porting note 3 to note 2

can this be done using the a flashable note 3 rom ?
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880932541

Well i am not developer
But.i really wonder that what happens if note 3 rom flashed to note 2..
The leaked rom of 4.3 of note 2 has old kernel. So note applications are falling when its ported.probably because of old kernel.
But my question is what happens if note 3 rome is directly flashed to note 2..

I'm also not a dev. And I wondered that too. Then I thought... if that was even possible someone would have already done it by now, right? Still, maybe we all wait for someone to try it... So, feeling courageous? Go ahead and let us know if that worked. But don't blame me if u get ur device bricked or something.

Obviously you can't flash the note3 rom to note2 without modifying it. If it would even flash, your device would get bricked by the note3 kernel.
In the end, this is a question/answer thread. Please someone move it to the proper section or close it. No development going on here.

Ok, I actually have been trying to port a N3 ROM over to N2 with no success. I have very limited time, a crashed hard disk and no Internet at home. If anyone is interested, I can upload (in maybe a few days - no net at home ) a half-baked port that just about gives the N3 boot sound and gets stuck at the Samsung text boot animation. I haven't gotten a logcat from it too, so its more like shooting in the dark.
Even if you are not interested in my half-baked port and want to start afresh, note that the /system partition's size in the N3 is pretty different. You'll either have to try a .PIT that gives you ~3GB to the /system or go my way of chopping down on the /system's contents to fit it to N2's default partitions...

I tried flashing ROMs based on the leak, and my Note 2 gets as far as the boot screen, where it starts to vibrate in a Morse code type pattern. I'm thinking combining one of the ROMs with a different kernel will get something started...

After you get stuck in the repeated vibrating pattern, reboot to recovery and head to /data/logs - pull the latest tar log (by UTC time) and go through the txt it contains - you will have the kernel log, logcat and all that you need to debug.
My mistake was I downloaded an incomplete dump that is missing part of the framework. Will try again with a different base when I get the time.

Awesome! So even after a battery pull, this information will still show on the log? A battery pull is my only way out after this happens. I'll give it a try!

I need to add that I'm using a T-Mobile Note 2 (SGH-T889).

I do think that it's nearly impossinle, dur to the difference in resolution and width between N2 and N3 even if it boots up it will look distorded, and also is the N2 missing sensors that the N3 has..
some of the apk's are working on the leaked 4.3 firmware, i think u should help in getting the air command working properly, it's working but no icons, the thread is over in the apps section

That is not a problem. We have seen ports from different resolutions in the past. We may have to change the resolution of png files in the drawables for some apk.
That said - and this is for all members - THIS IS A DEV DISCUSSION. UNLESS YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO PORT THE ROM OR DO SOME DEV STUFF, PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE. USE THE GENERAL FORM INSTEAD. Hope you understand the importance of keeping a dev thread uncluttered.
@sabrdawg - yes, you pull the logs after battery pull (or holding down power-vol up-home to reboot into recovery. And I am using the N7100 leaked 4.3 as a base and N9005 stock to port. I am not sure if the T889 will work with the N7100's firmware - if it does not and if you cannot get the 4.3 leak to work on your phone you should hold back (unless you first port the N7100's leak to your device).
My porting attempts or on hold. The base ROM I picked (n a whole bunch of them I checked) are having problems with missing files in the framework. I have used up my monthly internet quota in my 3G and also the add-on pack's quota (and do not have internet at home ). Whoever is attempting a port, please download a full ROM from sammobile(say, SM-N9005 - UK or Singapore for example) extract it and deodex it to use as a base for porting to our device (Read up this link under "CONVERSION OF STOCK TAR.MD5 LEAK TO CWM FLASHABLE FOR NEW AND UPCOMING DEVELOPERS" (towards the bottom 3/4th of the page) if you are not sure how to go about it. Finally here is a good guide about porting.
Note that it would be helpful if you have some experience in porting, debugging using logcat and other logs. In any case, if you are not at least knee deep into Linux, Android and generally some technical affinity, you should not be attempting this. All the best. I will give it a shot if I can whenever I get some internet connection I can use to download the ~1.5GB stock ROM.

Maybe you can use a custom rom based on the leak for note 2...and a custom rom based on the official android 4.3 for note 3 and try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957219
I dont have the note 2...or the note 3 to try this. But Im thinking maybe you can use wannamlite based on the leak fot note 2 and a wannamlite for note 3 (I really dont know if there is one).
Im not a dev but I use this metod to port some roms for my atrix and works ok.

So, in other words, one could take any 4.3 ROM out there for the T-Mobile Note 2, and any ROM based on the Samsung leak and do this?

I dont know....I made this for my atrix using cm7 roms and works ok...maybe this can be done in this case...I use some cm7 rom from the Motorola Photon (similar to the atrix but bigger screen) and a cm7 rom for the atrix....everything works ok.
Maybe someone can try that...I dont have the note 2...so...I cant do it

snote & aircommand

hi,
after trying custom roms with builtin note 3 apps i have come to a conclusion its just a ram eater. all i want is just two apps snote and aircommand. nothing more. could some one point out to a tutorial to do so or is it already available ?
NOTE: please dont point out to flash custom rom coz i have just come from it. YES. TRIED ALL AND THEY ARE ALL RAM EATERS!

Hi trickyburn. I am having issues connecting Gear 2 Neo with my S4. My S4 is already running Kitkat. Please can you share the instructions of how can I fix this issue ?

