[Q] Should we start demanding JW4 source?

As per the topic title, should we start demanding the JW4 source from Samsung?
If I am correct, it has been 6 months since the last source update?
What are your thoughts?

Ask them.
If they give you the full source of everything they can give you a source, upload it and the community will praise you... and Sammy

Demands probably won't get you very far. What Samsung does, or rather, how they do it, is really a courtesy. I'm sure in time they'll offer it, and our ROMs will benefit greatly from it.
Asking never hurts though!

It is their legal obligation under the gpl. I don't think "demand" is too strong.

The propietary drivers and code isn't under GPL, and they are not required to provide us.

i think they will release the code as latest present for us...
i have asked them to rls and waiting for an answer if i got some i will post it here
i think some more should ask them to release, but dont demand or get angry... the source is not gpl or something like that

sure would be nice to ask, would help GB rom development im sure.

When we get official update from Samsung we will get sources, it was same when we got official gingerbread update. Don't worry you will get proper big ram karnel that doesn't break anything. Have patience people.

[BOUNTY] ICS or JB Rom for Revolution

I'm taking this idea from timmytim over in the tf300t forums (we need a bootloader adjustment, he made the bounty and xplodwild fulfilled it).to be working for the tf300t, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942369) so I thought we may as well try it here.
I personally pledge $20 to whomever is able to port/create an ICS or JB rom for the Revolution. Devs, please help us. There are many of us left here with this fantastic, but under-supported device. If you can help us, we'd be happy to return the favor.
If you too are cursed with not having enough $ to upgrade etc (or don't want to buy new hardware to replace fully functioning equipment), please pledge to donate to a dev (real pledges only please).
and for those that doubt. If you think this is a hopeless endeavor, if you believe this phone is dead (which many do), then you may as well pledge some $. There is nothing to lose. If we finally get the development we need, it will certainly be worth as much as a paper toss game in the play store. and besides, devs need our thanks in general (I'm considering building a retroactive bounty for Mt).
PS: PG, if you pull off your CM port, this hopeful bounty is all yours.
Lets try and revive this guys. It's a solid phone, it just needs a little love (and google now).
I'll keep track of the pledges in post #2

Reserved for tracking total etc.
Update 02/26/13: Total Pledge: $210!
If you have been thanked by me, your pledge is included in the total.

Sorry it isn't much but I'll add $5 into the pot. I don't have much time left with the revo but had a great experience with the community here! This is my first android phone and am thankful for the development for it!

5$! Sorry it's not much, but whatever works right?

five bucks is plenty really. Thank you!
now if we can just get some more people to pledge and get a devs attention we might be in business

Posting here works fine. If you all keep up with my Esteem progress then you already know I jumped to CM10. I will copy and make the needed changes to me repo for the Revo soon, trying to get it in some sort of usable state.

Need domination beta testers

Hi all!
Yes I'm back again
CM10 dropped for the p990
So I'll try to do my best to compete with my fellow devs and friends Tony and Temasek hehe
I don't own a p990 anymore so I'm searching for a couple beta tester for testing the new domination jellybean
I'm searching for people that know how to make logcats, dmsg's and how to recover their phone when it isn't booting the ROM properly
Since I don't have the phone the ROM "might" be stuck at the booting process
It is booting perfectly fine on a lot of different phones models so It should be no problem
Any how I'm searching for 2 beta testers
Thanks in advance!

Big wellcome back
Would really love to testing your stuff. But I'm not that good in logcats and so on.(but I can learn )
I do know how to brick/unbrick my phone and have been testing out a huge amount of roms since summer -11.
Hopefully you will find your testers and make some magic
(Waiting patiently for new good roms to try out)

Oh man! Owain, nice to see you back! Had best experience on your roms.. I'l wait until you need more testers, coz i'm not always in touch.. But thanks for joining..

