s-off discuss - One (M8) General

ok
my name is mohamed and i'm from egypt
i have htc one m8 .. and i want to make my one m8 s-off
so if i want it i must use now sunshine which @jcase and many people developed it
but i must pay 25$ !! for s-off
i know its so hard to developed that app
but man i havent any dollars or any visa to pay u the 25$ which is about 200 egp
the phone ends battery fast cuz i'm in marshmallow rom and the firmware is old so i must upgrade it
i think the developers have a lot a lot of money of that app
man its android and open source project !
and that the only method to s-off
:crying:
*sorry for my bad english*

What's your point with this post ? Why do we need to discuss s-off. The years and years of developing and trying/testing and not to mention bricking many devices is endless and that experience brought them in this position. S-off and the developers have NOTHING to do with your statement about Android open source nor google and HTC !
It's either come up with the 25 or stop chasing s-off.
And if your device's battery runs faster down on MM then flash back the stock lollipop rom and wait for your carrier/HTC to update it officially.
S-off is NOT a must....it's a luxury ! Sorry to say this but either pay up or move on.....
Cheers

Moderator Information,
The best place to discuss issues with sunshine or s-off issues is on the sunshine thread.
Many thanks,
Stephen

[Q] [NOOB] Help building custom ROM for S5 G900H

Hey guys
I'm currently working on my first custom ROM mainly because there are currently no ROM for the dreaded G900H (aka Exynos) version. For this, I already downloaded a stock ROM and created my environment using Android Kitchen. So here are my questions:
1. I was able to follow and execute all the instructions to extract the custom ROM, install root and busybox. But first... is Android Kitchen even compatible with Galaxy S5?
2. Is it important to keep the CSC info on the new ROM? How can I backup current CSC info from my stock (carrier provided) S5?
3. How probable is to brick the phone if I flash a very alpha ROM as the one I'm supposedly cooking? I already have a nandroid and EFS backup
Thanks in advance for your answer and patience.

i need custom rom too for my sm-g900h
could anyone post full guide and video showing us how make our custom rom?
really appreciate
+1
Me too, I am on the same wait. Please and thanks. :good:
answers any one?
Sent from my SM-G900H using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
at least someone give us full guide of building/modifying our stock rom to custom rom
Is there still no hope for the s900H ((((
any rom?
I cant believe no custom rom for my s900h phone. Million of users all over the world, including latin america, asia. If Iknew how to built one I would, but I have no Idea. Developers where are you?

Funny, implying that this is an statistics game. It is not and it's ridiculous to blame developers for the lack of support.
Pretty much everyone that actually develops got the Snapdragon variant, if I had a choice I'd gotten that just by the amount of code and AOSP possibility.
Exynos was only supported by a couple of devs, it's all Samsung's fault - not devs. None of them currently has an S5.
Use xposed, greenify, titanium backup and there are few reasons you'll need a custom rom.
Xposed opened a new world of possibilities to modding.
Edit: Exactly that demanding attitude is what puts devs off. Other regions are usually more polite and grateful and that's something devs have noted in the past....

Sorry if I didnt make myself clear. English is not my first language. When I mentioned the millions of user was only to imply that more users, the more chance to have a genius among them. I didnt mean to have a demanding attitude. I was trying to say "Iknow you are out there, I know you are developing something for all of us. We are here waiting for your effort.
@CiDev:
You want to share your ROM for "H" here?
i dont think that will we have any custom rom for our model
but according with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52168627&postcount=168 @Shohat told me that he will release custom rom until end of may,,but nothing..
maybe he is busy

I wouldn't bet *anything* on it being released, it looks to me like an abandoned project...
The whole 'I can't work on this because I don't have money' turned me off instantly from that ROM.
On topic: I have been working on a custom kernel for our device, mainly trying to improve battery life. I'm still testing, if it's worth it, I can release it.
It's based on the contributions of others, so it wouldn't be fair for me to keep it private, I just don't want to release something that will break stuff.

