Hi,
How come there's such a lack of custom kernels for our S10+ devices?
I remember the S7/S8 having some atleast.
Has it become increasingly difficult or have our usual developers left the Samsung ecosystem?
Samsung isn't known for being developer friendly. I think Samsung needs to release their kernel source code for the S10+ before devs can create custom kernels. Maybe they haven't done that yet.
Kernel source has been released already . With the us version being locked and the EU version not having the same proc and being known to be hard to dev for . It could be awhile

But can we patch stock kernel with some mods like usb-drive and cdrom-drive emulation
I knew that these 2 libs must be added to patch but how safely i can patch it? Can you or somebody help?
drivers/usb/gadget/f_mass_storage.c
drivers/usb/gadget/storage_common.c
Thanks

There are only few custom roms released for exynos version till now.
I request the devs to please release some roms for the exynos version as well.
I saw many roms for the snapdragon one , but very few are there for the exynos one.
Looking forward to the devs :laugh: :good:

It's all about the Exynos source, as to what get's released by Samsung and what doesn't. The Devs cannot do a lot without up to date sources, and Samsung are not very known for distributing them. They either release part sources, or really outdated ones.

Ohk , thanks for the reply.
Then we can't do anything except waiting for Samsung to release the sources
Hy all,
I love this phone, but one thnig disapoint me : NO roms oO NO customs roms at all !
I have nexus devices before, and all this custom think missing me ,
I read than developers don't love this phone because SAmsung don't released the source code
but I see this on Samsung website :
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=sm-g928
It's all versions source
It's not enought to start real developpement ?
Source code is not the issue. A locked bootloader is the issue, on Verizon and AT&T anyway.

Cm or aosp no, but you have a lot of roms and kernels in the development section.
the problem is that exynos is not open source, especially some hardware blobs!
that's the reason why qualcomm based devices will get cm and aosp, exynos based devices would need a lot of fiddling and reverse engineering, thus cm/aosp support is often not the case!
Is there any custom Roms for Samsung A7 2016 (SM-A710F). I have tried search custom rooms for my device but no luck?
I request to Room developers to please port some custom roms for this device i will be highly thank full to you guys. i am sick of using Samsung stock rom :crying::crying::crying:
Please do not ignore this post......
Me too, please create CM 13 for a710fd
Yes, please!
Anything but the boring Samwiz.
Let's keep this thread alive, so it may have some visibility.
i don't know why no developer make any ROM for this fantastic device yet. i have been using this device from the day it release and i am still in love with it........ Developers please do some thing i really need a change of ROM for my love(device)........
Agree absolutely! I have a lot of issues after uprading to Kitkat and then Mashmallow, with each upgrade introduced more serious issues rendering the dual SIM always on a useless feature. Really tired of Samsung ROM.
By custom roms, I assume you mean AOSP roms... Well, our samsung A7 & A5 2016 has exynos soc (except the A7100 & A5100, both has snapdragon I think). Exynos is somehow closed-source which means AOSP roms created for exynos devices are full of bugs because of missing source for the CPU. That is why less/no developers build AOSP roms for exynos devices.
In short,
exynos = closed source
closed source = no developer interest
no developer interest = no custom roms
sad
Rom Found
Finally i find a rom for A7 users :good::laugh::silly::victory::highfive:

Need more Roms. Specially lineage based Roms for this device
There are a few...
I am using Centaurus ron as my daily driver and its free of bugs.
The developers upfate it regularly you can chec it out here https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/development/rom-centaurus-v1-t3833685
We have a git of bunnyy to compile, we have everything to make a Lineage 16
Hello guys just want some info.
I'm not an expert at software and customizations, but i want to ask you guys some more info about the source codes of Nougat for our Gs6/Gs6e.
So the source codes are released is it now possible to create custom roms like Reserrection Remix, LineAgeOs etc?
Or are those sources only for stock samsung roms? Because it wasnt possible to make custom roms ''AOSP ROMs" when the phones were released, and now samsung released the sources codes so its is possible again like the galaxy s5 to make awesome roms?
Zip file is 170mb.
Here is the link to the Nougat kernel sources codes: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=G920f Slow Download Speeds
SM-G920F - G920FXXU5EQAC Mega Download Link: SM-G920F_NN_Opensource.zip Fast Download Speeds
Let's hope we get badass roms
This is kernel source code, for good AOSP we need Exynos source code.
What can this kernel? or what they do?

The kernel source provided by Samsung is used for every custom kernel compatible with exynos 7420. With the Nougat version of the OS pack, developers can now build full-compatible Nougat kernels for S6 & S6 edge

ooh ok thank you
925T compatible?
This mean good pictures quality? Good camera? Or the kernel is different than the drivers?
No xD
The kernel is the road between the OS and the hardware, it will translate every informations sent by drivers (example: camera.open) to the dest. hardware.
Famous Exynos sources aren't there, that's only the kernel.
Samsung could release Exynos sources like Broadcom did, just we need a big amount of people and a petition.

thats pretty sad was hoping for some good roms with this
As Xiaomi has just released the kernal sources for mi a1 but sadly nougat kernal sources ... I just want to know what's new with the updated kernal? Eventually i think the first custom rom for Mi A1 would be based on Android 8.1. As far as i have seen many phones dont have latest android version kernal sources but still get the latest roms... Liked to a detailed explanation about it...
Also thanks to fransico , Android Authority and many more who have supported us on this ... Just hoping to be stable custom roms within weeks or so
it should be a major help nontheless! think about all those devices that have great stable android 8.1 custom roms and only marshmellow kernel sources available!
EDIT:// If you look through all the branches, there is not a single oreo specific kernal source, also very popular devices like kenzo with lollipop sources only.
These Mi A1 kernel sources should have everything devs need to build something nice.
this will also be a great help for the developer to get the best custom rom and kernels as we have the second latest Kernel source code.
What is a kernal?

SAVAGE !!! LOL
Kernal Sources are like the source codes of the phone through which only it possible to develop our own flavor of roms

Kernel is the middle man between your software (andriod) and hardware (your phone in its physical form)
Kernels are the fruit of a corn.
