Hi,

First of all, everyone knows (or should know) that we never will receive KK TW update of Samsung. So I propose you to create a "team" to port the TW 4.4.2 to our Note.

You can see that it's possible/will be possible, so don't bloat/blame this theard :

I had made a installable package

its installing perfectly

but no boot I guess the problem with the kernel

preload is also perfect

I don't have a perfect tool to edit kernel

I can say for sure when galaxy s2 get a successfull port

then it is easy for our device to port because s2 and note share

smdk4210 chipset :)

Can you upload the ROM ? I will try to help you because I haven't much time now (exams) to build it from the beginning ;)

I'm rebuilding the rom now

I asked for help in kernel setup

he told

1)decompile both kernel

2)zimage(base kernel)------->replacing(port)

3)change some /dev/block

etc.....

I'm doin it now

I'm using archi port

prefer justarchi github repository

OK Thanks a lot for your contribution for this project :laugh::good: But I think you don't have to modify the kernel,, forest will do it. :cowboy:

@forest1971

Ok. Will try to work on ut now that I just completed the latest version of my jb kernel.

No, forest is making it with JustArchi github, it isn't finished yet. I think you won't have to merge forest and n2 kernel because he will make it too :D

This is a kernel version with modified ramdisk.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/ldntupd5xvjvf11/Forest-twkk.zip

I probably should work for TW-KK port.

At least it will boot and has adb working and recovery working.

In case port rom not working you can adb reboot to recovery and get back to your backup rom.

I have also enabled logcat so u can take logcat to debug the port rom.

No guarantee through:laugh:. GL.

He, me and forest are still working on it, but we will be able to do more if you upload the ROM :laugh:
I'll upload it by today

I have lot more zip but this one rar
this one i have not tested

i managed to delete some apps

there may be some problem with preload symlinking

so delete some un used libraris from /system/lib
ex:chatton.****.so
face rec***.so

delete some apps for temporary boot

hope you understood

uploading 17% complted on mediafire:)

    I wrote earlier that there is a problem with unpacking the project

    ok..

    i will upload the latest..but after fixing some
    major if I can and some silly bug

    within 3 days when im free

    coming about project

    now we are facing 3 issues
    1)framework
    2)media server
    3)binder 1

    and other with hwcomposer
    which give lengthy log

    since we dont have hwcomposer which is specifically for smdk4210 and for kitkat (i mean we dont have kitkat) i took hwcomposer from our nearer device tab3 which uses smdk4212 we have no other way

    if we use hwcomposer from cm11 or omni we need to change every library which is called by hwcomposer. if we replaced the require library. then the replaced library will require some other. this way we i should replace almost all libraries .that makes impossible to run twframework..
    so i used hwcomposer from tab3

    in case of kernel i made small mistake its resulting in constant reboot ..
    so i dont wanna irritate @forest1971 more . I decided to download his kernel source.and will build kernel slowly.

    afterwards

    status of today's build

    input keys like vol + vol- power menu home back
    are now working perfectly
    sensors are registering

    well .....well...

    I need help with editing framework
    this is first time where I'm editing android framework deeply
    someone should tell me what are the device specific files in a framework

    and sorry for this lengthy post..:)
