Request Kernel Sources from Samsung - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I don't know if this allowed or not, but with the official release of Oreo now rolling out it would be a good idea for people to request Sammy releases the official Kernel source for developers to crack on with AOSP. If people could do this that would be fantastic.
Instructions as follows:
1. Go to the opensource website: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=G950F (change the value to your device)
2. Click on the "inquiry" letter on the right side of the website
3. Enter your informations (Name/Email and so on), click on "inquiry type", "request for source codes"
4. Source code type: "kernel"
5. Write a message to request the
G950FXXU1CRAP Oreo source code (it's important that you mention the base)
6. Agree the terms and send it to samsung
Thanks to Mohammed in the Telegram chat for these instructions.
Let's get these sources and finally get the AOSP we deserve!

You won't get aosp from these sources, nougat sources has been out for a very long time and even then there isn't a fully functional aosp Rom.

FevaX is working on the development with some others. He was working on Lineage 14.1, but decided to hold out for 15.1 instead and Kernel sources.
We can only hope I suppose. I just think there's a lack of developers for our device in this regard but anything that will help FevaX and team would be great.

I mean I love seeing variety with roms we can flash, but like you said there just haven't been that many devs wanting to work on it. I personally won't be trying a aosp Rom if ever it comes to fruition, i would have bought a pixel phone if that was what I wanted but I know there is some sort of demand for it though so here for you guys to see a fully working release soon

[Q] Building AOSP (not CM) for the OPO, is it possible?

Hi, I've just received my OPO on the 27th. I was really interested in Android development when I had my Nexus 5 and started building my own AOSP ROM, I've been looking into doing the same for the OPO but am unable to find an actual way of building AOSP with Google's code. I know OPO released their AOSP kernel source here: https://github.com/OnePlusTech/android_kernel_oneplus_one and CyanogenMod has thiers here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_oneplus_msm8974 but I'm unable to work out a way of including these into my AOSP build and I would prefer to not build CM.
Note: I'd like to build AOSP myself, I'm fully aware that there is a current official OPO build available.
Thanks in advance,
Lewis

It's advisable that you create your own tree from the CAF MSM8974 using CM GPS and other drivers and build CAF AOSP. Otherwise, it's close to impossible/very difficult. Pure AOSP is again near impossible/very difficult for non nexus devices.
Thank you very much for the reply, so building AOSP is pretty much impossible then?
I was having a look around on the internet last night and came across this: http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...uild-aosp-kitkat-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/
Would there be a way of adapting this guide to allow for an easier build process of AOSP for our device? The other confusion that I face is if it's impossible to build AOSP for the OPO then how are ROMs such as this available?

VanirAOSP uses CM trees as of now. Again, CAF AOSP is basically AOSP for non nexus Qualcomm devices., and any experienced dev can whip up a tree and get it working. Also, reaally good devs can/may be able to port AOSP if they wanted. It's a matter of whether they want to do it or not.
That link is for Sony devices only because Sony already provides CAF trees as an OEM so devs can build.

Ah yes, I see what you're saying now. Thanks for clearing this up for me! I just noticed when I looked at the VanirAOSP ROM thread that it states CM for it's credits, haha. I apologize for my ignorance.
Hello
I would like to create my first rom for oneplus one but without modification from OMNI or CM, basically vanilla rom. but I have some doubts.
Can I create a rom based on AOSP with device tree from OMNI/CM right?
Thanks!

no more alternative rom....?

I saw different post where we can see, flashing magictrick file, that adb command work well to unlocked bootloader and to be able to install twrp ... and rooting oppo f1.... but there's no other rom to install... Should we wait only for the spectrum official project by oppo ?
i think ,just wait for cyanogen rom based on marshmallow...
The CM device tree is finished and has been done by Uberlaggydarwin. CM is now patiently waiting for Oppo to release the kernel source for the F1f. If you want to speed up the kernel source release by Oppo I suggest to start sending emails and demanding them. The more people do it the higher the chance Oppo will listen.

I have the source (both Project Spectrum and ColorOS from Aprilish) , I'm just super busy so I haven't fully rebased it on Project Spectrum yet. Let me know if you want to help though

Do you have the F1f kernel source too?
I was thinking about rebasing the R7S to Project Spectrum too but my first tests ended in the Camera constantly crashing. I don't think its a Camera Hal problem. Project Spectrum is still unstable and full of bugs. If they come out with a stable release a rebase would make more sense imho. For now I let the people use the PS aboot to unlock the device.

Will community continue to develop to this phone after cyanogenmod is done in 6 days?

