Seeing how even the Samsung Galaxy S II has gotten a port of LineageOS 12, I wondered if there's anything that would prevent the Galaxy Nexus from getting it as well.
A developer already told me privately that it would be theoretically possible and that it would probably be better off with Android Go settings, but I wondered if there could be anything else that might prevent it. Because I see little discussion about this phone and I've seen no Custom Roms that go beyond Android 7.1 Nougat.
As a smartphone of the Nexus line, shouldn't it be even easier to support than something like the Galaxy S II?
I just know that it'd be awesome to see newer Android versions on it, just as with several other older phones that already got them.
Are you serious??? There is no way Galaxy Nexus can run Android 12. Even when this phone run on Android 7.1.2 (latest custom rom) it run poor and gets hot quickly, so i don't think anyone will build any custom rom for this device.

I'm just curious whether it is possible or not. The Samsung Galaxy S II seems to be able to do it, even though it's still in an early phase.
"As a smartphone of the Nexus line, shouldn't it be even easier to support than something like the Galaxy S II?"
for ti Omap chipset it isnt really easy to port twrp or lineage 19.0
"A developer already told me privately that it would be theoretically possible and that it would probably be better off with Android Go settings,"
no, you don't bringup and you can't make android 12 for this device. remember TI OMAP processors are close source afaik. and android 7 on this device RUNS VERY POORLY. so it's impossible to port a12 on this device, unless you try to port LOS 15.0 first.

Oreo actually runs way better than Nougat, at least with the holy kernel 3.4.
Can someone port Lineage OS 15.1 for the Galaxy Nexus maguro?
Don't forget, Android 12 (as well as 11, possibly also 10) is 64 bit only.

That's not right, we are running A11, A12 and A13 on many other arm chipsets like the Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3 and also many others...
Yes, it can be compiled for these chipsets, but will it be compatible with new software?

Yep, everything seems to work fine .
its theoretically possible, the omap 4460 is armv7 and has over a gig of ram, which are the bare minimum system requirements for running android 12.
however, it would be a major undertaking to port the crusty code over to android 12 AND it would run like garbage, unless someone were to try and speed up that code, which would be a whole other story.
if the community had continued like it had on the galaxy s2, this wouldve already happened, but it didnt for likely many reasons.
im guessing one of those is the lack of mainline linux support, which is because of the SGX540 in this phone.

I have a SGT 3 GT-P5210 running Android 4.2.2 . But for some developing reasons I want to downgrade it to 4.0.3 ICS.
I have searched a lot on the web, but I couldn't find not even 1 ROM for 4.0.3 dedicated for my device.
I also have a look at this xda thread but nobody gives an answer in the end: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582179
I am actually thinking that it is completely impossible to find a ROM for my purposes, due to many reasons.
Is this right? Or does anyone have a link at such a ROM?
The scenario of just trying to flash a ROM of SGT 2 won't work due to the Intel Atom Processor of GT 3...Not saying that it could work otherwise...
Thanks in advance.
If you every heard of porting then google how to port and there is a lot of guides, so that can help you make a rom for your own then if it works upload it and share it with community

I googled for porting and I found some very interesting articles and guides. But it seems it is not possible for my purposes. The Port ROM has to be for the same processor type (Galaxy Tab 3 -> Intel Atom) and of the same manufacturer as of the Base ROM's (Samsung doesn't have an Intel tablet with Android ICS available..). In some guides I also read that the Android versions have to be of the same type, which is the opposite of what I want.
Porting from Galaxy Tab 2 will ,almost definitely, won't work since it has an ARM processor. But I will try it to ensure that it will fail.
Building from source is also impossible, because several vendor components will be needed, which are proprietary, and as a result, unavailable.
I will let you know when I brick my Tab 3 with Tab 2 ROM.

