Hi guys,
Seems Samsung has released the opensource codes for galaxy a70 (sm-705gm) in Samsung open release center. Link given below.
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=705gm
If can be used to build custom roms and twrp, please go ahead.

Yes But...
Are any Developer's even buying this device?
That's The Million Dollar Queston..
Waiting To See What Happens..
I am interested in this device, but waiting to see how many dev's start working on it?
I think, All a70 users together, should request, some dev(s) to work on this device.
united we stand!

This was the situation with Lenovo p2. But dev's eventually got in and now they have a great development curve.... the p2 users donated money for one dev to buy p2 for development and well. That was initiated by a user. And development kickstarted soon after.

We can check in custom rom telegram groups for this. But also check with certified developers in xda as well. PM would do here.

But first, we need to organize users who would be able and willing to donate. Once enough people are there and we can figure out on total if the amount offered is sufficient enough, we can start contacting dev's. After we have a dev ready to help, then start pooling in money and purchase the set and send ot to the dev.

just a heads up. according to XDA rules. donation threads have to be created by the developer itself who is interested in the device development. he has to green lit such a thread with an XDA admin. if it gets created by forum users it gets closed pretty soon as it is against the rules.
so first step would be finding an recognized developer willing to spend his free time on the device.

two options comes to mind.
A: look into devs that were or still are maintaining Samsung (Snapdragon based) phones and might be interested in the A70.
B: look into devs that maintain a device that has the same SoC (or SoC family) as those devs will have less than half as much work (it does depend on how far the kernel deviated from code aurora code) to maintain a second device if they have already established the knowledge on the primary device.

The Operative Phrase Here Is: "Still Maintaining Samsung (Snapdragon Based) Phones".
In the U.S... Samsung Snapdragon devices have their bootloaders locked down.. ( Per Carrier's Request ) so you have Zero ROM Development..
IMO.. you have to love this device for what it brings to the table stock ( Widvine L1, Themes, AR Emoji, UI, Gaming etc ) just in case nothing Custom sprouts.. :angel:

Guys rather than whining about Xiaomi not releasing the kernel source code Why not we force them to release it.
We can sign in for this petition and get the kernel source codes of the device we purchased

They sud release it right away...
either fix the existing bug on miui ( push notification ) or release kernel so that we can get on with cynogenmod ...

You guys also need to understand that the petition won't do any good as no one can enforce it as the company is safe behind China's laws.
The only way you will make a difference is maybe a petition to stop buying their devices until they start following the gpl like everyone else.

@thejoker has got the main point.
The next best phone at 220$ is moto g which dropped 20$ after mi 3 release.
Except that the only choice is Asus zenfone
The cheapest SD 800 phone is nexus 5. Which still costs almost 500$
A used one costs 400$
This is the only device we can get and let's see what happens. It takes a few secs for sign up.
What's there to loose?

That's why we made this forum. So the users could get together and help change them. They will have to change a few things before they can think about releasing the device in many parts of the world. At first HTC and Samsung were doing the same thing. The users rallied and now they release it right away.
If they don't change then this forum will be a failure and be removed.

Yes. Without XDA there were no devs ready to even make a unofficial ports.
Only thanks to it there are 3 Roms ....
.see we have nothing to loose to try
But after meeting them yesterday and after explanation came to know that Xiaomi looses most of its users to aosp and the only profits they get from cloud and other software services will be gone.
Once again xiaomi is not a hardware oriented company like Samsung etc

It doesn't matter if they are or not. They are required by law to release it upon device release.
No big surprise they lose most to aosp not a lot of trust for a closed sourced distro that one day had nothing and then the next had enough capital to start a company. Makes me wonder if other rumors are true.
Hello everyone,
Since S5 mini have been released there's no Rom for this model, we realize today that None of Developpers are caring about phones of the mid-range anymore. Specially S5 mini.
I'm about in this topic to invite all XDA Users to help us to donate for a developers to get a device.
Who would be willing to help get phone out to a developer?
Who could start donating to invite developpers to support this phone ?
Please who are interested, interact with this topic.
Cheers.
i would donate up to 20 Bucks!! i have the s5 mini since 3 month and nothing was going on !! really strange, dont know why!
Ill contribute 20 pounds sterling, Id like a rom with no samsung rubbish, no SEandroid restrictions, and ability to rw to extsd as it used to be allowed in earlier android versions. Ill keep an eye on this thread. Peace.