I'd love to test it but I don't have much time atm.. would be cool anyway though.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app

That's great news Owain!
I've used your ROM on my Defy before I broke its screen and it was awesome!
I'd be honored to test your ROM. I believe I fulfill all the requirements. Plus, helping you would be a good learning experience.
good luck with your endeavour even if I end up not being a part of it.

Ok..
M in..
I know how to recover dead/bricked phone.
For logcat, there are few apps, i can use them.
I m IT student and will learn quickly new things.
So m in and available for hardcore testing.

Owain,nice to see you back, and wellcome back,

Nice to see you around, Owain
I do wonder why you don't work on a new MIUI ROM instead? All the current MIUI ROMs are completely outdated, and yea, there are plenty of MIUI fans around, just imagine the fans if we get someone like you to further develop it
Your call of course, either way, I wish you the best of luck. Personally, I don't have enough time to be a part of this, I'm afraid.

I am really looking forward to see new roms based on CM10. To be honest I think it is too early as CM10 has too much bugs. I would at least wait 2 weeks until the most problems are sorted out.

Sorry but I will state my opinion every time I think it makes sense. Actually you are right that there are not much bugs. But that the Mic gets muted and that there is call noise during call are major bugs and really show stoppers. Before this issues are fixed it just makes no sense to release any rom.
Of course that does not mean it is not the time to start baking a few nice roms. It is just too early to release. However owain already stated that he will not release the rom yet due giving respect to RC. I think this is the way to go. Now it is just a closed beta. I am really looking forward to see this rom when work is done :good:

bye to o4x owners for now

Just wanted to let you know that o4x has sung its last song here, as it got sold recently. This means that i will not be able to support the o4x any longer.
but thanks to all o4x owners supporting my mods and hacks, i am sure many enjoyed the early releases, so o4x didn't go all bad, when things looked worse.
and no, i have not chosen a new phone to replace it, i am still happy with my GNII. but i do plan to look more closely at HOXv2 when its available in Denmark.
thanks for all!!

[Q] Would Official CM for S3 Mini benefit us?

While browsing through the device list at the Cyanogenmod download page I found a place holder for the Galaxy S3 Mini. Might be that sooner or later there'll be an Official CM release for it. Do you guys think it would boost our development as well due to the same chipset?
Simply search for Samsung devices and scroll down. http://beta.get.cm/search

Not exactly we have the same with s3 mini but yeah it can. Even now, the devs from various device with similar chipset (including ours) are helping each other out in sorting out the remaining bugs in cm. So the development for these devices are the same. :good:

Mine, definitely will be a XPERIA (either SP or ZL) because they have support of Jerpelea (FXP) and DoomLord, i've seen their threads (SP and ZL) ZL already has FXP support for CM10.1 and it's confirmed for SP, so, your decision :/
And, XPERIA seems to have a lot more build/material quality than Samsung devices :/ even if ours are easier to hack but their system security makes the user know they put more effort on the things they do.
Did someone already saw Sony Xperia's YouTube channel? They make more than one awesome commercial for each phone they sell, while ours barely has one and it's from Italy (i don't mean it's bad but more countries doesn't even care). They develop more software to better the user experience (Bravia Engine, X Loud, Clear Audio).
Blame me if you want, but i'd wish Samsung paid more attention to user experience for each phone instead focusing the reflectors just to Galaxy S series (just flagships) more people would take more seriously their phones or products...

if matt absolutely right, the problem is that this drawing samsung thousand and smartphones but does not support them, while Sony takes less smartphone but are optimized to 100%, and most interesting features ... in the end I think that after this cycle ends my samsung :/ (unless the nexus samsung come either), do not say that your smartphone is bad, but Samsung was allowed to stand and the other phone companies are taking better or talk about what he's up to now motorola: z

One correction!
Codeworkx or cdesai or any other dev for that matter do not work for money..
They work if they wish. These guys can get cm to boot on any device within 2 days. But they support many devices simultaneously. So they opt for devices with large user base.
Cdesai is a kid, he wouldn't care about money anyhow! Donations are just an appreciation for their work..
