After looking through the forums.... - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I can't believe how many newer phones have aosp, ics, and Miui builds. That the heck is going one here? Especially the Galaxy Nexus. Any thoughts?

Cause ASOP freakin rules!

I know it does. I thought for sure cm would jump on this phone. No one even knows if they are planning cm9 for our device. Honestly this is sprints number one phone too.

Sorry devs that develop aosp get banned round these parts.

AOSP is a whole different ball game when it comes to roms. Not to discredit the stock based rom, but they start with something that is already 100% working. Unzip that into a rom kitchen (prob dsixda kitchen) and make edits. The kitchen is scripted and will adjust memory values, add root/bustbox, and all that goodness. I posted a copy paste of kitchen options below. AOSP/CM is compiled from source, meaning you must get each thing working one by one and submit that code to a github then sync with AOSP/CM code and build from source. Samsung is known for their proprietary drivers, meaning closed source, making this process much harder. Because of this many devs stay away from Samsung and tend to favor HTC, HTC is/was known as developer friendly. If I ever get another Samsung it will be a Nexus device, if no Nexus device than its back to HTC for me. Call me a HTC fanboy all you want, but HTC devices get TONS of AOSP support!

Throw in the fact that Sprint has a CDMA/WiMax network that is US only, meaning a much smaller possible user/developer base compared to the international reach of the GSM GSII's and you end up with platform that is not that attractive to develop for.
However I get a feeling that the Epic 4G Touch will see some CM9 love, at least that's what I'm hoping since I've not heard anything about an official CM7 build from the CM team.

Nexus only for me too
I have been using HTC devices since 2005, this year I used two samsungs Droid Charge and E4GT, as soon as Nexus comes to sprint I will switch to it. Will try to stay away from Samsung.

Yeah... That seems to be the phone to get if you want all the top aosp roms.

The Gnex may ultimately make it to Sprint, but it might be a looooong wait until HTC gets a contract to make a future Nexus phone:
Reasons it won't be HTC:
*HTC had the contract for the Nexus One and screwed that up.
*Samsung has done right/EXTREMELY well by Google with the Nexus S, and now the Nexus Galaxy, and is their manufacturer of choice for their Chromebook as well. *Just to make it harder for HTC, there's also Motorola to contend with, which is owned by Google, and would probably be the ones awarded the new contract if for some reason it's not Samsung.
Reason it MIGHT be HTC:
*HTC's build quality is unparalleled.
(Opinions in mirror are closer to the truth than they appear.)

The hostility of the XDA "environment" has pretty much turned everyone sour on doing any serious development. Anyone doing development gets blasted with requests for "gimme me credit" or "gimme an ETA". Not to mention that when something is developed it needs to conform to all the XDA rules or face the iron fist policy.
There are other forums where development is being done... just do a search...

[Info] Samsung Galaxy Y shipments are 1.75 M per month

Source
http://www.unwiredview.com/2012/03/30/samsung-10m-galaxy-s3s-already-preordered-shipping-1-75m-galaxy-ys-a-month-40m-smartphones-in-q1/
Yep – the sales of that underpowered, underappreciated and mostly unsubsidized Android smartphone are exploding around the emerging world. To the tune of 1.75 million devices shipped per month (which is the sales rate comparable to Galaxy S2). And it’s no surprise, when you can get Galaxy Y for something like $120 without a contract. Add to that the sales of its QWERTY brother Galaxy Y pro and other low-end Samsung Androids – and the total sales number for cheapies this quarter may be somewhere between 8 and 10 million.

Dat sales!, but it's incredible how the yPhone have that amazing sells and here we still can't get a functional cyanogenrom!

We still have some pretty awesome roms available though for the Y, even if we don't (yet) have any official or unofficial Cyanogenmod:
Creeds' ROM v2.0, v2.1 update and v2.5 which has the unique 'Swipe to remove notification' which no other custom ROM has on this phone.
And ChobitsDigitalis v1, which is the rom I'm using, and has certain Cyanogen elements to it.
There are a number of good roms available. There've been threads where people claim to be porting Cyanogenmod 7, but we're still waiting...

