Samsung S7390

Hi All,
I'm Jack Droid and I'm a new member.
I have a Samsung Smartphone model S7390.
Surfing into the internet, I understood that there is not much development for this device...
Maybe because that device is not so appreciated but anyway, I have this model!
Moreover, I did the root and I found an CWM recovery that it's ok for it but what I have never found, is a custom rom.
My question is : do you know if exist a device that could be quite similar to Trend Lite S7390 so that I can use a rom for that and try to flash into my device ?
Many thanks for your attention and waiting for your kind reply.
All the best
Max

you dont want to try a rom just because it is made for a "similar" phone. it is very likely to brick your phone.
the rom must say it is compatible or made for your phone, or you cant use it.
unfortunately, i can find no roms for your phone, as you already found out.

Hi bweN diorD,
thanks for your reply.
I suspected that was not possible to flash a rom for another device into mine but considering that development for my phone is not so much acitve, I was thinking that could be a solution but it seems that it's not a good idea!
I was thinking to S5280 but it has a dual core cpu if I remember well...
Anyway, I have to leave my phone just with CF root and CWM recovery and considering the actual situation, I'm happy in that way !
I will continue my hacking experience with my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition that has much more development.
I also have seen in this very good forum that a member is development a CyanogenMod for that tablet so thjat I'm following the evolution and when the rom will be rock stable, I will proceed to flash it.
I thank you again for your support and I wish you a very good evening!
See you into the forum and all the best!
EDIT
I'm following the development on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52978200
S7392 is the same phone of S7390, only S7392 has two slim but electronical components are the same.
Maybe this could be a good solution!

Well you can try fancylite rom

[REQ] Development Environment Setup for Moto G 2014

Hey there,
INTRO:
I'm a relatively new member to XDA and the Android Community as well. The Moto G (2014) is my first Android phone since ever. I was using iPhones (4,4S,5,5S), iPads and Mac and have Jailbroken and Developed Tweaks, Apps etc for iOS.
Now that I got my hands on this amazing device, I would love to contribute to the Community by developing and porting ROMs for the Moto G 2014.
WHAT? WHY?:
So if it isnt too much trouble could someone post a device-specific instructions, checklist and downloads to setup a development environment for Moto G (2014). I'm a pretty fast learner so any crude form of instructions would suffice. With the right heading and instructions I'm sure that I can contribute to this community.
PAST CONTRIBUTIONS:
If you're curious about what I've preciously done, just Google "Krishna Sagar iPhone" and you'll see. I've developed apps, Jailbreak tweaks and I've even been mentioned and credited by CNET.com for discovering the first solid evidence about 4G in the iPhone 5. (Before it was announced or released. Yea!! )
So any help at all is appreciated! You know.. Help Me to Help You!
Regards
Krishna Sagar

PS: I've searched XDA and found some tutorials but I'm looking for some device specific instructions and downloads such as Device Tree, Kernal, ROM sources etc.. and crude up-to-date instructions on how to setup a Build-Environment. Thanks

Reserved by OP:
Once I get a working set of instruction and successfully setup my Dev Environment, I will post concise step-by-step instructions on how I set it up so that others can use it as a reference.

Okay....i just learned these things past month.
So tell me where you reached so that i can guide you.

I am at the very beginning... From the start would be great. Like i said.. I dont want a lengthy tutorial.. I'll find the instructions myself
For eg: just say setup Android Kitchen instead of walking me through the installation setup.
I just need a crude checklist to begin. I've doing some searxhing of my own.. But like i said, i need a bit more devicr specific approach!

Device specific approach would start once you have downloaded the repo.
Till then.... Approach for all the devices would be same.
Que: You are talking about building the rom from source right??
Or you just want to modify the stock rom!?

And where can I download these device repos?

For Porting ROMs : Usually ports are done from working Cyanogen build or AOSP build, which we doesn't have yet. But, k2wl and shawn are main developers working towards that. Once we get those fully working then only you will be able to port another roms.
Regarding Device Repo: It's required to build rom from source, not for porting one.
repo is a "Source Code" file, which is approx 25-30 GB in size.

Asking about root for Lollipop (a small community rebuke)

Hello guys,
at first I want to say that I am really happy to be a member of this community, where so many users from different countries with different devices come together
and conducting experience exchange. This community is really important for every G3 user, especially to be updated on latest software or to solve problems.
But what really drives me nuts is the ongoing asking about how to root Lollipop in every possible thread.
The answers are mostly the same, what makes this question (let it be a post or a thread) almost useless.
Not only that it annoys me if I am continuously reading the same things, it also makes the whole forum confusing and relevant informations may go missing.
Why we cant create a seperate thread for rooting Lollipop whereto all this issue regarding threads will get removed?
And let us be honest: If you are not able to collect knowledge about rooting from the already existing threads, you shouldnt do it anyway.
Sorry but that had to be said
Just my 2 cents!

