welcome. one of my best things to do on XDA is pull out old devices that have cool hardware but outdated software and I flash them with new ROMs.

Do you have some more details what you are looking for? Because for sure you cannot flash any S4 Rom on our S1 .

I saw the S4 ROM`s available for Micro-max mobile as a custom ROM.. so just want to try my I9000 can be update to firmware since Samsung is stopped the original firmware update.
currently, I am using MIUI ROM custom on I9000.. it`s good & I am happy..but looking for Samsung new firmware..

Those are not ROM ports mate , it's just about theming some core apps like a Touchwiz ( SGS 4 ) rom. You can find such several ports in the development section.
What you're seeing is s4-look ROMs for s1, not actual s4 ROMs that you can flash on an s1.
That's a sure fire way to brick your phone..

Yes.... he could use it, only for 5 seconds during flashing, and then never again, neither phone nor rom.
Not even 5 seconds. I think Odin would fail almost immediately.
The Micromax have rom ports that (quite accurately) resemble the S4 because they take stock 4.2.x roms and theme/mod them. The S doesn't have this option

My question is as follows. I have a Tab S2 9.7 with OJ4 and Android 5.0.2. I have installed TWRP on it and also rooted the Tab.
But now, I wish to flash a new rom on this tab, but how should I do that, do I need a new kernel, do I need another android version, what custom rom is adviced?
In the roms here, I see they are usually for OH7 with android 5.1.1
So please, is there somewhere a step-by-step "guide" to flash a new custom rom on the above mentioned Tab S2,
Many thanks in advance for any help!
Looking in development section there is not much custom ROMS for T81*? Tab s2 9.7 don't tell much and if you are on OJ4 bootloader I would recommend upgrading it to 5.1.1 one by just flashing firmware with Odin, you won't be able to downgrade I guess. The worst part about tab s2 it's cpu and the lack of custom ROMS because of samsung being a prick.
Hi,
Is there a way to root the new upgraded Tab s2 T819N or the T813N?
Just received it today and want to root but can't find not much on these new tab s2's
Thanks.
I don't have the device (yet), but the new Snapdragons are going to be rootable with Chainfire SuperSU zip when a custom recovery like TWRP is available.
The Galaxy A9 Pro has almost the same specs as the the new Tab S2: Same CPU/Chipset and same Android Version out-of-the-box (Marshmallow). I've seen a video on Youtube on how to root the Galaxy A9 Pro and maybe, just maybe, the TWRP for it is compatible with the newer versions of the Tab S2. Feel free to try at your own risk. I would risk it by myself, but as I've said, I don't have the device yet.
quite a challenge, any chance to brick the device ?
or just wait till a new custom recovery is out?

Hello All,
is there any technical reason(s), why there are so few Custom ROMs for the S5 Mini, in comparison to older Samsung Galaxy smartphone models?
I see for example there's (unofficial) LineageOS 16 (Android P) for S4 mini, but not for S5 mini.
Thanks in advance for any reply.
I think you're failing to look in the right places.

The only thing that I failed in my post was to have forgotten the 16 for the LineageOS version available for S4 mini, but not for S5 mini. Of course I know the "Android development" forum for S5 mini.
I think it all depends on the available time for developers. New devices imply new efforts and learning curves, besides having the phone for dev/testing the ROM.
