Who are the Dev for D720? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So who are the developers that are going to be developing for the Samsung Nexus S 4G (D720)? I figured this is a question everyone has been wondering. Im very excited to get started with my Nexus S 4G! (Previously came from the HTC Evo and there were alot of dedicated dev., Hope to see the same here)
P.S I didnt put this in the Q&A Because this is a direct question to the developers in this section about the current ROM's Available. Please don't be upset : )

I hope netarchy puts up a rom with his liquid smooth touches. His evo rom + kernel was ILL.
The thing is, the nexus s and ns4g are dev phones, bare bone AOSP, so a custom rom is just gunna be "themed" a bit and/or the real "improvements" are in the Kernel or any additional apps the dev has created.
I would love to see a bunch of ports make their way over. I would imagine that a dev phone would be one of the easiest to port/build for (easy for a dev, not the average human )

in a way, we all are.. who is to say that someone has to be a "dev" to make something, or find out what may fix something? on the heroc we had hundreds of users sitting in an irc room helping each other trying to figure out why things didnt work and what would happen if we pressed this button 7 times instead of 4..
so in short grab some code and lets start working my repo is synced and already compiled im working with the rest of the ACS team to see if we cant bring some lovins on over from the epic/evo
trying to come up with a good name for the rom >.>

Well, its very time consuming. I did alot of theming in the past, then wrote a few apps for WebOS, but just don't seem to have the time anymore with fulltime work, college, etc.
You are right tho, anyone can learn and the nexus line are a great place to start, simple and not complicated. Come on young high-school minds with oodles of time! Make ur name known! Lol
Really tho, I wish I could contribute more

You know I have some time since school is over and now I'm just looking for work to pass me by til its starts again. NO BS if somebody could point me to the right way help me along the way. I would make a rom for the ns4g. Always wanted to just for self pride not for glory or money. So I'm here and ready!

I know alot of you guys don't know him. But ask any Droid owner about Peter Alfonso (BuglessPete). You couldn't ask for a better dev to work on stuff for your phone. * no pressure Pete
Seriously though shabbypenguin hit the nail on the head. We are in this together ...

This number one thing to do is get ur pc ready with the right software and drivers (there are a couple applications for compiling/decompiling and signing, not just what u use for root)
There's a thread around here about theming for the epic. It has a nice intro to the basic setup ull need, just be sure to replace anything epic with sns, u can then move on to ROMs once u understand what composes a ROM. When I'm back at my PC I could probably hook u up w a good place to start, but right now I'm out and about after this heathen Bulls game! Woot woot!

If I may suggest, Epic 4G is just about the same as the NS4G. From what I hear they got our stock to work on Epic just after I posted this.
I know they have the CM7 half way ported on Epic as well as the obvious stock with the TouchWiz interface for whoever likes that stuff I figured this would be the easiest place to start.

stop spamming this, its not going to work, for the same reasons why i explained in your thread about it

It probably will work as much as flashing a Droid ROM onto a Milestone...same hardware...epic fail.

more so then that all they currently have is a .32 cm7 kernel a semi working .35 cm7 kernel and their stock .32 touchwiz kernel.. we only have .35 stock kernel, even if you could get past the bootloops good luck trying to make a phone call or get crap to stop force closing

Spamming? Chill out man. I'm just trying to help.

I thought we had to wait for Samsung on GB? Dont get me wrong I would love to see it and if anyone can get it done that would be great. I also see where your coming from, with all these minds we can maybe get a port from another source.

well according to some foreigners GB was released for the galaxy family about 2 to 3 weeks ago
but that was a foreign release not an american release, im not sure if that matters
your rite dX but i think the issue is with drivers... like i'm sure u could get gb running... but would be like having an ipad1 lol... if that makes sense....
Yeah I think only the S2 has gingerbread and that's the only one we can port it from. The issues are usually drivers and most of the time we'll lose battery life.
Nah the original galaxy S has gingerbread. We have a kernel and an ext4 fs now so it shouldnt be as bad as trying to port it over like before.

I'm getting my linux set back up in the next couple of days. I plan on attacking this as soon as I can. I have successfully compiled GB for a device that shouldn't have seen anything past eclair, so I will do all I can for this one. I have a sh*t ton of homework to do though. This is my first ever Samsung, so there is a BIG learning curve for me.
I came from an Evo 4g so this is DEFINITELY a learning curve for me too! Everything on my evo was easier but this gives me more of a sense of pride. My phone is a beast thanks to the developers!

