Hello.
I know Android M probably won't be released for our Nexus 4, but, somebody is working on a ROM based on Android M for our device?
Thanks!

I wish Google release it for the Nexus 4 too as a reward to early adopters and compensation for a device with so many flaws

There are no source code for M has been released yet, patience guys, patience...

This thread is OLD. The Defy already has a lollipop port, so getting lollipop shouldn't be a problem.
I seriously recommend you guys fix your device tree so that it build correctly.

NO, I'm sorry but that won't work, don't ever try flashing things made for other devices, It will most probably just completely brick your phone ;( Some Dev might be able to port it so it works for the Find 5 too though L is unstable still so I don't recommend it. Hope I could help

Android M Preview Port for Nexus 4

Is is possible to Port Android M Preview for Nexus 4?
It is discussed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3120849 but the answer is unfortunately no.
But @sykopompos says he can try building port for nexus 4, link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61029121&postcount=39169
Be calm and wait for the port

Later in the thread he said that currently there was to little source code and to different hardware between nexus 4 and other phones with a preview that he couldn't port it. Or at least that it wasn't worth the effort to do it yet.
Yeah, i am being too excited to see android M preview on nexus 4. I also saw this link for git android m preview for mako:

Unfortunately that misses some of what is needed to port it, so it didn't help
Android M is nice, but for sure oru nexus will need more support if want have M on device. hope some other rooms, like CM will launch M on mako.

See above from one of the gents that put out a rom for our device.
Maybe you're new to Android so I'll respond like less of a smart ass than I usually do.
99% of devs will NEVER even try to work on building a beta OS for a device that has no beta build. So if you want a build that is not from official source, think about picking up a device that has a beta program versus a dead 4 year old device.

Any updates on SM-T230 Android ports?

This poor device has been stuck on touchwiz 4.4.4 for a very long time, it would be great if somebody tried to port a good rom to it.
Please reply with updates, if there's any.

This is really sad. :crying:
I would like to bring mine back to new live too.
Please, dear developers, take care of the 7" Tab 4 too. :fingers-crossed:

I'm working on bringing a fairly new version to degas, probably Android 7 or 8.
im getting ready to refresh the kernel for this device and might be able to help with porting android 10

Presently sitting on an old build ROM
Pixelized-OS-v2.9-20180816-SM-T230NU-FIX
That has worked relatively well even on this device with limited storage, processor, and memory. Either way, I'd love to help my unit has been rooted for 3 or so years and please let all of us know if we can help.
Please also note, I use this device only as a backup, so starting over and trying something fresh can happen quickly.
Thanks for the help and support,

Android 10 should work with some optimization- porting the kernel to a relatively new version would likely be the hardest part.

can only try lol
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

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.
Thanks for trying and let me know if o can help! Sorli...

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...
