Hi,
Well, now that we've (almost) got Froyo on our Galaxy 3s (i5800/i5801), do you think now would be a proper time to get something done to port CyanogenMod to it? I dunno why exactly it hasn't been done yet, looking at the popularity of the phone. We can request the CM developers/maintainers to port it or if someone is willing to do it themselves, that'll be good.

good idea - I've red today an article about the new release and improvements in it. Would be great
well ask this question cyanogen's forum. Hopefully they will take note.
Else one of us will have to take initiative and ask them for help
see here: hxxp://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6711-samsung-galaxy-3-gt-i5800/
Well, that thread's been there since the 12th of September, and I don't think anyone has noticed it yet. What I think we should do is that one of us should PM any of the mods on the CM Board, and then they'll do something about it.

Have you done this? Any replies? CyanogenMod would be really cool
Umm, I haven't approached them yet, I will soon, as soon as I get my phone. Till then anyone who's a member in the CM Forums should PM them.
Guys, please keep in mind that the cyanogen team can not do a port to a phone they do not own, so there are two possibilities,
start porting ourselves, like the Galaxy S comunity did
ask the devs if one would consider porting if he gets a "fundraised" SG3 and if so start a bounty...
We can try porting it ourselves. I'm in. I'll do as much as I can. I have some experience in coding. Anyone else who wants to help can join. I will search their wiki and ask them instructions on how to port CM to G3.
The fundraiser method can also be done, unfortunately, I can't donate much. If others can, then we can do something.
You can't port it yet: Samsung haven't yet deliver the source for 2.6.32 kernels. They suck.
Is it the same kernel used in Android 2.2? If that's so, we should have it soon. 2.2 on G3 is on its way, and it should be on Samsung OSP soon.
Can anyone tell. ..wat are bugs in leaked froyo for g3...???

Is reading the appropriate thread too much to ask? See Android development forum!
Okay, so I'm getting my phone tomorrow. Anyone volunteering for porting CM to our G3s? I will now ask them from instructions/guidelines on porting.
Im in.. ill do as much help as i can..

I could be of help. Lets start something
Hey guys and girlz,
as many of you know, the developement for our device is not that great and fast because everybody (except from ivendor and arco and maybe some others) is working alone on a ROM/kernel. We could speed this up by building a dev team where all devs for our device and maybe from galaxy w can work together and improve ROM for ROM instead of doing each ROM alone.
Hope we can do this :good:
If anybody is interested, post it here or PM me
Greets and regards,

Hm. Mate are you blind? Look at this forum. We have a lot of roms, some are even twice there from 2 different developers.
For me, personally its perfect like it is. Arco and Ivendor as lead developers for CM10. Other devs can contribute or take their work and make a new rom out of it.
Especially for a almost 2 years old device our forum is really awesome and you should be happy for what weve got here.
Just my 2 cents.
P.s: This is the development section. You should ask things like that on the General section, in the i9001 thread.

First of all, i appreciate all the work of ivendor , skywalker, brood, xistance and arco and others who did an amazing job of porting major roms to our device. But i must honestly say, i agree on some points with the OP. It is amazing with what we achieved on our small but awesome community, but our phone is getting old and eventually we will be left behind. So now it is the best time to combine all of the knowledge that is hidden in our i9001 section to ensure the future.
In the past year i have been in this section i saw a lot of stuff that could be fixed faster if people would communicate more, like the well known cm9 camera problem (i dont know for sure there was miscommunication as i dont know what happened in the background). A dev team would be awesome.
But i am afraid that this won't work anymore. The glorious days of the i9001 are over. Many good devs left us.
But is is worth the shot. Would be so awesome! If you have any android knowledge, please join.
(I am to stupid. I cant join. I know how qtADB works but that is all).
Also i like the idea of combining the two devices and make a giant dev team for both so we can benefit from there knowledge and they from ours!

