Hi,
I know a fair bit about linux and programming and got an i9500 in India.
There seem to be a lot of (legitimate) hate among developers regarding the Exynos5 due to open sourcing problems by Samsung.
My main question is that there are various kernels such as Wanham and Perseus for the i9500, can't the ROMs be built from those.
Is there a noob friendly guide so that one can understand that. I searched, but didn't find anything. Will be great if someone can point me in the right direction. I am sure I am missing a lot of info and want to help in any way I can in making the i9500 ROM.
Thanks in advance guys. I had the CM10.1 on my i9300 before this phone and die everyday I have to use TW.

i would like to know the answer to this as well!

Im trying to find info or better yet a tutorial on how to mainly "port" android, say from a CM nightly over to HD2. I have a bit of experience with coding older motorola phones, so I believe I have the capabilities of learning such a process.
I have read the threads about linux on HD2, and read up on the links that are in it. thats mainly about kernals. nothing about taking an already developed android ROM and making it work w/HD2.
Is there any info that I can read up on, or if anyone wants to give me some info it would be greatly appreciated.
Devs dont really look in the general section do they?
Dear Friend Thank you for lookinf into my question.
I have an HD2 from sometime now and thanks to the dev's on XDA for android and windows i am able to continue using my phone and liking it everyday
My question is: since i am set that android is better than winmo at least for me and i am using it permanently. If i buy an android phone LIKE Desire HD or Desire, will i be able to change the roms like my touch 4G or any other rom build.
or i will be bound to specific roms and themes for it.
i like to test everything i could and enjoy trying new systems, which i am doing now on my HTC HD2. But even with the stability of android roms nowadays i think the performance will be better if it is a native android phone.
Opinions are mostly appreciated
I'm no expert in either of those phones, but almost every Android phone has a pretty active dev'ing scene. It's not that much effort to switch roms on a native Android phone, but certainly more than with an HD2.
The variety of roms will also be less I think, coming from an HTC magic the abundance of choice here quite shocked me.
You can find the answer to this exciting question, and more, by reading the forums for other phones.
Well i dont suppose .
All the HD2 build out here have custom kernels and other tweaks which have been modified according to its hardware and devices specification.
But you can surely port it to your device. MEaning you will have to modify and tweak the builds accordingly.
I aint sure though

Thanks for looking into the subject, but, i tried before asking and i could not get the proper answer for it, i found some things that was not clear to me maybe since i am not a user for that specific device. Thats why i asked, so that someone who has enough knowledge about it could help with the info.
Thanks for your effort.

Thanks for the info, i think you might be right about the kernels and required mods. that did shed a little light about the answer.
Thanks again for your effort

Read and ask in these forums...
Desire - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=594
Desire HD - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=754
You're asking in the HD2 forum if there are ROMs available for other phones? Sorry, but that's just a waste of everyone's time (yours in particular!) Go to the relevant forums and do lots of reading in them before asking any questions, but ask them in THE RIGHT PLACE.
Oh yeah...
Thanks for your effort.
Hi.
Ok, so I know you guys at xda HATES threads like this, but please hear me out. At least I think I posted it in the right section
I have been searching for days (I promise, so either I'm slightly retarded, or there really is nothing to help me), both google and xda, about different ways to get DT2W on my n9005 Note 3. I'm running CM12 nightlies, and am very happy with it. But I need this, my Home button is broken, and the Power button is well on it's way to break too, and it's a hassle to push it anyways.
I've come up with two solutions:
1: An app called Knockr. It seems to work, somewhat, but after a while I found it to be REALLY buggy. So, uninstalled. Option 1 is no longer a viable solution.
2: Change to a kernel with DT2W support.
Now, I have never flashed a kernel before, but this is what I've figured out:
First, make a backup of boot.img
Done.
Secondly, find a kernel that supports your device AND rom. They are different for TW and AOSP. And different for each device (well, some support multiple devices).
Not found.
I simply CAN'T find a kernel for AOSP roms for the Note 3. I found ONE, it was called "LeanKernel", but it was very simplistic in the way that it was the bare raw of necessities, to prolong battery life and such, no extra features.
So here is my question, and just.. please don't ask me to search more and learn about kernels, I am sick of google right now, and my GF is harassing me about using WAY to much time on this problem.
Are there any other kernels for CM12, n9005? With support for Double Tap 2 Wake? I see there are some for TW based roms, so it should be possible for AOSP as well, right? Please pretty please?
Just a straight answer, or a link to some kernels? Just.. something..
I've tagged this thread as best as I could, and made the topic as informative and specific as I could, in hope that others like me, will easily find it when searching. So.. Yeah... Think about the children, the newbs and the wannabees.. Help us out. Post some good info if you got it
Thanks in advance.
BUMP
Damn I need to find an actual AOSP kernel too...I'm doing some searches but can't find anything...let me know if you find one plz!
Hello dear, I have a galaxy note 4 which is an N910u (exynos). I know that CyanogenMod does not support this s**t. Also, I miss the old days with my CM 11 s3 LTE. Therefore, I want to contribute to the work in bringing CM into Exynos. However, I am NOT a well educated developer or even a developer. I googled many pieces of information, I found that there are just too much. I can hard to related them all into a single system. So I got some questions in starting my journey. I will be glad if you can help me. Thank you.
1. Apart form git, what should I learn in order to start my journey?
2. I am wondering if a person (LIke me, not even a developer) can look into Exynos Chipsets. Or should I leave this out?
3. I can't relate the role of Kernel, Baseband, Recovery, boatload and Rom in a phone. Even if I have googled what they are, I still haven't got the idea of them. Could someone please help me explain them in a simpler way?
I will keep this post updated.
Hello? Anybody here?
CM is available for the Note 4 Exynos: CLICK
It's still a WIP though.
There's so many different ROM's and Kernels and whatnot I'm lost.
I have an untouched 4.4.2 SM-N9005 and I want to get a Note 5 ROM or something new and flashy.
I want to keep the stylus functionality and a new camera would be neat too.
Could someone give me a quick rundown of what I need to do? (Root method? Bootloaders? Kernels? Which ROM? Patches? Xposed?)
Sorry, I'm so lost.
PS. I don't care about knox.
Would be better if you ask, if somebody can come to your place and flash your phone for you.
What you're asking for, is really the minimum basic knowledge you should have to flash your device.
And if you didn't get it from the numerous explanations and tutorials on the Web, will you get it now ?
I'm sure, someone will spoon feed you with the information, but will you then manage not to brick your device ?
You have some serious reading to do to catch up.
Good luck.
Actually as you can see I've been a member here for many many years and have rooted many phones and mod all kinds of electronics as well as many many other things.
It's not a matter of not knowing or bothering to do the research it's simply a matter of not having time at the moment. I have so many other things taking up my time I just thought someone could save me and anyone else who has been waiting for a good rom some time with a brief rundown on what they've found is best.
I'd love to try out all the different recoveries, roms, kernels et all but like I said, no time.
Android Development Darklord port .
Sorry no time for further .
Thank you that's the one I'd been watching but it's been on 2.1 for a fair while, perhaps with camera issues (op says so but people in the 1000+ page thread seem to say it's fixed? ) and every second post seems to mention some new fix or kernel required. Also I noticed there are some other note 5 ports now.
