I found an old but functional Galaxy Premier i9260 smartphone (based on CPU TI OMAP 4470 with PowerVR SGX544) and I want to learn something about custom roms with it.
I can't find ROMS based on Android after 5.1.1 version (CM 12.1). I found really useful information here, but with many difficulties due to russian language:
4pda.ru forum showtopic=387095
In xda developers I found this version of lineage, built by nailyk for Galaxy Nexus:
releases.nailyk.fr cm-14.1 lineage-14.1-20170830-nailyk-maguro.zip
Do you think it could work, at least partially and not for daily use, on Galaxy Premier?
Otherwise, can you address me to a way to update to the newest possible version of Android on this device?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello my friends, so im reading about the new version of android : KitKad, i found an information that older devices with 512 Mb of ram will get this firmware !!!! (( i hope isnt fake ) , so what do u guys think will the WONDER GET the Kitkat firmware ?
No. Samsung dropped support for our phone, so there's no way we'll ever get an official KitKat update.
As SGWUser said, we'll never get an official KitKat update.

I'm agree with you.. custom roms are not the same...they are BETTER!!!:victory: let's try!
One of the features of the 4.4 KitKat I've seen leaked was backwards compatibility, for us Galaxy W users this might mean we might get a best possible ROM for our phone which is up to date, no matter whether it's official or unofficial, Let's keep the hopes up!
Well for me stock roms made by samsung are unreplacmend, but however i belive that if the kitkat will be for older phones, why not being for our phone !!, I hope they wont go with kitkat on Galaxy Mini
I think not

there is two liquid smooth and aoip, well if we can count it as official, hehehe, the end is very close to our devices anyway, but still my hope kitkat will be last OS for my beloved galaxy w
officially samsung never provides good updates to most of its phones
thats horrible on their part, its like they dont have a software department that cares, just look how HTC keeps updating its phones
unofficially its a totally different matter
Our wait is over and Android 4.4 Kit Kat is finally released and there is a whole section about it supporting 512mb ram devices which might be great news for us.
some details here http://android-developers.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/android-44-kitkat-and-updated-developer.html
and here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/31/kitkat-feature-spotlight-project-svelte-extends-android-4-4-support-to-devices-with-as-little-as-512mb-of-ram/
HEY GUISE. so Google announced the Android 4.4 KitKat today. I heard tht they said Android 4.4 will be memory efficient to phones with 512 mb of RAM (AKA US) as previous android versions are memory hungry (TRUE DAT) so is it possible tht this version of Android is gonna be avail soon for the W???

Hi Guys,
I am new here and not yet allowed to post in all forums and threads.
I got a a Chinese galaxy s4 i9500 and first wanted to install cynogen mod which is not officially supported for my device. But since I used to have a XIAOMI 2A, I love that GUI.
So my QUESTION: Is there an actual MIUI Version for my device (chinese i9500 WCDMA) and how do I install it. Will any of the sensors, like the IR-Sensor be affected, I mean will I still be able to use it ?
Thank you in advance
DrWong

I know we will have to see what the future brings but, are there any developers willing to develop custom roms for us Tab S owners?
I know CM12 is Available for the Non-LTE Variants, i am an LTE owner so, i dont have any sort of Lollipop on my T705, was just wondering, since Custom Development for T705 has stopped for a while (besides IronRom which is mainly a 805, and SkyHigh, which is my daily driver)

CM12 is based on Lollipop.
Lollipop was Officially released quite a few months ago, what hasnt been released is Lollipop for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Product Line.
So my question was, if we are to expect custom development from the current developers for the Tab S when Samsung releases its base rom for the Tab S, since this is a no-so-popular device.

Cm12 is based on lollipop/stock android. Why? Because someone ported/built a working build to make it work. Samsung takes ages to release lollipop.

We will get custom rom development and maybe themes since samsung switched to png format.