One peculiar problem I have seen here that most of the Developers don't have this phone. Nearly every developer starts his thread saying this statement that they don't own this phone. This makes testing difficult. Instead of the developer testing and debugging he has to rely on the users. This makes the task doubly difficult.
Whereas in S2 forums hardly any developers states that he/she doesn't own this phone hence development is very fast there.
Hmm....

You are half right. First we have to get a good custom kernel to port CyanogenMod into it. once kernel is developed 60% of work would be done
I am using Merruk_Technology Kernel overclocked to 900 MHz but it is in beta stage as wifi does not work with it

i have nothing against creed (he is a great help to all of us using Galaxy Y) but the "Swype to remove notification is not unique to him. why? there is a thread here with the walkthru on how you can do this here in XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483193
so let us also give the credits to the one who provided us the guide...
He means no other custom rom for this phone. As in unique for SGY. We all know this isn't a first. Lol.

EVO Design 4G (Boost Mobile) - May 31st - MSM8655 w/ ICS

Looks like the HTC Evo Design 4G is launching (or re-launching, depending on how you look at it) on Boost Mobile, May 31st. This phone uses our chipset / processor - MSM8655 - and will launch with ICS / Sense 3.6.
I believe this is the first phone that uses the same chipset as ours that will have ICS. I'd imagine that an update for ours would also be in tow, as that means HTC has already finished a proper ICS / Sense 3.6 rom for our chipset (albeit different screen resolution, qHD). I'm also thinking that our devs (might?) could use this to build a 3.0 kernel for our phone.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Also of note, Sprint's VP of Product said the Sprint variety of the phone will get ICS in June. http://blogs.computerworld.com/20152/sprint_android_40_htc_evo_3d_htc_evo_design_4g
So that also bodes well for us (not taking into account VZW's suckiness in deploying updates)

its possible *something* could come of their kernel source, but who knows
really we will ultimately need our own kernel source (not even our cousin inc s/dhd/desire s source) to build a functional 3.xx kernel with working radio....not that its impossible i guess, but what is actually likely
as for pulling the rom itself, it would have to be resized to scale properly (unless htc included hdpi images in all the apks (unlikely), and if we really wanted sense 3.6 i could have ported it from the sensation xl (didnt seem worth it, since we ll ultimately get our own version at some point, and sense 4 is so much better imo)
but the best take away is what you said: that its good to see htc has ics going on our chipset...which is always a positive

official miui code

https://github.com/MiCode/
The project call patchrom,we can just make a build with the cm rom or our official sense rom.
I want to hava a try but i have not learned to do it.
There are so many miui fans still using inc.
So, any developer can try this out?
Tiny? Pons?
However, thanks for your cm10.1!
Due to me having to build on a build bot, then downloading a compiled ROM taking over 2 hours on my slow internet, I don't see me trying this right yet. Or at all. I'm not too fond of MIUI; I prefer CM, obviously. Plus I glanced at some of the code and, most (all?) of the README's are "This is a place holder, please fill in real text when you add stuff." for the past 3 years. I'm not too big of a fan of undocumented ROMs, and they don't even really have a basic readme. I also didn't see a readily available inc device tree, though admittedly I didn't look too hard, so this might have to be a port, than official compiling.

[Q] Cyanogenmod on Note 10.1 (2014)?

Hello mates,
My question is if you know if the Cyanogenmod team is working or will work in one of the SM-P605 ROM.
Thank you very much!

AFAIK at the moment there is no development, nor comments on plans for it. That being said, when you look at the Samsung lineup supported historically, it ought to get support at some point.
Also worth keeping an eye out for any OmniROM support in the future, which consists of a solid team of developers, including Chainfire. It will support S3 and Note II at some point, so perhaps more Samsung stuff will be added later. Note, that OmniROM will support multiwindow.

I was waiting for the release of the new Nexus 10, but as it seems that Google has other plans I have considered purchasing a Note 10.1 2014 Edition.
The problem is that I prefer pure Android on Samsung adds layers, so my question about Cyanogenmod ROMS.
If not they hope the team OmniROM get something going.

I was also waiting for the Nexus 10, I love my Nexus 7. The s-pen and multi-window convinced me to get this tablet though. So far I am very happy and use both features all the time. They are also the two most stable and well-designed features. Rest of Samsung's gimmicks I found pointless or too unreliable. I will try OmniROM as well if/when it comes out. Still need to sort out if the s-pen stuff will work just as well with OmniROM... but that is months away, at the moment we have root and the last bugs are being ironed out for the recovery, after that comes new ROMs and kernels I hope

I'm in the same boat. The third alternative I'm considering is Sony Xperia Tablet Z, which has slightly lesser specs (though it has better looks in my opinion) but is already supported by Cyanogenmod. Considering my current Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GSM) was never fully supported by CM (i.e. no stable versions), I don't really want to buy a tablet before I'm reasonably certain CM will work well on it...

Why would you make cm a requirement? Are other roms that have been fully de bloated etc and use a modified kernel, all that jazz, are they really that bad? Especially with an s pen...I may be wrong but I suspect that s pen useability would be sacrificed with a non tw rom

Well, my priorities are "stockness", UI customization (things like battery indicator, softbuttons, lockscreen shortcuts), stability (including a low amount of bugs), and Android version upgrades. While s pen is nice, its usability is an acceptable loss for me.
As for other more customized roms... As a Linux distribution and kernel developer myself, I believe a proper release process (including a long-ish stabilization period) and QA is a must on a project as large as Android roms to achieve a good level of stability, and CyanogenMod seems to be doing quite OK in those.
(I guess this doesn't apply that much to ROMs that are just minor modifications from manufacturer versions, since the possibility of regressions is much smaller on those)
I also don't care for specific kernel modifications or performance improvements etc. that much, the question I ask myself is "Why didn't the manufacturer do it like that in the first place?" or "Why doesn't CM do it?". If there's something I want that is missing from CM, I would submit it for inclusion in CM first, in which case it either gets merged in or refused (for a good reason, I'd hope). From what I've seen their policy has been reasonable and suited to my needs so far.

Can't we do a pledge thing and hope someone would help make the note 10.1 2014 reach it into cyanogenmod? I would definitely pledge a fair amount.

If you don't care about the S-pen, why even get this tablet at all!? There are a number of other tablets that while maybe lacking OTHER features than the active pen, but generally that's the specific feature that people get ANY of the Note series for.

The reason I got it was for multi windows only, and I'm sure with cyanogenmod we could come up with a mod for multi windows. This tab also has a beastly CPU and RAM which are other reasons I got this tab. I personally don't see using the pen much at all.

Personally I wanted the super high resolution, and the Nexus 10 is now getting long in the tooth and not available with 4G or 3G (and no way I'd go Apple!)
The pen would work with Cyanogen anyway (it did on my previous Galaxy Note I), you just lose the advanced functionalities. Plain Android has support for pen input.
CM is good and I use it on my Galaxy S3. However the multiwindow features for me personally are too good to give up. I figured I wouldn't use CM unless there's a multiwindow mod for it, or something like Omnirom should come out for this. The only other S-pen feature from the air view I find useful is pen window. Everything else is just gimmicks it feels like.
However I would really like a knox 0x0 root method first for the P600 version...sad to say it might not even happen at this point
really want it
Currently No Cyanogenmod rom has supported Multi window, So your probably out of luck OP you will lose Spen and multi window with cyanogen multiwindow is part of the touchwiz framework if I remember Correctly

As I just bought a Note 10.1 2014 Edition, I am interested to find a Mod that supports multi window and s-pen, can anyone point me in a direction? apart from having installed CM on my devices and the devices of some friends I have no idea about the mod world.

