FYI I've merged/rebased the Tegra 3 platform kernel (3.1.10) with mainline Linux kernel v3.3. github repo/tf700 forum thread. I'm working with Asus TF700T's kernel sources. While the kernel is certainly different than the one used by Nexus 7, comparatively few additional modifications would be needed to port it to Nexus 7 as both of them are built on the same Tegra 3 SOC. I plan to continue until at least mainline Linux v3.5 is merged.
Is this a SPAM or what? You post same topic and content @ HTC One XL secton as well.

Why would it be spam? hes posting because tegra 3 devices beyond the tf700 can benefit.
When are you planning to release a beta Kernel?
Really good!!
Now I hope that some of our talented devs will start working with this.

I do not own a Nexus 7 thus any releases depend on some developer picking up my work and adapting to Nexus 7. However, since Nexus 7 not only uses the same SoC (Tegra 3), but is built by the same vendor (Asus) on the same platform (cardhu), there's much less work that will need to be done. It's very likely the developer will spend less than one percent of time that I've spent.
I hope someone does this. I wish I could learn to do it but don't know where to learn. I'll be a tester lol

Why not use kernel 3.4 ?
Here is nvidia office 3.4 kernel for tegra3 :

As of now Google has made the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean source code public so that developers can download it and start developing ROMs based on it.
Google has also released the factory images to the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Additionally the factory image for the “takju” Galaxy Nexus is also available.
So developers can start making Roms

If I'm not mistaken, proprietary drivers have yet to be open sourced though. So no complete custom Nexus 4 roms yet

Hi everyone.
As we all know how popular the Xiaomi MI3 is, I was just wondering if there can be any possible Custom AOSP based rom for this device.
As we all know the Nexus 5 and Xiaomi MI3 have almost similar hardware would it be possible to port any nexus 5 roms to the MI3?
Agreed that Xiaomi doesn't release sources but is it possible to port something from nexus 5 due to similar hardware?
Simple answer is no. Without the kernel source code you can't get anything booting. Because they don't release the source code is the reason they have no forum and never will

Ohh I see. No point in having a forum if no source code is available.
By the way MIUI based custom roms can be developed right? Since they can use the stock kernel.

That they have but without any kernel source that is the best you will get. Is a port that may have bugs that can't be fixed (that the Og ROM doesn't have) due to no source. Also no kernel options like gov or over clocking ect.

Varun chitre has already made an alpha build of cm11 for this device without the kernel sources.
And yeah Xiaomi will be releasing kernel sources later this year

I'm not a dev but i could help with testing.
I'm just a noob (910V) ,, but I am willing to be a beta tester....very much looking forward to this build...
Sounds good, if you need help, here I am, but Telegram its a better way to do discuss :fingers-crossed:
I'm not a dev but I have a note 4 Sprint and can be a tester or do other tasks. I'm in!
Can we use something other than WhatsApp? I 2nd the telegram notion.
Remember when XDA used to have Logic and common sense ?
Let's go over this one more time
You want to port Android 8.0 to Note 4. Are you talking about porting official TW Oreo from Note 8, or porting all TW features - proprietary, closed-source Samsung code - from TW to AOSP?

Good luck with Porting a 64Bit System to a 32Bit Device... Simply not possible. And ported 64Bit Sammy Features on 32Bit AOSP? Mhh... The Note 4 may be the last good Sammy Device, but we will never see newer Samsung Software on it as Marshmallow Ports or pure AOSP/Lineage. Correct Me if i'm wrong but i think that's it....
Lineage 14.x is running great,if the drivers are there why slouldnt run a N8port dousnt run?

Well generally speaking when you port a rom (Nougat , MM whatever the case maybe) from a 64bit device, you dont port it as 64bit obviously unless the arch is unlocked and ready for it, you port it as 32Bit, the only limitation in terms of Touchwiz is when a certin app has only 64bit libs (Bixby voice is a great example) so even if you run api 24 (nougat) you wont be able to use such apps, But firmware side you can port it without issues, All 64bit phones include a set of 32bit libs aswell. and in terms of snapdragon Note 4 , yes you will never see a nougat or higher ""TOUCHWIZ"" based rom, Exynos however is already running Nougat.

