The s9 seems to be a great device regarding the hardware and the camera. On top, there is an existing developer community, which is especially good, as I really don't like Samsung UI and software. But with aosp or lineage, this could be my next phone.
How's the camera performing with custom roms by now, and what could I probably expect, for example in low light?

Hello everyone,
few days ago I broke glass onmy s4 mini... Now the phone work, but I hate glass broken!
A friend of mine purpose an exchange of my broken phone with his xperia s perfectly working with valid warranty. It is a good deal?
Witch one are the biggest problem with the phone?
I heard about a problem with luminosity sensor, did u noticed?
Any other info will be appreciated guys thx u al!
Do you consider replacing the glass/screen?i think its rather a personal decision, and depends on what do you want...our xperia s is kinda old and dont expect big performance. Also, forget official software updates...are you willing to use roms?
I didnt notice any big luminosity sensor problems, maybe its a bit laggy, but it works perfectly. I would worry more about battery life.
Maybe ask your friend to test the device?

EDIT: btw, the sxs camera is awesome!
thx mrmigg,
i thougth about glass reparation but it will cost a lot ( i have no skill for self change)
my friend is a classmate, tomorrow i'll keep the device all the day long with me, so i could do a lot of test
i'm a bit worried about battery life, i love s4mini battery
thx for help...i'll tell u what i will decide
Yeah, i think the biggest problem is the battery life and maybe the performance,compaired to the s4mini. However, try it tomorrow and if you like it, welcome to our sxs forum, and dont forget, there are some awesome ROMS out there!

May someone can build a Marshmallow Custom Rom? (CM13 for example). I would do that myself, but i don't have the recources to do that.
I realy want to see the development status of Marshmallow
Thanks
arent we still struggling with cm12? surely itll be a while
OK i'll wait

You almost certainly won't see it until HTC releases the source for Marshmallow on the M9.
Thanks for the information

you might see someone port from the A9 sooner
I will definitely be working on cm13 in the near future

How is the status of CM13?[emoji7]
Gesendet von meinem HTC One M9 mit Tapatalk
A9 has been ported to the M8.
If this is possible I'm sure someone may be able to port it to the M9.
I however am not great at porting so it won't be me, but I'd like to see MM on the M9.

If I'm understanding the situation correctly (a dubious bet at best), the A9 to M8 port is still the stock Sense experience. Going from that to an AOSP ROM will involve quite a bit of work. It probably not possible - or at least not very worthwhile - to build a stable AOSP ROM of the newest version of Android on the M9 using another device's firmware.
On a happy note, HTC has said that the M9 is getting Android 6.0. The exact timeline was somewhat unclear. The consensus seems to be that it will be releases somewhere at the end of this month or the beginning of January.

Both m8 and m9 are being tested now for Android 6.0.
A more precise timeline will come once more time is tested on the devices and fixing bugs.

It has been in 3rd cert stage for quite a while. It is due before Christmas, most likely first week of December if following "beginning end of 2015".
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

I havent done a port before, but I think there may be some issues since A8/M8 are 32bit and M9 is 64.
Been seriously pondering s6 to m9
On 5.1.1 and nothing but laggy and always reloading instead of keeping in memory like the m9
Should i?
The m9 doesn't has any problems with memory management. It even is overkill with it, and even with having hundreds of apps installed and running many in background in doesn't lag and is running smooth, especially with Android 6 update! You should go to a store and compare both phones and choose yourself if the m9 is better suited for you or not

But there's a lot of other options (Moto G4, etc) for not so much more, I like the removable battery and the way the back looks. I've heard some negative about the GPS, but since it has a S410, is it the antenna or software?
The camera seems to lack some in taking pictures outside in daylight too, from what I have read.

The camera is really great, best i ever had and it's the cheapest device i ever bought.
Gps is good enough, surely tops all mediatek devices and is as good as a 250 bucks sony m4 dual for example. Accuracy after fix is very good, fix is super fast with network, in airplane mode without any supplementary data the first fix is slow (around two minutes).
So if you're outside your country and want fast fix with no network the first day you need to be patient. But that is a problem most devices have and it is only of you have no data, no wifi to get the agps data downloaded.
So i would recommend the device.

Alles klar Herr Komischer kommissar! That was more praise than I have read about the device. Hmm, not bad.

And the compass and gyro are working great, too.

So essentially, this mobile is better than the Moto G4 Play, even though it costs less?

G4 play camera is bad but its battery is larger. Same cpu. Same sensors. Take the wileyfox if you dont need a big battery. But the difference is not so big.

I think if I had to buy now, I might take the G4 Play for the bigger battery, but I'm still quite happy with the Swift.
It's a tie, I think.
The Swift has a gyroscope that is missing of the G4 Play. The latter one has bigger battery.
I'm perfectly happy with the Swift (especially if you can grab it on 99£ promotion) but neither will be a bad decision

I would not buy it again. Mainly because of the battery. It does not last a full day and the fact that even though it is removable, this does not help. I have not found the possibility to buy neither a battery nor an external charger.

Batteries are available, but not really cheap. And my device lasts 2 days with cm 13 nightly and beroid kernel installed. Wifi always on but i dont play games... You can tune it even more if you set it do disable cores to last 4 days

I'd get a Wileyfox Spark+ instead of the swift. It has the same specs but feels a lot nice in the hand. Better finish and it just feels a lot more premium. Normally it's also the same price.
Hi guys. I own Rk3288 TV Box that runs 5.1 Android. When i try to run IPTV on it, kodi keeps buffering for ages (IPTV tested on other devices and works like a charm). Even loading channels list takes few minutes. I figured that the problem is in the outdated kodi and since i can't install newer versions of kodi on lolipop I would like to update the box's firmware. After some digging i've found that there is no official update beyond 5.1 but i've also found custom 7.1 .2 firmware for Ugoos boxes that run on the same RK3288 chip. I was wondering if i can flash it to my box anyway? Or is it a bad idea?

Very unlikely. You could try and risk a brick but simply relying on the same SoC as reference for custom Ron to install is unfortunately not working. If the PCB and and all its components are identical, it could probably work, but only the SoC is not enough.

Damn, i was really hoping for it to work. Box seems to be decent but it just suffers from lack of updates.

There are chinese boxes from different "brands" which are internally 100% identical. If you have a custom Ron for those, there is a high probability this Rom will work for all those devices.
It's a guess and you could still try, but there is a risk of hard bricking the box.
Have you tried to play around with the Kodi buffer settings to get rid of the stuttering?

Yeah I tried that. I'll look for similiar boxes and try what you said. Hopefully it will work. If not i'll just order a new one. Won't really loose anything becouse the box in it's current state is pretty much useless.
