[DEV] Making all i717 ROMs compatible with T-Mobile T-879 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hi everyone. I started a thread in the T-879 section where I put together a very hasty "porting package" that made i717 Roms compatible with the T879 Note. I am not a dev by any means but I have had success in taking a prebuilt boot.img from a T879 CM10 rom, along with some kernel modules and making a flashable zip to flash over an existing i717 rom and it works flawlessly. (I havent updated the old thread with my latest zip because it was completely quiet over there). I was wondering if I could gain the support of the awesome devs here so we can increase compatibility across the board. I have seen great success in the HTC Sensation front where all versions are cross compatible thanks to the work of the devs in those forums. I would like to see that spirit here, and I believe that using a tool such as "Any Kernel Installer" may even allow custom kernels for the T879 as well. It is late where I am now, but if anyone is interested please do reply. I will update tomorrow with links to sources, and my latest porting package for examination.
Thanks!

This would be awesome! Great work dude, keep it up

Great info, Moved here, Thank You.

[Q] Android and kernel 3.0.x?

Not sure if this is the proper forum for the question, but since it is a general question, and I did try searching other sub-forums first, here goes. If this belongs in a different sub-forum, would a mod please move it.
I have read/heard of kernel v2.6.x having bugs in it. What are the chances of Android getting kernel v3.0.x? What would need to be done? Is it even feasible? What would be the pro/con of building a v3.0.x kernel? Would our phones perform better or worse with v3.0.x?
I've seen experimental roms with kernel 3.0 but unfortunately not for my DHD, don't ask me where and for what phone I don't really remember
google it, I'm sure you'll find it.. (also I don't know what changes brings along )
It will longer the battery life, i read somewhere. But i saw 3.0 kernel only on galaxy nexus for now. Waiting too
just buy smartphone with ICS and test it ))) There is 3.* kernel

[Q] Assistance locating mods for custom rom development?

First thing first, Yes I am a noob. I am trying to learn how to build custom roms. I already created a working rom based off of the UCPLC5 leak. I pretty much just deleted apk files and zipaligned the rom. I am wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me figure out where to find fix'x and mods such as accurate battery mod or 5ghz wifi fix. Is there a website that I need to look into? I have tried searching google to no avail. I also tried the search here but I am unable to get any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
you're on pretty much the only resource you need.....learn how to search, thats all i can say, because there is no 'directory of mods/fixes'.....

Task did 90% of the work, you just tweaked that base.
Learn to grab the untouched firmware and extract, deodex it then start working from that.
If you are working on a i9100 base, it would be best to check there forum section.
Deodexing and a number of the basic porting fixes are covered in my guide in the Development section.
5 GHz wifi fix doesn't apply to AT&T bases unless AT&T ****ed up on an epic scale, it's only for ported European firmwares. That's covered in the guide too.

More than that....more like 99.5. I wouldn't even call it tweaking yet.

How integrate SEAndroid in an existing ROM

hi folks,
cpl of months ago, i came across the SEandroid project and i quite like the idea.
i am surpised that no existing ROM has ever been released including this mod, so i wanted to try to do it for a test, and i was wondering if you have any idea how you have to proceed for integrate androidse in an existing rom?
I would like to test in on my nexus one.
thx for your help
br
nobody has a clue?
Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.

See rule #15
Thread moved.
hi,
nobody for a help?? :'(
You build SEandroid with the kernel, so if some of modded kernels here are open source you can do it. It''s going to be on by default (well, rumoured) starting with Android 4.2 but apparently there's an option to disable it so you can root the phone.
What kernel are you using, standard aosp or modded?
hi derpsec,
thxx for your message, i truelly appreciate.
i am running this rom at the moment http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588669 but i don t think there are any kernels available for that, it seems they are all for ics not jb.
but i wanted to integrate it into a gb rom on my nexus one for test (based on cm7)
thxx for your help, very nice of you
best regards

Looking for a good Bluetooth jellybean Rom- user views

Is Pac man Rom any good?
Lol. Its u again. Flash it and try for yourself. Every person got different need and what is good/best/phenomenal for them might not be the same for u. Its not that hard to flash a rom and if in the end u didn't like it, its just few minutes away to boot into recovery and do a restore.
Anyway, all stock gb based, stock ics based, cm9, cm10 roms got 100% working bluetooth. Cm10.1 works partially, abit buggy for now since cm10.1 itself is in heavy development with kernel 3.x. How might i know, did i flash all of them rom? No, just by reading first post. And u should do the same too.
Well don't want to be rude but this is the 3rd time u created this type thread. Every ROM page has changelog and working/non-working list please go through it Anyways now I guess after the new patch all cm10/10.1 have bluetooth working
Any for good jelly bean ROM, please go through the index thread sticked in development forum and go through each and every rom and download the on that suits u best.
Talking about best ROM's and kernels or other types of works is a direct insult to all the devs and their hardwork.
Hope you understand
Reported for now. Mods will close this soon.
Just a sidenote: Please please and please do not create a new thread or I can assure of u getting banned
Cheers,
AJ
Thread Closed. you are really pushing your luck with this what is the best rom thread, last warning.

Trying to find CM11 Unoffical Nightlies!

Hey guys,
Just got given a Mega 6.3 and I actually quite like it! Very surprised to discover that there is NO CM for it.
I have read through the Silesh.Nair thread and have managed to download a few of the nightlies:-
"cm-11-20140721-UNOFFICIAL-meliusltexx.zip" & "cm-11-20140804-UNOFFICIAL-meliusltexx.zip"
but it seems there was a much later one:-
"cm-11-20141113-UNOFFICIAL-meliusltexx.zip"
Which I can't seem to find available anywhere (except on one japanese/chinese site which I have no clue to actually get at it)
I have flashed the stock 4.4.2 ROM and rooted and it's OK but it's not CM and I also want to mess with the DPI settings a bit which just cause loads of crashes in the stock ROM, hopefully CM would be better.
So, anyone know where I can get the last (most stable) unoffical CM nightly?
Cheers,
MM
OK, so managed to download the latest CM -- cm-11-20141113-UNOFFICIAL-meliusltexx.zip -- thanks to a chinese friend!
Don't suppose anyone here has any knowledge of what is likely to be broken in this? Or if it's all good?
Cheers, MM
Silesh Nair no longer posts on XDA. You can find him on german forum Android-Hilfe. There you are link to Mega thread on this forum:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/custom-roms-fuer-samsung-galaxy-mega-6-3.1572/
But if you are still interested in CM11 there is link to another thread:
