I dont knw if i should be asking this or not but where is this guy??
Fuss???
There is so Much Fuss about Fuss...Where is he???
Look at dhiru...working day and night to get stable cm9.. Vishal fighting and asking for help to get a kernal v3.0.. Vurrut also tryng his besst...
But...the question..where is FUSS??? Is he aive or what..
anybody knws where is he???
We don't know and he will appear when he wants. The thing is, we don't pay the devs anything so we can't do anything about it. There is no point in complaining that devs made empty promises, they don't owe us anything, what can we say? I feel it is also wrong to keep on spamming devs about kernel 3.0. Yes it may make a stable cm9. However, devs need the time and resources and it doesn't seem too easy to port kernels. So there is no need to pester the devs. Though fuss hasn't been showing his face, he may either be building something for us, or doing nothing, we can't do anything about it. There isnt much point in complaining about devs I'm afraid. Put yourself in their shoes...
Cheers

Ha ha ha...poor i9100 s2 members ...!! Actually I am quite happy because when people were donating phone to fuss I almost did everything to convince people not to donate fuss as he is just a new in development. But as he had ported ICS sdk people were mad behind him for ICS development & everyone criticized me that time. And now look...where is fuss...!!! He made miui based on cm7 but all we know that JP007 did remaining 90% of work. Just few days ago he released an ICS sm9 based rom but u can clearly see that it was themed cm9 rom of Dhiru. Nothing new in that rom. Donation to fuss is a lesson to those people who dont want to look development history of a perticular developer & blindly believe who make fake promises.

Dont take me in wrong way but I am not agree with u. People are criticizing me because they feel that I am spamming the thread of UC kernel. But I only know one thing that we all donate a phone in expectation that developer will work on those thing for which phone has been donated to them. But if developer is working on something else then cant we have right to tell them what we want...?? Its not that we are paying for them for development. Its about promises & expectations of developer & people who donate them.

Sure go ahead...! Its not a matter of donated money. Its about trust that member showed on him.
Guys I´m here.
I said I will bring MIUI when I came to this device and of course most of the work was done by other people. I really would like to help you in CM9 but I never said I can manage it and I can not fix the bugs that are in it now. And its the same as always you guys can´t read clearly ^^ I said to the people in the S2G community I will bring them MIUI and there was not a word about CM9!
Read then write
Due to the fact that theres nothing to do for me for the Sl I also offered to send my device to a developer for Sl who needs it for free but nobody answered! Nobody! What shall I do more ?!
I really don´t care about a phone that you can buy for 150 euros I will not disappear with it thats not really useful
@fuss132
I didn't quite understand what's not useful.. Hope u didn't mean the phone..
Anyway dude if YOU think ( I mean, completely ur decision) there's nothing u can contribute or u have no time for the i9003 forum, best u give it away..
The i9003 is a small forum and we can't afford to have a donated device lying around without the Dev working on it..
@ all members.
U guys can see from fuss's post above that he is ok with giving away the device., So let's discuss whom to pass it on to if everyone else has no problem with it..

Thanx for intimating us. I think We should ask Dhiru as he is in touch with all developers who are working on cm9 & especially kernel 3.0. I will PM Dhiru about this.

I guess i added fuel to fire... so now we have a free SL.. to anyone who wants to contribute to development...!!
Somebody please thank me for this initiative..

We need to make a correct decision this time, I mean a really proper one. Ask developers (especially Dhiru) who they think can really help in our phone development. And before sending the phone out, ask that particular dev whether he will really commit himself to the development, IMO it is better to have a committed dev rather than a recognized one but with a little time with our phone.
Btw, big thanks to Fuss for all the things that you have done to our phone, and I wish you future success with whatever phone you are developing into

It either means he will not run away with a phone donated to him because it's bad or he will not run away with a donated phone he doesn't even need. I think it's the 2nd one