See, this was something I was afraid of hearing because wouldn't there be a difference between ported/built working vs official samsung bult that is fully functional? Not saying the other cm12 isn't functional, my insecurity says theres ought to be something between developing a working carbon copy and the real version.

What do you mean with the "real and carbon copy" versions?
Samsung implements a framework on top of android called Touchwiz for their devices, it's more than just a skin, and the personalization takes time. Samsung decides which devices to be updated first based on the sales of the device or if it's a new device as a magnet for sales.
CM(XX) is much closer to the The Stock Android Experience (AOSP), but since Samsung uses a closed code, and drivers, an implementation is never as perfect as an "Official" one. This is mainly due to the fact that CM implementations are more ports than direct implementations, but neither is a copy or the other, just two different approaches, and different outcomes.
I will still continue development of my SkyHigh kernels for LP TouchWiz based firmware. It's what I'll be using ..... unless I manage a miracle to scrounge the cash for the upcoming 8" Tab S2
Once firmware and LP kernel source is released, then I can start .

Why do you want the rom from the SM-T330 on the SM-T310? They use different SOC's (SM-T310 uses Samsung's Exynos chipset while the SM-T330 uses a Qualcomm chipset). So the sources are not really compatible.
Furthermore, they use different graphics chips. So, while you *might* technically be able to run the SM-T330 ROM on the SM-T310, it probably isn't worth it.
Especially since some people already have an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod 12.1 for it (Android 5.1). Why don't you get involved with them instead?
Look over their repositories and their commit history to understand what they did and why they did it (assuming good commit logs).
See the subforum post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development/sm-t31x-cyanogenmod-12-1-unofficial-t3094681
Am already running cm 12.1 ROM but am not able to get touchwiz interface and launcher ........ That's the only problem I have
Hello everyone. Please forgive me but I am a super newbie in regards to rooting and terminologies. I have a Galaxy Note 8 N5100, wifi version. It has the original firmware 4.4.2 and I would like to upgrade it to Nougat 7.0. My son is having trouble playing new games on it so I theorized that it could be due to its age. Before I buy a brand new tablet I figured I would try to see if updating the N5100 would help.
I have googled and saw this link and it seems fairly easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2626778
Is that the correct thing to go through the process? And to update to Nougat I saw this:
http://www.android-nougat.tech/2017/03/samsung-galaxy-note-8-0-wi-fi-5253.html
Or if there is a better/easier way I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Wish I could help. I'm just getting back into this tablet myself.I'm sure someone will show up with info.

Hi! I was planning to do exactly the same thing -- upgrade my trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to Android Nougat -- and from scouring the XDA forums re this device, it seems to me that we have two popular options (based on the comments and thanks-ratings).
Here's the link to the more popular one, it's been renamed LineageOS 14.1 by the developer(s) but is based on Nougat 7.x:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-gt-n51xx-t3533329
And if for some reason you don't like the name of that one (or for any other reason, just to have an alternative), there's another popular one called RR (short for Resurrection Remix OS). It is based on Nougat 7.1.1_r25 and nightlies of LineageOS 14.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-2-rel-1-t3571116
I'm about to upgrade to LineageOS now (wish me luck). The reason I'm choosing LineageOS is 'coz it seems to be more popular and is ported to more devices.
Hi I own the same device as you and I flashed the RR rom to my tablet it was really easy, you need to root your device first and then install TWRP (Team win recovery project) after that follow the instructions on the rom
do you lose touchwiz and spen?
Hi,
Do any custom roms offer touchwiz or spen?
Thx

If you are looking to use a more current rom with Marshmallow or Nougat, then yes you will lose touchwiz and probably most or all s-pen features. AOSP roms like Lineage and Resurrection Remix are based on stock android, but sometimes they're the only way to keep an old device current. Touchwiz roms are usually adapted from original firmware or ports from similar devices. Since this device stopped receiving updates at Kitkat, the most up-to-date touchwiz roms you'll find for the Galaxy Note 8.0 will be Kitkat.
