[DISCUSSION] Android 4.0.3 AOSP ICS (ALPHA)Discussion Thread

Hey guys any questions and discussions you want to have keep them here.
Any questions you need to ask or any conversations that you want to have between each other leave it here and let Airbus360 do his work on his thread.
If mods feel this is a pointless thread by all means then go ahead and close it but rather than having hundred of posts and loads of pages of the same thing being asked over and over again in the Development section might as well keep it here where it is a General discussion thread and forum.
If anyone feels that there should be more info on this post feel free to let me know.
Thanks

The number of "I'll clean the forums by creating a grouping-thread and be a hero" is pretty high nowadays. I wonder what kind of threads should I start grouping .
"If you have problems with your telephone, post here!"
Don't mind me, just carry on!

Don't be silly, it's a nice thread, really! I'm just lost a bit with all these discussions threads about ICS releases and updates and leaks and development threads, don't know which one is which.

Well all honesty i am kinda lost as well. Hence why i thought i make this one and try and keep up to date with everything that is going on..
What really surprises me is that people forget that all builds that are out are alpha builds and not stable...i am still on my Gingerbread rom and still loving it as it is solid and stable....Why people get so excited about an alpha is beyond me...
The real buzz will be when devs will have actual sources to be able to upgrade their roms to ICS level..That is when all the fun really should be starting not now

Hate
I wouldn't release anything if I was Airbus. After all the mud thrown on the other thread, sadly by other more "experienced" devs I wouldn't be surprised if he just cancelled the thread n disappeared.
I would.
To me it screams of jealousy on what Airbus has achieved the fact that people like Codeworkx and Paradoxxx are slamming him and all of a sudden made a complete u-turn on their earlier statement that they would release nothing until they had a stable build of CM9.
Airbus is trying to make a rom from scratch with inadequate tools, and he's not experienced. I think he's doing the best he can with the tools at his disposal.

I don't understand why so many people have their "panties in a wad" over Ice Cream Sandwich... I have been patiently trolling these forums and anxiously awaiting the day that a stable release is made. ANYthing made by a developer (that isn't garbage) I am thankful for, after all developers could say **** it and not give us anything. This rom was only released to help subdue those who are flaming over the release of CM9 anyhow...

good valid point...i am waiting for a stable version as well..and all honesty i might just wait for the stable official release itself from Samsung..As long as my phone works great as it is at the moment i am happy with that. If a stable leak comes first though and developers like Pulser, Checkrom team and Hyperdroid can get their hands on it then certainly that would be worth the jump. But at this moment of time when people are having a moan on someone who is trying to tweak a build that is already out and modify it to the way he wants that is disrespectful to him as he is not holding a gun to anyones head really and asking neither for help or money...
and last point people really need to chill out...more important stuff in life than a rom

I don't think that's a nice idea to put another thread on ICS.
Dev become more and more arrogant, people more and more stupid.
So why do you open this one? We already now the situation.
Forget about ICS, wait for a new firmware annoucement and then see if the new one is stable enought. If not, then forget again and repeat.

That thread is full of lulz, the dev should stop baiting users the way he's doing now.

{KERNEL - DEV} (Open Source Kernel) XpLoDWilD's PopAds Kernel- NOTE IS BACK!(30.4.12)

XpLoDWilD's PopAds Kernel for Galaxy Note
Updated 30.4.12
Dev XplodWild got his note back just a few minutes back, expect CM9 experimental builds soon ..
also, awesome custom open source kernel for note goodness !!!
xplodwild twitter update: https://twitter.com/#!/xplodwild
Updated 25.4.12
Xplodwild is receiving his galaxy note this weekend, and will resume dev for the kernel and CM9 soon!
Updated 22.4.12
Team Hacksung Progress : Xplodwild & Entropy
As per Entropy:
Video hwaccel - working
GPS - Working, although GLONASS is either not being used or just reporting as not locked even though it is. Samsung's sat status interface in ICS is mangled, I need to bring gpswrapper over to this device to see what the deal is.
Stylus - Working with apps like Quill that support the standard Android 4.0 stylus API. (Haven't really tested anything else, but I know S-Pen API apps will not work and it's going to stay that way.)
Camera - untested, probably not working, I tried to implement Torch and it did not play well
Updated 21.4.12
stage 1 complete.
stage 2 complete - device ordered. project is ON!!
stage 3 complete - device has arrived already! Dev XplodWild is beginning with his kernel project on the device.
*** News - As xplodwild is waiting for his device to come back after repair... the amazing entropy is progressing with the kernel project based on xplodwilds work ... please read the last few pages of the thread for detailed updates !
Dear Friends,
I was in touch with my dear friend developer @xplodwild who is an integral dev member at TeamHacksung who are developing CM9 for the Galaxy series.
Xplodwild has been developing an open source kernel for the galaxy s2, and he would like to develop an open source kernel for the Galaxy Note as well now. Since the hardware is pretty similar except for certain changes, this can be achieveable quite fast.
So, what are the benefits of an open source kernel for the Galaxy Note?

