So our phone, is really good, we got cm 11 and cm 12 running, so why don't we have the more special roms? Like flyme os (http://www.flyme.cn/en/) or ubuntu touch? Sailfish os. Most of these, roms have their source released, so for people to pick it up, shouldn't be hard right?
Sailfish os - https://sailfishos.org/develop/hadk/
Ubuntu touch - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Building
Flyme os - Well it's builded for the nexus 5, but aren't we able to port it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/official-flyme-nexus5-kk-4-4-flyme-3-8r-t2875908
And admins, please do not movie this topic, as it won't get as much focus.
bump!
I'd be interested too, what comes to mind is hardware limitations and lack of sources from LG to build on? I have for a couple of months and I still haven't wrapped my head in all the info, but I think we have some limitations as I mentioned above. Someone who's more informed can correct me tho

So let me get this straight, are we able to port any rom, from a phone as long as the cpu is 810 snapdragon?

The issue is that LG does not release the source code for LG G3, whereas the nexus 5 even though it is manufactured by LG, people have the sources for it. So developing all these different roms is not as easy as you think, we have only just got MIUI rom for this device and it is not even official. its not a SD810 btw.

I don't get it, can't we take the roms from another phone using our cpu, and just port it from there?

Im not being mean at all, you're failing to understand that its not easy to just port roms, and its not even about porting roms, there has to be enough demand for it, devs need to have the device and not all devs do because they move to other devices, if it was an easy process then there would be loads of other roms, but the majority of roms are now Cyanogen and aosp based because thats the easiest way to as they have the sources for that.

I never ported a rom, but i saw some guide on porting a rom, where you would take something from the rom you want to port, and some from the base. So i thought it was like that! I'm so sorry, if i said anything mean to you Hope you have a great day :highfive:
Porting isn't the way you would want to work. For the best results you would need all sources and complete documentation of the hardware to be able to build a rom for a device from scratch.

There is no "simple" ROM.
You can't just put another phone's ROM to G3, it doesn't work like that.
In PC world, you can install Linuxes and Windows operating systems mostly as you want, but in mobile, things are different.
So if there is no port for the custom ROMs then why not features like Download Booster from the Galaxy S5, this is a possibility maybe it is hard to do but give it a chance, just an idea that I like

What i mean was, would i be able to follow some of those porting guides. Where you take a bit from the lg g3 rom, and then some from the rom you want to port?

As Robin2 put it ealier, you would need sources that aren't available.
The Rom porting procedures have been becoming more and more complex with time. Elements like drivers, framework, and so forth are much more complex comparing with Gingerbread. A rom by then used to be 300mb (stock), nowadays we got 1gb roms, much more "little things", overal, it's a lot harder and more complex. You can easily compare, there used to be more ports with gingerbread and ICS than with KK and L. It's a lot of work required to make things happen, even with the same chipset, there's still a lot left to do, specially when we're talking about lack of sources available to make a porting happen and much more complete.
Also, when we're talking about porting a stock rom from HTC to LG, gets worse. manunfactures put a lot of customization (not only GUI) into their firmwares, much more proprietary stuff, much more complexity comparing with a "simple" CM12. It's porting 200mb comparing with 1gb of custom elements. You get the picture. Unfortunatly it's harder than ever and so time consuming and not always with good results. Sources are literally a requirement these days and we don't have them (or don't have them all).

This is going to make the custom ROM scene for this line of phones, if it ever exists, a nightmare. And it's the exact reason why I just may not purchase this phone now. Who in their right mind is going to make ROMs to support the 8000000 versions of the Zenfone 2 (if the right things even happen to allow it)?
I know right. Some many Models its hard to keep up with them. I'm sticking with the Intel version, because its just a repeat of the first generation of the ZenFones and the Intel version overpowers the Snapdragon 410 and 615. I just hope we get an unlocked bootloader and Official Root.:thumbup:

this is madness..and yet they still didnt unlock bootloader for ze551ml and keep releasing newer model..but the i am most disappointed by asus for they support on lollipop, android OS is acting like crazy on this android 5.0r2..they should focus on improving this intel version first before they get blamed by older users..

Intel powered Zenfone 2's will still continue to be Flagships. The newer Versions, i.e. Selfie, Zenfone 3 and these New Snapdragons are no competition to our device. Asus is lagging in updates. It should have fixed the battery issues by now. Asus must give users an option to Install stock AOSP on our devices. ZenUi might be great, it is also heavy on system resources and battery.
its simply like the exynos vs snapdragon time of the samsung series.. no biggie.

