Hello it's my first post in the Nexus S forums, probably not the latest
History for the Nexus S sources begins now.
Original source is here :

By Brian Swetland, Android kernel developer
Nexus S kernel source for those wanting an early start: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/samsung.git (make herring_defconfig)

Yeah, that's wonderful. I think for a developer it's a sufficient reason for itself to get this phone
Awesome
Nero+dow1.4+oclf
So that the devs can keep the "rooted within hours after release" benchmark. Google rock!

Fastboot oem unlock makes that unnecessary
Hopefully this allows us to have 720p

Barrel of fun so far! lol
This makes me want this phone. I love my Cappy, but Google is so much more on the ball than Samsung....
Supercurio: get one Nexus S please, your kernel work will be highly appreciated
I feel like I'm going to burst from excitement!
Can anyone who is well versed, take alook around and see if there's video out of 3.5mm or even video over usb setup?
Go on with Galaxy S !!

Hey...HEY! What are YOU doing here?! So, you are camping out at Best Buy tonight in the lovely weather you have out that way?
Nexus S kernel (and other resources) will improve software performance on Galaxy S.
Anyone to postulate on this comment?
Need to keep digging, but I could not find the info in the kernel. Is the gps the same infamous bcm4751? All drivers here refer to bcm47xx...

Probably. But making work GPS will require work, and some other feature willl miss.
2.3 Source available now
Now only time will tell what great things the Dev community will do
Just a word of the wise from JBQ:
"Even though Nexus S is designed to be suitable for AOSP work, there
are some caveats. I very strongly recommend against trying to use
Nexus S for anything related to AOSP at the moment. Trying to unlock
or use your Nexus S for AOSP work could easily turn it into a Nexus B
(where B means "brick"); I have two of those, they're not very useful.
I'll send some guidelines about what is currently possible once I've
finished pushing the source code.

On Sina Weibo,when someone from Xiaomi posted a tweet
"We again urge those who familiar with adoption of MIUI help adopt MIUI v5 to more phone. Our upcoming plan is develop for Galaxy S4 and HTC One. Bevause we seriously lack of developer, that's probably all we can do before end of the year. Contact mcming_小米 if you are interested"
A user asked in reply "So how about Nexus 4?" And he said "already given up, I think Stock is better for Nexus 4"
And another user replied subsequently "Why you think Nexus 4 better stay stock? Is it because you want to reduce competition of Xiaomi MI-2?" he replied "If you don't think stock rom is good, why do you buy Nexus 4?"
and he also said in another post:
"Adoptation of MIUI on third party devices are based on their active user count within China. We believe stats from Baidu and Taobao. And we also support some local brand quality phone with fewer user base because of our love on Chinese local phone. They may not buy Xiaomi for some purpose, but as far as they buy quality Chinese phone, they are user of MIUI. For non-Chinese brand's phone, other than Samsung/HTC, user base are too small amd it's meaningless to support them."
*All quote above are translated by myself and sorry for poor translation.
But he's right, Miui is not good on our phone... It runs pretty bad. Gone are the gingerbread days. Most people just use miui only for the lighter theme anyways...

Have you ever tried MIUI on a Nexus 4? It runs nearly perfect and faster and smoother than the stock Rom.
A nice video to see what I mean:

"Android Firewall" app from the play store is working for you or do you mean the one built-in by miui?
If you can please confirm I may just switch with Ak kernel...

Well, if you ask me, this thread is insignificant. No offence at all.
MIUIAndroid mako builds are being taken seriously by Mark. He never abandons anything that he has already started and so is in the case of N4.
We don't need to worry, once Mark sets out the word that his builds are stable enough with every App and feature working, Xiaomi will surely consider it in :good:
The nexus 4 beta roms are being posted at miui along with 48 other devices, so its not completely unsupported. My personal experience is the ROM is very smooth and performs really well. And there are a number of efforts on this from itself, at last count 3 threads in the dev forum on miui roms.
The latest 3.6.13 posted gets around 17250 on antutu stock and is buttery smooth. The one by Soul_Raider on this forum is also excellent and extremely smooth. Most of the bugs have been fixed. Its definitely worth trying.

