So bought the SM-T110 for my kid to use recently, why is there so little dev for these?
2-3 custom roms at best?

I miss ROMs for it too... i DESPERATELY need a AOSP or CM ROM... Touchwizz is such a trash...
hey
just a suggestion,
you guys have the device so, start developing.
read, learn, grow, contribute.
m
For people who have never touched the coding area how long do you think it will take to learn to develop? 6 months? a year? sometimes the ones who know what they are doing should be the ones doing it.

I was so beyond elated when I got my Galaxy Note 8 (N5110) last night... couldn't want to flash this puppy and ROM it with some Cyanogen loveliness; but to my incredible surprise, I can't find any custom ROMs that don't have the Touch Wiz crap on it. WTH? This tablet was highly rated and I know it's not abscure so I'm wondering why there's so little development on this little wonderous machine. Ideas? Links that I've missed? Winning lottery numbers? All are welcome.
instead of asking what are others plan on doibg for your tablet wouldn't it be morw productive to ask and learn how to do it yourself?
it seems rather rude to ask for someone else to donate their free time with no compensation.

There's already a few threads like this, so not sure there's a point to another one. Either way, there is CivX custom rom and kernel, but yes it's based on stock TW. Emwno is working on a cm10.1 port too, and beanstown was supposed to develop a custom rom but that has now been delayed. Hopefully he will do it though at some point in the future. Aside from that not many devs seem to have the device which is a shame because the Note 8 rocks.
nothing more annoying on XDA then someone complaining about the lack of free software...quick whining, and learn how to do it yourself, so you can spend endless hours of YOUR personal life creating something that people can post complaints about, request things that you dont put in the rom, and just generally expect you to spend all of your free time upgrading, and improving for them every time they want something..
I agree with you it does rock. Just xame from a Lenovo A2109 where there was a LARGE dev community but no support for Mac users. Thought for sure there would be a crap load of devs here given the Samsung brand and its answer to the iPad mini. Personally, I think its much getter then the mini even though I'm a Mac girl... note: not an Apple fangirl... just a best in class user.
Anyway, thanks for telling me what to look for and which developers to keep and eye out for. Its painful to read post after post and subsequently page after page trying to find answers to my questions. I do appreciate it.

First and foremost, this post wasn't about *****ing... it was asking a question and expressing puzzlement. Second of all, I asked no one to DO anything or develop anything for "my device". You added nothing useful or enlightening so who's the one *****ing now? Hint: it's not me!

For every ROM that has worked for me, I have donated monetarily. For one device, I actually BOUGHT a unit for development. I've been on this board for several years and have never asked for anything except answers to my questions.
Second of all, I'm a web designer/developer who donates LOTS of time to those who don't know or ask for help. I don't ask for compensation; I ask for them to carry the info forward. It seems rather rude for you to assume and judge rather then ask.

"puzzlement"? what are you puzzled about?
You've been a member here for SIX years; you know where the dev section is in this thread; the roms that are there are what we have at this point..
dont try to "veil" your complaint about so "little development" by saying you weren't complaining, just "asking a question"
We lose enough fantastic developers here when people start threads like this, so please don't encourage the few folks that are dev'ing for this device to leave as well..
end of discussion
Gentlemen please stop making personal attacks.
I am sure she knows where is the place to find a custom rom although she doesn't mean this.
So if there is nothing constructive to add in this thread then just don't post.
Thank you.

maybe I just misread your enthusiasm for the new tablet as cracking the whip on those hard working guys who do what thwy do and ask for norhing back. so If I mistook you excitement as a demand then I apologize.
the gnote 10.1 took a good while to get some dev work on it. for a good while all we had was root, which really wasn't bad at all. It's still not as active as say the s4 or gn2 development, but it still looks like qualiry work. I'd suppose it wouldn't be too hard to port a rom over, but then again what do I know, I ain't no dev.

I was under the impression you have to keep a lot of the Touch Wiz to keep the pen enabled. Otherwise it's just a generic 8" android tablet.
Thank you... I appreciate that; very much.

I was very pleased that rooting was so easy. I had to unlock the bootloader in the HTC was a flippin' pain in the arse so I was THRILLED to learn we didn't have to do that on the Samsung. So, clearly I'm very glad to have root... and have deleted a lot of the Samsung crapware as I'm sure most of us have as well. Though I do have to ask... what is a "gnote"? I had a GTab once which was actually the Viewsonic GTablet. However, I've never heard of the GNote...
I'm not a software/hardware dev either... just web... and so wish I had time to learn. I'd be all over it like a gnat on poop!

Isn't the Touch Wiz on regular non-Note Samsung devices? For example the Galaxy II & III phones? Though I am just guessing as this is my first Samsung Android device.
*smile* Thank you. However, I am a she.

yep, pretty much all samsung devices, except for the nexuses and the s4 developer ed have touch wiz. the big downside of using cm or aokp is that you'll lose pressure sensitivity with your pen (or at least that's how it was a few months ago and i haven't really check up on it).
I think its fine the way it is....

