If you’re into Android rooting and modding, chances are you will have heard about the popular replacement ROM known as ‘MIUI.’ In-case you haven’t, MIUI is a ROM by Xiaomi, a Chinese tech company, and is based in Android Gingerbread v2.3.7. Unlike your typical version of Android, this ROM provides you with the awesomeness of Android amazingly combined with the great look and feel of iOS, providing a unique user experience.
Now, for the first time, MIUI has gone open-source and can be found on GitHub. These are a couple of MIUI applications and the ROM. That’s not all, expect more source to be revealed in the near future.
This ROM was originally designed in Chinese, and was not intended to be translated or be available for people in the other parts of the world, so a big advantage of it being open sourced is that the modding community will take it upon themselves to translate it and also make it available for many new devices, like the hundreds that CyanogenMod supports, which is at present the most popular ROM available for android yet.
Now that its open source, we’re probably going to see some crazy mods and what not.

what does this means to us SGA users?
Why spamming ?O.0
MIUI was ported to sony xperia x8 which has a armv6 processor, so I think that the SGA developers can exploit the source code and port MIUI to our devices.

So i saw that in other devices fourms they ported the Sense 4.0 multitasking screen. But it's not working for all devices or builds.
So a dev/ or user has to port the code to our builds . I myself don't have the time to port it but i am looking forward to seeing this on out beloved device.

It's quite easy I have this running now on my defy ...... U need to source code to apply no porting necessary
I will help you make one for yourself after my exams are done
There's already a thread that has a flashable zip that works for older nightlys.
it may look neat but it hardly promotes multitasking that the inbuilt ics carousel provides...you can barely see the next two open apps using the sense "multitasker"

Good luck on your exams.
Hi all,
i'm a noob to android, but i have nit of experience on other unix based systems.
I was wondering, why there is no custom roms for GT-S5690?
What's the problem?
Is bootloader locked some other way or is it somehow different from example Gio/GT-S5660?
There is a bunch of roms for gio..
I have one xcover, wich has no screen and covers, i thought i could use it for testing.
I think there are too less people who have a xcover, and I was actually pretty disappointed when I say there is a successor to the xcover available only in the US (Rugby Smart / Pro <-- with ICS!).
From the technical side, I don't know. Even the source code of the firmware is available at opensource.samsung.com. The Bootloader seems pretty much unlocked.
For me, the xcover is the best phone ever, it takes so much abuse. Maybe someday someone will port a newer ROM from the Ace/Gio/idk. It's a shame Samsung abandons their old phones :crying:

I didn't were aware of successor models, now i'm very dissappointed.
I'm downloading these source codes at the moment, i'll check these out.
I'm not a developer, atleast YET..
AFAIK, hardware of s5690 is way different from any other samsung phones,
correct me if i'm wrong..

Seems like it's the only one with a Marvell MG2.
Let me know if you do anything interesting with the sources
Just flashed my xcover to XXLJ2 yesterday. At least it seems a bit faster now, but I have a weird bug when scrolling. If I give a list (for example settings) momentum, it doesn't stop when I put my finger on it again. But it does stop if I release the finger the second time.

Did the same. The GT-S5690_Platform.txt says:
Code:
How to build platform
1. Get android open source.
: version info - Android gingerbread 2.3.6
( Download site : http://source.android.com )
2. Remove external\webkit module in android open source which you got.
And then execute "clean build"
2. Copy files and modules to original Gingerbread source tree (overwrite)
3. build
- ./build.sh user
So wouldn't it be possible to download the JB sources, and compile them with the original kernel? Would be so cool.
Edit: It seems you need device specific binaries (drivers) since ICS. see: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/compile-ics
Found a git https://github.com/manakeri/android_device_samsung_xcover, there is a
Code:
cyanogen_xcover.mk
file, this seems interesting. Apparently someone is trying to port it.
Edit2: In this git, there is also a "extract-files.sh"-file, which is neccessary to pull the proprietary files from the phone! With this I think we actually have everything we need to compile ICS/JB, like in the "freeyourandroid" tutorial.
I have never done this before, but someone must try it lol.
Oh look, there are more people who care about it!
http://www.droidevelopers.com/f338/14412-gt-s5690-opensource-kernel-available.html
Someone discovered my link and made a overclock kernel from the sources! This is so cool.
I hope we are going to see more :good:

I own an xcover too a developer on another forum looked at some files i pulled using adb to try to port clockworkmod but no success. Told me the files i sent weren't standard android img but he would continue to look into it. Apparently the teamhacksungs goal is to port cyanogenmod for every Samsung device surely they can get it done. I've been waiting a long time to see some development for the awesome xcover