Well, here is where I'm coming from:
While up to this point everything we have, as far as roms, are ports (we don't really have a choice because samsung is stingy with their source codes). While this is great for most of what we use, some parts that are really deep in the code (java, framework, device specific hardware, etc....) will HAVE to be compiled in one way or another. You cant just grab the GB file system and try to slam it into our device...never happen. Far too many parts and pieces rely on each other. So once I can get my stuff straight, I will start a clean repo of the GB source (I already have the samsung kd1 source stuff) and try to merge them the best I can. Then the sh*t hits the fan. Will it compile? Probably not.......Now we have to resort to past experience, help from others that have compiled, and google your ass off!
As an example: Shared libs are a freakin nightmare!! Did you know that things like camera, video, and even some audio stuff use the same exact libs? I didn't either until I started compiling. So if one of these is broken....none of it will work. Probably won't even compile, let alone boot.
I'll support anyone who wants to do something productive with our phone.

Damn bro that sounds like a super challenge. I'm sure the people in this forum could help. Lets just hope others want this like we do. That's wild about those lib files. So if 1 is broke you have to find it and fix it to compile? That's rough.

Oh absolutely. The key is how the file system reads itself in GB. The cpu just plain 'ol doesn't have to work as hard. Better battery life, faster and smoother overall performance, graphics, etc...... Plus like I said, it has features that froyo just doesn't have. Absolutely no need for task killers anymore. It's all integrated into the system.
And to answer your question, yes. If one part of that lib doesn't jive......compiling just stops, end of story. Now you have to search through all of your source files and TRY to find out what's wrong. Then google google google for any sign of a solution. This is virgin ground when compiling aosp from source. Not easy at all.
That doesn't touch the tip of the iceberg either. Try modifying code (which has to be done sometimes). C, C++, Java, etc.....sh*t can get hairy.

I tried my hand at c++ when I used to have a PSP and I messed around and wrote a few starter programs(hello world, a counter,mp3 player)to get me familiar with code. Yea that stuff makes my brain hurt when trying to fix an error, compiling the mp3 player was hard cause I kept getting errors, took me 2 Days to get it to compile into eboot.pbp for psp and it would still freeze when trying to exit so I never got to finish it.

(Q) when will we have rom(s) for our mt4gs

Why can't we get any rom for the mt4gs? I have been waiting and nothing is coming but the sensation has a lot of roms....
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
We're all waiting and hoping as well, and some of us have even pledged money to whoever can help us out, but for now we just continue to wait. The Sensation has been out for a bit longer now, and I'm sure in due time we'll get ROMs, but not soon enough... It's not that we CAN'T get ROMs, it's just that no one has developed one yet...
i wish theres a way to learn how to develop roms, cuz our phone is similar to the sensation, so there would be a slight changes to the ROMs they have no?
Yeah it seems like for the most part all we have is a newer H-Boot and probably not much else... I put a thread in the Sensation forums asking for a dev to try out the MT4GS but no luck so far...
on of the more daunting hurdles to jump the the difference in screen size between the 2 devices
im tryin to get androidspin or androidcentral to tweet saying that we need a new rom for the mytouch 4g slide
Although I'm used to the wait for the first ROMs, I am surprised that we haven't had a CM dev (new or existing) popping in to say they've picked it up and are working on it.
Also not sure if this thread belongs in the dev forum...
yea sorry for posting it in the dev forum but its not like we have any dev yet... and BTW androidspin Retweeted my tweet, lets see if we get anything.
my twitter: motown9987
*holds breath and crosses fingers*
I sent a PM to Cjward23 and Evil D: who are part of the Virtuous team, I would LOVE to have any one of their ROMs for this device! I told them there would be money offered, as I'm sure many of us are willing to do! He said he'd pass it on to the team - hopefully things will start to happen for us!
yea i tweeted virtuousteam team telling them to make a rom for us, so lets see if they respond, *crossing fingers*
MT4GS are similar to the G2 yeah? Same res, etc. I dont think it would be that hard. Im a dev for the DZ, and could probs port some over, but it would be pretty hard without MT4GS. Too bad they aint available in the uk D:

This is the best place to start, it has just about all the resources you'll need. It's overwhelming at first, but just take it one step at a time and you can make some progress. I say all of that, of course, and I haven't actually done any dev work myself...
I already have a mt4gs stock ROM deodexed, debloated, optimized, busybox, and some other enhancements all ready in the works. I will also add a data app folder so the bloat can be easily removed. Just give me a week or so to get settled in. I'm coming over from the mt4g so patience will be needed. I think this mytouch slide I have is defective so I wanna test this ROM before i release it.

