Just a thought. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Okay before people start killing me with their comments, please understand it's just a thought that's passed my mind & I thought of sharing it with you guys cos it excited me.
What if someone could port Oxygen OS of OnePlus on our S7? I've been a fan of OnePlus and have seen great improvements in their OS recently. Reason I'm using S7 and not OnePlus would be cos I love 5inch phones and find 5.5inch way too big for my hands. So ya I've been really dreaming about using Oxygen OS on my S7 these days. Anyone else sharing the same dream?

There are already ported launchers ... so maybe that can help.

Actually it's not about just the launcher. It's a dream of having that stable stock android on Samsung devices, which many of us have all the time.

yeh... i also need oxygenos for my s7

Please, somebody develop this for NOKIA 3 fans

Hi there guys, i want to ask if somebody can create a template for Nokia 3 without using a launcher. Or if possible, to create a modified ROM that is able to slide the apps from menu horizontally and not vertically, if it possible to remove the apps border from the home menu, if it possible to remove the white background in menu with an wallpaper, and to show the rounded icons.
Here is my idea:

Hey, Friend, I have Desktop for ROM building, i know how to build, but, on Google i can't find any source code of this phone, i have Nokia 3 too, and I don't think it is possible to mod or Modify ROM! Any Ideas?

Just thinking out loud....MIUI ROM development would be very much appreciated. I've always imagined nokia with miui running it.

miui is very hard to port, lineageos/rr/aosp is easier to port. We need to find ROM with same specs (same CPU, same GPU, same RAM) or similar specs. Just port ROM need to have same kernel version as stock ROM (3.18.35+ for Nougat or 3.18.60+ for Oreo).
I think because of the regularity of updates, people are less concerned about custom roms. At last I am less concerned about them. It says something when i'll rather stick with the stock recovery than with a custom one

i only care about custom roms because nokia stock roms are bad in performance because of a lot of system apps (deleting some system apps helped but still it's not that good) and a lot of RAM usage.

It's mentioned in another Nokia 3 thread here on XDA that the kernel and source codes ect are already available......
Here's the thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3/how-to/nokia-3-kernel-source-availble-t3791637
Kernel source is out for nokia 3
why there is no development on Nokia 3
even when the kernel source is released and bootloader is unlockable now

Probably because there is no development on other Nokia devices either?
Someone has asked for MIUI on the Nokia 3.
Why?
MIUI is absolutely terrible and not something I want to see or use.
I really think because of Nokia's almost stock android no one can really be bothered to develop them right now.
I might be wrong and would love to see a lineage or AOSP ROM but why bother if we are getting android P eventually? (As announced by Nokia / HMD a few weeks ago)

There Are Many Unwanted Apps And Blots In Nokia Stock Ui And Battery Performance Is Very Poor.

Unwanted apps? Name them? I don't have any unwanted or unnecessary apps, I have what I want and need and no bloat.
The stock UI is the best I've ever used, and battery is much better since the Oreo update.
I'll admit it was very poor running nougat.
Name me another cheap android device that getting updated to android P and gets regular Google security updates guaranteed for two years?
There isn't many......
Obviously your opinion is totally respected but I can only tell you I'm happy with my device as it is, no other device I've had recently gives me such a lag free or problematic time as the Nokia does, it's flawless (to me)
I do notice many complaints about the Nokia 3 though, so others must be using their device differently or more heavily than I do.
Anyway, what's that got to do with this discussion?
If no other Nokia devices are being actively developed do you really honestly think someone is going to start just because you think it has alot of unnecessary apps installed or the battery is poor?
No, of course not.
If there was a lineage or AOSP ROM I would use it, definitely.
I have a device on lineage 15.1 and it's very good.....
Edit
If no one is interested in developing this device then it won't happen, whatever you or me think.

Agree, it's really nice. I compared it to my Axon 7 and of course Axon 7 is faster but surprisingly Nokia 3 kept apps in multitasking same as Axon 7 and battery is much better. Battery is very good with both Oreo and Nougat.
I think the fact that there are regular updates is another reason why people aren't so charged up about custom roms.
I think lineage is still on 7.x, nokia 3 is on 8.x and will probably reach 9.x well before Lineage.
Also, if the source code had been available last year when the phones where still new, custom roms might have been made, but now it has become last year's phone.
Some of us also remember the hoops we had to go through just to unlock the bootloader.
Maybe when they no longer release updates for the phone, if it's still popular enough, people might start to develop again

MiUI 10 Porting for Pixel 3

Hi there,
I have been for years a Nexus user, but for a bit I have moved to other manufacturer. Now I am back to Google with this device, but seems that there is no modding... maybe the price of these device doesn't help and also the camera feature on them are very hard to replicate on other devices... However, I miss a lot the era when the Nexus were full of roms and you literelly could do everything with them... So, I was wondering that maybe someone would do a Miui 10 porting on the Pixel 3/XL ...
Many thanks,
A pixel user
No one is stopping you from doing it.
There is a lot of modding happening, XDA is just too toxic for it. Look far and wide. I'm on a custom ROM myself, P3 Blueline my G

Agreed, people here are getting arrogant every day
Would it be possible for you to PM me some of the links for p3 mod/custom roms outside of xda please ?
Can you share with us some tips and links. Thank you

[Future Request] Port Samsung One UI to Pocophone F1

I know it is strange but they released One UI beta on Samsung S8, S8+, S9 and S9+. I hope when it is released on stable, someone would port it on Pocophone.

Samsung is well-know for their closed-source and poor hardware-optimized ROMs, i thinks you should try OOS port and any AOSP, if you like cartoon look ui like samsung,why not stick with miui?

