Porting Roms

[rfb813]

With the SII, there were Threads on how to port Roms from the international to US version. I tried a few and was successful and I'm really not a programmer but willing to learn. Since there appears to be similarity between the Note 8 and 10.1 could a "how to" be developed to do this? Maybe its too hard and too involved, but thought I'd ask.

I cant say this will work for sure, as i dont have the device I cant say. But considering the similarities between devices, this is what you should do:
1. replace usr / vendor / bin / xbin from 8.0 to 10.1 rom
2. replace boot.img
3. logcat alot.

Tried a 10.1 Rom but when I tried to replace the files It wouldn't let me. Got an error code.

Unpack both to seperate folders, replace the stuff, repack as zip. goto CWM and mount system just in case and flash

I ended up doing that. flashed it. Got though the Aroma and booted. Got the boot sound but the screen was black. I didn't do anything to the build prop, would that have a problem? I didn't mount system.

Thankyou for that! im one step closer to getting the note 8.0. Anyways do

adb logcat > logcat.txt

and send me the output file. From there we can figure out what went wrong.

Sorry not familiar with adb and getting logcat. In reviewing the setup from Aroma I noticed it flashed the 10.1 8010 wifi only kernel. Maybe I have to flash the kernel for the 5110. How do I get the kernel for the 5110?

I had previously replaced the boot image in all the options. I replaced them again and flashed. Same situation, get boot sound but black screen. I have been using this one ROM maybe I'll give another one a try. But will stop for today. Thanks for your help.

Tried another ROM this morning. Started booting but black screen. Been trying to port Note 10.1 Roms. Checking the specs the Note 8.0 looks more like a large Note II. Any Ideas about porting from the Note II to the Note 8.0?

I cant say anything till I have the device in hand. 53/400 received . But logcatting is the way to go.

Its great that we are working to get developers interested in the Note8.0. There are already many custom Roms out for the 10.1 and the Note II.
With the similar Hardware on both these devices I would hope we could find a way of porting some of these Roms to the Note 8.0. This would open up the options to Note 8.0 users dramatically. I have attempted to port but I don't have the skills needed. Can anybody with more knowledge be it the original developer or a more experienced person get behind this effort?

Yeah stock ROMs can be ported easily (after i find all proprietary files for this device). The first one i'll be porting is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216311 or the note 10.1 stock ROM

gl man if you get it before me (you prob will) let me know if i can help any. im experienced in porting roms from different chipsets so doing it for identical chipsets should be a walk in the park
