Donate a device for sense 4.0

Guys i talked to mkalter who ported sense 4.0 to all samsung devices. He said he will port sense 4.0 to our device. So start donating guys..
Vishal we need your help

Hey,
If you donate a Galaxy SL, you can have Sense 4.0 on your Galaxy SL in a week !

Would absolutely LOVE Sense 4.0 on my SL... *saliva drips from mouth* I would definetly donate some money but unfortunately i am a 14 year old with no income Hope this can happen soon :good::laugh:
Also, would this Sense 4.0 port be based on ICS?
Here's a video of Sense 4.0 port on Galaxy S3... looks EXACT! https://www.dropbox.com/s/qfuvp3fapwr880a/VID_20120617_215939.mp4

why we should donate to someone for a incomplete rom? Why don't we donate to someone who can fix major bug in AOSP and AOKP rom such as video recording?

I think we should leave that up to the actual donaters, after all, they ARE the ones who are donating.

Keep your negative views away, please.
If everything stops because there are bugs, we would have no roms whatsoever, everything get's fixed by various developers, in different projects.
I support this and would definitely donate some money later this next month if no body can donate their device.

Thanks, that video is a video from our team, we also have some vids of our Galaxy S, Epic 4G, Galaxy SII and Galaxy Nexus. If you wanna see those, go to youtube and search for them.

buddy i really respect ur work. But problem is we have donated nearly 4 devices till now. But still we haven't got a fully stable aosp rom with everything work in it. Sense UI is really superb but more than that we have some tough core issues like vdo recording, kernel 3.0, fully working wifi modules, excess battery drain etc. Now most of the people want these core issues to be solved first & then move forward to some fancy stuff porting...! Even if we port a future version of sense 5.0 but whats the use of such a phone if that have above core issues...!
Its just my opinion. If anybody disagree with it then i am sory for that. I respect everybody's opinion.

I disagree, and i will tell you why.
Fixing "core" issues is in dhiru's and hillbeat's hands right now (including other contributors), so if we get sense or not, it won't make a difference.
ANY rom ported will have these issues, but when they get fixed in the base which is CM9, all other ports will also get fixed.
So this contribution is nothing but positive.
Just my 0.02$

ya...u are rite. Then why not to donate a phone to a developer who can do more than sense porting...! I mean to say developer already said he will port sense in just one week. But after that...u will not get anything new. Same thing was happened in case of fuss. That time he promised to port ICS but he ported only miui which is incomplete till now & phone was lying on his table with no developement. That time also I had tried to tell people not donate phone to fuss but nobody listened me.
So instead of this donate a phone to talented developer like dhiru who can do some real development contineously with good updates which will help dhiru & hillbeast also.

+1 to that vishal...I think if ever we donate another phone it should he someone like dhiru or fuss who can work on the core issues of AOSP or something not for another from(sorry and I don't mean any disrespect whatsoever) because I think fixing the core bugs is what we need and our guys have ported many rooms with minimum knowledge but out core issues seem untouched...
Sorry I meant no disrespect but I think we don't want more people complaining about laggy roms and video recorder not working again and again in different forums

Isnt there any way such that the person who lives near to the developers house could provide him the phone for a week or so... Not for whole day but just for few hours the developer would work on it...
And if in case the phone got hard bricked then maybe we can donate the phone to original person...
Or maybe supposedly dhiru is not working on sl these days, maybe he could transfer his phone to the sense developer. I just took dhiru's name bcoz he is popular. It can be any other dev who has the donated device..

^^^^dude the person is in Netherlands and transportation and everything is a pain in the ass....and u know we all will he so eager that we ll end up irritating if the shipment reached or not
I think we ought to wait for our main issues to be solved than keep on donating devices....u know jelly bean is just round the corner and cm10 development ll start soon so I think fixing cm9 bugs and getting 3.0 kernel and getting official cyanogen mod updates should be our top priority

when there is a need than it will be a provider, so, our members who willing to donate to get a sense 4, and sense 4 actually maybe come to us, let it be, it is no point to argue about should or should not.

i dun know much about the coding, maybe we need a stable CM9 or kernel 3 to do so, IMO, we even dun have stable stock kernel, what for we create another unstable port for? if we need CM9 and kernel 3 for sense 4, we will start another suffering of bugging process. and is the sense 4 competible to our hardware, is that only the issue of software only? i dun know. what i know is, we have crap camera driver and 4Gb of internal ram.

