Hi everyone, it would be great to revive this (and, why not, other Tegra2-based) tablet by building an \e\ (aka deGoogled-Lineage) for it.
We've opened a dedicated "device request" 3ad @ \e\ community:
https://community.e.foundation/t/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-gt-p73xx-p5-p5wifi/49688
If needed, here's a couple of interesting guides that may help to build it:
How to Build the /e/OS ROM?
[HOWTO] Building /e/ ROMs - a Beginner's Guide
I was asked in another thread I started to pull together all the links - to these forums and elsewhere - that I have found useful. After a while, I decided to pull that information, and other stuff I have learned since I started trying to build ROMs. After a while, I decided to take all the...
community.e.foundation
Hope that inspires.

Before I start: If someone could sticky this, I'd appreciate it. Cheers!
I thought I'd help out and do my own thread to make a list of resources, so it's a easy ride down the road, and we're not having to hit speedbumps and look for threads ourselves. They will be under categories (Custom ROMs, Hacking, Hardware/Software Info, Misc).
Please keep this thread on-topic (discussion about this list, updating the list, etc), if you have issues carrying out anything listed here, either make a new thread with your issue or reread the instructions.
NOTE: I am not responsible for any bricked Tattoos due to user's own failure to follow instructions/people don't understand what to do and go on their own merry way and blow up their tattoo/your tattoo catches fire and explodes into a portable campfire. So, please don't sue me.
Alright, let's get down to business.
Hacking
HOWTO: Flash the Tattoo (Offical ROMs) : this thread.
Superboot & rooting the Tattoo for Custom ROMs: this thread.
Superbooting & rooting Tattoo (experimental): this thread.
Custom ROMs

No *actual* custom ROMs have been released. Will update when some are out.
Hardware Info

Misc Stuffs

I hope this allows us to get our bearings on this awesome device... Let's make the Tattoo version of CyanogenMod... CoburnMOD/TatROMburn anyone?
Cheers all!
Added modaco's superboot thread to the list.
Added the flash tattoo thread link to the list.
Great threat
Hi Coburn64.
Congratulations on the threat.
We really must shake the Tattoo scenne, cause it's a little bit slow.
Count on me to help you.
Thanks
Heh, thanks. I'm just helping out, as we want the Tattoo to shine. It's a excellent unit, and I can't see why it should be swept under the carpet and forgotten.

Well I just want to say that is a great phone. Screensize is maybe small, but I have Android 1.67 version with SenseUi and I must say that this is a very well designed phone with excellent screen resistive, and I gives you the support to develop as multiple applications for this phone.
Thanks for your review!
Hi,
First of all, I know this belongs to the Development forum, but the server won't let me post there until I get first 10 posts somewhere else...
Anyway, I'm trying to compile my own ROM from Google's repository for the first time (2.3.4), so I have a bit of a trouble finding where things belong. There are some really helpful HOWTOs here, but there's one thing I can't figure out and that's the Superuser app. ChainsDD (the author) apparently recently split the GitHub repository into two (one for the actual su and one for the Superuser apk). Could someone explain to me how to get it working? It would really help me to get some proper first kick, so that I could solve next problems myself.
Thanks,
Dave

u see in this forum their are a few rom cooking tutorials which has created many rom cooks and thus many roms for us to use
I humbly request on the guys with knowledge on the same to provide a tutorial on how to cook Roms for our great phone so we could have much more development for our phone for example see below SG3 development forum and ud see what i mean

[dsixda's kitchen]
This is the best kitchen I have found out. (To have rooted ROM, w/o any bloatwares, bash, de-odexing, and many more options)
You need to modify the updater-script file to a greater extent before using custom ROM developed by this kitchen, otherwise there is a possibility to brick your phone.
Though I have found out the correct parameters or changes to this and could build a custom ROM of my own. (fully functional ), but please allow me some time because creating a new thread takes a lot of time. Such that there are no loopholes and nobody should suffer any losses from the tutorial.
Since currently I have a huge office work load, I will post a tutorial soon as I had mentioned before in some other thread.

Just go through the this thread:
[dsixda's kitchen]
for brief details:
dsixda's Android Kitchen
Compatible with Windows (Cygwin) / Linux / Mac OS X
Who is this kitchen for?
Those who are brand new to creating custom ROMs and want an easy place to start learning
Those who just want to modify shipped ROMs or someone else's custom ROMs to their liking
Those who are confused by all those scripts and complex commands required for building and extracting

Guide added in our development section.
Please check: [GUIDE]dsixda's Android Kitchen - Now with Huawei Ideos X6 support(Windows/Linux/Mac)
Supports for cooking stock ROM or custom ROM built on Stock. Not supported for Cyanogenmod or MIUI releases.
Hey Napstar! I have ported Galaxy Mini CM ROM to my Galaxy Y. I have zipped the folder after replacing Kernel and editing several files but when i try to flash it from my stock recovery I get errors like:
assert failed: write_rawimage("/temp/boot.img" ,"boot")
E:Error in /temp/sideload/package.zip
(Status7)
I think something is wrong with the MANIFEST-INF folder in zipped rom.
Can you tell me how to make a new MANIFEST-INF folder for my ROM.
Waiting for reply...................................................
Hi,
some experienced dev can post here some instructions, hints, or anything that could be useful on how to build ICS from sources?
I'm not talking about anything you can find here:
- downloading sources http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
- building sources http://source.android.com/source/building.html
I'm talking about lunch configurations, kernel to use, init script, proprietary files, etc... (I really can't find any guide for this kind of things.)
I never started a new build configuration, I only used "ready-to-build" solutions like CM, and I'm very interested to learn something new.
I think this is a good way to start to work on ICS for our device and share our findings to quicken the work of arcee.
M.
There are some great articles on "porting android". I guess you could start there, that's where I am
You may also want to check out the reading list from CyanogenMod:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_(AT&T):_Compile_CyanogenMod_(OS_X)
It contains two 1 hour long video introductions to porting.
thank you. that's exactly what i was searching for.
Apparently I was searching with the wrong keywords

Yeah, I was searching for a year and only found those links yesterday
This thread is about development, for any other guides you should look here
Hey guys, our beloved phone hasn't got so many developers. So we should encourage the users to do something with their free time, let's call it development.(I an one of them too )
So the idea is: if anyone has some knowledge maybe he will want to share with us. For example: I will do some research and if I am lucky, I will find some guides for beginners in development.
After a while we can even make a document with everything that was posted here.
Useful links:
1) http://stackoverflow.com/ //there you go, you can ask everything about development there but don't forget to come here and share what you have found
2) https://github.com/munjeni/android_device_htc_golfu //ICS CM9 sources for our phone thank you munjeni, for your work
Basic things: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Doc:_Building_Basics
You might have heard the word "git", here is a short explication from Cyanogen
How to port
*here is a nice guide for ROMS
Note: You can port from almost any device but you can try devices similar to our device like LG P500, HTC Explorer, Samsung Galaxy Ace,HTC Wildfire S, Samsung Galaxy Gio etc
*here or here is how you can port any theme to any build
!Compiling things on a virtual machine isn't that good.

Please remember that aircombat has already written some guides for the device. So this'll purely need to be a development based thread.
