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!
what you all say?

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.

E.T.A. Unknown..

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:

I am trying to make twrp for the device. Because this is my first time, I need device tree to be prepared. As of now, my attempts have not given any results. If you can help, would be great.

block map

developer needed for our device.

What's required to make developers work on the x2 pro?
I don't get it, why there isn't anyone paying attention for this device?
I guess many users are willing to fund this process.

I'm ready to donated

is there any developer working on our device for custom ROMs?
The phone is pretty much perfect,the only thing holding it back is color os
I have havoc os gsi right now on my device and I really think it would be great if a couple of things were added to it
-90 hz refresh rate
-face unlock and fingerprint unlock
-stock color os camera
-slight optimization for the animations
I believe this would be a perfect Rom if those were added to it

we need this badly

Giving up finger unlock is not acceptable in exchange with a decent software, this device is a true beast.
I came from pocophone using havoc, and i can't imagine using any other rom!

I guess we are stuck on colorOS for a long time..
Unfortunately, my dreams to see a PE ou havoc ROM are gone..

Stop crying there are people including me that donated money in order to have a developer make us ROMs and a good kernel because if it wasn't for the donators there is no way realme would have done anything there is a dev working join the telegram lobby of x2 pro official

I've searched threads. How can I participate in donation? I would like to have a custom ROM, so give a little donation it's a good thing to do.

Many people are willing to donate for custom ROMs,this phone is a step away from being perfect,best price best quality but a very bad software

Thinking the same as all of you guys. Where can we donate btw ??

I also want to donate... Just make this device super cool with custom roms... btw how to donate??

For those having trouble how to find the telegram groups:
Install Telegram application. Open the app > Tap on the magnifying glass icon on the upper right corner > write Realme X2 Pro Official > tap on the name of the group in the list > tap join > done!
Good luck. Check the group and messages before donating anything to anyone.
Just my opinion on the matter and not to curb anyones excitement but I won't hold my breath for a regular custom rom support because a) Realme is not a well known brand yet, unless Indian devs decide to do something I won't see this getting much progress, b) Realme and its owner Oppo are not custom rom friendly brands. I want to be wrong but my experience says otherwise.

[FUNDRAISING][COMPLETED][B][/B]REDMI NOTE 8 For 33bca to bring STABLE DEVELOPEMENT

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
https://telegra.ph/Fund-Raiser-for-33bca-For-Redmi-Note-8-Developement-02-01
You can donate:
UPI, Paytm(INDIA) : [email protected]
PayPal: paypal.me/nckm
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
https://i.imgur.com/esdcydJ.jpg
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!

Not receiving push notifications is fatal... I think too
Probably an optimization for the game, but it's not necessary.
However, I like the hardware very much.
Fastboot ROM source code will probably not be released as it is.

Let's laugh... Hah-hahha‍
Kernel will not be released, at least for while you're alive.

I'm hating all of this so much, a simple file, they have to upload a single file, and after 26-27 days nothing to be seen. This is not the only issue, there is another one with the same answer. It is as if air came out of thei mouths

Im trying to ask myself why still they haven't upload the kernel source yet? There's so much hardware potential on the phone being hold back just waiting to get unleashed .
Hoping they'll released it this year together with others 865 devices

This is an LOL! If the LEADERS STRATEGY is to increase the sales, then releasing the kernel sources will definitely attracts more users because of the phone's development potential will increase by 10 folds.

I see. Thanks for doing that. Hmmm this is frustrating and disappointing. I wish there's a link where someone can truly help us report them coz its hard to think I'll be spending my months with a closed source device. It's fine if they're consistent on the security patches and ota s, but thats not been the case. I'd be willing to take a 3rd of my money back as a refund FAK I WILL NOT BUY ANY BLACKSHARK PHONE AGAIN EVER.

The question here is whether there is a person named Jason.
I also contacted Global Support twice, and Jason took care of it all.
Only distrust remains.

Took it to Xiaomi's github aswell, let's see if we can get an answer.
Blackshark 2/3/3s/3pro Kernel source · Issue #2191 · MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource
Will the kernel source for the Xiaomi Blackshark 3 be released soon? I did some research about promises from Blackshark/Xiaomi and i'm really worried! Sources for Blackshark 2 were promised but NEV...

