[Q] Install Android on Samsung Focus S

Is it possible to install Android on Samsung Focus S? I see where people did it for the original Focus, but no mention for Focus S.

no, we don't have the ability to make and use WP7 ROMs let alone Android ROMs

PureViewClub: S5 is 1st android smartphone that comes close and even surpass L1020

http://pureviewclub.com/2014/22475
But so far I have never seen any Android camera come this close to – or (to be completely honest) even surpass – Nokia’s PureView technology. You’ll find all original shots from this post on Flickr. Please have a look at those and tell me what you think.
I’m still not done testing of course, but after this comparison I must admit I’m really impressed with what Samsung has been doing with the camera of the new Galaxy S5. In fact, I have the impression it’s the first real contender since I started the PureViewClub. Coming from me, that’s a compliment

Had S4 and Note 3 before, now i'm using Lumia 1020 i know what Samsung can do with cameras in their smartphones but i wasn't expecting this!
What Samsung achieved with this 16MP sensor is impressive!

Please help keep things organized by posting in already established threads instead of creating new ones.

AOSP ROM necessities

Ok. First I would like to say I personally do not own a Samsung galaxy s6/edge. However, I have played around with one at length at the T-Mobile store, and I can definitely say touchwiz still isn't for me. While I was there at T-Mobile I saw a nexus 6 on display and decided to take a look at it. I absolutely fell in love with it for 2 reasons. One, for the size. Two, stock android. The first one is not a deal breaker when it comes to the s6. However, I find stock android MUCH better than touchwiz. Now I understand that making an AOSP ROM for the s6 is hard because of the exynos processor and all, but I really love the physical design, camera, fingerprint sensor, and heart rate monitor. All of this being said WHEN an AOSP ROM starts to be made please contact me so I can put my input in the development for features and stuff.
Stuff that would be ABSOLUTELY necessary.
1. Fingerprint capabilities. (on lockscreen, google play account, and to open certain apps maybe??)
2. Basically stock touchwiz camera. (with double press Home button to get camera feature)
3. Integration of the heart rate sensor. (Just allow apps to use it)
4. Super Stock animations (like on the nexus)
5. A close all button for the multitasking window
Stuff that is optional
1. Certain features not present in AOSP (like keep awake while you are looking at the phone P.S. I forgot what Samsung called it)
2. Xposed Framework module "swipeback" integration (I love that feature in ios)
3. Rest is open to community suggestions. Go wild! just remember this is AOSP based and hopefully won't be too crazy. Performance
and "butter smoothness" are of the utmost importance.
Will get the s6/edge in either March or April (2015)

Stuff that would be ABSOLUTELY necessary.
1. Fingerprint capabilities. (on lockscreen, google play account, and to open certain apps maybe??) - Not going to happen. Stock Android does not support biometric security yet and this is a secured element of the device.
2. Basically stock touchwiz camera. (with double press Home button to get camera feature) - Again, not going to happen. The TouchWiz camera is built heavily ontop of the Touchwiz framework and is almost impossible to port. An application for Xposed can enable any hardware key combo to access the cam.
3. Integration of the heart rate sensor. (Just allow apps to use it) - Unless Google Fit builds it in and the framework support is through there I dont expect this to happen.
4. Super Stock animations (like on the nexus) - ROM's can change this
5. A close all button for the multitasking window - CM and most AOSP built roms have this
Stuff that is optional
1. Certain features not present in AOSP (like keep awake while you are looking at the phone P.S. I forgot what Samsung called it) - There are apps that can enable this
2. Xposed Framework module "swipeback" integration (I love that feature in ios) - There are modules for this and apps that can help here
3. Rest is open to community suggestions. Go wild! just remember this is AOSP based and hopefully won't be too crazy. Performance and "butter smoothness" are of the utmost importance. - With the Exynos processor this may take some time since a lot of it is closed source
Will get the s6/edge in either March or April (2015)

I dont want to burst your bubble since you are new, but that really isnt the way to go about asking for features in ROM's and no one is going to "contact you" when something is in development.
That being said I replied to your stuff in bold in the quote. That being said I highly doubt you will be satisfied with this device based on your demands and recommend looking for a device like the One Plus One or a Nexus that has a lot of what you want.

+1
you'll have a LONG wait if you think a developer is going to contact you for input on a list of things that cant readily be included in a rom anyways..
plus, what makes you think a developer would want your input??????

The fingerprint scanner, heartrate monitor, etc.,. (samsung specific features/capabilities) can't be supported with AOSP ROMs.
Sorry.

1. I do realize a lot of this stuff is not possible and might take a LONG time to develop.
2. You don't have to burst my bubble, I know it's unlikely. However, I was just feeling creative and wanted to put out my wishlist if all of this were possible
3. When I say AOSP, I really mean AOSP based. I thought incorporating the fingerprint sensor would be fairly easy? just create a few API's with Kernel??
4. I have no idea why I said "contact me" I must've been on something lol.
Thanks for the reply btw. Also too, I love the nexus 6 and I would take it over the one plus one any day. However, I will still give into the s6 cuz of da fingerprint and better processor.

Considering most of the things you are asking for will never happen, it is not matter of the "lenght'. i.e: the camera...this request been in demand since the gs3 (my first android device) I doubt it is going to change anytime soon.
Finger print for touchwiz is the same as camera for touchwiz...
Great way to provide inputs to by giving a "how" on how to do things for what you are requesting. Can always start a "how" in the development section for group projects when it become available for the s6.

Dude you gotta get these ideas out there... PM all the recognized devs on xda fast. This is way bigger than just the S6

I'm guessing this is sarcasm but I usually can't get the sarcasm straight from context. Is it?

Yes Sheldon. It is sarcasm.

Samsung RAW Support

Hello, guys. I've just started a petition to Samsung about bringing us the joy of RAW camera shooting. I'm not sure how much of you actually care about this Lollipop feature, but if you have the time, please, support the initiative and sign the petition. Here it is:
Enable RAW support on latest Samsung devices
P.S: For those who truly are enthusiasts I guess it would be best if you help me spread it amongs the users who might care. I intentionally haven't mentioned any particular device model since I hope to reach users of other Galaxy devices as well.
Thanks for your support!

sent :highfive:

It would be great in if they just implemented the entire camera API 2!

I'm with you. RAW was pretty much the only Lollipop feature I was interested in. Without it being implemented I've been quite happy to stay on KitKat.

Even the HTC One M9 has RAW support now, smh Samsung

I read somewhere here that they plan on adding it(as part of camera2) but the qualcomm models currently suffer from slow response times when camera2 is enabled in the firmware(even when not in use)

I agree with you, RAW is such an important thing HTC M9 already added the RAW option in an update to the M9 camera because I believe HTC DOES really care about the M9 owners.
While Samsung is delaying Note 4 updates because of the " Gear VR headset " !!!!!!!!!!!
who cares about it ???!!!!
I believe that Samsung should bring RAW support & free the Note 4 kernel from Gear VR headset firmware & convert it to a normal APK file to any one need it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a malicious apk. Android won't install it and nviso determines it malicious.
