[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
This is a project I started to work on an AOSP ROM for our Grand 2.

When it gets to boot successfully, I'll make a DevDB thread for it.

The Grand 2 and the Moto G share the same chipset, the Sanpdragon 400. I'm downloading it and applying a few patches to see if it works.

I'll upload my success/failure here.

This is also a request for devs to help.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
you would have better luck porting the sgs3/4/5/note3/mega CM rom, because they were made by samsung.

even though they dont have the same cpu it would literally be easier to port cm from one of those devices than from a different OEM.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
I'm going to try it if my Moto G ROM port fails. But don't these devices have totally different CPUs? The only other Samsungs with this chip are the Tab 4 variants (a ported Tab 4 ROM won't work) and the S3 Neo+, which doesn't have any custom ROM.

As you are a developer, can you help me if I use a CM ROM from the devices you mentioned? The patch applied only works for ROMs for the same CPU type. I don't think it will work in this case. And does a TouchWiz kernel work over an AOSP/CM ROM.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
that was my point, that those devices are closer because it has teh name samsung on it than this does to the moto g with the same chipset.

the moto g roms dont boot on the moto g 4g, times have changed to where roms are VERY device specific. i mean CWM has to have 2 versions because teh 4.3 version wont even work on teh 4.4 version..
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
Okay. I'm trying the Mega 6.3's CM ROM, as the Mega is the closest Samsung phone to the Grand 2. Thanks.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
Moto G ROM failed to boot. Though it passed the GALAXY GRAND 2 SM-G7102 thing at boot, it gives a flash of light and reboots the phone. Probably a result of using a TouchWiz kernel?

Failure will be uploaded later today.

My patch was about copying files from a Grand 2 ROM (TouchWiz used) to the new ROM.

IT FAILED. Trying on the Mega 6.3's CM build.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
no its because you used a cm rom that wasnt made for this device. you cnat port roms like that you need to take teh device tree and fully make cm11 using that and compile it.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] rishabh_0895:
wat about miui??
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
Which I didn't ever understand. Can you help me?

Do you take the device tree thing as a file?

Is building CM from that harder than building a computer program using VB.NET, or harder?

Can you help me cuz I never built a ROM that way.

If it needs Linux, then I got it (32-bit Ubuntu and x86_64 Fedora), though Windows is better.

And thanks for patience with my dumb questions
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-android-from-source

I found this thing. Can you help me by translating this to human-understandable form? Could you just carry out the steps and I'll test and do virtually everything you need to do as if you had the device in your two bare hands?

Or can you just give me instructions and I'll execute?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
No.

building Cm is fairly straight forward if your device is officially supported, this device doesnt have anything. someone needs to download the source code for CM, grab my devices trees and add in all the missing info by studying the stock rom and comparing it to similar device. this can take anywhere from days to months, and even then some devices end up with stuff that is forever broken.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
Thanks a lot.

So it needs a really experienced developer, whereas I am a Grade 10 student at school who knows no android programming. Sorry for wasting your precious time. But do you anyone who's willing to do it? I have school, and my parents do not let me give up schoolwork to porting a ROM.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
Sorry but there isnt a bunch of peopel out there waiting for new phones to port CM to, how it works is someone with the phone ports cm and once it is considered good enough is submitted to be made official through their gerrit. then they have to become the maintainer of it and any code changes, updates etc have to be handled. its a lot of work. it doesnt need to be experienced, just a matter of fast learning as well as having a background in java/c really helps.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
Thanks. Do you have the a link to the vendor trees? I'll try to check them. But tell me how to compare them and where is the missing info to add. I'll do it. Fast learning is done while you tell me to compare. So, it's me downloading the device and vendor trees, then what? Your turn.

P.S. 1. Stuff that's forever broken came to happen with the Galaxy Star. It has a CM ROM, which boots, but has no audio, no ril, no camera, and broken menu/back keys.

2. Are you American? I was born there too! Nice coincidence!

BTW, which state are you from? I'm from Illinois.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] keshavt:
In AOSP, SystemUI and Build.prop require the main effort. If they are ready, you pretty near?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
Not exactly. There's a lot of work to be done on ril, camera, Wi-Fi, and other hardware drivers, in addition to the kernel. I'm thinking about borrowing some files from the ill-fated CM build.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] techmate98:
What happened brother any progress
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
Have paused development because, when I asked him for a couple of files from his failed CM build, mukulsoni told me to wait a little because he was nearly done with his CM11 build.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] techmate98:
great!!! so is his build working now
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] aapav01:
HE Is still working
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
I don't have any idea. Ask him via PM (mukulsoni).