Absolutely correct...! Once I had talked with dhiru over a telephone call. He told me that custom rom based on cm9 is not imp for him. He is interested in fully working cm9 with most of the core bugs fully fixed. If once we achieve that then people can take that perfect cm9 rom as base & modify it as per their need. Thats why we always use most stable kpq or kp3 as base rom for creating custom rom & not laggy buggy rom xxle4. There is no point in using incomplete cm9 rom.

The CM9 ROM will be done anyways if sense is here or not, i do myself think that donating a phone just for sense is pointless (i won't use it anyways, just sayin').
So it really depends on how many people want sense, so if you don't want to donate, don't post.
If someone wants to donate, go on, i myself might or might not donate.
So let's end the discussion here , i agree with both of you.

Totally agreed. Core issued need too fixed. And then if we get a base ROM, we can do Ports and use the kernel and firmware fort further tweaking as desired
P.S. I'm from India and still don't earn and I only possess this phone right now. But still, I would be eager to donate the device to any developer who needs this for development (preferably if it helps everybody and if the developer is nearby who can return it back after the development is done or if somebody can arrange for some other phone for my usage).
I'm not in general a fan of sense, though I appreciate HTC devices, but even other launchers make this phone a charm. (presently using nova)
Kudos to the developers again

I hope you misunderstood me..

I think everyone has the right to an opinion and everyone has the right to hear other people's opinions before donating their hard earned money. So please, don't go telling each other to not write anything and don't think you have any right to "end discussions".
As for Sense 4.0, I think it'd be great to have the option, but I also think that there are many people out their who already have the device and the skills to do the porting. I think mkalter should post his know-how on the forum, if he hasn't done so already, so that others can get working on this. This is an open-source OS and we're on a forum filled with talented people capable of doing this. I see no reason to waste resources (airplane space, money, time, etc..) on shipping a device.

"You don't have any rights to end discussions."
Anyone with a brain will end it without anyone telling them.
If you don't want to donate "your hard earned money" then just don't do it and leave the topic.
All of the arguing here is just SPAM, it has no goal and will keep going to the end of time.
"This is an open-source OS"
It is an open source OS, how does that change anything..?
If it was that easy, then why don't we have a complete CM9? why can't anyone port sense? You do it then.. show us what you can do, stop bashing developers and posting useless posts that just flames anyone trying to help.
Your post clearly offends mkalter by saying "a forum filled with talented people capable of doing this", what does that mean? You are saying that he isn't talented?
So yes, i think everyone here can think and stop posting for now.
This will be my last post in this topic.

stock UCLB3 > any other ROM

With stock ROM I get:
• 2-3 day battery life
• All apps work
• Strongest signal
• 100% working wifi
• fastest overall, zero load time for almost everything
• and finally I don't need to install gapps or anything
With any other ROM I get:
• Possibly 1 day battery life
• Orgasm if I get any signal at all
• Wifi works completely on one in a billion roms, flaky on most
• Bluetooth rarely works
• No fix for any issues on ROMs that don't have major devs working on them
• Some apps don't work, and on a few ROMs some apps even kill the system and make it hot reboot
• Lag like it's a 3-year-old donut phone with the processor speed of a retarded potato with AIDS
• some need gapps, which is annoying to re-install every time you update, which also, you have to do every few days instead of once a year
So my conclusion is that screw custom ROMs. It might just be my device but that's how it plays out. I'll be much more careful to buy a phone that will have real support in the future, like the SGS II, Captivate, and SGS III do/will have.
Oh yeah and about my sig, that is the only ROM that I've gotten close to working 100%. And he's not a gtg, but he's got more support than big devs like that ever did, so if you're a sheep and need to use custom ROMs go with MoM.
/rant

