I wish lol. Likely not anytime soon. At least we're getting the official update if nothing. Funny enough, I bought this phone thinking we would get lots of ported ROMs, being so close related to the S2 series, but boy was I wrong

like in the other ics thread u started I said i would but sorta/extremely difficult without the device lol
I have been making efforts, but trying to keep them generally quiet. I am trying to build us an ICS kernel based on the kernel sources from the T989 release. It has most all of the bits that we need for our variant (our LCD panel code, earjack, etc), but it's obvious from attempting to build the thing that Samsung wasn't finished yet. At least, they weren't finished with the T769 code when they packaged up the T989 sources. I've already fixed a number of simple errors in the kernel code, but bigger ones are now holding me back.
I am not a programmer (and I keep saying this) but I am confident that with my other bits of experience, I'll be able to get a working kernel. Based on that, I am hoping that the architecture of CM9 and it's more official samsung_msm8660 base (thank you, T989 team and contributors) will make it easier to put together a build once we have a working kernel.
This phone is not without love. In as much as no one hears about it, I probably spend 50-60% of my free time trying to get something together for this phone, hitting dead ends or massive missing pieces down each road I take. An ICS kernel, which is what I am trying to build now, would be a massive bridge to get me much closer to point B from point A.
Is it me, or has development for this phone gone the way of the dinosaur? This is not a complaint... Just an honest question... With all due respect for the smart developers who have contributed their valuable time to developing /porting roms for our device I feel like the development has come to almost a standstill. I've been on these forums since the heady windows mobile days and I don't remember seeing such a lull in development. I check these forums daily for a nugget of new features or bug fixes. It seems like most of the original development roms pretty much came to a stop the beginning of November. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. Has everyone sold their gs3s and gone to the note 2? It's disappointing because I love my phone and I've only had since September. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one wondering....

Its just you. I just counted nine ROMs updated in December alone and at least 4 original updated in December.
Original may have slowed simply because most devs are waiting to get there hands on 4.2. Which by the way there are already like 2 or 3 in the works.... Including the official cm10.1.

Yeah it seems like everyone pretty much started working on 4.2 when Google released that code.
When we start to see CM10.1 nightlies then I think you'll see the original development pick back up. The problem is that everyone seems to depend on cm or aokp for the low - level code and until they get things sorted out, none of the aosp ROMs are going to be changing much.

I do not think the Thunderbolt would be a fair comparison. You are talking about a flagship device of the S3 compared to a device that was released on Sprint as the EVO a year earlier then the Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt was a failed device before it was even released. And HTC wonders why they lose money qtr after qtr.
Verizon needs another Nexus device! If the GNEX was not such a POS I would still own it...There is nothing better then getting Googles latest updates and knowing your device actually has a future...Even though Verizon took a while to release an official JB update for the GNEX we had a fully working JB Rom like a day or 2 after Google announced the OS and that was with everything working. If I was not in contract I would seriously be thinking about leaving Verizon just I could get a Nexus 4. It stinks to be at the mercy of these manufactures and carriers.
And while we have great devs it is no walk in the park to bring AOSP to these devices. We still do not have a fully non buggy AOSP Rom for the S3.

I would also say that development scales based on how much is liked or hated on the device from the manufacturer. I find that less development generally means less demand for changes.

It is comparable. The thunderbolt was the flagship lte phone. My brother gave me his tbolt and I put some use into it. For only a single core oc'd to what my CPU could tolerate at 1.5 it was a trooper. Big screen, first phone with talk and simultaneous data need I say more? Oh right dat kickstand. You wanna see slow go trudge in there for awhile. We waited for ICS for forever and I think HTC is still tugging their chains.
Tl;dr were fine.

I don't think there is a lack of development for this device. There isn't anything real earth shaking right now but we have come such a long way! So many great things have been accomplished! We have great devs and quality roms. The best thing I can recommend is inviting the devs in the T-Mobile and all the other service providers with a GS3. Visit there forums on XDA and contact there rom developers. I have done that and have at least one coming this way. There is nothing wrong with a fresh face and new ideas. Nonetheless, I'm impressed with our consistent development especially considering the holidays!
Another thing to consider is that many of the developers are students. Finals for many of them are the end of November or the beginning of December. Chances are they took a break to study as school is more important than the free stuff they do on these boards.

