Sorry if this is completely irrelevant in every way shape and form, but I'm from a community of people who own Samsung Wave smart phones who would really like to own an Android port due to the horrendous support for Bada by Samsung and complete and total lack of applications.
We have a working Froyo 2.2 port on the device which many have copied to their phones with success. A few developers have worked on it, Olek_k from XDA was working on it, passed it over to Rebellos. However, we currently have no working modem, camera or battery sensor and they are having trouble with Kernel development. Rebellos says that he thinks he's collected enough info to write a modem driver, but he is having problems with the kernel and the project has stalled. We've seen the amazing progress that has been made with this project, being passed down from person to person and there is a huge community of people who would like to experience android on their Bada handsets. I am no developer myself and a lot of us aren't, but the project has stalled and it'd be a real shame for so much progress to be lost. Do you know of anyone or are you yourself a developer of HD2 Android? All of us at badaforums.net and those in the Bada section at XDA are eager to see progress on the project. We do have developers, but they need aid in an area that they do not know well.
Please don't take this as a demanding request, I'm simply asking if you know of anyone who could help compile an android kernel (I'm not sure of the detail you'd have to ask the developers themselves) with the help of the current devs. We'd be hugely greatful if you could co-operate and help us out, because I know many who would absolutely adore android on their crippled Wave smartphones.
I sent a message similar to this to the admin of the Android ROMs site (http://android.hd2roms.com/) to see if they had any ideas about someone who could help. If you didn't know already, the wave is only available outside of the US, I don't know if anyone in the US can help with the development without the phone, you'd have to ask Rebellos or one of the other devs from the topic.
Below are some links where the discussions are;

I am a noob at XDA and I haven't tried the port myself as of yet, but I love my Wave and no one has made the jump to reach to the awesome HD2 porting community yet, so I thought I'd try.
Please contact me in this topic, via PM, or contact Rebellos or any of the other developers in the topic if you, or someone you know can help out.
Thanks very much, again, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

+1 as a HD2 and Wave user. Help us please!
Damn, no one else has noticed the post :/
Oh well, I'll be patient and just hope that people aren't ignoring the post lol.
Pins, do you know of someone who was at the head of the project? I'm pretty clueless, I'll do some digging.
They will, just give them time.
You might want to consider getting the XDA admin's incharge of the news, to publish this, since this is really going to go un-noticed by the majority of developers. Some good might come out of it. All the best. I remembered waiting (and I am sure many other HD2 users too) for the Android port and then WP7 port for HD2... it seemed like a long wait, but eventually it is done

Yeah man, thanks. I was just being impatient. Really don't want to come off as an arsehole because a lot of people in the bada-android forum got pissed due to trolls, when there are, infact a lot of people who are nice and genuine who are eager to see the port.
And I will have a look to see if I can do that erlern, but do you think they will really listen to someone with like, under 10 posts? xD I mean, they might, but however funny that noob video was, they don't seem to be particularly keen on them. We'll see.
erlern is right maybe its better to write the admins at news
Hi rayze! Erlern is right come to think of it, the admins handling the news section can post about this on the front page.
Also on the title of the post amend it to this "Help needed to build drivers into kernel" then maybe the developers of this thread may pay more attention too.
Also post this on the android development thread of HD2 since this is the Q&A section which has more to do with everyday use of the hd2.

Well someone needed to try to get people's attention
No one else seemed to bother doing it, so I thought, why not. Don't think I've posted in HD2 main yet, but might have. Struggling to remember really.
Oh yeah, no I didn't because I need more posts xD I only have 7 lol.
Unfortunately us Wave modders are probably one of the smallest communities in this entire forum, we might get noticed, but it's getting people to help that will be the highest hurdle. It's a shame really, you'd expect many more people to buy this phone when you can pick it up now at cpw for £99.
I really respect how those developers devote so much time on making better software for our phones, and in most cases they just want a thank you at the end.
I am so happy to see this at the front page of XDA!

Thanks for telling me man!
Spreading the news at Badaforums!

