Develop Bugs

Who Are the Current Developers Working on This Phone?

I'm curious to see which are working in our phone. Sometimes I just feel that no one is developing for our phone.

We got new roms this week. Shut up

Its a valid question. And just how new are the elements of these roms?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Really? Experience them for yourself to find out. There are definitely some new roms.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Not trying to be negative but new roms does not equal development. 90% of what we have is MODDED roms. Very few actual roms that are DEVELOPED. We have lots of modders, one or two developers.

At last someone understands me!

I dont think you people understand. Theres a developer who starts from scratch on a stock pure rom. As a base. Not someones deodexed or debloated rom. A stock non root. Then they work on rooting the rom. And then deodexed the rom. Then they debloat (optional). Then add their apks. And then add theming. Honestly the devs here use other peoples base rom and just theme it nd tweak it a lil bit. To be honest the only developer that stands out is romanbb and whitehawx. They made juggernaut 4.1 as said in the description from scratch. They didnt kang anything or use someone elses work. They are true devs. The others are themers and tweakers and such. Now i love their work.. Honestly i love them too they make my phone that much better. Im just trying to clarify what it means to be a dev

Do u see the 13 toggles? They had to code everything for it to work on our device. You know how long that takes?! Like i said they used a SAMSUNG PURE NON ROOT ROM! Others use other devs deodexed roms or debloated roms. They do everything themselves it
clemsonboyz said:
So, whitehawx and romann didn't simply tweak stock Samsung twiz? How could those two build from scratch? All there has been are Samsung stock twiz so far. They cry abt Kang, but don't they Kang themselves?

Why does every thread turn into an argument? And if you think you have the right to complain about a devs ROM, then put out something of your own that's better. If you can't, well then anyone who can even kang a ROM is lightyears ahead of you so don't complain.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SII White Edition

What difference does it make whether they're kang'ed or not?
The developers we have working on this phone have stepped up and released some very decent kernels and roms and they've worked hard to do so. I don't expect a developer to build CM7 or 9 from scratch, but I've used DARKSIDE's CM7 Hybrid for a while and it's incredible. Other developers (TricH, faux123, Team Kang) have all released some great stuff as well.
We've had a slow start getting this phone off the ground and I think it's due to the attitude some people have that we're owed something by simply owning this phone and having the ability to flash roms. Let's show the developers we have a little gratitude and patience and development for this phone will continue to take off as it has over the past few weeks.

If yall want to view it that way, everyone is using samsung's ROM as a base ROM and modifying it. If any of you have tried to develop than you would know that even minor variations from a "stock" takes time and effort. All developers start somewhere and the hope is for them to contribute to the community and learn and get better. My solution to people who are complaining about real vs "fake" developing is this:
I came from the i9100 forums and they had two sections for Android development-original and the normal Android development. The original Android development are for developers who build everything from scratch from source. The regular development is for everything else.
Like I said we don't want to discourage development because you never know which dev will grow up to be the next great!
Everyone kanged samsung's ROM hahaha...

We make ROM they make kernels

Anyone else find it funny that t989 devs have twice as many ROMs and the skyrocket has like 4 custom kernels

That's because devs like jovy, Rushing and pmt3r pump out the same ROM with 17 thousand different themes. Then we have 5 other guys compiling the same damn cm10 or aokp ROM from source.. In reality we have a small amount of ROMs that are actually built from the ground up. Then our guys take that base and do what they want to it. They have skyICS which to them is their go to touchwiz ROM (and honestly skyICS is better than all of our TW roms combined.) just like Darkside Evolution was ours. Then we have thelastsidekick making another thousand roms instead of just working on one and making it the best it can be. IMO our dev section is cluttered with a bunch of unneeded crap. I'd rather have a few more devs that know enough to cook some kernels instead of devs that just copy and paste what they want to an already existing base.

I bought this phone in March ,the best ROM at the time was Juggernaut and Darkside digital warfare. I say things have VASTLY improved. I appreciate anybody that puts in work and hooks it up for free. It would be nice to have more top notch devs on our forum.