No i'm not, otherwise I couldn't have read the forum and written this here
(Just joking)
I know that we have a lot of ROMs, but there are some from 2 different developers because one of them hasn't updated very long or stopped the project and then a new dev took the work.
Thats your personal opinion and I accept it.
I mean this all because of the bugs that have to be fixed.
No its not that awesome, look at the dhd, they have a big dev team who solves most of the bugs there and they have fully functional Android 4.2 and MANY more ROMs than we have also have a look at some other 2 or more year old devices, most of them have big dev teams who do fast and great work.
I really appreciate the work of all our developers (!!we have a 3.4 kernel which even much newer and better devices don't have!!) but we can make this even better and faster.
Thanks i know this but in general section we couldn't get a team together and i also forgot about this section because i mostly (nearly only) use the developement section
Greets and regards,
markey
I seem to agree with xellar's view. Our I9001 forum is great as it is for a two year old device and development seems to be moving forward at a well-placed pace. I dont see any point in creating a ''dev team'' . Dont get me wrong , I'd love to see it happen. But Im comfortable with the pace here .
AW: [DEV] Finding a devs team
I would also apreciate a dev. BUT the developement of the last 2 years was that good, that i can't comlpain on anything. It works very well the way it goes now. Maybe in the near future (~6 moths) when more importent (doesn't mean the other are unimportant) devs leave the s+ and 5.0 will be roll out, maybe then we need a dev-team.
But we have already s.t. like dev-teams:
Arco and Ivendor (CM9/10)
The kernel devs (Erik, castagna, Biagio, Christopher, ...)
Xistance and Doom (CM10.1)
They all share allready there knowledge and function.
So... No need to hurry in my opinion :beer:

i think we have a lack of devs contributing to really port the newer versions of android. its only arco and ivendor who are doing this and since arco wanted to concentrate more on his own device its only ivendor (arco is yet still involved with our phone). everyone else is "just" forking from ivendor, aokp, aosp and paranoid which is great and which is not necessarily easy. without them there would be nothing else but the cm rom. still its not comparable to ivendors or arcos work. i dont want to diminish the importance of the work of others (sadly i have to always mention it when saying things like that...). i just didn't see them commit to ivendors github and ivendors credits concede my point.

As true as this is, I still don't like the fact that you say we just fork their work. Both arco and ivendor haven't even started doing any real work on 4.2, forget giving us anything. Camcory and I have brought 4.2 by ourselves, just using arco's kernel source(which is REALLY important so I'm saying nothing to arco).
you probably saw what a mess the "perfectly working cm7" was even though mazen said hes not a real developer. when the 3.4 kernel came up it turned out to be not properly ported. no offense to both of those guys since cm7 actually was usable and the kernel had its right to exist (educk, if you read this, no need to defend yourself, i've read the whole thread).
but you must understand that im kind of suspicious with new things since i don't know if you know what youre doing. im not judging, i really don't know because i'm not qualified. also i dont see anything else going on on your github but your 4.2 porting. so i cant see any references. i also dont see any commits from camcory. thats another thing i cant get an opinion about.
but arco and ivendor have proven to be pretty skilled. i remember someone saying we would never have a 3.x kernel because someone who wanted to port it would be insane...
im still thankful for what youre doing since if ivendor quits its all on you
and im sorry you got in the "just forking" cathegory and everybody else who doesn't feel he belongs there. im just generalizing...
just actually saw your sig. still doesn't change much

This thread needs to be closed. Its like a slap in the face for all of our developers. Shame on you! Show some respect to them. They sacrifiy a lot time to give us a better user experience for our phones but well, everyone is like "hurrdhurr dat fone is not even like a galaxy s3 now brah after flasching tis rom my fone suks bad ass".. Instead of saying thanks to the developers or donate some buck to them for a fresh beer or something.
Always remember this is a single core device, with a midrange chipset and it cant handle even close as much as a S3 or S2.
We have a fully working (vsync and tripple buffer are working and all ither stuff) Jellybean cm10. Not even the s2 or s3 have this because of the lack of sources for their exynos cpus.
I hate this unrepectless behavior.
Be happy with what you got here FOR FREE. And for a Non-flagship device like our i9001, we have A HELL OF A LOT roms and kernels!
Get your **** together people.

Disrespectfull: YES understandeble: YES.
At our forum/development we got 1-person teams. Some ROMS are made with someone on the background (CM9/CM10/CM10.1).. But the other ROMS that are based on these are made and maintained by 1 person.
I got the feeling that some of us dont have PATIENCE..
And that is something what is very stupid.
Teams are working faster and fixing faster and better bugs in ROMS, that is true.
If the OP want to make a team just ask some developers for godssake. These topic are as disrespectfull as saying WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE OR FIXING THIS OR THAT in every goddamm topic.
Just my opnion..

