Hi guys.
While surfing the Internet I found the open source page Samsung (do not know if you already knew about it.). In it, is the official source code for Stock ROM of all editions of the GT-S5830 (L / I / M ...)
And there is something curious, there is a source code for of a S5830V ROM. I do not know that phone is, but this is not code for Android 2.3 is for Android 4.0. To know where I'm going.
Useful?. I hope so. :fingers-crossed:
If the code is to be useful, it will be possible to develop Custom ROM more stable and fully functional. :victory: Just need a good developer invest some of your time to take a look at, something that would be greatly appreciated and if I can with a good donation.

There's also many other models like the SIII / II / I, Y, S5550, etc, etc, etc
PS: Excuse my English, Google Translate I speak Spanish
Yeah, but most of Galaxy Ace here are the pure GT-S5830
I think he means that since the hardware is about the same we may able able to use some of the source code and code from the drivers to make a fully working CM9 for the GTS5830

Yes. in fact, I think the only difference between an edition and another is just the modem, the bands used for mobile network.
Not sure, but seriously believe that these sources will serve to create fully functional CM9.
Please share
Ok, I don't know if this is important, but I found it on the README_Kernel file:
$ cd kernel/common/
$ make ARCH=arm bcm21553_cooperve_defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=../../prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- modules zImage -j`grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l`

BCM21553_Cooperve is the chipset of those C, M and I models, a.k.a Cooperve
I have this phone i bought it in australia lockd to vodafone network i manged to unlock it through them i posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902313
I spoke to the samsung customer service rep who put me on hold to speak to the tech department he got back to me and said the V has the same chipset as the 5830i different only in the band
Im trying to flash the 5830i stock firmware throught odin and havnt done it yet
Definitely looks promising!
Downloading the code, i'll try to inspect it. ForceF said it had kernel version 140, afaik 5830is only have kernel 126
I downloaded it time ago,the kernel is for Gingerbread 2.6.35.7
The config is CooperVe for Galaxy Ace V
The config for Galaxy Ace I is totoro (Galaxy Y)
Why would they call it ICS if it's a GB build, wtf samsung :\

Hi
I am wondering if anyone could point me to some instructions on how to build a custom ROM from source code for Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 and got that to work on the device?
I know we have several ROM now which are working OK on Galaxy S3, including CyanogenMod 10. However, I couldn't find any Galaxy S3 specific instruction on how to build it from source code? All the tutorial I found assumes a pre-downloaded ROM binary. I did find the instructions for building CM10 from source code, however those are not for S3.
So if anyone could point me to some resources, that would be greatly appreciated.
It doesn't have to be CM 10 though. Any ROM which works reasonably well on the device and I could build from source code would suffice. So if some one could point me to some other open sourced, Galaxy S3 compatible ROM, and the instructions on how to build them. It would also be great.
Thanks a lot!
Suli
It will help if u pm a developer directly. They may share their secret

PLEASE, DO NOT ANSWER TO THIS THREAD ASKING FOR ETAS, DISCUSSION AND IDEAS ALIKE ARE WELCOMEHey guys, I think we should start thinking about the G531F model, which does not have anything except TWRP. I am thinking about building CM12.1 for this phone, there are some limitations tho, we don't have enough sources.
What we do currently have:
-a device tree for building TWRP for Android 5.1 (probably incomplete and not suitable for building CM) https://github.com/dadziokPL/android_device_samsung_grandprimevelte
-kernel source from Samsung for Android 5.1 (I could not build it, faced several errors) https://github.com/dadziokPL/android_kernel_samsung_grandprimevelte
-some vendor stuff from Samsung and Marvell(the CPU manufacturer) http://opensource.samsung.com/
What do we need:
-a proper, fixed device tree
-fixed kernel source
-proper vendor files and proprietary blobs
I also got an unpacked stock ROM for this phone.
I am not very advanced in this stuff, I basically only know how to build ROMs, that's it. I need experienced developers to help me with this device. I have a plenty of time, a fast connection, a beefy PC and a secondary phone in case the Grand Prime gets bricked, so I can build and test.

