It seems like the custom ROMs out right now are for the international version, right?
There should be ROMs coming for US-specific (IE, Vibrant), correct? I just don't want to get something I cannot customize. What scares me is that Samsung will update it to 2.2 and not release 3.0 later on?
Coming from the Touch Pro 2 scene where there are lots of variations as well, there should be roms that are compatible with multiple handsets and even some geared towards specific phones. Additional add-ons might be required for button layouts or something but I'm not sure how it works since I am speaking with experience only in the Windows Mobile area.
Regarding the update, it's really hard to tell since we don't even have the 2.2 update yet. But hopefully, they'll continue to support the Galaxy S as it's Samsung's direct iPhone competitor.
We should be able to flash any firmware for the galaxy s including the modaco rom. The real question is will we be able to get a hacked recovery to stick like amon_ra or cynogen ? Ps my phone comes this week im freaking excited!!

I'm excited to and I'm exited to be apart of building the vibrant section hopefully can atleast beat out the captivate and fascinate page
Thursday morning I'm waking up early and picking this baby up. I hope we can gain root the same way as the international version.

same going to be at the store 9 am to pick it up then head straight to xda for a root and a cfw that would be a dream
Hopefully the source code that was released by Samsung for the Galaxy S is the same for the Vibrant, which I see no reason why it would change but it is Samsung. If it is, I will help to port CM6 over to the Vibrant. The source code from Samsung that I downloaded yesterday has from what I could see with my quick glance over the drivers (baseband, sound, screen, etc) that would be needed to bake up a custom ROM.
That would be so awesome. I really don't care about samsung supporting this phone, as long as they let devs do their thing. Meaning not to lock up anything ala droid x

It doesn't matter if they don't officially update it to 3.0, when there is root, there is a way!

not nessecarily true lol, take a look at the Motorola Milestone for an example, they have had root for a long time now, but cant load a custom rom due to an encrypted bootloader.
That's why I'm saying that if samsung doesn't do it, let the community have what it needs to do it themselves, look at cyan. My g1 should've been obsolete a year ago, but on the contrary its as strong as it was when I first rooted it.

If the drivers are there, 90% of the work is done. We'll have the latest roms (barring some unlikely extreme performance requirements).

Haven't checked in a while but the Behold 2 was a pain in the ass to root. And Samsung said that they didn't want people hacking their phones. That was a few months ago, since I don't have the phone I haven't checked back. I'm getting this bad boy and hopefully there will be a lot of support for it.

Second that. Took me 1 minute. Maybe less, LOL. Running tests, everything seems to be working, SU permisions et al.
Not sure on boot, but it seems that Samsung didn't even try to make it hard.
I went back to winmo for a while, and while the HD2 community is great, have to say glad to be back on android.

The fact that modaco has a custom ROM out indicates that it's probably going to be fairly easy for us.
Just looking an international I9300 ROM development forum, and jealous :crying:, so many amazing custom ROMS like this , and this one, and here for my AT&T model is ...- 2 if you can even call it a "ROM's", -sad. I switched from international SII I9100 which had tons of custom ROMs to I747 for which a cant even download CallRec MOD.
LTE? - thanks, u can keep it! Anyone willing to trade international for I747 ?
The international has been out a bit longer. And you're always gonna see more dev work for an international phone. That's just the way it is. Be patient. It will come man.
Just wait a bit longer, theme section is making a lot progress on theme department, plus we got myn making rom for it too(Idk if you heard about his work but he has done some great things for evo) so is just matter of time, the phone been out for 2 weeks and I think it will be great device for routers and developers

I don't know how you expect there to be a bunch of roms out already. The phone was only available with a pre order, and was just released in stores today. Patience.

Hope you drop your phone. Way to put down the devs on the att side. Take it back to the store and go get the international one.
edit: if you can't return it then sell it.
So you give reasons y the international ver is better and you expect to get a trade for your "inferior" version
This is bad marketing
Besides there will be plenty of toms in no time
Also I personally kepp my phone on stock for at least 2 weeks after getting the phone
Mostly just to see what Sammy expects normal people to deal with
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Honestly the stock Rom is running so good i haven't thought of flashing one yet. Heck good battery life has made me even not to root and debloat yet. But anyway i will root soon just to install adblock and tools like TB. My point is that during initial days of my previous phone which is SG1 there were so many issues like lag, gps, rfs file system etc etc which made flashing roms inevitable. But so far i am really enjoying stock software.

Every time I see people complaining about custom ROMs for the S3 (or any other phone) I get miffed.
Stop *****ing about what other people do or don't do for you. If you want a custom ROM that meets your needs, build one yourself or pay someone to do it.
The people who create these ROMs do so because they love doing it, not because it's their job (Though people do donate to them, I am sure they do not get what creating ROMs like this is really worth).
I see you're on Telus, well the Telus phone only came out 10 days ago, I know because I got one on the first day. How long do you think it takes to make a custom Android ROM for a phone? I have no idea, but I am sure there are hundreds of hours spent on creating each and every one.
Besides, did you get the S3 because of the custom ROMs available for it or because it is the best phone out there right now? This little beast can do things no other phone can dream of and you ***** about custom ROMs.

