Alright, the purpose of this thread is simple. I made this with the intention of uniting all of the d803 users, and give them the opportunity to post a request for a rom they would like to see on their d803's that is available for other variants such as the d802. At the moment, I've found a way to "port" only d802 roms to the d803, and by port I mean making some slight changes that allow the rom to boot in our devices without any or with the least issues possible. These two devices are very similar hardware-wise, so software wise it doesnt change much.
If there's any D802 rom that you would like to see on our D803, feel free to leave a reply and I will do my best to move my gears and upload it so you guys can have it! As we all know, the development scene for the Canadian variant isnt as active as the d801 or D802, and with this I aim to end that barrier by trying to make those roms available to our device
Too long didnt read version:
If the rom exists for the D802, post a reply and I will try to make it available for the D803
Disclaimer:
I am in no way a developer, I simply edit files and put them in the right place so it boots for us. I do this to help fellow d803 users.
If I helped with a file, always make a nandroid backup just in case things go haywire. Anything that happens to your phone is your responsibility.
Everything I submit gets tested rigorously on my own G2 before being posted to ensure its working, but we all get different results, so the experience might vary. Just a heads up.

To port any ROM to any version just download your devices patch from dr87's Mahdi ROM thread then all u gotta do is change out the boot IMG, a few lines in the build prop n updater script then flash ROM, gapps, the patch then your good. We had a similar patch for toro on the gnex forum and I was waiting for the day someone put one together for us seeing as all g2's use the same mainboard. The days of worrying about whether your variant will get support is finally over, for aosp Roms at least. I'm gonna try doing it w a stock ROM to see if that works cuz that's something I'd really love to see. Cuz as a vs980 owner I can say from experience that our stock ROM development is lacking compared to the d802 or f320

Well I meant it more in a way for those who don't understand much about editing the updater script and exchanging the boot.IMG. with what I'm offering all they have to do is ask the ROM and I'll post it online with said changes in case they don't know how to do it. Something like a small favor for everyone, but thanks for the reply!
Request
If you could please port this rom I would very much appreciate it

Could you possibly make a quick tutorial on how to do this? or possibly direct me to where i could find one?
Hi, I was looking at your old thread about how you could port d802 roms to d803. I was wondering if you could port cyanogenmod 11 snapshot m12. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d802 i would really appreciate it. and it seems like u are good at what u do so you should maybe consider building for d803 for cyanogenmod. thousands of d803 users have been waiting for cyanogenmod support but to this day have recieved none. anyways if u could port it i would really appreciate it! thanks!
can you make lollippop rom pls

CM12 !
PLZ !
I'm trying to build cm12.1 custom rom for g531f but so far not good since i don't have much experience compiling...
Here are the files need for building custom roms like CM,AOSP etc. :
Device Tree(TWRP): github.com/TeamWin/android_device_samsung_grandprimevelte // Minimal device tree possibly only for recovery
Device Tree(MINE): drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8TQ0igdaGTjUE53S1dDMDkwVTA?usp=sharing
Vendor Tree/Blobs(MINE): drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B8TQ0igdaGTjUE53S1dDMDkwVTA?usp=sharing
Kernel Source: opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=G531F
Help for developers of g531f, most similar devices to g531f are X Cover 3(Same Specs) and Galaxy Tab 4 7.0(Most similar specs pxa1088 etc.)
I think the hardest part is now over,and that is to make all these files from scratch,now we need EXPERIENCED COMPILERS AND DEVELOPERS who know how to manipulate these files to work and to get successful build of CM or AOSP
PS. Keep in mind that i created these files in reference to our similar devices,so is most probable to need something removed or added and tweaked etc. this is just to jump start a development of roms for g531f
HIT THANKS IF YOU FOUND THIS POST HELPFUL OR USED MY SOURCE FILES
Hi,
This is my first post on XDA, so please let me know if I violated any rules of this forum.
I have observed that there is a dearth of custom ROMs for Samsung devices with Exynos chipsets in general. Since the manufacturer doesn't provide much support/update after ~2 years, i think it there should be a way to increase the life of the device.
As an example, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (SM N920G) running Android Nougat and i couldn't find any ROM with Android Oreo supporting this device.
I have no knowledge of Android ROM development, so please forgive me if my questions are stupid or too basic.
1. How difficult is it to create a custom ROM in general and does Samsung make it difficult for developers by not releasing the kernel sources?
2. If the devices share a common chipset, how difficult is it to port the custom ROM to make it work for another device? Ex: If there is a custom ROM working for Samsung Galaxy S6, how much work does it require to make it work for Galaxy Note 5 as well?
I was desperate to try Android Oreo on my device and i have some time to burn this weekend. So i was wondering if i could try and create a custom ROM for myself.
I've also searched XDA and found some guides which were written for Marshmallow/Nougat. I am not sure if the same methods can work for Android Oreo as well.
I am looking for any inputs/suggestions and any sources you could point me to in my attempt to learn.

Hello,
It's the wrong place for this type of questions, u should post it in the corresponding sub-xda topic instead of.
To answer you without going into too much detail otherwise my few lines will turn into paragraphs with several kilometers long...
In a very simple way and in just a few words: the task can very quickly get complicated even for experienced developers, and i don't say that as kernel developers because i've never ventured into it, but in the meantime it's a custom and kernel ROM developer who told me that it's very complicated to adapt a kernel for a new phone from scratch, and i suppose that the task is even more so when the phone is an MTK because the kernel originally had to be designed for devices equipped with arm or mips processors..

Hi all, i've read other threads about this argument but any of them satisfied me.
I am curious about the steps to do for developing a custom ROM for an unmodded device, so for example taking the android source code and make it work on a device.
In my case, I will use a Samsung Grand Neo (GT-I9060).
How do developers manage to port a ROM to a new device? How do they make device features working? Do they use camera drivers and other drivers to reach this goal?
How to upgrade the firmware to a newer version if no newer version is released by the manufacturer?
Sorry for these nooby questions
Waiting for your answers
