Database Develop

Coming from a Hero and a Moment to a Captivate. Where are we Dev wise?

Is there a catch all guide to what has been developed for the Galaxy S platform? I'm curious about the state of CM6 and something akin to Tkirton's apps2sd. Just want to read up on what's going on before my phone arrives this week.
Thanks.

read some of the top threads would be a good start, and the stickies
No custom roms yet, but SRE 1.0 hack is amazing

CM6 is in the works for the Vibrant, nothing for the captivate yet, but I am sure it wont be to hard to port the vibrant version over.

Not biased at all
(But seriously he did a kickass job)

Its just depressing to see Vibrant listed for future support for cyanogen roms, while the captivate is not. Hopefully the port is easy.

Last I heard they where making a universal cm6 for galaxy S. Perhaps working on the vibrant but end goal would make it universal. Oh well...perhaps i was wrong it wouldn't be first and def wouldn't be the last.

Same hardware so I don't see the problem with getting CM6 to work for us. Hell the Vibrant one might work straight across.
Side question, has anyone tried flashing a captivate with a vibrant kernel?

pretty good chance that CM6 should work as is, I'm running Vibrant6 at the moment with no issues other than the TMO stuff but that is nothing to worry about

I'm actually using the Vibrant source release to build my Captivate kernels. They're about the same but many things are missing from the Captivate sources. The compiled kernels are quite different though - the two version are built with different configurations and have different files in initramfs.

A couple of reasons
1) there isn't any 4 G coverage where I live and refuse to pay an extra 10 dollars for a service I'll never use. I'm in agreement with the folks behind explainthefee.com on that subject.
2) EVDO sucks here as well. 90% of the time I am on 1x instead of full EVDO.

Thanks for the answers so far by the way. Has Samsung finally gone along with the rest of the Open Handset Alliance and standardized on their file system layout or is it still as screwy as the one on the Moment?

Oh okay i completely understand you, i got screwed by ATT thats why i'm switching, i thought sprint and verizon share towers virtually. i guess everyone have different experience i hope you have good one with ATT, but i'm sure you will .

They don't share towers, BUT you can install a VZW PRL file which force a sprint phone to use VZW towers. That helped me a little.
The main reason I moved to AT&T was Sprint's decision to not include Froyo on any of their older Android phones. The Hero, which now runs CM6 and the Moment, which has the same CPU as the moto droid, will get no further enhancements. I hated that. I was ready to jump to T-Mob and the Vibrant but the Amazon deal for a penny on the Captivate got me here.
AT&T is great here. I'm not in a major metro area, and that seems to be where AT&T fares the worst.

Canadian specific thread

Hello all. First off, congratulations on being the proud owners of this "DOPE'TASTIC" device.
I was hoping that this request would be heard by the sites MOD's and possibly even implemented.
But I was hoping that maybe someone would be so kind as to start a Canadian Carrier thread? Sprint, AT&T, T-mo all have their own and from what I have heard they all (or most) have locked boot loaders (may be horribly wrong on that, please don't crucify me). But perhaps in the goodness of the sites MOD's hearts they would consider my request. Just got this device today, AM SUPER EXCITED TO GET TWEEKING. But admittedly the many variants of the device have... complicated the research process.
Anyone agree with me???
Also, the software update which has been prompted from the point I turned this thing on. Should that be avoided allowing to begin? I bought this last night, and unfortunately am working today so I do not have the time to research that I usually would right out of the gate. Any input would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

There is already a "Note 4 - Canadian Thread" that has a lot of information.

Ohhh, well then. Mod's please delete this thread. My apologies. :-/

Well since our thread has disappeared without explanation (being a bastard child in every galaxy) , just to answer few of yours.
Don't worry about first boot update. Allow it. It will not hamper rooting or modding. You will trip Knox.
Basically tmobile model is closest to ours, so let that be your guide, although there are some Canadian specifics that should be followed. Roms in tmobile section have Canadian instructions if they're made with us in mind in adition to tmobile.
The rest is up to you to read.
Euro firmwares are compatible as well, but more reading and specific rules to be followed are a must.

Nice! Thats exactly what I needed to know. Most devices ive used in the last 2 years were AT&T varients. Therefore i was surprised when I realized Note4 was not. Note 1+2 through Rogers were, as was the S4. So was surprised to see this is not.
Thanks for the starting point, especially with the firmware update. With Note 2 (if i remember correctly) if you accepted the initial FW update you were in trouble.

