what will happen after arco's leave us ? - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

what will happen after arco's buy a new phone are any one will continue his work or his project will close !!

I think Arco will continue the development for this phone (even though it could be just an hobby). Or maybe someone can took his github tree and continue the development he left. Even though he will be with us more 2 months so let's wait to see what happens.
Also, I hardly believe that will be another version of android for this phone after android 4.2.2. As arco said in one of the threads present on this forum due to hardware limitations that would be kinda difficult. So, mostly probably what this phone can wait s bug fixes from Arco and anyone who wants to contribute for this phone. In fact, that's what opensource is all about.

ICS Source is OUT ! (Ice Cream Sandwitch) Android 4.0.1

Hi All,
Below a message from google about releasing ICS Time to DEV !
Greatings
Antonius
https://groups.google.com/group/android-building/msg/c0e01b4619a1455a
Hi! We just released a bit of code we thought this group might be interested in.
Over at our Android Open-Source Project git servers, the source code
for Android version 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is now available.
Here's how to get it:Follow the instructions at
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
Check out the
'ics-release' branch:repo init -u
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.0.1_r1
That's it! However since this is a large push, please be aware that it
will take some time to complete. If you sync before it's done, you'll
get an incomplete copy that you won't be able to use, so please wait
for us to give the all-clear before you sync.
This is actually the source code for version 4.0.1 of Android, which
is the specific version that will ship on the Galaxy Nexus, the first
Android 4.0 device. In the source tree, you will find a device build
target named "full_maguro" that you can use to build a system image
for Galaxy Nexus. Build configurations for other devices will come
later.
Unfortunately we still don't have our Gerrit code review servers back
online. That remains our top priority though, and we hope to have them
back soon.
This release includes the full history of the Android source code
tree, which naturally includes all the source code for the Honeycomb
releases. However, since Honeycomb was a little incomplete, we want
everyone to focus on Ice Cream Sandwich. So, we haven't created any
tags that correspond to the Honeycomb releases (even though the
changes are present in the history.)

Yessssssss
now let the games begin!!
Good news! Hopefully the devs can do something magic!
What does this actually mean for us DHD users? is it simply a matter of putting 2 and 2 together, and bam we have a rom? or will it take a few weeks, and be extremely difficult because I notice everyone saying this is only for the Galaxy Nexus, so it is pretty much like porting I guess?

Really? I hardly believe that.
Having the source code is very important, not everything. Release source code is for Galaxy Nexus, a different device. We need a working kernel and support for our hardware. Real devs are probably working on that now. The real work begins from here, and I hardly believe we will have something functional until CM9 starts having night builds... 1-2 months from now
Maybe we get the first nightly as a christmas gift.

I think you need to read the post again this is the Source code it is a build up for gingerbread as i saw the code this night it was released the drivers and support are gonna be build very easaly but still it can take up to 1 a 2 weeks before release (Altrough i think some devs will release today for other devs to work on it) Also we need to keep in mind that there will be bugs in the system (Its still a child )

This still needs porting, new kernel building, etc. I think a couple of months for alpha/nightly builds for DHD sounds about right.

any devs into GLIDE CM 10???

the long waited tegra 2 ics is now available so means the drivers to put HWA into function is available too...is it mean that a full working CM10 (or jellybean) rom will be developed soon seems all the crucial drivers are available now...
but 1 thing i found that there are less strong or experienced developers are using the glide as their phone and cause us have less power custom roms and kernels...
maybe we need to promote our phone to those optimus 2x and galaxy r developers...they have strong devs there...cause the devs were using those phone which is much popular and familiar than the glide, but they have lower hardware spec, no keyboard and with 512 only ram...and the devs did a good job on optimized them...
i believe our phone will be freaking STRONG if there are numbers of devs willing to optimized it...

Yes but people are usually interested in the hardware they have purchased. So how do you get someone who does not have the hardware interested in helping us out? Please recall even DMan had someone lone him a phone for him to help out. The glide is a great phone but unfortunately has not sold as much, as other popular phones.

