NOUGAT 7.1.2 Port for the Galaxy SL
​

Howdy y'all.

Android 7.1.2 Nougat has been ported to the Galaxy SL.

Developers work on these projects on their free time! They are not forced to work on this so be nice and respect them.


The development thread is located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-sl/development/rom-omnirom-7-1-2-samsung-galaxy-sl-t3602461.
Download links can be found in the development thread above, however;
Please keep all discussions not related to development here, this helps the developer focus and avoid common questions that can be answered by other members.

To quote Technohacker1995:

Things to take a note of

• This ROM is still a Work In Progress. As such, some features do not work, as listed ahead
• GApps is NOT RECOMMENDED as there is very low amount of /system partition space
• Make sure you keep a backup of your files. If flashing from stock, this WILL wipe every partition
• This ROM does not come with CJK fonts to make it fit in the /system partition. Therefore, Chinese text rendering will be broken
• This ROM does not come with AOSP WebView or Chromium. They will be offered separately
• This ROM is not rooted. Flash a root zip manually.

Steps to flash

• Reboot to Recovery.
• Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
• Select the ROM zip from your SD Card and flash.
• Reboot

Current port is based on Omni ROM, this will be changed to LineageOS soon.

All credit is given to Technohacker1995, and dhiru.

L2read?

I know another topic exists, but today i saw something interesting, we don't only have a 'picture', take a look here: https://github.com/dhiru1602 , you'll smell some jellybeans around

Here are some interesting parts of the code:

Read.
I am looking at the code that dhiru is currently putting on github.

Also, the other thread's op is so plain, never updates, has no info on cm10.

It's in the first line for god's sake.
I am looking at the code that dhiru is currently putting on github.

If u want to create new threads then as u wish. Anyway just for information that Dhiru is able to boot JB whose screenshot I have attached in here. Many things are not wotking which were wotking in cm9. So thats why he has not released yet in public. These updates he puts on facebook but I never post those things here. Because noobs will just ruin the whole thread by asking ETA. Dhiru is working on new hardware drivers released by TI sources which will improve JB UI.

I hope JB discussion will remain in this thread only. If noobs start to flood cm9 development thread then really I am going to report about those silly noobs to moderators.

I already know that he got it to boot before, this thread is basically a discussion thread to actually reduce noob spam volume, the other thread doesn't include anything really, and is out dated.
See the github? changes in the last hours, that's what i am covering here.

In this thread, let them spam till tomorrow, it's the general section and there's no harm in clicking the 'report' button

[shail139]

As this is in earliest alpha phase, will surely need to revert back to CM9 after testing, so for that will we need to start from KPE things or directly CM9 can be flashed ??

 

[ollivong]
