Hey guys, the source code for Android 2.3 is out. Even tough a lot of people say support isn't quiet well with lower end device but I believe is possible to port that is because Gingerbread does not make change to the system core but more like a feature update so I believe the hardware requirement won't change. Would be nice if any developers know how to port Android to try port this version. Sorry, unfortunately I don't know anything about porting Android but I will try help if I can. Btw u could check out the source here http://source.android.com/
Thanks in advanced
I'm sure if it can be done it will be, it might even be in the oven being baked! All of us are waiting and you are more than welcome to join us! This project is highly dependent on our support, regardless of how little.
@devs
Keep up the great work guys!
n-Joie!
Gingerbread is already in building, stinebd on his blog showed some pictures
Thanks guys for the support. Looking forward to stinebd's new release. I would try help out as well. And I hope the support for Raphael will continue to grow, that's what keeping me using the raphael for all these years.
Thanks,
You may try out Gingerbread-Alpha from here:

WAAAAAAY too many FCs to call it anything less than stable. Just an FYI... Nice to look at though... Glad someone else grabbed the black theme with transparent notification bar. Looks promising though...
Done!!! Alpha 2 released
I badly want to help get CM9 working, or at least learn from trying, on the T-Mobile variant of the GS3. I'm a pretty decent hacker, but I know I don't have enough / any experience with the Android OS / Kernel development to work on the GSM/LTE portions of the ROM. However, I feel that if someone could help me and anyone else interested to get the toolchain setup and source properly downloaded, we could help with the easier portions of the ROM and learn a little about the complex portions of the ROM just by watching what the more experienced devs are doing.
Right now, it seems like ...maybe.. a few people are working on their own rather than a collaborative effort (except the Sprint variant that has Team Epic working on a ROM). I don't want to slow progress by taking up a bunch of valuable dev time, but if one person could just help get some of the less experienced people off the ground, we could probably accelerate this effort...
In the meantime, would you guys mind posting some links to the best resources you have found for getting started building CM or even building Android in general? It doesn't really matter if it's a guide for a different device. I have searched but there is so much information missing in sources I have found.
Thank You,
KevlarTheGreat
Count one more.
I would love to get involved. I have a good amount of Linux and C experience (7+ years), but need a good place to start with Android ROM development (specifically for the GS3).

M'ladies and gents, couldeth you count a third member of this exquisite inquiry.
Team Epic is sorting it out, just be patient:good:

That is if it truly works on all carriers phones without trouble.

From what I understand, they are sorting it out for Sprint but T-Mobile is much different because it's GSM. Here is their reply to me when I asked if there would be CWM install scripts that would support both T-Mobile and Sprint from the same ROM:

No, there will not be ROM's that work on all variants. CDMA and GSM are quite different.
The tools like CWM will work on all variants (if made properly) because they don't use the radios.

I'm a bit surprised at this answer because I'm coming from the HD2 where tytung has two different versions of the kernel in his amazing CM9 ROM. It chooses which one to install automatically based on which radio support you have PPP vs RMNET.
Hi! I recently found, that there's only - AT&T E970, E971 and E973 marked as "geeb" without our international ( ! ) E975 supported (geehrc). I'm looking for people who want to have official SlimRoms on our E975. So i decided to make a request on official SlimRom's forum. Our idea isn't "first thing to do" for developers, so I need a lot of you guys . I think this wouldn't be a big problem, because we already can run on our E975 rom from E973 with a few "modifications". But as you know official support is always better Anyone's interested? And what do you think? Please, let me know.
P. S. - Sorry for my english, it's not my national language...
I dont see how it's worth the fuss. No doubt slimrom is the best, but we can get a simulated official rom fairly easy.
It is worth because it's only "simulated" as you said. Our phone don't have a lot of custom rom support. So we have to look for every possibility of it. As I previously said it isn't hard to do for us and especially for devs. All they need to do is only to modify existing E973 rom to work on E975 and add a right couple of lines to their website.
Dude we had so many roms if you include gee, geeb roms too. If its just a few lines why don't you make it happen?
Because, it isn't official. I know... We can run this rom on our E975. But it isn't strange that E973 have support and E975 no?
Just be happy and respect what we have.

Gee roms are not real roms. Also thats a pretty conformistic attitude, I'm sorry but he can ask if he feels like it.
Official vs unofficial is like saying your not happy getting 99% in a test. Slim has been my favourite rom for years, but I also like running a new rom every few weeks, if we get an e975 rom maintainer it would most likely be at the expense of another new rom. So my statement about being happy and respecting what we have is far from conformist, its just a simple matter of give and take, especially considering we have so few true developers in the LGOG community ( many have moved on...curse you N5, bacon and HTC one). Oh and in my opinion gee roms are real, are getting more real thanks to stock camera thingy and will become even more real once loller and psychogame finish new kernel. Then Kev and fjsferreira are doing wonders with L, its exciting times and I feel thrilled to have an LGOG despite no official slimrom.
I'm really respectful to devs and happy with my unofficial version. But if I wouldn't post to the slimrom forum, they wouldn't even know about E975 and possiblity of supporting it. Why? Because they are working hard in android development, they have their own families, home and work. So they can simply forget or skip it. It's just a reminder for them. That someone is waiting for it. That's all
Would Cyanogen Mod be interested in developing for this phone now that we have unlocked bootloader? Given the choice, I'd love Paranoid Android, but I went hold my breath.
CM is already in development . https://github.com/CM-zenfone2
BrokenROM https://github.com/BrokenROM/device_asus_moorefield
Seems that are only for ZE551ML I hope that will be compatible with ZE550ML
If someone can get pure AOSP or CM working, the ROMs will flow out like water... once a base is established building many ROMs is easy. If we get CM, then look for ROMs like Beanstalk, BlissPop, Carbon, , etc. to follow closely behind. Patience, it will happen...

