I would like to know who wants to post their roms over at neopeek so as to start a thread over there too.
I would like to start seeing CM ports for Defy.

Hi there,
Sorry to sound a bit negative here, but why would anyone want to do that? We already have a superb structured forum with all the available roms for the defy here and the most common ones are being regularly developed and tweaked by some top guys.
I have just taken a quick look at neopeek (as i hadnt heard of it before), and when you drill down into Android Forum Android Roms / Android Porting Android ROMs it falls into a totally disorganised mess.
The XDA Developers Forum is the best available by a mile! (a totally different league to the rest).

Hi all , as the title says is there any way to port gingerbread to i9003?
What are all the changes that have to be done in the gingerbread rom to make it work with i9003?
Can we take the drivers for i9000 from its original firmware and merge it with gingerbread.
I know if we flash the wrong firmware it wont go past the samsung logo. But what is making it to stop there??
1.Hardware Drivers?.
2.Phone model conflict.?
Post your ideas and opinions.....
I don't think it would be possible, not without ALOT of work anyway. I think I remember 'curio tweeting about it having completely different hardware, although I could well be wrong...
Curio only said that the audio hadware is different. Why cant we remove the drivers of i9000 from that gingerbread rom and replace it with i9003 drivers. May be it is easy to say but hard to achieve, i want to take some initial steps towards it...
Any guidance from developers will be helpful
We need some experienced developers to start this or else wait for official version from samsung.

not just that. you guys have a different cpu/gpu too.
Ya the CPU/GPU/CHIPSET/AUDIO are different, but we have all the required drivers and files in the i9003 original rom file. WHy cant we replace those in the gingerbread rom. I may be wrong , but its not at all impossible.
You make it sound so easy. You can't just replace the drivers with i9003 ones without editing the software to be compatible with the new drivers. Just wait for gingerbread
Galaxy S - no point in writing rom or kernel constantly changing!
The linux kernel in Gingerbread is different. That's why drivers from old kernel can be incompatible. Also we don't have sources to compile new drivers.

None of the developers are interested in this phone. In spite of consistent requests we have not been provided a separate section at XDA. Either Admin does not like this phone or they are waiting for some developer to take initiative. Even the cheapest phone has a development thread within a short period of its release. May be its a fate of I9003 users.
I think that all because the phone is available in specific countriea bot widly spread

Been said before buy the devs a few phones they cannot work on something they have not got .They do not get paid to work on giving you a nice rom .
So please donate at least one I9003 .
jje
I heard that we have to donate a mobile of the same model to xda so that the developers will start their work. is that true?
What do you do when you come home from work ??
Go out and buy a phone you dont want and start development work on it for no money as a hobby ??? . To give away to unknown persons .
Devs are people that work on stuff for free its a hobby not a job .
Personally if i was able to do all that development stuff i would be looking at the SGS 2 now .

May be what you are saying is right, but what is stopping XDA admin to provide us a separate section for I9003? Atleast we will have some hope seeing our own section... How can ppl reach a developer at a forum where we do not even know who is a developer here? Why will somebody even show interest in the development of the device which is not listed??? that can be another reason. Its need to be popular for someone to be attracted. When I want to read posts related to my device here, I have search through 100s of I9000 posts, I have to search my own post in the forum, it goes untraceable. What do you think about this? do you think we need to donate the phone to XDA moderators too to create a section?
@JJE, do you mind telling us which phone do you own?
@trip
If I remember correctly jje has a SGS.
He is one of the most helpful people around. I have read his posts in different phone's sections and found them to be helpful and motivating.
Even here his suggestion is practical.
All those wonderful people who develop for SGS (darky, curio,etc) own that device. We need to have developers from within our own group only first. Others could chip in and help us.
Ok then lets donate a phone to darky or some reputed developer and ask to help us. But my point is we need separate section for the phone for all the developments posts and attract other developers. Its easy for some ppl to donate when they gain some thing in return, I mean to continue the development support.

Contacted a moderator via mail. For getting a separate section for our mobile he says we have to keep on requesting in the "Android General" forum. Once there is 1000+ requests, they will decide about a new sub forum.
@bala, lets do it then.

Post daily in that request thread & all i9003 users add that thread link in your signature that way all new users will get to see that thread & will post request to cross 1000s post mark soon. Next 10-15 days we should have it done.
What do you say?
Dear All,
Excuse me if I start a new thread here but it is my understanding that certain questions are not to be made in the development section.
I know much has to do with personal taste, your own experience and research, but I am coming from an HTC Aria, and I am looking for a custom ROM for my Inspire.
There are many ROM's posted that I know and appreciate have a lot of hard work and dedication from developers and unconditional testers and followers, as for instance the specific ROM thread for BinDroid's ROM itself alone has close to 900 posts, so please don't be offended by my questions, as for what I have seen and managed to read it seems to be that this might be what I am looking for:
Is this a stable ROM for daily use?
Are there any trade-off's / sacrifices (camara, video, flash, sound, buttons, gps, etc? that don't work or have limitations?)
I can understand that for many long time users and followers there can be "known issues" , but please understand that for newcommers these are not, so your kind comments will be most welcome.
I thank you all for your support and look forward to your answers and any recomendations that you may have.
Cheers!
I would say this Rom is stable for a daily use. For awhile I was running this Rom for little over 2 months. It's very clean. Its one of the handful of roms out here that works form start to finish. The support from the inspire to the desire hd threads for this is very quick if you had any issue that you may come across. I couldn't remember the last time I.had any major issue when using this. Battery life is great if you do a lot of Pandora browsing uploads like to fb etc. Works for me with my inspire. So would differently say flash this sucker.. its worth it.
If I remember right the only thing I did was a different kernel and a uv script lite other then that bad ass.