Just don't bug him with PMs.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] nar67:
any new for this rom ?
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
[MENTION=5067245]aapav01[/MENTION]

Can you please give me (via PM) a copy of your CM (I know it doesn't boot) to try and merge with my ParanoidAndroid build?

It might (70%) work!

Please don't fail me!

I swear I'll destroy all copies when I'm done!
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] aapav01:
I already that tried that types of thing and just make it like this will not be useful and actually it stuck on GRand 2 logo :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
But I swear my mod didn't get stuck on the Grand 2 logo.

It went past, but flashes white (0.01 sec or sth) and reboots.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] WaseemAlkurdi:
You won't lose anything by giving me a link!
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] Rox:
I have phone very simmilar to your ( s3 neo.with msm8226 ) and i am willing to help you. I am already in contact with one of developers for your phone. Maybe we can create chat on hangouts or.community to unify all samsung msm8226 devs...

My CM boots if i remove libsecnativefeature.so and after that RIL and camera wont work. Sound is buggy , shouldnt be so hard to fix it. I put SELinux on permissive , i will create policies later.

If you put libsecnativefeature.so in system/lib of booted rom, RIL starts working.

Working to fix rest of bugs... also we can make samsung msm8226 common repo and join CM for official builds.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Android Development] khan_frd2002:
you guys can also try out redmi 1s rom.. its has same processor msm8226

give it a try ;)

I had similar issue ... solved.

PROBLEM: Every time when i flash cwm recovery through odin everything goes normal. still unable to boot in recovery mode.

SOLUTION:

1. restart phone in odin download mode by vol-down+power+home. connect to odin uncheck auto reboot in odin while flashing recovery image.

2. flash cwm recovery image and wait until it finishes.

3. remove battery and place again.

4. boot in recovery by pressing Vol-up + power + home

5. select install from sdcard and install supersu or superuser ( this step will root phone and prevent cwm recovery menu to be replaced by stock version)

<--- Dont forget to hit thanks

odin not detecting i9082

brother i have same issue , not even going to recovery mode , but going to download mode and when connect via cable to run odin , odin is not detecting it , installed samsung drivers but no luck at all , still not detecting .

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] jasjamming:
HI Everyone,

Ive tried a leather case - didint like it as you have to flip open flaps to access it and makes phone calls akward.

Ive tried an alloy case - you have to open it to use it and use the keyboard

Silicon Case - bad experience using these because I used one on my old Nokia N73 and it still dented the housing when it was dropped.

Now, does anyone know where to get a crystal clear plastic hard case that has 2 parts, one to cover the front and one to cover the back whicl still getting access to the screen. I know the screen wont be protected but a screen protector will do the job of preventing scratches. Also, a swivel belt clip screw mount on the back will be nice too,

I know there are some for the Wizard, but I havent seen any for the Hermes yet. This case will be ideal as you get all the access to the device and you dont hide the beauty of it behind leather and alloy like in other cases.

Any help will be appreciated
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Philip:
Don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I just had a look on eBay and there aren't any listed there. I would have thought that if anybody was manufacturing such a case that they would be available on FleaBay.

Ive sent two request to Boxwave. Their response is need more request.

I have been looking for a Crystal Case before I even got my 8525. I love this type of case. Sadly though it doesn't exist yet.

If you guys gohere and request an Active Case maybe we will have one soon. Note you must select Active Case because the web page loads with a check mark next to the ClearTouch Anti-Glare and that's not the same.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] jasjamming:
yep, i put in a request.

this type of case will be ideal as it will show the sleek lines of the tytn/jasjam, protect it, and allow keyboard access without unclipping anything.

what could be simpler....?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] shigeo:
i think the best bet is going to be check with boxwave to see when they get it, i personally did not like the crystal clear on my 8125 it just felt wrong i gave it to one of my coworkers

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 2k14:
My Acro S has been good to me for 2 years now. I love everything about it. Still looks good now with minor scratches and some of the silver thingies scraped off, a bit. Waterproof has also been great. Never had a problem with it and has NEVER been sent to repairs in ages (no screen protector and case for sometime now too, well I'm not very much of a klutz anyways). Fingers crossed, I'd go and rely on Sony's hardware any day!

I'm eyeing for an upgrade soon. Z2 is too big for me. I'm tempted on the Z1 Compact though. Perfect size for me, high-end specs (of this time), probably has a good battery life with that 720p screen (instead of 1080p, good enough on a 4.3 inch anyways), waterproofing and hopefully a good camera. And dat pink doe! Price is already pretty cheap now and will go down further when the Z3 comes out soon. Hopefully my next phone will last the same amount of years.
