Codename Android died somehow due to the main developer being inactive. I want to revive the whole project making it developer independent. So if one leaves the others can still work on it.
I only don't know how to setup git. But I know Java and XML well. Anyone up?
Before you go any further, I suggest checking out this thread, and the links in the OP, first.

Hello everyone,
I'm here asking help from all Devz that i wanna study Android right from the start.
If anyone could help me with it? Or any links where i can Study Android?
I knew nothing about android a year ago. after I bought my canvas 2. I googled how to install apks, how to get paidd apks for frree etc. then I searched how to modify my android phone. I learnt how to root, take backup, install recovery, flash ROM, about xposed framework etc. it will take some time to understand the terms. then it will be as easy as abc for you.
type your queries in the search box of xda and you will get related threads. also use xda wiki site. click thanks if you understood

Hi everyone! Looked at the threads about rooting the Acer Liquid Z630, but couldn't find any of these discussing exactly what I need.
I'll provide as much information as possible, but please let me know if I missed something.
- I'm running Android 5.1 on this device,updates seem to have stopped there.
- On the bootloader the terminal continuously says waiting for device, like not recognizing it. The phone has very little information on it (2 lines actually not saying anything useful imo).
- Found a link about the bootloader part using Windows on following page (due to being new I can't post the link in a BB tag yet, I'll be working on that later, promise!).
unlock-bootloader.net/how-to/unlock-bootloader-acer-liquid-z630/
- On my laptop I'm running Arch Linux, which I will be using for the root process.
- Trying to unlock the bootloader - rooting the device - upgrade to Android M.
Thanks in advance for your help!

@Vatsal Thanks for your attention! I did read the thread you mentioned before, but it doesn't seem to mention anything about the bootloader loop. As I'm stuck with that particular piece in the puzzle, do you have any manual specifically aiming for that part?

Deleted. Beaups released a full unlock using this. No need.

All,
Due to the recent accidental leak of Samsung eMMC vendor commands allowing write to protected eMMC areas, we are now able to write CID values on production devices.
Beaups has written an awesome tool called 'SamsungCID' (found here: https://github.com/beaups/SamsungCID). This makes the process all teh simpler!
I have built this tool from his source, and used it on a multitude of devices that use a Samsung eMMC. It works without flaw on the Moto G (Second Generation), Galaxy S5 (VZW/ATT, though, ATT doesn't have a Developer Edition that I am aware of), and many, many others.
How does this apply to you?
The S5 uses a Samsung eMMC, and has a Developer Edition. This means that it is vulnerable to this exploit.
How can I help this progress?
I need a few thing to make this work:
- A few testers with Production devices, and root (temp-root should work fine) -- I will contact these people individually, do not ask here to test.
- One person with a Developer Edition that has root (need an aboot dump, and them to run one command).
If any of you know of someone with a Developer Edition, please get them in contact with me. I can be reached on Hangouts, or on Telegram (@npjohnson).
PLEASE do not post your CID publicly.
I will be trying to package this into an app that will extend across multiple vulnerable devices.

I know we'll be able to get a bootloader unlock from this, but hopefully we'll be able to get it done ASAP. I've already moved on to the Nexus 6, but I'd still love to have my S5's bootloader unlocked anyway. Good luck with this, I can't wait.

cant wait to see this going
So how have you gone about compiling and running this? Try as I may I can't seem to do a proper build. It's probably the lowest of the low, but if you could send me a binary, I'd greatly appreciate it
I'd be more than willing to try it on my rooted verizon s5.
Successfully compiled the tool - currently scouring the internet looking for anyone with a developer edition that might be able to help, we should have this done in no time. Have already sent out messages to a few, will look for more. I'll PM you if I get any details
Kinda cool watching this unfold over a few weeks, I'm really excited for what's to come.
You all need to check something else first, you need your current CID
If it starts with anything other than 15, this will not work for you. Samsung EMMC's start with CID 15, Toshiba 11, and there may be more. If you Don't start with 15, this WILL NOT WORK.
Regarding a compiled verison
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=64141875024257149501
Yeah...unfortunately mine starts with an 11 :c
Yep, mine starts with a 15. I'm ready to start any testing. All of my possible developer editions have fallen through - many requesting a purchase of the actual phone. I'll keep looking, but I might be outta options atm.
I can't believe all we need to open this phone up is a dev phone for a few minutes. It would add new life. I'm searching out people as well. Hopefully we find something soon
Mine starts with a 15 and it's not my daily driver, count me in for testing!
Question. Didn't someone post in one of the forums (General or Android Development) about them having a Walmart Straight Talk S5 and that it was actually a VZW Dev Ed? Because he was wanting to put a CM ROM on it. If that's true, then we also need to find anyone with that particular device as well. If i can find the thread it was posted in I'll add the link. Found the links. If it's true we need to see if these variants could help out.

That's actually brilliant. It MIGHT work, but even though they have identical hardware, I don't know if that guarantees that it will have a compatible bootloader - unless it does, in which case that's amazing, and we need to get a hold of someone with one asap. Unless they are the same model, just rebranded, I don't see this working as the bootloaders may not be signed with Verizon's keys.
True. Forgot about the VZW keys... Was thinking too much of finding a Dev Ed....lol

Don't give up hope so fast. I'm getting in contact with a few people, and I'll certainly try it. This may actually be the same phone, I see a lot of websites suggesting Straight Talk phones are the exact same as Verizon ones. We shall see. My information about the keys might not even be accurate, with my limited knowledge.
It was a good thought though, even if it isn't true
How can you compile it? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1 and i can't even get NDK to install correctly.. Any help?

Hmm. I dunno. I'm currently on Windows - there wasn't really any installation for NDK, just running from the extracted folder. I can post a link to a compiled version of the program, I'm pretty sure someone in another thread posted one.

Is there a way to check CID from the phone? I can't seem to find out how to check it, build prop and whatnot doesn't have anything about it like some places suggest, and can't use fastboot.

Use eMMC brickbug checker on the play store. First 2 numbers of your cid should be 11 or 15. You want 15

Hi there,
I am working with a company that developed an SDK that offers an easy to deploy end to end encryption for mobile app developers and wanted to get some of you guys to test it with us (we are out of beta now). So what is the best place for me put a post about it?
Thanks,
M