Yay! I really hope Paranoid Android follows suit. I LOVE Pa's Halo feature.
custom roms will help this phone.zenny 2 has one of the worst stock firmware optimization ever and seems like asus cant fix the problems.
Be patient guys, I just sent a couple developers phones this week.

Good to see Asus is showing commitment to this phone. Also great to see you guys are embracing the aftermarket ROM community. More vendors need to be supportive like this.
We love the enthusiast community - you guys are the ones that like to tinker and have contributed to our growth over the years when we were just a motherboard vendor. I bet many of you still have fond memories of building PCs with our components before tinkering with phones .

Awesome! Is there/will there be collaboration with the developers regarding the kernel and device tree from ASUS as well? That would be key to have a fully-working custom ROM in the nearer future (versus the developers having to learn from scratch and sort of fend for themselves, kludging their way along and delaying the end goal).
So exciting!
We post our kernel source, but that's all we can offer, unfortunately. Our software development is done at our Taiwan HQ. But if any devs need anything, just send me a PM and I'll ask our software team.

This makes not much sense to me honestly. Why locking a bootloader in the first place and then stating to push development hard by providing test phones to specified devs?
But still I want to thank you for your commitment in making this phone a huge success - we'll kick Galaxy and Xperia and the likes out once done
Good thing to see Asus sharing to make custom ROMs efficient.
Already on Harfainx's ROM, can't wait to see things going even further.

This is my push from Technical Marketing for North America due to needs and wants for the US market. I place great emphasis on the community that has made many of the previous phones I've owned so great. I want that for the ZF2.
I'll probably start development for this phone once i get it. Never worked with an x86 android device before but it sounds like a fun challenge

Hi,
I've got some sort of situation here concerning building the kernel for ZF2 on my own. I downloaded the kernel source from ASUS website and followed the instructions one by one (download the android source code, use the appropriate toolchain, issue the kernel build command using fhd_defconfig, etc.
The phone boots and works good, BUT:
The phone never gets to deep sleep mode because of hsic_s3_wlock (kernel wakelock from USB HSIC). Could you please ask someone from the technical department to check what is causing this or if any config entry is missing? I am really starting to doubt that this is something I can influence at all
Hi, HAM devs!
You propably don't know me yet, as i am new to the HAM. I already built CM7, 10 and 11 on LG devices though, so i am not totally new to android development/building.
Well.. i just got this Ascend Mate, and thought it would be nice to have a custom rom on it, like i had on other devices.
But all i can find is closed source flashables. Seems like joe.stone is the only one who shared atleast something.
Don't you guys think we could achieve more, if we work together?
I really want to work on custom stuff for our HAM, but it would be easier if i don't have to start from scratch, while a bunch of people COULD share their experiences with me.
So please contact me, if you can provide some useful informations on how to build for the HAM. - Let's do something!

Dont hold your breath mate, in my opinion This is one of the worst forums on xda !
Well, maybe i just start instead of flaming.
Here we go: https://github.com/hwmt1-u06
If anybody is interested in participating to this, just let me know.
I think the main reason for that is that most of the stuff here was developed in Russia or China and those of us here just basically searched online and found ROMs and posted links here.
Joe Stone was the main Dev here and he's moved on. Gold Concert did some good work here too and moved on. Outside of these guys I think the rest of people in the group are like me. We know a little about developing but we're not Devs so as a result the forum has pretty much died.
I would welcome your developing skills here right now:beer:

yeah, i kinda figured that out already, my first post was a little bit fast maybe.
well, let's see what i can do... so far i can boot, but sound and reboots arent working well (maybe more).
currently trying to contact mrAlmid, and looking into his roms for a hint to the right direction.
Just a thought. Since huawei mate and huawei p6 are essentially same hardware (same motherboard, same cpu/gpu) with main difference in display, maybe some of the sources for p6 will come in handy?

alright, i got my first pretty-much-useable build done, so let the bug-hunting begin...

Once a Finnish developer tried porting sailfish to the P6, he (or someone he forked from) had managed to collect almost all the sources for the P6. You can try tinkering around, if you have time, you could figure out how to build the needed libraries for the graphics stack from source (all the other devs jumped the boat already), if you succeed then we may have a chance of compiling a working Lollipop rom. For the mate, dont forget to change the touchscreen drivers as it differs on the P6 and the Mate. Heres the repo: https://github.com/locusf/cm11-p6

a working lollipop rom? i dont feel like beeing THAT professional, to be honest. but i will check if i can use something for more stability on kk. thanks for the information, though! maybe i can find something to fix "reboot to recovery"-freeze
I got my current rom (carbon rom 4.4.4) from this website:
http://mateone4you.blogspot.nl/2015/04/carbon-rom-444-for-huawei-ascend-mate.html
He has a few more too.
Edit: I guess you know, reading your CM thread, but some may not....
Would welcome some more development, especially bluetooth connecting to audio is horrible...
I tried his other roms too, only got carbon working nicely.

yeah, that's Alex Midnight (mrAlmid), i used some huawei binaries off his roms already.
i will see what i can do about bluetooth a2dp, dont have to much hope though, that a2dp stuff was a hell on LG's p990 already.
