[Q] can I natralize n7 rom to viewsonic n710?

Hi,there!
in the first place ,I should give special thanks to webmaster,because I spent many time to register a member of here,but failed,he helped me to make it!thanks!
I bought a chinese tablet ,viewsonic n710,it has similar hardware to n7,maybe I should say ,it's a fake n7.
nvidia t3 cpu ,and 1g ram,8g rom!but its' android version is still 4.04!and unfortunately ,because of the manufacture's reason ,I can not get any big update from them,they just released some patch for this product!
at the begining ,its' recovery was android backup <3e>,as we know ,it can not backup the whole system to external disk,hence ,I spent 3~4 days to naturalize cm recovery to my device ,and finally ,I made it!at here ,I must give special thanks to the author!:good:
here comes my question ,can I update kernal by myself?the first way I thought ,may I replace the kernal by n7's zimage?you know its' kernal version is 4.21 now?and will it work with my n710?
if not ,can I compile the kernal by myself?because I am a newbie with android system,I have no experience on such a project.some documents said that the hardware drivers is included in the kernal,is it right?if it's right ,that's to say ,what I do is only waitting for the manufacture's update?
the second question , can I naturalize n7 rom to my n710? because the system kernal is different.to be honest,and I have no idea about the cause of android boot now.and if it may .please give me some suggestion to do it.because there are little helpful chinese article on learning such technology in china!
appreciated you guys any help and reply!!:highfive:
and finally ,I am so sorry for my poor english!

I highly doubt the nexus 7 ROM will work on your view sonic. There's a lot of differences even though they have the same hardware. I wouldn't try putting a n7 ROM on it. There's a chance you could fry it. I had a view sonic tegra 2 tablet and I know how you feel. They never update anything.

The place to start is by looking at partition/ directory structure.. Im guessing your device is unlocked as you have a custom recovery on it.. If the directory structure is STOCK ANDROID as in 4.0 4.1 . There is a chance with some kernel tweaking you can get it ported. There will NO DOUBT be hardware to not work .
There is not a yes or no answer. Because it Can very likely be ported . its just about how much time you want to spend .And resources available for the hardware in your tablet..
So i would start by looking at the device structure. And compare hardware differences between the device such as wifi sound bluetooth and other hardware .
Its likely will cost you more and frustrations .then just buying a nexus.. But xda is all about what your asking..
GOOD LUCK if you tackle the project...

thank you guys for your advice in the first place!!
although I think that it's very challenged for me,but I still want to have a try first,even I can guess that I will be frustrated in the end!
nowadays my ieda is that don't modify any things on zimage,just simply naturalize the n7 rom to viewsonic n710!!
I think that there's a little chance for me if I keep doing on it!you know ,I am just a newbie on android system ,so in the first place ,I may lost way,
but it's no matter to me if I can learn something from naturalization.so I have decided to make it even I know that I will fail!
good luck to me!

Hi!
Would you be kind to explain me a bit more, what do you want to make with your tablet? Do you want to install nexus7 firmware on it or what?
By the way, do you know how to root this device?

i am very interested in your topic, because i have N710 too!
And want to know which CWM RECOVERY version can be installed? just download a last version?
Can the CWM recovery work right? such as BACKUP?
After analysised the OTA zip, i got some information but not enough.
maybe we can study together you can talk to me in vsset

sorry ,guys,I really did not know that there's some thread with my post after I didn't care this topic anymore,untill one guy sent private message to me,so I thought that should have a look to review !!

all what I want to do is updating to my tablet,of course I have ever installed nexus7 to my device,but failed,it's out of my poor ability on android system!root this device is very simple now ,there's some ways to root it ,you can search it on internet ,especially care the chinese website!

the cwm recovery is 6.1.1.19 ,and the backup function is ok,but I havn't tested restore function till now!!because my tablet still havn't bricked :laugh:I also have a member in vsset,but it seems that few people have enthusiasm on doing something on N710!!

a good news ,I BRICKED THE VIEWSONIC N710 IN INTENDED WAY!!!and used restore function to repair it,it works!!
the cwm group really did a swell thing to android system!!!thanks a lot!
I may release the cwm recovery in public way ,but it depends ,partly because we still have customer service if you bricked your device in negligent way or intended way!!but the main reason is because nobody published rom for N710!!!if you use this device in normal way ,it's hard to brick this device!!right???if you think that with cwm recovery ,your tablet will never be die ,it's wrong!!