Yes really good

Kernel! Kernel! Kernel! Custom Roms! Ahhhhhh! Kill me pls

I'm not sure but back on those days of Android 2.3.4, I used to successfully crossed ports official OEM firmwares from other devices with similar CPU/GPU. All that it need back then was a custom recovery of the port's recipient and a backup of the firmware we trying to port. I stopped playing around with my phones these passed few years, so I'm wondering if we could do that as well to the recent Android versions? I believed we have similar SOC/Android versions phones that's currently active in development. We already got custom recovery anyways.

General The Source Code of the Tab S8 line is here!

I put in an email to Samsung Open Source to see if I could have the source code of the Tab S8+ (I didn't think to ask for the source code of the other Tab S8 devices at the time, but I will gladly ask for the other ones if they're needed.) so that maybe some development could be made on it (I'm not sure if development is happening for it behind the scenes or not. All I know is that I haven't seen anyone post anything in the development section). I'm not the most technically inclined, so I have not nary a clue of how important having the source code for a device is for development in terms of ROMs, kernels, recoveries, etc, but I'd like to think it's pretty important. If having it is an important step in having development start happening for the Tab S8 line of devices, then I will gladly link it. I'm currently downloading it as I'm typing this out. So, if you'd like it or need it for development purposes (or any specific files from the kernel, platform, etc), let me know, and I'll provide it as soon as it finishes downloading.
Edit: Update! The source code just finished downloading!
Edit 2: Turns out they gave me the source code for the april firmware update. So, it's not the absolute most up to date source code, but it may as well be as it seems that there isn't any available source code for the may firmware update, yet.
Edit 3: Finished uploading the source code. If you need it for development purposes, then here you go! Hopefully something cool will eventually come out of it! The file is super compressed and is around 6GB total once everything is extracted.
Edit 4: Now the source code of all three Tab S8 devices is here and available to download. I really really hope some new and awesome software development can happen now that the source code is available for all three Tab S8s. Regardless, here they are. Have fun!
Tab S8 Source Code: https://mega.nz/file/2hNSSIwA#FrDXCDFjo4OgfqkFy-0334fjFblGmnw1mQJFjOO6aRI

I went here and sent them an inquiry specifically asking for the source code of the SM-X800 for developmental purposes and just wanting to know how it works (I can't develope for nothing, but I'm sure somebody would, and I genuinely would like to know how these awesome tablets work). I got pretty lucky with them responding so quickly. I sent them an email May 6 and they got back to me yesterday evening. I've heard the horror stories of people requesting source code and not getting responses for months or not ever, so I'm glad they got back to me in a few days and not just telling me "No".

Interesting, @SavXL. I see now the site https://opensource.samsung.com/requestInquiry (or even https://opensource.samsung.com/) gives:

I noticed that, lmfao. I was trying to see if maybe they've uploaded the source code for other Tab S8 devices, but then I saw that message pop up, and it's still there! I guess they must've started doing some server maintenance super shortly after sending me the source code. Considering myself even more lucky now all things considered! I'm going to set up a link to the source code so people will be able to develop off of it (and maybe we'll see our first post in the developement section) and I'll add it to my initial post.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Just checked those two links again and now they send me to the appropriate site. I'm not sure if any of the links on either of those two pages will give you that message again though.

Update! Just received the source code for the Tab S8 and S8U! I'm getting them ready for uploading as I'm typing this. Hopefully some new development will come from this as (at least to my knowledge) none has started just yet.

Update! Just uploaded the source code for the Tab S8 and S8U! I've updated the initial post with links to their respective source codes. Have fun with it!

Is source code what's needed to say port Android 13 to the S8U?

I'd like to believe that's possible, yes. However, to port that to the S8U (or anyone other device, within reason) it'd need to be made to where it can be flashed via Odin or via TWRP if you don't happen to have access to a PC. However, to do the TWRP method, someone would have to make a working build of TWRP for the S8U (or other devices), which no one has done as of now. I could be wrong and someone could be making one behind the scenes, but I doubt that.
