Hello!
I've spend some days to compile JB for TPT ROW 32Gb. And there are the following results:
Works:
--Display. Interface is _very_ smooth
--Pen
--Automatic brightness
--External SD
--USB host
--Bluetooth
--WiFi (Partially: Signal strength indicator broken. Disable avoiding poor networks in advanced menu)
--GPS
--Internal sdcard
Doesn't work:
--Camera
--3G
--Sound
I also had to repack boot image to include configuration changes (init* files).
See attached logcat.
next step I will try to add proprietary source files for Wifi and camera and compile JB again.

Remember to always do a backup copy of your device images before flashing new ones.
Great work mate! I assume that if we want to test this later on our tablets, we need to be rooted?

Woohoo! Look forward to trying this!
This is amazing work! Thank you.
I see Lenovo finally released the ICS source code. Maybe this will help you get some other stuff working.
Also, how were you able to flash your build? Have you not upgraded to OTA3? I'm assuming you still have CWR working.
Thanks again.
Great work, thanks! I'm glad that there is work going on!
Great news! As I installed ota3 before rooting my device, I hope that there will be some way to get cwm and root working...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Very happy that you're working on a new ROM for our device!!!
And I really hope that someone finds a way to root OTA3 since I was also too dumb to do that before updating.
Cheers!
Wow!! Keep up the good work!!!
can't wait, great work!
Great!
I thought I will be first
According to full_indigo device ID, it is AOSP, not CM? Wow..
I think together we could at last make 3G work as other hw are relatively easy to fix(may be not true for camera as sources again changed). I familiar with Qualcomm RIL framework and can't wait to see how it works with tablet and more opensource hardware module..
I also had to repack boot image to include configuration changes (init* files).

Lenovo released ICS open source code but they forgot to release new kernel sources. This prevents me from building bcmdhd driver instead of bcm4329. It looks like JB is oriented for NL80211 wireless interface and not WEXT.
this isnt for the K1 is it
It's for tpt only
When can we see this in a flashable version? Not to sound pushy, I know we have all see the development slow down.
Are there any other tricks we need to get this up and running? I flashed partition 7 and 8 using NVflash but my tablet is stuck in a boot loop at "lenovo"
EDIT: Is this incompatible with CWM recovery?
What is TPT
Not to sound stupid but what is TPT? I have a K1 as well and am wondering if this will work?
TPT= ThinkPad Tablet

yes I also tried to get more info but for now no response. At last they released external folder of their custom build, which also contains alsa-audio, as I seen in cm9 device tree, it should fix audio with ease(maybe after patch as sources again changed in JB).
It looks like JB is oriented for NL80211 wireless interface and not WEXT.

but WEXT is there isn't it?
Anyway, congrats on working wifi.
Has anyone else got this up and running? I tried uninstalling CWM and reflashing part 7 and 8 but still no luck.

Some of existing software probably blocks normal startup. It is always advised to clean dalvik-cache and user data (backup first). It's up to you.
Right after Lenovo logo you should see 'Android: Optimizing applications' or something similar.
I found the bug with not isolating kernel in additional roms after posting multirom here. Unfortunately I havent solved it yet. I decided to not delele this project because the rest of this works. This is useful who want to have similar rom in on tab. For example to test apps. Sorry for inconvience.
this is beta release. for p900 only.
I'll write full instruction later. For full description see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403
I'm not sure that everything is stable, so I dont publish source code. I dont want to distribute buggy sources. thanks for understanding.
for stock firmware only. for now. use stock frimware as primary. you can flash cm as additional.
Installation:
1. https://yadi.sk/d/RVXpEgc6c4GKo - this is modded recovery. flash via odin
2. https://yadi.sk/d/CHl8wTYYc4GMZ - patched kernel. (patched my 1.3 pro kernel)
https://yadi.sk/d/D2riVhEgc4GPP - multirom main program
flash through modded recovery patched kernel and multirom.
uninstallation:
https://yadi.sk/d/jc4uxZeCc4GRb - flash this uninstaller through recovery, then flash original twrp
known issues:
- 1920x1200 resolution in twrp
- in List Roms installed roms dont shown
- in multirom boot menu touchscreen downt work. use buttons (vol-,vol+,power)
multirom apk from play store doesnt support this release.