We have dman workng on a rom as we speak... this should of been posted in the general section to btw
I suspect he is but has dman said he is working on a new ROM? I'm curious if he is making his own ROM or porting CM. I think Inception was just a stripped down official version of 2.3.5. I would love to see a CM 10 port and not just a repacked stripped ROM.
Oh my gosh with all the discussions about this. BE PATIENT. You all have no idea how much time it takes. Take a look at Inception. It took 1 week just to theme. If you want a stable, JB rom for bounty, the Collective doesn't release half ass working JB builds. Take a look
dman3285 from the Gnote thread said:
Jellybean will be coming soon.. but only when its stable.. no need to release a half ass working build.. just an update.. we are known for stability, not for being the first to the finish line, quality is our goal...:thumbup:

Please forgive me, I'm sorry for being harsh but I've seen so many threads about this in such a short period of time. Dman and his team the Collective dev for 4-5 devices. I've been learning dev for 6 months and so far all I can do is basic tweaking to apks and decompiling them, as well as putting them in a zip.
Seriously. Just be patient, some of you. Reported for moving, btw
P.S:
This is not a port. It's compiling from source. 10 times harder and time consuming. But less chance for bugs.
P.P.S:
Inception was made without the device. It would've been near impossible to build AOSP blindly. (AOSP is pure, vanilla, Android)
P.P.P.S:
This is not an opinion poll. The devs make it how they like it, you're lucky they post it for you. They could just keep it to themselves. Feature requests are always good, but not "I like CM but I don't want a stripped modified ROM"
Thanks
After having spent the past 5 hours flashing various kernels/ROMs in my gf's xperia x10 mini pro due to various bugs, I will have to agree - in the end, stability is a must, and I am certain dman is working his magic as we speak, no need to get impatient

Everyone is being patient. Were thankful to have any devs working on this device. I just havent seen any posts directly from dman about what he's working on for the Glide. I could have missed the post, thats why I asked. But it would be cool to see a post directly from him about it and not just speculation.
Thread moved
No matter how patient everyone is being, these types of threads still keep getting started in Development. They do not belong there. They belong in General. Keep them in general. Thank you for your cooperation.
Please, everyone, just take a sit, grab a drink, and wait for dman to do his magic
I'm all for quality over a rushed job. Dev'ing is hard, especially for an under-popular device like our own. Fewer fellow devs to help out and carry the load, and more people putting the pressure on because they're impatiently excited.
Give the devs their time, it will be alright. I'm still happy with INCEPTIONv1, more so than the leaked ICS.

Status of ROM Development?

First off: I am NOT asking/telling developers to hurry up. I totally respect that ROM development takes time and will gladly wait for the next releases. I am simply curious about a pattern I noticed.
In early August it seemed like ROM releases were more frequent (5-7 days) whereas for PA and Slim we haven't seen a release for almost 20 days. I hope developers can appreciate my question, because instead of asking when the next release is I'm wondering what's been preventing the next release. CM has had the same bugs for almost a month as well, is there some driver that's faulty? Something that has been a PITA to get to work on our platform? Something we are missing? Just curious more about what challenges are causing a hold up, but other than that dev will get to them when they get to them and I'll just be waiting
Thanks for all your hard work devs, hopefully knowing what's been going on behind the scenes can help people to find it in themselves to have patience!

CM has a buildbox so they can do daily automatic builds. I'm using my laptop so I have to manually do builds that take 5+ hours each. I've been a little busy lately but i did just release a build last night. I also build alot of other ROM's for our device and other devices so sometimes it'll take a bit of time between releases.

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][CM12.1][5.1.1][ALPHA][KIWI][2/1/2016 security]

Preface:Lots of great developers have been bringing Cyanogenmod to the Honor 5X, but no one has posted any experimental builds for people to flash. Since I have been able to build CM with the sources other developers have kindly created, I would like to share builds for others to try out on their devices without having to setup an Android build environment.
I would like to clarify a few things:
These builds are UNOFFICIAL and may not be daily driver material.
I just build these ROMs from sources OTHER developers create. See credits below for developer list.
I cannot provide ETAs for the next build, new features, or anything else.
I have only tested these builds on KIW-24, so other variants might not support this ROM.
You are solely responsible for flashing this ROM along with any damage that might result from said flash. See the disclamer.
See post 1 for install instructions and downloads
See post 2 for screenshots and changelogs
Disclaimer: Voided warranties, bricked devices, rogue alarms at 2AM etc. are all your own problem. Neither any developer nor XDA is responsible for any unpleasantness that may result from using this ROM.