first of all ,I am no master!!
according to the reason I told above,I don't want to give viewsonic any reason to refuse repairing our n710 and update their rom with delay!
as we know, we still havn't perfect rom for n710,no matter 1.01 or 1.05,right?
if everyone has cwm recovery,when we blame the gps issue to them ,they may say "install 1.05",when we blame the power issue to them,"install 1.01,that's will be ok",what do you say then??
I think that you can understand it,right?of course I posted such a thread at here that isn't for boast,I really need others experience about naturalazing nexus 7 rom or cm10,you know, that's based on 4.1.x!
I also wish that I can make it ,and then I can do other things for myself,I really spent much time on n710 till now!!
if I knew that someone has made it,I will throw this project as soon as possible!

If you release the rom, we can try to transfer N7 rom to N710 together.

I am so happy that someone has the same thought with me!!
but because of my poor internet speed in china,I am afraid that I cann't!
the size of rom is about 850mb(if what I remember is right),it's a really big challenge for me to upload the rom!
my internet is wireless ,and the upload speed no more than 60k/s,and it's the common condition ,if the weather is bad ,the speed will be more bad!!
if you really want transfer N7 rom to N710,I think that you should not be messed by grabing rom from n710!!after all ,it's the first step you should do.right?
to my opinion ,to transfer n7 rom to n710 is not a good choice,though the hardwares look similar ,but in fact ,the touch pad,gps,camera and so on is totally different,I have ever flashed n7 rom to n710 directly ,but could not boot ,and it's the sure thing what I could image in the begining.and next ,I flashed modified rom which based on n7 rom to n710,still couldn't boot either!(of course,I may do many silly things on N7 rom modification,frankly,I am a newbie on android system) , but if you want n710 to have n7 operation interface(base on n7 rom but have n7 4.1.2 interface),just forget my words!I think that it's possible!
good luck if you really want to tackle it !guy!I also hope that someone can make it,because it can save my time.
and I am so surprised that foreign friends have interest on this device,because the device is not popular at all,even in china!

Is dual booting possible? And would Android pay work ?

I think it would be great to have a daily driver ROM, with all the mods you want. Then be able to quickly reboot to a stock ROM and use Android pay. I know there are odd hacks developers can do to dual boot, and even put an entire ROM in a sort of simlink. It was done on the galaxy s 3 before we had a "African sock puppet" leak us a bootloader unlock. They used a kexec hardboot. I'm not sure if a developer would need to go that far to get Android pay working on a second installation.
So is this feasible?
Is it something that would interest the people in this community?

Completely missed that post. Thanks

While I know it's a Galaxy S4 Thread, the Dev has improved his app so that it can be used with the Moto X Pure, Moto X, and Moto G. I'm currently running Stock 6.0 in Primary boot with Exodus ROM and Ressurection Remix in data slots. There is still an issue with booting from your external SD, but it's something he is working on.

[ROM] LineageOS 14.1 for Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) [SM-J320FN] [UNOFFICIAL] [Q&A]

Hi everyone ! this is our dedicated thread for Q&A about J3 LO14.1 ROM !

hello there...seems everybody is ignoring this part of the thread and posting in the main...LOL...well i just wanted to ask a friend of mine wanted to merge his storage in his wifes J3 2016 device so i said i would research for him as they are both not android enthusiasts,may i ask is the storage merge working on this build so can i merge the ex sd card memory with internal....thank you

I use this ROMs and merge my sd card as adobtable storage, working fine.
I use Easy Adobtable app from google play to split the sd card into 2 partitions.
10% formated as internal storage, 90% as portable.

Hey!
I really appreciate your hard work to make LineageOS on this device working.
Just wanted to build this rom for my own use as I build ROM's for all my other devices as well.
But I encountered an error when building kernel and so the build process stopped with:
make[3]: arm-eabi-gcc: command not found
I'm really wondering what caused that, because for all other devices, especially my OnePlus One, which has also a armv7-a cpu, build process is running well.
I can post the last lines of the build process (debug output) as well, but it's partial in german language.
Maybe you could start telling me what linux distro you're using for the build?
Thanks in advance.