You people make no sense. Why spend $600 on the most advanced tablet on the market only to attempt to install a ROM that will wipe out all of its selling features to then try and spend several hours finding a way to get those features back? I enjoy CM on my S3 as much as the next guy, but on this tablet it just makes no sense! Wait for Google to refresh the nexus 10 if you need stock Android that badly.
@¿Will-it-Blend?
Many reasons, Ill list some of the important ones:
1. I like samsung (Im a shareholder)
2. The tab in itself is good, so when I can chose to have a good tab with no extra features or a ****ty tab with no extra features I chose the good one.
3. Should any of the modders ever be capable of implementing the extra gadgets I already have a tab that can handle them, if not I have a good tab that can do the same as the ****ty tab but with more style
I hope this answered your question to your satisfaction, sadly you didnt even try to answer mine. Im still interested if anyone knows of any mods out there that support the extra features and are as stable and clean as CM? Or any mod for that tab, as at this moment my tab is laying around unused since there is no CM version for it.

I didn't answer your question because there are none . Ommi ROM has a multi-window feature but I highly doubt they will support this device. It will be some time before CM even supports this device. I feel sorry for you that you feel the need to cripple your device but it will still be a good while before you even see CM and it incorporates the features the stock ROM offers and for it to be just as stable as well. And that's if AOSP ROMS incorporate these features at all.
About the multiwindow on CM thing, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there's an xposed module that lets you use a feature similar to multiwindow.

If the source code isn't released we can't do anything. So it's probably not even the dev's fault as much as it is Google's.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news...
Ports assume the two devices (the base device, and the one to port to) are very similar (same chipset, et cetera). A good example (I used to use HTC) is the Sensation was a very good base for the MyTouch 4G Slide (they even shared the same battery design/size).
Unfortunately the Zenfone 2 and either of the new Nexus devices are worlds apart from each other. They don't share the same architecture, let alone chipset. We would be better off piggybacking off the work of the ASUS Fonepad 7 FE375CG (Z3560 Chipset) or the Asus Memo Pad 8 ME581CL (Z3580) - but in reality, in terms of updates - it's more likely we would be the base for those devices in a few months time.
Sorry.

AOSP is available, but now we have to wait to have CM13 in a manageable state. I don't imagine cpalmer and jrior001 will put on the brakes with CM12.1 to build straight from AOSP.
ROMe wasn't built in a day, and it will be months before CyanogenMod will be able to have the AOSP source modified for the new CM13 and reach the coveted milestone one.

Why am I being thrown under the bus? :silly:
In all seriousness, if CarbonROM continues to base their stuff off of CM (which I heard talk of that changing), this time around they may be once again months behind CM in terms of an official product (e.g, none of their devices have hit official status yet this round, or at least as of last night).
Not to speak ill of course, which is why I am curious of the route that does not involve basing off of CyanogenMod.
No guarantees with my involvement to 6.0, but I am interested in the job. I just can't predict what my life demands are going to be like in the spring (time seems tight right now, but I manage).
My short and medium term plans is to keep the 5.1 builds going, hopefully even after Carbon calls it quits for this branch to focus on the new one. The only possible things stopping me are:
Carbon leaves lp5.1.1 branch perfect, meaning I don't even have to do monthlies anymore (also means no future security issues)
CyanogenMod breaks their sources badly (has happened recently when Carbon couldn't keep up)
I get the official stock 6.0 image which ends up breaking modem usage - leaving me unable to properly downgrade to 5.1 to test
It feels like with this plan, someone is going to beat me to the punch by building a CarbonROM mm-6.0 ahead of me. Which is why at some point, I will (probably) be doing builds in parallel. But we shall see when we get there.
Just read this: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/android-6-0-marshmallow-thoroughly-reviewed/
Doesn't seem much for us CM12.1 users to get very excited about anyway. Material design not changed from Lollipop, Google Now launcher already updated with the changes, selectable app permissions already included in CM12.1 via Privacy Guard, fingerprint api and 4K display stuff irrelevant to our zenfones...
Personally, I think a stable CM12.1 (5.1.1) build is more important. In fact, the unofficial build we already have is stable and very nearly there, but I would rather see the last few kinks ironed out and official status before any time is put into 6.0
Most importantly, it should support 64bit for the z00a. Any news on this?
