Which Phones are most supported on XDA - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I had a quick look and it looks like mostly 'Google' Phones are most popular phones among developers.
for example, I couldn't find CM14.1 or any other 7.1 Builds for any ROM for Galaxy S7 or HTC 10 or Huawei Mate 9 etc
On that bases, as i love to play around with my phone, should my next phone be from 'Google' ?
Cheers

"Nexus" series is discontinued with release of "Pixel" series.
Just checkout the devices' XDA section to checkout if it has a active developing community.

Hopefully this goes somewhere interesting. That watch has been nothing but a battery draining turd thus far.

Looks like this won't matter on the latest version of the watch as the new one has been announced for fall sometime. Shame:thumbdown:

Yes, BUT...
Sony has not released and has said they cannot release the stock firmware as open source.
The code released is for a minimal "Arduino" environment.
This Arduino environment might be fun for a bit of hacking, but it would take a HUGE amount of reverse engineering and development work to replicate the stock Sony smartwatch "OS".
The oh so important Bluetooth stack would be a big pain, IMO. But I haven't looked at the code to see exactly what's there.
As for the Smartwatch2, allegedly coming out in the UK as early as July 15, I would not be surprised if the basic hardware, SOC & BT at least, are pretty much the same as the 1st smartwatch. And it is likely very similar to the newest BT headsets with NFC.
Not the stock firmware. I am working on that though. Check out my thread on it.

Sense 5 Port [General Discussion]

Since theres to many off topic posts in the Developement forum
(PORT) HTC One M7 Rom v1 Alpha
The General Discussion should go here!
not in development section
What is the progress so far?
Well Audio doesn't work, GSM/DATA work in geiti94 test build (unreleased)
rest of the information can be found here: HERE!
People Involved
Geiti94 (OP - And Thread Maintainer, Developing of the rom)
Oweida (Developing the rom, and helps out)
Cnexus (Pointing out files etc, whats needed etc etc)
Jamal (Developing the rom)
dariolob (Will help in developing the rom???)
Aerys (will help in developing the rom???)
Laststandingdroid (well for starting the project, but soon saw he was beaten by sac and Cnexus)
So post what you feel of this project here, and feedback etc here. Thanks!
1s! Really glad you took the time to do the op justice and I hope people use this and leave the devs alone on their work space thread! I wanna say I'm really glad to see sense come to are phone. I always wanted a HTC phone for sense but I have always stayed faithful to Samsung after my iPhone 3gs which I had idroid on it or maybe that was my 3g idk. After seeing how far we are I'm glad to see this totally seems possible to do and development hasn't died after the ROM boots. I'm grateful for all the talented devs we have here!

I owned the htc one before the s4. I myself have never been a huge fan of sense, but they really got it right with the HTC one. Both hardware wise and software. IDK what optimizations they did with sense with its so smooth and fast, its incredible.

I know you devs are working hard to complete the difficult part of porting the rom...
My question is, once it is ported, would it be easy to mod the rom or tweak it to make it smoother, or would it be too fragile? Could you just flash a mod which was made for a HTC One rom? or would each mod have to be changed to be compatible with the port?
Keep up the good work

You'd have to try. But looking at it, I wouldn't dare to flash anything on such fragile rom unless developers say It's ok.

It's actually depends if it's Rom dependent. But I would say yes. Unless it's not replacing any necessary libs
I would say yes since I saw a Samsung tablet port to note ii and they said don't use mods for note ii. Use tablet mods. So it should work. I honestly never use that much mods. So can't say exactly but it's most likely no.

Quick question.... is it more than likely gonna be a long ass time bwfore this rom becomes super stable or 100%
Anyone think that this Extraordinary and extreme undertaking on htc sense 5 port idea will infact be mastered or fail

Samsung Vs Android

Are you Pro Samsung, or are you Pro Android. I ask this question, because of Samsung's future plans with their Tizen OS. I'm sure everybody knows about this OS. But I'm not sure any of use fully understand what Samsung is going to be doing with it. And what it will mean for Android running on their devices in the future... I don't really see this OS being a threat to Android. But with Samsung's notable market share in the Android landscape, and uninformed consumers. Can it get a strong hold on some of Androids market share.

No it won't android has been out for a while and fixed nearly every bug and tweaked it and made it faster and tastier I think it would be a while until Tizen could actually go head to head with android and ios.

I'd love to have a phone with "easy" hardware, on which one could install Android, Tizen or Ubuntu at will, so one can try and choose the one wich fits better his own needs.
I'm not really interested in Tizen... I kind of wanted to see where people stand on the issue... Samsung has been the top Android OEM, but are we for Android, and just choose Samsung devices, or are we with Samsung, that just so happens to be using Android... And when the time comes, will we stick with one, or the other, Samsung with Tizen, or Android... I kind of also like to see what people think of Tizen... I'm not really sure what to think of the OS. I'll be staying with Android, I know that much...

More afraid of Samsung staying with Android but going the way of Amazon. They want the money from the ecosystem. Wouldn't be surprised if in the future you have to pick a kindle phone, Samsung phone, or Google phone depending on where you want your content and apps to come from. Google Play subscriptions / apps? Amazon subscriptions / apps? Samsung subscriptions / apps? etc
That's why we have XDA
Sent from my C1905 using xda app-developers app
Remember the viability of the OS is almost totally dependant on the catalog of apps. BlackBerry OS 7 & 10 were very functional and secure OS'es but lost their appeal in the market because of the lack of apps. The same could be said for Windows Phone 8 which is much easier to control on the corporate level than either iOS or Android. But IT groups are too scared to give out the phones due to app envy complaints. Tizen could be the second coming but if it doesn't have a catalogue of a 100k apps day one it won't go anywhere.

That would be BS
If they do that then i will transfer my phone to another rom and let CM fall down !~
As soon as it gets released to the public I'm sure people will start porting the ROM to other devices.

Nexus 6 dead ?

Most likely there wont be a nexus 6. What phone will be the pure vanilla android when the nexus devices stop ?
its called a rumor, and thats all it is. just like the millions of other rumors for other devices. these rumors are around every year. only google knows whats up, not these internet blogs who make up remors. it will still be around, but google cant call it nexus 6, as that name is already trademarked.

The 4 other google play edition phones on the playstore lol
There are always going to be vanilla Android devices and there's always going to developer device whether it's called a Nexus, Android Silver, Google Play Edition, Developer Edition, etc. The fact is, it's always going to be around. Google needs the support of developers and developers need an affordable, unlockable vanilla Android device, so it will always be around in some form.
It will be called the Nexus 666! A very Hot and devilish device!