Why are you so n00b ???
Trying to flash a Tab 2 ROM on a Tab 3 ?
Architectures are VERY different,
Processor are different,
GPU are different,
RAM modules (DDR3L vs DDR2) are different,
Sound Cards are different,
So how could you port this ?
Have you already wondered WHY development of Tab 3 10.1 is too SLOW ?
Good luck with your port.
Btw, if you want the most smoothest ROM released for Tab 3 10.1, flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2693396 :good:
It's an awesome rom with many features like Multi-Window

Hi, do you know if there is a version or there will be a version for this smartphone? I only see cm13 and it is June 2016.
First rule of Lineage is we do not as for etas
I understand then that for exynos you will not make rom? I say it to take it into account for upcoming smartphone
Unless LineageOS is going to run an all TouchWiz framework (More unlikely than a shark attacking on land), then I'd guess that it will have the exact same official support for all the exact same officially supported devices, long story short the last Note device with official support was pre-Note3 if my memory is correct. & any Exynos CM roms are half-cocked and never really expected to get past a User Build.....
Thanks

Anytime! I just wish we had a better chance than we do for custom builds but Samsung really doesn't care about us only consumers.
Any chance of getting Lineage 14 for the Galaxy Nexus or is the phone too slow and RAM memory too limited for this version of Android?
Any developer is allowed to build Lineage using the work done on Unlegacy. But this is hard work and everyone here is a volunteer. Unless you know someone who can help, the best you can do right now is running Unlegacy. I don't know if there is any developer who will take a donation from you as a bounty to get if working, but you could message them to ask.
This thread is technically off topic for the development forum

There is also Unlegacy 7.1.1 for our GNex (that ROM was, in fact, my introduction to N on ANY hardware). So why am I not running it now? Simple enough - PureNexus 7.1.1 includes both the Pixel Launcher AND Google Assistant (which can be run together or separately; I run them as a tag-team). At some point, I hope to ambush some unsuspecting Pixel or PixelXL owner with my GNEX.

No idea - it is included WITH the 7.1.x ROMs (both 7.1.0 and 7.1.1). There are ways to add it to 6.x (or even 5.x) - still, I like 7.1.x because it actually feels more *whole* with both PL and Google Assistant in place - which is why I am still hoping to find a Pixel/XL owner to ambush here in VZW turf.

Just remain patient.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250, "maguro") is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300), which already got LineageOS nightly. They're very similar phones when it comes to features and exterior. Both have 720p AMOLED screens, front-facing and rear-facing cameras, approximation sensors, light meter, earpiece, microphones, headphone jack in exactly the same places. Both feature 1 GB RAM and 16 GB eMMC. Both have HSPA+, but no LTE. They're also just half a year apart concerning their age (December 2011 vs. May 2012). They both feature an ARM Cortex A9 processor, though they utilize different SoCs (GNex = TI OMAP 4460, S3 = Samsung Exynos 4412).
The G-Nex seems to have a larger user base than the G-S3.

As usual after every new OS release, I want to ask here is there a ready of hope for an update to this beast?
If at all yes from which developer are we going to see the support?
Android 10 looks more polished and better. I am sure our Mi6 hardware surely supports it.
Any positive answers are welcome.
Thanks for your understanding.
Not only Android 10, I think we are covered for next couple of Android versions. Snapdragon 835 is a fairly popular processor. We can safely say Qualcomm will support 835 couple more years. So if there is support, there will be custom ROMs. Also, even after that, some intelligent guy / team will port Android 13, 14, 15 to it, for sure.

Hi, is there any dev still working on this device? Has anyone tried compiling lineage OS 16 for the s3 i747?
I would like to, but I heard that it's a pain to make.
There are devices like sony xperia V with msm8960 which have android 8 and 9.
Thanks

What! Given its age and old hardware! Ouch!
While I am a newbie, I have long enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CRdroid on my old (circa 2012) Samsung Galaxy S3 i747
The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid ( based on Android 8 ). Runs great. Long battery life.
BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
These are damn fine phones!
Well if the S2 can handle Android 10, then I guess the S3 can too. I haven't used my S3 in like 2 years. I have a S10+ now as my daily driver.

actually if the s3 could run up to Android 11 because the s3 19300 does. The problem is that nobody has wanted to continue taking port for the 1747 model because in my s3 19300 there is up to android 10 which is less powerful than the 1747 model, that is, the 19300 has less ram than the 1747 and supports android 10 2021. conclusion without anyone that is motivated to remove the port will stay in Android 7.1 which is which I have the 1747
