FactoryROM is looking for Talented, Dedicated Team Members

Whats happening Community? I am in the process of starting an Android Development group by the name of FactoryROM.
I have personally been working on my own and due to the amount of work that goes into creating a Daily Driver for any
given phone it only makes sense to partner up with several people to get the work out quicker and also to combine
talents and expertise. I have setup a website at www.factoryrom.com and now all I need is the people
.
With this said, if you feel like you would be interested, please PM me and I will get back to you ASAP. As of right
now I plan on supporting the HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and also the Samsung Fascinate but
I am willing to add to this list.
Thanks.

Help get documentation for Exynos SoC

I've started this thread in a hope to spread awareness in a major flaw of Samsung. Though they release the source code for their devices usually in a timely manner, unfortunately the same can't be said for their Exynos soc documentation. I know that our phone doesn't incorporate this chip, but it doesn't mean we can't help the fellow community receive the same benefits as the rest of us. This especially is important to me because I planning on purchasing the Galaxy Note 2 :silly:
A thread was started in the International GS3 thread to help acquire the documentation for their device and an already written inquiry is available to be sent to Samsung's open source department, just use the link on the page. I edited the inquiry when posting it myself to include all device that current have the Exynos chip along with future devices.

Let's join together as a community and help Samsung understand how important this to all of us, even if you never plan on owning a device with the Exynos chip. As stated by Codeworkx,

If 100.000 users are crying -> holy ****, we have to do something
If you stop crying, they'll stop paying attention and you've achieved nothing like in the past.
Yes, it's not the nice way. But it's the only way to give the community a voice.

I hate to brake it to you but the skyrocket doesn't have the Exynos soc.

He mentions that in the second sentence in his post...
That said, I agree that it's a good thing to do. If they get away with it once, they may try it again (providing this was intentional), and again and eventually not release the source for anything.

This thread is off topic. Please keep things here about the Skyrocket. Thank you.

Section Guidelines -- READ THIS FIRST

This area is currently experimental and was set up by the XDA Administrators for development discussion. The idea in this section is for developers (not only recognized developers, but all developers) to have a place for discussion threads to "talk shop." What kind of talk? Some topics (that I'm making up as I type this) might include (and are certainly not limited to):
Overriding the power widget in the notification dropdown
Considerations of using gcc versions other than 4.4.3 for compiling the kernel
Exynos: discussion on working around the SOC wake from sleep delay
This isn't a Q&A forum. However, developers might kick off discussions with a question. The difference? This belongs in Q&A: "My phone wakes up slow, will it go faster if I take my sdcard out?" On the other hand, the following might belong in this new section: "Has anyone tried adjusting the mmc detection timeouts to see if there's an impact on the SOC wakeup delays?" The assumption here is that the person asking the latter question actually knows what a mmc detection timeout is, how they'd change it, and has started to play around with it before posting the question.
As well, this section is not for posting finished products or "advertising" of kernels, apps, etc. This section is to discuss the process, not for the end result.
The hope (at least my own hope) is that developers can discuss things here instead of resorting the various other methods of communication we've used. At the same time, newer developers and even non-developers can LEARN from the conversations and eventually participate.
Depending on the reception (and difficulty moderating, probably) this experiment will either be expanded for other device types, completely shut down as a failure, or adjusted. Obviously, if we developers don't use it, it might be considered a waste of time and dissolved.
This section will be very closely moderated by moderators who are also developers and non-development discussion will be harshly dealt with.
I REALLY hope this will encourage more devs to spend time with open communication. This is XDA-Developers. Let's do development.
Edit (Jan 8th, 2013):
Clarifying "finished products" above: The threads in this section will likely spawn off or involve distinct programs/kernels/firmwares , and once a distinct product results, a separate thread
outside of this section should be created for supporting that distinct product. A link to that thread is welcome in the source thread here, but this section shouldn't be used to contain support or release posts.
Take care

Thanks a lot for this. Had requested this for N7000 forums, but oh well
But I still feel we could benefit from such a thread there as well..

The N7000 is very similar to the N7100 - just lacking a pair of cores, but still the same processor arch and I think the n7000 is getting JB with the same TW layer as the n7100, isn't it?
It seems to be that most of "note II" dev level discussion would be very similar to the original note (as well as the SGS3) so I wouldn't complain if it was done here. Of course, the real moderators might disagree with me, so it might help if Someone Important would chime in.

Actually they're still quite different to each other on the low hardware level even if they use the same IP blocks on the SoC, the SoC itself is basically built anew from what I understand. The non-existent 4212 is what you're describing there.
If you would have categorized these development forums I would have rather have them grouped on a per platform basis, and in that regard, as you know with my work, they are basically identical as they're based on this same "Midas" platform. This includes the S3 and all its variants, the Note 2 and all its variants, and the Galaxy Camera.

