Good idea, I was thinking about it. I already read it in some forums or someplace else that in 4.2 dalvik has bean heavily modified since 4.1. I don't know if it's a wise thing to use 4.1's dalvik to build 4.2.

Motorola RAZR i XT890 has a similar CPU. It's ROM can only be compiled with 4.1 as well.

I was searching for solutions how to compile 4.2 for atom, but I haven't found anything yet.

Just a quick heads up: Lenovo K900 has very similar architecture, but the ROM doesn't contains a BoardConfig.mk as well:

Anyways, maybe you find something else useful there.

ps: ZTE Geek also has similar achitecture

Multiwindow mod testers needed!

[MENTION=1565977]DutchDanny[/MENTION]

i hate to hijack your thread but i need a favor as well as a few testers...i'm the developer of the multiwindow mod for a few other tablets and i thought i would try to get it going for u guys as well. I apologize again for the interuption...thx in advance

anybody who wants multiwindow working and would be willing to help test please check the thread below...i would prefer users who know how to manually install files and set permissions which means TWRP is recommended (root explorer can be used for the first few tests since no major system files are being changed). I have already put together 2 test zips (see post #10)...i'll be awaiting feedback but please understand that this may not work the first time so i will need people dedicated to seeing the mod through to completion.

Root.zip not working

Hi, thanks for all your efforts you are putting into this,

I tried your method and I have the custom recovery installed and it is working fine.. however the root.zip gives me an error while trying to install from the new recovery.

It gives me two lines with an error during install, which I could not see because the device reboots after it is finished, but I see something like "file already exists"

Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

...........................................................................

edit

After researching a little bit further and comparing the picture you put in post one of the recovery I see that I do not have "install zip from sdcard" (only "external sd card") and I do not have "backup and restore" and "advanced" is missing also, and so is "mounts and storage"..

So evidently something went wrong somewhere.

Even so when I boot into recovery I get an error that says "error, no command" and then it continues to the recovery, and I see an error (a lying droid) throughout the recovery. So my first assumption that all was swell is clearly wrong; I do have recovery but I cannot do anything with it.

I am gonna try now to put back the "stock recovery" and re-flash the CWM recovery once more, see what happens.

/edit

...........................................................................

edit2

hmm, I have the md5 error that states that the recovery is invalid, so I guess I have to wait till things are resolved.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for everything !!

busybox

Worked for me too . On p5200.

And got busybox working too.

I am not sure if there is a busybox installer App for x86, I tried Stephen's and JRummy's. No x86 support there.

===== EDIT =====

It seems like "BusyBox X" is up for the task. ​

This is the market link,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitcubate.root.busybox.complete

it has a different version of busybox that the one I used and is not creating standard links by Applets,

but seems to be working fine with p5200

So its "BusyBox X"

OR

the one from attachment installed by the guide below

===============

I found some binaries for x86 time ago and it's working, but forgot the link and references so

I am sorry to not list names/nicks of who compiled it.

How to:

1. To make things easier, you can use Stephen's Busybox installer App to create links

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

you can choose any options and install type you like, I would recommend "Smart install" and install to xbin,

that way you'll not mess links from original system

You can't choose autoupdate of the busybox and you can't update busybox binary from inside the App until it will support x86.

It might be a good idea to uninstall the busybox installer App after first step

IT WILL NOT WORK AFTER THIS STEP. YOU NEED TO PROCEED with next steps

2. Overwrite "busybox" binary file in /system/xbin by the one from this message's attachment

After copying, you can check if its size is 1.05MB (x86 version) and not 800kB (ARM version)

3. Check/change permissions on "/system/xbin/busybox" file to rwxr-xr-x

Links created by ARM busybox installer might not represent all Applets available in busybox binary and there might be also some

which the binary doesn't support.

[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] papo:
You don't need neither of it to flash a custom rom. Not even superuser.

If the custom rom comes in form of update.zip, you'll need custom recovery, like cwm.

If it's flashable, you don't.
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] DutchDanny:
i know it works fine with out them... just wondering why recovery errors on installing "perm" or "symlink"
[Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development] papo:
Sorry, I don't understand.

The recovery is showing errors after you install busybox?

About symlinks and hard links, there is a difference between those two methods,

- "BusyBox X" App - creates hard linked Applets

- Stephen's "BusyBox" used by manual method will create symlinked Applets

I didn't have issues with neither

Try both.

To undo - full uninstall either of them:

On stock fw - delete the content of xbin folder, except for two files: "strace" and "dexdump"

On custom fw - sort files by date to figure out which belongs to busybox

Conencted it again and installed the recovery again, but now WITH the Auto reboot selected.

Reboot and as soon as the Samsung logo occured, pushed the power down button again, to turn the device off.

I keep rebooting into Android System Recovery <3E>

I am sure I got all the steps right and the install in Odin appears successful.

I tried with Auto restart on and off.

My wife did the latest O/S upgrade like 2 weeks ago, could they had killed this method for CWM from the latest official OTA update?

Any suggestions are welcome

[EDIT]

I finally after a 3hr long struggle found a combo to get this going.

First I used Odin to install the pre rooted O/S which I found by googling based on it's filename provided here in the instructions, I simply overwrite the current O/S or whatever parts of it from stock and all my settings and stuff retained

This did a half ass root job which wasn't even real root

Now I tried goo manager but it failed

then I tried odin just like before, and I guess somehow it just worked off whatever files were modified

I now have TWRP and then I was able to install the full root.zip and got real FULL root - not sure if at this point I should had just done a clean install but everything seems quite stable

My only quirks, TWRP acts funny, it's not smooth, maybe I should try CWM I dunno

So anyway, for anyone else having this problem, this is how I worked around mine

Helped another user in which Odin kept telling them it was successful and everything looked like it was correctly being done. Ended up unchecking Auto Reboot, after flashing, disconnected, shut down and entered recovery and this time it stayed. I have a feeling the tab is restoring stock recovery whenever it reboots without entering the custom recovery and selecting reboot from there. I remember somewhere in CWM getting asked if I wanted to prevent stock recovery from being installed when I had it reboot.

Hope this helps.
