Porting CM - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone tried to port from the Galaxy Tab 2 light (Wi-Fi only) to the Tab3 light (Wi-Fi only t110)? I tried this morning but a lot of the files are missing from the CM10 build for the tab3. I got the ROM to flash but it wouldn't even boot past the kernel.. I know that we can get CM on the tab3 light T110 but I an no dev. Not even close. I just thought that since the tab3 was a replacement for the tab2 then it shouldn't take too much to get it accomplished. But as usual, I think I an way over my head on this one as well.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Worth rooting and flashing other ROM?

So I'm getting a new and sparkly Galaxy Note 8 in a few months for my birthday, and I do know how to root and flash.
I'm wondering if it would be worth it to flash a custom ROM onto the device, because the S-Pen relies on so many Samsung applications to be useful, with out the Samsung apps, the S-Pen is nothing but a small finger. (Except, would the proximity work with the S-Pen and jelly bean?)
I'm most definitely going to root my device and install my favourite apps that require root.
Could you please tell me if it's really worth doing, Thanks.
(Sorry for noob-ish post, I've only posted a few times)
[EDIT]: So I'm now thinking weather I should get the new nexus 7 over the note 8, I want the note 8 for it's spen abilities, but the new nexus 7 is an easy-to-root straight from Google device. Thoughts?
I'm rooted, but still on stock. In fact, I intend to stay on stock 4.1.2 because that way I can have cascading floating multi - windows which are just yummy!

I love my note 8.0 . rooted and installed civs reflex ROM. No problems for me, just lack of apps2sdcard.. So I can't get a lot of the good games. Other than that its perfect IMO. Nexus 7 seems just ok, this tablet (may sound weird) but my gf share the tablet by her using pinterest and I'd just watch YouTube or video player while she does that. Multitasking ftw

Buy the new Nexus 7 2013 (2gb ram) with android 4.3 . There is a universal issue with the galaxy note 8: screen momentary freezing, and no one know if it is hardware or software or if the next android update can fix it or not.

It is not hardware cause I've been on custom rom/kernel since day one and never experienced a screen freeze. Betting it will be fixed in future Samsung update.

Must agree, no problems running civs reflex ROM. I know the screen freezing issue because I've been on stock ROM and noticed it. It is very annoying.

I downloaded civ reflex rom last night and I am experiencing the same freezing issue as with the stock 4.1.2 firmware.
I have also flashed CM 10.1 and there were no screen freezing at all. But CM sucking too much battery, I reverted back touchwiz.
The civs rom was created based on stock samsung firmware so I think the bug on this rom is the same with the stock firmware.
I think Samsung will not put out 4.2.2 for the note 8, but instead it would be the 4.3 update, and this would take at least 5 or 6 more months.
I think I am gonna sell this one and buy a nexus 7 (2)
Are u sure u downloaded reflex and not flexbeam? Also I think u have to select his modified rom, if u don't u get the stock kernel. Perhaps I'm wrong, I can't remember my setup. I just know I'm on reflex and running his 2.2 kernel, no screen freeze. I really hated that screen freeze, wouldn't have rooted if it didn't have that!

I'm going to buy a Nexus 7 too, but for personal use, and I will keep the Note 8 for work. To me, they are too different and can't be used for the same purpose. I need the 8 inch screen and the s pen for work. And I need the smaller size and better than retina ppi for comfortably reading eBooks on it. (Having an affordable device with LTE that I can switch at will between Verizon, AT&T or T-mobile, is a nice bonus too!) The screen freezes on the Note 8 have not interfered with my work. But they are really really bugging me when I try to use it for anything other than taking notes.

[Q] Hows the rom development going for the tab 3?

