[Q] How to Develop a Custom Rom? - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) & I saw that there were no custom roms for it currently. So, I thought it would be fun to see if I could make my own custom rom for it. I was wondering where to start, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! Also, i'm looking to try to get a clean kitkat rom (like cyanogenmod) or edit my stock rom and remove some apps and change settings.
Lastly, I was reading that there is a problem developing for exynos 5 or something like that. Can someone explain on that to me.
I really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Anyone???

I'm wondering the same thing,
How do you extract/decrypt the official firmware?
Followed some of the tutorials on the forum but didn't work for our sm-t520...

Here ya go.. There are some really nice guides in this forum..http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development

LoL how did I miss that one xD, thanks for pointing it out
Lets try that one...

I could really be without touchwiz.... Aosp or something, but I will probably just sell it and buy a new nexus 10 / 8, when they are available. The resolution was nice on this though.

Alright so i'm trying to make a stock unbloated rom for the sm-t520. However, I can't figure out how to get a custom recovery for this device. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
Edit:
Looks like I answered my own question =) Found it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722900
Hopefully, now i'll be able to compile a debloated stock rom!

[Q] What is a suitable ROM for Galaxy Fame S6810p?

Hello,
after having had a HTC Desire HD I have upgraded (actually downgraded) to a Samsung Galaxy Fame S6810p.
However, as I am not very satisfied with TouchWiz and the bloatware on the phone I would like to flash a 'vanilla' ROM on the device, a task which is quite new for me, but something I would like to learn.
Having read myself into ROM Managers, Goo Managers, etc. I have not been able to find any ROM suitable for the S6810p. Therefore here few basic questions before I continue reading on:
- can I only used ROMs that have been adapted to my phone?
- Is there a vanilla ROM for my phone (Samsung Galaxy Fame s6810p)
- and if not, how much is the effort to port one to my phone?
I had used the search function looking for entries for Galaxy Fame etc and have not found anything (apart from rooting the phone)
Thanks

1st yes you can only use a rom adapted to your phone
2nd vanilla rom? I don't think there is any custom rom for this model
3rd you have to try anyway first find a phone that suits your hardware specification and port a rom from that device
nobody knows a suitable rom for this device?

Did you try this to see if it will work?
So...
So has anyone found a CWM for this phone yet? It's driving me crazy! I'm starting to regret buying this phone because of this. How is it that nobody has done a port yet? The phone has been out for more than a year.
I'm wondering what else will pop up for this.

I'm in the same situation of many other users: this phone is really slow with the stock rom after some months of medium usage. I'm not a developer, I really don't know hot to create a new rom, but I can use my Galaxy Fame as a tester for a great new rom made in xda :good:
A pure Android experience like Cyanogenmod should be very useful for this phone, it could be much more light and smooth than the stock rom.
Many others phone (for example Galaxy W, Galaxy S Plus...) has some good roms that are CM based. It's a pity that Galaxy Fame hasn't any specific section on this incredible Forum I'm sure that many people will find interesting and useful a Galxy Fame Section with Android Development, Q&A, ecc...
Once you root the phone you can at least disable/freeze some of the bloatware that comes with the phone using Titanium Backup Pro, but yes, a clean custom ROM would make a world of difference and hopefully help with the freez-ups.
Also an overclock/undervolt kernel would be useful.
anyone tried the cwm posted?
CLOCK WORK MOD, or CWM, is not a rom, so does not count, i also am regreting buying this phone for the lack of custom roms..........gues we can't have anything, and have to move along to other devices.

[Q] help me choose a ROM

I'm pretty new to all of this and still a bit tentative. I have searched quite a bit and learned a lot but I still generally feel overwhelmed when I try to read threads specific to certain ROMS.
I recently got a Tab 3.7 (SM-T210R) and have managed to root it and install PhilzTouch.
I also installed RocketTab Lite which was good but I realise what I want is all the Samsung stuff gone, so it feels more like a simple android device.
So, I'm trying to figure out what ROM would suit me best.
Also, it is only 8GB and even with almost no apps (or media) it seems to be almost a third full. So far I haven't got Link2SD to work. Will another ROM allow me to move apps to the SD like I could in my phone?
Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

Thanks. Can you flash a Kit Kat ROM on a tab that has jellybean, or do you have to upgrade first?
Also, that says it is for a Tab 3.10, would it work with the Tab 3.7?

CAGrom is made only for the Tab 3 10. You can find roms for the 7 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-7
I don't know anything about the roms for that device. though, XDA generally prohibits suggestions as it is all about experiencing and experimenting finding the right fit that you want. I suggest looking at the roms at the link above and see if any might interest you there. good luck.