And anyone else I might have missed. Let me know if I should add someone else to the credits.
To flash this ROM you need to:
Unlock bootloader and install TWRP
Boot into TWRP, perform wipe, and then flash ROM .zip and optional gapps *NOTE* non kiw-24 users see this post for information on flashing.
Reboot, and enjoy CM on the Honor 5X
Unofficial ROM Downloads:
3-10-16 - REMOVED by OP
Optional Gapps Downloads:
http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64, 5.1.1, Full)
Changelog:
3-10-16 - Initial build. (Tested) working features; wifi, BT, (some) data/LTE, normal phone features.
Known bugs:
No rear camera
No fingerprint sensor
No extra kernel features like Tap To Wake
Some cellular/data features may not work. I can't test this so check posts below to see if someone else can confirm.
Screenshots attached.

Awesome! 40 days after US release. ( i know its been around these forums for a little while) but having a flash-able file is a big bonus. Any general working or not working info ?

My deal is this... I also have builds of BrokenOs (my rom) for this device but i havent posted any for public use, for one reason...Respect... @crpalmer is doing 95% of the legwork for this device over there at CM and Im sure once hes ready and comfortable with where it is, he will announce builds somewhere for it....I think its both premature, and kinda crappy, to make public someones work before even they think its ready for public use.... My 2 cents... Oh, and i dont care about credit for anything..Im just a rom dev, i get enough for that....

Thanks for your input. I certainly do respect @crpalmer along with all the other devs who have worked on this device, and I in no way want to detract from the fame/glory/respect they are due for all their hard work.
@crpalmer or any other dev, if you want me to remove this thread or change it in any way, please let me know. I don't want to step on anyone's toes. I was only trying to help others get a early taste of CM so they didn't have to build it themselves.
Appreciate the credit but I just fetch coffee and hound Huawei when necessary for devs doing actual work.
No harm removing me from the credits.
Thnx to all the devs trying real hard to get these awesome roms on our device.... Really appreciated

Thank you @Bandit Development for the build. While I understand where @InkSlinger420 is coming from I much prefer the state of where @crpalmer has brough CM to over stock. I've been running this for about 4 hours. GPS works great, data and phone work great. Most importantly switching between apps doesn't draaaaaaaag.
Hopefully those responsible for the hard work on this rom will realize this wasn't an attempt to grab the spotlight, but rather a way to placate the masses. Also, needed or not, there is valuable information even in the few early posts because not everyone uses their phones the same way, so one person may never run into a bug that another person sees frequently.
Fingers crossed, but perhaps this thread will also limit the number of posts in the [Dev] thread asking when etc.......... I know I filled it with build questions which probably didn't belong there either. However, I'm trying to learn a little about rom development and one of the first steps to that is to be able to build the rom so you can test your tweaks, or at least see how someone else's changes affect the phone.

It would take me approximately 30 seconds to add automatic nightly builds to my autobuild server (I already generate some builds every night).
Consider that and the fact that I haven't done so as an indication of whether or not I thought builds should be posted right now...

You don't need to remove the thread, I am just pointing out that I don't think that the build is at a level of quality that represents well the work of CyanogenMod.

Well, I'm happy to let you take over cooking builds if you'd like. I certainly don't claim to be able to make quality builds.
I would really appreciate any tips/info you'd like to share that would improve my builds. I've been trying to learn how to fix bugs and contribute to the ROM development, but the task seems to be a rather undocumented and slow-going.

