Hi
How can i run Firefox os on my Galaxy S GT-i9001? Im new to this ,can some guide me in the right direction? Is there allready an image available who runs on my gt-i9001? Ive seen GT-i9000 in the supported devices list, so it should work right? Is it possible to run Firefox os via tools like Multirom/Rom Manager or Rom Toolbox pro? I want a multiboot system with firefox os.

I have an Alcatel OT 4010x, the Android version of OT Fire (I guess). Firefox OS should be able to run on my phone, right? If yes, can I request for a rom to flash in (and steps, if it's different from flashing an android rom)? Or maybe can someone please point me in the right direction? I have look around Firefox wiki page and XDA's Firefox OS page, but, it seems there's only a guide to port Firefox OS to other phones, can't find an OT Fire's rom anywhere.
Firefox OS needs Android ICS or higher
As far as I know, Firefox OS requires that you have Android ICS. XDA has some articles on how to install Firefox OS on specific devices such as HTC HD2, Samsung galaxy and Sony Xperia.

Isn't that like dual-boot or something? How about something like clean install or anything of sorts? Sorry if it's a noobish question, but, I don't really know about flashing a new OS, I only know about flashing roms of Androids.
I'm developing some apps for Firefox OS, but am currently limited to doing so on the Firefox OS Simulator. I'd like to flash Firefox OS onto a real device, but I own none of the supported devices, and of some of them I can't even find a single mention anywhere on the internet with the exception of the wiki.
Now I have this very slow Cherry Mobility Android JB (originally ICS) tablet lying around. Would there be any chance of getting Firefox OS running properly on this device, or is it a lost case? If I remember correctly, it has Linux 3.2 underneath it (the Android ROM which is currently on the tablet, I mean). Would I be able to extract the drivers from the Android ROM and use them with Firefox OS?
if you play around with the manifest xml files, you might have some success. You could have a look at the threads of the nexus (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924367) or samsung ports () to get a better idea of porting. You can also have a look at B2G, might help you out.
Hello all
I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device.
Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this
I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux
Hi I have a Samsung Tab 4 SM-T530 i am wanting to root this device. all tutorials i have seen require a windows based application like odin to root this.
I dont own windows os i have Linux Mint which is built on Ubuntu. how can i root my tab 4 from this os.
or are there any apps i can install on the tablet directly to give root.
any ideas and solutions would be helpful. i dont want to brick this tablet as i use it for many things.
Hi i have a samsung tab 4 10.1 SM-T530 am looking for android 6 CyanogenMod 13.0 all i can see is thsi post for CyanogenMod 14 https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/rom-slimrom-5-0-1-alpha-0-7-t2963906/page137
where is the old thread that was for 13.0 i know there was one because i saw it in this youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EU_HZ6mUWHM

I need to install an Android version that uses Dalvik/Java and not ART, any way this can be done? And/or "dual boot" your phone?
No. You can use an Android emulator on your PC, on the other hand. Buying an older phone like the G2 would make more sense to me.
Maybe, but dunno if the device drivers or chipset would support anything older. Who knows, you might be able to compile a CyanogenMod build based on KitKat or something.
As mentioned above, use an emulator or dual boot Android on PC. Check out the Android x86 project and the official Android emulator.
