Are there any custom ROMs for Samsung Galaxy A3.
Is there AT LEAST anyone trying to make one.
I can't even believe such devices don't have such developers and support
There isn't any custom ROM yet, but we have a deodex for our device. You can get it here:

I know about this but to have deodex ROM, I need custom recovery-TWRP, and to have one, I need lollipop, but I have KitKat since lollipop isn't stable
TWRP for A3

Will there ever be any custom ROM for galaxy A3? Because, Samsung will probably not release any more updates for this phone. No development on 5.1.1 yet. Only way to get gl higher android versions is to make Custom ROM.

I THINK i might be able to make one by porting CM12.1 for example from other device similar to ours and i have been researching and found out that Motorola Moto E is almost very similar to A3.
So i might actually try porting it and i hope it's easy as it looks in the tutorial.
Motorola Moto E is left and A3 is right

Don't worry about time my friend, take as much as you need. I would give it a shot but working so much iIhave barely any time and hard drive space for the sdk etc. Good things come to those who wait!
Do you know if flashing a custom or stock rom into an A3 using ODIN will void the Knox? surelly yes, right?

Yes, these two devices share same processor. Also keep in mind, a custom ROM is already under development for A5. Maybe, we could try and port that on A3?

That ROM is still in beta status with bugs so it is not a good idea to port that to A3.
I think it's better to wait for the new cyanogenmod version(marshmallow) to release first.
Then someone to build it for our device.
Maybe I will try to build for A3 but right now I'm busy with college stuff.

Knox is in the bootloader, right? If you flash any stuff not signed by Samsung the Knox will be tripped.
Hey guys I have good news for A3 users (not custom ROM, unfortunately)
I'm currently porting AOSP theme to our systemui.apk settings.apk and etc (notification panel, transparent recent, status bar, etc) it should be ready by this weekend if the original dev permits me of distributing it.

Unfortunately, I think same was said for Lollipop. The device is already almost one year old. If we don't do it now, it will be completely forgotten. It won't be easy to port Marshmallow if we are not familiar to porting Lollipop. I think we better start with Lollipop even if it contains bugs.

The difficulty would still be the same be it lollipop or marshmallow. It would still be completely different even if the custom ROM in trying to build is lollipop because Samsung uses TouchWiz ROMs which is very different from AOSP (cyanogen, blisspop, noname, etc)
BTW the bugs aren't within the Cyanogen version itself but the build was faulty. So it's futile to port a faulty build. Plus you have to modify a tonne of stuff in order to port the CM12.1 ROM. Even porting the A500F CM12.1 ROM to other variants of A5 causes massive headaches.
Trust me I have experience.
I'm pretty sure one day someone will develop for us, if not then it'll be me, but I'm too busy with college now D: and I have a computer too crappy to build ROMs. So that sucks :/
Can I actually root the lollipop version of A3? I need the system files but can't do without root
Yes, you can.

Yo peeps,
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]For people who say I will wait for official update STAY OUT![/COLOR]
So i was trying to port the G2's Lollipop update to G1. Many of you may think itz quite useless, well i just decided to try because i am a big dev here to compile AOSP or CM12 roms without a proper device tree. So while we wait for Official Update or until CM/AOSP becomes stable i thought maybe i could try porting. So i managed to get the system and boot.img made a zip and now the problem seems with the kernel. I get a fall through to fastboot mode when i use their kernel and when i use ours it gets stuck on bootlogo. Both the kernels are of 3.4.42 and i am not good at kernels like the way i am at kang so if someone could help me with the kernel part maybe we can get L earlier.
This thread is for only people who can encourage and try helping! Others please excuse.
I unpacked both the boot.img made a zip of it and uploaded so that it would be easier for people to help. I dont mind testing it numerous times. Willing to listen and try anything and everything that can make it boot. So here are the kernels.
Hope to find help!

I think it is impossible without kernel source... This way you can play with Ramdisk only. Moto g2 has little bit different hw..
only difference is screen size and camera, the processor, graphics chip, ram, battery and sensors are the same. so it is possible to port g2 update to g1.