Even for s4, starting from kernel, our model was more similar to tmobile. It just happened that att had Devs that supported us more, and was root able at the beginning.
Now, due to bootloader, they don't even deserve a thread, yet they got a section. A ghost town.

lol, Yeah I noticed that. Its... The way it is I guess...
Was BLOWN AWAY buy how many variants are out there on Note 4. Was a little over whelming on the first day reading through all the forums. I really do feel that there are enough people with Canadian devises to warrant a device specific thread however. But at the very least the T-mo thread seems to cater to Canadians pretty well. iB4sTiD is in there, a name i know WELL from the AT&T S4 forums, Actually I am SUPER excited to see him working for Note4. REally solid guy, and he always builds both American and Canadian roms.

To be honest I'm little disillusioned with the custom tw rom scene. So for a while I'm keeping it stock, with my own slim down, and xposed.
See no reason to load custom rom at this time as they are basically doing what I can do for myself without someone else deciding.
Good old times when patches and hacks and customization is done on framework itself (xposed does impact performance, compared to stock, no matter what. I live with it and am happy that it's there, but it's a fact) with jkay, etc. Now custom roms are slim with xposed, which I basically explained above.
Even custom kernels are making me lose more in features than I gain in performance.

I believe we require an explanation of why our thread was deleted. There was lots of information pertaining to "our" note 4.

would just like to know at least why? our thread have been deleted too....

Guess you can message mods for answer.

I think after doing a crapload of reading that i understand what you are saying. Honestly i used to HATE touchwiz but it seems so smooth and fast on this phone that it almost feels right?
I never in my life thought I would say that I would like A TW ROM... But, it appears to work with this phone and with exposed being what it is...
Strange feeling, not immediately flashing a custom build...

Why the hell did the Canadian thread get deleted.....FFS!

@celkin please note you either have to use option in wanam module, or do a build prop edit to get rid of extreme lag once you install xposed first time.
Important note. Never turn on secure boot in security if you're loading custom recovery in the future.
Explanation to the rest. @celkin asked which modules I'm using, but couldn't post Screenshots in pm.

Wanting to root, but don't want history to repeat.

Long time Android user here. I'm debating on whether or not I'd like to pull the trigger and root/flash a custom ROM to my brand new Nexus 6 (seriously, still has that new-phone smell). My girlfriend and I both got these beauties the same day and love them to pieces.
However...
Coming from a rooted/customized S3 and M7 I'm already missing the customization features that rooting devices allowed. Although I wouldn't have any issues doing so, I'm a bit concerned with potential bugs that could occur while using custom ROMs.
For instance, when I bought my M7, before I rooted it, the call quality was phenomenal. Then after rooting/flashing a custom OS, the quality seemed to drop substantially. No matter which ROM/kernel sets I used, there were always data and/or performance issues including, but not limited to, Pandora app skipping even when data (LTE) was at max reception.
I'm not asking which custom ROM is better as that would be a "to each their own" situation. I've, personally, been a fan of Liquid Smooth and ran it as a daily driver for my S3 (and ViperOne for my M7), but from what I've seen in the development pages there are quite a few ROMs I'd like to try out.
I wanted to see what people who've already rooted and flashed custom ROMs thought of their Nexus 6 post-awesomizing. Did the call quality change? Other than listed ROM bugs, were there any frequent issues that continued through various ROMs and kernel combinations?
Thanks, in advance, to anyone and everyone who replies!
Cheers,
Blue

The problem with HTC and Samsung devices, is that they are not truly open source. For a "dev" to get an AOSP ROM built for those devices can be quite an ordeal and can require many hacks to be made and many bugs will be found trying to get the AOSP source code to fit that device... The Nexus does not have this problem as AOSP is designed for it. Even a monkey could compile a bug free AOSP rom for the nexus, so don't worry about that sort of thing.

That's quite a relief to read. So there hasn't been any known issues with the call quality suffering? That is my biggest concern as with my HTC (post root/flash) the call quality was horrendous! It sounded like the person on the other line was constantly mumbling. The quality on the Nexus 6, as of now, is so crisp and clear it sounds as if they're sitting right next to me.
I'll definitely be looking forward to trying out the various ROMs available.