Either way they're all interchangeable, basically could all be in one forum

I love how you're quick to place blame in everyone else but what have you attempted? If its such a huge problem and there's a lack of development work going on, why don't you go ahead and create your own ROM from the ground up or better yet, create us a custom kernel. Until you can do either of these things, where do you even stand? This is not an insult or because I even take offense to it. I say this because people like jovy actually put time into their ROMs.

I'm just holding out for the new Nexus so I can move on out to a different phone. The Dev forum is a mess here. There's even ROM threads without ROMs in them. It's like a DMZ free for all.

Don't get offended. It's the truth. Go look at the dev section. Its a mess. Half of you guys don't even post your githubs, sources, or code. So.. you're basically taking bases and kanging them to death. Making the same ROM 10 times . Which I have no problem with. Its open source that's the point. But.. Keep it organized! Work on one project at a time and atleast finish it. You have dumped at least 2 ROMs yourself to start on others. This leaves the dev section a huge mess and easier for newcomers to flash something they shouldn't and risk a brick. Look at the general section. Brick threads galore. And honestly I don't need to contribute by making a ROM or anything of that sort. I contribute by donating like any good flasher should and trying to help others with issues I've had myself. If the garbage was thrown out and the dev section cleaned up we would have less than 7 active threads. Rushing making a new thread for an already made ROM just because it has a different theme? Insanity.

Correct me if I'm wrong.. Aren't Cyanogenmod and TW just customized ports from the originals as well? The only roms built from the ground up are the ones that come from Google, samsung, etc. Not being a **** just clarifying not sure if im right

Yes and no. Cyanogenmod is built from the ground up using their own source code that sticks closely to the AOSP source code. As far as Touchwiz goes, it's built from the ground up by Samsung. It's the reason why Wi-Fi calling isn't available on AOSP or AOKP.
Now as far kernels, Samsung has released 4.0.4 source but the only devs I know that have built their own kernel FROM THE GROUND UP are Eugene373s streamline and TDJ venom kernels. As far as other kernels, they all include mods and changes that they have made to the original Samsung kernel. In other words, modding instead of building from scratch.
Like I said, I don't have an issue with this. If I had the time to learn how to dev and cook up my own idea on what a ROM should look like and perform I totally would. But some of us lead different lives and some things just aren't possible. That's why I donate. I feel like a scumbag using something someone made for free that's better than what I actually paid for. But that's just me.
All I'm saying is.. dev section is a mess. Lol mods, let's clean it up and get rid of discontinued ROMs. As a dev if you have different theme ideas and want to post them for your ROM? Put it in its rightful forum. There's a reason the THEMES and apps forum exists. If we already have a certain official ROM unofficially compiled from source, let's agree on one thread instead of having 5 people compile the same ROM. Don't make 10 threads with the same rom and a different theme.
Voiddweller was right. It's a bit out of control. We got too many brick threads and too many people cluttering up threads with questions that have pre-existing answers obtained with a simple search.
Just sayen' fellas. I still visit the NS4G forums, I gave it to my gf and got this. I love that forum. This one? Not so much. When we get devs leaving (TDJ wasn't the first) that says something. You guys wanna see 4.2 on this phone? Fix the forum.

New Rom Ideas

I have been battling back and forth between touchwiz roms and AOSP roms. . So if any developers are looking for a new rom to make, here is my idea (yes, i know it is not a new idea and has been done on many devices). What i would like to have is the stabilty and battery life of a UVDLJA rom including touchwiz launcher, with AOSP lockscreen, inverted AOSP contacts and messenger.I don't know if its possible, but could there be options for this using aroma in the touchwiz roms?

Something I saw while working in the s2 board with my wife's phone was a rom with a touchwhiz base and the aokp rom control features added, I personally would love something like that
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

TL;DR... I agree on the new rom idea lol. And I *****ed and moaned about the roms we have all in relativity are too damn close to each other. But I still respect their hard work, and praise them all as they are doing things I wish I could do.
I wish I had the knowledge and computer strong enough to do this kinda work, I would've had the rom up and running so long ago lol... I used my phone to get most of it working. building sounds and apps into a rom little things here and there just started to break I gave up.
This would be my ultimate DD never have to flash a rom again. I absolutely despise the "nature" that Samsung built in to this phone.
We have about 3 sounds mods everyone focuses on, some cameras and Keyboards people build into the rom, some awesome themes I'm extremely happy with. I would really like a TW rom with all AOSP sounds instead of the water drops and stuff. Camera from TW, LockScreen from AOSP, Notification and Status bar options from AOKP, 4.2 little things here and there as options.
Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate what our guys do in the Dev section.
I miss the devs that worked on those kinda things. We have great guys here (I might get [email protected] for this one) but in general they all seem to be adding the same things; Acid, Beats, Walkman music, removing other Samsung Apps while others keep them. They all leave bloat like LTETest, and LTEsettings in the /system/app folder. I could keep going and going. Know I mean no disrespect and I do appreciate them again. But where are the old roms like we used to get (mentioned above) we had some great stuff in the G2X also. We had roms that had custom lockscreens to launchers and all sorts of neat things I would've never expected. Maybe it's time I stop helping the stupids and save up and get a new computer with the power to build roms as well. (I won't release them to people though lol)

i know the exactly what you guys need
here's a preview (the MyTouch 4G Version):
of course, instead of "Senseless" it would be "TouchWizLess"

give me a couple weeks to really get to know this phone (and find time...high school life w00t) and i'll see what i can do

I am in the process of developing a ROM. Nothing solid yet. I really do agree with keeping the stability and features of stock with some aosp features. At least for me I'll be a start with dev work. I have a Mac so I've already downloaded xcode and working and following dxsidia as guide. It'll take me a while since I work 10 hour shifts at the hospital and also do some website dev on the side.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I'm glad to see people wanting to work on this. I believe it will make a great DD. It seems I'm one of the few that really like the touchwiz launcher and Widgets, but I ask you to please include that in the rom. People can easily download the other launchers from the market.

I agree, anything that is downloadable from the market should stay there. It's great that you can include something in a rom, but so can simply pressing the install button. Any thing that is already a flashable .zip (like beats) or (acId sounds mod) should stay as a flashable .zip. Just my opinion.

In the ATT galaxy S3 forums, there is a rom called nexusmod reloaded that is close to what I am referring to. Its based on ics and I don't think it has inverted apps that we like.

Damn... I am 41 years old and I love electronic toys. You are making me feel very old. Well young'n, when you get a rom together let me know. I have tested for a couple of devs and understand how to run a logcat. I did a little theme work on the musty trusty HD2. I know a little bit, but run a family business plus I'm back at night school taking care of some unfinished business but I am happy to help.

dude, you totally can.
easiest way, though, would be to disable your lockscreen and try out widget locker or something like that.
as far as the inverted apps go, i would hit up some of the guys in the themes and apps section. wouldn't take very long to whip something like that up... hell, even the lockscreen wouldn't take very long to modify.
why CM chooses to build from the source of another device is beyond me. it would be much easier to customize the layout/UI, parameters, and make it functional with the firmware meant for this thing, and you would keep all the functionality of TW.
anyways, yeah.

There is this great divide feeling as I've been playing with my new S3, and it really brings homage to the Linux scene (compare: xfce vs kde vs gnome, etc.).
Though I've settled on TouchWiz for now, there are some things I wish were an option and not "just the way it is".

I finally got kitchen working on my Mac. Got a base up and will hopefully be able to post it later. This is my plan since we be seen this throughout. People want stability of stock and those who love tw features will love this. I will be implementing aroma installer later when I get that injected. I've only built a ROM before for myself but never posted it. It'll be theme free and since it'll be stock most stock themes should work. I basically want people to do the work on their own. If they want to add volume mods like beats , they should flash it on their own . This is an experiment to get my foot out there and I'd love the support. Any name suggestions. ??