Same thoughts here. But only thing I'm really missing - full working miui camera app. Stock google cam, kinda out of overall design(
Build process
Can anyone elaborate more on the work of individual developers regarding this rom?
I do not understand the players in this game. what does Xiomi develope? and what does Mark and others developing? how do they use Xiomi work?
I really love MIUI (back from the days of S1) but i want to know development is not going to stop on this before i install it.
Hi Guys ! Is somebody already trying to boot Cyanogenmod ? I'm a reverse engineer, have done quite a bit of development work on CM11 for the S4 I9500 and just ordered my Note 4 snapdragon and planning to run and optimize CM12 on our Snapdragon Note 4

Yes, I'm hoping more developers will switch to this device and will start working on booting and running CM as smooth as possible. I just ordered my note 4 yesterday, I still have to wait 2 weeks to receive my device (I don't live in a snapdragon country), hoping to work together with some other devs but if not, going to give booting CM myself a try and will update and report here for sure !
I'm new to the Note line so I have a question. Does the S-Pen work (just work, non of the fancy features) with custom Roms or do devs need to optimize it?
I would love to see it running Lollipop.
Patience... is the key. It will happen.

The spen will work on any rom but samsung specific apps like snote will only work on samsung based roms. On cm based roms there are alternative apps like papyrus and on the note 2 there were specific spen apps made for cm roms so guess the same thing will probably happen on the n4

"This forum is intended for XDA members to find or discuss development on the Galaxy Note 4, including ROMs, kernels, rooting, mods and much more, specifically for the Qualcomm Snapdragon variant of the Note 4."
Sounds like the right place to me.
Anyway on topic: here's the general porting method: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro and here the samsung code: http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=910f
Unfortunately going by what Samsung released previously, we'll need code directly from Qualcomm, did anybody find chipset code for the 805 already ?
And here's the Lollipop Nexus 6 (of course also running snapdragon 805) code:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-lollipop-source-pushed-to-aosp/
Oh and also found this thread, should be helpful to get a start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532873
Anyway, getting my device in 2 weeks, hopefully around that time CM12 will be released too, mabye we should wait for that anyway, but I wanted to start this thread already to function as a knowledge sharing thread regarding getting cyanogenmod running on the Note 4. Going to do some digging in the sources codes already and see what's there and what's missing.

Sorry but I really miss your point man. This is development and most importantly, this is Snapdragon: this thread has really not much to do with Exynos (which most likely will never even run CM12, at least not in the next year), so I really don't see in which forum it would be more ontopic than this one. If you disagree, let me know in which forum you feel it should be posted in and why and if it makes sense, I'll ask the mod, but again, I really don't see it.

Wow, that's really wonderful news, you made my day man, thanks !!! :good: :fingers-crossed: Can't wait to flash it (need to wait 2 weeks to get my hands on the device though, damn, hehe). I've done quite a bit of work on the i9500, Ironing out bugs by reverse engineering stock ROM and my goal is to make CM12 on our Note 4 the best Cyanogenmod experience so far ! Man, really cant wait !
I just got mine yeaterday im super excited. I'm really surprised how steady it feels in hands. It doesn't feel like a Samsung device at all. My babe is already rooted and unlocked just waiting on lollipop

Hi, does anyone know if it was issued a Rom or porting miui for Nexus 6? Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
I don't know why would anybody want Miui running in a Nexus XD.
I would actually give miui a shot. It worked magically on my HD2, I can only imagine how it is now

maybe, in your eyes. but we are all different people that have different expectations. anyways, people have been asking for miui since the end of last year, and some have even tried to port it. but, its not going to happen. why? because miui is on kitkat and the n6 has never ran kitkat or have the drivers for it.

I understand that, and know it to be true, however, it doesn't change the fact that MIUI IS, in general, one awesome OS, whether it's a fit for the N6 or not.

Why do you blame the developer while getting bugs on a alpha version?
OEMv2c is still an alpha version
And at the moment are the xz2/c/3 the only real usable devices in the new 4.14
(Xperia 1/5 too somehow)
It just takes time, developers are humans with a 8 hours work day or less if they do it as an volunteer work for free for you the enduser in their spare time after a full day of hard work to pay their families and the bug is already known
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
By the way
The Sony open devices project by Sony makes development and kernel upgrades much easier.
But more volunteers working for free for you === faster progress
