/e/ deGoogled Android for T800 ? - Galaxy Tab S General

Is there a developer interested in doing a rom for us?
For anyone interested check out at address e dot foundation
I see there is some Exynos devices there in development. This would work really well this Tab S devices.

This sounds pretty neat, actually. Most of the roms for this device are old and outdated. I'll take a look. Never done any devving on roms, but I have looked at files, and know quite a bit about android. Just the older android OS, not anything over android 6.
My first was a Samsung Moment. That was so awesome.... oh the stories...

Request for other operating systems on Android One

This is a request thread for developers to port non-Android OSes to Android One devices.
Hello there users and devs of Android One!
Here in this thread, I will put forward the rationale for developers to port mobile operating systems that don't have a robot as a logo to our devices.
Android One is well supported by Google and (somewhat shockingly) MediaTek. Source code can be found on Google's official repositories and as a result, the custom ROM development scene is very much alive. The only thing lacking are the ports of other platforms. We have the install base to test ports (I think), we have CM support (this helps with porting some systems such as FirefoxOS and Ubuntu Touch) and we surely have devs who can do it (you know who you are and I hope that you're reading this).
As for users, please comment down below for what operating systems y'all would like to see on your phones so that we can grab the attention of those heroes behind the screen! Developers can reply to a request directly or PM me if you want to talk. It would be nice if you coders would respond.
P.S. Thanks for all the ROMs and the entire community is grateful for the works you all did for Android One users around the globe! :good:
buy a nexus device and u will have that OS
Android One devices are like cheap nexus devices
The reason many buy Android One phones is to get the vanilla experience for cheap. Some buy it because it's a Google device, therefore, easy to tinker with. Also Nexus devices may not be found easily at retail shops in some countries. That's why I bought Android One. What this thread is hoping to achieve is to (at least) get discussion started on other OSes in our phones. It's very likely that there are people here who bought Android One because of the Nexus-like experience being more accessible.
Will really appreciate the work to port other OS to android One... Hope someone makes that happen
Yes.Can't wait to see another os
FirefoxOS has already been ported to sprout, by Shahidujjaman Khan Anik. He said that he'll make a thread soon.
https://facebook.com/story.php?stor...129499414:2:0:1451635199:-7540004895718870160
Great!
That's really nice! I wanted to try my hand at porting it myself, but I ran into an issue during the build process. Glad to hear that someone was successful in doing so!
Hopefully this is only the beginning of OS diversity on Android One.
P.S. Best of luck to the developer and I'll start testing on my device soon.
P.P.S. I'm considering making a thread for him, is that allowed and could I hand over management and/or ownership to the dev after creation?
Happy to see Firefox OS on android One. Hope to see more of them too
Btw is hike available on firefox OS by any means?
News.....
I search for ubuntu touch for sprout and found that same dev that compiled firefox os has compiled a version of Ubuntu Touch!
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44454
I can't wait to test it.
If someone has test one of this, please give us some feedback

I too will flash Firefox os tomorrow. Someone reported here that Ubuntu touch did not boot, so I'll download that later
quick update
ubuntu touch system.img does not installing.... so I cannot boot it
firefox os boot up and works fine for now,
-camera does not work indeed...
-sometimes random crashes
for me it is not a daily driver for now....
Installed Firefox OS
Bugs
1. Sim 2 does not work
2. Cannot connect to mobile data
3. Camera does not work
As @lzimbrea said, not recommended as daily driver

Anyway users have to give it a try! Is first different os for sprout.
Maybe an update will fix some bugs and make it a daily driver
Personally I wait for ubuntu touch build.... Firefox os is a bit immature for now.
Congratulations to dev for his efforts!
What about windows ?Did anybody port it?
Cannot compute
Windows mainly runs on the x86 architecture, while most Android devices like ours run on the ARM architecture. Mainstream Windows will not run and Windows 10 Mobile is closed-source; what this means is that the code is inaccessible for anyone wanting to port it. Unless Satya Nadella sees fit to open up Windows source code, this won't happen.

