There are no custom roms that are built from source. Those are just modified versions of stock. You most likely won't be able to get it working on stock you will just have to wait. I am trying my best

[Q] Late 2012 Model WFS Roms?

Hey guys,
I'm a noob here on XDA , and to the whole Smartphone scene, I decided Id buy a WFS a few weeks ago and figured i'd root it and install JellyBean .
But only a few days ago I found out that you could only install Roms with the stock kernel?
So , basically i'm disappointed because I took it for granted id be able to install Jellybean just because I saw videos of it on You Tube and saw Roms etc.
But I saw a thread on another forum site, some guy mentioned something about using Notepad++ and opening up the "Updater_Script" File in the Rom you want to install and delete the first line of text (claiming its something got to do with verifying the devices model) , apparently it worked for him with a "Black screen recovery" model, with a CM9 Alpha 7 + 8. I tried it with CM10 JellyKing, and it didn't give me any luck, :/
So anyway I just wanted to throw all that out there because its all I know on the issue, and if anyone knows anything else or any Rom fixes or any other options I have to get a smoother lighter Rom Id be glad to hear it, or if they know of any Devs working on it.
I'd really appreciate any info given as i'm finding it very hard to get any information at all, I've been searching for a long, long time and it seems us people with the new model WFS are being neglected :/.

or this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37201495&postcount=54
They all work on WFS 2012, but by me, on all of them, after I download something from the market and the application starts installing on the phone my WFS reboots and is like this every time it tries to install something. If you try any of these roms please share if you have the same problem. Thanks.
NOTE: Do not install custom kernels, except this one, which is not exactly a custom one but a stock just with the ability for CPU overclock:

Is this some sort of tweaked Jellyking Rom to work on the 2012 WFS?
Is there a need to install that kernel?

AOKP+Nameless+Asylum_Omni

I have tested these roms on my find 7a and they work great. I'm not sure of these will work with find 7 so please do a nand backup and report back in the thread if it works. Credits to the devs for these releases.

Thanks for sharing. I know Chas has set up a thread or two on XDA before so I'll patiently wait for him to start one up.
Anyone tried this?http://androxfer.in/get.php?p=AOKP-....zip&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews
Apparently it works on 7a
I will give it a shot now
Edit* This appears to be the same as the one I linked in the OP but a newer build from Dirk. I am assuming this has now gone in to an official status as I can find it on the AOKP site. OP has been updated with the official site being the link - Thank you for pointing it out as it has now made me realise it was official! - I remember seeing a post from Dirk on Google+ about it being supported but I had forgotten to keep an eye out on the actual AOKP site.
Also added official CM nightlies to OP
Do any of this work with the Find7 (not 7a)?

I'm not sure. You could make a nand backup then try if you want. I think as soon as there is an AOSP rom built for the find 7 QHD you could use the kernel from that and put it in roms built for find 7a and everything should be fine. Until then it might not function at 100 percent.
Thanks for posting the links dude!
So the AOKP nightly for the FInd 7, that's for the "Find 7" not the 7a? And is it for the 9077? AOKP doesn't specify the device model
Cheers

Well Dirk Rettschlag has mentioned it here as the Find 7 but I have used the version displayed in the screenshot from his G+ plus the release on the official AOKP site which also lists it as Find 7 on my Find 7a and it works perfectly. Do a nand backup and have a shot at testing it?
DOES IT WORK?
Find 7 (x9076) compatibility?

SuperSU kept force closing and was non responsive at all both times I installed the ROM on clean installs. Could get no root features or root apps to work?
I've seen this before as SuperSU needed the binaries updated but I could get no progress with it??

I liked C-Rom but it gave me issues installing it. Every time I tried to run it it would not pass the boot animation; after 10 minutes of it sitting there the same thing would happen on reboot. The only way I got it to work was by dirty flashing over the top of itself. After installing all of my apps i went to reboot and upon pressing and holding the power button it forced a hot reboot that would not pass the boot animation. I gave up after trying this a few times. I didn't report this to the dev as he has lots of stuff going on.

Had similar issues first time I tried booting C-Rom. When I seen Nameless on the Oppo forums their instructions added wipe system after full wipe an it seems to be working good like that. I now factory reset, then wipe system, dalvik and cache under advanced and it seems to be working fine like that

gt-i9195 here.
Installed CM11 nighly form 10.10.2014. Noticed bugs: Dialer blocks while receiving calls (fatality); Contacts: important vcards from extsdcard crashes;
Installed CM10 latest stable - Contacts won't see ext sd card mounted (I guess) since it says it found no vcard to import from there. Really don't feel motivated to go any further, restoring stock..

