Develop Bugs

[Q] Where are the custom ROMs???

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....

ZTE Zinger aka Whirl 2, aka Prelude 2, aka Salem Z667, Z667G, Z667T ($10 Android GSM)

I cannot find a thread for the ZTE Zinger Z667T yet.
Maybe it is too new? Or am I searching badly?
Low end phone but it is a dirt cheap GSM ($10 !) yet fast dual core with KitKat 4.4.2
https://www.phonearena.com/phones/ZTE-Z667_id8985
The hardware buttons are WAY too bright and and haptic feedback is way too strong.
Hoping those can be addressed someday as well as reprogramming hardware buttons.
Framaroot and towelroot do not work on it. Bootloader rom replacement is probably a pipedream?
Apparently this phone is also sold as the "Whirl 2" same exact specs and internal model number (Z667G) for $10 at some dollar stores
This post is a must read for the possible future of these models:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ndroid-gsm-t2936545/post57312948#post57312948
2015-05-13 Whirl2 has been partially rooted (adb shell root)

I picked one of these up as well. I would be happy just with root, no need for a ROM here. I am curious how long it will take to get root access. I might play around with rooting, but really have no idea where to start at.

I have 7 of these! Would love to root them so I can run a VNC server on them.

Yeah, I tried Kingo Root as well. It ran for about 15 min and reset twice. Its doing something with it, but not rooting. I'd like vnc as well. Good luck guys!!

The only chance at root for now perhaps is for someone to go through all the permutations that geohot allows inside of towelroot via modstrings:
https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html
Hopefully zte did not patch it after June 3rd because then none of the futex bug root hacks are going to work and we might have to wait a long time for another exploit to be found.
I'll happily send one of these phones to any established developer who has proven they can root other phones without known exploits, no need to return it, PM me.
Or better yet, maybe we all can somehow contribute to a "bounty" for rooting it, which might motivate talented people.

count me in for a root also!

+1 for root, I'd love it

I'm not sure how to do this officially but I'll offer a 100K (100,000) dogecoin reward for any developer producing a working root for this device.
Note the reward is for the actual developer, not someone who just finds another tool that does it.
Less than 5% of dogecoin remains unmined so they are bound to increase a bit in value over time.
Maybe others can contribute to the reward as well.

And another 100K (100,000) for an opensource unlock calculator (from imei).

Awesome. Does anyone know if there is a better section for this?

Where would be the best section to post so a dev would see this? I'm sure we can get a real bounty going.

Picked some of these for Perk TV They run pretty well.

Tried a couple different versions, and no go on all of them. It say can't get a handle on it, permission denied off the bat.

How can we get some traction on this? I got $5 in my paypal account ready to roll.

All the stores are sold out in my area, but if I can get another one for $10 I'd gladly send it to someone with the skills to try and root it.

Yeah I would also like to see this rooted so I can VNC into it

Do you have a source for this? I am trying to figure it out also. I agree people do freak out too much though.

I don't know where I saw it but there are claims that the app can see other apps being used and they then ban you based on that.

Yeah I knew about that because of the app (I can't remember it now) that will emulate finger presses. But has anyone confirmed if VNC will get you banned?

[Q] p601 developement

Hi guys
is there any pages where i can read about android developement specially my p601 related
i see there is a lot of effort for a p600 surely if the developer dont have p601 there nothing will happen
as a p601 only misses the phone 3g part im quite sure it cant be to difficult to implement
all my tries so far didnt work. And google wasnt my friend so far to get successful
am a linux archlinux user so used to read lots stuff to get further but didnt find anything usefull so far
I would aprichiate some help to make bigger steps forward to keep our p601 alive. Dont have landline so need that modem part
Ai ya looks always buy devices not supported like my g800f
Any help welcome

[Q] Chances of AT&T root?

Hi all, sorry if this is an old question, but what are the chances of the G4 on AT&T being rooted eventually? I'm really interested in this phone and I may get it tonight, but I'd really like to know if there will be root availability in the future. Thanks so much for any responses! This looks like a great step up from my Galaxy S4!

dude, sit tight, wait - asking like a week after the phones been released is just ignorant

I wouldn't say it's ignorant at all. I'm just wondering if there's any hope at all compared to something like the Galaxy S6.

its pretty ignorant IMHO....definition of ignorant: "lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated" - - -asking a question like "the chances of the g4 being rooted" - do you want a percentage that is completely estimated or would you like me to call LG and AT&T and ask them what are the chances of it being rooted? you could research dev and try to root it yourself ....
i would say theres a 55% chance being that the intl version has been unlocked and rooted....
FYI, people still ask about the chances of Galaxy Note 4 being rooted, its been since September....you just have to sit tight and be patient or research dev and do it yourself

Again, I wanted to know if it was possible or if it's hopeless like the GS6. Sorry for trying to make an informed decision, I guess that makes some others salty.
Thank you for your answer, though. That's all I was looking for initially.

If you read around you would already have your answer

There's a root method for the AT&T S6, so why say it's hopeless? Duh.

Okay, I get it. Sorry for posing the question. I know how XDA works and I was pretty sure I did enough research. Sorry that I did not. My inquiry has been answered.

Don't worry about salty people. They don't understand simple social etiquette. They think that the internet allows them to be callused and heartless.
I would base there answer on how popular the phone is and the demand for root from the community. If those two things are high, the chances are good there will be a root method available. Doesn't promise that the method will be simple or in a timely manner but anything is possible with XDA. Or like the previous posts, if you're adventurous, you can try to do it yourself.

is the note 5 dead in here

Is the note five dead in here or still on the hunt for root

My understanding is that if you want root or unlocked bootloader, do NOT buy an AT&T device. The unlocked international version is capable of root and custom roms, from what I have read on the forums.

Yeah well I want to try to take a stab at it so point me were I can go to learn to mess with are I mean are only bootloader I have Kali liunx pc that's why I asked if there is a team working on any of this for note 5 if not I just want to do this for my self you guys do know we have oem unlock witch that is a good sign then you guys have found exploits to I have not upgraded to nugget I'm on mm how many years has it been since this phone been out like it was one said to me in another forum u can't expect someone to do it for u all I ask is you point me in the direction to mess with are bootloader only and also tackle knoxs my other ? Is can I downgrade I'm asking all these questions in one post because like I said I want to do this for me I'm learning wifi hacking and I want to learn Android cause iPhone sucks I have note 4 unlocked T-Mobile but the software sucks or meaning custom roms they have yes I know all att bootloader are locked dose not mean they can't be hacked u got to take effort on wanting to do it anyways I'm post pic of what I got I'm willing to put in work if I new were to start

Even googling stuff can help https://www.bestandroiddatarecovery.com/unlock-samsung-bootloader.html

I'm glad I'm just sending this phone back you guys are no help a bunch of wusses to me but what ever going to T-Mobile

Most of us couldn't understand what you wanted. Mainly because the only time you used any form of punctuation was when you were too damn lazy to type the word "question" and used a question mark instead.
But hey, since you already thanked us for nothing, then that's exactly what you'll get. Have a great time figuring it out on your own.