[ROM] [Work in Progress] [Mantis] LineageOS 14.1 for Fire TV Stick 4K

Hi community!
There is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM being mainly developed by @Rortiz2 and @diegocr: https://github.com/LOSMantis
Current ROM Status:
- Not Stable
Not Working:
- Sound
- OMX
- Maybe more...
Developers out there that would like to join development are welcome!...
Notice: This is a WIP ROM. It needs to be compile from the source (build steps could be adapted from the Nexus Player https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fugu/build) if someone wants to try it out. Ready to flash builds would maybe be available when the ROM is more stable. Please do not ask for ETA, it is being developed in the spare time of the developers!

This can be the project that will free our Fire TV Stick 4k from the crappy FireOS!

Yes, but full of bloatware, with some blocking mechanisms or black listed apps, no Google Play Store...
We are not allowed to change the home app easily, to use the standard Android settings without Amazon home app, not install already purchased apps on the Google Play Store and so on...
With root you can disable remove the "bloatware", although personally i dont think there is much i dont use. The fireOS TV is fairly smooth and easy to navigate. The android TV version is worse (IMO, I have a NVidea). You can disable the NIMH app, although i have yet to find any app it is blocking. The play store for androidTV is horrible. LauncherX is fairly easy to install. As with tank and sloan, i would expect issues with roms.

Rortiz2 said:
Can you and other people (that did this aswell) stop creating threads like this?
We're working on mantis yes but this takes its time...
For now all is working except OMX and Audio so it's not worth to release anything.
We will create the ROM thread when it's enough usable.
Just wait...

Hi Rortiz2,
Why are you so mad about this thread? We did not ask for a working ROM or any release dates and we appreciate all your time and dedication to the project...
As I wrote in the subject, this is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM... Have seen so many threads like this in other forums here on XDA where the ROM only boots but nothing works...
I have created this thread to allow other devs to join the project (if nobody talks about it, than nobody knows that a project already exists and can not help).
But if you would like to do this project alone, just tell me an I will delete this thread...
Best regards,
Michael
...
I got really excited when I saw this thread. I cannot wait for stock Android for the Firestick 4K. I will 100% donate to the dev's who get this working!!

It's ok, leave the thread here. If somebody wants to help there's no problem.

Just throwing out an idea here but would getting some kind of test build out help? Perhaps getting some catlogs from the community could help find a solution? Again just throwing an idea out.

+1 for a test build, I've got a bricked 4k that boots both the hacked bootloader and TWRP, but whatever image I install has no display...
So I would like to try anything else even if stuff is broken on it (just to see if I can get a display).
thx.

It's at developer's discretion to discuss or release test builds here and considering that this particular rom still has some major bugs (call them deal breakers if you want), then i personally agree with the devs not releasing it yet.
Also, i didn't tested personally, but probably a custom rom like this may also break some features available on stock rom.
This being said, i'm sure that it will be released as soon as the guys behind it will consider it stable enough.
P. S. BTW, thread title is misleading and probably aldo violates XDA rules.

I totally understand and respect that. I did bring up having some kind of developer/user test build done just in case that could help further along getting said bugs fixed by getting catlogs that might help narrow down what is causing the issues. But if the devs feel that doing that would only slow things down (or even not help at all) then I respect that decision.
Also, i didn't tested personally, but probably a custom rom like this may also break some features available on stock rom.

That's the nature of things when it comes to Lineage OS ROMs (and AOSP in general). Sometimes devs are able to get the ROMs to have nearly all the functionality of the device working... and sometimes not. But I generally prefer Lineage myself due to the overall experience being faster since LOS tends to not have all the bloat that stock ROMs sometimes have - especially Amazon devices which feel so bloated down with garbage I will never use.

Hi Pretoriano80,
As I already replied to one of the devs, I never asked for a release date or ROM for flashing. The title also is marked as WIP (Work in Progress), that means that the ROM is in development and not ready for use...
I have seen that you already made a great job with the custom kernel. Thanks! Would you also like to help this project as it seems it also can use your kernel? Kernel dev with ROM devs would be the best team!
Thanks again to all devs that work hard for releasing new stuff for the Amazon devices...
How's the progress so far?
Looks like nothing much: https://github.com/LOSMantis/android_vendor_amazon_mantis
Too bad !!
dead project ?
I made a test build (with many warnings). Also I used the kernel from @Pretoriano80.
You can download it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=324510
Please note that I couldn't test this out yet, so be careful of what you do. (Will try it out for myself soon)

it's not worth to test since it's a dead project, it would be more usefull to begin a new project developing LineageOS 16 rom , At least we will be able to use the new Android/Google TV UI.