I agree on some of the SGS3 variants, but NOT the qualcomm variants of the SGS3. The sgs3 (exynos) also has a very similar version of TW as well now. I have no idea about the camera...
There's a chance that the i9300 device might eventually link to here... Keep in mind that it's still an experimental section, and while there's no leeway for non-dev posts, there's surely of leeway for non-Note II dev stuff (at least when it's similar to the Note2)

[REQUEST] Lineage OS for SM-N910T

Im tired of seeing these Note 7 roms and I want to relive these Cyanogenmod days but Cyanogenmod is dead. Is there a possibility that there is a way we can get developers to build a rom for the superiour Note 4? I like Lineage OS because of its OTA function that releases bug fixes and updates. Im not offending anyone or anything... Its just not my taste. I think 7.X is a big milestone for the Note 4 since Samsung wont release any more upgrades anymore due to its age. I know some people who want 7.X so bad but their good phones are "TOO OLD" I will sit here and wait til someone builds it.

+1 for this.
Just a vanilla port though with minimal modifications, and good Open GApps support.
EDIT: In the meantime, there is this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3536401
It appears to have a build for SM-N910T (trltetmo), but who knows how long the developer will support it. I can't help but think since one prolific developer on XDA abandoned a Nougat CM project because he couldn't work on it anymore, I don't have a lot of trust for anyone right now....

Discussions about Android 7 vs Android 6 for SGS7?

Many previous Samsung flagship phones have had TERRIBLE user experiences with new major Android releases. My S7 (Exynos on Tmobile) has been prompting me to download and install Android 7, and I don't want to! Not while I'm not convinced it's gonna be a worse experience over the now smooth Android 6 it is currently running. My last phone was the S4, and the upgrade from Android 4 to 5 was terrible for everyone. I ran a Danvd 4.4.4 and that's about as good as it got for the S4.
I also don't trust Google to get any major Android revision right until Android x.1 Not gonna be a Google beta tester for my daily driver!
So, I am looking around here to see if there is any discussion about the upgrade from Android 6 to Android 7, from Samsung, and I'm a bit surprised to not see one.
Am I missing something?
So does everyone love Android 7.0 or should folks be waiting for Android 7.1 ?

You're not looking very far if you can't find any discussion about Nougat 7.0, that's just about all people are discussing now
If you don't like it, flash back to MM with ODIN
Nougat is IMO quicker and more optimised than MM now, better settings UI, better in just about everything, I flashed back to MM a while ago and didn't enjoy it one little bit, big clunky and childish compared to Nougat

one response with a bit of snark..... so... you don't know then, right? thanks.
Not looking to root, so flashing Nougat for a try and then flashing back is not possible.
This would specifically be a topic on accepting the factory upgrade to Nougat from Marshmallow; where most of the opinions here about Nougat are discussed in threads about custom ROMs.
In years past, this specific kind of discussion would have its own thread. Hunting for opinions on this throughout 100s of threads is just not going to work.

One snarky response because of the retarded question
Go read some threads, you obviously haven't

You are an asshole. Already did plenty of looking around, and there are no threads to facilitate discussion on how well received the general rollout is. You don't understand the ask, so just move along if you don't like a question.
For those interested:
Here is some pertinent stuff. It's mostly beta discussion.... Feb rollout by around post count 80
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/samsung-s7-nougat-final-ota-t3532213
The usual stuff: Not much love at all for Samsung's Nougat rollout. Lot's of reports of annoying bugs, bad batter life, etc.
Also, there is some better discussions about the wide Nougat rollouts in US-carrier-specific sub-forums.

My attitude mirrors that of the person I am talking to, take a look in the mirror.

Dude, STFU! What are you, 12 years old? I asked some simple questions, and you started right out with your juvenile ****. grow up!
Moderators, could you please close and remove this useless thread? Thanks to this asshat!

Dude? And you're calling me 12? lmao
Next time you start a thread, make sure you've read a few first
You wonder why no-one else has replied here, why your thread isn't a huge hit? Because it is attempting to start a subject being discussed all over the S7 forums in multiple threads already, but you would have known that if you'd read a few first.
You really think you can come late in the game to a forum as huge as XDA, to the busy S7 forums, where MM has been already upgraded to Nougat for most people, and think you are going to be the first to start a thread about MM vs Nougat?
Those sort of threads started at the beginning of the Nougat beta programme last year
Come on 'dude', even if you couldn't be bothered to look, you could have worked out for yourself that wasn't going to be the case.
I guess your description of this thread being useless is correct though, so congrats on that :good:
