Hello guys,
First things, I am not PR! I have been very busy on my end of things preparing updates, answers for questions, etc. Which brings me to announce that Froyo will be out for your captivate devices tomorrow.
Thanks guys,
TwitterSamsungJohn
Long overdue, but thanks for the heads up SJ. Holding my breath.... haha
Been to Sir Lanka lately?
What about Gingerbread? We've had Froyo for a while, despite it being ported from another Galaxy S phone. AOSP too please? Comon, development has really come to a halt in the Galaxy S threads... We need more ROMs then just Touchwiz. If not touchwiz, then at least the newest version announced on the S2. Thanks...
That's why HTC in my opinion, is getting all the developer love.
Kernel Sources
Frequent Updates
No touchwiz-crap
They SUPPORT cyanogen and other devs.
They get AOSP ROM's, so they can have Sense, stock, honeycomb, MIUI... ect. HTC really doesn't care, as long as the customer is satisfied.
Hardware is generally the same. Please stop putting slightly modified versions of a chip in EVERY single phone. This really slows down updates and development. Example: the HTC Desire HD. The AT&T version is the Inspire 4G, same hardware, design, but only an audio chip is different. Guess what? Sources are being released, now all the ROM's, mods, kernels, all work together across what seems to be multiple devices.
GPS-GPS-GPS. Please, release a fix that allows the phone to lock on in a few second like every other phone in the market?

Yeah... Facebook let us know already. How about releasing some source for KB1 so the devs can get to work? I am missing Supercurio's Voodoo sharpness and sound something aweful

Thank you Sir. Great news!
Do you know if this release does anything to fix the GPS?

on the source
you guys posted the epic source to the opensource page 3-5 days before the official push.
The faster, as in today please =) , that you guys post the captivate source the quicker you will start rebuilding relationships here and re-ingriate yourself in the XDA environment.
Any chance of the i897 source uploading to Opensource.samsung.com today?
Re-purposing this thread for those who are engaged in porting ICS 4.0.1 to HeroC.
Please try to keep this thread clean and restrict posts to topics relevant to getting ICS ported to the HeroC. It will make it much easier to focus on the effort at hand if we can refrain from the usual "When will it be done"; "Yay!"; "I know this isn't the right place"; "10char / +1" and "Me too!" posts.
If you have a burning need to express your joy, dismay, ambivalence or random thoughts, consider sending a PM, which I will make a best effort attempt to respond to within 180 days, time and weather permitting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the code isn't completely on the git servers yet? I heard devs should wait for the OK that everything is ready.

Well I got the source synced and I moved some of the heroc stuff from cyanogenmod but still having some problems with lunch.
Code:
build/core/combo/TARGET_linux-arm.mk:39: *** Unknown ARM architecture version: armv6j. Stop.
Looks like it'll take a little more work before getting it to compile. I haven't had time to look at anything yet, took forever to get the source. But looks like we might have to port it to armv6 as google only worked on armv7 builds. I'll work on it more tonight, but I'm sure the real devs will have it compiling by then
Hi all,
Please let us know what you think.

How about release some source or at the very least something that will help devs speed things up with ice cream? We paid for the phone, we want everything we can get.

very interesting...
sign me up Scotty
Somewhat interesting, I have registered on the new Developer site, however it seems to be geared more towards app developers, with little of use to those doing platform work (AOSP bringups including Cyanogenmod porting, kernel development, etc.)
There are no IC datasheets, and no source code for test firmwares such as UCKL2 for the Infuse (SGH-I997).
Stickied for the time being
Thanks for the news. I will check it out to see if it is a good choice for beginning devs. It might also be interesting for me to learn more specifically regarding my Samsung phone.
does it mean,
some people develop ROM or app together?
make money?
you don't make ROM for money, if you do, you don't belong in XDA

Very well said! It seem like Samsung have just discovered all the free work force to produce code that is much better than their own. Now they wanna tap into this, without giving anything of value in return.
How about dropping some spec-sheets on the HW level and some source code to their drivers, instead!?
Damnit, i'll have to learn some programming now! To the Batmobile!
+1 for "spec-sheets on the HW level and some source code to their drivers"
..especially for devices like Galaxy 3 (i5800/i5801), which (apparently), you are not going to update now on.
Sounds Cool
sounds pretty interesting, ill check out the youtube video.
Thanks for the news.
Would be nice if the video talked specifically about developing ROMs, especially AOSP-based...
useful info
merge samsung and htc rom?
hi i somewhat enjoy my samsung charge except for the predictive txt sucks i want exactly how the htc has theirs can anyone give me some info on merging these things i want to build or tweak a rom for the charge also currently downloading all the sdk stuff about to run over to samsung dev site and see if i can get into that also.
Great
great stuff, keep up the good work!
Seems like a great initiative from Samsung
The Defy community is the most united one in xda and I'm so sad that now I'm gonna have to leave it. I've brought my dream phone, the Nexus 4 yesterday. But before I go, I'm open sourcing Vibhinna, the Multiboot Manager, just in case someone want to resume the stalled multiboot development. Here you go..
https://github.com/royale1223/Vibhinna
Thanks for your work.
Can you write a small "how to compile" from source?

