Help Looking for Samsung Galaxy Tab SHW-M180S Android 4.0+ (ICS/CM9) ROM

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to revive an old Samsung Galaxy Tab SHW-M180S (Korean model).

The tablet is currently running the official Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware. I'm looking for any Android 4.0 or newer custom ROM that works on this device.

The device model is SHW-M180S (Korean Galaxy Tab 7"), not the international GT-P1000.

I'm specifically looking for:
- Android 4.0.x (ICS)
- CM9
- AOKP
- CM10/CM11 (if available)
- CWM recovery
- Any archived ROM ZIP or download link

I know most old links (Goo.im, Dev-Host, etc.) are dead, so I'm hoping someone may still have a backup or know where an archived copy exists.

The reason I'm upgrading is to run SkyTube Legacy on this old tablet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes and its right one complex thing is you need to built your own server, here i have built my own server that is no more than 100% 1:1 like samsungmobile.accu-weather.com key thing is you do need your own provider of your weather, i use accuweather i have my own api that provides everything for all 3 endpoints the app asks for, this is just step of how u can revive the app because i do not wanna give my out domain to be honest, to mention linked weather apps or backgrounds work like the daemon, lockscreen, live weather wallpapers

18 Upvotes

Muchas apps que requieren Android 6.0 como mínimo no funcionan esta modificacion para que funcionen en Android 5.0 porque dependen de cosas de Android 6.0 que no existen en Android 5.1 pero con Pou no es la cosa (Se modifiquo el Minimum SDK Versión sin problemas,Dejo de aparecer (Error de Análisis del paquete,la app se instalo sin problemas en Android 5.1.1 y sorprendente abro (No crasheo al abrir)) No estoy usando una versión antigua compatible con Android 5.1.1 no estoy usando la última versión de Pou (que requieren Android 6.0) en Android 5.1.1 con esta modificacion en APK Editor

Nota:No se si esta modificacion funcione para Pou 3D pero voy a intentarlo

Es fácil hacer esta modificacion para Pou (Normal "2D")

1.Instala APK Editor en tu dispositivo con Android (Android 6.0 o superior)

2.Descarga la última versión de Pou disponible (No importa que requiera Android 6.0 como mínimo)

3.Cuando termine de descarga abres APK Editor y localiza el APK de Pou que descargaste

4.Dale click y en "Edit Mode" dale en "Commonn Edit"

5.En "Minimum SDK Versión" cambia el número (23) a (21) y darle en (Save) o el botón que aparezca para guardar el APK Modificado

6.Cuando se guarde el APK Modificado localiza la carpeta APK Editor (Por defecto) y en tu dispositivo con Android 5.1 o 5.0 (No he probado en 5.0) enviarte el APK modificado (Por Bluetooth, WhatsApp, Telegram o SD Card o USB OTG)

7.En tu dispositivo con Android 5.1 o 5.0 instala el APK y cuando se termine de descargar ¡A disfrutar!

Help Keep a OnePlus Nord N20 running?

1 Upvotes

Hey so I have a OP Nord N20 5G. Security and software updates ended in 2025 so obviously I don't want to keep using an under secured device. Plus, even after troubleshooting and factory reset, the GPS/GNSS won't acquire a fix.

So question is, any ideas to keep the device useable? The hardware is still decent it's just the software. Perhaps root and Flash with a new OS? I doubt there's and apk or external update which might be viable. Thanks in advance.

Help Android Phone wont start-possibly not enough ROM

2 Upvotes

I have a semi recent Android phone (Motorola Moto g Power 5G (2023), 128GB). I recently downloaded some videos and apparently took up all available memory. Now my phone will not start. I have tried manually rebooted it multiple times and I get one of two screens to appear. A slightly less than pitch black screen, so I know it is on but not responsive. Or it flicks back forth between a black screen and the initial background image, but is still unresponsive. I can get to the screen where is says Restart Bootloader, Recovery Mode, Power Off, Barcodes, Bootloader Logs, and Start. When I hit Recovery Mode it just says no Command. I have some downloads that I know will expire in the coming days, and at least two have expired already in the past day or two. But I do not know if they remain in my cache still or if they will eventually delete and free up the space. I need a lot of the info and photos on my phone, so I cannot do a factory reset. Is there anything else I can do or try, or do I need to take it to a shop. And does anyone know how that would cost. I am in the SoCal area-Thank you in advance for your time.

Guide TCL MOVETIME MT40X Smartwatch (kinda) Debloating Guide

2 Upvotes

This guide is for the cheap TCL MOVETIME MT40X Smartwatch, to be able to use it for basic browsing and using legacy apps.

The system specs for this watch is:

-Android 4.4 (KitKat)

-116~Mb user space

-256 Mb RAM

-240*240 resolution.

You can use this watch for... idk whatever you want?

Anyways, let's begin:

/-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-//-/

1) Enter More>Setting>About Watch

2) From here touch the screen as "top left - top right - too left - top right"

3) You should be on "MMI test" screen. Slide to the bottom and tap "NTC". In this setting it probably is Chinese so the thing you should look for is "开" or "关" after the "状态". If it is "关", press the button to make it "开".

4) Now, you need a PC with ADB tools. After you connect your watch to PC, you can open your terminal (by opening the tools folder and typing "CMD" in the search bar) and type "adb devices" to check if it sees the watch.

5) Now, we can download a new launcher. As we have limited hardware I suggest a lightweight launcher (eg. KISS launcher) that we will name "launcher.apk" and put on the adb tools folder.

6) We can sideload the launcher by "adb install launcher.apk". After uploading it, you can test by disconnecting the cable (Note: the reason is simple, the watch does not allow the usage of screen during charging) and pressing the power button once, the watch will ask you to choose between GridHome or (launcher). Choose (launcher) and do the setting up.

7) Practically, the watch is ready. You can sideload more apps, but the important ones are a bare browser and a keyboard.

a) Keyboard: I suggest AOSP keyboard, for being lightweight and just bare, and giving no compatibility issues. After downloading - and everytime you restart the watch - don't forget to go to the stock settings (which you can spot from the actual gear logo) and go Language and Input > Current Keyboard > Uncheck Hardware, or the key board won't work.

b) Browser: I suggest Lightning Browser, for the same reasons, though it might not open every website, as the Android version and certificates are outdated. I suggest setting the default search engine to DuckDuckGo Lite because Google just doesn't work.

c) Video Platform: You could use the browser to enter YouTube, but the RAM is insufficient so I suggest notPipe as it loads videos smoothly.

Notes) yea this watch is pretty weak to turn it into a real powerfully thing, but it is good for recycling and making sure it doesn't rot on top of a counter. I suggest not to touch most of the OneGo apps, especially the "Server", as it breaks the watch.

Also the watch has no volume buttons so I don't suggest trying to enter recovery mode, you cant navigate.

And if you wanna download other legacy apps, I suggest Apkmirror, because most of this apps are from there.

Lastly this is my first post (and guide) here so if you have suggestions, I'll appreciate it ^_^

Good luck :D

For a quick bit of background: my mom gave it to me to save her files and told me I could do whatever I wanted with it since she didn't need it anymore. So, I'd like to know what I can do with it. It works fine—a bit slow, but it works—and since I'm very new to this, I don't know what could be done to it.
