Galaxy S6 Firmware

Hey all, i am thinking of buying a note 4 and in my country they sell both variants the F and the C, I dont care much about custom aosp roms and i would like to ask, the S6 firmware when it comes on what variant it can be ported more easily? If not the whole rom then maybe most of the features?
Thanks

Up!

It's possible but I wouldn't expect to see it for some time. First we need the device. Also the Source for said device/kernel. Also the source for your device your porting to. Then there has to be a developer; with both devices, has time to develop, willing to share it, has not left XDA, and is willing to support and fix any problems. Basically flip a coin. Guess heads or tails. That's your answer.

There is a posibility that we'll get the new touchwiz UI in a later update..5.1 maybe.

That is why i am asking, to me as i understand N910C is the more powerful CPU, i don't play many games so for me its my first choice, but in terms of support we all know that the exynos doesn't have any sources, so i am asking if and when the S6 comes, will i get the ported touchwiz hypotheticaly or the snapdragon version is easier way to be ported?

So what will it take to get LineageOS on the SM-T580?

I love the T580. The screen is nice, speed is good, and though it has smaller storage it's livable.
So of course I want to break it.
I'm willing to put in the time to try my hand at building LineageOS for it, but I'm not too familiar with the innards of the Tab A 10.1.
I try to get devices that can and will eventually be rooted for custom ROMs, but it seems the Tab A is falling under the radar.
If anyone has any tips on how to begin to build for this device, I'll start researching it on my off time. I'm finishing a semester of college with a paper and test coming up, but I could use something to take a break from it all.

I would love lineageOS on the galaxy tab A 10.1. I think this is probably somewhat more doable now that lineageos has been ported to exynos devices (S7)., though still rather difficult given the historic challenges of exynos processors.
I would start by checking out the development threads for the S7:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-galaxy-s7-t3529197
Also check out the exynos lineageOS repos:
https://github.com/search?q=org:LineageOS+exynos
I believe the SM-T580 has the 7870 octa processor, which hasn't (to my knowledge) been worked on yet.

I also believe that the 2015 galaxy tab s2 had an exynos processor, and it has had CM/Lineage for a long time.

Everytime Samsung adds internal storage, they also pile in more bloatware. I'm happy to add the storage I need with the SDcard.

It looks like Samsung's new 2017 A series of phones will have the Exynos 7870 chipset, and they're testing for Android 7.0 now. Maybe when it's released we can get the device/vendor/kernel for it, as someone will probably work on getting Lineage to those phones.
Edit: Found a device and kernel github. Now all we need is vendor and we can do an initial build, correct?
Putting the githubs here for notes and comments on usability.
Device:
https://github.com/Siddhant-Naik/android_device_samsung_exynos7870-common
Kernel:
https://github.com/jony1512/android_kernel_samsung_exynos7870

I'll throw my name in the hat for beta tester. I'm super excited to see AOSP on this beast of a tablet.

Yeah, I've had a T810 and T710 and tried all of the custom ROM. Not a single one of them was fully functional. No mic, no bluetooth, no fingerprint, no Netflix or Hulu. The list goes on and on. One ROM will some fixes and another one, other fixes, but not one of them has all the fixes.

Hi at all.
Have You some idea about SM-T585 ? Is it possible to acquire flash contents ? Is it possible to root it without lose anything ? Thanks :good:

I can pull flash content, What do you need?

Good, so You could help me ? I need to recover all flash contents without lose nothing. Could You tell me how I have to proceed to do this ?

Should I stop checking this post every day and just give up hope?

Unless there's a way to pull the vendor files to at least try to start compiling, probably. I've been looking but I don't see anything popping up for this device.
I'm going to see what I can do when I have time next week to see if I can make my own vendor files. If I can get that going maybe I can make something work.