Hi i have the galaxy s4 from verizon but it's actually on ebay trying to sell it because i bought the LG G2 and it's arriving today but i see that there is really only 1 decent ROM out which is CleanRom. I was wondering when CM and AOKP will be coming so i can customize my navigation buttons too and a whole bunch of other features. I havent followed up on the unlocking/rooting but when was root/recovery achieved for this device?

The bootloader hasn't been unlocked yet and I spoke with someone close to AOKP last week on Reddit and he said that none of the maintainers will be getting G2's but since the Nexus 5 will be built off of the G2, that there may be some compatibility. So it'll be a while. The N5 isn't even out yet.
We also don't have kernel source yet which makes any CM or AOKP base kinda hard to get running.
Development for anything non-nexus or locked bootloader is going be slow. This phone is brand new, however this is a concern coming from a Nexus with all the latest updates. I will be patient and happy for now, but the flasher in me and the ability to have full control over my own device is a little......sobering.

This phone has LOKI, which means business as usual for custom ROMs and kernels.
Locked bootloader means nothing at this point, except bragging rights for saying they got it unlocked (if they unlock it, which I think will happen someday, but make no mistake this is not stopping development)

Seems Sprint phones get a lot of dev support, maybe when it's released on Sprint it will pick up.
CM/AOSP bring up is already in progress. I don't foresee anything being particularly difficult to get a basic CM build up and going in pretty short order. I'll be getting the Verizon version later today but won't have time to really start helping until next week.

Hey! Nice to see you around! Reminds me, I really need to update my AC links.
I'm lucky being here in Chicago for Sprint, the G2 and Nexus 5 should be in prime shape to take advantage of Tri-band LTE. I'm not feeling the love from Samsung and I know I need the Nexus 5 for AOSP projects. Maybe I'll wait and see if someone sells a G2 over the holidays.

I thought that this video would give some hope to the AT&T N3 community. Looks like the Verizon N3 is going to get (or got) a program called Safestrap which is allowing them to install custom ROMs and other things on their version of the N3. This should be made applicable to the AT&T version soon. It may not be as flexible as a unlocked bootloader but does give some hope of being able to have the phone the way you like it.

Oh man let's hope for the best. This is all kind of new to me having these issues. Even my One X was a pain in the ass, but not THIS bad with unlocking.
Will safe strap include being able to flash a kernel? That's honestly the #1 reason for an unlocked bootloader for me. I love playing around with cpu and gpu parameters trying to achieve best battery to performance. Plus faux123 has his kernel and coming from it with a nexus 4 I wish I had it on this device.
Safe strap will not allow kernel flashing. Only ROMs. It high-jacks boot up and redirects the device to boot from a secondary partition you create on the internal memory. You will lose space on internal memory to use safestrap. Although the Verizon folks (me included) have been able to overwrite the factory partition to avoid space lose. If you want to flash kernels you need to drop the 700 dollars on development edition of the phone. I can't believe how dead the development thread is for this device I was just looking for some options for a friend of mine who just got his AT&T N3.
I got more jelly beans than jelly belly, on my S3, S4, and both my Notes
Guess I should have stuck with nexus. Oh well ill trade the ability to flash kernels and roms for a removable battery and an sd card and large screen.
I'm pretty sure the DEVS within these forums will eventually find a way to crack the system. It's just a matter of time and patience.

You should ask this to rom developer in the rom thread that you are running.
This is due to the fact that the custom OS, that you are running does get the latest Note 7 updates and the last one more or less cripples the device. Making it useless as a phone.

That's cause your on a note 7 port rom. And your device is being recognized as a note 7 because your build.prop is showing it as one.
I got that message to when i was testing nemesis n7 port, the other day. Plus it was being pushed from the Samsung+ app for me. Does your rom have that app installed?
The big question is, even though we have different hardware, if samsung can't decifer the difference and they try to push software to our device. Will it [email protected]*k up our device? Or will our different hardware provide a safegaurd against this?
I don't know their limitations for forcing software onto our device, since it's not really a N7. Maybe someone with some better knowledge or coding skills can chime in on this.
Hmm....on an interesting note. I received this message on my T-Mobile Note 4 while running LamlazyROM V5.0. I went ahead and flashed Norma v11 and Aurora 4.1 in order to replicate this particular message. To my surprise. None came up. Not even the Note 5/Note7 ROM Port showed this anomalous message. Now the billion dollar question is, just as another member commented, "Will this update brick my Note 4?" In all honesty, I've tried on several occasions to try to run the Software Update feature that's been baked into the ROM and with every attempt I would get a Forced Closed/App Crash notification window. So yeah maybe it is possible but unfortunately we'll have to wait and see what happens. Yay. I guess.

It certainly will. The note7 runs off completely different firmware which is included in the ota. Never update through ota on a ported rom.