LineageOS 16 won't ever be able to happen for the Mantis version because it doesn't support treble, the most it could do is LOS 14.1 since it's a legacy device.

After reading a bit, it sounds good! Though I wonder if it has more customizations than LineageOS, as I know LineageOS is basically cyanogenmod but I have noticed there none of those cool features cyanogenmod had in the newer versions of LineageOS.
I had never read about it before, but it looks like it could be interesting

/e/ isn't for customizations, they're more concerned about security/moving away from Google. I've used it before & the customization features are minimal, nothing more than Lineage.
That being said, it's a great ROM but I'll probably stick with @html6405 build of Lineage instead.
Thx for your answeres,
I'm curious how the rest thinks about it.
Thank you for your hard work to create great ROMs.
I am more looking forward to get Android 10/11 than /e/
Yes, I want /e/ as I'm moving away from Google.
I've setup a little netbook as a local Nextcloud server already, so having /e/ on all of my devices would be great!
Ok,
I will wait until next year, if we have more interested persons than 4 (like now ),
you will get it.

Google needs a huge reckoning, and the more users running non-Googled OSes... the better!

Yes - I would be interested to try. I looked at /e/ and it did look promising.

This would also be possible, but I don't know when they will start to publish /e/ on android 11 based and for this, I first have to bring LOS18.1 stable.
/e/ would be great! Heard about it recently and it sounded like something i would appreciate. The less google the better...
I also want to seize the opportunity to ask if there are any plans for making roms for note 5100/5110/5120. From what i understand it is basically the same device as Note 10.1, but smaller (it's Note 8.0). Amazing little thing! But alas, stuck at LOS14. Which works great, btw, spinning fast and glitch-free, but the further android development seems dead.
Lots of sad users on the forum, including me.. (i do own a N8000 too tho..)
If you could find time for porting some of your work from N8000 to N5100, that would be realy awesome of you! Especially since it probably wouldn't take all that much time since what i understand the devices are practically identical.
You would make plenty of people happy and i would of course donate directly!

A bit offtopic but still: the SOC is indeed the same as in most Exynos devices from that time and which is the least problem as the issues have been solved for those other devices, but then there is a lot of differences in the hardware. From touchscreen, display, multiple sensors, one of the cameras and the charger those are all different, probably more parts as I only quickly looked over the hardware details, and this is where quite some work is hidden.
Aside from that, releasing a ROM without having at least one device for testing locally is not really feasible. It's not automatically that if it builds it also boots and/or works, that would be too easy.

I'm sure that it would be 100% possible, but I don't own this device,
like Don Carnage wrote it wouldnt make much sense just to build anything without the ability of testing it.
If i think about, I know that at least I would have to overwork the existing sensor hal, maybe audio (if its also different), some driver's and much more.
I already thought about this some month ago and tried to buy a used device, but they are very rare at our location.
If someone would donate a device, I would try it, only then it would make any sense.
But yes, this is OT here, but you can write me a PM if you want to know more.

Well I would be glad to test for you! I can't donate my device, as I don't have multiple of these though... but I can possibly send you logs.
You can post it as an "untested" ROM on the /e/ forums BTW. Maybe others there would test for you. I'm actually testing an "untested" /e/ ROM for one of my other devices. So far that ROM looks pretty f**king awesome! I get better battery life on it, and there's an even deeper control of privacy over LOS.
I don't know, but maybe you could order one from eBay? I just did a search for "n8013" and found a few listings like this one for example... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Ga...sh=item3ff2ab2fee:g:~wwAAOSwiSpgCKcN&LH_BIN=1
As time goes on, I have come to hate and despise Google. They've been doing evil things (Project Veritas has plenty of evidence of this) and Android is becoming more and more locked down/proprietary with a "look, but don't touch" attitude. Even Samsung has just recently started barring third party replacement parts too, joining Apple in this greedy "planned obsolescence" mantra! These older devices without all that crap IMHO are just getting better lol. Yes, they might be slower; but at least we still keep useful legacy features and we can tinker with our devices a bit!
I'm wanting to rip out as much Google as I can from my life and have ownership of my data. I've already taken some steps towards that goal, as I have obtained an old netbook that I've repurposed as a local server.