Click to collapse
- Up-to-date forever kernel : Up-to-date forever kernel : The Kernel shall remain up to date forever, even after samsung or google come out with android 5.0+, and even when kernel will reach version 3.4.0
There is no need to wait for wait or beg samsung to release their sources. After all android and our community is all about sharing and developing with each other.
- Community supported : The project will be open source and community supported, so we can take this is another level really.
- The advantage of having "Updated drivers" - Once we have open source updated kernels and drivers, the developers can continuously work on new roms, ports and developments. and Don't have to wait for ics or other leaks from the company itself. Usually the ports don't have something or the other working (like camera, usb etc.) because the kernel sources or drivers are not available. Once we have this project running soon, we will never see an issue with future android builds or ports etc.
- Ability to do Mods
- Maybe samsung will never release sources or will release very late for each release. We don't need to be dependent on them
How to make this project Happen? Its pretty simple, we all are making it happen

I would like to Thank "PopAds" and the community for supporting and making this happen. We have in a record time (less than 24 hours) collected enough to buy a note for the development, and now we head towards the 2nd stage.
Thank you!!
How much time this will take to develop?

Since, SGS2 and Note are similar so it should take some days to have it running, then it'll follow the same progress as GS2.
Check out xplodwild's sgs2 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23462307 , you can see how he is making significant progress everyday and its coming to stable use very soon!
The open source kernels can be used on AOSP / Samsung Roms (with slight mods) / and CM9 based roms, for Android 4.0 +
Lets create our own community based, community driven samsung open source development program.

Cheers mate! Absolutely. I think if we all contribute, we can pave a fantastic way ahead for our phones and make development even more amazing.
Just because sammy never releases its sources so fast, or we have to be dependent on leaks all the time, which always leads to this or that not working...
we can now create ways to make the development for our phones instant and bring in so many possibilities

Great bro, will paypal your money to xplodwild , along with my contribution. thank you so much!

Assuming you got the money today for the kernel how many time?
I think samsung realease one earlier than you.
I think is more beautiful first you realease kernel and after ask for money.
Naturaly this is a personal position.
Good work

when we have a kernel drop from samsung for the 3.1 kernel there will be a lot of effort put into the kernel..
buying someone a note isn't the way to go about it..
I see no evidence that there's any 3.1 kernel source working properly for the sgs2, I understand they are waiting for a source drop the same as us, so why do you think this guy will get a kernel running for us, when he hasn't for them?
I was going to start working on a 3.1 kernel some time ago, but its going to be quicker to wait for the source, as porting kernels up major revisions can take quite a while.

Same as I replied there:
I can tell you myself that I got my 3.0.12 kernel running on my Galaxy S2. So far it boots, touchscreen and charger works (knowing I've been only working a week on it). I even got a 3.3 branch where I got screen working, but MALI drivers are fuct in the RC hence I couldn't get it to boot yet. But it's possible somewhat in the near future.
Knowing that, having a working opensource kernel that people understand will help having up-to-date kernel for the future. Galaxy S II users are more than happy to get it, and they're more than happy to know that they'll be able to get BLN, Voodoo sound and many other stuff and tweaks available largely before Samsung will drop the sources.
ICS leaks being delayed more and more every day, you can't be sure when they will drop the sources.
All in all, all I have to say is that it's booting. Here's an old video where screen works, but no touchscreen yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_hhM411lHc&list=UUBMGKNICl0MqId2JPEPsTug&index=1&feature=plcp
Since, as I said, I got a couple things more. Check that on my github: http://github.com/xplodwild/android_device_samsung_galaxys2

I'm not here for the money. If I could do it without, I'd do, but I don't have a Galaxy Note hence I can't test yet.