I apologize, but I strongly detest the statement. I do respect every bit of what you have said, but I really do think that it is just a matter of personal use.
I have ran Aeon and other amazing custom ROMs and so far the best I have tried was Zeus 6. There are a few kinks, but hey-- it works!
Consequently, though, it's all a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer the debloated stock and customize it their own (i.e., build.prop tweaks, etc).
What I am getting at here is that there is no need to bash other custom ROMs. Although you did not point your finger on any specific one, but it really means a lot for people to like the developers' work. It's an Android Device... This is the main reason we got this: open source.

I get the opposite results of u bro... my lag on stock is sooo bad that I was about to throw my phone on the ground as hard as I could. Ics with some tweaks was awesome, jellybean should be really good if it ever comes. Now on my tablet stock on that is pretty good, with aosp it would fly though.

Trolling like this is unproductive and is intended only to offend those who contribute to this device. My vote is that someone close this thread, and that wayzata start keeping his opinions of devs to himself.

Make sure you zip it up, this is going to be one of those threads, chief haha

Plus, I agree with ryanscool, any time I have to use stock B3, everything is laggy. Personally, I think that Sammy just did such a crappy job on official GB and used halfass or dirty fixes to make it work. So when ppl try to mod, the crappiness comes out...
There are tons of work being done on the Infuse and I was here when ppl said development was dead; you gotta appreciate what's here man.
My advice Way, stay with stock and stop these random threads broskie

I honestly don't see any xda recognized developers replying to your posts. They most likely have better things to do. I'm no dev, and haven't claimed to be. I'm not mad or even remotely upset, but I do think that you're being a troll. It irritates me enough that you're one of the few people that I'll ever choose to ignore on this site - and I must say, for me, that takes a lot, so congratulations on that.
By the way, here's what you've said directly, and it implies plenty to justify people being irritated with your trolling.:

Anyone still using this? I'm using it as a last option because no custom ROMs seem to be working as fully as this. ICS has a ton of bugs, and modified GB ROMs are made by unpopular devs with little bug support.

Custom Roms are not for everyone so if you prefer a stock rom then go for it.

Custom ROMS

I really do appreciate all the hard work DEVS put into building ROMS. But I really get frustrated with very buggy ROMS or ROMS not stable for daily use being released WITHOUT IT BEING KNOWN. I mean forgive me if I am wrong but how can someone build a stock ROM and make it run worse than stock? I'm not trying to criticize negatively, but am I alone on this? I think everything about a ROM should be posted on the OP. Not just some stuff but everything like "Known issues" "What doesnt work" and "bugs" should be the first thing we see instead having to look for it and being linked to other sites and what not. I am not trying to sound ungrateful but I really depend on ROMS and would start to DEV myself but find myself too busy providing for my family. I donate when I can and appreciate all the work but maybe there should be a category for only "Stable ROMS" and "Daily Drivers"

in my opinion except Lg devides(Because still I have a Lg), usually stock rom better than costum roms... Almost all costum roms have some problem

Agreed. Just run NoSympathys deodexed, zipaligned, debloated stock rom with imo's v0.1 leankernal...runs amazing..on my way to a 15 hr battery

Run synergy and have bugs in every version? No thanks. Tried it before nosympathy and couldnt switch calls, new version came out 2 days later and had no mms over 160 characters along with settings force close. Its a nice rom, but flashing a new version or fix every other day just doesnt make sense to me.

I have been running Synergy for many versions now and never had any of the issues that people have reported, like GPS lock issues, etc.
The ROM is incredibly fast, I get great battery, and bug free for me!

Synergy 1.3 in my opinion works the best on my phone. No problems with battery,gps,kernels or even theming.

So you try to prove you aren't bad-mouthing by making a negative comment about me??
Furthermore, feedback is specific and constructive. Bringing up issues from old builds that are no longer relevant helps no one and leads to a false impression of how the ROM is TODAY.

