Hey I am a computer engineering diploma holder, I know few computer languages.. know little bit about how they work, know few things about custom rom, stock rom, custom recovery and stuff. I have a device (sm-t385) Samsung galaxy tab a 8.0 (2017) and I can't seem to find any rom for it, would love if a developer would give me a boost start so I'd develop a rom for it, I know this isn't easy and might even take months... I'm ready for it. ( Paying the developer is a second option, like a plan B kind of option,THAT IS ONLY IF I FAIL AT THIS )
Thank you for reading this message, good day to y'all.

+1, I believe so, and they are on the DEV forum, but it looks like the roms are specific to the version of tab you got!!
So be very careful, the WIFI only tabs are "P1010" so make sure you the posts/external websites lnked on the forum of the ROM you are considering to ensure that it works on P1010.
As I almost started the install OVERCOME when I checked the external site, its states specifically not for WIfI Only.
But keep looking.
Good luck
I have a tab wifi -p1010 ,it was a present and it stays on dust because is no usefull.Samsung just wanted to sell to stupids people like us ,their interest are just money,so we will have no updates to gingerbread,honeycomb,etc...I saw in tab development a lot of custom ROM and i am sure that is possible to put in our ,,cheap tab,, a custom rom,but,as long our place is just in in Q&A section,as long we don.t talk with devs ,we will not succed.I am pretty sure that samsung sold a lot of wifi tab so, we should find a way that someone (devs/chefs) see us..
ANY SUGGESTION?

Yes. Buy yourself a proper tab. I will. And it will not be Samsung again.....
having search high and low there seems to be nothing for this tablet - ;o(
I do not understand why this can't be ported - it is on the same TI OMAP SOC that other gingerbread devices use.
See my technical question about this posted at this URL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357414
It can be ported, but devs does't bother to do it. They prefer new shiny superduper tabs, our is packed with old HW.
Well shoot, lets offer them some kind of gift then. Since it should be a matter of removing cell modem and sim drivers, shouldn't be too much work right?
I am willing to kick up 20$ to the dev group for a CM7 or GB update. Any other P1010 owner's want to chip in to such a fund?
Any dev's interested in some holiday bucks?
I would throw in £10 for a gb/cm port
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App
I would throw in $10 for ics ported. About time for a bounty thread.
20 euro from my part for any custom rom with gingerbread
20$ at least from me. Wife bought this for me last year, feel bad cause I get hardly any use out of it now :/ would love to have some new life breathed into it.
U$S 30 from me. GB at least ! ! !....
Hi guys!
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 8.9. Now, I have a few beginner's questions to ask before I go ahead.
I would like to root my Galaxy Tab 8.9. How easy is it? And how easy is it to screw it up? Will I cause a permanent damage to the device if I screw it up? Is screwing up or permanent damage such as hard brick even possible?
I would also like to install ICS/CM9 on it. But, I also intend to use this device for Video calls over VOIP (using Skype). I believe that that this device does NOT have official ICS yet. But is it going to get one (i.e. Samsung planning to upgrade this and if so, is there a timeline?). And I also note that ICS/CM9 ROMs don't have camera working. Is there a way to work around this so that I may run CM9 and still have camera? Else, what is the best ROM you guys suggest for a person who needs a usable camera?
I want to be careful with this device, as I just bought it and I don't want to screw it up and end up with a $400 paper weight. So, please let me know if it is safe to root and install ROMs on it.
Thank you!
Root is very easy and almost impossible to ****. Samsung devices are usually very hackable.
The 8.9 has unofficial ICS ROMs of both the AOSP and the CM9 flavor.
Neither has camera support but it is coming eventually. If nothing else, Samsung has already promised a ICS for the 8.9 so its a matter of when not if.
I hope you enjoy the cmmnity and our new tablet
Hey guys. Need some advice. Got a new galaxy gear 1st edition for Xmas. I have not opened it and am debating returning it. Is this thing worth using at this point or is it already outdated ? I presently have a galaxy s3 which is running a cm kit kat variant. I really would rather not switch to touch wiz to use this device. I'm very familiar with flashing roms so if there is a good rom to flash that makes this device great please let me know.
Is this still a decent device? I have never used a smart watch before so it intrigues me.. However I will most likely be upgrading my phone in February or so. Not sure if I will even be getting another samsung. I honestly do not even have the faintest recollection what I would use a smart watch for. If it is just for notifications, I would rather not use the device. I hardly even use notifications on my phone (only ones enabled are text messages).
Tl;dr: got gear for Xmas. Don't have touch wiz. Should I return this?

It's all up to you whether you would like to keep it or return it.
There is enough information on this board to make up your mind about that.
The only think I can tell, is that I absolutely love my watch and I'm glad I kept it
(I got it for free and hesitated to sell it).
With the Null rom, the watch really is so much better than stock, even though the Android version is outdated (Android 4.2.2).
But, from what I understand, someone is trying to port Android Wear onto our watch.
So when he succeeds, the watch is totally up-to-date again.
But for now, I am already happy with what the watch can do already.
But keep in mind, the main purpose of the watch is to indeed receive notifications which appear on the phone.
Nice benefit is that you can call and receive calls with the watch.
Do notifications work with aosp roms? Or do I need touch wiz?

As I have owned both a S4 and S5, but both of them with TW based roms, I can't exactly tell you.
But I've read that people got it working on AOSP roms or even other brands phones (like Nexus, LG, etc).
Or you can use other software than Gear Manager, like SWApp Link
Anyway, there are possibilities but none of them easier than on a TW rom.
Thanks for your help. I think im gonna return this device and wait until the technology matures more before I decide to jump in. Much appreciated.
Will NOTE 8(SM-N950F)(EXYNOS) have Oxygen or Hydrogen(Oneplus) rom???
Or someone can do it??
Thanks your answer.
I Dont think so, why would you want something like that? I like the note series just because these devices are exactly the way they are! I really dont see the point in buying a great note series device for downgrading it later, tbh
ok...because I want to root to use the custromer rom ,and I see oneplus's system I was like it.
Hey y'all,and thank y'all for welcoming me. I'm Philip, a 52 yr old tinkerer. I've been reading post and using help guides from XDA for yrs, just never signed up. The info on here is top of the line and more trustworthy than anywhere else. I bricked my girlfriends Galaxy tab and a couple other devices some yrs back and just recently recovered the tab with help from y'all and a laptop from my neighbor. I admit I like the easy way out and diligently to get some of this done via ota files but I had it done in no time with the laptop and Samsung Kies. She currently has a new scepter 8 qlink tab which is the worst performing device I ever touched and I've been reading some discussions on here about maybe rooting it and flashing an update or custom ROM. Aside from the scepter 8 we have C5_Stratus Elite from True Connect that operates fairly decent but either the phone or android 11 won allow display over other apps even if you enable it in developer mode. I think I read somewhere that flashing to android 12 might fix it. It's not a super big deal but I have a few apps that require it but not allowed due to low end hardware. Anyway that's my story for now. Y'all have a good day.