As we all know you cant run TouchWiz based applications on AOSP (SystemUI / Launcher and many more) due to the fact that they require SEM codes (Samsung experience mobile), If samsung had their system sources up then you would have been able to, But just converting LOS 14 or AOSP to TouchWiz is just not gonna happen

because will never work since sammy needs his own android runtime etc etc for boot because it have methods etc needed from the framework etc. try to install the n8 launcher on lineage and you see what happens. it give fc. even after you add the missing method it will again fc and even when you add all missing methods that launcher needs in frameworks it will still fc because methods in the main libs are missing. and using sammy libs on lineage one is impossible since after some libs replace it will give a nice blackscreen
Hello,i have a question,the dates from the N4 and Nexus 6 are quite similar:
https://www.inside-handy.de/handy-ve...-galaxy-note-4
For the nexus 6 exists an Android 8 port,
https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage...oogle-nexus-6/
So,is it possible to make from this one a poert for our N4??

I think it is possible to port Oreo to the Note 4, but not TW version of Oreo (in other words, include all Note 8 features in an Oreo port)
It will most likely be ported as Lineage or RR without the extra Sammy features, idk.

As much as I vowed I would never get a single Lenovo product again, I recently realised what a fool I had been by accusing the recently released kernel sources for the Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus of being incomplete without considering anything on my end such as gcc version. I realised that my gcc version simply wasn't able to compile the kernel sources right now because kernel compilation is working fine in an Ubuntu 16.04 systemd container vs the Ubuntu 18.04 host and containers where it errored out at topology.c. Now that we can compile kernels for the Lenovo Tab 4 8 Plus, I'd love to see some custom kernels and ROMs for this tablet. It looks like it could become a good replacement for the aging Nexus 7 (2013) which even community support has to end for at some point. I'm currently downloading the LineageOS 15.1 source and am also compiling the kernel for the Tab 4 8 Plus at the same time. If I can get this kernel booted on Lenovo's Oreo ROM, then I may be able to see what I can do on porting LineageOS 15.1 and even 16.0 to this tablet.
How it's going?
Nice!
Any progress?
Any thing new about this tablet.amazing hardware but no more custom roms and kernels...please some one guide me how to do that(porting room
Thanks
I am working on porting a similar tablet, but am stuck on a build issue. Looking for someone to help!

I have a general question about custom kernels.... Is a custom kernel specific to a device?
So can I currently install e.g. FrancoKernel or do I have to wait until it is supported...

A kernel is always highly device specific. It includes the low level interface to the hardware and as such needs the correct drivers for the individual hardware..
HIGHLY DEVICE SPECIFIC. I ran Franco for years on my Nexus devices but he'll never support a device he doesn't have and he'll never own one of these phones. Amazing Dev though. You can use his app still with these phones if you want to check it out

Why do you say he will never own one of these phones? He develops for pocophone, Redmi Note 3 and 4.

My mistake, its been a long time since I've checked in with Franco stuff :good:
Not only are custom kernels device specific but if you are unfortunate enough to own a device from XDA darlings One Plus there are separate kernels for Oxygen and non Oxygen based ROMs because there is so much code in Oxygen that veers from stock Android--in spite of the fact that reviewers always claim Oxygen is as close to stock Android as you can get. In reality Oxygen is as far as you can get from stock Android without buying an iPhone.
In spite of all the grumbling about MIUI and EMUI neither actually requires a kernel that won't boot up custom Android ROMs on the same phone.
I think that Mi9 will never get nice custom kernel. Mi9 SE has some, any SD855 has but not Mi9.. Dunno why. Kernel code was leaked before launching Mi9 sale.
Is any Dev working on some kernel??
