Hello, i've found out that Galaxy mini 2 have same chipset as mine. I have GSmart g1345, its pretty rare phone and theres no updates for this device. Last one is GingerBread 2.3.4. I also got sources for it:
Code:
repo init -u git://codeaurora.org/quic/qrd-android/platform/manifest.git -b refs/tags/R7227TCNCJNLYA71542302
repo sync
How can i port CM11.0 from to my device?
This phone has only Qualcomm MSM7227T processor not Qualcomm MSM7227A processor. Try to port CM11 with replacing kernel and drivers. Don't use the kernel from this phone use stock kernel or your own builded because you can brick it . This processor is pretty the same. The drivers for the kernel will be easy to bring.

I want to build a custom kernel and then a native program some sort of daemon.
I want to get original kernel with my modifications.
How to setup build environment?
Which host OS to use for development?
Which compiler?
I found samsung kernel repository in android sources and I've got sources from opensource.samsung.com (froyo + update_JPM + update2)
So which sources to use for my Galaxy S?
Is there are any guides to build kernel and native root level applications (mods, daemons, drivers ...)?
This is not a place holder however there is no actual mod yet for us to test yet this is a work in progress and I Encourage anyone and everyone to help out...
THE CONCEPT:
I asked Gokhan Moral if it was possible to back port the newer Mali drivers CM 10.1 to be used in official Samsung firmware...
Now for this to work we need matching Android library files compiled for the kernel drivers...
His intriguing reply was that the recently released Galaxy Note 8 uses newer Mali drivers (turns out not the same ones as CM10.1 but newer that official S3 firmware) and assuming the Note 8 is running Android 4.1.2 then there is a good chance the lib files WILL be compatible with current S3 firmware...
It turns out the note 8 firmware IS 4.1.2 based and the kernel sources contain the necessary drivers so...
Let's give this a crack eh?
GOALS:
#1 compile Mali drivers from Note 8 sources into existing Siyah sources thus creating a working kernel.
#2 obtain and identify necessary matching lib files from Note 8 firmware.
#3 transplant these libs into an S3 custom ROM and see if they work
#4 create and release a CWM zip which will flash both the custom kernel and lib files which can be used to mod any existing 4.1.2 Samsung firmware.
#5 crack a beer any bask in the satisfaction of a job well done...
PROGRESS:
#1 Budding developer and valued contributor to this forum psndna88 is already merging the necessary code with the latest Siyah sources. A test kernel should be conceived soon...
If anyone else wants to give this a go with other sources please do
#2 A request was made on the Note 8 forum and I have the necessary lib files ready to be back ported once the test kernel is ready...
If anyone has anything useful to contribute please PM me and follow this thread so once something is ready to be tested you can wet your appetite.

Good luck,good work
But what's diffrent with note 8 and galaxy s3 firmwares?

Well probably not a great deal in general however for this project we are interested in using the newer GPU drivers which are in the note8 firmware and apparently also the leaked 4.2.1 S3 firmware also.
The kernel side of things need to match the ROM lib files which are complied by Samsung using their closed xynyos sources.
Since the note 8 firmware uses the same android version as ours then HOPEFULLY we can use the kernel sources and transplant the lib files from the note 8 ROM and get it all working smoothly...
The question assuming this project succeeds is: Are the new Mali drivers noticeably better?

They give a documented 15-20% performance boost in the Epic Citadel benchmark.
siyah kernel compiled with n8000 mali driver,
but currently following things may be broken:
-mali touch boost
-step5 of gpu freq
-gpu uv
Can codeworkx port those drivers to cm? (I mean source available, binaries)

the ones we are trying to port are older than current CM 4.2.2 mali drivers, but newer than current stock sammy 4.1.2 drivers
attached is a diff file for changes in stock mali kernel drivers and siyah kernel mali driver for stock rom
and diff for lib files between N8000 and I9300 stock roms
i havent fully applied all changes in mali driver taken from N8000 inserted in siyah kernel source before compiling
Good idea guys.. I have a note 10.1 the n8013 model if it helps

Hello,
Yank555 did something similar with his kernel ( he used the newer Kernel Sources from a Galaxy Tab and built a Galaxy S3 Kernel ), maybe you could send him a PM and ask for help ?
Best regards,
George
P.S: I could help you with the flashable packages and also do some testing if necessary.
OK it looks like the N8000 uses a very similar version of the Mali drivers so there might not be much to gain from this project

hello exhibit community, i assume this is the correct forum, otherwise sorry mods. i recently "inherited" a t599n and i am taking the challenge of compiling an ubuntu touch rom for the device. i have very little android/pc experience. however, i have successfully built from source (cyanogenmod) and ported quite a few roms to other devices. i just upgraded my ubuntu version to saucy as precise was unable to install the phablet tool. i will be using meticulous's github sources and i will start building tonight/tommorrow depending on repo dl. any dev suggestions?
fail
i was unable to build the meticulus kernel with ubuntu source provided. i was able to build the system.img and boot.img. but w/o the ubuntu touch kernel specifics, the results are a bootloop. im off to new ventures for now as im unable to port anything to this device as of yet. i have some ideas revolved around slimroms soon.
Hi guys!
I have Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. And I want to port Ubuntu Touch (RTM or newer version) to the tablet.
This device already has a Developer Preview, but it is not stable. The structure of this port: kernel and tar.gz archive with the system (preinstalled-armhf).
So, i have a question: what kernel is required for Ubuntu Touch? The porting guide says that the CM-kernel is required.
But when I try to install a similar way, device becomes unbootable.
Can you help me?

I too would like to know more on porting Ubuntu touch OS to the Samsung Note 2014 10.1 (P600) device.
You don't mention your model. Is it 2014 version ?? Which one is it since the 2014 Lte versions hardware is different to the 2014 wifi only hardware...etc
Back in 2013 someone did a port of the older incarnation of the Samsung tablet The N8000 model. If that's you check this thread
Not sure if any developers here owns a Galaxy S6. If anyone able to port Ubuntu Touch latest to Galaxy S6 would be very appreciated.
I believe that roms of anything that isn't android will not work due to the Exynos processors not having their kernel sources released.

Excuse my ignorance as I don't have any development experience more than being a script kiddy, but was not the old Ubuntu Touch roms just sampling from CM11 sources for most of the drivers and kernel stuff?
As I say, I don't really know anything but I thought that was how it went. I don't care if there is an S6 ROM but I just want to see any port of Ubuntu touch on any device I have.
Edit: Actually it looks like it was CM10.1 for the old ones from like 2013.
Later they moved to CM11, and they may use 12 now, I'm not sure.