Ever lasting boot
Hey there, I recently followed this tutorial on how to install Cyanogenmod on your GT-I9195. Though, I have ran into a very annoying issue and I'm stuck without any clue on how to solve it:
I rooted my phone successfully using CMW and the rootkit supplied in the rooting thread referred to here. The phone worked fine and SuperSU was present after the root.
I then proceeded to wipe userdata / cache and install the latest CyanogenMod 11 nightly(11/11/2014) + Gapps supplied from this thread.
I rebooted the phone after the installation was complete of both CyanogenMod and Gapps.
I was greeted with a never ending Cyanogenmod booting screen.
I am not using a custom kernel, thought I'd just mention that too.
I tried just installing Cyanogenmod and rebooting too, still a never ending boot screen.
I am really lost because this has worked for just about everyone who replies to this thread. I noticed some people have been having problems lately, could it just be the latest nightly causing problems?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I installed CyanogenMod 11 M12 and now it works perfectly! The build from 11/11/2014 is not working properly it seems.
question about compatible with sgh-i257m?
first off i would like to sincerely say thank you to arco68. I wish i found your cf auto root app sooner as i think it is by the best method off gaining root access by far! I just switched to android 2 years ago and just love it compared to fighting with jailbroken pos! Lol... I see arco68 is working on this cyanogenmod rom for i9195? I have a sgh-si257m and as far i know is pretty much the same cell except for fm radio? I rooted with cf auto to keep my device name and flags default ( again hail arco68) . But before i jump and mess something up (done that before) can someone confirm i can just do a normal rom flash and gapps and everything should work? ( even tho i have different phone)
Does this rom have its own kernel? If so will my device name change? Sorry for the newbie questions im still learning. Again thanks to arco68 i wish i could donate for your hard work but im layed off right now and with 3 kids.....well once im working i sure will. Thank you All

It has its own kernel, and device name will not change. Installing it will trigger knox though.
Max call volume in S4 Mini CM11
Hi,
I have a problem with call volume in S4 mini with cm-11-20141202-NIGHTLY. So in every call, the sound volume is set to max and I need to turn it down (call sound volume setting isn't remember in the next call). It's really annoying. If you resolve this problem please send me information how to do it.
Best regards

Hi guys, I'm new here, I've just bought a s4 mini and I want to install this rom on it. I have 4.2.2 ml4 on the phone, knox enabled. I've read around the forum, but I'm still a little bit in the dark. One question would be if I install a custom rom, there is no way to do it without tripping knox as it needs custom recovery? And the second one do I need to be on a specific baseband jb or kk to install kk? Thanks

On both questions the answer is NO.

SM-T116 rom dilemma!!

Good day XDA!! This is my first ever post or thread on XDA, for about 5 years I have been a spectator to this site, and it has been an essential source for all things us android foondies want and need. But for the past month I have hit a blank when it comes to my new tab3 ve 7.0 sm-t116nq (goyave3g).
It started when I wanted to root it, little to no support for this model was available (at least through the search function) I managed to root through Kingo root on a pc. But now my dilemma is finding/porting rooms for this model. I have no problem with all my Mediatek androids, but I'm in the dark when it comes to samsung. I don't even know where to begin, for other popular Samsung's it's not a problem, obviously because they're popular.
SO, I need some help. I hate this abomination they call touchwiz, I want a vanilla aosp rom for this model, or even better CM or PAC-MAN rom!! I am prepaid to put a lot of time and effort into this. I have extremely limited experience, most of my past successes was actually the success of other xda members (you guys are awesome BTW.) Any info would be apriciated.
So let's revive this tablet and let's start a revolution for budget tablets.

Can anyone help me find pit file for galaxy sm-t116NU??????
OMG, Im also stuck here with SM-T116BU which was officially upgraded to Tab E (somehow) how it happened, i don't know since this was my son's Tab 3v originally.
lately. i have rooted tru inception (nice job for the rooting guys) then tried TWRP 3.1.1.0 but couldnt boot, down ver to TWRP 2.8.7.0 bcos the others are either not TAR for odin or files are missing to boot TWRP recovery.
so far, i have tried CM-13 but failed miserably, perhaps those files are corrupted as well
I enjoyed loading with my "Note3 with touchwiz" DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO RECOVER, so i tried using the same ROM N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016. installation smoothly with TWRP into TAB E but could NOT make it BOOT.
I guess some files are missing while downloading those as well or those files have been corrupted thru the years.
N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016 not difficult to find but NEED an expert to cook a SM-116 version since this is best "complete" ROM (need kernel) in my Note3 now
I'll keep trying ROM N9005_TouchWizMM_V4_16-04-2016 into THIS TAB E and mixed with SM_116 kernels n I KNOW I MIGHT BRICK THIS SM-116 Tab E, what the HACK so let it be, NO VENTURE NO GAIN hahahaaa

What exactly are you trying to do?
Well. The TouchWiz works perfectly on my note3 so I'll try to cook a TouchWiz for Sm-t116 from the note3 platform. If u have ready ROM, do send them. Tks in advance !
Ps. Out of town next few days ??

Guys please give the firmware rom for TVRP on the TAB-3 Lite SM-T116 ! Cause when I for some reason flashed TVPP I realized that there are no custom firmwares for this device , But I need 100% working FI-WI, and cyanogen mod does not fit, cause Wi-Fi doesn't work there!

Is there more ROMs?