I think a lot of pressure was for us to get jelly bean. We got it and things calmed down. We still have development. But, this device just isn't in enough hands. When CM get finished that should give us a pretty stable foundation for other popular AOSP roms. So, at this point that seems to be what is the most important milestone. I don't know how that is progressing though.

I'm really glad the first response wasn't a "hey stop asking, flame flame flame."
But yeah, I feel the same. The camera and other fixes in CM will make it stable and people will build on top of that. Why bother making new ROMs if your old ones are good and why build on CM if the camera (a pretty popular use of smartphones nowadays) isn't working?

I think I've been around here long enough to warrant asking a question like that. I've done my fair amount of contribution. Kc thanks for the answer. Megamaster, I agree, although I love aosp it would be nice to see a highly optimized, highly stable, and heavily themed LG based ROM too. For some people it's just their cup of tea.

What's needed most is themes. Good, full themes. I would kill to see somebody port Myn's Warm over to the LGOG. I'm sure somebody would like to see a TW or the new Moto look as well. Nobody has even bothered to mod any of the theme apks that come built in to the LG software. It may not be CM theme manager level of awesome but our phones does have a theme manager built in.
Except for base ROMs like AOSP/CM there really isn't a reason for new ROMs. To be honest, Imperium Initiative isn't even a ROM, I simply released it as one because I was feeling lazy and didn't want to write the script for it. If I had, it only would have been around a 50-60MB DL.

Definitely planning on that. I ported it to my epic and once I get sense working, I will go for it.

I'm content with what we have for the moment. And I've been poking around with some files myself trying to get features we should have (QSlide apps) working and other things of interest.

What languages/scripts and what do you guys make/bake and mod/theme Roms with and in? I know just some of the stepping stones, but have lots of time to learn. With a bit of self study I don't see myself being able to make roms, but surely theming/modding.

can anybody port iOS? Totally kidding.
I'm looking forward to what is coming, but at the same time, we do have some very good, stable ROMs. Something that can be said for our device that cannot be said for many others is that all of our ROMs that are not in testing are stable. Quality before quantity and all that. I was looking through the GS3 forums for a friend yesterday and they have so many options you simply could not possibly know what is good and what is not without reading pages upon pages of posts. It was awful!
Anyway, I think it's a valid question but from my POV I'm pretty happy with where we are at.

Plus, the roms we have are their own build your own rom kits. The possibilities are pretty endless.

Even if someone could get it fully working, they couldn't release it because Apple would sue their ass.

great work by the devs we have so far. My phone is 100x better than it would have been at stock. Im a lurker but definitely appreciate the efforts of all. Thanks

Apple wouldn't have a leg to stand on if they hadn't patented that extremely unique rectangular shape

I definitely would like to see our theme manager utilized. Even if we had an inverted stock theme. All the menus are so damn bright, wouldn't mind seeing a dark theme. Maybe a blue theme... I just think for a device of this caliber we should have more.

Ahhh yes!! Myn's roms were the most beautiful and elegant I've ever used. I had the OG Evo and the Evo 3D and his work was always top notch. Donated to him more than anyone else. I would love to see his work on the Optimus G.

SGH-T889 UVBMB4 4.1.2 What is the best roms that work with this phone?

I currently am running Frosty Bean and it is a fine rom. I would like to try others to compare but run into Google login, apn issues etc.
I've done all the wipe dalvik, system cache, etc.. but haven't been able to get any others to settle in and run.
This isnt my first rodeo I've flashed my Lg g2x tons of times. I see the modems vary here by models.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx XDA

Try Tweaked I use to flash Roms every day and sometimes few times a day when I first brought my phone back in November, but since I found Tweaked I don't have the need to go anywhere else. Is a wonderfull Rom and wonderful dev.

