Exynos development board crowdfunding - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion

Guys, jesec started crowdfunding project for Exynos development board:
https://www.generosity.com/community-fundraising/make-exynos-great-again
The goal is 5000 but 2000 should be enough to get the cheapest
board.
"The board will help support custom OS development (eg. LineageOS) of Exynos platforms by donating development board to developers. Development board ships with source codes which are critical to functionalities and optimizations of custom OSs.

[Q] Do you have my back? Senior Thesis.

I've proposed my thesis by bragging on support the online development community is so gracious to supply, in particular those in support of Open Source.
My plans to develop a fairly complicated application for my senior thesis seem daunting for 12 weeks. The only way I will feel confident enough to pull this off is if I have a communities support.
Are you there for this stranger?

Linux Kernel 3.3 Re-Integrates Android

Look at THIS
Does this mean we can more openly, run Linux on an Android phone (i don't know too many of the benefits other than virtualization)?
or will it just be easier for developers to obtain mainstream Linux code?
Either way, it s good news to know that the actual code that runs Android is gaining ground.
Most likely but why would you want to beyond proving the concept? Android is designed for the form factor... I'm so confused.

Well any improvements that come in the latter years of the Linux Kernel Development can hypothetically be available to develop for Google's Android Code.
Article does say that any Android device could run Linux 3.3 without any modifications/code hacks so the new kernel is at least more compatible with other Linux-based sources.
So for the enthusiast that ever thought about running full fledged Linux on there phone, providing that is has the 3.3 kernel, would make it easier to get it working.
(PLEASE move this thread to the Android Development: General section if necessary)
Man, I want an android now
Great, i want

Things will just continue to get even better!
what will be the main benefit?
Stuff like this it what will make android eventually dominate the market
Now officially Android is the most popular Linux But because of that some day Linux as name or brand may disappear.

[Q] difference in fourms

stupid newb question... what is the difference between the two subforums, Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development and Verizon Galaxy S III Original Android Development
One is more aosp stuff and heavily missed things song with kernels, while the other is stock based ROMs

Original Android Development is the place to post the following things;
* Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/
effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and
non-trivial.
*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of
original work is expected.
*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of
operation.
*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)
There will of course be some exceptions to the above list but that pretty much covers it all.
Android Development is for other development which doesn't meet the above criteria. That's why the majority of ROMs/scripts/tweaks etc are found in this section.

Original Development, What is it?

Hey Moto X Users!
Now, how is the Original Android Development section different from our Android Development section?
Afaik, the Original Development section was born in the Samsung Galaxy SII forums, after a growing need was realized, that is to recognize "true" development.
"True" development often got lost among the kang and themed winzip's which had unfortunately started clogging a major part of the S2 Development section.
The Original Development section is not to be percieved as a "competition", or a way to discount other's hardwork, or a way to boost someone's virtual ego.
It's purpose is to devote an area to development which is a "significant first" for a device, a place to appreciate the first which made other's work possible, and to hopefully encourage more such firsts for the device.​
What belongs to the Original Android Devleopment section?
Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them.
Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development).
What does NOT belong to the Original Android Development section?
Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.
Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.
Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.
Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.
A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.
A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)
That's it for now. More useful info shall be added later on, when the need arises

This thread is to inform all the new developers, new to XDA who have developed something before posting to the Original Section. . It may be useless for you but might provide valuable for someone else.
This information is well placed IMO, as many people don't know what really belongs in original dev section, and what doesn't.
Most other forums are having this as well inside the orig dev section.
To avoid further discussions: thread closed.

Rules for Posting in ORIGINAL Development Forums

Just wanted to clarify what the differences are between android and original development. Here are some KEY points by our very own pulser_g2.
The following are most likely “Original Development”:
*Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
*Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
*A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
*Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
*ROMs where the developer has made a custom kernel for it.
*Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
*Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)
The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:
*Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favorite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.
*Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.
*Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.
*Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.
*A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.
*A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)
You can find all the info for it here. Threads will be moved if they do not meet the "Original" development requirements. Thank you guys and have fun!
NOTE: IF YOU ARE UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT YOUR WORK QUALIFIES FOR OD THEN POST IN ANDROID DEVELOPMENT AND CONTACT A MODERATOR TO REVIEW IT. THANKS!