This may or may not be true but again, not at all helpful for anyone.
Again, this is a development forum. Things are sometimes broken, half-finished, and often WIP. If you don't like what the devs release, then don't flash it. Your other option is to wait until a dev releases a milestone or stable release. It's really that simple.

Some of these devs are amazing and put out some truly awesome work, however these guys are doing it mostly as a hobby or maybe for donations...but I'll bet they all must work a fulltime job.
The factory roms have probably been dissected by over a dozen or more Sammy peeps before even getting to Red for their further adjustments. Therefore it seems reasonable that the stock roms would be more stable and less buggy. That's common sense!
The custom roms allow user to get rid of unneeded bloat as well as adding in hacks and such. Not to mention almost unlimited theming possibilities.
Every dev inserts a disclaimer in their thread for a reason...YOU INSTALL THEIR ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK! So live with it...or live with stock.

How have you gotten away with not bricking every phone you have ever touched without reading the O.P.?
I really do appreciate all the hard work DEVS put into building ROMS. But I really get frustrated with very buggy ROMS or ROMS not stable for daily use being released WITHOUT IT BEING KNOWN. I mean forgive me if I am wrong but how can someone build a stock ROM and make it run worse than stock? I'm not trying to criticize negatively, but am I alone on this? I think everything about a ROM should be posted on the OP. Not just some stuff but everything like "Known issues" "What doesnt work" and "bugs" should be the first thing we see instead having to look for it and being linked to other sites and what not. I am not trying to sound ungrateful but I really depend on ROMS and would start to DEV myself but find myself too busy providing for my family. I donate when I can and appreciate all the work but maybe there should be a category for only "Stable ROMS" and "Daily Drivers"

I've had multiple rooted phones. I know how to recover possible bricks. I don't ***** about small issues that ARE in fact known and stated. If you need your phone working 100%, then why run custom software that's experimental? I'm amazed YOU haven't bricked yet you negative Nancy.
PS if its not stated in the op, then read the ******* thread and stop being lazy as hell and expecting these guys to do everything for you.....:banghead:

Furthermore, feedback is specific and constructive. Bringing up issues from old builds that are no longer relevant helps no one and leads to a false impression of how the ROM is TODAY.

You nailed it. Addict was the only person having issues with Synergy rom and whined and complained from the start that it was the roms fault. Funny that no one else had the issues that he was having. He obviously dorked something up/restored system data from an old build/installed a bad app/never checked md5s or something of that nature.
Then he goes and makes a thread about buggy roms when we all know exactly what he is referring to and we all know it was his own doing.
For everyone's information, Synergy is an awesome rom and has been since it was released. I have had zero issues outside of what I thought was a gps issue but that was my own mess up. I think a few had a different gps issue and that was it and that has since been solved.
Stop spreading crap info addict. You jacked your system up somehow and it had nothing to do with Synergy rom.
Edit: like others said if you want a "perfect" rom then stick with stock. I just don't understand what your complaint is about. It's not like stock doesn't work and someone is forcing you to flash roms every night.
Sent from my Synergy GS3

Seems the OP got his answer and to prevent further flaming let's just close this.
To the OP, Devs take time away from their family and providing for them to make ROMs out of sheer enjoyment.
They make them for themselves and share them.
It is impossible to find every bug before the ROM is released. Even Samsung can''t do that.
It also takes a lot of time to support a ROM, updating the thread everytime a real bug is found, not just someone who can't flash or mixed in a bad app or data.
You really should try to make your own ROM, release it and support it before making a crappy thread like this.
If you depend on your phone then you should definitely stick to stock and pray there are not bugs unreported there.
Thank you for your cooperation

[Q] stable jellybean

is there such a thing out for the ATT skyrocket yet? On CM 9 stable right now and I am depending on my phone for daily use and task but its killing me that I'm not on the jellybean train yet. Is there a stable jellybean ROM out there yet? or at least close to it which I could use daily for now? Thank you.

the best thing to d would be to test yourself because everyone has a opinion doesnt mean youll like test and find out
and to answer your question personally i havent found one that meets stability for my daily driver.. evem though there will be one soon

