It looks so much like Android.
I'm confused. This may sound like a separate topic but, since Android is open source, does it mean that I can copy it over and change it around and call it MyMobileOS and sell it for money?
Is what XiaoMi phone is doing legal? They just take Google's code and change it around and massively put it on their own phones and sell for money?

nvm. wrong post

i dont like this, if samsung does this, i will just go for the iphone 5.. enough said.

Yeah, finally they have quality products, if they do this...wow

Certainly will be a huge change of OS . . Its ok. . SGS2X will last awhile .......

Yeah my thoughts are I wont buy it.

If anything they will release a phone with this and another equally speced phone with android. No way they are completely abandoning android.

i will definitely move on to the iPhone, or even a wp7 phone if this happens

There are other good android phones,htc anyone?

HTC screens are garbage. I personally think that if Samsung was to go ahead and make this move without continuing to release any Android phones then that would be a negative decision on their part financially.

U would leave android because sammy did?

I seriously doubt the SGSII will have anything but android on it but I certainly don't doubt them making a phone with another OS. look at how many android phones sammy makes. you think they will stop all that?

Tizen is also open source - so you should not pay any money to have it. And looking into the source code - all of the drivers are under Apache License with Samsung as owner. We will probably see Samsung running Tizen soon. Not to mention that Intel is supporting the project hoping that they may enforce x86 instead of ARM processors arch (the same way they are forcing Thunderbird instead of USB). Android got one major flaw - that's the java virtual machine or I should say Oracle.

Looks like a Touch Wiz OS. Low end devices most likely, similar to Bada.

Oh c'mon with the exaggeration.. they're a far cry from 'garbage'!
Samsung screens are nice but the colours (from what I have seen personally) are over saturated in comparison to others such as HTC, which have more natural colours, something a lot of people appreciate.
My best friend has a GS2 and while his screen is nice, it's also tinted yellow because the colour temperature is way off, so the colours on my 1 year old Desire HD actually look better. He's not alone either there's a 200+ page thread on it. Then there's the banding issues people are having on the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note displays.
What I'm getting at is all current screens have their downsides but they're all far from being garbage.

i think that's a new incarnation of BADA OS

It's a bada os, but it'll be open-source this time.
I don't know who need this... Bada failed, Tizen will fail too.

This would be a HUGE mistake. Right now, people love Android, and some of us have quite a bit of money invested in apps and other things. I don't see many devs jumping ship either...

The next nexus device? or devices lol

I am able to upgrade in september, and was wondering if i should get galaxy s3, or wait for the next nexus or nexuses, because i heard they have better development support. Is it worth it to wait, or is there enough support on s3, being so popular. Also, how long would i have to wait for the next nexus

Nexuses have great support, but if you need a phone now go ahead, the s2 is getting jellybean.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nexus devices get updates directly which is fantastic, there is no waiting involved for manufacturers to add all the bloatware. I have an S3 and know that Samsung will be quite dellayed on any jelly bean update, so I have just accepted that any jellybean I get will be a custom rom but I'm okay with that. Personally my next phone would be a nexus, but I have enjoyed my S2 and currently love my S3

Can you add one more phone on that poll?
The LG Optimus ME v2 Nexus Edition (so much for long Android phone names)

Android 4.1 Jellybean

I would really like to see a dual exynos 5 phone; benchmarks look promising. Or, use of Qualcomms line would be sweet.

they really are, ive been burned thrice times..sadly ..only reason i tested the nexus is because i knew google was supporting it...if you dont care about the mediocre features of the s3 or dont care for touchwiz i suggest you wait for the next nexus..if you care about them then get the s3..but im sure you know or if you dont know..samsung is horrible with updates ..i got the behold...smh..then the galaxy s..wow..then the galaxy s 2..shouldnt have been shocked..see they dont really build up to much talk about updates..they let it ride for a year..then drop a new phone thats better and forget about the last one..if you dont care about support and updates and dont mind touchwiz and its features then i suggest get it..im not bashing the gs3 for anyone thats reading this, im just stating whats happened from past experiences and my experience with the s3, its a beautiful snappy perfect little phone well little isnt the word lol..but the features it offers if you care about customization and what not are just a gimick. if you dont care about customization like most general purchasers or just dont take the time to figure out how to do then you should get it

Good news for you:

I highly highly doubt that will be the next Nexus device. With those specs, there is absolutely no reason for someone with a Galaxy Nexus to upgrade.

Devs coming to the S6 ?

Forgive me if there is a thread already.
I've seen this done on some of the other devices here, members have asked that devs planning on buying and building roms chime in prior to the device coming out so that the community can get a heads up on how much ROM support a device will have once its released. One of the major factors that some XDA members consider before buying is how the ROM community/support for a phone will be...me being one of them. Maybe this thread will tank but maybe we can get some of the devs who are going to dive into the s6 to post in here ? Might be reaching but I've seen it done in some of the forums and it sometimes is a factor for some when deciding which new phone to get. [emoji4]

With the prediction of 55million of ss6; ss6 edge sold units by the end of the year i would image so, there would be some problem with exynos as it is a close platform it will take longer to develop a aosp.

The Samsung own brand chipsets don't have open source device tree so devs have problems creating from source such as CM. This has been this history on devices such as S4. Things may change.

The s4 didn't have me. as long as we get kernel source we should be OK. I did the t700/705, both are exynos and have fully functioning cm ports (well the t705 still has a couple bugs but that will be fixed in time)
Keep in mind this is not something that will happen over night. It took about nine months before I felt ready to submit my code to cyanogen. That and I haven't decided between the s6 or the edge.

I know a few heading over. I'm stewing on it but may play a hand from afar... unless I get hands on a loaner.