Wrong section for your REBUKE. We have Mods who determine whats right or wrong to post and they delete or move threads accordingly.
This rant is a waste of time and space. IMO should be in the Q & A Section but thats for the moderators to decide.
The next big thing will be to ROOT the G3 in its Lollipop/ART state which is why you see this question asked everywhere.
whoever comes up with a way to do this is worthy of praise.

I think the hardest thing to do is 1) Tell everyone at once that it doesn't exist yet, and 2) Tell everyone once it's achieved!
Sticky's do not work, in this day and age where information is so readily and quickly available, most people will not read pages of Q&A, no point discussing it it just will not happen.
Would be nice if once root on stock is done, that a message could be sent to anyone who's posted keywords 'root' + 'stock' under the LG G3 forums. Maybe that's an app in itself. IFFFT + Pushbullet etc etc

I second that my man. RoOT me stock G3 xda

we want to do something about the root Lollipop, please let

Hey guys, I'm using the d852 variant , upgraded to lollipop recently via the OTA, and obviously lost root because of it. Can anyone PLEASE help me get root back?! I've skimmed every post on XDA and not a single one mentions root for lollipop . thanks in advance

Hi Friend,
Please try this thread that I just created: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845
...it's tested to be working fine for my LG G3 variant (D858HK). The steps are from this original thread; I just added an extra manual step (and my thread looks long because I tried to detail the step, with pictures).

Help from experienced Developers!

Hello devs,
I have had a Micromax Canvas 2 Colors phone since a year and a half now. Custom/Themed ROMs were uncharted territory for me till June of this year, when my warranty was about to expire. I decided to use the VionicL ROM then. One heck of a ROM that was. Later, in the span of months, so many developments came in for the device, CM11, CM12/12.1, MIUI, and so on. I was very happy to see that there are so many people working hard on providing us the very best experience on our phone. But, like most of the average mobile phone users, I used to download the ROM, install it and enjoy, nothing more than that.
Now, as the time has come for me to switch to a new phone, I am switching to Lenovo K3 Note. I have had digitizer issues with my Canvas 2 Colors and the battery back-up was a little on the poorer side. So, I'm finally giving my phone away to one of my friends and moving on. Although, I would've loved to experience the final, stable build of CM12.1. Thanks to all the devs that worked hard on that. @Al3XKOoL : Especially you, man!
Now that I'm going to be using a new phone, starting from the 28th of October as per Flipkart, I looked up the phone on xda. Unfortunately, there is no forum for the phone. I was a little disappointed, but even C2C did not have a forum a few months ago. So, I tried looking for ROMs, and I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the progress in new and variety of ROMs. I agree that it is a fairly new phone, but there are a lot of people who own that phone, so I was expecting better results. And another point that many people like me would be searching for ROMs.
The help I request from all the developers here is to teach me to develop ROMs and Porting ROMs. I am absolutely inexperienced here, but I'm eager to learn. I'm 17 years old and I am studying 12th grade at the moment. I would still love to learn about ROM development and Porting so that I can provide the people with some ROMs like you all have. Although, I will not be helping out the C2C family, I can start to help the K3 Note family in any way I can. I hope some developers are interested in having an acquaintance.
Please consider this a sincere request and if anyone can please help me learn, I would be very, very grateful to you. I know that I can't learn it overnight, and that is why I want a proper guidance.
If anyone is interested to help me learn about the things mentioned above, please contact me through a message.
Thank you and sorry for annoying you lot with a long post!
And I will be indebted forever to all the developers in the C2C community for giving me and all the C2C owners a pleasurable experience. Thank You!
Sorry for tagging you people, but I hope you don't mind and you people are the most recognized devs in the C2C community :

first of all thanks for our words..im still using my WIKO RAINBOW as my second phone..ive moved on to VODAFONE SMART ULTRA 6 and im testing MIUI 7 LOLLIPOP with a ported rom already that is booting and running with TWRP ..although is very buggy its ALPHA version still, that is nice..
for developers/porters whatever is not easy to teach someone..we have our work to do and that kind of knowledge we have, it took us a few years and at least some dead phones, hard bricks and a few other bad things that could happen to our phone..so my advice to you:
read
search
talk with other users
now and then ask for help when you need it, some users know a lot
you need time and patient..be aware that many times things will not go as you expect or wish..best of luck and keep following us in my blog and youtube..RAINBOW / MMX A120 C2C still is a good phone.:good:

