Please only reply to this thread if you feel you have what it takes to cook, port, or fix a custom rom.
We all want rom's, and we all want to flash things it's why we signed up for this site and follow it so closely. Now, the atrix 2 community is short handed on devs so we need people who will step up to the plate and help with this. For now, all I need from you is a reply to this thread. So that you can get your name out there and be known by Jim and myself. I will help you along the way to building your roms. DO NOT be afraid to ask for help. The best place to ask for help is in a reply to a thread so that other members searching for info can find answers to the same question's. You may also PM me at anytime I will respond as quickly as I can and I WILL go out of my way to help. Jim is also a great help and much more fluent in the linux environment then myself. So come on peeps we have a great device here, its time to make it shine!

As stated I am here too, and I will also respond to PMs as well, and I am willing to put in what is needed to help anyone out with cooking, or Linux / Android OS questions.
Let the Development begin to flow!
Yes, I also vote to make this a sticky. To our MODs: Please?
I've talked with Jim about this as well and I will be trying to start on something next week but can't guarantee a timeframe since I will be starting this brand new. I will also be trying to port over a theme or two as well.
I CAN PROMISE LOTS OF QUESTIONS THOUGH!!

I would like to try my hand at making/porting a ROM, I have experience with Linux/Unix. Is there a resource for learning the ropes of making a ROM?
still waiting for my atrix, but count me in .. I'm quite familiar with linux but never develop any ROMs..
I'd like to try and help.
Hey guys, I just want to re-open this call for help.....
I know that both lfaber06 and I are swamped with day to day stuff as well as things in here, and we also have cogery helping out, and JRW28 has jumped in and done a couple of things as well.
Thanks cogeary and JRW 28 for all the help so far!
We really need some people to jump in and help with ROM development and porting, no experience needed, just the desire to give it a shot, and some time to spare and have fun with it.
I have been unable to work on any ROM building/porting in quite a while, since I am working on some very low level hacks, if you want to know something I am working on, it is the same thing kohlk and a few others are working on, for the razr and bionic. I am not ready to reveal anything yet, because I don't want Moto or AT&T to catch wind and block in the next release. I am getting closer to this, and it is something I have been working on in here since day one, so most of you know, with out me saying anything, what this is.... don't ask in this thread what it is, PM me instead if you must know.
If you want to and are able to help, with ROM building/porting, reply here, and send a PM to lfaber06 and I, and lets hopefully get some more stuff flowing.
Thanks!

I'm willing to be a part of developing for this phone. I do have to admit, while I'm a fair hand at linux, and have the Android SDK set up on both Ubuntu and Windows 7, I have never even begun to try my hand at Android development. I'm familiar with reading code syntax, though I can't actually code, and I know my way around both bash and the windows command line. I am however, gifted with the ability to learn very quickly, and have a lot of time on my hands at the moment, so if there's anyone that can help me along with android development, I'd love to be more of a contributor.
I'm still willing to help in any way I can.
Just pm me n let me know where to begin, I'm always willing

I'm willing and consider myself able. I'll do some reading and research over the weekend. I typically have three hours a night through the week free (est). If there is a starting point you think we should focus on outline it. We could start independently and go from there.

I have received everyones PMs, and I want to thank you.
I have not replied yet, because I have sent a PM to lfaber06 and we are figuring out which tasks we need filled right now with the projects we are working on. Once lfaber06 and I have figured it all out, I am hoping later this week, to have it all laid out in a PM to those that have PM'd me.
As im sure most of you all know, I have locked the Unofficial CM10 thread. It isnt because of one person or one event, but something that has been coming for a long time. I have been stressing myself with this build and making sure that everyone was happy and doing pretty much everything i could do, but it didnt seem to be enough. While i appreciate the feedback, it is very disappointing to release cm10.1 when pretty much no other phones have released it (due to the lack of source merged and changes necessary for jellybean 4.2.1) and have nothing but post after post of this doesnt work and this doesnt look right and this is running horrible and blah blah blah even after i made it absolutely clear time after time that there may be issues since there is alot of source changes that are missing. You would think that since i took the time to merge the needed changes and work tirelessly to make changes and get the changes merged into our device/kernel trees to get CM 10.1 built and IMO running nicely, there would be alot of positive feedback and alot of understanding from the community that there may be little issues here and there since not everything was completely merged in on the CM side, but that was not the case as everyone expects perfection right and nothing else. Anyways, with that said, Building CM10 was becoming more of a job instead of something fun that i loved to do. And believe me... I havent had nearly enough donations to be ok with considering this a job... Nor do i expect alot of donations and for those of you who have supported me, I greatly appreciate it. I WILL CONTINUE to build CM10 and posting new builds on my goo page found HERE. I will not however be unlocking the CM10 thread. So... If you like my work and like my builds, keep an eye on my goo page and download when you are notified there is an update. If you like the build, great... if not, flash something else.