INTRODUCTION
I am starting this forum in hope of educating my readers about ROM development according to my experiences. Further, I will highlight what is the usual developers' thought process before they decide to build a ROM for a specific device. The reasons why they usually choose a certain device or why they prefer one device over another would also be stated briefly. I also have intention of looking into ways how we can speed up ROM productions for Xperia L and what you can do to play your part.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION FOR NO CUSTOM ROMS EVEN AFTER 7 MONTHS BUT THIS DOESNOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SPAM
I am sure many of you must be really disappointed by the lack of development for Xperia L and I know this must be frustrating when we see other devices are getting ROMS so quickly. However, sad to put this into writing that many users have indulge into SPAMMING and I have not seen a more unorganised forum at XDA for a while. I know many are too excited when they find a little about any OTA/ Custom ROM and sharing such news is fully justified after it seems plausible. However, it's beyond my logic & thinking why the forums are SPAMMED for any little information they might find anywhere regardless of their sources or if it has been ALREADY POSTED. I reckon many of these threads could have been avoided by simply searching in the forum.
ROM DEVELOPMENT
I can assure you that many develoeprs are working very hard to PORT and develop different ROMS for Xperia L. However, the reason we can not see any CUSTOM roms till yet is due to complicated nature of Xperia L itself.
Usually developers prefer a device which is :
1. Easy to work with, less complicated to code with or in other terms DEVELOPER friendly. For example, for a while I had a real issue with HTC phones as they have too many things to work with like Bootloader, S Lock, Radios, Hboot version etc while in Nexus devices you only need to unlock your device with one fastboot command. That's all and you are ready to flash ROMs.
2. Personal preference of Device. This simply means that we all have different tastes and thus we choose different devices. A certain developer might only work for a certain brand while other might work with few brands. This has nothing to do with anything but a personal choice.
3. A device that promises reward in terms of money/self satisfaction. Developers usually go for devices which have most active users so if their intention is also to get some money out of it in terms of donation, this will work well with devices which are more in number.
4. Knowledge about a certain brand more than another.
5. MONEY TO BUY A CERTAIN DEVICE/DEVICES. Suppose a developer wants to make ROMS for Xperia L/ SP/Z and Xperia U. Yet he only has 500 dollars to choose from. He then will have to make a choice between devices and this will eventually mean that not all of the devices get the same treatment. Money is the most decisive factor why a developer doesnot chose your device but rather another. For example purpose only, if I have to choose between devices, I might prefer SP over Xperia L as I can see more future of SP than Xperia L(I might be wrong).
SOME REQUESTS
Please STOP bugging developers by trivial questions. Just think how many other people ask the same question and it gets very frustrating to actually work on the device itself.
Every developer has a LIFE apart from developing ROMs. They also have a family, school, work, hobbies, bad days and so much like us. So they will do it when they feel like doing it. Just sit back and relax. Enjoy your device until developer releases the ROM for your device. Asking a REASONABLE question seems plausible but asking same questions/useless questions without using brains is just STUPID. Kindly refrain from that.
Ubberlaggydarwin has taken the initiative to work on CyanogenMod and I believe the best thing now is to be patient. Let him concentrate. Spamming and spamming again won't help really. I saw the other posts from other CM developers who clearly stated that CM team do not HAVE xperia L till yet to start working on CM and people have started SPAMMING developers, their twitters, blogs and accounts. That's really sad. You can discuss on the forum what you think about it but IRKING developers isnot really cool.
The reason of this forum is to work as a team and I am afraid we havenot been really good at it till now and moderators have to CLOSE/DELETE forums.
If you are wondering why Xperia L isnot getting many CUSTOM ROMS is that it is a complicated device and small developers are having a tough job working on it. Thus, many developers who could easily port a ROM or build one haven't been successful as their are many stumbling blocks to work with.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP DEVELOPERS AND SEE CUSTOM ROMS.
1. Search the form first and look for answers. DON'T start new posts/questions/threads when it is ALREADY mentioned in some other section.