Will community continue to develop to this phone after cyanogenmod is done in 6 days? As some of you may know Cyanogen inc had lots of issues so they decided to shutdown the company after 7 years of work. Some of the official devs started to tease a cyanogenmod reborn, named Lineage OS. You can find them on twitter, facebook, google+ and their new site lineageos.org . The site is still wip but i hope that Lineage OS will be developed for this phone and i dont have to throw my phone off the window just cause i dont have the latest update
As the source code will still available and the team is willing to continue, I see no reason for stopping, as long as our device maintainers support this device. But it may slow down a bit for a while, it's been a major transition after all. And rest of the custom ROMs might get affected too. Better to stay tuned in every thread possible, ours is not so big

youre right. i guess ill make sure im in the latest nightly in the next days if anything happens
The question is will CyanogenMod continue to live now that they have lost all support from Cyanogen, including build servers, monetary, and technical support... CyanogenMod will be renamed to LineageOS... The biggest problem is all development on Moto G 2015 (and many other Moto devices) is based on CyanogenMod, and there is no other source at this time. How will that play out? We don't know yet...
A well formed (and informed) answer from Stack Exchange's Android Enthusiast group:
CM's own blog is unreachable now, but XDA-Developers already summed it up and clarified some important bits:
All monetary and infrastructural support for CyanogenMod from Cyanogen Inc. will cease. -> CyanogenMod will no longer receive nightly builds after December 31st... unless the team finds another host to build nightlies.
The CyanogenMod team will not continue official development on the project.
CyanogenMod will rebrand as LineageOS.
Since it's clear that Cyngn is going in a new direction, Cyanogen OS will almost certainly have no future, since it's not community-driven in the first place. CyanogenMod, on the other hand, will live a bit longer, until Lineage dawns (or fails).

Wasn't Omnirom a fork of CM after the creation of Cyanogen Inc? As I recall all the developers were upset over going commercial and the future of cyanogenmod. Lineage OS would in essence be a fork of Cyanogenmod as well. I think it will really depend on whether they can find funding for some build infrastructure and how many developers jump on board.

The repositories are being mirrored (probably 'forked' is the correct term) into linageOS so I think we'll have a copy of our source code. And they said the source code for CM would still be available.

BTW, it isn't ending on Dec 31st like most people thought... it's ending prior to Dec 31st... They lost DNS and Jenkins yesterday, the blog is gone (so no reference to the official posts), official Cyanogen and CyanogenMod websites are down, and probably more that I haven't noticed mentioned yet are gone already.
But https://download.cyanogenmod.org is still live.
What would be the status of other custom roms that are based on cyanogenmod. Would they be affected ?

Of course...ALL ROMs for this device, except stock based ones, use the CM device tree and base code... Will LineageOS replace that? Right now it appears that way but time will tell.
To be honest, if CM/LineageOS doesn't make it... Probably 80℅ of all ROMs out there will disappear as we know them today, we really don't know the long-term effects this will have on the ROM community.
Some dumb questions:
1. LineageOS is the same team as CM?
2. There's a release date for the lineageOS and it will be compatible with moto g 2015?
3. To keep updated is better to wait or change to an AOSP based rom since AOSP will still be releasing?

1. Yes, to a point... for more information look at http://lineageos.org/Yes-this-is-us/
2. We don't know yet, they do not have build servers at the moment
3. I would wait, there is little chance of getting a working AOSP device tree at this time, but we will just have to wait and see.
The point is, right now we don't know exactly how this is all going to play out... we need to have patience and just see what happens.

They're not going to release a source for a closed beta I don't think, maybe when oreo drops officially yes as the source code thst was requested before was for official software available to everyone

[ROM][TEST]Nexus 5X (Bullhead) HCE Always(off screen payment) Testing rom (AOSP OREO)

Hi.
I've edited android framework code to make HCE(card emulation) feature without turning the screen on.
But I have no device to test this feature because of samsung knox .
So I built a test rom for bullhead.
This rom is based on OPR5.170623.014.
And I want to get feedback about this rom
1. The off screen mobile payment (HCE) feature works well?
2. Then Please let me know the battery time is acceptable or not.
compared to AOSP.
Plus! I do not guarantee this rom is not work properly
If your device broke with my rom, I can't do anything for that

Apply this patch to frameworks/
Download Gapps for 8.0.0.
Thank you.
No offense, but I think whoever tests this may want to see the source code for whatever you changed.
In my case I wouldn't test this unless I looked at the code and then compiled it myself. Really, it's nothing personal.
The "chain of trust" of most ROMs is that you can easily reproduce the binary version that you can download elsewhere by building from the available source code instead if you wanted to.
