[HELP] Port CM to i9506

Hi.
I need help on this one.
I would like to port the i9505 CM 10.2 version to the new i9506 (S4 LTE+A)
But someone told me that i should use the Nexus 5 build of CM because it have the same processor (Snapdragon 800)
Is that the right thing to do ?

if it is exactly the same then it ok i didnt checked right now....the other things you have to port from i9505

You dont port open source roms, you need to make a new device spec and maybe just copy some parts (the cpu hardware part) from nexus 5 into it and then compile it. but I think its better to look at the device spec of the note 3 since thats also a snapdragon800. and better samsung as vendor than LG obviously.
the rom itself doesn't support snapdragon 800 or not, it's mainly bionic that supports cortex a15, a9, which is the arch of the snapdragon 800.
the source for the kernel can be found at samsungs site. and this is where the actuall code is for the cpu and stuff.
but you will not get it working by copying files from the nexus 5 believe me. you need to compile it

Any help with porting to I9506 is much appreciated. So thanks!

port from Note3 CM should be more reasonable coz its a samsung.
I dont make roms, dont blame me if i am wrong

[Q] TWRP recovery for Tab 4 10.1 , when ?

Dear developers!
Let me ask you when will the normal operating recovery*? Really for our device is harder to do than to Tab pro or Tab S ? For them, a long time ago is made and people enjoy , doing firmware, mods , etc.. Why do we so hard? Device on sale for six months, and as a result only 7.0 Table 4 recently received from the TWRP developers full recovery*. When can we expect for us?
With deep respect .

Wondering this too, I just picked up this device but I'm thinking of just returning it to get a nexus 7, as I'm not sure if this device will see L or not :/

I'm wondering this as well. I have the SM-T530NU and this thing is super nice. the hardware specs are great and with an uncrippled android os and kernel that supports overclocking it would be unstoppable. How does one go about building a proper TWRP for this thing?
If you look at that TWRP website, notice that there is a listing for TWRP 2.8 - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Qcomm, thats very close to what we have. What is your guys model numbers? We need someone to look at the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) Qcomm TWRP and see if we could modify it easily to work on the Tab 4 10.1

Yep, I'm actually thinking of returning this device though, as I was hoping I would be able to put custom roms on it (I don't want to be stuck with Samsung's stuff.), but if TWRP is possible for our device, then that means custom roms will eventually be a thing for this I hope.

all we need is someone who has one and knows how to make android. I'ts not too bad rooted and the samsung crap taken off of it, but i agree with the custom roms statement. we need some custom roms. Cyanogen, AOSP, Beanstalk and id be happy

apparently there is a SEMI-working recovery available. Also the source for said recovery is available also. so we have a decent starting point
original thread containing recovery and source:

Yeah, I'm getting ready to sell it for a Tab S..

[Q] "unknown" Galaxy tab 4

I have a new Galaxy Tab 4 S-7200. I want to use it to try a few custom Roms. I did root it with no problem. The problem is, that the model is stated as 6140S and the CPU is a dual core named A23. The tab is supposed to be made in Korea. However nothing can be found about a 6140s. Is there anyone who can give some advise/know something about a 6140S or what model could be eventual compatible? I am using this device for testing so I am not afraid to take a risk.
Thanks.

A23 is all-winner , isn't it ?
okay, i meant to put more on this, if this is an allwinner a23 tab then take a look at this as an example

do these match up?

Need help! Port Lollipop from tab 4 8 to tab 4 7

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if I can install a lollipop (original or custom) rom from the 8 inch tab 4 (sm330) on the 7 inch tab 4 (sm230) and flashing the kitkat kernel of the sm230 without bricking my device.
Correft me if I am wrong, but I believe they have the same hardware and I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I wonder why the 7 inch version is the only one of the tab 4 family that hasn't recceived a lollipop update yet (no official samsung rom and no custom rom).
So here are my questions:
Why can I not flash the sm330 rom on the sm230? (Tab 4 8 rom on tab 4 7)
If I want to try flashing the rom from the 8 inch version, is there anything more I need to flash? (Kernel, mod,...???)
Will the kernel from the kitkat 4.4.2 work on the lollipop rom? Or will it hard brick the device due to different partitioning?
I am ready to experiment and report the results here (such as potential bugs), as long as I don't get a my tablet bricked.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to some inputs from the community

It won't work, they have different chipsets

Thank you very much for the quick reply, I checked the specs and you are right, Marvell chipset for the 7 inch against a Qualcomm chipset for the 8 and 10 inch versions.
But then, is there a device out there (regardless of what manufacturer) that is equipped with the same Marvell chipset and has lollipop? And how hard would it be to port it to the tab 4?
Where can I request this port? (Cyanogenmod, Paranoid-Android, or other rom developement teams?
Thank you in advance for any input

It's actually being worked on right now, over in this thread and it sounds like they're close to releasing something

Thank you again, your reply was extreamly helpful, I read all the posts of the thread you shared and it looks promising, although it will possibly have many bugs on the first builds once posted and one should not expect anything stable for at least a month or two after the first release.
I have been checking xda twice a week since 2 or 3 months hoping to see a lollipop release and I am glad to see that we are almost there
I am satisfied with the answer and will try to be patient for this release
But if you or anyone else has more information to share, please feel free to post it here
Have a wonderful day everyone

Galaxy Tab 4 "Value Edition" (SM-T533, matissevewifixxx)

Hi everybody,
I've been looking up and down in this sub-forum but can't seem to find an up-to-date ROM (Nougat or up) that seems to be suited as a daily driver for the Tab 4 SM-T533 "Value Edition" (WiFi only, no LTE). I understand it has a different SoC than the regular Tab 4, hence the ROMs available for that one won't work.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good alternative?
Currently, I am still on Stock Android 5, rooted (with SuperSU) and TWRP in place. So, I'm good to go, just need a decent ROM.
Thanks for any hints and tips!
Cheers

I have the Tab 4 10.1 wifi only edition t530 and there are craploads of roms. Old but still available. Most don't have working camera. I'm currently running a Dual Boot setup where Stock is my primary rom and LineageOS 14.1 is my secondary rom i can boot into whenever I'd like. Pie has also just been released for this device.

Thanks for getting back. Also for reminding me that I forgot to mention the model name. I edited the OP to point out that it's a SM-T533.
Now, the trouble is that the SM-T533 and the SM-T530 supposedly have different hardware so the ROMs for the 530 wouldn't run on the 533.
I'd be happy with Nougat already. Wouldn't even need to be Oreo or Pie.
Too bad, but it seems there aren't enough devices out there so that it would make sense for any developer to spend the time porting a ROM to the SM-T533.
Cheers

Hiya
i acquired ex demo model of the tab4 T530 and T533.
i managed to fix the T530 model flashing with Odin but no joy on the T533.
what i noticed is the the firmware for the T530 had BL CS and AP files ,but the T533 are only i big file, @Poorusernamechoice developer was supposed to break the firmware into AP BL and CS but alas i have not heard anything back , please assist anyone who has the know how

@musafir 7 Thanks for your reply. I don't believe that after two more years chances have become bigger that anyone puts a minute of work into this. :-( By the way: We still have the tab and it's still running, though it's being used only scarcely now.