So this day came earlier than I thought.
I even said not lately though, that I will hold on to this phone for as long as it would last.
but...I kinda have mixed feelings selling today my last SGS 4G (had 2 of them).
At first, I had SGS international version (i9000) and came to the US as a tourist in Summer of 2011.
While in the US, I wanted to buy 2 more of them - 1 to my mom and 1 to my wife.
Somehow, the Manhattan cellphone shop seller tricked me into buying this phone saying "they are the same",
only to find out the same day that they are not.
So, when I came back to my home land (Israel) I took both of them to me and my wife and gave my mom the i9000.
After bricking my own, flashing a vibrant ROM, doh... I started to learn more, flashed Raver's ROMs than Valhalla and finally started to inject Hebrew and other languages into ROMs. flashing 95% of the ROMs in this forum until I left my wife with FBis251's AOKP and I kept trying every possible ROM that came.
At some point I tried to port ROMs, but that didn't quite work, and I haven't ever tried to build them from source.
I can say that due to the miserable internal storage it has, I lost many sleepless nights swapping apps with Titanium Backup (never got the hang of sd-ext and it never worked for me) and I must have cursed Sammy and everyone related to it, but, in the bottom line, I used this phone to the limit, understood how Android really works, made 2 corporate presentations on Android OS and finally decided to study mobile applications development (I already finished the Android part, now starting the iOS) and I believe I will be starting my own mobile app development business in a few months, so I can't really say this phone hasn't driven me into changing my career and destiny.
So after selling my wife's SGS4G to a classmate for mobile app development purposes (upgrading her to i9300 international SGS3), and after upgrading my mom to the same model - I decided to return to my old SGS i9000, selling today my very own (most abused) SGS 4G and finish this part of technological life.
I plan on holding the i9000 until March/April 2015 when the SGS5 will come out -at that point I will buy SGS4 (it will be cheaper then).
I'm never on plans or commitments, I barely speak ...
So I want to take this opportunity to personally thank the amazing guys who walked with me this long journey,,,
RaverXXX - my first ever flashed ROM (I think it was Froyo Audiophiles....)
Krylon360 and DRHonk - For Valhallla ROM (my very first self customized ROM)
Alon2 - Who together with me gave the world the first ever Hebrew SGS4G ROM.
FBis251 - For KJ6 debloater, Aroma installer customizations, TWRP, AOKP and more...
DSexton702 - For giving us crazy mods and customizations and having limitless patience and support (well, until he moved on...))
Bryan (AKA Bhundven) and AntonX - For keeping development alive, mostly great kernels when we most needed them.
Jeffsf - For the auto-brightness fix.
Erikmm (Beastmode) - For giving us MIUI (my longest lasting ROM ) almost a year back and forth) and many more ROMs and endless support
DaothanDuy - For keeping the legacy of Erkmmm (see above) with endless ROMs that keep appearing.
Lumin30 and eollie for their endless support, guides and explanations.
Shortbusdriver for testing my first HebAOKP build...
For sure I forgot many others I'm very thankful to, so please bear with me.
My best wishes to you all and hopefully we will meet in the future doing great things together, remember this and have a good joyful laugh.
Take care.

Great to see a user like u man, u were the first that inspire me w doing things literally tho (as u can see the adding language thread ). Hope all the best then man n ye, the S4 is barely good choice then, pity that I couldn't afford for keeping it after a week trial . Anw, farewell man

It's always a disappointment to see such a strong contributor to the community leave. You've done a lot here and I'm glad that it has taken you in new directions in your life.
You will definitely be missed!
It's sad to see a lot of people leaving this community. I'm also glad I got this phone because like you, I learned a lot about Android from it.
I'm sure you'll enjoy your S4! It's a solid phone and the ROM/kernel support is great!
Thank you for all you provided to us, and all the support you gave this community.
Well, the good news is that your not leaving android!
I mean, you could contribute your translations upstream to aosp, cm, omni, slim, etc... and have a greater affect then sgs4g's world.
Rats, means I'll have to subscribe to the s4 forum to troll you now
I'm keeping my SGS4G xda subscription. I think I will make a mobile app to demonstrate this phone's abilities (resolution, sensors etc.) You can send me suggestions and it will be my farewell gift.

Hahahaha....
Been playing with SGS i9000 ROMs a bit and i can confirm that 4.3,4.3.1 issues (browser crash on scrolling, disappearing keyboard and rare launcher crashes) exist there too. So unless kitkat solves them (and it is possible) this phone's best and last version is 4.2.2. Just need to make GPS work as it works on the i9000, where cm10.1.3 is considered stable.

I'm opening it here because the Android Developing forum is a bit AFK.
Also, my first question is,
Why we are not using the Android x86 source, put a little bit from samsung open source and Tab 3 binaries it, and compile it?
Its so hard?
We are the xda-developers, we can do it!

Yes, I'm asking myself the same, the Galaxy Tab 3 is such a famous device and out since July, but still there are nearly no ROMs out. Are there any ROMs planned or will this device soon be moved to the low activity section? CyanogenMod officially supported the Galaxy tab and the galaxy tab 2, but it doesn't seem like they are planning to support the galaxy tab 3?
Is there a special reason for that?, I'm just wondering?