A third on Tweaked 2.3 rom.
two things that got me into tweaked away from jedi series roms
*you can hide that stupid blocking icon when you turn on blocking mode
*WORKING group text messaging!!!!!!!!!
it has all the pluses of Jedi Master 14 and more customization ohh yeah working wifi calling tooo:good::good::good::good::good::good:

Tweaked FTW!! Definitely worth a peak.
sgh-TWEAKED-889©

one other thing i might add to why i like tweaked over Jedi, low battery notification disable. this is especially usefull when you have a 9300mah ZeroLemon battery, where you can stay at 5% for 8 hours..that beep and nag starting at 15% can lasts for hours on end!!

Yes, go tweaked. The dev is an actual Dev, not just someone who dumps a bunch of random mods on the rom. He actually knows what he is doing. Try it out!

Hey guys, Tweaked is the truth abs by far the best ROM for our phones, but be careful. Some especially this last post are coming off pretty disrespectful to our devs. pmtr3 does some amazing work and a lot of original work. Just don't want this to stay making devs want to quit supporting a community because they feel like it's disrespectful.
By the way xamindar, give it a shot just "dumping random mods" and let me know how stable that turns out. A lot of work goes into even the "basic" ROMs.

If i sounded like i was being disrespectful, I apologize. No way did i mean it to come off that way. I appreciate what YOU Developers do for us. I know i cant do what you guys do. Jedi/pmtr3 roms and kernals are great thats why i use it as a reference standard to compare to.
I should have chose my words better since i didnt think that it would offend someone else. sorry

Tweaked is the business. The dev is super mature, very amazing attitude and personality and his work matches these qualities, bar none. It's also a joy to see a community very, very active. It means that this ROM gets a lot of dialogue in its thread, which leads to great ideas, trials, progress and advancement. I came from another ROM that just went stale. No dialogue. And I've tried other ROMs on XDA which are pretty ingenious and brilliant, but the smoothness of Tweaked, the vision it projects and employs and support it has is amazing. And nothing ever feels broken. More and more conversations are about progression than fixing something that's legitimately broken in the ROM. The Dev is also extremely approachable....if you have ideas, just Private Message (the preferred method) the Dev and you'll see how engaging he becomes. Very, very professional feel to this community. Check it out.

You didn't offend me and I'm no Dev. I'm just trying to learn. My comment was more directed at the other guy who came off very disrespectful (whether meant or not). I don't want people like pmtr3 or the other real devs to get offended. I mean tweaked is the best, but you can never have to many options.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

To me, Tweaked is the best fit for my tastes. It's rock solid, and like others have already said here, Dwitherell is amazing and his OCD leads to a very polished final product for us to enjoy. the degree of customization you have is
Unparalleled. Not only options you set when you flash, but also through TSM parts. The initial Lure for me was the ability to hide that damn annoying persistent notification for Smart stay and blocking mode... Etc.
I could go on and on... But really... Flashing is easy and fun... I recommend trying as many as you want and decide for yourself.
Plus... Tweaked had something no other ROM does.... ALEXIA!

Well said. Jedi ROMS are awesome as well. Ptmr3 is one hell of a nice guy as well. I'm grateful for all of our devs here, but those two gentlemen are awesome dudes.

WHAO dude. No need to get offended as I was not directing that towards anyone. I don't think it is very nice of you to throw out other devs names as of trying to defend them for something that wasn't meant towards them either. This can make them look bad.
And your second paragraph is what I am talking about. People who throw random mods together and call it a new rom usually end up creating something very unstable. Point is, tweaked is NOT this.

Again, I'm not offended I just didn't want it to go there of insulting the hard work or devs do. I may have took your quote wrong as saying that's what the other devs do. So I was just thinking of the biggest ROM and dev we had and said that's not what he does. So for the misunderstanding I'm sorry.
All our devs do great work, but I do agree dwitherell is on another level! He originates mods and has been since the DROID charge!