1 - yes.
2 - make an nandroid before
3 - if you have a brick, restore from your nandroid and ready again

Help from experienced Developers!

Hello devs,
I have had a Micromax Canvas 2 Colors phone since a year and a half now. Custom/Themed ROMs were uncharted territory for me till June of this year, when my warranty was about to expire. I decided to use the VionicL ROM then. One heck of a ROM that was. Later, in the span of months, so many developments came in for the device, CM11, CM12/12.1, MIUI, and so on. I was very happy to see that there are so many people working hard on providing us the very best experience on our phone. But, like most of the average mobile phone users, I used to download the ROM, install it and enjoy, nothing more than that.
Now, as the time has come for me to switch to a new phone, I am switching to Lenovo K3 Note. I have had digitizer issues with my Canvas 2 Colors and the battery back-up was a little on the poorer side. So, I'm finally giving my phone away to one of my friends and moving on. Although, I would've loved to experience the final, stable build of CM12.1. Thanks to all the devs that worked hard on that. @Al3XKOoL : Especially you, man!
Now that I'm going to be using a new phone, starting from the 28th of October as per Flipkart, I looked up the phone on xda. Unfortunately, there is no forum for the phone. I was a little disappointed, but even C2C did not have a forum a few months ago. So, I tried looking for ROMs, and I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the progress in new and variety of ROMs. I agree that it is a fairly new phone, but there are a lot of people who own that phone, so I was expecting better results. And another point that many people like me would be searching for ROMs.
The help I request from all the developers here is to teach me to develop ROMs and Porting ROMs. I am absolutely inexperienced here, but I'm eager to learn. I'm 17 years old and I am studying 12th grade at the moment. I would still love to learn about ROM development and Porting so that I can provide the people with some ROMs like you all have. Although, I will not be helping out the C2C family, I can start to help the K3 Note family in any way I can. I hope some developers are interested in having an acquaintance.
Please consider this a sincere request and if anyone can please help me learn, I would be very, very grateful to you. I know that I can't learn it overnight, and that is why I want a proper guidance.
If anyone is interested to help me learn about the things mentioned above, please contact me through a message.
Thank you and sorry for annoying you lot with a long post!
And I will be indebted forever to all the developers in the C2C community for giving me and all the C2C owners a pleasurable experience. Thank You!
Sorry for tagging you people, but I hope you don't mind and you people are the most recognized devs in the C2C community :

first of all thanks for our words..im still using my WIKO RAINBOW as my second phone..ive moved on to VODAFONE SMART ULTRA 6 and im testing MIUI 7 LOLLIPOP with a ported rom already that is booting and running with TWRP ..although is very buggy its ALPHA version still, that is nice..
for developers/porters whatever is not easy to teach someone..we have our work to do and that kind of knowledge we have, it took us a few years and at least some dead phones, hard bricks and a few other bad things that could happen to our phone..so my advice to you:
read
search
talk with other users
now and then ask for help when you need it, some users know a lot
you need time and patient..be aware that many times things will not go as you expect or wish..best of luck and keep following us in my blog and youtube..RAINBOW / MMX A120 C2C still is a good phone.:good:

Hey, thanks for taking time out to read my post and replying.
Nice to hear that you've been working on a different phone and rolling out new ROMs for that phone too!
Yes, I know that everyone have their own work, family and personal stuff and everyone are developing in their free time or as a hobby. I will be doing the same too as I have my studies as a bigger priority.
I understand it is not easy to teach anyone about developing, at least guiding is possible, right? I would be glad if you could guide me in what to read and where to be careful etc. stuff like that.
I already bricked my K3 note once and revived it somehow. I know it will not be an easy road or it is just as easy as downloading a ROM and flashing it in recovery, most of the users can do that. I know it is hard work, I will try to read, but there is so much knowledge on XDA alone that it will take me forever to read, understand and be able to implement. So, what I am asking is, if you could let me know on where to begin and in which direction to go after that, I would be indebted to you.
Again, Thank you for taking some time out, I know you have loads of work, and I hope I can be as good a developer as you someday!