I would like to try MIUI on the MT4G slide, but with a rotating launcher.
CM7 + go launcher is pretty good as well, using Theme installer
Man what is this crap?? The G2 already has a rom ported from the Mytouch 4g slide..this is bull. Has anyone heard an update on how much longer it might be till we see some roms??..im having Custom ROM withdrawl..lol

Sense 2.1 port on Infuse 4G

Hey guys, I have a small request for any kernel dev on the infuse..
I have an ns4g, and have been working on a sense 2.1 port, thread is here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489851
My friend let me borrow his old infuse 4g, as I was interested in developing for it a little..
The port itself shouldn't be too hard, as the infuse and ns4g are both based on the s5pc110 board, and are pretty much the same device along with all sgs haha..
What I'm asking is, are there any kernel devs out there that would be willing to help me? I need a sense bootclasspath over a cm7 kernel for this port, and thats all I am asking for. I suck with samsung zimages, and dont trust myself building it from source since I just picked up the device..
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to help

LinuxBozo, Entropy and bedwa were the kernel devs we had. (sorry if I forgot any)
They still pop in once in a while. Haven't seen any lately
IRC room. ;D
Any luck? I'd love to see this on our phones.
It will be harder then you think, but most of this community is cheering you on ha. Contact the people in the first list if possible, best bet would be entropy though.
Yeah I know it will be hard, but the infuse community looks like it needs some love I tried to get in touch with entropy, no reply.
try it yourself. id test it. these phones are super easy to flash remotely so bad kernels arent too much of a concern.

Well he's got a new test kernel. And Samsung now has posted new source. If you brick this thing, I will applaud you. It's REALLY hard to. Especially if you have a jig. I'd try this thing if you did it.. even though I've heard what Sam Catsplat thinks about Sense...
There's nothing I could do here - I don't even know what the hell you're asking for. Bootclasspath is userland (maybe initramfs), not kernel.
If you're doing something as aggressive as trying to shoehorn Sense onto a Samsung device, you'd better have the ability to rebuild your own kernel.
As I don't have a device, I am not doing anything but small patches. I also don't recall you ever trying to get in touch with me, but maybe I missed the PM.
Either way - you are best off doing this yourself. If you can't rebuild a kernel you have no hope of achieving a major mod such as a Sense port.

Alright yeah I was a little confusing. To clarify, I needed the initramfs edited to conatin the sense bootclasspath. I will try to rebuild my own, I was just thinking that since this isn't even my device, and I have never done anything rom wise with it, I would try to ask the community for help.
I sent you a pm awhile ago, a few days after I posted here. I'm not very good with samsung kernels or zimages or whatever you wanna call them, which is why I asked you for help.
This was just a little project I wanted to try out, and since its not my device I didn't want to go at it alone. Sorry for asking for help.

[DEV][TEAM WX435] has arrived!

To all the XDA Motorola Triumph fans we have arrived. We have packed our bags from Android Forums and this will be our new stomping ground. We took most of the dev's and formed a collaborative team
https://github.com/WX435
We will be working on making the Motorola Triumph a much better phone and all working together to fix many issues. Right now our main goal is working on rewriting our device files for CM7 and then moving those files into CM9 and AOKP. If we continue to have success we may also start working on AOSP flavors like Gingerbread and ICS as well. Stay tuned for some radical changes and fixes!
Now we just need to talk to B_randon and Austrie

It seems that using this remodeled Sharp ROM, everything in HW (including AGPS) can be made to work. Is that something which can be leveraged for general development? If so, perhaps in the spirit of team building, everyone can pull together to get one ROM out to use as a basis. Sorry, I'm a dev IRL, but don't know much about how these ROMs are built (from source? provided binaries?). I can help if we're shorthanded doing such a thing.
Thanks.