@XpLoDWilD
I have elsewhere given my opinion to your path.
Maybe I can help you.
Pls try to contact winbug.
Lately, he has given some developers a note for free.
I cant write for him. Pls contact him.

Agree 100%
You are willing to put the effort into this. It may be good, it may not. I am willing to see it through. No software development project I have ever done has been certain. I have spent many hundreds of hours, and sometimes thousands of dollars employing others, on projects that may or may not work. Some paid off, and I keep going on the strength of that.
This is not even a commercial venture! I would not expect someone to buy a Note on the off-chance that the project will gain enough support to get that cash back. If you want a commercial product you pay on results. For an open source 'gift' to the community, I am more than willing to support an valiant effort to give us a kernel we can all benefit from. The Samsung one is just pants.
Just discussing with may very good friend (and son) here, and this type of community-funded effort just was not possible twenty years ago. I love the fact that it is now, and am more than willing to take a small chance on it!
Sorry, rambling a bit, but the bottle of wine is getting low.....

so true my friend. but this will work! 100% xplodwild has within a week made insane progress with the sgs2 kernel and for the note he will do it as well, this will make the future for our phones which we pay for so expensive really good for future updates and releases. even make it easier and better for development. thank you for your help and support my friend!

AWESOME... this is what we were waiting since long time.. i appreciate developer and the one who created this thread. nice work androidindian. as of now am struggling to make Paypal payment coz my card is not accepted. anyway ll try in other way to donate.

the thing is if this works out, im pretty much guessing that our notes and SGS2s will be the next HD2s and has all the rights to be. These exynos powered devices are definitely strong enough to be future proof with them kernels.

[DISCUSSION] Let's try to Make TOGETHER Android 5.0 For Galaxy S2!

First of all, i have to say that CyanogenMod Team, OmniRom team or other team don't want to build a distribution of Android L for Samsung Galaxy S2 because it's too older and came with Android 2.3.6 (All those Teams said that don't want to port Android L to devices which came with Android Gindgerbread or lower).
OmniRom on twitters said:
yousif monther ‏on 8 nov
at omni_rom will you support the s2 i9100 ?
OmniROM ‏on 8 nov
at yousif monther Most likely not - see the XDA post. We badly need more device maintainers and developers. i9100 will need loads of work!
Source: OmniRom on Twitter: Whee! First OmniROM 5.0 build just booted on the flo (N7 2013). Developers, get involved!
I also read that there is a Build of AOSP 5.0 made by NovaFusion team for Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini ... but we can't use this Rom as a point of reference because of his different processor... Samsung Galaxy S2 has Exynos 4210.
Older device wich has get Android L:
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini: [ROM][5.0.0]Android Open Source Project 5.0 20141106
Samsung Galaxy S3 (Not too old, but it's old ): [WIP] Android 5.0 Lollipop for Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300)
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989 (skyrocket): [ROM][5.0.0] AOSP Lollipop Early Preview [November 7, 2014]
But all these distributions can't help us!
So, What we can do is to wait for stable source codes of:
OmniRom
CyanogenMod
ParanoidAndroid
or other major custom distribution
Let's try together or just Discuss It!
Sorry for my bad English!

Rofl....chill bro, 5.0 just came out... have some patience. When some similar devices have a good build ( stable ) , then we can start to port/compile it from sources...till then, have patience.

Yah, i know. I wanna help devs on this build , so i'm trying to figure out how can i port a kernel for our device!