2. STOP PMing/SPAMING developers but rather ask a question WHICH havenot been asked before in the forum. Do not engage in the habit of making a new forum for everything. Try to keep threads as little as possible.
3. Follow developers and see what they have updated about on their official twitter,facebook,etc rather than bugging them on different forums/social websites.
4 DONATE THEM. DONATE THEM . DONATE THEM!
The amount of efforts they put, sitting for hours in front of their PCs and I know how frustrating it gets when you try to run commands and everything seems to work yet you can not boot up your ROM. And worse, you can not find WHY really. Just a change in line in build.prop results in failure of ROM to boot up and specially working from source to build ROM is really really tough. The best thing you can do is being supportive and patient !
A ROM development requires not just EXCESSIVE amount of hardwork, time, energy and dedication but also they need MONEY to actually buy devices and try it on. They are happy and encouraged to keep on developing ROMs when they see their efforts are not wasted and they are rewarded and respected for what they do.
MY SUGGESTION
An easy way to encourage the developers to work for Xperia L is by donations. Give them donations to buy a specific device. In our case, we can agree on how much we all can donate. After it is learnt how many devices can be bought with donations, we can send the amount to different developers to buy Xperia L.
I give you the opportunity to write on this forum who wants to donate and whom they trust to do this job. Specific developers can be chosen.
You can discuss about why you chose a certain developer and how much he can offer. In the end, voting should be done between users who are willing to donate so we can agree who will be the best men to do this job (of developing ROMs).
I am NOT asking for any donations myself (I have no donation bar in my account) or no one has asked me to start this post.
I will appreciate that people do not SPAM THIS THREAD.
ONLY put really important points or if you are willing to donate or want to make a valid point. I will add the names and the amount any user wishes to donate so we can track how much have been donated in theory before we can actually take the next step.
Xperia L costs around US $235 in USA, GBP 217 in the UK. So even if 50 people donate around 5-7 dollars (less than one hour of your wage), we can have many ROMS and support for our device.
I donot have a paypal account and I will ask my bank if I can make transactions to PAYPAL to tell you that I am the first person to take initiative of my theory.
UPDATE : STARTED A FORUM IN DEVELOPMENT SECTION TO FIND DEVELOPERS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47791745#post47791745
Kindly show your support and write on the thread now and then so most people can see the thread and we can reach more developers.
UPDATES :
UPDATE 24/11/2013:
Most developers have still not given any positive response till yet and I can only disappoint you that I do not see any CUSTOM development until January. No CM brewing officially and the device added on CM is just for reference. uberlaggydarwin is interested but he doesnot have the device till yet.
UPDATE 26/11/2013
I am in talks with few more developers who have shown interest in Xperia L. I am trying my best to get developers for your device!
I hope to give you good news soon. Currently I am trying to hunt down DOOMLORD who is also very experienced developer at XDA.
Uberlaggydarwin is close to buy an Xperia L and he seems to finish Xperia L development before January if donations are made by then in time. I have confirmed. Support him by donations.Check third post
UPDATE 29/11/2013
Uberlaggydarwin is still in short of money to buy Xperia L. He is still waiting for more donations made via Paypal or Google Play. Kindly Donate to him in case you want to speed up development.
UPDATE 1/12/2013
Uberlaggydarwin is having exams till wednesday. He will be then be having some holidays. If he can get donations, he will buy the phone and start working on it. He also told me that he will add few dollars himself if donations reach to a certain level.
UPDATE 3/12/2013
Uberlaggydarwin is going to make a PROPER STABLE ROM and he will strive hard to do it ! He is only interested in development and thus I believe I might be doing all the User support for CM for him! Anyone who wants to volunteer is highly appreciated.
UPDATE 7/12/2013
Uberlaggy darwin is going to buy the device soon and he has got the money to buy the device. Well, I believe the reason why I started this forum has been accomplished. This wouldnot be updated anymore and If in case required, I will again start updating this thread. Thank You so much for your donations and working as a team to make it possible for uberlaggydarwin to buy the device. Remember he has put his own 140 dollars into the device. If you are happy with his work and appreciate the CM when it comes available, you can continue donating to him.
UPDATE 7/12/2013
Ubberlaggydarwin said, he will release CAF kernel within three days when he gets the device!
He is very enthusiastic about working CM on Xperia L.