Hey, thanks for taking time out to read my post and replying.
Nice to hear that you've been working on a different phone and rolling out new ROMs for that phone too!
Yes, I know that everyone have their own work, family and personal stuff and everyone are developing in their free time or as a hobby. I will be doing the same too as I have my studies as a bigger priority.
I understand it is not easy to teach anyone about developing, at least guiding is possible, right? I would be glad if you could guide me in what to read and where to be careful etc. stuff like that.
I already bricked my K3 note once and revived it somehow. I know it will not be an easy road or it is just as easy as downloading a ROM and flashing it in recovery, most of the users can do that. I know it is hard work, I will try to read, but there is so much knowledge on XDA alone that it will take me forever to read, understand and be able to implement. So, what I am asking is, if you could let me know on where to begin and in which direction to go after that, I would be indebted to you.
Again, Thank you for taking some time out, I know you have loads of work, and I hope I can be as good a developer as you someday!

There is a Chinese developer who has rolled out CM12.1, but the English translations are not complete, so there are some chinese fonts still left behind, and there are some bugs in that too. I would not recommend using that ROM for daily use till the bugs are sorted out and the full English support is included.
With some support, I was planning on compiling CM12.1 for the K3 note. I've noticed that major developments for this phone is on some Spanish and Russian websites and not on XDA. I was a little sad to see that, but hopefully, there are a lot of developments on XDA too!

Cyanogenmod for P9 lite?

Because I'm bored most of the times, I decided that I will try to port the cm for our p9 lite. First of all, I wanna say that I'm not a developer and my experiences with porting aren't too big (i only ported some roms from moto g to moto g 4g version and cm11 to unbranded chinese tablet). So my question is guys, do you think that it's worth trying? I read that it's pretty hard to make custom rom for devices that have chipsets like kirin, mediatek etc... But since Huawei released their kernel sources for this device I thought that it isn't a bad idea
What do you think?

there are a few guys on p8 lite forum that are trying for a while now...i think it's just to hard and we don't have experienced devs to work on our device

I looked on the chinese forums too (our p9 lite is named huawei g9 in china) but there are only threads about twrp recovery and roms that are based on stock. I'm now taking my time to learn how cm and the other stuff works so i will try to report some progress soon hopefully

We have kernel source code, and we can start building cm13,
But first we need a device tree.
My knowledge is limited to build ROMs from source, and yes i have kernel source code and cm13, but i need device tree and I don't have time to build it from scratch

But we can use a device tree from p8 lite which has similar chipset (kirin 620) and then modifiy it. Correct me if i'm wrong

As far as I know p9 lite has kirin 650 SoC, after some quick research i found that these two are different from many points... Of course you can try it but they aren't many chances of success.
Update:
I have done more research and someone was able to build and update kernel from that source. So we have a short start. At least we know that kernel source is ok

Yeah, I don't have the device but I may be able to help you out whenever I finish CM13, since then I'll have more time. By the way, don't be too excited about the kernel sources, We also have the p8 lite kernel source but many stuff is missing.

Emm,is it a bad idea to make a sort of a chat room for those working on CM for the P9 Lite?
It would go much faster if several people worked on it together instead of working separately,right?
So far I took the P8Lite device and vendor trees,replaced the blobs/sensitive stuff with the ones from the P9 Lite and edited the config files.
I tried to make the -eng build(of course,to be able to logcat broken things),yet the build info wouldn't mention the full build name in the "CM_VERSION=" section. I must've missed something I can't locate no matter how hard I try.
I also tried to build the kernel first,but it asked for the cyanogenmod_hi6250_defconfig in /arch/arm64/configs. I then "added" it(improvised by creating a copy of the stock defconfig and just renaming it),and then the build procedure asked for "hisi_cm_hi6250_debug_defconfig" in /arch/arm/configs,and I have no clue on how to get that one.
This is the first time I tried to do a thing like this,but I wanted to try,and sharing information(even the ones which appear to be useless) might help someone...
I will sync the improvized device and vendor trees when I get back home(Sunday),hopefully it will be at least a bit helpful to everyone.
It is most likely that you guys will keep ignoring me,but we surely can make it go faster if we work together.

I use Hangouts to communicate with my fellow rom builders/dev.
Hangouts is pretty good for chat groups,and is easy to establish/use.
I also asked one excellent dev for help when he gets the time.
So,theoretically,we have a decent number of capable people for this endevour.
My Hangouts mail is [email protected].
Anyone who is interested in exchanging information can freely talk to me.

I may join if you like me to, but if you are focused on CM, delete vendor.mk, I completely rebuilt it to work on CM, you can't add such a high amount of blobs.
What I may suggest, is to fork the kernel (of your device) and the P8LiteDev tree, and use it as a base, but remove the blobs from vendor.mk
It would be also a good idea to deodex your rom and upload it somewhere.
