i know coding is hard but how come support for Samsung galaxy range is not finished like most phones is the hardware the problem or lack of source code to build up on

Good things come to those who wait
Its sad that the Nexus one wont be getting any official updates but I still have my hopes high about 3rd party roms. I just wanted to ask if anyone is determined to port it to the good ol Nexus?
You can check the development forums, there is already work being done. As far as a full port that probably wont be done till the source is released to AOSP. That should not happenen until after the Galaxy Nexus is officially released.
After the source is released I'm sure there will be ROM's developed for N1. It is still a good phone that plenty of people including deb's use. I would guess about 2 weeks or so after the source code gets released there will be ICS ROM's ready to be flashed.
Hello
I'm reading a lot of comment about people never buying a SAMSUNG phone again on this forum.
I believe it has something to do with CM team ( who are these guys? ) and the CPU type and source code.
Could you please care to elaborate? As I am planning on upgrading to GN2 but ofc I need root access and the latest OS all the time
Thank you.
Which post are you refering to? I just seem to see post saying how awesome the Note 2eand SIII are!

It's not just 1 post,
All around the forum , especially in the GN forum ( where I spend most of my time ) I see people complaining about Samsung devices in the future and how they will never buy another samsung again ...
I guess it all depends whether or not you want to run CM custom roms on your device.
Furthermore Samsung promised to release the Exynos sources...So we'll just wait and see
Problem ist that the source code is no available and without no new CM AOSP AOKP Roms possible. The company said in the past that they will release the code, but till today they don't.
Other companies like Sony did it better and supports the community. That's also a reason why great Dev won't work for our Note...
It's not impossible to bring new roms without sourcecode - we still have CM10 and will get CM10.1 - but the experience is not the best, and devs have to put A LOT of work to even make it work.
Samsung promised they will release their sources - yet untill today - they didn't. So it's simple as that, if they release sources - devs might finally fix some bugs and push CM10 into stable. Without sources we might never go out of nigthlies because some bugs might never get fixed.
As for SONY, yes they release all their sources, but remember that they used to be like Samsung untill their market share shrinked, so now they're most likely just trying to appeal to customers with that. Hope they won't change their mind about it when/if their sales go high again ( I'm looking at you Xperia Yuga )

Very true, but I think they don't give a ....about a few devs and users being frustrated when they sell millions of devices...Like most of the big selling companys

Samsung didnt want the devs to work for the android community because in the end it gives an advantage to google and its os. Samsung wants people to buy its phones because of their new features added in their TW that are not available on true android. They in the future wants their devices ti be free from the android pool. Because of the tiring update process. No source code release is just what keeps dev from moding their devices so they can market their new phones and limit those features in the old models. I dont think they will care about dev going to other vendors. Because once they got hold of a new indigenous OS. they will market its dev kits and hardware for developers and they know how to bring them back.

Hi to everyone outhere. Just pulled out my 4x of the shipping box, thought i'd do a little introduction (hoping it won't disappoint anyone)
My name is Rudjgaard, 27 years old Italian...compiler (developer sounds too much for my level )
I come from the sony xperia's where i worked on miui v2 & 4 and currently maintain the ParanoidAndroid thread for sony mdpi line.
I'm unlocking bl now, then will dump system rom to give it a look (though i don't expect major differences) and hopefully by the end of the week will start working for the community.
I like working in tandem with other devs, i also offer my computer for remote compiling/programming if anyone needs decent specs.
Feel free to pm me anytime for anything regarding possible projects to personal help i'll do my best to help out.
I believe this should suffice for now, looking forward to this new part of community,
Best regards,
Rudj

Well....it's my daily and only rom, i bought new phone when halo source was released so.....who knows....maybe....:angel:
Hey guys !
I've seen that the sources for the P10 were released last month, and since I didn't see anything here, I was wondering if we might see an AOSP ROM popping up on it in the near future, or if somebody was planning on working on one.
Thanks