It's pretty easy if you know your way around adt. Just add HoloEverywhere and ActionbarSherlock libs and clear all the lint warnings.

Exactly how i feel! Even i bought a nexus 4 yesterday. Had an awesome experience with the defy+, especially the forum. All the devs were amazing to make our phone go places. So glad it was my first android device.
Folks,
for those who may or may not know, my name is sooti, i've been a dev here building Android since 2012. I've build roms for galaxy s1, s2, s5, LG G3, Nexus 10 and more. In all of the device communities I've worked in, the majority of devs were nice, caring and were open to sharing the knowledge and helping out if needed, and I was always willing to do the same and have on many occasions. I have never hidden my work and have always immediately committed my solutions to github to help others develop faster and help the community grow, but since I got my Xiaomi A1 I've met a whole new brand of developers, who only care about getting credit and glory, have no interest in helping their fellow devs and even if and when they do, they force them to keep the code to themselves as well.
I will not name any names, but I think you can guess who, I am part of a team of devs, TEAM OREO, who have been working on our own to bring a fully working dt to the public and keep it open source, while another group has a fully working open source and is insisting on keeping the device tree to themselves. and while this doesn't violate Android rules per say, it violates the very spirit of AOSP and of XDA more then anything. We may understand companies like Xiaomi, Samsung, LG etc not sharing the rest of their source code due to monetary concerns but here at xda none of us are getting paid for our time, we are all working together to bring great projects to life for free for all to enjoy and modify and build new roms.
It really saddens me to see this and hope this is limited to this device only, although I suspect there may be some other XIaomi devices with the same bad devs.
My team and I will continue to work hard to bring you great roms and 100% open source so that you to can contribute and help this community grow.
We are currently looking for devs to help us get Camera working, which is the only thing missing, please contact me via PM and we will add you to our telegram group.
I hope to see better things in the future,
viva open source!
Sooti,
XDA developer and android enthusiast
We are also looking for testers. If you are interested, please ping me on Telegram. Make sure you know basic stuffs like taking logcat n all ?.
Regards,
#TEAMOREO
Thanks for all the work you have done for the community. I'm proud of the work TEAM OREO is bringing for the Mi A1 community and as a contributor to open source myself, I wish every other developer for the device would follow suit. I know this is just the beginning of the development phase of the device but I'm sure that other developers that will work on the phone will probably see your post and agree wholeheartedly. As a community, we must work together. There's no doubt that some people want all the praise and thanks from everyone. That's not how open source works. We aim to provide enhancements to our devices that the manufacturers are not able to give. And helping provide open trees for all is key.
I'm not giving up on the community. But I really want it to flourish. Thanks for all of your help in making this device one of the best I've ever owned.

Yes I agree truly
TeamOreo will sure make bugless ROM soon
I have never seen such developers in my life who worked at late night to fix bugs @sooti @kunalshah @pranavbedre these guys worked very hard to bring initial Oreo
Hope this team gonna rock one day
Keep going and let's hope there's a valid reason behind for not releasing DT as of now.Looking forward for more ROMs TeamOreo!
@sooti
You and team oreo are here, so it's not so bad!
Thread closed
Point made, but this thread has only one direction of travel on it and its not a good one.
Thread re-opened at OP request.
However, i have cleaned the thread and if this thread goes the way i expect i will close it for good.

You guys have no rights to ask for the source when you won't contribute anything to the source. All you guys are going to do is use it for other ROMs which will end up having the same bugs as the current LOS builds. So here's my two cents, wait till everything is stable, SELinux enforcing and then the source will be available to the public as Abhishek has said.

Give them some respect dude...they aren't some amateurs trying to copy form some elses work they have already published their tree and where is tree of los15.1 ?
All other roms have their trees published which helps other developers to fix the bugs and help the rom become stable.but if every one wants to keep the glory and credit for themselves the community will get worser and worser

Your ok, I was actually talking to the guys before you
I came over from the axon 7 forums about a week ago. i have been on the boards and dealing with android since the days of the logitech review {honeycomb i believe}. my take on the maturity here contravenes the gungho nature I have generally observed on this message board. it reminds me of what I imagine a 50 cent water army would act like when not in the office. i normally just sit in the back and observe read and learn as I go but since this is turning into group conflict it is my place to speak up. Sooti, guys I am with you in seeing the same sad state of affaira. this is definately not how civilization is built. but worse case scenario if spoilers at the table opt for self-interest over interest of the community, thereby causing entropy and disintigration, you will be able to find me over on the cyrillic android board with base in .ru they have good comraderie generally and thats across device forums as far as I can observe.
Thanks for bringing that up front straight. I came over as a user from Galaxy S devices in the hope that the MI A1 would flourish on a free and open (source) community spirit. Unfortunately things are even worse here. I don't have the time to contribute as a developer but I'd like you guys to know that I'm very thankful for your team's openess and your effort to bring true open source to this device and not let personal intrests and politics get in the way.

Hey I've known @abhishek987 from Redmi Note 3 forums and he's contributed greatly to LOS for the device and developed one of the most stable ROM(Ressurection Remix) on RN3.
So give him some time, like said earlier he's holding it until the bugs are ironed out. So many ROM threads already created with the same bugs, what's the point.
He's working hard on our device and not asking for any money. Give him space
