Upgrading Ported Custom ROM
Hello everyone here,
By following this thread so far, I've managed to port a custom ROM successfully for my device from existing Base ROM. Kudos to ArjunrambZ for this helpful thread for noobs like me. But both the ROMs are Android 4.1.1 . Now can anyone help me how to upgrade the version(Example: I want to upgrade to Android 4.4.4) of my Ported ROM? I googled a lot but I couldn't find anything useful/understandable for me. Thank you and thanks to KJ for pushing me in the right direction :cyclops:
ROM structure
Nice guide I haven't actually tried this yet but I have a few questions
As far as i knw porting means running a rom on a device for which it was not created
If this is the case why do we copy only specific folders (apps, fonts, media, framework) . from port rom to base rom? So there r still parts of original rom in new ported rom what is work of those parts? And what is work of parts we copied from port rom?
At 1st i thought the remain of base rom which we didn't replace is device specific i.e it contains drivers, etc am i correct?
Plus i have one more query what if i want to port a completely diff version port rom
For example i have a note 2 and i knw there won't be any lollipop release for it
So what if i want to port lollipop to my device since i have base rom as kitkat and port rom as lollipop, is it possible cross version porting?
Thanks

Here is systems extractor:

And compressing it back again is little bit tricky for noobs !(cause geeks are geeks always )

Can i port Omnirom 5.1.1 made for samsung galaxy s to samsung galaxy s duos
I tried your method and there were a few problems.
I took cosmic rom for galaxy s duos as the base rom.
I didnt see any set perm files in this base rom , so i could not copy.
Not many files were there in init.d of Omnirom 5.1.1 which i used as port rom as compared yo what you have shown in ur tutorial.
I still continued and zipped the rom and it was installed but ,NOW ITS STUCK ON BOOT!!!!!!
Its bricked , right ?
Where did i go wrong?
SAMSUNG GALAXY S DUOS AND SAMSUNG GALAXY S SEEM TO BE ALMOST SIMILAR IN SPECS.
So i still beleive i can port it.

Hello xda family!!
So I just got this new tab as a gift and I've been crazily looking for a custom rom with lollipop or higher since (sadly) the stock rom is stuck on 4.4.4. Don't really get what is wrong with Samsung firmware developers... at least I could root...
Anyways, anyone knows where to find one or at least make a request to create a rom to a developer? Cause it would be amazingly handy
Oh and also, is it possible to flash sm-t560nu or sm-t560n roms/firmwares on this tablet? Thank you in advance.
Anyone? Ping! Lol
Found a 6.0.1 Rom for SM-T560
Found a cynogen mod Rom on a Russian web they have cm11 cm12 cm13 and cm14.1 for our t560 I would give you the link but because this is my first post they won't let me so search 4pda forum and use the google I tool to translate the page .
Now I can post links here is cm 13 running 6.0.1 . There is no bugs so far but because there is no sim card you just skip the option out .
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ewM0DjQ4ee8sR9qd4n4XC8ZrrH9_Tedi/view?usp=drivesdk
Now just download google gapps 6.0.1 and flash that for google apps hope this helps
Hello there guys! I got a Samsung J2 [2016 Edition], a few months ago! I installed TWRP (using Odin).
I want to install custom roms onto my phone, I've searched everywhere and all I found was "Lineage 14.1" & a "Deodexed Rom".
I installed Lineage 14.1, but customizing it was limited and I hate using Launchers. Are there any other Custom Roms available for J210F, like Resurrection Remix & Dirty Unicorns? If you know any, please let me know (with a link for downloading)
Thanks.

Hi All,
First of all I have to tell you that I am not a professional programmer or super user. I am about to root my phone (Android 5.1). Lot of thanks to @bigrammy !!!!
Is it possible to install a custom ROM on it like old Cyanogenmod or new LineageOS? Have you guys tried it? Which version of OS should I go for? I see that LineageOS is apparently not supported for Xperia C5. What about other ROMS?
I am sorry if there is any double thread.
Many thanks in advance!
