Dear Developers,
I saw a few days ago that the Nexus 5 got a Developer Preview of Android L.
I wonder if it's possible to port the Nexus 5 rom to the Galaxy Note 3. Since the phones are very simular in specs.
The Developer img can be find here: http://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html
If this would be possible, i would thank the dev a 1000 times.
Greetings, Paul
From what I understand is that Android L is still under heavy developing, I don't think we'll see a ROM for Android L in a couple of months. Besides, even if we would, it would be buggy as hell I believe.
That is more of an alpha build and it's mostly for developers to give them an early idea how the os runs, so they can port apps before the official release is out.
The final version will most likely be out with the nexus 6.

Hi Guys,
As the topic says really. Are we blessed with a Nexus One port of Gingerbread yet or are we still having SDK cooked ROMs and ripped roms from Nexus S?
A port is a cooked ripped rom. No, afaik no one has gotten the official ota yet. That being said there are many fine ports from which to choose in the dev section.
Several, check the dev section. There was one SDK ripped rom for a few days before the AOSP drop, but everything there is all AOSP based now. There are even two very early builds of CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread) to try out.
Does AOSP = OTA (Official) ? i'm guessing not
The SDK is not something that is taken from the Nexus S its straight up pure Android OS untouched ready to be touched by devs like the ones here and also by Hardware manufactures like HTC, Moto, Samsung etc. ready to be slapped with sense ui and other ugly skins
You mean AOSP, not SDK

Correction, where he says SDK, he means AOSP. AOSP is the Android Open Source Project. It is what all builds of Android for any phone is made from, even the upcoming Nexus OTA is built from it.
But more specifically, the Nexus OTA will include some closed source drivers that will help with some issue AOSP has. But right now you can install an AOSP build and have Gingerbread the way it is supposed to be. Just with possibly some issues, but the sounds of it most of it works great.
When the OTA arrives, developers will pull the closed source drivers from it and can then use them in their own AOSP builds and then you can consider them complete.
Understood....so for the full effect with no issues (or as Google intended for Nexus ) then OTA is needed for Chefs to start cooking properly. Cheers guys
Any chance of a port from Open webOS 1.0 for Defy/+?
Thanks for your help
I think this is not for today, in 4 or 6 months maybe but Android is very complete so I don't see the advantage to do a portage.
Would it be possible, in this stage, to build from Galaxy Nexus sources ? http://webos-ports.org/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus_Build_Setup
Hi,
What is the likeliness of the Note 4 having someone produce a CM / ASOP ROM for this device?
This isn't a request, but rather a question. Has any developer put their hand up for this yet?
Just trying to catch up on any CM / ASOP Note 4 related news i may have missed. I have done a search, but nothing of great value arises, and i am sure i am not the only one who is keen to find out....
Cheers
I haven't seen any progress on it yet. Firstly a CM developer would need to get their hands on a Note 4.
I'm hanging out for Cm12 on the Note 4, so hopefully within the next month or 2 development starts.

Me too - with the release of Android 5.0 - comes the quickened release of CM12 - if the Note 4 wants to see Android 5.0 before June next year, its only chance is through CM or some alternate ASOP variant !!!
Samsung are VERY slow at releasing updated Variants for the android OS for their phones... but luckily not the slowest...
I'll keep this post here, so that we at least have some kind of discussion growing with respects to the Note 4, and hopefully someone might pick it up. I would love to do it myself, but i have very limited knowledge of android coding if i knew how i would totally do it...
Guys, good news! It looks like Dmitry Grinberg is working on a Marshmallow port for the Nexus One! If you don't know who Dmitry Grinberg is, he is the hacker who works at Google and he ported Marshmallow to the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 2012. Other than these two ancient devices, he was also able to make Android M run on the Nexus S.
From his posting on his website, he is now focusing on the Nexus One!
http://dmitry.gr/index.php?r=06. Thoughts&proj=05. Android M on Nexus S
dookie23, I get the excitement over porting Android 6.0 to those "ancient devices," but that accomplishment pales in comparison to the Nexus One - the latter represents the original "smart" that was added to Android phones at the Dawn of Mankind ... (Jan 2010). Cue Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss). . .
I have found some M and L ports for our Nexus One on google but did not have the time to try.
Has anyone tried any, if so which one?
Cheers..
Could you please share those roms, I googled and couldn't find any Marshmallow rom.
If he wants to do it he will do it , i know its possible even the htc HD2 got M working and nexus 1 and HTC HD2 have mostly the same hardware.
I OWN BOTH OF THEM
Holy wow! I came here per chance after being out of touch with android developments for so long. I cherished some hope when 4.0 came out and it was being ported. But builds were wonky and incomplete (as I remember at that time) and my hope of a stable daily driver quickly faded.
This was the last thing I expected to see here. Super exciting!
In order to be able to use these the font package and keyboard need to be updated to recognize the emoji otherwise you get a symbol in its place because it's seeing code it can't translate and you wouldn't be able to select the new emoji without the keyboard being Speed Test updated to show them as well.
Android 7.0 source code released. Much quicker than I thought.

According to android police the final build of Nougat is based off the Marshmallow dev preview 2. So maybe this will help in bringing it to our devices faster

Unless I'm misunderstanding, I'm pretty sure you mean the final Nougat build is based on Android N dev preview 2? Wasn't named Nougat back then (April 2016, when N preview was released), and Marshmallow dev preview 2 would have been a year ago (2015).
By the way, do you have a link to that story, because it sounds strange even that it's based on N preview 2, with 5 previews released. I'm pretty sure they did NOT revert any improvements. Preview 2 had the greatest speed improvements but the others after that had other areas of improvement, like stability.
Dev Preview 5 features include system images for preview devices, an emulator for app testing, final level 24 Nougat APIs (also available in Preview 4), plus bug fixes and optimizations

Seems more likely it was based on the final preview, Nougat Preview 5? Here's an article detailing all the preview builds and improvements...
Android 7.0 Nougat: release date, news and features
UPDATE: Nougat released for Nexus devices

Its based on M preview 2. The full article can be seen here

It really makes a lot of sense. Its a major release of android, however the changes made are improved upon marshmallow source code, and even lollipop. N development started over a year ago, and even today there are devices running test builds of 7.1 and even "O" at google