Custom ROM with UVC full support?
Hi dear devs. You are my only hope it seems.
Is there a version of custom ROM for J320FN that includes all the good stuff for UVC functionality? I would really need such a ROM.
(Secondly, I have an old OMIZ BT Keyboard model #OMIZ6221 that connects and syncs with my J320FN and is seen correctly as "BT-FoldableKB" but doesn't work as a standard HID device. It does nothing.)
But what I really need is the UVC full support to connect an external UVC compliant USB cam. (endoscope or DVR etc).
Thanks so much for your efforts and for what you do.
Happy Christmas and a Happy 2018 !!!
P.S. I have no idea if I clicked on the right button. Please for mercy if it was not the right one.

Can we use the SDCARD as internal memory?

Yes, adobtable storage is working.
You can also split the sd card into 2 partitions using ADB command or partition tool
ie : 20% adobtable, 80 ext

How to post a new Question ?

Hi, does the camera work (take videos)
And do I have to rewrite the stock rom before installing this one or I can keep Remix resurection and replace it with Lineage-os?
sorry for my bad english

Why my wifi not working connection to the network and it says no internet. data works.
Yes my internet is working on other devices.

Hi! Can somebody help me ?
How can I change the phone model in build.prop ?
I want to play a game on phone but it not compatible with the phone. I found a solution, if I change the phone model to a better phone the game will work. I change my phone mode but in the settings is still showing SM-J320FN.

Works on j320M?
i'm about to install this rom in my J320M and i'm trying to avoid all possible errors like bootloop, wifi problems, sim problems and mobile data problems

Simply backup your nandroid device

i do want to know if the flicker and VoLTE can be solved in future versions of the monthly or main unofficial (i don't like viper OS themming style)

i do really wanna know the need of monthly updates, why these exist? it's like security patches or some polishing in the code?, i do really wanna know that because i was updating my J320m every month, and no significant difference for me in a general use

Hi, you are my only hope Is not the ROM CASTOM for the SM-J320H? I searched a lot but did not get any results Can you create a rom for sm-j320h? Thank you
Give me a quick answer

Q: do i have to reflash the rom if there is a update?

do we have any hopes for lineageOS 15.1 or 16?

Hi everybody, yesterday i have been able to install lineage-os14 on my device and everything is ok except the wifi that i can't activate.
In my home i have two ssids and i can't connect noone of them.
The system tries to connect many times and writes always (Password saved) or (Wrong password), the same password, used on my laptop is good.

Is there a guide for the J3 prime 327t1?

Newbie here + require a fast updated rom to flash??

Hi all,
I have not been here in yonks but I know this forum is always helpful. I am trying to flash a slim updated rom on my old android galaxy note. Out of no where, so many of my apps on that phone stopped working and it kept saying, this device is not compatible etc. I tried all the tricks and still a lot of apps will not work.
I have Odin pro installed on the phone but I forgot how to use it lol so may require direct instructions. But can someone recommend a fast but small in size build to flash which is updated. It says on my galaxy note that it’s running 4.1.2 which is jelly bean. If I recall it’s probably a custom rom but it’s been so long.
Thanks I advance if anyone can help me with instructions, I know it’s easy to do, but it’s been ages.
Cheers [emoji106][emoji106]

SM-T585 Question

Hi Everyone
I don't know if I am posting this thread in the right place and if I am not I apologise first. I own the Tablet mentioned in the title and something is bugging the hell out of me, I recently installed TWRP and then installed a no-verity mod or whatever they are called and also a gapps mod and finally a Android Rom. Can you tell I am a noob when it comes to this kind of thing. Anyway everything seemed fine and everything worked except Google thinks my Samsung is a Xioami which I am not really happy about, if I could change it so it comes back as the tablet it's supposed to be I would, but unfortunately I can't.
What I am asking is if any of you guys can link me a Latest G apps and No Verity and also a Pie Rom so I can put my tablet the way it should be I would be very grateful. I use Odin and that's the only way I know how to do this. I told you I was a noob,I have tried looking myself but have no idea where to look and what is stable and working hence me asking

"A rose by any other name, would smell as sweet." I don't understand why you are making such a big deal out the name. If you want to pass the safenet, it is NECESSARY. Your choice. Go back to stock, fail safetynet or accept the name change.

Or install another custom rom !