Need a little help folks.

Hello all,
Not new at all to rooting and roms, the problem I'm having is trying to figure out what I might need to do in order to get my phone up and running the way I want. I'm currently rooted running Android version 4.4.4. I'm still on the stock TouchWiz. I was wondering if there are any roms out there for this android version. All I can really seem to find on the site are 5.0 and above. I really don't want to upgrade if I don't have to, but I really want something highly customizable if it exists. There have always been plenty of great roms out there for Samsung devices...was hoping maybe someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks to all in advance!
Look in the development section. You'll have to drill down but there are Kitkat roms there.
Your missing out on some great stuff staying on Kitkat.

Its the best rom going for this phone. N5 port that actually works. It's great.

[HELP] Samsung Galaxy Pro SM-P900

Hey guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to this. Last time I installed any recovery or flashed a ROM was on my Nexus 4, years ago. I have found my Samsung Galaxy Pro (10.1") SM-P900 lying around and this thing is still on Android Version 5.0.2.
I'd like to install a recovery, root, and flash a ROM, or an upgraded software version. I'm sorry if that doesnt make sense but I just want this device to start running faster and I'd like to slowly get back to flashing ROMs on it depending on my liking.
Could you guys kindly link me to other threads that deal with my exact problem? Or please let me know here what I can or at least where I can start? Any thread I look for already has people on advanced steps or they're using a different device. ANY help is appreciated. Thank you so much.
Well, you should start here. Lots of reading though!

First Time Flash

My Note 2 is still my only phone since it was purchased many years ago and have stayed with android 4.3. Unfortunately, hardly any apps are compatible anymore so flashing is the only way to continue using my phone. I want to avoid bricking my phone so I would appreciate answers to some questions.
I have model sgh-i317. It appears from what I've read that N7105 roms are compatible, but N7100 roms are not? Also, there are roms which state tolteatt. Which roms are compatible with my device?
It seems a lot of roms are also now EOL. I need suggestions for a nougat rom that is stable and preferably based on touchwiz as I guess it is the only way the s pen continues to work? Or compatible with add-on apps, GMD etc? If possible, I would really like to continue using my
s pen.
Are there any other integral issues that do not work/disappear when you flash/upgrade from 4.3 to nougat? I know there is variability depending on the rom, but I just need to know if any other major thing is going to change. I have been unable to find this information.
Is there a way to continue to use Samsung calendar as I'm assuming gapps is going to replace it with Google calendar?
I just want to be able to continue using my note 2 for as long as possible. Obviously no one can know for sure, but those who have been doing this for a while would be more likely to know which roms/developers are more likely to continue to be supported.
I know people are apprehensive about suggesting roms, because it's based on personal preference, but I would really appreciate suggestions just so I can continue to use my phone, and if possible keep the features as close as possible to 4.3 though I realize many features will be changed/different. If that's not possible, I understand.
Just recommendations for the top 3 most stable/popular roms that have the least amount of battery drainage compatible with my device would be really helpful.
Can someone please just confirm the correct roms for my sgh-i317 device. N7100, N7105, and/or tolteatt?
Rom help!
Can someone please help me to be able to continue to use my Note 2? It is extremely difficult to find information as everything is being abandoned and I can't even view certain things on xda even with desktop mode. Just need a link to 1 rom for sgh-i317, tolte/N7105, that a person has used and knows is stable based on touchwiz/probably marshmallow so s-pen works. I would really appreciate it.
Tolte roms are what you want. TouchWiz roms only go up to kit Kat 4.4.4. If you need a newer version of Android, you will have to give up TouchWiz. You will lose some spen functions and mhl tv-out.
Need a link
Do you know where I can find a marshmallow rom that is stable and has any spen functionality?

I too am searching for a rom for my device as well and everything is pretty abandoned... I found a few when I used google search but their download link dont work.
I also have the I317 and didnt care to upgrade the OS to a custom ROM cos everything worked fine on it b4 but now some apps are not just compatible any more so a ROM upgrade will be better to give it more life time.
I'll let you know (with links) once I find one that works.
Take care.
Cheers.
Thanks!
I would really appreciate that!

I found the Resurrection Remix OS 5.8.5 based on Lineage OS 14.1/Android 7.1.1. it's pretty smooth and I've found no bugs for now.
It's for Galaxy Note 2 N7105 but works fine on my At&t Note 2. Below is the link to it's XDA page then you can download from there.
