Does paranoid android have an official site where you can check what devices are supported etc? I'm thinking of getting a new phone and jsut wanted to see if my potential future (note 3 or nexus 5) phone is supported

As far as I know only Nexus devices have native support. Any other device needs some random dev to port it on his own time and terms. You might be able to tell which devices are in active development by searching their XDA subforums and looking for PA threads.
There is a Device Registry on their G+ community pages. Note 3 and Nexus 5 aren't yet supported.

Nexus 5 is supported.
Nexus devices are always officially supported
The device registry is a list of devices we are aware of existing ports for. It may not be conclusive because we aren't exactly notified if a port is created.
Oh, OK, thanks!
Also the site is http://paranoidandroid.co

Since it's been open sourced, any chance of porting it to the Galaxy Nexus? FirefoxOS also has been ported, so I would think WebOS would be possible. Any info on that? Would love to experiment with WebOS if it can be ported.
Parts of webOS have been open sourced, however the full open webOS 1.0 is not slated to be released until September.
Until then, no dice. Also depends highly on variant and availability of open source drivers.

Ahh one of the people somewhere else in this forum said it had been fully open sourced. Not yet I guess. Also, aren't all the drivers for the gnex in the AOSP repo? So that shouldn't be a problem

All GSM models and VZW yes, Sprint not yet. Those available should work as open webOS will use the standard linux kernel. However it is my understanding, and I could be wrong, that some models, namely the CDMA ones still use proprietary binaries with permission to distribute for AOSP. Not that they couldn't potentially be used for a port, just that it is a bit more of a grey area.

It's my understamding that the sprint one will NEVER be in the AOSP repository. Google said so I think. So I guess it would be harder for that one. I guess now I know it'll easily be possible for a WebOS port at least for the Maguro and Toro (which I have).. I wonder if someone will take up the cause, or I'll have to do it myself...
So as I understand it, much has been made about the difficulty of getting LTE in the Nexus line because of proprietary drivers and binaries. Consequently, when the Nexus 7 LTE was announced many rejoiced that we would finally have AOSP LTE. However, I also heard many caution and say that we could get something similar to the Verizon Nexus that just left that information out of AOSP.
So now that we've got the Nexus 7 LTE out and I believe also have the AOSP for the LTE variant out, what is the answer? Are all of the binaries and drivers there? Also, are there any other binaries or drivers left out of the AOSP?
So checking this page:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
...it looks like the image for the LTE variant might not have been released yet. If so, then I guess this question is not answerable yet.
... and checking this page, the last update is 7 weeks ago, the JLS36C is missing.
https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/deb/
Looks like after Jean-Baptiste Queru has quit the AOSP nobody at google cares anymore. The End of AOSP? Hopefully not ... :crying:
So it's out now. Any additional thoughts?
I'm bumping this again as there has been some time to look at it now. thoughts?

I imagine development and including the binaries will be at the discretion of the devs. Some do it (like Carbon) while many others don't at all.
I think once adoption rate rises it will be more common.
driver binaries and factory images are available for Nexus 7 LTE (razorg). Not if the binaries are complete though.

Hey all,
I was wondering, since the new Android L came out, how come no one is rushing to have it on our S3? Is there a version that exists already? And if not, who would like to work on this (maybe with me)?
Thank you in advance.
There is not a single device with Android L and the source code has not been released. There are two preview builds that are not final for the Nexus 5 and 7. You should check your facts with a few seconds of googling before starting a thread like this.

Google has released the SDK of the final Android 5.0 (L). Why would someone not be able to take the image file from there and make a port?
Porting a ROM is not as easy as it sounds.
I had Android L on my Nexus 4 for a while and didn't like the interface. Even after many revisions, it still is not perfect on the Nexus 4.

That's true, I agree. I read some guides here on XDA on how to port a ROM. I'd very much do it for my S3, but there are some things i am not sure about, like the kernels and the modems. Ill need to read up on it if I decide to do it myself.

The SDK is not an operating system. It is documentation on how to create apps that will run well and look nice on the operating system. The images for the nexus 5 and 7 could indeed be ported, but it would take a good chunk of time and be buggy (as interfacing with certain hardware probably would be broken). It would also make no sense to work on such a port project because Android L source code will likely be released in early November. Building Android L for the S3 from source code would be much more ideal, and will definitely be done once L's source code is released

Ah roger that, thank you for a well explained reply mate.

Hello,
I have a question on what is needed by developers to make Lollipop ROMs for our S3.
I have been following the releases and know that the images for the Nexus devices are up and that OTAs have begun. Is that what developers need as a starting point?
As you can tell I'm fairly clueless about this so I appreciate any information because I like to follow along.
Thanks!
Devs need the actual sources to build, which have been released. Unfortunately they can't work with the factory images for Nexus devices.
If I remember correctly, it took 2 or 3 months to get a usable KitKat build from Slim. (the first ones to do it, I recall.) We'd be lucky to see it by the new year, in my opinion.
Thank you for the info.
So they take the Nexus sources and then build it for our devices and then figure out how to add drivers for our hardware, etc?
Thank you for the timeline. I'm hoping it will be sooner, but your estimate is more realistic
I saw this in the S3 international forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/rom-namelessrom-t2939673
And
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/wip-cyanogenmod-12-t2936990
Looks like they are hard at work on lollipop for their devices. I wonder if anyone is working on it for ours yet?

Im wondering the same and if anybody has taken interest in building it for the d2lte variants like the att etc..
I haven't seen anything yet in the forums, but I'm still hopeful that someone will!

Yeah I been on the ROM since it was provided.

The list of officially supported devices is staggering and my choices to have it on a phone is even more limited. What makes this even harder is the Nexus line up of phones has been discontinued as far as I can tell so getting my hands on one to begin with will be a challenge in of itself.
I do notice the Nexus 5x is not on the list but would I be limited in any way if I want Nethunter on the phone?
What else should I pay attention for when looking on the market for a nethunter phone.

Please ask in the general section of the forum. Also you will find an older nethunter thread in this section here

Despite my account being a bit old I visit this forum a handful of times so I'm sorry for the improper posting. I'll report my thread to have it moved.
I got my answer from somewhere else. So aparently there is much more supported devices found here. Definitely more to work with.
https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki
Is there any other hardware details or specs I should look for when shopping for a new phone? Specifically for the purposes of Nethunter.
