Hi,
I'm trying to get some understanding of the VZ version of this tab and what it would take to build a custom rom for it.
Been playing with custom roms going all the way back to a htc g1 so I'm pretty familiar with the processes involved from the user side of things.
First a couple clarifying questions specifically about the VZ tab, is this one called 6815 or is it a 6800/6810?
If it is a 6815 as I'm assuming has there hasn't been any custom rom work done up to now? I wasn't able to find any.
What would it take to get the CM team of one of the other ****-hot dev teams to develop for this tab? Is it simply a lack of access to the hardware?
If it is lack of hardware perhaps we could join together as a community and raise some funds to support the purchase of a dedicated dev tablet. Heck I might be willing to donate my own for a time.
Thanks for any ideas / answers.

Verizon SCH-i815 the 6800 and 6810 are for the rest of the world.
The Verizon version incorporates its 4G LTE and an infrared blaster.
I would also be happy to contribute to any development on this tablet. Love the thing, but I know the potential of it with development.
Hi guys,
I am planning to buy a Note 3 (I love big phones) and since my carrier doesn't offer windows phones I was wondering if I could replace the android OS for a WP8.1? I didn't find clear answer to that on the internet and no instructions at all. I wonder where I could find theses...
Thanks for the help!
Alex
No you didn't

If you want a Lumia, buy a Lumia. Bizzarre menus? Check. Limited appstore? Check. Difficulties syncing? Check.
Lumias by themselves ain't bad, they got some great cameras (the high-end ones), the low-end Lumias are better performers than the low-end Androids, I have to admit.
It has been done before, the HTC HD2 started as a Windows device, but Android has been ported for it and development is still going.
The Note 3, however, is not a device with too much development for it.
Either sell it and get a Lumia, or get used to it. Even if it's 2015, the Note 3 is one infernally powerful device, trust us on that.
So, I have decided to compile and get ubuntu running on our devices. I have the TMO Note 4.
If anyone has a donor device, or can give me some pointers I want to get all this running nicely.
No goal is unobtainable.
I will like to see this if we can get dual boot [emoji14]
and what about miui 6? there is recently released miui 6 patchrom. Do you know miui? I am asking you this because we are two and we want to port it but we have weak knowledge. Maybe you can help us
and this is how miui 6 look like
http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=34895&extra=page=1&page=1&mobile=no
and there are some of thousands official themes for miui

First of all i don`t think it`s nice of you to come in here and state there's no real custom roms out there for the Note 4, there's a lot of movement in the threads and developers work their butt off providing the latest and the best experience for the device. That said, let`s say i`m willing to give you a N910F donor device for development purpose, what have you got to show for it? Being a newbie ( at least your XDA account shows it ) there doesn`t seem much that shows anything worth to mention.
You sure this ain`t a cheap way of getting yourself a Note 4?

if you already have a TMO n4, why would you need a donor device?
and if dual boot works it's even easier to try it all
but porting Ubuntu does sound like a fun project, maybe you can use cm12 stuff to speed up the porting :fingers-crossed:
and i would love to help but i have no idea about porting and i'm already busy with n4 and s6 edge development
good luck though! :good:
My Apologies

My apologies, you are correct about custom roms. What I meant is we don't have MIUI, Firefox, etc. Yeah skinned versions of Android, yet some people like them.
I want to do something no one else has done, and bring something to the table.

I've only ever worked with twizz roms before but have now got a dedicated linux machine. I was trying to teach myself to compile from source but Ubuntu sounds very interesting and would love to be involved but not sure how much help I'd be

That's all I have now is my ubuntu laptop.
What I found out is ubuntu touch is based on cm10.1.
They don't have 3g/4g/let working for some systems.
I am reading about how to compile. Hensel why I need a donor device, just in case I super brick. Bricking out my only phine would suck.
I haven't figured out how to pm, so if anyone can talk to me like via Skype, and help me learn. PLEASE!

Why would I donate you a Note 4 to brick it? lol.
Sounds like a fun project according to me. Did not heard ubuntu ported since note 2.
But have not enough money to give away a note 4.
NOTE 4 running Ubuntu/Windows10
Ladies and Gentleman,
John here, I have spent at least 5 days trying to port windows 10 to the Note 4, (turns out its not possible) windows 10 requires secure boot and bypassing this is a pain in the ass, so I've given up.... it is 5/12/2017 and I've arrived very late to this thread but I got my note 4 out of the drawer and decided to turn it into a portable Linux pc, I spent 4 weeks porting Ubuntu to the note 2 in 2015 and dropped the project because there was many issues getting all the drivers to work but so far porting Ubuntu to the note 4 is working well but it needs quite a bit of glitches to be fixed, im trying to get the 4G gsm module to work and the sound but soon this will be working great and I will share my finished product.

If you are being serious, I have have a N910V and I am trying to get my name out in the dev world. I am willing to help you in your project and confident in my experience at recovering a bricked device enough to say that I would sacrifice my phone for this project. I am still new to compiling sources but with a little guidance I am sure I can help you.

I also have a N910T and am willing/would love to be a part of this and help get Ubuntu working on my Note 4. I will help in any way I can.. I have been searching for a port of Ubuntu for some time now so I was VERY excited when I saw your OP. I know this might sound odd but the main reason I wanted to run Ubuntu was for native development. In the same situation as @sawdoctor I have also been trying for about a year to compile a kernel but for some reason I just can't figure it out ha. I don't have my computer with me during the day but I have my phone and plenty of time so I was looking for a way to compile the kernel source with my device. And although I obviously don't know that much about development, I figured what better way to start that running Ubuntu. It's crazy to me i couldn't find one single guide or post about how to build a kernel with the phone you want to run it on. Seems like it should be easy ha. I have have tried termux, gnu-root, cc-tools, kbox3,........you name it and I have a TB of it ha. So all rambling aside, just let me know what or if you need anything

Your Help would be greatly appreciated, currently I'm working in the graphics, the note 4 has a high pixel sensitivity and the Items are very small, resizing things isn't working too well so I'm trying to figure out away to enlarge buttons and Icons

I don't suppose ubuntu has DPI optimizations like android does it?

Not at all, Ubuntu isn't sizing things properly and it's almost impossible to use the touchscreen to click buttons, can only be used with a mouse, just getting otg to work was a pain to plug in a mouse, there's some options In Ubuntu for resizing but they don't help that much.

Hmm. Well maybe resizing everything could be an acceptable approach but if windows and android have different "skins" maybe we could make a custom gnome launcher that works better with the small screen, but as far as the drivers and the kernel, is it stable, and what model have you compiled it for?

if you finished your project, i'd love to try it on my device.
Hey bro. Any progress? i just ran across a kde plasma active installer for nexus 7 that uses multirom to flash linux to ext sd. Would it maybe be possible to adapt the script to our device being that we have EFIDroid and Multisystem?
I've been working on porting Halium (needs for Ubuntu touch now) to my device, I haven't gotten the graphics to work yet but with the work I've got done so far we could get the graphics working then get other OSes that support Halium working (I.e. plasma os, sailfish, and possibly even post market os) if your still trying to get this working let me know and I'll contribute what I can to help, I still DD my n910p cause I like the form factor of my note 4, hate the glitchy issues that sprint forced into its software though. I have gotten Ubuntu to boot to a headless system setup, but that's not useful for what my end game is, its just a step in the right direction.