Just wanted to put my two cents in...I've been an avid user of the roms from this site for quite awhile now & have never felt the need to register because any issues I've ever had,I've been able to rectify with some searching or have been on roms that have clearly stated they were beta's & expected to have flaws. That being said...after watching what happened on your infuse board, I just wanted to let you know the fact that you're continuing to develop & keep our phones updated with the best features gave me the first true reason to register so I could say thanks...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Thank You.
I don't blame Scott for having the thread closed, not one bit.
And Dani is correct, Scott's character flaw is only that he's missing the "asshole" gene that some tend to have.
Now on to the good part...
I'm getting back into the swing of things as far as porting and development goes. My first attempt is going to be a nearly pure AOSP build using Aries repos and some Maguro/Takju code base, with parts from the most recent CM10.1 base. I have an idea of what I want to incorporate, but it should be light and clean, with a smooth interface.
Scott, I will be in touch with you shortly on this, as I need to finish and finalize my SDK installs and get everything going correctly for a first build.
Just checked Scotts goo link. Can I safely assume the development continues? If so hallelujah the infuse lives on.

Most of the people that posted just wanted insight on their issues. Personally, I posted there because I felt I wasn't getting any response in the Q&A thread.
I think we should learn from the miscommunication.
One of the bigger problems we faced was that the build thread was the most responsive place to get an answer, and the bugs people had weren't clearly documented somewhere (you can't tell someone to search 500+ pages, find a bug, match it to their build, etc) so they could find and know NOT to post about it.
Going forward, maybe we can have:
Build thread- keep updated on the status of the build
Bug thread- to review / report the current build bugs
Q&A thread- how do I rotate the screen, why is this doing that, etc
Thoughts?

But Scott specifically asked multiple times not to post bugs on the 4.2/cm10.1 releases due to the fact that source is still being merged -cm said themselves that the 4.2 code would be buggy and that you probably wouldn't be able to build anything with it...for the most part Scott proved both of those wrong
However I do like the idea of the three threads

Yes, he will keep developing, but don't expect to see updates on this forum, which is a shame. His CM10 thread was actually the only reason I got on XDA.

For the most part I agree with you. Its why I probably pissed a bunch of people off defending the late comers and those that just don't know about logcats and such.
However, it was stated multiple times by not just Scott but the more senior and knowledgeable members that the 4.2 was going to have problems.
I agree searching through 1000 plus posts can be a daunting task and maybe I just don't have a life but I've done it for every ICS/JB rom I've flashed.. But I was there at the beginning of that development so it made it easier. But you didn't have to read more than 2 pages between warnings for the 4.2.
I'm on Scott's side on this one.
If nothing else click on the op's profile and just read all their posts.
Personally I think only devs should be allowed to post on a dev thread but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
I agree. I think there should be a minimum post count of 100 and a requirement to agree to a separate 'contract' to post in dev. threads. I read dev threads to find out what's going on in development not the rubbish that appears in most dev threads. The infuse forums have been fairly tolerant of this kind of thing. Other forums on xda, much less so.

Changelog
I think another part of the problem is that very little actual development discussion happens here. It seems that people release their stuff here, and respond to bug reports, but that's about it. You can learn a lot about Linux by reading the archives of the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML). It's not quite the same situation here, learning about android is much harder (i have yet to find an android equivalent for the LKML)
Anyway, Thanks for continuing development! Will you be posting a change log between releases? I just like to know what I'm flashing ahead of time
Thanks,
woody
Scotts just released CM10.1 on goomanager 12/10 build go check it out
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Scott,
Glad to see you will be still be developing. Will there be some type of change log somewhere that we can view? I agree with some of the past. 500 pages of posts to read/search is alot. possibly a better brake down would have keep people posting in the correct places. Also with the 4.2 merge MY opionion would have been to make a separate thread as the last 4.1.2 was stable and really usable as its still my current daily. If the items arent merged maybe it isnt a good idea to even make a realease unless its to a few beta testers. That way 100s of people dont whine and complain about known or dumb issues.
Either way keeep up the good work.
Not sure how it would be accomplished, but a good idea would be to remove all posts from the cm10 thread and only scott could post in it (updates/changelog).
I have no idea how feasible that would be though.
Many thanks to scott
Hi scott, I never felt the need to comment in your thread because I never had any problems with your ROM.
But now I feel the need to comment here to express my gratitude for all the hard work that you have put into this ROM.
Your ROM is the first one that I tried, and also the best one I've seen/used. I'm VERY glad that you will continue your work for the Infuse.
Again, I thank you for your work, and I will be looking forward to future updates!