A Word To The Inexperienced Users (I am primarily included)
Buddy, what part of "error 404: I9100 developers not found" part don't you get? I too eagerly want to get that Android Lollipop sensation on my old i9100 (two and a half years old now), but I have no knowledge in the real development, yes you read write, R E A L. You think building ROMs is development? Want me to teach you how to set up Ubuntu, download sources, and build ROMs? But does it make any of us "developers"?
Back to the real talk. So you want Android Lollipop 5.0, hell, we all want it. Seeing all those "Android 5.0 ported to blah blah" made you drool all over the screen, and gave you some hope, no? Buddy, what you are seeing are AOSP ports, that's Android Open Source Project, you read that? O P E N S O U R C E... But wait a minute, Exynos is a closed-source bastard, so why shake a leg if it ain't going to be stable, or even "bootable"? Do you think it's that easy? Just create a thread on the legendary i9100 forums and boom, hook up the devs like fish. No... And even if a developer seen your thread, they probably no longer own the device, or remembered the pain and agony of maintaining for the i9100. Do you think CyanogenMod developers ported KitKat to our device? We go ahead and talk all proud claiming "the developers" are supporting our device. HELL NO, it's amazing people who don't belong to anyone that get encouraged to do the work, people that break the limits ridiculous OEMs put to kill a device. Wanna know how KitKat and CyanogenMod 11 came to our device? You guessed it, "the developers" didn't do hell. CyanogenMod did it? They're busy cleaning their crap now that they've gone corporate, they are useless if it weren't for the maintainers of devices, people that break the locks and rule their phones, CyanogenMod just claims they're "the developers" but they can kiss my ass. @Wayland_ACE, if you are reading this, sir, I thank you for your amazing contribution, the days and hours you've put into bringing Android 4.4 to our device, the amazing builds of the first and early KitKat builds, builds that I still keep to this day. @milaq, when CyanogenMod's Jenkins eats the dirt, you were there providing us with nightlies that proved to be stable, preparing that device tree, and bringing CyanogenMod 11 to what it is today. Thank these two for KitKat, because THEY started the real work, and others came along. But you know what? The real credit for custom ROM goes to @codeworkx, Mr. Daniel Hillenbrand, you are the bestest of the best, the elite developer, with TeamHackSung, you guys were invincible, gods amidst the battle Samsung started, you, sir, deserve all the "thank you"s and glory, you and Mr. Andrew Dodd @Entropy512, and Mr. Guillaume Lesniak @XpLoDWilD, and all the other real developers that were barely involved with CyanogenMod. The spotlight was taken away from you, and all the noobs chanted "Thank you CyanogenMod" and forgot the real cheese, making you look like underdogs, but you guys were the The Powers That Be, TPTB from day zero. Mr. Andrew, I've read your posts (still am reading, uni = so little time) on Google Plus, and I enjoyed seeing real developers again. Although I had that pale face every time I read, I enjoyed every second of it, seeing people like you wiping Samsung's butts, cleaning and fixing their mistakes on their products, and now that you guys dropped Exynos support in general, Samsung walks in triumph, lingering around with a big grin, the walk of pride, no one to shed the light on their manufacturer errors, their own mess. Thank you, sir, and all those I mentioned, if you read this, I, on behalf the i9100 users enjoying the never-meant-to-run-on-i9100 KitKat that you developers opened path for since 2011. Thank you, for all your work, and our words will never repay you the effort put into reviving a dead device, a device that Samsung killed with its own "official" firmwares.. what a joke...
Back to you again my friend, take no offense towards you, as my words are words of a suffering i9100 user who keeps track of real development, something we haven't seen for a long time. Today's new upcoming developers have the balls to call themselves developers? In what right? Those people I mentioned up there, they hacked the crap out of Exynos, they don't have closed-source in their dictionary, and still, they kept on going, even when Mr. Guillaume bricked his Note back then, that's the ultimate sacrifice they did, not just damaging their devices, devices they bought with their hard-earned money, but also the time they put, and My Oh' My is time money... Today's development is all about Qualcomm, HA! With the right guides and tools, I can make you @CoolJoseph96 a developer, and we'll all do the Yippee ki-yay!!
Porting Android 5.0 from AOSP isn't a walk-in-the-park. You need the right drivers to be merged and stuff, drivers for the camera, for GPU, RIL related things, touchscreen and CPU code (stuff I have no experience of), AOSP comes with nothing, so you (not you personally) need to put in to get to call your device "a phone", because no one is willing to use Android Lollipop that barely has the 5.0 in About Phone. The device is dead, my friend, doing such threads is nice, motivational, you can probably do a "fight cancer" campaign that I'd guarantee it'll work, but a developer thread to bring developers to do something that reminds them of taking a poop (same as developing for Exynos), I don't think it'll help much. But here's a little bit of light at the end of tunnel for you, when CyanogenMod released CM 12 sources, or Omni or any other team releases their own source code, our chances will definitely increase, as porting AOSP like that to Exynos 4210 is like asking Apple for iOS sources, wait.. never mind (let's hope they don't take me to court...).
I apologize for bashing the thread like that my friend, I mean no harm or anything bad towards you, but this isn't as easy as we users think it is, Mr. Daniel used to spend days to get a new Android version booting on our device, and double the days to getting the device tree up and fixing bugs... etc. Patience is the key in such a situation, who knows, but take this for granted, all the ROMs starting from Android 5.0 and above are getting UNOFFICIAL tags, yup, no official maintainers, no official releases, and please don't tell me you believe CyanogenMod 11 Snapshots are made for stability on our device, because if anyone does, I sure got one hell of a laugh to enjoy.