Nah, I can do it by myself, I need someone to prepare all the code needed to build and fix any bugs, at this moment there's no chance for a successful build
Excuse me for this little off-topic, but it has TWRP with at least 1 bug reported by me at GitHub. Since this model has no maintainer, it would be nice to have this bug fixed. I know this has nothing to do with your post, but if you're a programmer, maybe you can do something... Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I have no idea how to fix it. But I agree, this model deserves more maintainers, overall it needs more XDA love

Simple flash prerooted firmware with odin

I made a different thread in this forum, but it could be appropriate here. It's about making a ROM for one g530 variant work with another variant.
I am considering purchasing a Galaxy Grand Prime and the most likely model that I would purchase would be the SM-G530p or SM-G530t. While doing my research on this platform before purchasing I cannot help but notice that the majority of development and ROM releases overwhelmingly support the SM-G530h or SM-G531h.
What exactly is required to get an "H" ROM working on a "T" or "P" model? I am not exactly a noob when it comes to building android ROMs (I am a dev on androidforums.com and very active on freaktab) so your reply doesn't have to be too dumbed down. I am just unfamiliar with this platform. I have a sprint galaxy s4 (SPH-L720), however it seems like the ROM support is better for the various S4 than the various Grand Primes and this hasn't been an issue so far with my s4.
Would it not be possible to take any Grand Prime ROM (ex: an S7 ROM based on 5.1.1 ported for G530H), replace the kernel and supporting files with the 5.1.1 kernel including root for the G530P, flash it to the device, and have a functional ROM?
In general when flashing a custom ROM we won't be flashing the modem or radio partitions, correct? So as long as the android userland version matches the android version that the kernel is built for, and that kernel supports the installed baseband/radio/modem then won't this result in a functioning ROM?
Please let me know if I am incorrect, and if so where is the flaw in my logic!
Cheers and Thanks!!!
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.
I have an idea to port Android 9.0 Pie to the Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime. This will most likely be able to be ported to all models of this device.
The idea is that we can port a rom from the Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017), since the specs of the device are *exactly* the same. (If you want to find out for yourself, click this link for the specs of the J5 Prime: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j5_prime-8342.php#g570y , and click this link for the J3 (2017): https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j3_(2017)-8438.php )
The specs are exactly the same (at least on paper), so theoretically speaking, we should be able to port this device's new update, which is Android 9.0 Pie, with Samsung's One UI. First, we should try dirty flashing a rom (Using Odin, since all custom roms are just oreo roms, and most require a stock rom installed already), and see if it at least boots up. If not, we customize software, and try to help it become compatible with the hardware inside of the Galaxy J5 Prime.
Now, here are the problems we will be facing. First, the device tree might be slightly different, which could hinder the process of porting this rom. Second, modifying the stock software is really difficult, especially if you don"t have any experience in porting roms. Third, not all apps are going to be compatible, like the Camera app, unless modified with the data from the oreo Camera app we have in our roms now. And fourth, Wifi and Bluetooth may not work in the first few builds, but could be fixed with using the oreo Wifi and Bluetooth APKs and libs.
So, now that we have gotten all that info out of the way, which developers would like to help? I can do it myself, but I have never ported a rom before, but have done a good amount of research on it. I DO have a test device, which is my trusty old Galaxy J5 Prime (M model). But I would still appreciate some professional help. Anyone can pitch in, but you need some experience or some knowledge on porting roms. And that includes you, tutibreaker! You made so many good roms, and I think you can really help the community on this one!

I understand that tutibreaker is already working on a port. However, I'm sorry to be pessimistic, but I don't think it's going to be possible; mainly because Samsung still does not release the source code of some kernel M. Anyway you can enter to his Telegram group and try to speak directly with him.
* I am dev, but I am not interested in Android Pie. I prefer to stay in Oreo with root and my mods.
PD: Galaxy J2 Core (J260); J3 2017 (J330); J4 (J400); Xcover 4 (G390). Everyone has the same processor. I was investigating a little. Only for curiosity.

Thanks for replying, LUCiON3! I understand that getting the source code is impossible, but we can still try. I mean, it's been done many times before. And most of those ports are mostly bugless, and work flawlessly. So if those ports can work, I bet that this port will work flawlessly, when put in front of the right person. And I also consider joining tutibreaker's Telegram group, and try to speak with him directly, of course without asking the ETA of the rom. Also say thanks to tutibreaker from me. (Or I can do it myself lol):good:
Edit: I did know that the Xcover and the J2 had the same SoCs, but did not know about the J4 having the same one too. The things you learn everyday!

Porting Pie to J5 Prime is already done and doesn't any kernel modification
To boot on M so it should for all model ...
The port has just some bug reason why it is not shared yet