Hey all,
Now that the Tab S has been rooted, what custom ROM and/or kernel would you reccomend? The Tab S is my first foray into android, having been on iOS since the Iphone 2g, and have always been in the jailbreak scene, but I literally know NOTHING about android. Was hoping to get some recommendations from you guys.

Well so far none exist. You'll see them in the development section when they do. If I were you I would wait on one from a certified xda developer instead of someones first try. Be patient. Make sure you only flash something made for your model device. Flashing ROMs and kernels is serious business. You can break your new toy.
Hey everyone. First time here. Just rooted myVirgin Mobile LG LG740 Volt on 4.4.2 Ive never ROOTED a phone before.
What do you suggest i do now? Show me, im willing to learn. I wanted a custom ROM, are their any? Any beginner threads? Im new, not an idiot. I can and will learn This thread is not a question, its seeking advice and suggestions merely. And just wanted to introduce myself!

OK welcome mate ,
First you have to find your device forum on xda , I am saying this because unlike other social medias - in xda each devices are different communities.
If you wanna improve your phone's UI , speed and something like that , you have to install a custom rom that is designed for your device (custom roms are created by other people, so there is a chance to get brick or losing some features from your device )
Just have a look at this:- http://www.google.com/url?q=http://...kQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNGysPYLhtTr9LFpYLPtXE5JV679Xg
In xda , there is a button called thanks button , just press it if I help you
hey I'm interested to know how you accomplished this

Hey I'm Salena, I'm surprised you say you rooted the lg volt 4.4.2 kit Kat I've only had mine for a couple weeks now and have been researching how to root it since day one. I've always rooted any device I have usually it's not rocket science, but I've had a damn hard time figuring this one out, I'm on boost but I believe it's the same kernal version as Verizon . Plz share this helpful info with a fellow hacker, also nice to introduce yourself, welcome
hi there.. i'm new here..
i want to flash lollipop on my girlfriend's phone.. i have no clue.
which one is better in battery and performance and bug free?
it's important.. if anythings goes south she'll kill me i guess.. loves her phone more than me..
E988 i think. kitkat is on her phone now..
hi there.. really? nobody knows?
Nobody cares! People ask which ROM is the best question too many times, enough to form it's own threads, so if you really need somebody to tell you which is the best, use the search function. Otherwise my suggestion is to try different ROM, start out with the official ones such as blisspop and cm12. All the ROM here is mostly based on cm, I'm currently using Bliss pop, which is the best ROM IMO. Which is just my opinion, and that's why nobody cares to reply because it's just an opinion.

thanks man for reply.. at least there are some people who own these phone tried some rom and know about the bugs or ect..
i own g pro 2 and happy to help out.. but a quick and short answer does not kill anyone..we are here to learn and teach and share..
Sure thing, but this device is getting up there in term of smart phone years, also the number of subscribers have decreased in recent months because they too have move on to other devices. Those are two reasons why no one replies to you.

Why there are so few mods and ROMs for m5 ?
It doesn't look promising....
I've recently bought a E5603 as a Christmas present for my young son and wanted to root and mod it so it's similar to my Z2.
The Z2 forum was buzzing with mods, hacks, ports, roms etc., it was amazing. But the Z2 is several years old now and most people have newer phones (the M5 for example) so the forum has died down now. As the M5 is a newer model I was hoping there would be more happening here too.

I think it's because cpu
I love the M5, it's a fantastic phone with great hardware and specs. But after visiting this forum over the past few months and seeing such a lack of activity it now depresses me coming here.
I also have a Motorola G 2015 and the activity over there is awesome. And compared to the M5 its more of a budget phone. But maybe that's the reason, there are many more owners of the Moto I guess.
Its because its based on MTK SoC... roms are notorious hard to find for these for whatever reason... Ive got a BLU Pure XL based on same SoC; I am here looking for resources to get CM or LOS working on it...
Is for Mediatek SoC.
The only solve is, port from other devices with similar SoCs.
I wish I was talented enough to port or create a ROM.
Maybe its time I tried to learn more than just altering files and flashing zips
Some ROMs needing testers

There seems to be some ROMs under development out there needing testers. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m5/development
I also posses an Xperia M5 and the stock ROM is way too memory-using to me.
The best thing to do would be testing these ROMs, check which one is the most stable and then help developing this one. I could give a hand there.

I'd be happy to help with testing but I don't have easy access to the M5 . It's my sons, so I don't have the chance to use it regularly as he doesn't live with me
3 months have passed.
Still no further development?

Still no further development on m5 nougat?
I'm looking into lineage atm for the M5, This isn't me promissing anything, it's me saying there might be hope.

If you get the Ril working be sure to let us know how you did it in this thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/development/tuba-lineageos-14-1-t3878212 :good:
We can't seem to find the piece of the puzzle that's missing which is very frustrating indeed.