Yep, with a nexus those sort of issues should be a thing of the past. HTC are particularly bad as on teh M7, they themselves couldn't even get GPE to run properly (Speaker quality took a tumble).
Also, you may not know but Xposed framework just came out with an Alpha. In a short while, it wil get more stable and modules will get updated for Lollipop, meaning you will probably be able to add much of that customisation without changing from the stock rom.

I've heard of the manufacturer UI's getting in the way of performance with devices. I'm glad I went with the pure Google goodness this time! I'll keep an eye on Xposed, but I think you've helped my decision in rooting today.

It's Nexus man The best dev support is available for Nexus devices All ROMs has bugs and you'll have to bear with it. But the ROMs for Nexus devices meet stable version sooner than others. Taking Parandroid Android as an example. Visit their website and you'll be able to find that the main team focus on the Nexus line and they've legacy team to support other devices. I was also an user of S3 (Exynos variant) and PA used to be a great custom ROM for me

Yes I suppose a caveat to what I have already said, there will still be bugs on roms due to devs making customisations and you will see their bugs potentially. When I say bug free, I'm just talking about a clean AOSP rom affecting the fundamentals of the device.

I'm currently running Euphoria OS on my N6. It is based on CM12, and offers a lot of customization options without actually having to enable root. I've been running it for almost a month now, and I have yet to feel a need to go into Developer Options and flip the switch for root access.
From a call quality standpoint, we are all running the same radio versions, so it will come down to your area. I work in an area where T-Mobile is spotty (my building specifically, LTE is stupid fast outside of it) and so I'm eagerly awaiting the update which adds WiFi Calling to AOSP. As it stands now, my phone does activate HD Voice and show an indicator icon in the dialer when I'm on with another T-Mobile user.

Maybe I can use this to convince my girlfriend to let me root hers, as well. She's never had an unlocked device before and she's very cautious about it, but I'm sure I could convince her.
Thanks again, all!

Quick question, does any one have a good recommendation on a guide to root my n6 I don't want to use a tool kit because I'm hearing its better to do root through fastboot if that's correct. I've been rooting phone for some time now but I've only dealt with fastboot once before with an HTC device. All my other devices where s2 to s5. And I usually used chainfires tool kits. So could someone please set me in right direction as far as guides go? Thanks

If you already have TWRP installed, just flash SuperSU. It used to require an insecure boot image due to Lollipop's security features removing root on each boot, but now the new SuperSU injects root each time.

Its pretty simple.
Use fastboot to unlock bootloader (wipes device]
use fastboot to flash TWRP recovery
Put SuperSU zip on sdcard and flash that via TWRP recovery.
There are guides in general. The main thing is understanding using fastboot. I have a thread on that.
Go to general > all in one thread > question 28

Thank you for quick response guys? Rooting today can't take it anymore.

Well xposed is Alpha - not ready for public consumption.
Also, xposed module features are never as good as ones compiled directly into the ROMs. They're just not as efficient. Xposed doesn't replace the need for custom ROMs.

Well, Xposed is working flawlessly on nexus 5 and 6 without causing any issue That's why suggested Yeah, that doesn't replace the need of custom ROM but that actually add more feature of user's choice

International Patch

Can one of our fantastic developers please make a patch to run some of the international roms that have been made? It shouldn't take too much since we already have ported roms. It would be much appreciated by myself and others in our circle of users. Thanks in advance.

Generally they'll run fine out of the box; just flash a kernel for the N910T or whatever variant you have.

I can't get any radio signal with the international roms. If you have any advice to get that going it would be appreciated.

here you go buddy always search for both TMO and CAN models since they're basically the same just replace the AEL kernel with the one you want to use

BAD ASS NOTE 4

suprised with the lack of custom ROMs

Hey guys, today i ordered myself an S5 and it's arriving tommorow morning. I can't wait to get it. I immediately fell in love with hardware, and the phone looks beautiful. Only thing i don't like is TouchWiz. So since the moment i knew i was gonna have it, i came here, and i must say i'm suprisedi expected the development to be beyond point of view good thing we have offical cyanogenmod(that was expected tbh) but i also expected something of CAF and aosp base since s5's predecessors had great AOSP ROMs support, like Slim and Omni and PA. Well who knows. Maybe i finnaly start learning something new and hell, maybe try to cook something but knowing myself, i wont have the guts.
Also i always wanted to try the famous Boeffla kernel and now i'll finaly have the chance!

