I know this is developement section and i should not post like this but i want to tell that whenever i open this developement section i see some new froyo custom roms or rom upgrades with several new features , nothing more. I think it is enough creating roms like v1.0 then v1.1 then v1.2 then v1.3 and so on. Galaxy 5 uses enjoying cyanogen but we can't. All devs are in the race for providing better froyo roms but no on one wants to provide cyanogen, why? because it is not possible. If port of cyanogen is possible in g5 then not in g3. G3 is better phone then G5. Shall we have to satisfied only with froyo roms? All devs are giving their best but it is enough creating new version of froyo in every week, do something new, port CYANOGEN which we really wants.I don't know anything about programming, coding, i can't do anything but all u devs are able to port cyanogen to our device. So please stop doing like v1.0=>v1.1=>v1.2=>v1.3 and do Cyanogen.All devs please combilne at one place and give us CYANOGEN.
Cyanogen can be ported to our phone. I have no idea how can i do this, i may give it a try in summer but i will fail, it is sure. But i will start to learn coding, & kernel compiling (the basics).
Maybe a few of the devs come together, make a team and then work on this
m ready to learn and try
you are right but seriously its not EASY! you should have very good programming skills... and why is CM so good anyway? i would prefer MIUI port. when you say cyanogen mod i assume you mean the latest GB version? what is so great in GB anyway? i mean yeah its newer than froyo but still, i have my own tablet and it runs 2.3 (3.0 is coming ) and i dont think its that great... i like the edge glow and on/off animation but thats it. we CAN have the same features on froyo! and besides IF we would port GB it would take so much time that android 2.5 would be out already and then everybody would say that GB sucks... thats all
It's a lot lot of work to do it.

Hey, like u modify kernel with coding, cant we modify the ROM from the source files??not for cyanogen but to improve froyo better??

In fact, you must start from source files as you must compile all. No ?
In example, for gingerbread, I started compiling it from google source, but I'm stuck with libaudio library.
I took libaudio source code from sgs and I will see if I can compile them and continue.
In addition, you should adapt kernel 2.6.35 for the apollo device, and that's a big work too.
Or if we are lucky, kernel 2.6.32 could work ... I don't know.
I know it is not easy but please devs do something. If porting once started we will defenetily get Cyanogen.
The thing is cyanogen takes alot of time and there's no encouragement so I say whoever devs GB then I will donate £10 to them and I know many others will.

The best thing wat I feel is stopping any further froyo roms n start porting cm/miui/gb same as v0.1 > v0.2 releasing small mods I think everyone here will help testing them....i dont mind even my phone explodes...i have no idea how u techie guys do all this things all I know is flash watever u guys release n test it so we can make a better g3...

well do that as soon as the guy who already did that will release his mod
We shall ask motafoca for help, he does not have a sg3 but has a lot of knowledge and experience porting Gingerbread to sg5!
Once we have some clue or knowledge on how to start with we then can try/experiment ways to accomplish CyanogenMod.
Some proof for Sg5 having 2.3>here
As for people who want to port GB or Cyanogen flores said in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13132913&postcount=51 that he has already done work on gingerbread so i guess devs like apollo or other people who have experience in the kernel front can have something to work upon....... what i mean is there are a few devs who have mentioned about their incomplete works on Cyanogen/gingerbread, if an experienced developer can combine all their individual work we can have something actually working........

ok first of all dont take flores too seriously... he just talks too much and never does anything so i doupt that he has done anything more than looked at GB and said he can port it... i have asked about his project and quess what? nothing.
True is that we have too many custom roms, but changes only name and theme. We can customize everything in froyo rom, but we need to have some1 who can customize kernel! We have one kernel by our hero marcel and thats all! His kernel is used by every rom here. Always same:
New custom rom!
Same features as another rom
Thanks to marcellube for his kernel
We dont need gb, we dont need cm7
But
We need MORE KERNELS!!!

question for all! how can you ask for cyanogen if you wont help anyone? i have asked for people who know java (i know there are people who knows java) but nobody hasnt commented on my thread we could do it but nobody wants to help... all we need is some guys who knows java programming... so is there ANYONE? if there is contact me on this thread or my other thread in general section....

i totally agree! more kernels with different features like on sgs forums... we have already lost one great kernel developer gsam101 who developed the first custom and best kernels for us
Hi all,
I am so excited now, can't wait to tell all you guys that news
Maybe someone know that I have upgraded our kernel to the newest kernel tree from nvidia's git and waiting for it to be stable for daily use. However, I found it can't boot in the newest ACER's stock ROM yesterday. After one full day hack, it finally can boot in the stock ROM now.
However, the last function I can't confirm is HDMI support, so I want some volunteers to test HDMI support and the stability. If you use vache's Taboonay 0.9.x and are interested in it, please PM me
Thanks
I can test the stability, but not the HDMI output.
P.S : Nice to see you here roggin
I can test hdmi, only 720p, but at least I can verify that.

Nvidia's kernel is the ORIGINAL kernel, all others base their continued work on, so Acer use these updates as reference..
Can you check up on the bluetooth issue on this kernel you make..
I know tiamat/xoom kernel is really close to stock nvidia kernel too (or fully supported with drivers). so maybe something dirty needs changing..
havent had chance to fix..
problem for now, seems to be it can scan, but seems to timeout on transmitting, so it suddenly cannot see new units after some minutes. maybe worth doublechecking.