I recently purchased an tab S4 just an update from my previous Samsung tablet. I was wondering is there more ROMs for this tablet or ROMs currently in development? I noticed theres like 2 ROMs for this tablet. I have a note 8 and I'm currently running deluxerom on and it, and I really enjoy the tweaks and customization I'm able to do. I was looking for a same kind of feature for my tablet. Would greatly appreciate the answers I'm looking for. Thanks!

Pretty much zero support. You can get a few 9.0 GSI ROMs to boot, but they all have issues. Mine has been sitting around since it was purchased while still using my old 2014 model.

Aww no way!? Really? I excitingly got this tablet cause of the features and thought perhaps there would be amazing ROMs for this particular tablet, but I guess not xD What are GSI ROMs? Also as a desperate attempt would other tablet ROMs work on this s4? Thanks mate!

I had thought the same thing, but it seems the S3 is the last tablet to get real support.

Some of the ones for 9 will work, but most features won't work too well, if at all.
You might be able to get another rom to work, I know I had no luck. Even trying ones with similar hardware, they all failed to even flash since the booting numbers are different.
Kind of have to be satisfied with Samsung, half baked custom roms or sell the thing.

Hey Veekay I tried it and you're right unfortunately I came across the same issue as you brother
Now I'm stuck and I need help sorting my device out, was wondering if you knew this issue or could help?
When I got the stock firmware back and then when I flash TWRP with odin after going into TWRP I get 0mb as internal
so when I format and then go back into my load up the screen after SAMSUNG says "verification failed" and then reset
on the bottom. I tried other options as well. Without even wiping on TWRP the devices boots up into the setup wizard for the firmware fine
but after I wipe TWRP so I can get access to my internal drive my samsung boots into that verification reset screen. Got any clue as to how I can
resolve this issue? Thanks a bunch!

Hey! Thanks for your reply, will this work for PIE? I can't downgrade from PIE to OREO
and I don't know if GSI even works properly on my device

Have you tried just reloading the latest stock firmware from scratch?
Yup, its unfortunate that there isn't much community support for this device. The Tab S4 is Project Treble supported and a few GSI ROMS do work. But as others have said they are unstable and not for use as a daily driver. We have a few discussion threads here talking about them.

Would that work? If I did that I would still be able to download and install TWRP and have a root? Because of it being PIE

I am going to do more research on these projects because I really wish there was more ROMs its quite an amazing tablet but the potential with the stock ROM lacks a lot

Generic System Image (GSI) list :
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
you can try only "Android 9 Pie" official or unofficial gsi roms..
and remember ! Some GSIs roms maybe are not compatible with some devices! you can ask for your device on each thread
(for example look here): https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/777
(usually this Gsi aosp 9 phh, generally works on most devices...BUT! ask first,and discuss it in the thread)

Can I do this without stock ROM and only TWRP? Because having the stock ROM is disabling my twrp to function without wiping and if I wipe than my stock ROM doesn't work
Thanks!

Sorry,but I don't understand what do you mean " without stock rom and only twrp"...
you can install a Gsi rom, with two ways
Via TWRP, or Via Fastboot : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/ (Tab S4 is a-only arm64)
for any other question, it is better to ask in the thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915
(read carefully in OP & you can post,every single question there for your device,and you will get certainly help from the developer or from any other user..)

You are going to have to just wipe it and start over from square one, unless you made a TWRP backup before starting all of this.
Download and flash the latest stock rom from recovery and then you can load twrp again.
I was looking at the possibility of using GSI's on some devices, and while they can offer new life to older devices, they're not entirely stable all the time unless you're willing to make your own changes. I know Lineage has made some excellent progress, but it's not fullproof yet and I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to not use your device as a daily use device.
I had an extra T-Mobile Revvlry which is basically a rebranded Moto g7 Play that I installed the Lineage GSI image and it works fairly well. However, this is more the exception to the rule and Moto devices, I feel, are far simpler in design vs certain Samsung devices. It also had a ton of trial and error involved for me to get it up and running properly.
Is it possible as the s4 becomes older, more people buy it and Samsung stops releasing official updates that someone will come along and create a ROM for it? Or is it more like Samsung locked the bootloaders and its close to impossible to write a ROM for it? Is it still possible to root the s4?

Read very carefully without rush ! for " WETA Kernel + Encryption disabler " etc
especially, read the user comments carefully, and ask on the thread for any questions you have..

( Newest Odin v3.14.4 is there : https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.4.zip )
Thanks. I took a quick peak at the roms and kernels in the roms and kernels forum and they are pretty much all abandoned.
Someone did mention that the LOS 16.0 and ArrowOS GSI's work alright but are a bit buggy.

samsung,maybe at the end of july to give the upgrade to android 10....it is very likely to happen I think
yes,all Gsi Roms still have various problems unfortunately...
my opinion is: stay to stock rom for now....you can "uninstall" many applications if you want & without root, via "samsung package disabler"(paid) from playstore, or with this way:
https://beebom.com/how-remove-bloatware-android-without-root/
also,you can Install "NiceLock Downloader Companion App" ,to add some features on your device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
with this way I operate my device until now..