There is a Chinese developer who has rolled out CM12.1, but the English translations are not complete, so there are some chinese fonts still left behind, and there are some bugs in that too. I would not recommend using that ROM for daily use till the bugs are sorted out and the full English support is included.
With some support, I was planning on compiling CM12.1 for the K3 note. I've noticed that major developments for this phone is on some Spanish and Russian websites and not on XDA. I was a little sad to see that, but hopefully, there are a lot of developments on XDA too!

Cyanogenmod 13.1 for Axon 7... When?

Checklist of Things to Do w/ Axon 7
1. Unlock Bootloader - DONE
2. Flash TWRP - DONE
3. Get Root Access, along with Root apps - DONE
4. Flash Cyanogenmod 13.1 - PENDING
Who is interested in seeing Cyanogenmod 13.1 running on the ZTE Axon 7 as much as I am? If so, please post on this thread. Hopefully, the right people will check this out and get the ball rolling on this project.
Why don't you build it ? ?
We are never happy ... let the devs work ... on the other hand they have a life and bills to pay !
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA-Developers mobile app
like tupirujp says.
If you want your question answered just contact Cyanogen directly.
***Thread Cleaned*** (removed negative, counterproductive comments/quotes, for a fresh start)
Some concerned users brought this thread to the attention of Moderation staff.
A good practice is to have the dev needing the device (Unjustified Dev) set up their own donation link, express their desire to dev for the device, and put out a little description of the work they intend to do for that device (ie; unlock bootloader, Roms , Kernels, etc)...
Otherwise, third party donation links usually only raise suspicion, mistrust, and rarely accomplish the goal of helping the dev get a device.
I applaud those who want to support developers (they certainly deserve the support), let's make sure we do it in a way that isn't counterproductive to the goal or the donation process.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Well, in order to build a rom you need:
Device Tree
Kernel
Vendor/Proprietary files
We have versions of the first two already loaded on GitHub. It's a (hard) matter of someone figuring out what proprietary files we need and then going through the iterative testing to ensure all the hardware components are working. So, let the devs have time with the phone to see what they can figure out and we'll start seeing development.
Please Cyanogenmod come to this device..

Hello all, thnx for reading this. Im IceQube and im a life long Iphone user since the very first one. But if left that part if me behind and choose for the Huawei p10 plus. Its an amazing phone. But i do have some questions because im a total android noob.
I read allot about rooting and different kernels. And the way i read it, it sounded pretty much the same as "jailbreaking" an IOS device. Can someone help me get into this rooting and get more out of my amazing huawei smartphone.
Thank you very much, IceQube.

At this moment in time there isn't any official ways to root the p10 plus.
Basically most, if not every phones are rooted in this order
Unlock the bootloader which allows you to install custom recoveries. ( Voids the warranty in most places )
After unlocking you can then flash a recovery, ( needed in order to flash ROMs, .Zips )
After flashing the custom recovery, you can easily flash root and ROMs. It sounds complicated but it's about a 10 minutes job but since your new i advise you wait for official methods because if you brick your phone, there's no way of recovering. Erecovery on the device never worked for me. I had to pay for it to be fixed. Check out www.funkyhuawei.club if it ever happens.
I can help you unlock your phone and install the recovery and current unofficial root method however you won't be able to mount /system which is pretty much pointless.

@XtraArrow did a good explanation above. In short....don't bother rooting just yet. Just use the phone as it is for now until such time you see the development thread grow with custom ROM's

1) no. There isn't manufacturer support anymore. The development is quite good on xda but in my opinion there are other phones with better development from manufacturers(and that's needed cause the drivers need to be up to date)
2)official rom see above. It's old, outdated no security patches. Don't stay with it, it has too many bugs)
3)see above. No official roms anymore.
Would recommend to cancel order and invest it in another device. There are several threads if you need assistance.
I had this device since release and know all the ups and downs of it. The development on xda is great but the manufacturer did a bad job.