Is there any update on the progress on any roms for the Gtab 3? I know we are over excited for it.
At this point we only have root...... once my pc is fixed I'll be working on cm 10.1 and 10.2......but that could be a bit yet

Please work on it, we're patient but do it :'( I got a WiFi only Galaxy Tab 1 and it's absolutely depressing to see how there's not a single worthy custom ROM.... It's capable of much but no.... It was just left to die... Guess no one would like that for our GT3
I synced cm 10.1 last night......now I have to try and port this over.......this is my first port.......we also need a working recovery before roms start popping.
Do you have an 7 inch or an 8?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
I have the wifi only 7 inch... I'm not a dev or even close but I'm SO up to learn or help anyhow
Kewl, that's me, new to building android.......I've built plenty Linux systems from scratch though......... and there are a ton of good help topics out there too...... fingers crossed

Do you know any good tutorial/lesson/whatever or somewhere I could learn something to help? Many of us want good ROMs but sadly not many know or can... I don't want to be with my arms crossed :S
Also crossing fingers for all the coders and others who are spending lots of hours into developing great roms! Hope to see a good one for my 10.1
Good luck guys!

Well, I now have rooted the factory software for the SM-T211 GSM/WIFI.
And I have a new theory on how I'm going to get recovery working........ I just have to figure out how to build it first.........lol
But once I'n done I should have a Odin flashable stock firmware that has CWM or TWRP......... let see how that pans out.......
Anyone who has built a recovery should PM me so we can talk.
Thanks!!
Here if you need me....
I too am just now learning the finer points of android (or, programing in general, for that matter) but I do have a galaxy tab 3 7.0, am a fairly quick learner who's eager to do so and I can follow instructions... So whatever help I could be- I'd be honored. Just let me know. Regardless, many thanks, much love and all due respect.

I have a t310 = Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0.
Which I have sucessfully rooted/Busybox/Terminal working.
Will anyone be working on a custom firmware with UMS (USB Mass storage) working.
As I am sick of transfering MicroSD from PC to Tablet 10 times a day.
I mostly transfer txt/html/js/pl and py files to my tablet. So MTP and PTP aren't much use to me.
I just have bought Tab 3 10.1 and can help with testing etc., I just need better rom than the samshieeeet

[Q] Bought SII with unstable ROM

Hi everyone!
After not being around for a while since my nexus 4 died I bought a samsung galaxy SII (SGH-T989) used.
The phone is rooted (I never rooted any phone before) and it has a 4.2.2 ROM that is unstable in my opinion. Apps continuously stop responding.
Im familiar using the recovery and changing roms.
So I need to know what ROM could I install in the phone? (4.2.2)

Look in developer area there is a plethora to choose from, try them all is what I recommend. You will find one you like, everyone has different tastes. But 4.2.2 I recommend my Hellybean from 20130801
Goodbye SII
Just for general statistics, I burned the MB of my one week old galaxy sII, can't even get it into download mode. It's a hard brick.
Thanks for all of your responses..

Rom Development

Can anyone help explain the lack of Rom development on the 10.1 ? Those who have had it would you recommend returning it for the note 8.0 ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm wishing I had got the tab 2 10.1 instead of this. I thought there would be more intrest in development by now. My last tab was the dell streak 7, and I just can't believe I have bought another orphan. At least samsung says we are getting kitkat. It's just so disheartening to see all those choices of custom roms in the tab 2 10.1 forum.

[Q] Porting ROM

Hi guys, I've read through other threads but I believe my case is very different and felt I should ask. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Wifi and I really want to put Kit Kat (4.4.2) on the device but after days of searching, it seems like there has not been a roll out for it yet, even for just the Wifi version. So (please tell me if I'm wrong), I thought maybe I could take a Kit Kat ROM (even stock) from another device such as the Galaxy Note 10.1 and port it to this device. I'm a developer but not for Android. Is this possible?
Or maybe can you point me to some beta version of Kit Kat for this device? Is there any way to get it?
I'm not a dev, but porting cm I think is not possible, I wanna say it has to be built from source.
And flashing a ROM for a different device will only leave you with a brick
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You can try anything you want. Who knows, you might even be the creator of a new operating system. But then again, you might eventually take your brick to the recycle center. One will not know until one tries.
However, why not just wait for Kit Kat and let the "professional" developers at Samsung do the work for the P5210. I am sure it is not that far behind the others.
galaxy tab 3 10.1 should get kk4.4.2 soon, I think.
just be patient.
