I recently acquired this phone which is not rooted and bone stock. Is it possible to use themes since the os can run theme store, I installed it after downloading the apk but it doesn't show up anywhere
Unfortunately I don't think so. Themes apply to the entire system UI so if it's not set up to accept themes then it won't work. You basically have to run a rom like Nseven or another that has theme store support if you want themes.

Understood. I've been trying to root this phone but there's no particular way to make it work. Could you link me towards it?
Also what is your experience with running the port of note 7?

Sure, I followed this guide here- https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...asy-guide-how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-t3454593
It may take you a few tries, some parts are dependent on timing cause you have to kind of rapid-fire throw commands at ADB, but it does work.
As for the port, I've been running it for about 6 weeks now and it's pretty great. I've tried various other roms but I always come back to Nseven.

ROOTSide ROM
Base Flipside ROM with root/busybox/unknown sources enabled. Only thing different in this rom than rooting it yourself is you get to check/uncheck unknown sources. Yes, that means you can turn unknown sources ON and OFF! I have a clockworkmod recovery folder zipped up for distribution, but I want to post a full-fledged ROM zip file for the masses. PM me, and I will send you the ZIP file that I have right now.
What you get:
base install for the flipside (AT&T) with motoblur ready to set up. It is the exact same thing as doing a factory reset, but you get all the benefits of superuser with busybox and the addead feature of having unknown sources checkbox in the settings.
I will work towards a deoxed version this weekend as well.
No custom bootscreen (yet). No custom anything, really.
Almost There
I am currently in the middle of Deodexing the image. I have added in wifi tethering, and ensured it will have superuser and busybox pre-packaged. Next step is pushing this to my wife's phone and not having her get a pretty brick in return. If all goes well, I will be posting the image by morning light (CST).
Fingers Crossed!
Well
Things didn't go too well with my first build attempt. Appears to be a permission issue with the /system folder. I will sleep on it, and give it a second go in the morning. Sorry for the apparent "tease". If you want a faster build, I could use some other devs working with me.
Hey man, sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up...I already found a way to get the root with unknown sources checked, so i'm just gonna wait for the deoxed version! Hope it goes well as you try again.
Current Issues
unable to deodex the following:
/system/app/AABSync.odex
/system/app/blur-services.odex
Will try to load to phone without dodexing those two files. Hopefully all will go well.
Me too...good luck!!

Glad to see some work on this device, I love the form factor but it's obviously not very popular with devs...
Very interested to see this come around. I would like to streamline the wife's phone. Her battery life is a 1/3 of my rooted and flashed X10. Sadly though I am NOT a Dev nor even a cook.
I would have had something sooner, but I ran into issues not related to the ROM. Still working on it. Anybody have an idea for upgrading the CWM from the one we can currently use?
so I was curious, I was able to get to unlock mode with an sqlite thing and it worked just fine for me, but have you been able to knock out the bloat and stuff? cause it sounds like the makings of a custom rom lol
you know what the turtle said.. slowly but surely I will win this race

Is it possible to get CM7, or it's a problem with a locked kernel?
Ok, I just got a new phone for the Mrs., so I can break the flipside and unbreak it as much as I like.
Time for some real fearless development lol.

So check this out...I messaged the guy at modmymobile and asked how things were going becuase I heard people were having problems getting an updated CMW and this is his response:
"been sittin on the updated cwm recovery binaries and been draggin my feet/takin a break the past week or 2. i'll throw something out soon, but cant commit to a timeframe, sorry."
Looks like things are on the up and up...stay patient everyone
GOOD JOB!!!,

I can't install CM7, it reboots and locks up, then I have to reinstall froyo. It never worked when I had eclair either.
Can't seem to find anything for the newest version of Fresh ROM 4.2 that works. I have tried things for the past version and it just throws my fresh load screen through a constant loop. Just looking for some themes and a way to remove the time from the status bar.... (their was a method in 3.5, but it gets the phone stuck on the htc load screen). Thanks

There are no themes for Fresh 4.2 ROM at this time. This is a pretty much stock ROM with few numerous improvements, so any MOD that is not ROM-specific, but works with the latest GB OTA, should flash fine. Again, you have to make sure these MODs are NOT designed for a specific ROM.
To remove clock from the status bar see this post:

and scroll down to options 6, 7, and 8.

Thanks for the thread for the time removal.

Hey buddy, I am also looking for a theme to mingle with fresh 4.2 I've been looking but haven't found anything, not even generic themes mentioned already that work with any gingerbread roms. If you find anything let me know, and if I find anything I will let you know.
Me too!
After a slightly rocky start (had to re-wipe, re-flash) I've found this ROM to be the bomb! If I could just add back the pull down menu, I'd be in seventh heaven...

I appreciate the link but it's kind of overwhelming. Honestly I'd rather pay someone else to give me the pull down back.
Tried Widgetsoid - nice app but couldn't get the configuration I really wanted.
All I really want is that pull down...but I can live without it. Otherwise I couldn't be happier with Fresh!

