Samsung Galaxy Camera 2

[Illusive Man]

I recently purchased a refurbed Galaxy Camera 2. I got it rooted, but want to install a custom recovery. I went to TWRP (preferred), but they don't offer a recovery for the EK-GC200. I see where some have installed a custom recovery, but for the life of me I can't seem to find one for this device. Can someone help me with this? I'm not new to rooting on installing custom recoveries/ROMS, and not new to Samsung (I rooted my s3-my Note 4).

I came across this today. Its a custom ROM of Android 5.0 for the galaxy camera 2 and provides a suggestion for the recovery.

I HAVE NOT installed this on my Galaxy Camera 2, so I cannot speak to it, but the recovery should at least be helpful to you.

If you do decide to install Lollipop on it, lemme know how you like it. It looks like its a stock 5.0 as if it was just an android device with no special camera stuff. Not sure if Samsungs Camera App is downloadable separate, or if there is just a better camera app in the play store that would be more useful.

I am curious about this ROM, but just got my camera yesterday and dont really feel like installing a custom rom on it yet. So far thing runs like a charm with everything I want disabled and turned off, so i have no real reason to want ot change it.

anyway, heres the link:

*for some reason I cannot post the link into the reply without part of it getting starred out.
Just google
"custom roms for samsung galaxy camera 2"
and its the 4th result

The article claims you can just download from the playstore and install recovery.
2. Install the ROM Manager on your Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 Gc. Get it from Google Play Store, then install the clockwork mod recovery. You also can use ROM Installer application from JRummy Apps Inc.(Get it from Google Play Store).

The article is fake, which is pretty obvious if you do any kind of fact-checking or research and I expect trying to flash anything it links to will brick your camera. There is no custom recovery available for the GC2 yet. As far as I know, I'm the only one that has been working on one (and I haven't released it yet because the zoom/volume inputs aren't working currently). There is no Lollipop build for this device either, custom or official. To the best of my knowledge, Samsung hasn't commented if they're going to release a Lollipop build for this device or not.

The $450 price tag turns away a lot of developers to this device. I was able to score mine for $200, but I work full time and take classes when I'm not working. I can't commit to developing for this device in my spare time.

WoW! I didn't know that XDA Developers are developing ROMs for Galaxy Camera! Maybe I can try it...

E se o Galaxy Câmera 2 modelo EK-GC200 fosse capaz de receber alguma rom portada mais atualizada ou rom personalizada com android mais atual e ainda rodasse nele aplicativos de câmeras mais atuais como a famosa Gcam da Google ou outros como Filmic Pro etc... Alguém topa desenvolver? Recentemente comprei 1 em boas condições, mas meu conhecimento é de apenas usuário, adoraria saber desenvolver para ver o que nos dias de hoje esse aparelho poderia fazer sendo atualizado

What if the Galaxy Camera 2 model EK-GC200 was able to receive some more updated ported rom or custom rom with the latest android and still run on it more current camera applications like the famous Google Gcam or others like Filmic Pro etc... Anyone up for development? I recently bought 1 in good condition, but my knowledge is only user, I would love to know how to develop to see what these days this device could do being updated