God bless you all.
Android 5.0 on i9100? In order to beat the beast, you have to be a beast, so roll up your sleeves and make a difference, because these people I quoted up there, the big hearts and spirit they got, we must be motivated by them, enough hiding behind our fingers and waiting for everything to come to us, let's give them a big thank you by warming up a little and do the work for once ourselves. Have a nice day/night buddy, peace out

Thanks for the long and true post.
I've seen many mentions of my nickname all over XDA for i9100, mixed replies, etc. So yes, I will try to port Omni 5.0 to the i9100 when the code base is stable, however while I can do the base bringup, I won't be able to maintain it long-term. So while I will attempt to port it and make most of it work, I might not can/want to make it 100% bug-free.

Buddy, what part of "error 404: I9100 developers not found" part don't you get? I too eagerly want to get that Android Lollipop sensation on my old i9100 (two and a half years old now), but I have no knowledge in the real development, yes you read write, R E A L. You think building ROMs is development? Want me to teach you how to set up Ubuntu, download sources, and build ROMs? But does it make any of us "developers"?
Back to the real talk. So you want Android Lollipop 5.0, hell, we all want it. Seeing all those "Android 5.0 ported to blah blah" made you drool all over the screen, and gave you some hope, no? Buddy, what you are seeing are AOSP ports, that's Android Open Source Project, you read that? O P E N S O U R C E... But wait a minute, Exynos is a closed-source bastard, so why shake a leg if it ain't going to be stable, or even "bootable"? Do you think it's that easy? Just create a thread on the legendary i9100 forums and boom, hook up the devs like fish. No... And even if a developer seen your thread, they probably no longer own the device, or remembered the pain and agony of maintaining for the i9100. Do you think CyanogenMod developers ported KitKat to our device? We go ahead and talk all proud claiming "the developers" are supporting our device. HELL NO, it's amazing people who don't belong to anyone that get encouraged to do the work, people that break the limits ridiculous OEMs put to kill a device. Wanna know how KitKat and CyanogenMod 11 came to our device? You guessed it, "the developers" didn't do hell. CyanogenMod did it? They're busy cleaning their crap now that they've gone corporate, they are useless if it weren't for the maintainers of devices, people that break the locks and rule their phones, CyanogenMod just claims they're "the developers" but they can kiss my ass. @Wayland_ACE, if you are reading this, sir, I thank you for your amazing contribution, the days and hours you've put into bringing Android 4.4 to our device, the amazing builds of the first and early KitKat builds, builds that I still keep to this day. @milaq, when CyanogenMod's Jenkins eats the dirt, you were there providing us with nightlies that proved to be stable, preparing that device tree, and bringing CyanogenMod 11 to what it is today. Thank these two for KitKat, because THEY started the real work, and others came along. But you know what? The real credit for custom ROM goes to @codeworkx, Mr. Daniel Hillenbrand, you are the bestest of the best, the elite developer, with TeamHackSung, you guys were invincible, gods amidst the battle Samsung started, you, sir, deserve all the "thank you"s and glory, you and Mr. Andrew Dodd @Entropy512, and Mr. Guillaume Lesniak @XpLoDWilD, and all the other real developers that were barely involved with CyanogenMod. The spotlight was taken away from you, and all the noobs chanted "Thank you CyanogenMod" and forgot the real cheese, making you look like underdogs, but you guys were the The Powers That Be, TPTB from day zero. Mr. Andrew, I've read your posts (still am reading, uni = so little time) on Google Plus, and I enjoyed seeing real developers again. Although I had that pale face every time I read, I enjoyed every second of it, seeing people like you wiping Samsung's butts, cleaning and fixing their mistakes on their products, and now that you guys dropped Exynos support in general, Samsung walks in triumph, lingering around with a big grin, the walk of pride, no one to shed the light on their manufacturer errors, their own mess. Thank you, sir, and all those I mentioned, if you read this, I, on behalf the i9100 users enjoying the never-meant-to-run-on-i9100 KitKat that you developers opened path for since 2011. Thank you, for all your work, and our words will never repay you the effort put into reviving a dead device, a device that Samsung killed with its own "official" firmwares.. what a joke...
Back to you again my friend, take no offense towards you, as my words are words of a suffering i9100 user who keeps track of real development, something we haven't seen for a long time. Today's new upcoming developers have the balls to call themselves developers? In what right? Those people I mentioned up there, they hacked the crap out of Exynos, they don't have closed-source in their dictionary, and still, they kept on going, even when Mr. Guillaume bricked his Note back then, that's the ultimate sacrifice they did, not just damaging their devices, devices they bought with their hard-earned money, but also the time they put, and My Oh' My is time money... Today's development is all about Qualcomm, HA! With the right guides and tools, I can make you @CoolJoseph96 a developer, and we'll all do the Yippee ki-yay!!
Porting Android 5.0 from AOSP isn't a walk-in-the-park. You need the right drivers to be merged and stuff, drivers for the camera, for GPU, RIL related things, touchscreen and CPU code (stuff I have no experience of), AOSP comes with nothing, so you (not you personally) need to put in to get to call your device "a phone", because no one is willing to use Android Lollipop that barely has the 5.0 in About Phone. The device is dead, my friend, doing such threads is nice, motivational, you can probably do a "fight cancer" campaign that I'd guarantee it'll work, but a developer thread to bring developers to do something that reminds them of taking a poop (same as developing for Exynos), I don't think it'll help much. But here's a little bit of light at the end of tunnel for you, when CyanogenMod released CM 12 sources, or Omni or any other team releases their own source code, our chances will definitely increase, as porting AOSP like that to Exynos 4210 is like asking Apple for iOS sources, wait.. never mind (let's hope they don't take me to court...).
I apologize for bashing the thread like that my friend, I mean no harm or anything bad towards you, but this isn't as easy as we users think it is, Mr. Daniel used to spend days to get a new Android version booting on our device, and double the days to getting the device tree up and fixing bugs... etc. Patience is the key in such a situation, who knows, but take this for granted, all the ROMs starting from Android 5.0 and above are getting UNOFFICIAL tags, yup, no official maintainers, no official releases, and please don't tell me you believe CyanogenMod 11 Snapshots are made for stability on our device, because if anyone does, I sure got one hell of a laugh to enjoy. It's as stable as the Nightly branch.... which.... is.... unstable.... and because no developer tests those builds or commits new changes to bringing them to a real stable state, you just get lucky over there with the illusion of stability.