But you do not need Custom Rom for this.
Root your Mobile Phone and install the SD Fix from Playstore.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jrummy.sdfix&hl=de
fone is rooted with twrp recovery, Ive tried that 'sd fix' and two or three others ive found(xposed etc.) none work for me, not sure if SElinux recent default permission change to 'Enforcing' is to blame (and Ive tried the various so called fixes for that too...no luck) if it is then its another reason to want the old option of CHOICE (ie Permissive/Enforced etc.). The best allround 'fix' is a rom that has no rubbish restrictions, bloat, limitations, etc. Thanks anyway for the heads up.
Nice to hear that from You ! We wait for others to react and join us.
We will search for Developpers to satisfy our needs as long as others members contribute and participate.

I'd gladly donate 10€ for a stock clean lollipop ROM or even better for CM11. Count me in.
also I see USB OTG is working if enabled in kernel (see previous post) it would be good to add this to the list of things wanted/ not wanted in a new ROM, peace.
I would donate another 20 EUR
Support this idea and i will donate too! AOSP is the best.
i want a custom rom too
I think the main problem here is the price of the device.
Once the price drops, there will eventually be some devs interested in the s5 mini.

Regarding Samsung ROMs: No progress. No ETA. No promise that it will be supported, although I don't exclude it either. It's simply unclear what further differences between their and AOSP's ART variant come up.
There are two ways to help bring Xposed for Lollipop to Samsung ROMs.
1. If you like his work, feel free to donate.
2. Track down some developers to do the research on Samsung ART.
If Samsung users want Xposed, then we all need to help.

Also donated for Xposed on the S6 edge.
Money will help but skilled Samsung ART devs is better option. Since Xposed is not full time job or so, donations dont make rovo89 coding more.
Even LG started messing ART code what is not good.
I believe in Rovo

Do not donate him in order to get something done, thats like paying him to do something. Donate for what he has done and help him with his future work instead.

For the longest time rovo89 didn't even accept donations. It wasn't until Google decided to make ART the default and sole Android runtime that he changed his mind. I imagine because porting Xposed to ART is such a massive undertaking and that he very likely has some development costs such as time and bricked devices associated with it, but that's just a personal guess.
I'm no developer so the best way that I can support his efforts is by donating to the cause. The majority of users feel the same way, hence the suggestion. I'm willing to bet that rovo would rather have some solid dev contributions than monetary ones.
Maybe it works on S4 I9505 with workaround?!
Hi there,
I already know that the Samsung Lollipop stock roms TW-based Roms aren't supported...
But on this page from Phonearena some PeterK. claims that it's possible to get it working with a workaround, and in the comments (see comment 4 & 6) the author claims also, that he made this on a S4 i9505 TW-Rom.
Did anyone try it and find it working also?
Would be very good news if it's true and finally I would update also
Thx for your help with this!

Yeah, but he replies to someone who says that it won't work with TW by saying it will work
so normally it should be logic, that he meant stockrom with TW... But right he didn't say it explicitly
And here's what's in the comments:
"4. RandomUsername posted on 16 Feb 2015, 10:57 +1

6. PeterK. posted on 17 Feb 2015, 01:16 +1
An S4 (GT-I9505) was being used for the purposes of this guide, so it will work."
Anyway... Could it be that Samsungs modified ART isn't integrated to all models n therefore it could work on some? Right now I'm to busy to check but after some time I'll give it a try... if there isn't an official solution till then
Lets start a counter in this forum and let devs know about popularity of this device so we can get good AOSP rom etc as fast as possible!

Really pointless thread. If you've followed any of the other AOSP request threads, you'll know that it's a very complicated and involved task. Amassing "+1" posts isn't going to motivate anyone more to take on such a task.
On a more personal note, I don't know why someone would buy a device like the Note 8 just to strip it of all of its features. Personally, I bought my device because of all the features Samsung has put on it. I wouldn't put AOSP on this, likely even if someone paid me, because it would defeat the purpose of having this device in the first place.

