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

Well I decided to revisit this thread. Never thought I would come so far. I really want to say thanks to all of you who supported me and still support me. Everyone has a beginning and here was mine. Now I am actually there where I really wanted to be. Releasing a custom kernel and finally work on a custom ROM! Thank you XDA!

I'm amazed on how much people learn and achieve as well as myself. I've seen people who were total newbies then later built custom recoveries, CM12, Mods, Roms etc. Anyway good luck on working your rom!

Also I thank you my life for introducing me to moonbutt74. He learned me everything from how to work with custom kernels to Roms. Sadly he decided to stop developing a few Werks ago but he's doing it for his own good. I still will mention @moonbutt74 on my future projects because he really is the one who changed me from confused to knowing what is actually going on. So thanks allot !

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.

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.

We shall ask motafoca for help, he does not have a sg3 but has a lot of knowledge and experience porting Gingerbread to sg5!

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!!!

First and foremost i wanna send my thanx and admiration to Crowds for his amazing work with this ROM. Everything he has done has been amazing.
I am hoping to continue the work that Ricardo has done and carry on the expantsion and updating of this rom.
But i am new.
This will be my first ROM.
So i am calling for your help. I need to know what i need to do.
-What proigrams are the best to use
-How has Crowds done this work so far? I know its a port of FXP and MIUI, with some ICS elements but which? Do i start with FXP then blend MIUI over it? If so which parts?
-Which version of FXP (7.2 or 9.0)?
-Which version of MIUI?
Basically i am starting from scratch with the whole ROM dev. I am fast learner, a fellow geek, and i want to do this right. Please bare with me because i may ask stupid questions at times. I just need help.
So far i have a few things to read up on and try out. For now im just going to be faffing around seeing what i can do. But my main objective is to update and upgrade the current ROM with the new versions of FXP and MIUI. Then once i am confident with it i have a few ideas of my own that i want to try.
So far i have these that im going to read up on. If yuou have anymore sugestions or and info for me....please send my it

The good combination will be MIUI\CM9, because its newest thing what we can get, but its gonna be hard to do, specially if you do not have any previous knowledge about porting, developing, so for now you can start with fxp CM7.2
First get stable ROM, then start with modification of same one,my suggestion.
cheers

Almost CM 9.0 FXP !
Because 7.2 is Old ,
You need New Source & New Design !
i get that cm9.0 is the new and best one. but obviously im new to all this.....so i wanna know which fxp crowds was using and just start my expedition by updating what he has done....i know fxp has released cm7.2 AND cm9.0 both with fxp106
As im new i wanna start by following the road set before me.
So far this rom is FXP052 and miui
but which miui? and is it already cm9.0 or is it just cm7.2? porting a whole new rom to the one will be a big peice of work and i am brand new to this
It's a great initiative and I really gotta add the importance of the RTL fix for Arabic & Farsi Support, as I've installed the BlackEditionHD FXP25-MIUI but none of the RTL patches work as I do even know which MIUI version is being used?
Regards.

Whatever you do, don't put paid apps in your rom. I'm not saying that's what u were going to do. I'm just concerned for new devs. A few people have gotten in trouble for posting "warez" recently, so... yeah. Just trying to help
Not trying to offend, and if that isn't what you were talking about then disregard my ramblings.
And I suggest xloud, assuming you could get it to work... Not sure what mods need to be done for that.

hey guys
The rom is working freaking awesomly, but i need some help with my theme.
The rom is fxp + miui blend, miui on top of fxp. I have the theme i want saved, backed up etc. And i have the script set so it installs with the rom. Everything is fine with the install process, but when i install the rom, the theme is applied, but the lockscreen wallpaper, and homescreen wallpaper revert back to their stock images and not the images i have set.....
Obv i dont want to see a hd pic of the seaside...i want the images i have chosen. Can someone help?
Well I finally figured out where the hell the dam pictures go!
I think I'm ready to release the first version of the rom.
I'll post the thread links tomorrow when it's ready. But first I got a gf to cozy upto

Hi everyone,
Just creating this thread to see if there is any developer who might want to port/ develop cyanogenmod to the SM-T350.
Currently Evervolv for our tablet is a big step forward, but development for it seems slow. I'm not saying anything bad about the developer, on the contrary, is a big step forward.
Anyone interested on developing some sort of Cyanogenmod or AOSP rom for our tablet, I'm more than willing to become a tester.
Good day to all.

I'm not really sure on how to port or compile, but I'm going to be searching some other websites (forums) and ask some people from LineageOS on how to port or compile a rom. And sure, you can be an alpha tester after I try it out myself because I don't want devices to be bricked.

If you have a CM build for the T350 would you mind sharing it? Also did it die due to CM or unrelated?
I've been tossing around what I want to develop on my T350. I would like to use it to learn how to build android from source and install a custom oem android. I'd also like to customize the stock 3E recovery, or fork CWM. A Custom Recovery or modified TWRP is what I'd like to do.
With Android 7.1.1 and 8.0 out now, maybe I'd like to get into a custom intertwined boot.img and recovery.img. Trying to decide how best to setup the dev box.
This thread is to know how many people would use marshmallow or nougat ROM if it is built. Dev Shaky156 wants to know if there is enough demand for it ,so that he might think of developing it. Obviously a dev has a limited time and would love to work on a device which is used by many people rather than a device which is barely known.
Would love to see a Marshmallow / Nougat Custom rom

Hi. I'm really disappointed in this device's custom rom development. I thought that with easy bootloader unlock and kernel sources and overall popularity we would have a large selection of custom roms.
Any thoughts?
There's a fair amount of development going on for the 8/8Pro. Things have gotten a little quiet now that A11 has been released, but slowly the Roms/ Kernels are being released.
If you are that disappointed you have options. You can either start developing your own work, you can sell the device and move on to something else that has more developer support, or you can be patient and wait for things to pick back up.
My thoughts... your post is pointless, there's been others like this in the forums that are just as pointless.
Great answer, that was just the push I needed to start developing my own rom. Just wait for it.
Never felt limited development with the OnePlus 8 Pro! Btw it has an excellent stock oos!
Honestly, the OOS stock, plus root, plus elementary kernel, you will never miss a custom ROM (although it is already a customization).
The gain in performance and battery life will make you forget about it. Give it a try.
Install PPH's AOSP build. Treble.
There's also lineage 18 for treble. I've been meaning to flash then this weekend
Make a few guides on what works and what doesn't.
I just needed a completely pointless post to motivate me