Hello
I thought of creating thread because I didn't find any thread like this in this'd forum
And in my experience a lot of developers have left development or xda due to the misbehaving of one idiot
Recently. One of my favorite developers removed his work from XDA
1) consider this as a thank thread I know a lot of developers as well as xda members have helped you out do a million things on your handheld and have made your phone worthwhile
And I also know that there is the thank button for it in every forum
But sometimes thanks just isn't enough
Sometimes the feeling is like telling them
Man I love you I might mention you in my will
I would possibly marry you if you were of opposite sex
So this is your place to thank every single guy that helped you in this forum
Whether he helped you root the phone or he helped you unbrick it out he gave you a great Rom anything that you can think of
And anything that you wish to say to those developers out there this is your place
2) for developers
I really request you to test this thread regularly and from time to time so that you people know how thankful we are for the work you do
This community respects you your work your dedication and your friendly attitude
3)I know every developer out there has at one point of tine have had this instance when an idiot comes up and criticizes to the extreme point
And I also know quite a few developers have stopped their work because o those idiots so here is what we want to say tothose and all developers
Guys
In life when you start doing something and someone comes along and says what you are doing.is bull shot
There are many things and many people better than you and u r doing has already been done or that it is a waste of time blah blah
Would you stop doing that thing
No you wouldn't and you shouldn't
If one man had stopped because of these idiots then we wouldn't have had electricity in our houses no phones in our hands and no aeroplanes to fly
Every great thing that has happened had happened because people persisted they refused to believe what others said they believed in themselves
So if some idiot comes to us thread and tried to act like the know it all sick just tell him to get lost
Yes I mean it tell him to get lost
You shouldn't stop doing what u r good just because someone doesn't like it or has some happy go ****ty thing to say
In fact no-one should stop doing what one is good at because someone says something
SO PLEASE KNOW THAT WE AT XDA ARE THANKFUL TO YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DID FOR US AND PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US BECAUSE OF SOME FOOL
3) FOR IDIOTS
I WOULD REQUEST THE MODS TO TAKE MATTERS OF INSULT TO DEVELOPERS SERIOUSLY
I created this thread to let every idiot who thinks he can come here and disrespect our developers know that we TAKE IT ****TING SERIOUSLY
YOU HAVE A RIGHT EXPRESS YOUR OPINION BUT AS A PERSON YOU ARE ALSO OBLIGED TO SAY WITHIN YOUR LIMITS WITH ANYONE ON THE BOARD UNLESS AND UNTIL HE MISBEHAVES FIRST
AND KNOW THIS THE END OF EVERY DISCUSSION CAN BE THE TWO PEOPLE AGREEING TO DISAGREE
THAT'S IT NO MORE
PLEASE DON'T LOOSE YOUR MORAL GROUND WHILE DISCUSSING SOMETHING
AND IF U DECIDE TO DO IT KNOW THIS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO ANSWER YOU IN THE SAME LANGUAGE AS YOU ARE SPEAKING
THE DEVELOPERS AT XDA ARE DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING BECAUSE THEY LOVE IT
THEY ARE NOT BOUND TO HELP YOU
ARE NOT YOUR SLAVES
ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE DIES ON YOU OR YOUR MOTHER RUNS AWAY WITH YOUR NEIGHBOUR
EVERYTHING HERE IS FREE ADVICE TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
BUT DON'T BE AN ASS AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT IN A ****TING WAY
COS SOMEONE IS SPENDING A PART OF HIS LIFE IN DONATING TO THE COMMUNITY WHICH HE DOESN'T HAVE A NECESSITY TO DO
ALL OF YOU CAN'T PAY THEM FOR.THEIR TIME
AT LEAST SHOW THEM SOME RESPECT THAT'S IT
4)if you have any more suggestions regarding what this thread could be please pm me
If u think I am overreacting please keep it to yourself
If a duplicate thread exists please tell me
To mods if this thread it's against any regulations tell me I'll delete it asap
P.S. though I doubt thanking is against rules
NEVER INSULT A DEV PERIOD
NEVER
Just a note that XDA is not a public forum, and you most certainly are NOT free to express yourself however you want.
So here goes my gratitude
First if all I would like to thank yank for his awesome kernel
As a matter of fact I was going to throw my s3 due to multitasking issues but I. Somehow managed to convince myself to root and wait for sometime to see if I can find a way around multitasking
And I did in zram and swap which were both made available to me by.the most courteous man on XDA yank
So thank you yank for your awesome work
In my opinion he is the most helpful man on XDA who would answer every aspect of the question in utter detail and would always keep an open mind when discussing something and always assure you to use and find out what works for you and use it no matter what the theory says
Can't thank you enough man
Finally enjoying s3
Yanks kernel
Sotmax v13
Zram enabled
Swap enabled
Hey...totally agree...
Yank555 is a dev that we will all miss...most of his free time spent late at nite..many sleepness..on kernel development...
We cannot express our thanks enough for what he has delivered to us in making what i think the best kernel today...
Yank555...we respect
(Just thought i would comment before xda closes this thread)
Guys whats wrong with using the thanks button? That is one of the reasons why it was created afterall...
And about developers leaving XDA... we take this seriously as well but at the end of the day, its their choice, always remember that. As for the idiots... instead of ranting at them, why not just report them to us and let the XDA moderators and admins deal with them
Thread closed.
Hello Friends From XDA!
The Intension Of This Post,
is collecting signatures (or orders) to know how many users want to have a multiboot kernel (GB / ICS / JB)
as the current and (Turbo Kernel 3.1) but more stable and with better performance ..
Users who want to, and they would like a kernel so ..
please do so knowing in this post ..
if possible then we'll ask the developers,
to see if any are encouraged, or have time to continue with the development of (turbo kernel 3.1)
which still has some bugs and lacks optmizar a little more for performance ..
PS: I think we can have (GB / ICS / JB) installed simultaneously is one of the most brilliant things we've had for our device, not it???
Really, do you think that the multiboot thing that is not developed for months will be restarted only because you do a poll and ask to someone else to do the work?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
No one will do what you want, if you want to get this problems fixed, just learn C and kernel programming and do it for yourself, don't forget that people have a real life...
Wow this thread didnt go as the op intended lol but people need to be realistic. Im sure evryone would like to see a kernel like this. Anyways my play seems to have finally died (i think its the flex cable) so until im back in the usa i cant fix it and by then i might just not bother
@gangstermartorell & @[email protected] , I think you have no right to make that kind of comment, if someone does not like the idea, or do not sign the petition and ready .. the only ones who have the right to complain if the developers do not like the idea .. or sorry! you are developers?? no ... lol.
ah! and @ abdel12345, thanks for your comment. and sorry about your Xplay .. : (.. I just came a few days you thinking of buying a flex, to have spare just in case, and now with this that happened to you .. and I am convinced ..
I keep my Xplay much longer .. and now I see PPSSPP progress, and future NDS emulator (DRASTIC) even better ..
And do you have any right to demanding such thing to people? I think that these threads have to be deleted because are extremely contained with SPAM.

