I really want to contribute to this community. Where do rom hackers start? Just download the aosp and start reading? Must a dev be a kernel hacker to do this kind of stuff?

Very promising to see a bonified Android Dev usin' the Sprint tab! I'm no Dev, but I'd love to hear your progress... I too have wanted to try and learn, but life seems to play great defense...lol. let us know how hard it is to get the toes wet!

good start point for someone learning how to make a custom rom would be to download a rom and unpack it..
you will see then what its made of and if you feel like it you could simply add a few bits re-theme it remove a few items then .zip it all back together...
this would earn you the title of a 'Win-Zip-Dev' !!
or you could just download android sdk learn a bit of java and learn to love linux for a year, then you would more likely find yourself with a more respectable 'Rom-Dev' status.
good luck - happy development

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for
Most ROM hackers here repackage Samsung's binary releases with extra/or less stuff and sometimes modified initramfs/kernel.
If you want to build CM6 from source I can help you with that, PM me.
Good luck with AOSP, it is missing ton of stuff to run on Tab.
I know this is developement section and i should not post like this but i want to tell that whenever i open this developement section i see some new froyo custom roms or rom upgrades with several new features , nothing more. I think it is enough creating roms like v1.0 then v1.1 then v1.2 then v1.3 and so on. Galaxy 5 uses enjoying cyanogen but we can't. All devs are in the race for providing better froyo roms but no on one wants to provide cyanogen, why? because it is not possible. If port of cyanogen is possible in g5 then not in g3. G3 is better phone then G5. Shall we have to satisfied only with froyo roms? All devs are giving their best but it is enough creating new version of froyo in every week, do something new, port CYANOGEN which we really wants.I don't know anything about programming, coding, i can't do anything but all u devs are able to port cyanogen to our device. So please stop doing like v1.0=>v1.1=>v1.2=>v1.3 and do Cyanogen.All devs please combilne at one place and give us CYANOGEN.
Cyanogen can be ported to our phone. I have no idea how can i do this, i may give it a try in summer but i will fail, it is sure. But i will start to learn coding, & kernel compiling (the basics).
Maybe a few of the devs come together, make a team and then work on this
m ready to learn and try
you are right but seriously its not EASY! you should have very good programming skills... and why is CM so good anyway? i would prefer MIUI port. when you say cyanogen mod i assume you mean the latest GB version? what is so great in GB anyway? i mean yeah its newer than froyo but still, i have my own tablet and it runs 2.3 (3.0 is coming ) and i dont think its that great... i like the edge glow and on/off animation but thats it. we CAN have the same features on froyo! and besides IF we would port GB it would take so much time that android 2.5 would be out already and then everybody would say that GB sucks... thats all
It's a lot lot of work to do it.

Hey, like u modify kernel with coding, cant we modify the ROM from the source files??not for cyanogen but to improve froyo better??

In fact, you must start from source files as you must compile all. No ?
In example, for gingerbread, I started compiling it from google source, but I'm stuck with libaudio library.
I took libaudio source code from sgs and I will see if I can compile them and continue.
In addition, you should adapt kernel 2.6.35 for the apollo device, and that's a big work too.
Or if we are lucky, kernel 2.6.32 could work ... I don't know.
I know it is not easy but please devs do something. If porting once started we will defenetily get Cyanogen.
The thing is cyanogen takes alot of time and there's no encouragement so I say whoever devs GB then I will donate £10 to them and I know many others will.

The best thing wat I feel is stopping any further froyo roms n start porting cm/miui/gb same as v0.1 > v0.2 releasing small mods I think everyone here will help testing them....i dont mind even my phone explodes...i have no idea how u techie guys do all this things all I know is flash watever u guys release n test it so we can make a better g3...

well do that as soon as the guy who already did that will release his mod
We shall ask motafoca for help, he does not have a sg3 but has a lot of knowledge and experience porting Gingerbread to sg5!
Once we have some clue or knowledge on how to start with we then can try/experiment ways to accomplish CyanogenMod.
Some proof for Sg5 having 2.3>here
As for people who want to port GB or Cyanogen flores said in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13132913&postcount=51 that he has already done work on gingerbread so i guess devs like apollo or other people who have experience in the kernel front can have something to work upon....... what i mean is there are a few devs who have mentioned about their incomplete works on Cyanogen/gingerbread, if an experienced developer can combine all their individual work we can have something actually working........

ok first of all dont take flores too seriously... he just talks too much and never does anything so i doupt that he has done anything more than looked at GB and said he can port it... i have asked about his project and quess what? nothing.
True is that we have too many custom roms, but changes only name and theme. We can customize everything in froyo rom, but we need to have some1 who can customize kernel! We have one kernel by our hero marcel and thats all! His kernel is used by every rom here. Always same:
New custom rom!
Same features as another rom
Thanks to marcellube for his kernel
We dont need gb, we dont need cm7
But
We need MORE KERNELS!!!

question for all! how can you ask for cyanogen if you wont help anyone? i have asked for people who know java (i know there are people who knows java) but nobody hasnt commented on my thread we could do it but nobody wants to help... all we need is some guys who knows java programming... so is there ANYONE? if there is contact me on this thread or my other thread in general section....

Keep your development to yourself. There is no need for another sense 2.1 ROM.
VigiDroid works on his SenseOnFire and that is enough. There is no guide for ROM developing. And don't be tricked that changing a few apps is developing or making an "own" ROM. That is merely scraching the surface that anyone could do. Try compiling cm nightlies from source (many tutorials for that) because the biuldbot is broken as of now.

it doesnt seem hard but maybe Virus or more developer can help me here.
its more because i like the sense 3.5 roms but it seems alot of little bugs and especially that sms split bug. And i want to see if i can fix all that but i need people to start helping me with links or guides.

Hi everyone,
Just creating this thread to see if there is any developer who might want to port/ develop cyanogenmod to the SM-T350.
Currently Evervolv for our tablet is a big step forward, but development for it seems slow. I'm not saying anything bad about the developer, on the contrary, is a big step forward.
Anyone interested on developing some sort of Cyanogenmod or AOSP rom for our tablet, I'm more than willing to become a tester.
Good day to all.

I would be willing to test for you too. Just let me know. I would actually like to learn how to get a device that is not currently supported onto a build like this. Porting?.. If so, What device do you use as the port device?

I'm not really sure on how to port or compile, but I'm going to be searching some other websites (forums) and ask some people from LineageOS on how to port or compile a rom. And sure, you can be an alpha tester after I try it out myself because I don't want devices to be bricked.

I completely understand. Let me know if I can help. I am kind of new at building but am trying to learn as much as I can.

If you have a CM build for the T350 would you mind sharing it? Also did it die due to CM or unrelated?
I've been tossing around what I want to develop on my T350. I would like to use it to learn how to build android from source and install a custom oem android. I'd also like to customize the stock 3E recovery, or fork CWM. A Custom Recovery or modified TWRP is what I'd like to do.
With Android 7.1.1 and 8.0 out now, maybe I'd like to get into a custom intertwined boot.img and recovery.img. Trying to decide how best to setup the dev box.