Good day Khotaghora, please note the following instructions worked for me after many hours of banging my head off brick walls and flashing different roms including going back to the latest stock from sammobile.
Make sure you remove the current gear manager.
Download and copy the following gear manager http://twosx.net/xdadev/Gear/1.7.031004/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_1.7.031004.apk to your device. Note, I have not supplied this, from what I can gather it was ripped off the s5 sources, thanks go to Omniwolf for supplying the apk's on XDA.
Ensure in your phones settings under security you have unknown sources ticked.
Install the apk, usually just click on the downloaded file from your favorite browser.
Make sure you have Bluetooth turned on.
I'm not sure if you need to, but at this point I paired the Gear2 with my phone, it will pair as a handsfree device oh the irony.
When you run the manager it will look completely different from the old image asking you to sync, I could see the device at the top of the screen, clicking on it fired up both the watch and the manager.
Good luck with your new device, here is hoping dev's start porting some apps to the Gear2, the store is looking a bit bare at the moment.

Hi trickyburn. Thanks a lot for explaining this into detail. I can confirm that I have managed to get the Gear 2 Neo working with my S4 following your instructions. I actual posted your URL on another forum and some more people have benefited from your post. I wish Samsung had released the latest version of Gear Manager before the release of Gear 2.
Cheers,
KhotaGhora

Check your versions before applying any old s5 based fix, the version 2 gear manager is based on 4.4.2 API's so wont work. the above mentioned 1.7.031004 does work on 4.3 however
4.4.2 based roms might be able to use the updates from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686
However note I have not tested these as i'm on 4.3 stock at the moment

Any Custom Roms For the GT T325 in the Near Future?

Hey, i just purchased the Galaxy Tab Pro T325, after looking into Flashing Custom Rom i came to find out there isn't any out, needles to say this is a GREAT device and would have thought to see several cooked up by know, what would be Awesome in my opinion would be a Custom Rom made from the Source of the Latest Galaxy S5, if its possible, that would be hot. i have the note 3 Running a Custom Rom From HyperDrive (Big Up to Them, Best Rom so far for the Note 3), its based off the S5 and its OFF the HOOK. Just a thought, will be here Patiently waiting, cause i love this device..!!!!!

from t311 to t325
I asked me the same. I changed from the Tab3 8.0 lte to the t325 and the only customs i found are for the wifi version.
The T325 is really the outstandinged Tab out there.
I had from nexus7, nexus7 2013, Acer, note8 every tab that reads good at the specs.
But this great tab is perfect.
I rooted it and and changed all things that are possible with xposed. Thats a good deal at the moment.
Not everybody would pay this price for a tablet.

I have a very basic rom I was working on until I broke my screen that u guys can try...nothing but the knox apps have been removed so anything else u don't want will need to be deleted directly from the zip or uninstalled after flash (I'm sure u can find a list of whats safe to remove somewhere on the site). This package has been deodexed & zipaligned but that's about it...u will probably need to download "supersu" & which will ask u to update the"su" binary (just select "normal" method when prompted) after u flash. As an added bonus...4 way multiwindow also known as quad view from the note pro 12.2 has been enabled, along with lockscreen shortcuts as well as multiuser & I also added the assistive widget flashlight back but it only shows up in the widget drawer NOT in the homescreen add widget list for some reason. Also...i have included a fix for using the screen mirroring function (please thank @esgie) with a custom kernel/recovery & enabled the art runtime in the developer options (although this has NOT been tested yet & does NOT work with xposed or deodexed roms which basically deafeats the purpose)

Truly appreciate it, it beats a BLANK, and thats what i can really use right now, something to lighten the load a bit.... Again sorry to read about the situation your going through with your device, i know it felt like a stab in the chest when it cracked on you, i would have call the company i purchased it from and caused a scandal that would have made them send me a new one... The Best of luck.... Bless... :good:

Hey T.D. UNO
I just received your message with your Custom Rom included for our Lovely T325, Im so excited to get this Rom Fired up on my device, Im downloading it as I write this Response, Will definitely Let you know how everything goes once I run it for a Few, Thanks again my Friend, your THE MAN..!!! I have my fingers crossed that this one boots up, I want a Custom Rom So bad that i tried flashing the Wifi only Versions on the 8.4 section hoping it would have boot, the worse i expected was not having 4g/LTE, however it FAILED, didnt even Boot... lol. :cyclops:

Ok, All's well.
Just finished flashing and it booted up, all is well thus Far, Seems to be running smoothly, i will Mess with it for a couple of Days to see how it goes, is there anything i should know or do..? What would be cool is if we can some how flash the transparent weather clock thats on the Note 3, would that be possible..? If theres anything else you need tested Im here, and i was wondering what is that other file you posted in your message, it stated something about Kernel "boot (1).img"..? And ilso was wondering how your device is coming along, i think i read that you Found the lCD & Digitizer you need , did you finally find it, if so how much did it set you back..? ok, thanks again I'll definitely keep in touch, if we can Hook this device to the MAX that'll be AWSOME. )))

Any way to get rid of Samsung's awful firmware?

I think we can all agree that Samsung's build of Android is.. well.. ****. So much crapware and stuff you don't need. Is there any way to get a pixel like experience on this tablet? Roms, mods, Xposed modules etc? All I want is a stock Android tablet with s pen so I can draw!

I'm waiting for a cool custom ROM for my Tab S4 as well. The most annoying thing for me is that Sasmung doesn't roll out monthly updates for this device.
There are some modified stock ROMS for the Tab S4 available at XDA. You can find them easily by using the search function.
I still use an original Sasmung stock ROM but I debloated it using ADB over USB. I googled for "debloat samsung galaxy" and found some information on how to debloat a Galaxy S8 using an USB cable and the adb software. But the procedure is technically the same for (all?) Samsung devices.
I used AppInspector to determine the apps that I want to debloat and wrote a little linux bash script that I used to debloat my Tab S4 and my Note 9.
If you don't like the Samsung Experience launcher you can install another one.

I dont think custom roms for S4 will ever happen (look at S3 section). Btw you have already many custom roms in treble section
