Sent from my SM-G355H

I join this request. Currently I own a SM-G355M. It seems that we have to wait until Samsung delivers the lollipop update.

Still No Lollipop !!!!!
Android 6.0 is gonna come out
but still no lollipop for our poor SM-G355H/M(Samsung Galaxy Core 2)
Feeling So Sad

I have some porting knowledge and im ready to sacrifice my device for it, is there a phone that is close to the g355h hardware-wise?

Quite good.. defenitely going to try porting the 5.1 from the Core Prime.. my first guess that we'll run into Camera issues since they have different cameras, we might need compatible G355H (or similar) camera lib for 5.1 if the older libs will run into compatibility issues.

Ok I will search and see if I find one
I didn't found any Android device with L ROM/Firmware with the exact same Camera specs as the GC2. One question: The Moto E (1st Gen) has the same Camera specs but he hasn't Front Camera... Is it possible to use the lib from this device and make front camera work? [emoji4]

Well, i've looked through some forums and i found this..
As per samsungs database core 2 (SM-G355H) & Core prime (SM-G360H) have common camera.

so i think we're good, will be easy to port.
Update: Well... i've done some more researching and it seems like only the G360F is getting the Android 5 update and the device specifications differ..
G355H: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/c7bd2c38
G360H: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/9ea92fe9 (No difference from G355H)
G360F: http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/18f33232 (Differs from both G355H and G360H)

@white-energy
I saw this and i dont know if Samsung will really release that phone ( 4 Month old post and its not better than the normal prime )

Pretty good catch there mate!
I've poked around in google and found the firmwares: http://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G531H/
Will definitely mess around with it asap.
Update: Oh i just checked the specifications of that model and it seems that the G531H isn't the Grand Prime VE.. emm.. hopefully we'll see that model out..
Update 2: It's confusing.. i can't find some solid info anywhere..
Update 3: Okay.. found something useful and it seems that the SM-G531H is the correct model that contains the same SoC as the G355H.. so we're good.

Sorry but hardly. G531 has 8 GB of internal storage(system reserved aprox. 1.6 GB because system image for G531 is larger than 1.4 GB ) and our G355 4 GB (system reserved aprox. 1.1 GB) so I don't see that fit.

well, porting already working rom from one device to another is one thing. But what rom (device) would you use?? No one build cm-11.0 for any device similar to ours. I have been searching a lot...
Building from source is totally different thing. A lot of time time to find needed proprietary files, setting up device tree, patching if needed and than building with no errors. And finale is it rom bootable or not.
I build cm-11 rom for g355hn but all I got is cm boot logo and 50-60 lines of logcat where I could seen successful loading wifi modules, loading MALI libs and some display drivers and than boom. Logcat stop and I'm in boot loop where I can't see anything else what cause phone from booting.
So if anyone can help my sources are right here:

Yes the s6 one is the only one working i know but i really want to have cyanogenmod for my a5 before any other mod,and the s6 one is not that different of the lollipop update 5.02 with a lot of bugs as its the older release of lollipop.

Ohh thats sad :/. but still ill just be patient for a developer to start to build for my specific device. The A5 can really be a nice successor. I really wish it brings same positive aspect same as the S series. Cause so jealous of samsung series have more developer than us. Anyway Good luck guys.

agreed, its a great phone with great promise, but its problem with this chinesse models and same phone with 4 diff models. You aactually need more develpoers than. I hope it will get better soon, its kinda still new phone, but compared to s series, its better to buy s5 and have tons of roms, if you are in to that stuff.I had same problem with htc desire 820, chinesse phone with no develpors, tons of models and 0 roms

I may be wrong, but it looks like both of CM13 developers are really don't like ZE550KL/500KL/500KG users for some reason. If this is impossible to release it for us, then tell at least why?

ZE500KL/KG model is not unlockable,
ZE550KL doesn't boot on our sources so since we don't have the device it's not really easy.

Plss release the cm13 for ze550kl soon plsss . I wilk give cash credits for the developer

I wish people would understand that these developers don't just magically have all the Asus phone models. They are all different inside, from CPU to GPU or screen size and partitions. They tend to buy a single model of their choosing for their own private use and then when they see no custom ROMs for their phone they decide to do it themselves. They are not working for Asus. They are every day people like you and me who are nice enough to release what they can for this community. If you wish to see CM or whatever custom ROM on your device you will either have to learn how to port it yourself or buy that specific model phone for someone who is willing to do it for you. Begging them to "make it soon" or "release now" makes you seem ungrateful and childish.
A big thanks to the people who work hard on these ROMs and release them for us to use.

-snip-

I appreciate all of done work by developers and very apologize for being ungrateful. I really understand that if we didn't get CM, we probably never would have it. Once I got answers, I have no more question and I hope for small chance to get it for our devices.
If I could help to them with testing for example, I would like to help, I have ZE550KL. But I have no skills in ROM stuff.

So , Android nougat is finally here , but unfornately only for nexus for now. I dont know about you guys , but i cant wait for it , so Will anyone port it Today ? Or its already porting ? If Yes , update me about the situation, If not guide me to an tutorial of porting, i dont know many things about porting , but i am willing to try If is there no true devs available, and please guide me to a working tutorial.

This is not true at all. You can take the AOSP source, the Moto kernel source, all the binaries you need and then spend some days to get this running.

Not saying it's time well spent or that I want to do it, just saying it's possible. Resources are available here on xda and elsewhere like http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-university-how-to-port-aosp-roms-from-source/ or you can do it exactly as if you were porting cm, https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/15492-general-cyanogenmod-porting-discussion/ or https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro .
As there already is a cm port for Marshmallow, you could try to see what they did and reapply those changes to aosp.
However probably some stuff changed so finding an Android 7 rom for a phone with very similar hardware and replacing the kernel might be a better idea. All in all as I said it's days of work or even weeks. It's just not true that it can't be done.

Already running Nougat on my nexus 6 and I gotta say there's not much that changed.
Like all the other major updates from GB, ICS,JB, KK ,LP & MM , its over rated.
By tomorrow people will be complaining about N ,like always.
I really hate when major updates happen cause it seems like people are running around like chickens without heads asking when will we receive N. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EE21MBRWQxvR9xM-iVSBrGs_Pljd4YgYsw/view?usp=docslist_api

You are forgetting proprietary drivers. Until there aren't drivers compiled for 7.0 you can't build neither a working rom. Be patient and wait for Motorola to release a working rom, at least a soak one. If you can't, buy a Nexus device.

Lineage OS?

Do you think we will have a lineageos build for huawei nova?

That would be great, but first we need a rom base for any rom....

After my exams in february I would like to try porting Lineage OS to our huawei nova...but thats not a promise, it's an "Let's try and hope.."

Too bad there was not activity on this phone yet.
I really really hoped this gonna replace my Nexus 5 ( the >5 inch / 70cm width trend sucks - phones are just too big!) - but nooope..
I had it already in the hands, good that I didn't bought it. But I maybe would if someone would work on it :laugh:

Once huawei releases kernel source I will start working on it.

Did they release those for previous phones too?
I figured since this is a snapdragon device the chance for roms will be much higher. Since they don't really release anything for their own chipsets iirc.

I think they released the kernel for many phones in the past..but you can also extract it from the stock firmware..so that shouldn't be a problem to build lineage for this device, but it takes time.. ?