You'll be hard-pressed to find a ROM that runs as fast/smooth/efficiently as the stock rom (once it's debloated, of course). There are plenty of ROMs available, it's just that not all of them are available on XDA. Try one of Ground-Zero's ROMs. Tesla and TipsyOS are very good.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a ROM that runs as fast/smooth/efficiently as the stock rom (once it's debloated, of course). There are plenty of ROMs available, it's just that not all of them are available on XDA. Try one of Ground-Zero's ROMs. Tesla and TipsyOS are very good.

I ran tesla on my moto g, pretty good. But i don't know, i used to hack older samsungs, the newest was s4, so i'm a bit scared, i dont know whats KNOX or what's the procedure to root/flash recovery on this phone and how dangerous it is because i worked with phones that are hard to really screw up, so i'll probably stay on tw and root it.. I don't know yet. Hard to decide since i'm a flashaholic..

KNOX is the new warranty killer, flash anything custom and it trips KNOX from 0x0 to 0x1, which is irreversible, when you need to send your S5 in for repair, they check the KNOX status and refuse warranty in many regions if it is 0x1
Other than that, it's just a useless annoyance
Read some threads, you'll find all the info you need about rooting/hacking the S5
Pretty simple procedure if you don't care about warranty, or live somewhere that doesn't use KNOX status (EU apparently)

Well i live in europe and i bought an european version (obviously) and i don't even know what for i'd send it for warrianty, hardware failures don't cover it do they? And KNOX is not reversible in any way? And there is no way to flash over it? I think i saw a thread today regarding that..

The issue with the S5 is that there are no base roms made available to beginner developers. Everything is based on Cyanogenmod which has issues like Bluetooth and such. I ported Omni rom a while back so it can be available to others to try. Everything is working perfectly besides the camera which I haven't quite figured out yet. No Bluetooth issues, great battery, & nice performance. I plan on porting that new paradox ROM to our beloved device soon so hopefully we can get some development going.

Of course warranty covers hardware failure, that's what warranty is for
And no, there is no way to reset KNOX

Wow that sounds awesome, and where we could find that omni of yours? And Aosparadox was originally created for moto g, and i was one of the first who tried it. Good rom, and i think that AOSP based roms would be great on this phone, is it only me?

I love mine, if I went back to the day I ordered it, I'd do the same again, no regrets
G900F - others are limited/locked

In my opinion, this is a great phone. I had an S2 and now i have a G900F. I love the feeling with this, resistent, lightweight and not so big but with a beautiful screen...i hate samsung policy but not all samsung is bad. Flagships are still remaining the main phones to buy if someone wants a good experience. I like flashing roms but with latest firmwares i prefer remaining near o stock. I tried some custom roms based on CM, ok they are very fast but i missed a lot of stock features that i use, and i like to have always them with me instead of trying to find an alternative way. We listen all the time people complain about phone's problems but personally i think less people say "wow, great phone, etc" only because it hasn't the need to say this, only complain...

You can find it HERE. AOSPParadox should be pretty easy to port over. Maybe I can get it done this weekend.

Does this mean we could have other offical roms supported? And have you thought about maintaining omni officaly?

Awesome man, and i have one more question.
Is triggering KNOX worth it or not in your opinion? Others? I want more opinions on this

Other official roms such as? Everything right now is based off Cyanogenmod so that means there is no variety. Other phones usually have roms built off of cm,omni,aosp,PA,aokp ect ect If we are able to port these roms such as Omni people can add to them and make custom and stable roms out of them

Other AOSP based roms like Omni, slim,Pa and such? Since they require aosp base..

Exactly we need someone to port AOSP or something close enough to it so we can then port roms such as PA and slim without basing it off cm and having tons of issues...

Well if you try to port Aospparadox you could rebase omni to it's source and then build PA and slim and other roms

Well it doesn't cover hardware failure when you trip knox. Perhaps if the phone don't start at all and they cannot check for knox status.

Worth it if you never need the warranty, or live in the EU and they don't care about KNOX

Obviously if you live somewhere that KNOX needs to be 0x0 for warranty, but otherwise the warranty is completely valid for hardware failure, tripped or not