The ROM itself-yes
Kernel-no.
I know almost nothing about kernels and all related with it things and even do not know why I was mentioned by OP
But I have a question. Can we just flash firmware from G2? Can it brick our device completely in a worse way?
Why am I saying such a bool****? Read first line in that post again

I have flashed ZTE warp cm10 on ZTE v9a with kernel built by myself and it was also working... But with warp kernel there was no chance to boot v9 device up.
I think with flashing g2 lollipop over g1 shouldn't brake your phone permanently, unless you are not flashing modern etc. (just flashing system and kernel). But I cannot promise nothing will be broken
Try using a CWM flashable version of the G2 rom along with the CM12 kernel? You might be able to get some kind of result from it?

@S0bes i thought you may know something so kinda tagged u bro btw i tried flashing g2's stock firmware image it doesnt brick or anything but since they have a different kernel it still goes to fall through to fastboot mode even on g2's stock roms. the main difference is that 5.0 uses ART and ours DALVIK and hence i believe that what the issue.

I do not believe so. Neither Android 4.4.4 Moto G LTE nor, Moto G (2014) Kernels (or ROMs) boot on Moto G (2013.)
@yeshwanthvshenoy I know you stated you are a big dev, but since you are, you already know kernels can't be ported from an image. You need the source code. Unless you have a magical way of changing code without needing to decompile.
Still... if you are having fin making zips, go ahead, don't let my words discourage you. But... this is a dead end.
Agreed with @fermasia
if porting kernel without source was such an easy task by this time we had so many kernels
Only way is directly flash 2nd gen kernels to try our luck if some things work
All the best [emoji4]

I dont think there will be any luck since G 2014 has a different MSM board and that has to do with the result you will get. So if you manually flash XT1064 firmware on an XT1032 just expect a beautiful soft brick in the best of the cases... Just wait for official OTA, there are just days left for it!!! Next week we will se some news.
for this you need a new kernel for G1, which we dont have. (and even if we had it then we had the ROM too)
you will have to use the old kernel with the new ROM. which will obviously create tons of error.
have you tried CM12 kernel with the ROM?
For the kernel, try following and check if there is some progress.
Decompile both the kernels with dsixdia kitchen. You will get ramdisk and Zimage for each kernel. Try following combination.
4.4.4 Zimage (G1) + 5.0 Ramdisk (G2) + Modules (G1)
If no, try using init.rc of G1 and give another try.
I'm not planning on helping you do this, but the g2 and g1 use the same kernel. You only have to enable certain things in the defconfigs...

You don't really need it, decompile the boot.img and replace the zimage inside with a compiled one.
I don't recommend doing this. Porting in this case is pointless.
By the way, kernel source was released a while ago.
Good luck on the kernel. Though I highly suspect that Motorola will give us Lollipop on the Moto G before anyone is able to come up with a working port.

thanks for the info and help all of u are extending i know maybe this may not work out but itz just a try. and @Somcom3X can u please a little more of the above statements u said about changing defconfigs and few other stuff. Should i use G2's zimage and G1's ramdisk or any file that u think would make it boot? Can u specify the file name if so.
Get the basic source of the G1. Match the changes made to G2 for the L. Best to getthe old G1 kernel source and modify the things needed for the L. Test and Go.
Unless its creating changes in filesystem its good to play with.

agreed, its a great phone with great promise, but its problem with this chinesse models and same phone with 4 diff models. You aactually need more develpoers than. I hope it will get better soon, its kinda still new phone, but compared to s series, its better to buy s5 and have tons of roms, if you are in to that stuff.I had same problem with htc desire 820, chinesse phone with no develpors, tons of models and 0 roms

Worry not, the S5 is still a powerful device. Even the Nexus 4 got an unofficial port, so why wouldn't the S5? My bet is they'll make a port since a lot of S5 hw is shared with a lot of other devices.

