Hello, xdaDevs,
I recently got my Galaxy Note 8.0 (N5110) and I was surprised by the tiny number of ROMs for it.
Well, I thought I may be able to do something about that.
First off, I've not asked anyone about permissions to port their ROM yet.
So, what got me interested in porting a ROM for the Note 8 was a tutorial on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284985
As the Note 8.0 and the 10.1n hardware looks mostly the same ( Both have an Exynos 4412, the 10.1 has Rev 1.1 and the Note 8 has Rev 2.0, they share a Mali-400 GPU, the resolution is the same as is the soundchip. )
A problem could be the lack of HW-Buttons on the Note 10.1...
So, xdaDevs, following the tutorial on the site I linked to above, how likely will I succeed? How likely will I brick my device if I have made a Nandroid backup on TWRP?
Is there anything I haven't considered?
someone's ported the galax Y 8rom to the gn2 so I'd suspect the 101 to the 8 should be doable.

I thought I would ask the forums here. I have a Ramos W30 tablet which has the same processor as the Galaxy Note 2. Can I port one of the Galaxy Note 2 roms to this device since it has the same processor? Bearing in mind that I'm not a programmer of sorts.
thanks.
It's not only about processors. There are a lot of other components in a phone. If you know developing, then go ahead. Anythings possible at xda

actually it is possible but there are a few ramos w30 user so none will try.
I have a SGT 3 GT-P5210 running Android 4.2.2 . But for some developing reasons I want to downgrade it to 4.0.3 ICS.
I have searched a lot on the web, but I couldn't find not even 1 ROM for 4.0.3 dedicated for my device.
I also have a look at this xda thread but nobody gives an answer in the end: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582179
I am actually thinking that it is completely impossible to find a ROM for my purposes, due to many reasons.
Is this right? Or does anyone have a link at such a ROM?
The scenario of just trying to flash a ROM of SGT 2 won't work due to the Intel Atom Processor of GT 3...Not saying that it could work otherwise...
Thanks in advance.
If you every heard of porting then google how to port and there is a lot of guides, so that can help you make a rom for your own then if it works upload it and share it with community

I googled for porting and I found some very interesting articles and guides. But it seems it is not possible for my purposes. The Port ROM has to be for the same processor type (Galaxy Tab 3 -> Intel Atom) and of the same manufacturer as of the Base ROM's (Samsung doesn't have an Intel tablet with Android ICS available..). In some guides I also read that the Android versions have to be of the same type, which is the opposite of what I want.
Porting from Galaxy Tab 2 will ,almost definitely, won't work since it has an ARM processor. But I will try it to ensure that it will fail.
Building from source is also impossible, because several vendor components will be needed, which are proprietary, and as a result, unavailable.
I will let you know when I brick my Tab 3 with Tab 2 ROM.

Why are you so n00b ???
Trying to flash a Tab 2 ROM on a Tab 3 ?
Architectures are VERY different,
Processor are different,
GPU are different,
RAM modules (DDR3L vs DDR2) are different,
Sound Cards are different,
So how could you port this ?
Have you already wondered WHY development of Tab 3 10.1 is too SLOW ?
Good luck with your port.
Btw, if you want the most smoothest ROM released for Tab 3 10.1, flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693396 :good:
It's an awesome rom with many features like Multi-Window

Hey, I did a lot of searching but couldn't find anything about this (surprisingly) so..:
Is somebody already working on a Cyanogenmod version for the Tab S / will there ever be one?
Yes it's being worked on. If the Dev cracks it you'll see a thread in Development.

I would find it unlikely due to the fact that is hasn't happened on the Note 2014, Note Pro, or Galaxy Tab Pro, or the Tab S, which all feature the same Exynos 5 based SoC, and all have far more custom rom and development work.

The sheer awesomeness of the prospect makes it metaphysically more likely. I call this Awesome Theory and I just made it up.
So it seemed like us tab pro owners with the exynos5 were forever destined to be stuck in touchwiz hell until i started browsing the galaxy tab s forum, where I saw there is a group well on their way to porting CM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/cwm-recovery-6-0-5-0-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2824099 )
Since the tab S runs on the exynos 5420 like the tab PRO 10.1, I was wondering; if they are successful, if this could be then be ported to give us some CM love?
several threads on here discussing this subject. here is one of them.

Any thing is possible. I detailed my porting efforts in the thread plus I have my code up on github.. Which I need to update. Just needs someone to do it.
There was galaxy note 8 and note 10 previously but i cant find it now
they either removed it or holding it back
anyway today poland confirmed note 2 lollypop . there is lot of similar hardwares we can find in note 2 and note 8
hope they release all codes of this also
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...will-get-Official-Android-5-0-Lollipop-Update
Note 8.0 LollyPop
I am sure the Note 8.0 will receive LollyPop.
KitKat is a farce, compared to Jellybean. Have 2 Note 8.0s now, one is listed in my sig and the other I have been dealing with for some time since grabbing it on Ebay for less then $100. Who knows what little Lollypop will do for the Note 8.0, as so far JB has proven to me how stable and battery friendly it is over KitKat. Besides LPs interface is to gimmicky and waists screen space. Since more an more apps are pushing the new design, I am getting more and more fed up with Android in general. Samsung Tizan and Linux OS will save me from Google's self worshiping toy interface style.
I don't think soon
cause of release of tab a8
Same hardwear or lower
more expensive than note 8 cause of lollipop
If updated
no body will buy tab a8