I saw earlier that you had plans for this, but I didn't expect it to happen this quickly.
Anyway, great initiative.
WOW
@bonuzzz,
nice to see you here. Actually I bought this high end class tablet because of its specifations and over standarts. Still is the most powerful tablet in market.. But somehow it always lacked development and support of developers. Recently maybe the price is dropped so it started make owners smile little bit.
I was almost giong to change it, but still there is no powerful alternate..
I would like to be a tester of multiboot. because I would love to see ubuntu desktop in this tablet.
Thank you!

I was still hoping to get the minor issues resolved, notably the issue with Rom's installer are not shown in the installed ROM's section.
Any possibility of porting this to Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014)? The hardware is almost exactly identical. Really like your work, keep it up!

Do you mean the first (pre multirom install ) flashed rom kernal is the only kernal that boots regardless of the chosen rom, is multirom a separate bootloder that is chainloaded by the original bootloader? Does multirom have a config file describing the various kernals with different filenames if so can it be manually edited? Does multirom mount emulated system partition images or are their actual multiple prexisting system partions in the mbr that multirom can choose from ? What would quilify as similar roms, stock and omni are they similar enouph ?

I dont recommend to use this multirom because it has the bug with sharing kernel. So you need to use similar roms as primary and as additional. I dont have an idea how to solve it at this moment.
This will be used to detail how to get LinuxonAndroid running on the GPad and the process of QPair support to bring new and interesting features to the project as a whole.
Step 1 - Install Linux on the tablet
We shall start by using the standard Complete Linux Installer to install and run Linux with the GUI pumped over VNC (Frame buffer method coming soon!), this method works on most devices and is the most universal but as the project develops in the coming weeks a better method for the GPad will be developed.
Anyway on with installing!
Root
First things first you will need to root your tablet, currently my tablet is running Stock V50020d with root.
The below will most likely work on other ROMs as long as you have root it should work!
(A custom ROM may be developed for further features.. watch this space)
Download
Now we have root you will need to download the below:
Complete Linux Installer
Terminal Emulator
VNC View (I recommend PocketCloud)
Finally download A Linux .img file from our source forge site HERE, I recommend and will be using Ubuntu 13.10 Small ext4. Once downloaded extract the .zip file and copy the .img to your devices memory (internal memory or sdcard).

Let me understand, you want to port QPair to linux that will run on the G pad?
Disclaimer: I'm also in the challange but the idea of running linux on the tablet is really interesting.

I guess @zacthespack wants to use linuxonandroid on tab and sync stuff with a third party such as keyboard, etc using QPair.
Another Disclaimer here Good luck to everyone!

Bingo!
With linuxonandroid running on the tablet we could then use QPair to allow the user to have a phone (or another tablet..?) as the mouse/keyboard for Linux
posted first steps in OP to start getting LoA running on the tablet.
Everything is running very well, I shall finish the guide shortly to get LoA running but really the app install guide will work perfectly.
Next step I will be releasing a special Ubuntu 14.10 image which will be the supported image for QPair features and other changes for the GPad.
it say I need a loopable kernel which I didn't find for stock LG rom...

Stock LG kernel does have loop support so you should have no issue here, if you are having another issue getting linux to start let me know, shall be updated the OP in the next few days

Howdy, cool project. Couple of questions. I'm looking for a reason to install Linux on my tablet, but also understand that I can remotely view my home system with vnc. So what would be the benefit?
Is there more control using Linux to Linux?
Does this mean I could open into my home system, make changes to my kernel, compile, and upload to a server from my tablet?? Late night insomnia while in the mountains would be awesome. I would have to tether my tablet to my phone for WiFi, and run through Linux? This sounds pretty awesome.
Tell me the reasons it won't work.
Pretty awesome OP. Thanks!
Cant log in ubuntu
Can somebody tell me why im not able to boot?im running lollipop with red kernel and before i was running kitkat and still the same.Im my g2 there is no problem but on tab doesn work.I download complete linux installer,busybox,terminal and vnc and i never get the @root.i trh also a differend image but nothing.Any help will be appreciate
Have been busy porting the SM-T285 to OmniRom 5.1, would just like to post the progress so far:
I've managed to reach a point where I managed to get graphics working and bring up the Android Home screen, however I still need to fix wifi, bluetooth,cellular.
If anyone can point me to someone who has experience porting spreadtrum devices, esp the sc8830 please pm me.
Below is a semi working SM-T285 device tree that I am currently working on:

I got rild working, now trying to get wifi up.
Current OMNIRom status for the SM-T285.
1. Phone/LTE Services - OK
2. Graphics (hwcomposer/gralloc) - OK with bugs
3. Wifi - Still need to fix wpa_supplicant issues OK (10/20/2016)
4. Bluetooth - Broken, stock uses a custom bluedroid lib, will need to reverse engineer bluetooth commands
5. Audio - OK
6. Accelerometer - OK
7. GPS - Not Tested
8. USB Services (adb, tethering) - OK
9. Camera - Broken
Will post ROM once I sort these issues out.
Looking forward to this. :good:
I've just switch to porting OMNIRom 6.0 to the SM-T285, screenshots here:
SM-T285 running marshmallow
ril got broken when moving from 5.1.1 unfortunately, so working to get it back on. However there are now no more graphical bugs, the SM-T285 actually runs impressively on the Marshmallow
A release should be happening this week, I hope I beat samsung to Marshmallow with this device

Haven't tried, however I am led to believe that safetynet fails in general for all custom roms that is not based on stock like CyanogenMod or Omni.
Hello there, your work looks very good so far! Its good to see that someone finally takes care of the Tab A 7.0
Are u planning a T280 Release too?

Quick question, I have very little or no experience about porting a rom. How do you do it and what applications and guide do you use to port a rom? I have a SM-T350 and I'm going to port Cyanogenmod 14. Thanks for the reply, in advance.

I don not personally have an all in one guide that I am following. There are various sites that provide bits and pieces of it, for CM, they have their own porting guide here: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
Unfortunately, the guide above is only good for creating an initial setup. To be able to make the rom work on your device, you are probably going to need a bit more, sites like android open source provides a brief overview of how the bits and pieces work at a low level:
https://source.android.com/devices/index.html
I also had to deal with SELinux, and this is the part where there is a lot of lacking tutorials.
Next is mostly device specific. The best case scenario is if your device already has a CM port available (previous version) or if a device with similar hardware has it. If the SM-T350 already has a CM port available somewhere then your job is going to be a bit easier. If not it is going to extremely hard depending on what sort of hardware you are dealing with. There are some hardware manufactures that provide good support like Qualcomm and those that aren't so good at it Spreadtrum *cough*. In my own experience with the SM-T285 there aren't many devices with CM around that sport the same hardware, the best I got going was a Samsung Galaxy Core (core33g) CM port that I found in github after looking really hard. The real challenge is figuring out how things work and what "changes" the specific manufacture did to existing aosp. There are times where you are forced to use the stock (proprietary) libs and attempt to shim(patch functions) them to work.
I already have experience compiling CM from source since I also have a Nexus 5 which has pretty good support. I also have several years experience as an Android Developer as well as prior dev experiences related to Java/C/C++. You should also be familiar with the languages used in building android namely C/C++, Java as well various scripts as well as dealing with linux as there would be times when you need to make modifications to backport/forwardport functions used by proprietary libraries.

Thanks for the info by the way. Can you add me on XDA-Developers so I can ask you any questions for going through the process of making your own rom? SM-T350 doesn't have any Cyanogenmod but only an EVERVOLV rom that has many bugs. Also do you have a tip or a link for Java/C/C++? I have no experience.
Thanks if you respond back!
Hello!! I dont have knowledge about make a rom , but , is possible a black shark 2 joy ui port for our mi9tpro/k20 pro?
I tried to install joy ui gsi image but cant boot it
Every device's forum section has a QA part where such things should be posted. It's a mystery for me how come a senior forum member doesn't know about that.
I ask for forgiveness, I was not very clear because of my low level of English

Black Shark 2 has extremely low levels of devlopment. I doubt if someone could extract/port it.
I also think it might have heavy security as even the stock game turbo on all models hasnt been ported to work on non-miui roms yet, so joy ui is very very doubtful
I look the gsi image working on a galaxy A50 , i tried install this image gsi but dont works
nobody know's about really?¿