I've been running R4INS AOKP JB builds for a while and they're stable for the most part. Something to keep in mind about Jelly Bean vs ICS is that ICS has been officially released for the SR, JB has not, therefore JB will never be 100% stable IMO. My advice: give AOKP a shot for a day or two, or even CM10, and see if what YOU need to work works.
R4INS AOKP build can be found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34092-aokp-unofficial-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-oct-2-jb-build-4/

The roms are STABLE, but they're still works in progress. You need more patience with the JB Roms because they're working off of more generic code that needs to be customized to work with the Skyrocket. The ICS Roms are specific to the Skyrocket (with a few exceptions) so they are much more refined. I tried a few JB roms because my wife has a Galaxy Nexus and I love how smooth it is, but I keep going back to ICS roms because at the moment they are more refined. If you require more stable roms than what is out there then just wait. The Skyrocket is slated to get a JB update, and once it does and the talented developers here get their hands on it, it'll be worth the wait.

Me too. Still some jank, but overall pretty good builds. Stability is pretty subjective when it comes to basically alpha ROMs.

Its working quite well. No issues to report and if there are they seem to be fixed pretty quickly.

I've found the unofficial liquid smooth RC's to be quite stable, besides the occasional screen flicker. RC3 is the latest and I've only been running it for a day, so I cant vouch for it yet, but the screen flicker seems to have been reduced.

Since several people seem interested in turning this into a "best ROM" thread, I'll just drop this on you, OP:
There is NO stable JB ROM for the Skyrocket, period. Many of the JB ROMs out there are close, some very close, but none of them are 100% stable at this point, and none will be until we get an official leak.

There is no stable ROM for JB, you can't make it happen without official source code. Also, as long as people are tinkering, it won't be stable.

Battery life, etc
Yeah I would agree with everyone here, there is no stable ROM, I was running paranoid for a week or so, it ran good but I found myself plugging in my phone all the time. Following the threads closely you will see everyone has different problems with each ROM. Some more then others. I found it stable enough for daily use but as a developer I am probably more tolerable to quirks than most.

i found that the poor battery life seems to be due to the phone never entering deep sleep mode, which is somehow triggered when charging your phone. if i reboot my phone after recharging it, the battery lasts nearly as long as on ICS.
use CPU spy to check if your phone is entering deepsleep mode.

Cm10 just release their nightlies build the other day. I'm running it now without anything wrong. Just sluggish at time and the screen off animation works when it wants to but other than that its solid. Give it a shot

Project butter
Are any of the JB roms out there for the skyrocket... uh... doing project butter? Have it implemented? I'm most curious about that feature.
A quick google search failed to get me anything relevant to my question.

Any ROM in the development section that has 4.1.1, JB, CM10, AOKP JB... actually I see like 6-8 different ROMs that are compiled from a JB source, one of the main features of jelly bean is project butter and its just giving the UI a fast transition and if you played with CM10/AOKP JB for a few days then go back to CM9 you will notice the speed difference. Project butter just makes everything snappier and quick to response which is most likely in every JB rom.

i use sky T-1000 as my daily driver. i keep a nandroid of sky-ICS by the same dev. Sean is hella talented.

Its been great! I haven't stayed on a ROM this long in months. For a while I jumped back and forth between various 4.3 and 4.4 AOSP builds and Sense. This ROM fulfills 95% of what Sense does, and satisfies my need for the bleeding edge.
That's not really a fair comparison since Sense is basically stock, and this is scratch built. I'm amazed at how perfect this can be on 4.4, since so many 4.3 ROMs were either very barebones or on the buggy side. No more reboots or SODs! I think my particular Evita is a little flaky and requires extra voltage to be stable. Hey, I bought it refurbished for $50, so my expectations are low.
I'm very happy with AOKP. I have a Nexus 7 2013 as well, and its very nice to have nearly identical UIs between the two devices.
If only some genius dev could crack in-line headset controls on 3.4 kernels. Maybe we can get a bounty going to speed things up