I generally just read through the thread reading peoples issues if i ran into one rather than post. Issues were always sorted out if i kept reading. But thanks for all your hard work in creating roms, I know i'd be really bad off without them :good:
I think the communication and forum issues are simply a result of using a forum for "developer collaboration". Then to top it off, many are using tapatalk, which has the most useless search feature ever. I've heard the argument that a proper browser should be used, but many just won't.
As long as a forum is used for xda development, it will continue to be more like a ROM forum than anything else intended without ridiculous amounts of moderation (even judicious use of temp bans without warning).
Forums are good for arguing lol. Bugtrackers are good for tracking bugs, especially since they are easy to police. If you want feedback as well, make a special category for that. Duplicates and invalid reports can be easily identified and marked as such. For all other forums(general, q&a, accessories, etc.) a forum makes sense to me. For the development forum, a forum, IMO, makes little sense.
If the forum format is used in order to foster community, fine. You can expect a lot of drama, arguing, complaining, and everything else that goes along with it.
Just my opinion. I could be completely wrong.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app lol
I was just posting results of a new kernel I tried today and it dawned on me that the structure of these forums are not very good for giving feedback to devs or having devs receive feedback without digging through pages and pages of people having the same problems, but not searching. Then, people who want to try the rom/kernel/whatever ask "is this working for anyone?" since all they can see is problems people are having. Then, you'll generally get 1 or 2 posts confirming that everything works for 1 or 2 people, then back to problems that have already been addressed or are from improper set up (not wiping/wrong hboot/etc).
Now, that's how xda has been running pretty much since day 1. And that's all well and good, but if you want to try out the new version of cyanogenmod, for example, the first thing you do is check to be sure there aren't any major bugs that might turn your device into a paper weight. So you start reading every post on the development thread. After getting to page 15 and reading about all of the problems people are having for whatever reason, you day forget it and stick with whatever you were using before.
See, the issue here is that when a rom/kernel/whatever works, only a couple of people will confirm it. When someone had a specific problem, it may be just them, or others may be having it as well.
You can thank people, but what if you could +1 their posts to signify that you are having the same issue, or to simply agree that everything is working without adding clutter to the thread? Seems silly to just keep posting "this worked /didn't work for me too".
Thoughts? Comments?
Viper Rom baby!
Bump
Viper Rom baby!
Sounds like a good ideea .
As you said , if is a lot easier just to see if , for example , a given solution is working by seeing how many ppl confirmed that it is working ( and not reading the next 20 pages of comments ).
You have my +1 on this
Haha thanks for the feedback. I think devs could have a dummy post just saying "everything works!" right on the first page that people could +1.
Also, this does seem to work kind of like a poll on a thread does, but the issue with polls is that they take up a lot of space, they aren't viewable on apps like tapatalk (AFAIK anyways), and you can't change your vote. Any other thoughts? Who would I bring this to to make it happen?

Hi everybody...I just moved on to this device and even if I've read this section for awhile and knew there's not much development I still have hope.
So, I've discussed with some people I know and there is at least the will to try to develop something. @javelinanddart made some nice kernels for my old device and he wants to make a CM ROM for S6 Edge. I know there were other attempts and I know they failed (at least here I couldn't find anything else).
He needs testers...and when I say tester I mean no newbies or users that just want to be cool..real, good testers. Someone who's able to flash and test kernels and ROMs, someone who has some medium to advanced knowledge and of course knows how to flash, take logcats and things like that. So don't jump in if you think you're not qualified. Devs are more than welcome to join this if they want to.
We would like to start a specific Hangouts chat for that to be easier to communicate, there will be NO public releases untill at least a bootable build is made. As with any other development, there is a small risk of bricking the device if something goes wrong but that's a risk we all know and accepted when we start flashing. So once again, THIS IS NOT FOR NEWBIES, please don't even think about asking to be a tester if that's the case.
If there is anyone interested, please let me know by posting here and send your Hangouts contact via PM (I don't want to have a public disclosure of personal info)
Also if there is detailed info about development for this device like kernel sources, device trees, vendor files and so on, please post the GITHUB links, it'll help the development.
Thank you...

Thanks for posting this. The kernel will probably be stock kernel with a few patches, i'll be releasing source for that immediately, however, the trees will be closed till we can get a booting build, once it boots, and maybe fix a few issues, I'll leave it there because I don't own the device (however clicking the donate buttons a few hundred times if you like the project might resolve that ) Screenshots can be posted here, and updates on what works or if it boots or not can be posted here, but most of the discussion will be in the google hangouts chat.
I'm looking mostly at @BMc08GT's stuff right now, and mythos.... something I can't remember.