Just bought a Xperia L the other week and I have to say the XL forums here on xda really baffled me.
I owned a X8 before and it was weird to see the little development and loads of nonsense here. That was surprising to me when looking at the specs and the price tag of this phone.
Thanks for this thread, I'm looking forward to supporting any good and motivated dev. :good:
I think I uberlaggydarwin was stating interest in working on the XL as soon as he gets his hands on it. Also, CM has added the XL to their database on their website.

Same here, I'm coming from Neo V(Xperia 2011)there have really good development. nAa make 3.4 kernel for it and one great dev(mike) bring cm10.1/2 and now he boot cm11...
I saw the spec and the price of this device, but I forgot to search and see what development going here...But I'm optimistic for this device and I think that if we get Cm10.1/2/11 development will start with full speed.
And just to tell you,this in the Cm site is just placeholder and uberlaggydarwin start to work on cm10.1 for our device, but he don't have the device I want to help him with donate but I don't have a credit card...Will try to find someone to donate from me.

I am in contact with uberlaggydarwin and he still hasnot got the device. He has worked a bit for our device using his friend phone but that's not enough. He told me that he is seriously considering CM for Xperia L and he will tell me about it in a day or two. Also, he got exams next week so it wouldnot surprise me that if he takes his time to reply back. Kindly do not PM him or quote him unless required as I am in direct talks with him.
adfad666 is a well known developer but I am not sure if he is interested in development for Xperia L. Can you ask him if he is interested in development for Xperia L. If suppose he is, we can give him incentives to work for our device. Just see what he says about it.
As far as CM is concerned, they still havenot got the device yet. And they NEVER announce support for any device until they have made CM already. It's really surprising as I have never seen CM add a device with no build but I hope it means good news for Xperia L.
About donations, it's not that we are doing a FAVOUR to developers but simply incentives / ways to have enough money to buy the device. That's it. Developers need devices until they can actually make the ROMS. In real, they are the ones who are helping us!
You can support developers by buying their apps on google play,however, I am not providing links until a developer confirms he is serious about Xperia L.
I can not tell you more at this point as some things need to be sorted out between developers and it is just in "suggestion phase"
We only need one CUSTOM rom like CM and I am sure, many small developers will base their ROMS on it. So we will soon have a lot of custom ROMS.
Around 4 people have asked for alternative ways to donate apart from paypal/credit card. If any one has suggestions, do write them.
Update:
I got exam this monday and tuesday so I might not write back soon
Update 2 : started a forum. Link in the first post. Check it out and support the thread.

I am sorry to break this disappoint you
MAJOR UPDATE :
I hate to disappoint you all but it seems that we won't see any custom ROM till the end of January unless we find a developer. I have talked to my sources and I can only break to you this news.There is nothing brewing at the moment in official CM either.
However it's very possible that someone is working on a Rom whom I don't know.
uberlaggydarwin is developer from Xperia SP and he is interested. He got a bootable CM and done quite a work but he hasnot got the device itself.
He had been working on the device of his friend which wouldnot be available to him any more. I am not sure what happens next and I will update you if i have any more updates.
Kindly do not ask about my sources as I simply can't.
Unless we attract any other developer, we are on our own. So if anyone can help or reach developers, kindly share.
The main reason for no real roms for Xperia L is develoeprs not ready to buy this device.
UPDATE 26/11/2013
I am in talks with few more developers who have shown interest in Xperia L. I am trying my best to get developers for your device!
I will give you good news soon. Currently I am trying to hunt down DOOMLORD who is also very experienced developer at XDA. I am also in talks with others but it's very early to say anything till yet. I am hoping to get a reply from DoomLord by tomorrow!
Uberlaggydarwin :Just wanted to give a big shoutout/thanks to Stefan Ernst (steeserious?) from Germany and Jon Nightingale from Australia (don't know your alias mate )
They donated a generous amount to buy me a Xperia L so my Xperia L followers can get CM on their devices too and all the others who bought my app
I'm not there yet though. Let's see if we can sort out something by the end of December
You all rock!
Can't wait to be rocking an AOSP rom on my device with you.
He is still short on donations !
UPDATE 29/11/13
I had talks with uberlaggydarwin and he is still short on cash to buy Xperia L device. He is serious about Xperia L if you can help him buy the device. Also, we talked about how we can send him donations apart from his paypal & google play apps. Check third post of this thread to donate. Moreover, if you can not donate yourself, you can ask someone to donate via their paypal/bank account and you can hand them cash. 5 to 10 dollars isnot a big deal. You spend that amount of money on fast food. Come On guys!!!
Other developers that I have talked with havenot given any positive response so till now we only have hope of uberlaggydarwin!
Currently uberlaggydarwin has got exams so I might not be able to reach uberlaggydarwin