The most device development I've done to date has been a simple android app, but I'm willing to get dirty on this one. I just came into possession of one of these devices over xmas, and I never let a good device go to waste. I do have 17 years of programming experience in multiple languages including C++ and Java, and a lot of web-based languages, so I'm hoping to come up to speed relatively quickly.
I'll poke around here and on the net over the next few days and see if I can teach myself, but if someone could point me in the direction of some quick start tutorials for building custom roms, I'll get started.

Anthony, I think one thing that is holding people back on this device is a good recovery. The ones available now are painfully slow. I'm guessing there is some power saving mode on the x86 chip that needs to be tweaked to get it performing well. Once that was fixed, it would be a lot easier to experiment with ROMs. -- Bud
Also Interested
Anthony and all, hi and hello. Thinking of shaking the rust off, as I also just came into possession of a GTab3, 10.1 inch, over this holiday season. I haven't built anything in a long time, but anyone who ran a Vibrant a couple years ago around here, should recognize my handle. I maintained a rom for the Vibrant for quite a while, from Froyo to ICS, then life got busy.
Popping into here today, I'm kinda sad to see there's not much if any in the way of development on this device. Happy to have root, thats a start. cduced was right, we do need a better recovery option, at least one that is faster, though what we have now is workable. TWRP may be slow, but it's something. We were always hung up on doing pure aosp source build for the Vibrant, because Sammy is not known for making their kernel source easily and readily available. Working from an existing zip to kang it is easy, but really thats just the same rom, maybe stripped and repackaged. A source build is the desirable outcome.
Though I haven't begun looking into things for this baby yet, and my adb and build tools are far out of date, I am very interested in working towards a better set of options for this device. 4.2.2 still? I can't believe Sammy hasn't released a 4.3 update, that's sad, but goes to show the lack of support they give their devices, to anyone who's been there you know, but you also know, determined devs can make it a better world.
Anthony, and anyone else interested in trying to improve this device, feel free to PM me, I'm thinkin' we should make a Google Hangout or something, make it easier to communicate.

Hey I want aosp on this device too! At the very least, id like a custom kernel that I can overclock to reduce lag. Ive never created a rom, but I dont think roms are the issue...id be interested in porting roms that already exists...x-note for multiwindow features, or pac-rom for a highly customized device.
Are you still up for the projects? Lets heat these forums up!!!

It's ok I have already seen and tried them :laugh:. I understand the concept of work on something new and the lack of dev it's just that I was surprised because I thought tab 3 was like the others tabs so the development was more evolve.no problem.
Not to knock it, but whats been released in the threads, is nothing more than the deodexed build already up there, with some bloat removed. Even the install scripts have, or had, the same text as the original. So really, nothing new. I am looking into possibly kernel cooking for this device, that seems like a good point to start.
No promises at this point, I'm looking into it though.

This is true but there is finally a bit of interest and may come up with some new goodies..... the reason they all have the same updater.script is because of the recoveries.... they need a little more work to get them to work with the x86 architecture

No and yes. Once the official or leaked android 5.0 drops for either the international g3 or att g3 our devs will pump something out.

There are aosp roms available. It's just that a few things don't work at the moment (camera has been fixed recently but bluetooth still doesnt work).
The problem is the aosp roms are tethered, meaning you need a pc and adb to boot the rom. As soon as the bump devs release the necessary tools, rom devs will be able to "bump" the kernel and have it ready for flashing. By then you'll be able to download and flash normally.
I think the biggest reason why we don't see more custom ROMs is the fact that the Bump team still has not provided a website or other method for developers to "bump" their work. These guys do this in their spare time (ie they aren't working on this 9-5, 5 days a week). Apparently they are struggling to get their website up and running as it has become a magnet for hacking attempts. Hopefully they will be able to get it all sorted out soon!
Once there is a bump method released to developers, they will be able to really concentrate on the G3 and I think you will see a lot of work released soon after.

Because they found an exploit in the LG bootloader so it basically paints a target on their back? Those same devs have had other successes with rooting other phones and what not. They are in my opinion very popular in the Phone community from their accomplishments. I think this alone makes them a target which is ridiculous. Whether it be jealousy or someone trying to make a name for themself or better yet a foreign country being mad that Americans cracked the code who knows. Actually I don't exactly know why they are being targeted lol. I am just taking guesses. I am sure their is even a possibility that Team Codefire doesn't know. Either ways its a shame that it is happening but it will all get sorted out.
Wish d850 could at least get a tethered aosp ROM
I bet we see some by next week. The tree is out. Should be good to go soon. I bet this thing is a BEAST when its running something slim.