agent,
Right now our focus is CM7. I am currently reworking the device files for the phone, trying to make everything perfect. I have already downloaded the sharp ROM and will dive into it more to pull out the AGPS to see if I can make it work in CM7. Right now my focus has been on the video and it's getting much better but still needs some tweaks. b_randon is working on the kernel, we are hoping to upgrade that as well. Once I have the device files done will then be reworking them into CM9 & AOKP along with kernel. It's a slow process as we have completely started from scratch. Just know we are working it :good:
Ok, thanks. I just tried out the Sharp ROM, and another thing its seems to get right is deep sleep while wifi is on. I'm not sure if it's doing it correctly or just turning it on when screen is unlocked (not sure what's default on android), but I had auto-sync on. I've never had wifi deep sleep work before (Juicedefender has a bug here). That's kind of a big deal since we've previously had to trade off battery life for speed. Wifi-on is also instant whereas it takes a while in Juicedefender.

[4.2.x][Infuse4g] Jellybean Kernel Port Project

So everyone knows that situation we are in with our kernel.... At the moment, its DECENT, but it is extremely outdated. Although it is enough to keep things working at the moment, who knows what may happen with future OS releases... We have had no official support since the days of gingerbread. Myself and a handful of other developers have been making changes/additions when needed and to the best of our abilities, but with such an outdated kernel, it is getting harder and harder to make necessary changes to work with the existing source.
As of right now, this will be a two man project... Myself and rwaterspf1. Those of you who are not familiar with rwaterspf1, that is the member that recently donated his infuse to me. I got to talking with him and it turns out that he is not a stranger around kernel development in other areas. I am currently talking with a couple other people and may get some assistance from them as well.
We will be attempting to add support for the infuse4g into the Aries kernel. - Which is a updated and supported kernel
This is DAY ONE, and nothing has been done yet. This is the very beginning and for those of you that are not familiar with kernel development, there is alot that goes into it, so do NOT expect this to be completed with a day or two. This will be an ONGOING development thread.
As a disclaimer, I want to make sure that everyone is aware that this may NOT work at all and may just be a huge fail. We will try our best and from the looks of it, I think its definitely something we can figure out.
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS, and we ask that you all support us even in the event of failure.
Progress can be found -> HERE
Efforts as of 4/28/2013
* MTD partition table and file system files added into kernel
* Touchscreen drivers copied over
* Added video driver files and edited existing files
* Edited modem files for infuse compatibilities
* Infuse edits added to sec_jack file for compatibility
You can find rwaterspf1's profile from HERE
There will be numerous benefits if we are able to do this... And hell... who knows.... it may even fix up the 720p recording issue in doing this... No promises though.
I'm willing to try. And I'm last to throw rocks as long as great effort is given. And seeing your roms, don't think you have any other mindset.

You are awesome for attempting this. Thank you. If you need my help in anyway, just let me know.
And btw, i got the new beanstalk boot animation started. But its still a ways to go. And no, the forecast doesn't call for tacos.

If anyone here can pull this off, its you Scott. You have been an instrumental part of EVERY great thing we have for our Infuse, as noted by your mention in 99.9% of the custom ROMs. You have my support regardless of its success :thumbup:

Always a happy tester here

There will definitely be testers needed in the up coming days here... At the moment we literally just started and are working on moving over the infuse specific files we will need to add into the aries kernel tree for our device. Hope to have this booting within a couple days...
PS... Thank you for the donation Alexis .... Its funny how you mentioned about the energy drinks because more then likely thats exactly where itll go...

indeed . if you need a tester, i am happy to help out .
I'll help testing as well.
BTW, you should call it KernelAngus.
Edit: Just wanted to make sure I said thanks again for your dedication, effort and generosity.

Scott, as always I am way open for testing. I'm still running the Beanstalk build with the kernel modifications and WiFi drivers you let me test. Best. Build. Ever.

Thanks for all the support. Ill keep everyone in mind. Also, I reached out to one of the Cyanogenmod developers for some advice and he gave me some assistance as for what will be needed... Feeling pretty confident, but like i said... definitely not going to be a quick job.
Scott I've said it before but I'll say it again you are awesome! If anyone can pull this off it's you. I'm willing to beta test like all the others. Thanks a million for making my phone amazing.

Scott if you need me just send me a message I am more than willing to help :3

I'm willing to test the kernel.
720p, MHL and proper Bluetooth drivers would make this device capable of becoming official, but how old can the device be and still be capable of all new releases?
Always in to help and do what I can to try and get things working right. Scott is the man on the infuse as of late, but we can't forget who started all this...
Good luck guys!