I think you did not understand the intention of the post .. the intention of the post.'s collecting signatures to see if people would like a kernel multiboot .. and then if people support the idea.
Please ask the developers .. and if you do not want any problems .. no .. this all more than good. no intension to demand anything from anyone .. is more, the developer (DiKeJ) .. very kindly said he'd be happy, (when I have free time) to support this idea .. and what's more, they also help to several developers would ask as (extremetempz & Wegdess)
Wedgess already said that he will not work to the multiboot things months ago cause this is the work of cosmicDan, so it is also a form of respect for him.
Extremetempz, really I will not start any flame, but looking his thread (not haved time to look his github, maybe I am wrong) seems to me more a user that recompile sources and add some overclock than a kernel developer, so I don't think that he can/will pick up this work.
Sorry if I say something that you don't like, but what we are saying sadly is the reality, our board haven't a lot of skilled developers, we have only some ports from the mogami board, so don't expect so much

We don't need a multiboot kernel, we just need a 3.x.x kernel, which would allow us to have a working and smooth android 4.3 on our xperia plays
Hello world, full of Developers!
I'm a student and I use Grand2 & OnePlus2 phones.
I have very deep interest mobile phones/computers but I never get a chance to learn things about it.
I love tweaking/customizing phone/pc. But i never understands how it works inside.
I have very deep interest of learning these things. I am not interested in making because I want it so that I can help other people/friends and many developers who put their efforts hard and rock to give us best features.
I tried everywhere but found no help except like go read this/that etc etc.
All the time people just reacted "visit this, read this, watch this", but nobody supports me in full.
See, reading a book about it or watching a video won't help to learn the core things. It is necessary to read but practical knowledge/assistant is way more important, otherwise we don't have to go to sit in class and listen to lectures.
I watched/read many tutorial but I have now more confusions/questions than the answer itself, like 1000000:1 in ratio.
I know its hard to help the kind of help I am asking today. But helping someone is not that hard if you 'will' is very hard, because I have also helped unknown people with my full potential being knowing that it will take a lot and strong effort out of me. But I helped. and I believe people also help.
So, I am writing these stuffs here because I need a Friend, a teacher, a helper, a guide, someone who can help me understand these things so that I can one day give a strong/big feedback to my fellow friends/users/members/people around me.
I am Just a student. I don't wanna make money out of it, because its my passion, not my livelihood.
Because I wanna help people who love techs. I wanna be someone who can fulfills other members needs.
I just wanna help, but before that I NEED HELP.
I know this also that after writing this long, I may not find a single help, but nothing can stop me by doing this because what I see is a light of hope in darkness. So, I am on my way.
I am hereby, requesting out of curiosity and courtesy to help me by every means to learn these things.
Some friends may make a fun of me by reading this long shot but I feel sorry for them and really I am in desperate need.
So, If anyone is interested in supporting me happily, please let me know.
I use TELEGRAM app for quick-chat. So we can talk there.
Help me friends and let me help back!
Thanks.