I wouldn't put AOSP on this, likely even if someone paid me, because it would defeat the purpose of having this device in the first place.

If you think that way you shouldn't be on XDA then, development is main thing we discuss here. Giving support to Dev in any way concerned will help them!

We all have different opinions and preferences, so I think we all belong here. Of course support for devs is always welcome, but a +1 thread may not be the most effective way to go about getting what you want...They can already see the view count on aosp-related threads after all. Maybe try reaching out directly instead.

Well, devs, I think, try to develop roms to attain a better experience, adding some features, taking out some not very popular ones, in general to make the overall performance better, as Max Terrible here stated, buying a note series device to strip it down of ALL the features that make it what it is, in my opinion, is pointless, to that effect, you should get a pixel device, clean pure android out of the box

Do explain to me how having a thread full of people posting +1 to try and convince a dev to make an AOSP ROM, is considered supporting the dev?
I definitely support the devs and the great work they do on here, but recruiting a mob to basically create a petition for someone to do something you want, is not what I define as support.
I assure you, any and all devs working on the Note 8 are aware of the very, very small group of people that want an AOSP ROM.

There would be lot of people who dont upgrade mobile regularly (may be 6 months) some upgrade after 2 years. And u might be knowing samsung way of updates so aosp rom etc is very help to have a taste of latest updates. I know only note special things wont be working but many extra things u will get in these roms. Till now we are not able to use gcams! This shows development for this rom. Intent of this thread was to see popularity of this device and let dev see the demand:laugh:
Thanks for +1 people! Lets go guys!!

DISCLAIMER* This is a VOLUNTARY Fundraising to help @33bca to buy a Redmi Note 8 to bring STABLE DEVELOPEMENT and AOSPA
You can already find all information here, and check the fundraising-status

You can donate:
UPI, Paytm(INDIA) : [email protected]

WE HAVE REACHED OUR TARGET, THANKS TO ALL THE CONTRIBUTORS AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO @B1||41DS
@33bca has worked on Many Xiaomi Devices before
He is the Official AOSPA(Paranoid) Developer https://gerrit.aospa.co/q/owner:fabian.leutenegger%40bluewin.ch
His github: https://github.com/33bca
and also a Recognized Developer over XDA
Guys our device is short of pro developer who can develop device tree so we talk to a pro developer and obviously if he develop then he needs the device, if the fundraiser succeds can do wonder to our device
Please I encourage entire community to take it seriously and contribute to make this a successful one.
We must safeguard our development for both Willow and ginkgo.
Here's my donation

Pls do any possible donation there is no minimum limit.
The RN8 community actually took a poll in the telegram groups to confirm members voluntary intentions to crowdfund the device to the Dev, and feedback was overwhelming. As we all agree and accept this voluntary step is crucial to rapidly and effectively grow development for RN8 device, we the community don't just want ROM, or Kernels but Bugless as possible through a real recognized Dev who knows his code, to be safe, secured with open source ethics at heart. I will strongly recommend and advice others members to actively join this cause and make it a success
Remember; It is voluntary and we are not forcing anyone
It's just my opinion but, every donation will return to community ×100000 in the form of rock solid, vivid and high quality development. No need to rip off anyone's pockets, if we do this in a spirit of collectivity. Thus said, lets put our alm on this effort.
Everyone should contribute for this because it make our redmi note 8 more stable on development.
The crowd funding has been a successful one. Thanks to all who donated their hard earned money in this cause and a special thanks to @b1||41ds for making this contribution successful.
Don't want to be rude but is there any progress being made?

Regarding v development? Yes. Wip on trees.
does dev still need donations cuz i will donate 7 cad if fundraiser hasnt reached its goal yet. edit: i didnt read the title
I'm not on the Telegram groups, so what I say might be irrelevant/obsolete, but woud you guys consider doing the same thing with developer @Dyneteve, if they do not yet have a willow or ginkgo device? I for one would be happy to contribute, as many kernel/device trees I've been looking at seem to come (more or less directly) from some of their work, and they're anyhow thanked in many ROMs I've been using.
What a successful fundraising it was ^^. I wanted to ask though are there now more chances for cameras to be fixed in android 10?
Thanks!

We don't know, according to 33bca he shipped the device to the new Dev but the new Dev didn't get the device yet,