Alright, even through, I shouldn't have any comments here as you already screw things up really bad, I feel like I must do it to clear things up a bit around here.
First of all, you said yourself that you don't have any knowledge related to software development, so why are you messing with people that actually devote time to do it? If you have no ideea what development is, why are you talking about it in this manner? I mean, it is ok to ask or to make mistakes, everybody does, nobody is perfect but I consider this post offensive and I must defend myself here.
Second, as far as I'm consern, my GitHub is MINE and I and only I will decide when to push something there. I cannot be forced by anyone to do anything. So, your sentece "I didn's see anything going on on your github" so what?!? Tell me, why should I post anything just for you to see it? Ah, you think I lack activity? Again, so what? I or any other Open Source developer cannot be forced by anyone to publish something. We do this because we like it, we are not paid for it. Maybe if you would pay me to do these things, yeah you could have the right to judge my activity. This is open source, this is Android, the developers are bringing stuff to the end user but the end user is free to choose if he wants to use that piece of software or if he doesn't want to use that software. Same applies to you, you don't have to flash anything on your phone just because it's there online, if you don't like it, don't use it .
About my 3.4 kernel. I mentioned in the OP of the thread that it is an early "alpha" nothing more. I even used the word "preview". If the end user doesn't like the way the kernel is, than he wont use it.
Oh, and I'm not supposed to say this but I'll take this opportunity just for you to see that I'm not lacking activity and actually I want to develop that 3.4 kernel, also I'll explain why I didn't update anything on github.
I worked locally, and everytime I fixed something, 2 other errors came up, after I fixed those 2, another 3 came up and so on. That's why I choosed not to push anything to git until I get something concret. I said this a million times actually: I have no ideea when that kernel will be ready and if it will be ready, I am going to decide if it will be published to git and XDA or not. This is my personal decision, you can't influence me in any way to do anything.
Also, I'm not a full time developer, I'm still a beginer, I'm still learning things here and I choosed to share my work with others, here on XDA because I thought that my work could be usefull. If you or anyone else don't find it usefull, as I said, don't use it .
Also, ivendor won't quit either and there is nothing on me...again, you are trying to push me...this is hilarious...I choosed to start the 3.4 kernel project but that doesn't mean that I must finish it... I really hope you understood something from this post, if not please, just let it go and ignore it. Also, there is no need to apologise, you were wrong by trying to put pressure on me but I ignored it, as you probaly noticed.
Cheers,
Erik

Hey and Hello Folks, it's been a while since my last Post on the Nexus 6 Forums...
Maybe there are some People left who remembers who i'am, but this isn't Important yet!
I'm just creating something new and get some help with it from a advanced Developer which is well known to some of You.
What i want now? I want a Team! Someone who helps me to stay cool if it gets hard. Someone who helps to create and test Things with Me...
I don't want to say what it is now (CopyCats everywhere), but i'm excited about it and it goes Cross Device Supporting in the Future if all goes right...
I'm searching specially for Themers and People which are advanced with Modifying ROMs or Sources...
A Name for this Project is already selected and the Plan is to follow My Plan. If You're interested and worthy to trust, i will tell You what i want to do and You can decide if You want to Join. But this here is TOP-SECRET and i want to Release it with a Big Bang and without any Public Infos before...
We can use the Thread if You want, but Infos about the Project get shared only over PM or Hangouts/Allo! Peace Y'all :angel:
Push
If you're still looking for someone, I might be interested. This reply is my first post on XDA in the longest time, but I used to be very involved in the ROM, kernel, and theme scene. I've also recently begun building apps. I know my way around the source code, and the Java and xml inside the apk's, so I know I could be of some help with the theming at the very least.
This kind of project may just be enough to pull me out of "retirement", so please, feel free to contact me if you'd like. You can PM me here, and we can set up a Hangouts chat or something.

Getting help from a expierenced AOSP Dev now! Join us dear Developers... We will start off asap!
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.

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 ?

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.
With plethora of 8.1 rom out here and no significant difference upcoming (no offence), can some one please port MIUI for a1 ?
Kindly do not reply with ,, do yourself or something non helpful.
No.
I'm just gonna go ahead and ask you why didn't you buy a MIUI device from the start if you like it, like Mi 5x. Porting is a lot of work and requires much time from someone to dedicate, i'm sure it might be a possibility in the future but in more of a sideproject way for someone here, but if and only if they wish to experiment with something like that and have the time. MiA1 is an AOSP device and it's focus is on stock roms, that the whole idea behind Android One anyway, if anything we should be excited about android P when it arrives!
Why?
People Come here for Other Ports of ROM than MIUI for near stock experience and while you are already getting stock OS you are whining for MIUI? Why? You could have gone for MI 5X or Redmi note 4 if its not available in your country.
Do yourself