I'm coming over to the S6. Regular one, btw

Can I ask why the regular one instead of the Edge?!

I owned the original Note Edge and found the phone to be way too slippery. It was definitely cool to have the edge screen since it was something new, but I found it to be impractical. I pretty much never used the edge screen unless it was to play Memory Match (a game made specifically for the edge screen).
There was also a clear lack of variety in the amount of accessories available for the Note Edge as well. There were no tempered glass screen protectors that wrapped the edge screen and the cases were pretty much only leather flip books. HOWEVER, keep in mind that the S6 Edge has a much bigger fanbase than the Note Edge and with that said, there may be a greater variety of accessories for the S6 Edge.
Also, development for the regular Note Edge was shockingly nonexistent. There were a couple ROMs here and there, but most were stock bases. It's worth mentioning that you COULD flash regular Note 4 ROMs on the Note Edge and they'd work, however there'd be these really ugly white bars on the side of the phone due to the extra space on the Edge. Here's a picture (sorry for the quality):

TL;DR
Here are the main points why I think the Note Edge and subsequently, the S6 Edge are not worth it (to me):
Edge was slippery
Edge screen isn't practical
Lack of development compared to regular phone
Edge screen not worth the extra $$$
Note, that this was just based on my experience with the regular Note Edge. I obviously can't say what it'd be like to own the S6 Edge, but I imagine the difference can't be too big.

I know it CAN have. I ask WHY have it, when you end up with 2 pairs of buttons, which somehow doesn't seem very intuitive to me.

I'm sure CM will come but not yet and this "blog" looks pretty spammy.

Exynos is usually a real PIA for CM devs, I wouldn't expect anything solid for quite some time.

Right! was that the reason CM devs abandoned CM for Galaxy S5 G900H? No wonder, it was released in April 2014 and there is still no CM for it. BTW G900H is an unlocked model.

I would imagine. The only thing S6 owners have going for them is that every variant uses the exynos. Still, I wouldn't hold your breath though.

Fake!
The CM version shows 11 and its running 5.0.2 0.o

Cyanogenmod is pure vanilla Android with extra options thrown in. Since vanilla Android uses software buttons, Cyanogenmod gives you the option to use them as well. You can either turn off your hardware buttons, or assign other functions to them and use them along with the software buttons. I personally have the software buttons on my Note 4 turned off and I doubt my wife will use the software buttons on her S6 when I upgrade it to CM12 when available, but it's all about options.

This is not completely true. Cm is very far from pure Android. They change way too much from the base Android code. This is why you see different bases in roms. You have a CM base or an AOSP base.

100 % sure its fake because cyanogenmod version in this screen shot is 11 and android is 5.0.2 and build date is of 2014 leave sources i guess at that time s6 wasn't released

Agreed and if you're planning to run CM its a bit crazy as you will lose fingerprint security and camera quality will be trash.

[WIP]LineageOS 14.1 News (We Need Your Help)

Yes Lineage Os 14.1 Sort of works on our lonely LG V10 device.
What i know so far is
NOT WORKING
Audio
Camera - Needs Camera Blob Bring Up.
Some of the Lg G4 blobs work and some dont. So thats why we need our proper camera blob bring up.
We need our help. We need to colaborate like old times android comunity is separating slowly over the years.
If we are alone and some knows 1 or 2 things about android we need to regroup and work as a team. Or we never going to have something working.
On the picks says on device that is a LGH811 (LG G4) but is not.
It says that cus the deve used lg g4 repo.
He owns the lg v10 a d lg g4 but he studies and he is trying his best.

We can contact the LG v20 developers of the nougat roms. They fixed the camera using the lg g5 tree as a base I suppose

Thank you i have a pc that is capable of build android it was setup for android 5.1.1 i ned a ram upgrade... Im just wating for amazon for the rams to arrive

How is the development going?
I don't know if it helps but since the G4 is very similar to the V10, i'd assume this would help you guys.
https://download.lineageos.org/h811
LineageOS has nightlys for the G4, and maybe it can help you guys.

Any News? this is a really good os. I really don't know anything about software development.

I don't know it's this help, but i think Lineage Team was working for a Nightly ! https://www.lineageoslog.com/14.1/h901

It's sad, apparently we will not have this incredible rom. Nobody is in position to demand but cool series that the dev say if it is working on it or not, so one is not excited :/

woah nice Job dude

I was looking for buy the LG V10, it would be awesome getting Lineageos for this beast

I just had my V20 SMASHED in anger by a very lovely beautiful lady 5 nights ago. today I received my v10 (what I can afford) replacement. I guess I was foolish enough to assume that 7.0 would be available on this device. I am not a developer, however, I am able to test anything you need me to. I agree that the community has fragmented over recent years and I have stayed away because of the poop throwing and phone /engineering skills shaming I see here anymore. I am so so so sad about losing my beloved V20 but more so now that I learn that I should've researched this more upfront. My nexus 5 and 6 my 6p and even my one plus one ALL HAVE MULTIPLE 7.** ROMS I thought a 16 month old LG BAD-BOY would be in same boat but it looks more like paddling shut creek.....help?

Any news?

I can help build the ROMS. 8 core with 16gbs of RAM if that's enough.

pfff i think the devs just forget this project

any news?

I think this never will be released, the devs forget This CellPhone..... The LG V10 it's Dead....

Well nougat is available and the source for it as well, I for one do not have the know how to develop a Rom but the stuff we need is there in a kdz.

Looks like we lost whoever was working on lineage for our device.
I was previously seeing updates almost daily here: https://www.lineageoslog.com/14.1/h901
Seems like they've removed our device completely. *Sigh*