Let's first start with, welcome! Secondly, while you're correct dev threads are typically (depends on the dev team or individual developing the ROM) are reserved for development, there are Q&A's for each respective ROM that you should use to ask questions regarding a specific ROM. If everyone created a separate thread about each question they had for each ROM they use you can see how chaotic the forums would get.
The best way to figure out what "issues" a ROM has is to read some of the recent posts in both the Q&A and Dev section, you'll see there what most people are dealing with. Most ROMs here are pretty stable and I would say fine for daily use (ICS has some minor bugs due to source issues but from what I'm seeing there are a couple of somewhat stable ICS builds).Remember this is a development site, so some independent searching and reading is expected on your part.
As for Bindroid, I used it way back when they firsant started with sense 3.5 and loved it. Danny and the team are real nice guys and do great work. I would say that ROM is more then capable of being a stable, daily driver. Just remember, only you can decide what you can live with and c live without. All ROMs come with trade offs, some users don't mind them and don't even consider them trade offs or issues which is why you need to decide for yourself. Goood luck man!
What is the best gaming ROM for my DS?

True Story :good:
I would say the only way to archive it is over clock the chip to 1495mhz, you can find the notice of the overclocking from some game like death rally. Trust me, all the rom is the same because Desire S is still using the old generation which make the gaming performance go low plus the sense is also a reason.
I have chance to compare the gaming performance with the Xperia U with almost same hardware spec except the dual core. The result is quite unexpected, Xperia U handle games much better although they are using the same GPU Adreno 205. Hope it will help , you wont notice the different until you try heavy games.

PLEASE! DO A SGS+ FORUM! WE DESERVE IT!!
p.s: For this i will get an big advertisment but it's ok :laugh:
AW: I guess for that we need an separate forum!
anyone should Start a Petition that we can sign and Hand over To the mods.
And op's please leave this thread in dev section althoug its not directly dev but its only about splus
We should have our own forum idd. Why? Because the i8150 even has his own forum. and we have more development then the i8150
Let's all post as much curse words as possible so we draw the attention of the mods so they will see this thread.
Okay I begin I guess....
No just kidding! You are right we need a seperate forum for our device we always argue with ppl posting **** in the wrong thread

This is true that we have more development but I don't really see why that would be a comparison.
It would be great if we had a separate forum but in the mod's and admins eyes, we are only an extension/upgrade of the i9000. I can't fathom how many times I have seen this kind of discussion in these forums and how many times the mod's just simply said "No." Well, they have made many changes recently to make sure spam stays minimal so it might be possible if we approach with the fact that having no separate forum creates an unbelievable amount of spam, which is actually pretty damn true.

Well, I think you're actually right. but it's justa pity that we don't have other forums. although it doesn't slow down the development at all! it's only increasing and increasin
But I must admit that asking a Q in the i9000 Q&A forum is just terrible. since it's so i9000 orientated.
But idd the mods just won't change it ever. period

If i9001 had a separate forum or had a dedicated section in the i8150 one we would eliminate lots of spam threads or "which ROM is better?" ones
Inviato dal mio frigo a pedali.
i don't think having a separated forum will have any use . we have 1 gb rom still active , 3 ics roms and maybe 3 or 4 jb roms . 4 kernels focused on jb , 1 on ics and 1 on jb . a separate forum for 14 topics ? the only use of a separate forum would be that modders and app devs like brood can get more organized , but brood implements everything he does into his rom forums and modders are getting fewer by the day . and our device is getting old .
probably , after the release of klp most people will move to another device and the forum will be dead . having in consideration that a phone's life is , by industry standard , 2 years ..well we're basically getting a separate forum for a few months afterwards we all would move onto a new device .
it has no use . i9001 has an amazing developing team for a niche device , but all this fuss is not worth it seeing that this is a close knitted , close to a thousand user community .

Already asked several times to our moderators. Whiskey01 answerd back that they would take it in to a count and they would let us know if any thing changed.
Sure..This will be..ahm..
Never?
R: I guess for that we need an separate forum!
No, the day after never.
Inviato dal mio frigo a pedali.
the real problem is that i9001 is seen as an upgrade of i9000, but they are really different, i discovered only few weeks ago that our Q&A section is in the i9000 one.... and i think it is nonsense, why i have to go in i9000 Q&A to make a question for i9001? it is so confusing, people risk to brick their phones by misreading i9000-i9001 (some i9000 users answer i9001 questions thinking is the same thing.... but even button combination to get in recovery is different)
It could be better if we at least we have a new separate general section :fingers-crossed:
So that development section would be spared from unnecessary threads.
Let's ask the moderator about this :thumbup:

I9070 has a few ROMs / kernels but it has a separated forum !!!!! I'm agree with new forum
I also agree the idea, normal S is completely different phone than our plus.
Yep we need a separate forum.
+1
s and s plus are totally diferent... only have the same appearence
There are a lot of phones out there which have way less development than our great device and have their own forum anyway. I mean come on, our great dev community managed to port kernel 3.4 - and it's as good as bugless! We have a close to beta version of CM10.1, and there are coming up new devs all the time.
Furthermore, the thing with the Q&A thread in i9000 Q&A forum is confusing as hell. Our device has f*ing nothing to do with i9000! And this is also a reason why the dev section is being spammed all the time (I gotta admit that I also once spammed because I was so confused)
So I agree, PLEASE GIVE US OUR OWN FORUM!
I know I just said a lot of things that were mentioned earlier in this thread, but I just wanted to sum it all up.
AW: I guess for that we need an separate forum!
They think that our device is just an other version of the i9000 but the i9070 is just an other version of the i9100, too and the i9070 has his own forum.
And withe an own forum we won't have so many Q/A in development died or how its called
