Hello there!
I am really interested in multiboot implementation for our device. As a beginner linux developer I don't understand much in android development, so I would like to hear some comments from android developers.
I've ported kexec-hardboot patch to tf701's kernel, so it is possible to port even pretty sophisticated things, such as MultiROM. Now only just very simple demo boot manager is existing, but I hope, if it were interesting for other developers, it would be possible to make complete multi-boot system for tf701.
Patch and demo boot manager is here.

Hey, I know there is an android project out there for the Raspberry Pi. I haven't heard much of it lately, and am not sure of the status. I wasn't able to find a guide at all for porting Android to the pi. I'm wondering if any devs might be willing to help collaborate so that we could get a guide to port android to the pi. I think it would be a great project for newer developers who are trying to learn about android and how to port to a completely new device.

There are many people still working to port Android to the RPi including an official effort by Broadcom. An early unofficial alph build by the RPi community called Razdroid is available you can download that image here (http://rosefire.us/~razdroid/aaa801/Gingerbread+EthernetManager.7z). It is based on gingerbread CM 7.2.
Also check out the android on Pi wiki:

This os is best for Android phones
If you look at the sources they are not for hdpi devices therfore no development atleast for now as i see it. I also want to see something different from aosp ROMs.
Stock rom modified to xperia ui would be cool too.
For our device it looks aosp ROMs is what senior devs prefer.
Why any developer not work in miui ROM I know your answer but miui7 is good for Android phones
me too waiting for miui....some replied that i should bought xiomi phones rather than Android one..and some says that miui v7 cant be portable to our device cause of hdpi...but tgen why no devs are interested to port the miui v6???its already ported for our chipset just have to make it work for android one..... http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/03/442-miui-v6-for-mtk-6582.html
Mods please move this thread to appropriate section
If you like it so much, then why don't you compile it? Devs are tired of requests for MIUI. THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT.
Hey guys, if anyone is interested in porting miui 6, then contact me on fb, as I don't have enough bandwidth to download the ROM, I can guide you all through the way, all I need is a guy (or even a girl ) who has some at least basic knowledge & is ready to waste some time with me :v (as porting can't always be successful)...

Hi,
up until 7.1.2 I used to run 2-3 roms in multirom, six or nitro as primary purenexus as secondary. However six's newest Oreo rom, it would install new kernel (i think) with it which does not support kexec (don't quote me on it either). Where as before I always used Kexec supporting kenrels such as franco, elemental and b14ckb1rd. Now I understand things very basic not in depth. And I understand why custom kernels for N6 might not be out already (since google didnt push out official oreo update for N6). My question for devs is should there be kernels out there in near future that would support Oreo and multirom same way it used to be till 7.1.2? Not asking for when not asking why not yet just asking if in future will it happen? If so (this question is just to understand) would that kernel be based on kernel for N6P or N5x or Pixel?
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can explain me. If a kernel developer wants to explain in great technical details I would love to read up. Thanks.
BTW the reason I asked this, is because in my experience, current custom kernels would not boot Oreo beta rom. and I am assuming they would not boot any future 8.0 roms as support for 8.0 is not listed under them only support for until 7.1.2 is listed. I am noob so feel free to correct me wherever i was wrong.

Devs are working on making Oreo stable with it's core features and when that's done the kernel and feature development will start picking up. As of now you'll have to wait but by experience from seeing older phones with dropped official support that has received newer Android versions by custom roms, multirom has worked so I don't see any issue. Only time will tell. Right now getting all core features stable is prio number 1.
i got it as a secondary device for cheap price. any ideas on playing around with the software or else?

Hello,
always a pleasure to have an enthusiast joining the ranks.
You may want to check out the ROM development (the whole platform OR a kernel alone). Some links for you to start with
[Sony Open Device Project](https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/) - this would be the starting point for anyone wishing to deal with the Android software; provides the guides for building full fledged AOSP and mainline kernel
[Sony Xperia developers Github](https://github.com/sonyxperiadev) - the repository for all the code necessary for AOSP and kernel; it is a "wiki" for further development steps; issues are discussed in [https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker]
[Sony AOSP builds with some additions](https://github.com/SonyAosp) - the AOSP code repository with forked sources from XperiaDev Github and with some additions that make the builds more usable (TWRP as a default recovery, OpenGApps already included, etc.); a great resource for a deeper dive into the intricacies of the building-from-source flow; can be used to compare with the barebone AOSP from the official XperiaDev and learn some insights
[LineageOS Wiki](https://wiki.lineageos.org/) - an enthusiast may want to build a Lineage OS instance for the device on his own, the wiki is a great start.
You also might want to get familiar with the followings as a references:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763 - an XDA complete guide to AOSP building
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/literature-reading-getting-aosp-t3268211 - a collection of references for further insights
https://review.lineageos.org - LineageOS Gerrit platform for a better understanding of the build flow from the perspective of commits
https://github.com/omnirom/Docs/blob/master/Porting_Omni_To_Your_Device.md - a guide to porting an OmniROM to a given device; may be used as another reference to better understand the buidling flow
https://www.aicp-rom.com/ - AICP project home; another source of information for AOSP porting
https://github.com/AndroPlus-org - a reference for kernel development
Happy coding!
Now that we can unlock the bootloader and root the galaxy tab a T510 It would be cool to see custom roms developed for it
I would love to see AOSP android running on the T510
Is there anyone in the custom rom development able to do
Does nobody want to see a custom rom on this device
I'm Interested too !! A debloated Rom please !!!!!
I posted my TWRP build here, so I'm hoping that enables more custom ROM development for the SM-T510. Unfortunately, my initial attempts with GSIs were unsuccessful, even with NoKnox to disable most of the Samsung security features. Seems I'm still missing something, but Galaxy S10 owners have had some success after making minor changes to the generic image.
Has anyone tried this GSI guide for the Galaxy A8, which shares the same Exynos 7885? It's got the rw-system.sh fix noted above.
I may purchase.this very soon. I have high hopes for this device getting lineage
Would love to see a custom firmware release as there's only a 32 bit version of android and I'd like to get 64 bit support. Great little tablet aside from that downside
Interesting note here in the @phhusson's Treble Wiki:
Why should I use GSI for A/B devices to some A-only devices? : On Android 9, Google changed the requirements and all devices shipped with Android 9 must use "system-as-root". Before this change, only A/B devices were system-as-root and GSI name was separated by A-only and A/B. For this historical reasons, you have to use GSI for A/B on the devices shipped with Android 9+.
So, I'm thinking that we should be using ARM for A/B...and not many custom GSI ROMs are built for that target.
Okay, I had some limited success with the latest AOSP 9.0 GSI build from @phhusson. The note above from his Wiki was spot on: We need an ARM A/B configuration for the SM-T510/T515...which is unfortunately a rare combination. You must also this updated /system/bin/rw-system.sh script. I used the build with GApps (system-arm32_binder64-ab-gapps-su.img.xz), but this generates a ton of error notifications because the device is not Play Protect certified.
We're getting much closer, though.
Okay, here's a quick-n-dirty custom ROM build based on the AOSP 9.0 GSI mentioned above: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-nexus-stock-2019-galaxy-tab-10-1-t3944222/
