Hello,
I have a question !
Why you still are developing versions of the A500FU (Samsung Galaxy A5 2015)?
You can start developing versions on the A510F (Samsung Galaxy A5 2016) please?
I think I am not the only person to want this because the only version we Laquel right until today it is the 5.1.1 with TouchWiz overlay that slows us the phone.
Thank you.
You want to shift the attention from a certain phone to another?
Fine, make sure you buy the devs the new A5.
Devs will share what they work with, they cant just blindly innovate for people a rom without actually having the phone itself.
Unfortunately for you, not many devs bought the 2016 series, as they have Exynos chips made from samsung, which have no public documentation to support the devs work.
Absolutly true story!

HI there folks,
I am a newborn noob here. Would like to introduce myself.
I have recently bought the first Android device I have ever owned which is the i9500 Octa Core and I am loving it, I have found that Android is 100000000000x999 times better than any other mobile operating system and so I have a huge interest in it. Have been reading about it for a month now and I want to many things to my device but unfortunately can't because the i9500 does not get much love, especially here in South Africa, where Samsung can't even provide us with the latest firmware update.
I really want to root & flash my phone however I don't want to Void my warranty and I know that the Triangle Away app can remove the flash counter however it does not support i9500 Octa yet...
I am an experienced Graphic Designer, have been doing it for 5 years using Photoshop and sometimes CorelDraw, so if anyone would like me to help out with designs for their applications, I don't mind helping out.
I have a lot of knowledge about Computers and Cellphones however not enough about Linux based systems, that is why I am here, to learn, learn and learn.
Also I wanted to ask if I can put Google Stock Android OS 4.2 or 4.3 on my i9500 Octa instead of using Samsung's crappy TouchWiz? Is it possible?

Not possible. Not yet atleast. Doc Rambone is working on porting over the i9505 google edition 4.2.2 rom but we haven't heard from him in a while

If you wanted a lot of developer love (and namely AOSP love) you should have looked into buying/importing an i9505. Sad, but true. DocRambone has successfully ported the Google stock android OS to the i9500 but is fighting bugs. Though the CM team has announced that they've (or one of them at least) gotten an i9500 and will get CM on it.
It's basically like this:
AOSP love = Qualcomm equipped phones or Nexuses
Of course exynos phones can have AOSP love as well, however since there isn't much reference out for the exynos chip (not a single shred of documentation or useful source), getting AOSP to those devices will be hard. The Nexus 10 tablet has exynos 5, though, but it's a different chipset than the one in the Octa S4. Exynos 5250 is the N10 and 5410 in the S4 and both use very different GPU's.
I am thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 LTE and I was wondering if you will officially support this device for your custom ROM?
I have one..., i'm looking forward to a custom rom !

Standard answer here:
Find a maintainer in your device's own forums.
Projects like this are done by volunteers. As such, people choose to work on devices they want to work on. Some of us will take on devices upon request in special circumstances, but only if we've got some initial interest in them. (For example, most of the core team love Oppo because they've been so nice to us, so when they send us a device, we go out of our way to support it. Within limits, though - being MTK-based has really killed the R819.)
In the case of Samsung devices - many of us worked with Samsungs in the past and never want to touch them again. So if you want such an oddball/niche device supported, you'll need to find someone in that device's forums that's interested in doing the bringup.
Hey all, i am thinking of buying a note 4 and in my country they sell both variants the F and the C, I dont care much about custom aosp roms and i would like to ask, the S6 firmware when it comes on what variant it can be ported more easily? If not the whole rom then maybe most of the features?
Thanks
Up!

It's possible but I wouldn't expect to see it for some time. First we need the device. Also the Source for said device/kernel. Also the source for your device your porting to. Then there has to be a developer; with both devices, has time to develop, willing to share it, has not left XDA, and is willing to support and fix any problems. Basically flip a coin. Guess heads or tails. That's your answer.
There is a posibility that we'll get the new touchwiz UI in a later update..5.1 maybe.
That is why i am asking, to me as i understand N910C is the more powerful CPU, i don't play many games so for me its my first choice, but in terms of support we all know that the exynos doesn't have any sources, so i am asking if and when the S6 comes, will i get the ported touchwiz hypotheticaly or the snapdragon version is easier way to be ported?
Hi all,
I always had Nexus phones, I don't really like samsung.. but this time, I obtained an S6 Edge Plus for nothing, and look into the dev forum, I think this forum is empty of many knowed roms, but the S6 Edge forum is full of tons of roms
My question is WHY ? because this phone is new ? or not many devs are interrested by them ?
Will he have a great XDA support from devs for custom AOSP 6.0 roms ?
I want to know this, because with Nexus and OnePlus phones, I always love to switch and test all custom roms, if I can't make same on this S6 Edge Plus, I will sell them
Thanks a lot

+ 1
especially that it is the same hardwarev specifications , except the amount of ram, am I wrong?
As far as I know, Samsung has not released the sourcecode for the edge+, making it difficult for devs to build roms for it. Its still possible, but most devs are boycotting the phone in protest against this.
That's why there arent many roms, and it'll probably stay that way. But we will be getting 6.0 sometime in January or February, depending on your carrier.
Yes, but please, STOP Quote entire posts just for that, a simple Quick Reply is Enought
He quoted you because he had one of the same questions you did, many people would have done the same.

If it would be possible, or that simple, somebody would have ported it already, don't you think?
I think it has a lot to do with the processor generation.
The GT-I9506 has Marshmallow TouchWiz ROMs, because the it has the Snapdragon 800 processor, and the S7 has the 820. So they are very close.
The GT-I9505 has the Snapdragon 600 processor, which is a totally different generation, and the GT-I9500 has a completely different processor.