The Talk : GPS and FM Radio

Let's agree, GPS and FM Radio fixing is out of our reach right now. No one has been able to fix it and chances are no one will in the distant future. We need private code of GPS and FM Radio from ASUS and Broadcom to fix this and no one here is an expert in Reverse Engineering, So, I think it's safe to say, we can't fix this on our own.
We have a very stable CM13 for our device that very few other devices have. Heck, OnePlus X got its first official nightly a few days ago. And I think we will get Android N in the future by our developers (I hope ).
Zenfone 5 is a great device, even after 2 years, I can imagine having it for another 2 years or more but I want the next 2 years bug free and stable and I think everyone wants this.
Our primary concern should be about getting this GPS and FM Radio code because we have everything in our reach other than this. GPS and FM Radio are what we need, not different cyanogenmod-based ROMs every day.
Both the companies have rights of their own to decide whether they want to share it or not but why shouldn't we try in our own means ?
We can post daily on ZenTalk once requesting the code or just sit here enjoying our bugged ROMs.
We, as a mass, can do this. We just have to be persistent about the matter and not lose interest, Enough resistance and load on ZenTalk server and we can make an impact on them, just an impact. We just need to make sure they know we want this.
I tried to contact few of the prominent developers here but they weren't willing and I understand why, this is a lost cause if there isn't enough participation from the community. So,
I hope everyone has an opinion about this matter. We can achieve this and we will.
Sign this petition to support the cause
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/release-gps-and-fm-radios-private-code-of-asus
Agree To You
This guy has raised a valid point. We have so many awesome ROMs coming up but only issue is GPS and FM. We should find out means to fix this and get out ROMs full usable.
As far as ASUS developers are concerned, they have not been able to provide us even a lollipop OTA with Battery Drain Fixed so i dont expect any help from them. They are busy making newer devices and ignoring ZF5 users who took the risk of buying an ASUS device when ASUS was a new player in the smartphone market.
Either our XDA developers have to find out something else we should flood ZenTalk to get their attention this !!!!!
XDA Developers please dont provide us too many customizations with multiple versions of the same ROM but please please try to fix GPS bug
Exactly. We need awareness, @vgpranav, you should share this in zenfone groups. Not only you, Everyone who's reading should do this. It's not about just posting on ZenTalk, it's about raising total awareness about this.
Nah. Asus is IGNORING the first generation of the zenfones since the zenfone 2 comes out with the other vesions.
Soo i think we unload our anger on Zen talk would not make a difference.
Just waisting our time..... even tho I travel a alot and i need GPS but i think ASUS just gonna point the middle finger to us then ignore our existance.......

A-GPS working fine buddy. In the 1.9 build
I think we'll never get this private code...
What @ChristopherXI said is true, ASUS is ignoring the first generation Zenfones since the release of the Zenfone 2, proof of this is that even a good and optimized Lollipop ROM didn't come to Zenfone 5, even a OTA update for Lollipop...
ASUS disappointed me so much doing this...
It dosen't matter if asus will going to ignore us, we need to TRY, look how far we are now! remember the old days when we din't even have a forum section for our zenfone 5! and now we even have resurrection remix 5.6.7!! becouse the developers put a lot of effort for making this, and this time is for US to make an effort to them, we can do this guys!

FM Radio is a secondary/optional thing, as most people dont use it(have offline music or services like spotify instead), but GPS is a must, the question is how to find the proper sources, if any device has a similar hardware, it could be backported, on Motorola Atrix's time, a group built a 3.10.x kernel from scratch(literally) as 2.6.32 was totally obsolete for android 4.x(motorola's drivers just didnt work), the same can be done on the zenfone, if only people find a similar hardware with open source code and time(plus lots of testers reporting issues properly/logcats).
Complain about it wont fix it, finding a workaround will.
OMG.
Source code of driver for our GPS chip was published on Github.
The problem is this source code is for device with arm processor. (our device has a x86 processor)
The other way to use a reverse engineering. It have been done too. But it does not work.
It is very hard to fix it because Bluetooth.apk, bluetooth.default.so and gpsd has many dependencies.

Source code of driver for our GPS chip was published on Github.
The problem is this source code is for device with arm processor. (our device has a x86 processor)
The other way to use a reverse engineering. It have been done too. But it does not work.
It is very hard to fix it because Bluetooth.apk, bluetooth.default.so and gpsd has many dependencies.

This is what I'm talking about. Apparently, people just want more ROMs otherwise this post would've gotten more attention. @tank0412 Link for the published code ?

YES ! Same Title " RELEASE GPS AND FM RADIO PRIVATE CODE " with different/same message. I did make a post but it was ignored.
My thread had the message
"Please release Zenfone 5's source code, So that we can enjoy stable GPS-FM Radio enabled Custom ROMs. If you're not going to provide updates, let the dev community do it. We don't want your updates now, just release the source code. We need the private code of GPS and FM Radio of ASUS and Broadcom to make these functions work on custom ROMs.
I love my Zenfone 5, but it's been an absolute disappointment to see other devices get stable custom ROMs and watching my device still running on stock. This device has potential even after 2 years and I think it'll run for another two for me if you release the code.
Thanks."
Everyone can use this as a reference in their thread for posting ! Let's go !