Well actually from what I seen.. all four ZE551ML variants (2gb z3560, 4gb z3560, 4gb z3580 32gb, 4gb z3580 4gb) have single rom and ZE550ML have separate rom...so i dont think there will be a problem...
The model numbers surely will confuse lots of users, ZE500ML is Intel and ZE500KL is Snapdragon, I predict lots of hard bricks...

Well that's good to know. I am still now leaning towards getting a used LG G3. A lot less confusion there to say the least, and I will get it for less than $300, so win-win in those two aspects.

Attached is an APK of the graphics driver (newer than the ones currently on the S8) I pulled from a system dump of a Note 8. I was hoping to get some help from a developer if possible to be able to use with the S8.
It can be installed like a normal APK on the S8 or S8+, however it's not utilized because of the differing names:
S8: com.samsung.gpudriver.S8Adreno540_70
N8: com.samsung.gpudriver.N8Adreno540_71
EDIT: I have also attached the updated Exynos drivers: GPUDriver-N8MaliG71_71.apk
Hoping a developer would have to the ability to adapt this for S8 use.
Maybe this is a dumb question , but what is this for ? Thanks

Well, these are a newer version of the GPU drivers we have currently in S8, so there may be a performance improvement.

The note8 has a newer version of TouchWiz (8.5 vs 8.0), and is also running a slightly newer version of Android (7.1 vs 7.0), so those drivers have been specifically made for the note8. Like previous post said, trying to port the new drivers to a phone with older software will probably just be a major headache. Rather wait for the s8 to get updated TouchWiz and Android from Samsung.

Hi all
There are so many models. My reasearch suggests that all are the same hardware. So if i get a canadian model 950w8 i should be able to flash anything. Is that true? Or should i consoder paying more for international version 950f?
Thanks for your input

W is Snapdragon, which I have, and you can't flash any ROMs. Get an f version without a locked bootloader
Thanks for saving me! I completely thought w8 was not snapdragon! Much appreciated.

No problem! The s7 edge I had was Exynos which had tons of development. Not being able to root is strange for me.
Also have exynos (ok, where I live there is only exynos) but I dont regret to not buying the snapdragon. I also think the exynos has better battery life than snapdragon
Is it Possible to Flash Samsung's One UI on Oneplus 8 series without Unlocking Bootloader, like Color OS was Available few weeks back Officially.
Are you suggesting flashing Samsung Firmware onto a OnePlus device? Or are you asking if there's a skinned OnePlus ROM One UI? Color OS was available but it's built for OnePlus devices.
I re-posted as a reply.....hence the dbl post.

You could maybe get the launcher and some bits, but bare in mind that not even the OnePlus camera is ported to custom ROMs that aren't OOS.
Frankly I think the chance of getting a Samsung OS port OnePlus is between 0-1%
I really don't understand why anyone would want it.
If you want to do it then good luck..

Great, good for you.
This will not happen on this device..
If it does it'll be broken, Samsung does not make it easy to port their stuff.
LG? I don't think they care anymore.
Motorola? Pretty sure they're owned by Google or were, so wouldn't imagine the leap being massive.
But the amount of services and crap you'd need to port one UI correctly, sorry but it's not happening.

Like I said
What doesn't work / Bugs:
NFC
Alert Slider(duh?)
Auto Rotation toggle doesn't do anything so keep it disabled.
Brightness goes from 50% at the minimum to 100% very quickly so You can only use 50,75,100% within 1mm of slider length.
Vibrations
FP Scanner
AOD brightness is always 100%
RIL
Samsung Cloud has problems with logging in.
Bixby probably would work but has to be updated. (Use APKMirror and try!)
Probably more stuff. Working on fixing all bugs.
Is it worth it? To me? No.
Why not just get a Samsung? Never quite understood why people buy a phone, then flash a Port on it. I mean if you want MIUI by a Xiaomi, if you want One UI buy a Samsung.

I agree mate, unless you're in the UK in which case you'd be getting the exynos chipset which is pretty crap.
Don't get me wrong is someone makes a fully functional or even semi functional ROM from any other device then yes it's great, I just know Samsung as I've had a few and their OS is just not for the faint of heart, even their watches were hard to port android to (older ones specifically)
But yea, if you want OneUi, there's only one real way to get it