Just bought a Xperia L the other week and I have to say the XL forums here on xda really baffled me.
I owned a X8 before and it was weird to see the little development and loads of nonsense here. That was surprising to me when looking at the specs and the price tag of this phone.
Thanks for this thread, I'm looking forward to supporting any good and motivated dev. :good:
I think I uberlaggydarwin was stating interest in working on the XL as soon as he gets his hands on it. Also, CM has added the XL to their database on their website.

Same here, I'm coming from Neo V(Xperia 2011)there have really good development. nAa make 3.4 kernel for it and one great dev(mike) bring cm10.1/2 and now he boot cm11...
I saw the spec and the price of this device, but I forgot to search and see what development going here...But I'm optimistic for this device and I think that if we get Cm10.1/2/11 development will start with full speed.
And just to tell you,this in the Cm site is just placeholder and uberlaggydarwin start to work on cm10.1 for our device, but he don't have the device I want to help him with donate but I don't have a credit card...Will try to find someone to donate from me.

I have started Updating about Xperia L development on second post. Do check it regularly. I need your support in case any developer is ready to help us. Kindly if you can donate or are ready to use device for test versions and submit logs to developers, that be great!
Even if you can not do any of the above, you can suggest opinions and think of ways to be helpful.
you might wanna check uberlaggydarwin's Google+, cm might not be too far away.

I am in direct talks with him. Thank you !
Good news from Brinly Taylor
Just wanted to give a big shoutout/thanks to steeserious from Germany and Jon Nightingale from Australia (don't know your alias mate )
They donated a generous amount to buy me a Xperia L so my Xperia L followers can get CM on their devices too and all the others who bought my app
I'm not there yet though. Let's see if we can sort out something by the end of november
You all rock!
Can't wait to be rocking an AOSP rom on my device with you.

Its already been mentioned in updates. Kindly don't rewrite something already present or if you want to donate or you have something really important to share.
I just donated U$5, may not be much, but i hope it helps a little bit. After 6/12 i will know how much i have free from my budget of December.
Also donated!
I have i suggestion, and I don't know if someone else has posted something like this before, but why don't we make some donation so we can buy the z3 for the rom developers like we did with the Xperia Z2? Sorry for my bad English.
With all my respect for the devs on XDA these guys are doing an amazing job on Xperia development... [NUT], Niaboc79, monx, Doomlord
I'll give 20 euros but I don't use PayPal.
I'm in! Don't know who should get one first, though.
Count me in!
Maybe we should make a Root Bounty thread, like they did for the Z1s (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644946)
Maybe we should tag the devs in this thread so we can get there opinion on the idea?
I could build rom for Z3 and Z3c if the community is able to give me one of them
Start a bounty thread with someone ready to receive donations then when the right amount is reached, send the money to a dev
Will donate for root with locked bootloader.

I would love to see the eXistenZ rom on the Z3
And if i am not wrong, I think @monx got the Z3 already.

We need @DooMLoRD, @niaboc79 and @[NUT]
I'm in 20 $. We need someone with good reputation and free time, to start a Thread. Best idea as i think someone from xda staff.
I think z3c users will join us.
And here was another thread with the same idea
I am in with 50€. Let's get this thing started.
I'm in with $20 dollars
no disrespect to other devs.. @DooMLoRD for mind as he has proven track record with exploits, kernels, guides etc plus lots of other awesome support. roms come and go but multi-purpose developers worth their weight in gold
I'm willing to donate something too, but for kickstarting the Verizon Z3v variant because we've yet to achieve root. :/
Sent from my D6708
I'm also willing to donate for a root solution for t-mobille Z3.
I'm in too, of course. Great community to help each other, and this is the way we ( without such a knowledge like our pros ) can do it.