I compiled a kernel once but it wasn't booting.
But here's my question:
Can someone help me with it so we will make a development team
My pc can be on during the whole day/night
the specs are:
Intel Core2Duo @ 1,80GHz
4 GB R.A.M
200GB hdd
256mb Video memory ( BAD )
Please pm me if u want to help me or if you want to form a team.
Thanks in advance

@Paul_Kolanjian wind stopped blowing when i read your post, past time images started to flash in my brain as i read every word..
Truly the best appreciation post for all (current/ex) i9100 developers, thank you very much developers for all you've done..
btw i'd like to add 1 person to my thank list, that is @krarvind who introduced slim to our device.

We have to wait!

If I am not mistaken, Omni sources are up and running right?

This surely one of the best things I have read in a long time... I haven't been here since the release of the phone...but I have seen @Wayland_ACE did when 4.4 was released... He did a great job and dorimanx and all the other great devs... Also Seeing @XpLoDWilD wanting to revive the exynos 4210, sir you're amazing... Although @Entrophy512 seems to want to just completely remove exynos 4210 from his life , at least you want to try...

And thanks for the compliment. Although I didn't do much, other than helping out lost souls on the way.:angel:
If Android 5.0 will come to S-2 it will....if not....i'm more than happy and extremely thankful to SlimRoms Team and @fusionjack who's maintaining SlimSaber for us.....it's just raw power that makes me to keep my device instead of changing it

Sorry to say....but with your machine specs it would take looooong to compile the ROM. Not mentioning that you have to learn of "how to" on the way....that could be difficult coz nowadays knowledge is expected from one that offered help with "Real development stuff" like @Paul_Kolanjian said in his super post above.
The "Real Developers" don't have time to teach newbies all over. But luckily developers are very smart and they made a bunch of "How to's" all over the Google. And you can find a lot of info on that IMHO

@QA Bot went haywire, eh?...LOL

I've given up waiting. At this point I can't imagine their month-old build is less buggy than the up to date CM12 nightlies anyways. So I'm just sticking with the nightlies getting pretty shameful battery live compared to 05Q. All I want is for them to release the new camera on the Play Store so we don't have to wait :'(

I didn't put much hope for oxygen os, waiting for 12S

Everyone knew this already, i'm not sure why its such a big surprise.