Oh i see. We are kinda on the same page. I have a Grand 2 too and i am also slowly learning about rom developement.
Okay so i'll tell you basic thing about roms first. There are 2 ways to have a custom rom for your device. Source building and porting.
Source building is as the title says making a rom from source.
And port is like using the rom made for a similar cpu family device and editing it to run on yours.
Now both of them go a long way to learn. I can understand your situation as i am in the same myself. Just PM me i'll tell you everything in detail

There r tutorials in xda... u can read it and post ur queries.. u will get answered bro
Many people are looking for a smartphone with a great cost-benefit and able to meet all our needs. Sincerely? The answer for many would be the Mido. But there are a lot of people who need a more portable smartphone, which can be handled with just one hand without problems. These people decided to bet on the Redmi 4 Prime, which has practically the same characteristics and very similar parts. However, its development was not as great as its bigger brother, and recently one of the top developers abandoned the device, leaving a lack of content. So, I come to you, to that you kindly port some ROMs from the very similar brother to our smartphone. I think we will give you all the attention you deserve, because only those who do not have something know the true importance of things.
+1
+1 , would love to see some of the greatest developers on Mido working on the Redmi 4 Prime !
+1
That would be a relief for thousands of Redmi4 Primes and their owners!!
Really?u came here to request redmi note 4 developers to port rom for redmi 4 prime,with ur funny reason of one hand usability.Sry but developers of redmi note 4 not only work for its roms but also updating it frequently and now with android o's arrival do u really expect anyone to help u out?.The only people who can help you all are redmi 4 prime user themselves
You should be able to easily port Mido ROM's as it's same SoC, weird that nobody has tried it.
+1.
How many threads like this we will see in Redmi Note 4 section?
I can understand ask for help to fix some bug but not request to port whole rom to different device. If you think that is easy because they are "similar", then port by your own rom from Mido to your device.
I think it's not a real request that just somebody build roms for the RM4P.
Problem is that the RM4P wont be supported very good in future because xiaomi just pulled it from the market (nougat update is not shure)
I think it would be very very useful to get a clear view on which source parts can be used for both smartphones.
Could result in some very nice sinergy effects. TBH RM4P would gain a lot more out of it... but who knows
I think there is no reason to keep device development separted when the devices are so similar
And TBH #2: I can clearly see where your restrains come from. A lot of xiaomi users are just whining all the time. Its like a bunch of kids (anybody who knows the miui.com forum might know what Im talking about)
But it would be really sad if we would miss the opportunity for sharing/caring for our two devices because of that

Well, we need to have at least a kernel to make a good kernel for use so dev can make at least one rom possible if possible, I know it's difficult to carry a ROM for a smartphone that you do not have, imagine making a ROM without knowing it , I would do it if I had conditions and knowledge about but I do not have, so we are asking for help we want at least an official 100% functional ROM
c'mon dude... what's wrong with those r4p guys that jusk ask for help...
if you can't help them better to be quiet instead of insulting them or asking them to go away...
btw for r4p guys:
I think it will be very hard dude... yes, our device share same SoC (Snapdragon 625)
but I've look into it, we have different display, touch module, camera...
there is other components too like fingerprint, modem, wifi, bluetooth, battery, etc... I'm not sure it's same between r4p and rn4.
You could try to flash one of the kernel or even rom here, but it's very dangerous and I think no one want to take the risk
It'd be great help if any developer can build a stable kernel for markw out of mido. R4p's own kernel source can help with that.
I am also a redmi 4 prime user and would love if there is something that could be done.

we ask for your help since you're a bigger community. and you have like 5 official ROM's, and we have none. if you don't know, our dev @Razziell quit because he hadn't enough money to continue. his sources are good, so if you want to help its not from scratch - we have his sources.
unfortunately r4p community doesn't have many devs(if at all) to do this job.
maybe if one dev from here talk with Razziell or help him , he might convince him to stay.
we really sorry to bother you guys with those threads, but understand our situation

You do not need to talk about things you do not know. I had problems with the hard drive and only some people from the Russian community helped them to solve. For them, I continue to work. The rest can freely use my source, they are completely working.

You have problem with HD? Why didn't say that in R4P forums, you just say that you want to stop developing because you don't have time to do it. Is that whole reson to stop sharing with R4P community ?
C'mon guys!!!
Any good dev out here?? We have a good kernel.
Not fair that Note 4x as more roms and his little brother don't!! <3

Why not fair? Unfair is your stipulation and pretensions. Its simple: more popular device = more devs = more custom roms.
This thread should be closed because if devs will want to help - they will and pretensions like above will not change anything.
I recommend you guys start taking the initiative and learn to build the kernel yourselves.
