorry for my bad english)
Edit: I have found UserLAnd and will try it now, if someone has a better suggestion, feel free to post it
Where'd you get the idea that this was an AMD64 tablet? All Samsung Galaxy Tab As are ARM, The T510 has an Exynos 7904 or 7885 SoC. And I've never heard of anyone porting a Linux distro to one.

Thanks for your answer lewmur, I just read it is a 64bit proc and thought it is amd64, my last tablet is some years old and I just thinked the technical development is quicker... ^^
Hmm... sounds like bad news, I just googled yesterday and it is a Exynos 7904, yes you´re right. That means it is closed source, damn.
In this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-m30/help/hope-custom-rom-development-m30-exynos-t3910256) I found someone who maybe has kernel source, I will write him. Maybe where is a way to build a Nethunter image by myself. I have tested UserLAnd on the tab and I don´t really like it, it´s not smooth.
On monday I will go to the shop where I buyed the tab and try to give it back, maybe they have goodwill, then I will buy online a nexus tablet, looks much more easier.
Thank you anyway, maybe someone has some more good tipps for me.
I have downloaded this
nethunter-2021.3-generic-armhf-kalifs-full.zip
and flashed it with TWRP on my Rooted Device and it works on SM-T510 Android 11 StockROM
Hi, my wife give the other day an old lenovo b8000-f she had at her work. I't new with little use with use, but of course i can't be perfect i shas android 4.4.2, very old. I don't want to use it as a brand new modern tablet, but with android 4.4.2 i can use it for almost anything. Is there a rom to upgrade it, i already search and i can't find anything. I fanybody know some roms plese tell me.
Thank
Aloha, I looking for any ROM to update my Lenovo B8080-F as well, however, at the moment I couldn't find anything relative to this even on Google. I just found this to Install a Recovery TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-7-0-touch-recovery-t3282520
We appreciate if someone read this and got any idea where can we find a ROM to update our old tables.
Cheers!
Does anybody have a link to a custom ROM for a Lenovo B8000? Seen the instructions to install TWRP but don't see much point in doing that unless there's a ROM available.

I'm looking too. It seems such a shame to let an old decent tablet like this go to waste...
Hi, i recently found out that ubuntu has a version for phones. Is called ubuntu touch. Is there any possibility that any developer could port the halium kernel to this device? Im not an expert on porting things, so, if anyone could, it would be really great. i think it will give a bit more life to this phone