I'm in for testing. I've been doing this sort of stuff since Android version 0.7 on the HTC Vogue, so I'm no stranger to the type of effort involved. I'll PM you my Hangouts details now.
I am up for testing on s6 edge g925f
Um, if I'm not mistaken both GS6 Flat and Edge have the same hardware so maybe you can make this thread in Flat section? It would get to bigger audience. Also what about funding the device to @javelinanddart? I have seen fundraisers couple of times so maybe we will start one here too?

I am a tester for the g925f
I have a g925p, the Sprint edition. If this will be compatible with my device, I'd love to test. I know my way around a logcat haha

I recently got my SG6 edge, i love the phone, it's design, the camera, but i damn touchwiz. it makes the phone look so cheap and laggy. so guys go for it - i'd also help you in testing
Edge and Flat version of Galaxy S6 share the same hardware so Flat version users can also participate in tests I suppose?
I know nothing about development but since we have unified kernels and roms that should be possible I think, right?

Count me in g925f
G925F here, I'd be willing to Test and report any bugs.
How come that you ask for testers while the thread has no pictures or progress ?!!
Do some updates tells what you did or what are you doing at the moment .
G925F , Here.
Any update?
Thank you for your work
I can help by Development and Testing too!
just send me a PM
don't know if you know about this :

What's the point of this? Why you're sharing the ROM without my permission? Couldn't you just create a post in the LineageOS 12.1 thread with the link (instead creating the new thread - what I was going to do soon..-)?
At this point I'll release LineageOS 14.1 as-is tonight (and yes, I'll create my own thread - which was the initial idea.. -) because people doesn't seems to be able to wait for it.
Thanks for sharing my work (can we also say steal?) without my permission :good:

btw,
12.3. Re-releasing other's works as your own is forbidden. The code that you release into the wild must have something beyond minor aesthetic changes that makes it better than the last. As this can be subjective, kang reports will be reviewed on a case by case basis. If you feel that your code has been kanged, please contact the Dev Relations team (listed below) if you cannot solve the issue amicably via PM. Please understand that you will be asked to provide evidence to substantiate your claim;

Let me just clear the air here. Fisrtly, one cannot "steal" something that is openly, publicly and freely available on github. In regards to the legal mumbo jumbo you posted, makes 0 sense to me and means nothing, since that is not the case we have here. I never once re-released anything, nor said anything about taking credit for the work you did. I simply put the rom together from open source materials, just as anyone in the world can /could do and released something that was not built and released. Big differences there. Now, had I hacked your github and started building and releasing your private folders, then what you are talking about would be on par with what you are posting. Long story short, I found the source, built the rom and tested it. I then uploaded the Rom and was in the middle of making this Main post when I came across your cm12.1 post mentioning 14.1. I then tagged you out of mutual respect for your work and personal feelings so that I would make sure that I wasn't stepping on your toes. I now know your feelings and that I am stepping on your toes. Because I have respect for you and your work, I have no problem deleting this thread and the Rom. Just didn't make sense to me at the time that somebody had done all that work and released no rom, so I thought I would be nice and help people out. The better thing to maybe have done, for the benefit of others confusion, is to make the 14.1 thread ahead of time, even if it's blank until release. Silly one would have to read hundreds of pages of cm12.1 stuff to get the gist of what's going on with unrelated 14.1 stuff. I do Apologize for any confusion on my part and any bad feelings you may now harbor. The Rom is your work and now that I know the timeline of things, I'll back off and let you handle it. I will be focusing on getting out more recoveries to compliment your rom. The recovery kernel is built using your sources but the device tree for it was fully made by me, so no confusion there. Again, sorry for basically beating you to the punch of your own release. Like I said, had I not read the cm12.1 posts, I never would have had a clue to any of this. Hopefully you can accept my apologies, move forward and be friends...

Hi,
Yes, you're completely right there (my bad): you can't actually steal something that is public in the web (I'll try to keep my future work in private repos until it's stable then). I was just really pissed off to see someone shared the ROM that I was working on (so hard for almost 6 months) in a new thread without even waiting for me to allow you or something. But whatever, no offence here (I accept your apologies) and as I previously said (telegram) thanks for understanding my decision and thanks for deleting the ROM. I'll try my best to get stable 14.1 working as fast as possible and I'll release it once it's ready. If people really wants to try the beta of LineageOS 14.1 I'll create an special post in the 12.1 thread with all the stuff later.
About the recoveries I know you just used my kernel tree, I was talking about the device tree/vendor tree you used to build 14.1 (which are the ones I've been working on this months).
Regards and sorry for the confusion.
Hey Rortiz2.

That would make sense. If you do not want to publish your ROM yet fire at least a non-open beta to get the ROM faster and more stable. Let me know if I can support you here in any way.
I would love to be able to test lineage 14.1 on this device, I have been using 12 on it since it released