This was ment for n51XX devices, but anyway, maybe it would be good to start build /e/ based on android 9, because it runs very smooth and on android 11 I still have much more work todo.

Hello XDA!

I'm a software engineer that started to develop android apps recently. Though my first experience with android development was... hard to remember the date, I've been a student and we all had android 3.x. A lot of new stuff has happened to android since then
Also going to try to update os version on my Galaxy S9, probably some LineageOS is my only option. So it feels like I should be here and I am happy to be here!

I'm a software engineer that started to develop android apps recently. Though my first experience with android development was... hard to remember the date, I've been a student and we all had android 3.x. A lot of new stuff has happened to android since then
Also going to try to update os version on my Galaxy S9, probably some LineageOS is my only option. So it feels like I should be here and I am happy to be here!

Welcome to XDA!

Question Why no custom ROMs yet?

Hello,
I've been missing for quite a long time from XDA, but I'm about to get a new phone soon (maybe another OnePlus?) and I came here to check for new custom ROMs updates.
But it seems I cannot find any custom ROM for the OnePlus 10 Pro (yet?), why is that?
Thanks for the info.
No msm unbrick tool, no sources and so on.
Oneplus sucks every phone a little bit more! 10 pro is definitely my last OP phone
You can try GSI roms, but they're buggy (e.g. fingerprint sensor is not working)
Also you cannot unbrick your phone unless you send it to 1+ which makes development hard
Source tree is different default compilable sources.i hope someone could port it.
All of the above! Everything is different now a days with "all" OEM's, Google, Carrier's, etc.
But if some motivated Developers get the device, then who knows what mods will come our way....
Also, Magisk Modules are the modding wave !
Cheers

What mods are you using mate?
There are already custom ROM for Xiaomi 12/Pro which also use Snapdragon 8 gen 1 so maybe there's luck but OnePlus sources are lacking and I asked Luke1337 and he is not interested in blind building since he ain't got the device.
See a my reply to other post on oneplus 10 pro

It's truly a sad time to be an android user....
But i've got a little thought in the back of my head that i can't shake, i think things will change.
No idea how it'll happen, may take a while, maybe after the release of the T / R 10 devices.
Time will tell, but yep it's certainly a crap time for Android; when a google flagship and oneplus devices don't have a single official ROM (pixel has AOSP unofficial afaik) it's time to re-evaluate your purchases a lot more carefully.

Yeah, I remember the old times here on XDA, there was so many threads proposing many different flavors.
I used to flash and try new ROMs almost everyday...
Now I have to get a new phone, I came here to check and I've realized it all changed.
It's even hard to find ROMs for Google Pixels and OnePlus phones, I don't know what happened but it's kinda frustrating...
Guys just relax and give some time for developers.good news for sm8450 chipset is someone ported device and vendor tree for Xiaomi phones.i hope not far our phones .just relax.

Honestly mate, I've had enough phones to know that it should have happened by now.
I'm very patient, no problem in waiting, but every single OnePlus device has had several ROMs by this point bar none

Don't worry, we are just talking and comforting each other...
But well, I remember ROMs used to be posted here (almost) even before phones were available to be bought.
And since it seems that Google Pixels too lack of ROMs, I have a feelings things has changed lately somehow... but we all hope you are right man!
Why do you need google roms? are they better?
Otherwise it finds 2-3 threads about to change to global or EU version.
But that is not you want?

Google has made a lot of changes to the OS that just make everything a headache for custom ROM devs so that's not helping. The writing is on the wall for the Android ROM community and once Google finally forces hardware attestation the inability to easily hide root or unlocked bootloaders at all will kill off a lot more interest. The future of mobile phones is one of two separate walled gardens.

The only issue is erofs partitions. Everything else can be edited to change values. Maybe devs will have to find a way to make the rw. That's the issue I see for the future. But pa said they made a build with erofs for op7 so maybe they are looking into it.

There's also the fact that A/B partitions lead to plenty of bricks and the devs get blamed for it plus the issues that come with AVB 2.0, manufacturers not releasing full kernel sources... It's all a circus.