I don't know how any of this stuff works (I am just a huge cyanogen/lineage fan), but Android 7 is on it's way for the SM-T580 and maybe this will change things?
wi-fi.org/product-finder-results?keywords=SM-T580&op=Search&form_build_id=form-E2SKAR_pL0qT-lyXzsaO3tC2FxauQYig4_Bdh2ULq1o&form_id=wifi_cert_a pi_simple_search_form

So I tried to compile LOS14.1 yesterday to no avail. I don't know if I'm doing it right and if the name of the build is mine (it shows #1 as full-eng, and the list doesn't include the board name build). I keep getting errors when it tries to build ninja saying it can't find "bacon", but did I mean "racoon".
If anyone has any experience building let me know what you do. The tutorials I've been trying to use aren't really set up for troubleshooting even when you follow them to the letter.

So Nougat is hitting the T580. Any one know how to pull the drivers and other needed files to make Lineage?

I wouldn't just yet. I'm taking at shot at Android 7.1.2 for the Tab A (Exynos Wi-Fi). It's going to have to be AOSP:good:
Stay awesome,

Now this thread I'm gonna bookmark, I just became very interested!
Let me know if you need testing, I've got a couple of T580 I can run some tests on

Wow! When I hear ? a few, that got me excited. I've found the kernel and binary source and soon my computer will be chugging along. This is my FIRST custom rom. Hope it works

My sister actually has a SM-T580 but she won't let me do any testing on it. ROM should be ready this weekend. I'm going to need some help with testing.

Which Android version/ROM?

S9 Lineage port to the s8 line ?

Would this even be possible. I know that it is ported using the treble, but wouldn't you be able to somehow port the kernel firm and GPU firm ?
I mean, someone out there should be able to do it, just if it's worth the time.
Sadly i am just and graphic designer, i don't know much about coding.

Would be great if treble was somehow ported but I've given up hope.

i did that on the s7 line, but then when s8 came. A suddenly lineage version came out for the s7's.
So yes, i would give up too for now. Bu i am swtiching form phone to phone all the time. And i keep getting back to the note 8
For the size, and i haven't found a phone yet like it.

It would be great indeed but it's not going to happen.
Developers already said that they won't try to port TREBLE to the S8. It would probably be too much work

No Roms for S8

There are official AOSP Roms like Lineage OS for the Galaxy S7 or even S9, but there is no for the Galaxy S8.
What is the reason for that?
I really would like to have something like Pixel Experience on my G950F

There are several nice roms available for the Exy S8 If there isnt one you like the next best thing would be to make it yourself.If it where that easy there would be plenty of them out by now

Is it be possible or easier to port a Rom of the S9. I already have seen lots of ports

Lack of developers. They've all moved on

one ui 2.0

hi there, when we will get the one ui 2.0 custom rom for our Samsung S8 devices?

Maybe when you create it.

Not soon alteast, even I doubt that a custom ROM with OneUI 2.0 will exist lol, 2hard

S7 has OneUI 1.0 with Pie ports so if it can be done there it shouldn't be impossible here. We only need someone that can do it.

That's because the Note 7 FE (same chip as the S7/S7E) was released with Android 7 and got updated until Pie, so they didn't have to port everything to the S7/S7E by scratch, they had a base already

The problems start when you want something you got no idea of programming. People don't work on demand, they do what the like to do because the can do. And they are helpful to those who can't do it when they share their result FOR FREE! Nothing more.

Exactly, that's why I say to not have any hope for OneUI 2.0, someone have to want to work in his/her free time, on something very difficult, and for free.
I'm already grateful with LineageOS 17.1, I though I wouldn't see even 10.0 on the S8/S8+ lol

Such a shame for Samsung even the cheapest Plastic Galaxy A series are getting Android 10 one ui 2.0 and the Samsung flagship device like Galaxy S8+ is not going to get it. Plz XDA developers make a custom rom for Galaxy S8+ based on Android 10 one ui 2.0

never samsung buy again. stuck only 2 updates so sayed.