S5 is getting Android 8 by LineageOS 15 check the Lineage Thread and you will see that the git is already made so now its just a little wait time , because after a LineageOS 15 is stable there will def be a dev that will complie a straight AOSP of Oreo as well.

S5 is getting Android 8 by LineageOS 15 check the Lineage Thread and you will see that the git is already made so now its just a little wait time , because after a LineageOS 15 is stable there will def be a dev that will complie a straight AOSP of Oreo as well.

Thank you for the reply. Even though if we don't get an official one I'm a sure we will get a unofficial port.

its not a port , it will be compiled for the s5 , a port is more like the google pixel Oreo system being modded to run on the s5 , just wanted to clarify that . but we might get an un-official first if the dev decided that its in their interest in the form that bug report feedback from users that deviced to test run the un-official builds to help them know all or most current bugs , the chances are high for the S5 as well because most of the bootable builds ive seen on different devices are still beta- un-official builds so i assume that this is the route that most devs are taking to handle the bugs quicker.
Just an FYI Regarding LineageOS Oreo from a Lineage Blog post from a few weeks ago that states:
"LineageOS 15.0 progress
While the cm-14.1 branch development hasn’t stopped, we’re also working on the next LineageOS version (15.0), based on the latest Android 8.0. We will refrain from giving any ETA, just patiently wait until the new branch is ready for release-time."
The blog is located on the following link:

Thank you!

I had no idea you deleted a post.
I'm actually curious about this as well, I have been looking for such a rom and it seems like there is none for t810.

If there are any custom Oreo ROMs for our T-810, they are a very well kept secret.
the lead developer @T_I had some life stuff come up, and hasn't had a chance to look at bringing up the 810 to Oreo yet. Wish I knew enough to figure out how to help out with it.

anks, thank you for the information.
It just baffled me as to why there were no O roms at all.
I have 8.1 running on a Nexus 7 2013 and a Nexus 6 and those devices are ancient.

Indeed, I'm battling with a concussion, very limiting my screen time. Also, to be honest, @RaymanFX is the lead developer for the 2015 Tab S2 models, I just managed to adapt his code for the T810 (not to difficult) and the T710/5 (bigger challenge, still needs a lot of work).
My prio at this point is to get the T710/5 functioning before putting time in, unless RaymanFX wants to start work on Oreo for the T815, then I can test the other devices. (alas, no real work for a while, just barely managing to get 4h of work in a day)

@bonuzzz it'd be great to see the sources. The 810 is similar enough to the 710 that porting should be fairly straightforward

hi, not to open a new thread:
but official there is also Nougat 7.1 for the S2 2015 version.
Can i flash this and root it per superSu?
Is there any custom kernal avialble?
or better an "original" Rom just moded?
thanks for answers in advance

The answer is quite easy.
CustomROMs would be easier to create if there'd be an official Oreo ROM from Samsung. The SM-T810 is still on Nougat (I got a "new" update a couple of days ago, which only "updated" the security patch level...).
Since Samsung released the S3 Tablet, there won't be any effort spend into developing an official Oreo Rom in this "older" Tablet, imo. The SM-T810 has an Exynos 5433 CPU (and not a Qualcomm), which means we're facing closed-source and therefore smooth and fully working CustomROMs won't be very likely.
The question is: Why do you want a custom ROM at all?
The stock Nougat ROM can be debloated (e. g. via Neked Maker), rooted, Xposed can be installed.
All is working fine, and you can customize it very much.
What feature are you looking for in a custom ROM which isn't possible with stock ROM??

There's no stock Oreo rom. For me, it's not that I want a custom rom, it's more that I want an Oreo rom.
Actually possessor of a T715 Tab S2. I saw someone managed to build an Oreo rom for T710, if the rom will come also for the sim variant it will be really great! We have to forget about samsung spending time for "old" devices....Instead thanks all the developers teying to get the best out of this tab and updating it.
P.s give me a working fingerprint and i'll give you mi life lol

I'll build daily for all 4 Oreo variants when the code is mature enough to boot :good:
