[Completed] [Q] S8500: Lollipop 5.0 or 5.0.2 or Omni 5.1 - your experiences

Hi everybody,
currently I am using Android 4 (OMNI) on my Wave S8500 next to Bada (still using Bada sometimes since I ve got the livelong version of Route66).
I appriaciate the possibility to have both OS installed and ready for usage in parallal but I appreciate even more the usage of Android OS from SD card instead of internal memory since it is way faster!
Unfortunately the accu capacity when running on Android is only 1 to 2 days while compared with Bada 2.0 and similar usage pattern it lasts one entire week! (What a pitty that samsung did not take any benefit from having such a promising OS together with such a volume of devices sold mobiles, TVs, tablets whatever.)
In addition I've random freezes quite unreproducable which makes using Android quite unreliable. But all in all I am quite satisfied and really deeply grateful that Android for my wave even exists! I need to use it above all for calendar synchronisation (and also whatsapp meanwhile).
No I came across the possibilities of having version 5 of android to be used on S8500. But I could not find any suitable answers which version to go?
The one described here in (dev-thread) seems to be still in some early stages. Something similar seems to be the case for this version while non-working parts are partly mentioned.
I also found this description but without any additional information!
Does anybody have any hint or idead or suggestion for which version to go or whether number 5 is still not mature enough to be used as daily standard?
What are your experiences or suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Bye

Android Smartphone manufacturer with open camera driver / framework for AOSP / Lineag

Hello,
I bought several smartphone in the past until now and I always want to use them as long I can.
So Android obsolescence comes quite quickly once a smartphone arrives on the market (around 2 or 3 years after). We lose security patches, capability to use upper android version.... So each time I try to use custom ROM based on AOSP or Lineage / CM BUT I lose the capability to make decent photo with the Camera.
Currently it is unacceptable because I have to immortalize best moments of my life (childs, family ...).
The questions are simple : Do you know Android smartphone manufacturer or specific models with open / published camera drivers / framework that can be used on AOSP / Lineage OS?
I have the same question, if a manufacturer publish camera drivers that be used on upper Android version (EX: published for Marshmallow but useable on Oreo).
Thanks
There isn't one. This is the difference between open source and closed sourced drivers. The cameras and drivers are not even made by the device oem.
Updates these days are not that bad. You get a flagship and it will easily last 5 years. Even if 2 of them are only with security updates.
Hello zelendel,
Thank you for this reply.
In consequence all smarphone suffer of the same miseries. There is no way to get a Lineage with the same camera quality than stock experience due to closed source?! :crying:
Pretty much yes. I have not found a single device that doesn't suffer. It's one of the things you give up when you swap over to aosp base. Just like when using Linux. You lose anything special the oem did.

Development of a ROM Android pie for the Huawei Y5 2018 or DRA-LX3

Who can develop an Android ROM 9.0 pie for the Huawei Y5 2018 or DRA-LX3 version of 1GB of RAM and 16 storage which comes with Android Go edition which I find very limited to my liking
i would love if someone make a custom rom for this device, i just got one as secondary device for work and i think is really good for the price(Screen is great, battery life is also great, looks ok) but my main problem are the GO apps (Gmail Go, YouTube Go, Maps Go, etc...) that get crash all the time and if a change to another app or if the device locks the apps always reset and is super annoying specially with the Maps app, before this i was using another Huawei with also 1gb of RAM and older android version and all those apps where running smoothly so i think is fault of the Go version of android oreo
I bought this phone a couple of weeks ago mostly for the price. The phone would be great, but the apps just close themselves, any app that is a little more demanding would close instantly. I contacted huawei, but they just told me to do a bunch of useless solutions to optimize the phone that obviously didn't work and they ignored me when i told them that the problem was the "Go" version of the Android Oreo. Anyway it would be awesome if someone would make a pie ROM for the huawei Y5 2018 or Dra-lx3, or another version that's not "Go". Is the only solution i think for this phone since an update solving the problem from huawei is unlikely to arrive any time soon.
Hi...
I experienced the same problem of @Jyroux and @NateXIII
... the apps just close themselves, any app that is a little more demanding would close instantly...

even, the apps close themselves suddenly!
I wish some improvement, looking for a naked versione of Android (Oreo or Pie...it doesn't really matter).
Have you any info?
Thanks a lot & CIAO!
Hi friends, I have the same problem.
Has someone managed to root the device?
Could you tell me how I do it please?

If a developer that had the ability to build a ROM owned one of these devices, they would already have built a ROM for it. Since there are no ROMs available, one can assume that no such developers own this device.
Building ROMs requires having one of the devices on hand to test what is built. If you want a developer here to build a ROM this device, you'll have to buy another device like this and donate it to the developer, otherwise, you can try learning to build the ROM yourself or you can give up on the whole idea.
You are much more likely to get a ROM for this device by learning to build it yourself, that will probably happen sooner than finding someone to do it for you. No one is going to take the time to build a ROM for a device they do not own or do not use, especially for free.

You can flash a GSI, which is kind of a generic rom, if you have bootloader unlocked.

Android One

Hello everyone,
I was searching for Android One topics here and unfortunately found nothing ( probably because of the confusing name)
So can someone explain what's up with this Android One software overlay.
I read some info on wiki but still have some questions:
Is it like normal firmware that only comes with certain smartphones, or you can flash it yourself?
It's a near stock android but, which version is it based on,
does it come out every time new android version rolls out, or it just gets updated to the new one.
and lastly let's say I have android one phone, and after three years they stopped regular updates,
it's still android one compatible phone right, so I can update to the new version myself?
Thank you.

Hi, Android One are phones that run a lite weight version of Android for budget phones with small specs (under 2Go of RAM, entry level processor,...) called Android Go. It's supposed to give a fluid experience to phones with limited capacity. Each Android Go version (for each Android One device) is in consequences very specific to the device, in order to use efficiently all of what the different specs has to offer.
You can still build ROMs/TWRP for those devices, and use it as a normal device, but the experience will be much slower. So to answer your 3 questions:
1)It's firmware that only comes with certain phones, it's build to use perfectly the SoC and memory, so it's very specific (not generic like GSI)
2) Android One are phones, Android Go is the Android version. Your phone may or may not receive an update to the Next Android version, on that side it's the same as other phones. If it receives an update, you'll run (for example) Android 10 Go Version. So update exists for Android One phones, they won't stay for ever at the same Android version they had at the beginning.
3) when your phone won't be supported anymore, you won't be able to update your phone to another version of Android Go. You'll still be able to flash ROMs or stuff like that, but since Android Go builds are very specific to each devices, you can't flash them "cross devices".
PS: at the moment I've not heard of Android 10 Go Edition, it's still at Android 9 if I'm correct. But it will be updated, the goal of Android one is to support cheap and often not long lasting phone over time.

Huawei Share, OneHop on Oneplus 7 Pro

Hey, I recently purchased a Huawei matebook 14, and I got curios into its build in Huawei share function, OneHop.
Here is a YouTube video that demonstrate it
watch?v=zMu9CsHBqPk
As far my knowledges goes, it works using NFC, WiFi Direct and Bluetooth.
So I was wondering if I could install some software on my phone, and make it work on a non Huawei device. I am currently using oneplus 7 pro, running with Oxsygen OS 10.0.7.GM2 1 BA. The newest android version available to this date on my device.
I have searched around the web a little, but did not get any wiser on the subject.
I would higly appreciated if someone could share their knowledges with me.

You probably can't install it as-is on the OP7 Pro. You will probably have to port/modify the app to work properly on OP7 Pro. You will have to do your own research and your own work to learn how to modify it yourself.