If they know how to compile it, then I guess they can enjoy their brick
Just be careful not releasing the source code, as it is under a open licence. I'm pretty sure that's why thor2002ro's kernel thread was deleted by moderators off fo this forum. I don't want to see another Kernel development go south because it wasn't public .

I think the usage of ramdisk should be optional, because it might not allow to encrypt your device, and as you hopefully know, encryption is necessary to allow exchange activesync connection for email push, except if somebody finds out a what has to be modified to use activesync without encryption.
I also join ShadowXVII concerning the kernel source, if somebody wants to brick his device, it's up to him, but be carefull not to get removed because you did not publish the source.
otherwise well done my friend.

You only have to publicly release the source if you publicly release the binary - he's only obliged to give the source to the people he gave the binary to. So there's no problems
On that note: I've just flashed Taboonay and am happy to give your kernel a try. I don't have a dev environment set up these days, but if you can send me the boot.img I'll take a crack at it.

Cool, thanks for the clarification. Just being cautious as I'd prefer Kernel development wasn't hindered at all. That being said, a public source may promote development as opposed to ending up with several different kernels by different developers. I'm all for collaboration, and it's great to see some within this thread
On a side note, any Kernel developers that may be able to shed some light onto this thread would be appreciated -- in particular, the kernel requirements for networking over USB; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15452414#post15452414
Hi all,
It's not I don't want to release it. It's almost 300+ patches between older and newer version, and include some regulator voltage patch. I want to sure not damage any part in all functions.
Give me one more days, when I collect all necessary response from tester, I will release it
Thanks
I did exactly the same on the tiamat kernel, waited and hoped to had time debugging the bluetooth issue, but got modarator complaints on not publicing any source
anyways, as long as no binary appear in this thread, i think you're safe from any mods attacking you on GPL issues (or do like thor200ro move it offsite, if you feel like breaking GPL)
Talk is just talk for now, no mods can argue against that for now..
My friend owns an samsung galaxy tab 4 t-230 and would love to upgrade it into a more pure android. Since i kind of got into android ROMs and there are no AOSP or CM roms for the tab 4 t-230 this would be a great chance for me to build a AOSP or CM rom. I have ubuntu 14.10 and a decent enough pc with 16 gb of ram and an i7. If anyone could help me abit of how to build a AOSP or CM rom for the device i would be verry thankfull.
----------------------Edit-----------------------
I wanted to say thank to you guys! I did quite some progress by now. If you own a t230 / nu then feel free to check out my custom kernel

Relevant post - some starting info, and check out the CM wiki he links to. Also, and this is a very basic step, but if you've never done this before it can be informative: download a rom zip file (preferably but not necessarily a stock-based kitkat rom for this device) and open it up in either 7zip or WinRar, check out the layout and structure, and familiarize yourself with the updater-script. (Actually you can do that with a firmware tar file too). Sorry I can't give you any more useful info, not a dev, definitely not a rom designer, just a guy who knows a fair amount of android stuff.
Also don't let the tone of that post discourage you; the poster was answering a guy who was basically asking about the feasibility of building a brand new rom for the sole purpose of being able to use one particular proprietary Samsung app. Yes it is difficult, but still doable, and you say you're motivated...
Yes i did forgot to say that any links for learning are appriciated
Well.. I would ask moonbutt74 for more info regarding commands and such, probably more info than I can give but.. keep in mind your going to have to download about 20+GB of source code and all that. Also a bunch more knowledge of more things I don't remember. But it is alot

How complicated is it to slim down the builds as much as possible?
I don't see needing all the extra TouchWiz crap that this device barely supports and had survived using Link2SD for storage. Something stable supporting at least basic apps is all I need, and most of those (Gmail, Chrome, etc) are now available from play store.

I just found all device tree specific blobs and all that. Can start from there at least. Then once we get it booted and working then we can go for Android 8-10

Hi, my advice is starting by taking sources from other variants (you can find them in GitHub S3NEO organization) and editing sources by starting from that base. For the kernel, it shouldn't be difficult to make a defconfig by always looking in matisse and millet ones. I advice you to start from Android 9 (lineage-16.0 branches) since they are the most stable. If you are really interested to work, you can write me in Telegram (same username as xda profile) and I can write you something more about what you should do.
Android 8, 9 or 10 will be nice, but right now I will be happy with Android 5. Are there any ROMs for degas higher than 4.4.4?
Are there any true Android 5 or Android 7 ROMs for this device?

For now most of the ROMs out there are based on touchwiz so they are 4.4 with themes. I hope devs can build proper Android 8+ ROM for our good old buddy

We can't because degas has different SoC and nobody of the devs have this device. So, we can't do anything.

Yeah that Marvell CPU and Vivante GPU is a real headache I guess. Why Samsung put them in it lol Maybe one day (when NewPipe stops fully working on my Tab 4) I'll grab a new Tab (probably S series this time).

I have given up on porting brand new Android versions (for now) and right now I have Android 5 running. Quite unstable at the moment.

I ask developers to make Android 5 + ROM on Degas, because there are many apps in China that can't run on Android 4.4. Sorry, my English

That problem is not only for China dude. That's why most of the people (incl. me) want newer Android to our loved Degas
Because Android development for this tablet seem to be DEAD I started to wonder if I could install Windows 10? I bumped to this thing claiming it can install WIndows to any android tablet but I'm yet to try it out...