Same here! Count me in with 20€

Ok so if people in here trust me, I will be willing to open a new thread with my paypal info so people can donate and i will keep the list updated. I have alot of free time. And maybe we can make a vote system so the people who make a donation can vote on the dev they want to buy a device for? What do you guys think?
Hi!
As we all know, picture and video quality on AOSP ROMs for LG's flagships leaves a lot to be desired. Camera2 API support would improve camera performance on G2 and G3 (and maybe it would be beneficial for G Pro 2 aswell)!
I know it doesn't mean a lot to you but it would help us, G2 and G3 owners, a lot! So please support us and sign!
Note: This petition is not hosted by me but Giancarlo Viali from G2 Owners Community on G+! I saw it very beneficial to share on XDA Forums!

Thank You! Fingers crossed! :fingers-crossed:

I wish we simply wish we had more developer support for this device id happily donate £100 to a developer if someone would stick with this device and help make it as good as we all know it can be..
but I've came to the conclusion after meny months that its simpley not going to happen not to the scale of the g2 or g3 anyway which I find upsetting,
this is such a underrated phone its unbelievable for the price I personally think this phone is amazing the screen is lovely to use the ui is smooth as butter and over all its simpley a brilliant phone,
But I think if your expecting donations its just not going to happen I would but I want other devs to back this phone up and help but unfortunately development seems dead such a shame for the beast of a phone this is.

Oh oops srry I shouldn't have posted it here. :silly: but I feel you, it's clearly a very good phone by the specs. Sad not many developers aren't interested in it though. If I had the time I'd happily develop for it I'm learning game development though and all my time goes into studies and social life.

Until it's available on all markets, we won't see it any time soon. That's why we have to do it ourselves.
Mods :- I am assuming this is something which is allowed, going by the Z2 force thread linked at bottom of post. Please PM me if we are breaking any rules.
Hello All,
Most of you might be using my custom ROMs for griffin, I have been working on this device for 2 years but now I can’t see that this device is no longer progressing these days. sadly I can’t keep the device update as much as the old days due to school and stuffs… but I’m still working on lineage 15 & 16. now my friend ( @DD3Boh ) is interested to help in the development to bring up a cool kernel for us and help me in ROMs and more…
He worked on creating trees and bringing LineageOS to almost same msm8996 device (Lenovo Zuk Z2) even though he ported fully working kernel 4.4 to his device. Now, we think he should own the Moto Z to continue developing for it and give us a better kernel support.
Hence @TobiPeter created a PayPal pool and we are aiming for 180euro.
here's a link to the pool.
https://paypal.me/pools/c/89iKcS097m
This has been done before with the Moto Z2 force. In Z2 force's case the device got support once it was delivered to the dev. We are lucky to have DD3Boh, but you know official P roms is coming.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/z2-developement-thread-getting-device-t3727688
Questions, queries, comments? Feel free to post.
Thanks. :highfive:
UPDATE 11Nov: @DD3Boh received the money and ordered device.
I'm more than happy to chip in some money to get this dev a phone. The continued development of the MotoZ is always welcome, and certainly appreciated, especially now that the official support has ended.
we found a cheaper device and pool goal changed to 150EUR
but this device deal ends in next 2 days
we hope to reach the goal
only 15EUR to go...
thanks for contributions guys

That's because we reached the goal!
The dev should have his device in about 2 weeks.
So, hello everyone. Yesterday the money pool reached the goal so it has been closed and I got the money immediately, so I've already ordered the phone. It'll arrive in about 15-25 days. Thank you to everyone who donated to let me buy this device, I hope to do a good job on it and to enjoy meanwhile. And let's #MakeGriffinGreatAgain
Just some hours ago I got, finally I would say, the device. Already flashed TWRP and @erfanoabdi's lineage build with my kernel. It's running really good and I'm enjoying this phone already. Now I can finally seriously work on this phone, thank you everyone for the support and I 'm sure you won't be disappointed
The pool has been removed
Can Chinese paypal users donate him through this pool？
News any? ?

The pool has been closed some time ago as we reached the goal.
Now me and erfan are working together on this device to make it better day by day
If you still want to donate, you should be able to do so to my PayPal, but you don't need to, don't worry