Do u guys actually used the ONE UI? Samsung's software was way too bloated in TOUCHWIZ days, now a days it got a lot better and in few ways feature rich(comparing to stock or AOSP with bare mimimum features for a phone).
Source: I own a POCO now, but also borrow friend's S9 occasionally.
OneUI is heaps beyond touchwiz or samsung experience ui. I have the s8 plus with the 3rd beta of One UI and it feels and looks great. I like how reachable the items are with just a hand.

Porting is different from being phone's native OS. You gotta read more about custom development.
Or just buy a Samsung device.
I'm also interested in this.

One UI on OnePlus 7 pro ?

Hi,
My previously smartphone is a galaxy note 8 and I liked one UI interface , status bar, and nav bar, application drawer.
And I would like to know if it is possible to integrate one UI in my OnePlus 7 pro ?
Thank you in advance
Cordially,
I highly doubt it BUT you could probably theme it with substratum if you wanted
No. And prob wont happen, OneUI is a lagfest and wont be a thing developers Will even think about.
Tbh id you liked OneUi u shouldve picked a Samsung for your new device. Oneplus is all about speed, stable + features that doesnt make your phone lag.

It's possible.
You just have to make it.
OneUI has made a LOT of improvements over its previous TouchWiz versions, but OOS is pretty awesome as-is. If you want a OneUI devide, get a Galaxy S10
I've had both, but prefer OnePlus device with OOS ecosystem!
I absolutely agree, I had an S9+ before and after switching to 7 Pro, I couldn't be any happier.
The development support on Galaxies just sucks, manufacturers have made it in a way that people can't but run only stock rom to their satisfaction.
And once you've tripped Knox, that's it, can never use SPay, Health, etc. ever. At least there should be an option to lock bootloader back again. Samsungs just suck big time.

Nothing is impossible, it can happen just like the op6
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-samsung-oneui-t3898627/page14
I had an s9+ for 3 weeks I really tried to like it, gave up and got the 6t then when the S10+ came out I bought it really tried to like it kept it for 2 months got really tied of the fingerprint frustrations and gave it up and got three 7 pro. I liked the S10+ but always missed the 6T. Battery and snappyness. Came to 7 pro and I was like f**k Samsung.
They use older processors, they give you crappy interface. Well I do miss 1 hand operations+. Root sucks on Sammy. Op all the way.
Guys please, he's not asking for a rant about OneUI, hes just asking if a port is possible.
To answer the question, yes it is most likely possible to port OneUI for our phone just like it was done with the MIUI, but it will be the full Samsung System then and no more OxygenOS. Apart from that I doubt that anyone is willing to take the enormous effort that is needed to take such a project
You can install GSI, but I doubt fingerprint, front camera, quick charge,... would work
I am a fan of OneUI but since using Oneplus 7 pro everything has changed .... I vote for Oneplus UI.
do not need One UI ROM, I have ordered the note 10+

Couldn't agree more. After buying oneplus one i couldn't buy any another one.
I bought all the oneplus devices and will buy in future for sure without any doubt. Community is great for oneplus.

Yea, sammy phones are bloated, but actually some features are really nice. If anyone would be able to port the weather widget, or the game launcher, that would be nice.

Moving from Pixel to Poco?

Hi all!. I used to be flashaholic guys and when they released Google Pixel series I immediately fell in love with them. However after using Pixel phones my flashaholic side seems to be gone because what I now want it GCAM for decent photos, + Google Stock ROM/Pure Android ROM. Long story short, I had to sell my pixel phones and currently I cant afford to buy new pixel phone. So that's when I saw this device Poco X3 with good XDA community where I can find pixel + pure android based ROMS. It would be really great if you guys can help me out with below question.
1. Are there any almost perfect/bugless pixel/pure android based ROMs for android 10?
2. Is there any perfect/good GCAM port for this device?
Like I said before, I highly appreciate you guys input and I asked those questions because I need to make a decision. I have high respect for the devs and the community.
Hey,
I have exactly the same story, always been flashing custom roms, kernels and stuff. But then pixels came in, i always loved stock android thus usually flashed aosp based roms, so pixels came in i got myself a pixel 2 and didnt flash a single rom on it to date, had been using it for like 3years now (since release date till this week)
Now i wanted a good phone but didnt want to spend a lot of cash so got myself a poco x3 because i saw developers community was active on xda, it has already got few roms and i think gcam port will be available soon but honestly for me the stock camera is pretty fine
It is a good phone, i like the camera too. For my usage which is social apps and books usually, it works fine. Havent faced a major bug so far except for that my camera switch was taking 2 - 3 seconds, cleaning the camera app data fixed that too
I think it is a good buy, gives a premium feel too. As

I haven't tried all roms but this far Arrow OS seems pretty nice, I tried both Pixel Experience 10 and 11 and I can't say they're good yet, 10 gave me a headache with Play Protect not being certificated and 11 has poor performance, Arrow on the other hand is really really smooth and looks clean, I flashed 'Fixy' kernel as well and performance wise runs so much better than MIUI with also better battery autonomy, you did a great buy, the Poco Is a great phone, the only thing I miss from my old OP5 is the oled panel.

Hey, i'm in the same boat. Recently my Pixel XL battery died (too old to repair) and was thinking of getting the Poco X3 due to buget. @crazykas did you buy one, would love to hear your feedback, especially from a person switching form pixel to poco

I'm so sorry mate. I didn't see your post and seriously don't know whether it is good time to reply back considering the time. Anyway I had some other urgent matters to fulfill , hence I couldn't buy the phone. However I'm planning to buy it by the end of this month (hopefully) and will let you know my experience if you still have not but the phone. Again I'm sorry for my late reply