Oh well. CM12 nightlies is good enough for me that I don't mind putting up with some of the silly bugs.

They need to clean up their act and speed things up. I'm sticking with nightlies but would appreciate an official stable release.

It's very bad when company not doing there promise about 3 month i bought this phone because of good support and in time promise but for sorry they couldn't. I understand about small company etc but they should say 6 month or something else to be sure that they could. It's very bad. Almost everyone got lollipop except us i think i will sell my opo and will go back to Samsung

Well its better then nothing. Good to see mid-late March dead line. 1 month is not alot if final release is nice and stable

How has OxygenOS been delayed? There has never even been an announcement about a release date.

Honestly surprised people still care about OxygenOS. Why buy a phone that has the unlimited capibilities of being rooted and unlocking the bootloader if you won't do anything with it? Just install Slim and move on, it's not like Oxygen looks all that groundbreaking and spectacular.

Thread cleaned.

Please try and be civilized. Remember at the end of the day, these are only handheld devices and not vital organs.

What are the differences between Opensource Cyanogen and Closed? Just the features/apps? Are the blobs/kernel taken from closed source?

I'm not surprised by the delay. Plenty of serious CM12 issues that I would imagine are currently present in internal CM12S builds too.

The sad part of all this is that OnePlus / CM actually has a great track record of releases from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 all happened super fast. Clearly 5.0 is a much bigger release but I'd rather them spend the time to squash bugs than release a crappy ROM. If they did that I'm certain there would be a complaint thread about that as well...

Android Police is reporting mid-late March for the release of CM12s and OxygenOS, and that
"proprietary drivers, code, QA, [and] certifications" are responsible for the company missing its 90-day deadline to update the phone to Android 5.0.

Yes its offiical OP are a complete laughing stock, they have left kitkat with a broken camera and at present CM12 nightlies still have the issue, and without access to proprietary drivers that will continue

How is your battery coming along on the nightly?
Mine is like half of what I used to get on 4.4.4.

Clearly you have never tried other phone companies and you have no clue how things work. They delay cause they want the Os to be as stable as possible with all the features working. So they could release a beta or an alpha now but it would be buggy and not working correctly, then people start complaining again about it etc etc. Just wait or flash any other custom rom that is already lollipoped. There are a ton of options all stable enough for daily use and so many great developers that make great kernels roms for the Opo. Just saying you can freely go back to Samsung or any other company you used to and pay the overpriced same spec phones with even less official support.

Keep seeing these articles in my twitter feed and think it's a OPO lollipop release. [emoji12]

The resemblance is uncanny.

Official LineageOS rom. Is it happening?

Hey community.
Is this sci-fi going to even happen?
It looks like there are less devs for lavender than before. And it's worse every day.
No, I don't want to use unofficial builds.
Someone will maybe say "it's only an official tag dude!".
No, it isn't. You MUST strictly abide rules of LOS community to become an official maintainer and this is just better. It's just better to use a rom that is secure and proved by LOS team instead of unofficial builds where devs put a tons od **** inside the code.

Are you serious? Asking for an ETA (sort of) and putting Devs on trial for "od ****"? Reading this Post you have no idea about Developing a ROM but you can identify "od ****"? Why not apply to be an Official LOS Maintainer with your mad skills?
We have good Devs here that repect Open Source! These people are using their free time to work on that! Nobody owes you an Offical Lineageos Version. Use something else or research before you buy a phone.

They are selfish AF! All they want is money from donations. But if you ask them for a help, they just ignore you.

It is my experience that they Help If the question isn't stupid or simply solved with Google. And taking donations ist No Crime. Noone here withholds their Rom for a Donation.
Do the Community a favor and get an IPhone.

I don't think anybody get rich from that money. In most cases you can buy a beer or something. Many are using ROMs, fewer are thanking for using it.

Thread closed, it has no purpose other than disrespect any developer. We love all developers, regardless if they develop official or unofficial builds, doesn't matter.
Respect them and contribute/donate to the work that was given to you for free or just go ahead without posting in this manner and hit the thanks button(at least).