The kitchen is "full". But it looks as though there may have been folks who have cooked up their own stuff that would work with gingerbread roms. Is there anyway that we can tell and download someone elses concoction?
I am rooted and I like the stock ROM from Sprint. But I like some of the elements of Sense 3.0. Is there any way to port some of the elements i.e. the lockscreen, the battery percent, the app drawer, recent apps in the taskbar, etc.? I have tried simply moving the .apk files between ROMs but that does not work. Are there any .zips I can flash to achieve what I want without changing the actual ROM? Or is there a way I can edit my current ROM and make a .zip from that and flash essentially making my own ROM? I have searched and none of the flashing I have found or done has worked aside from just changing ROMs.

Its not hard, I dual boot between ubuntu and linux. A word of advice: IF you want the windows partition to see the ubuntu partition, you need to use ext 2 or 3, it won't see it if its in ext 4.
Yeah. I've used Ubuntu before, as well as many other distros. Ubuntu is the most simple probably. I'll post when I have the kitchen up and running. Again thanks for the help.

:thumbup: this ^
If you mean thank it I already did.
I just bought one! and love CM since the release of my first android phone, the Samsung Galaxy S2
There are only custom roms for the 8.4 and the 10.1 version.
There are no custom ROMs available for this device now, and i hate the slurpy/fancy samsung interface.
I am willing to pay for it, for the first nice and clean nightly CM 11 rom + CWM/TWRP recovery and working Gapps for this device.
This device is out for a while now and there are still no custom roms for.
So i hope there is somebody who can help, to get the custom roms madness for this device getting started.
I got you covered.
I can make a stock custom rom which has all the samsung junk removed so the tablet can go faster.
I want a rooted aosp rom, like cyanogenmod or something.
Are you able to do that?

Unfortunately, I can't. (I have a 10.1 and I want the same thing). The thing is the processor is a exynos 5 or something like that and it is (as I have read and understood) quite hard to do. I've tried to learn about making it but trust me it is much more harder than it seems. Even my 10.1 doesn't have CM yet. Still if you like I can make a you a stock debloated rom so it will at least run faster than what you have now.

Well for now it sounds ok to me.
Is it rooted as well?
How debloated is it? Is samsung touchwiz removed?
That's what i'm hating the most. The settings app with tabs, i like the whole settings menu in cm.
And how fast can it see the light?
If its very nice, i can donate something for your good and hard work.

No, I tried it, and unfortunately it doesn't work for the 12.2 version. The internal, as well as the external sd card both are locked, meaning you can't even update any apps, or saving any data... you get an error message 110, from Play Store.

What about an overclock kernel? I debloated my Galaxy tab 12.2 already but have yet to successfully overclock it. I've been looking everywhere for an improved kernel or something to improve the performance, debloating didn't help it that much so a kernel or custom rom would be the next bet. Anyone point me in the right direction?

Download, advance wipe in TWRP (except internal/external storage) and see if it boots to CM. Then post what's working and what's not
Enjoy if it works!

Great initiative,
I tried making an install. Unfortunately everything halts at the cm welcome screen with the message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped", Maybe, I'm not too surprised since we're using a wifi-version. But, it actually boots up, so there are great expectations for a cm11 port, within short.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Hey everyone,
So here is an update: (At school so don't have much time but...) This should fix the phone error. :good: However, I am pretty sure Wi-Fi isn't going to work ATM. Since i'm at school can't download things internet is tooo slow, so what someone can do if they want is to download a touchwiz rom for your device or just plain stock rom. Then, on the download go to /system/etc and there should be a folder called Wi-Fi. Copy that to system/etc in the CM rom. And then flash the CM Rom. If Wi-Fi works go ahead and upload the link and post it here.

Just as you suspected the wifi didn't work initially. However, I followed your instructions for the update, and there it was. Here's the link to the updated cm11-4.4.4 w. wifi Currently, there seems to be no access to the internal SD card, as well as the external.
I also have difficulties in finding a compatible gapps, any ideas? Could it be due to the SD card issue? It starts up, but playstore crashes at first search.

Great start Shaheer, apparently I'm running into a lot of the same problems that you initially ran into building the T-520 port.
Could I suggest that you start a thread in the development section for this ROM? I believe that I'm one of the few people having noticed your work, and that's only due to your message. Then we can get a few more people to chip in for heavy testing, at least the initial runs.
It would be good if the gapps along with the SDcard and PC-mount issues could have priority. Once they're up you can at least flash back and forth from the same ROM, without passing through an intermediary stock ROM. Notably, as each flash takes close to 30 min, if not more...However, I can believe they are all the result of the fact that the ROM can't detect the internal SDcard; no card = no mount, no card = no play store download.
On the good side, it seems like the GPS is working, and the bluetooth discovers surrounding devices and besides the mentioned SDcard issue, I have not seen much missing at least mot that can be tested at this point. There's no camera, but that seems to be something most AOSP ROM's for the Samsung tablets are struggling with currently.
Anyway, thanks again, I really appreciate your efforts.

Hey!,
So I was really busy yesterday evening writing a 3 page essay and doing other homework so I didn't get anytime to work on the rom. My thoughts too were to start a new thread in the dev section for this.
I haven't gotten too far with the T520 port either as i'm still learning CM development. (I'm more used to touchwiz ) I have some time right now so give me a bit and i'll try to get a thread started and update the rom to get SD Card working.
EDIT: Actually, I can't proceed till someone can make sure that Google Play downloads app properly. If it doesn't then I need to work on that before anything or it's going to cause major issues.
I used the Brute force app to Root tried installing CWR and bootlooped How do I install a new recovery?