If its possible on the galaxy mini its got to be possible on xcover!. Ive tried to get involved and learn to port cyanogenmod but when it comes to git, repo, source tree, source code e.t.c e.t.c its a bit behond me for now.
Step in the right direction it seems. Fingers crossed
Hello ,
After 3 years of development different roms from all versions ( from android 2.3 and up ) , in the last days , developers turned to work on the latest android version ( 4.4 kitkat ) and leaving the older ones , they are right anyways newer is better of caurse , actually all development section is filled up with 10 active threads of kitkat roms and one or two of ics .
Well , that's not the problem , the problem is that there are 10 threads means 10 devs who are working on their ported roms , yes , but they are all based on Mike's "infinished" cm11 . And because Mike is working alone on it , development is slow , and as a result the other's one will be slow as well , and that's the case from the begining !
My point is , developers who are wishing to base their work on a "infinished" one , they should first help in finishing it as quick as possible then they do what ever they want ,there are great devs out there , I mean why they don't try to make a team and work together on big processes like porting a propre cm11 or like what you have done with nAa and 3.4 kernel ? that will help a lot the devs and the community , and Mike has always said "On the i9001, 8 devs work on 1 device, while on our side, 1 dev works on 8 devices" about how cm11 development goes with other devices .
If you agree with me make your move and form your team to do things faster !
devs :
- @mikeioannina
- @alinolaw71
- @Dark Raven
- @vishal_android freak
- @Amir Hoseinina
- @Langes
- @3andala
- @evil.demon_s
- @cr3pt
- @sud.vastav
- @skull47
- @vampent0026
- @HeadFox
- @Achotjan
- ... ( tell me if I missed an other kitkat developer )
If the thread is in the wrong section , please MODs move it to the right section . And if you find it unuseful , please delete it
Thank you very much .
job.
in the past few days i was thinking about making such thread like this...but u made my work easy ...completely agree with u man...thanks alot
If I'm not wrong, many people you named are only themers, code developing and zip editing are different things.
Keep in mind, that there aren't many people with at least basic knowledge of building Android.
kinda agree with this one, there's no significant differences between those kitkat rom (except PAC )
yep, most of "developers" just change apps/icons not code like @mikeioannina
yes maybe cause I didn't pay attention to who is expert or not but everyone can help at least with his current knowledge , in addition to the others who are experts in coding roms and kernels mentioned there .
If Mike , as the main cm11 dev , make request to developers , that will help a lot like what nAa did in the past .
job.

Its very easy to say that " many people you named are only themers and most of them just change apps/icons not code "
Just try once to make a z1 or z2 framework for cm...!!!
It takes alot of efforts just to port z1 or z2 framework compatible to themes
And most of the rom dev prefer to work on mike's rom because they feel easy to download a 200mb zip file and work on it instead of downloading 50gb of source code
And now a days there are.many users who have downloaded the source code and building their "self compiled " build
But they are just downloading the new commits and compiling a build
There's a difference between source coding and only compiling some commits
Ya...compiling sources is also not a simple job as bugs reports are given..no doubt about that
So devs like mike langs dark revan and mardon who are actually working on cm 11 should be given their time to give us a stable cm 11 as we dont have enough knowledge about making changes in the source code
Sent from my Xperia Live with Walkman using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Please don't keep tagging Mike here again and again, he will not like it... he has already been tagged once in the OP
also, as has already been stated above, off the top of my head, only Langes and Mike have the expertise to work at kernel level, most of the other JB+ kernel developers have abandoned our devices...
Hmmm...honestly there only a few real developer for our 2011 devices....other just some that port roms from different version of custom roms...most of them just download from mike source and build up them there.....those were the guys can give us variety of custom roms for 2011 devices...there also other than just maintainer from certain team....there are also the one that mostly help mike by submitting same patches to fix and bug on mike build....
all of them depending on mike source code to build their own version of custom roms....remember their might be the developer of the certain roms but there are all depending on mike just like we user do....

Hi, recently i bought the Meizu MX 4 Device Which is amazing!
although the Flyme OS is Bad.. , i Have a Very Little Knowledge in coding on IOS , and i have some questions
Im Interested On Building a CLEAN Google Rom For The Device (Like as Google Edition), And im Asking If its Possible ?
(The Flyme is Based Android 4.4.2)
~~~
Or There's Another Question
Is It Possible To me To Port The Meizu Device Into CM 11 / 10 ?
What Procedures do i need ? There's An Guide Outside the Web?
Hope To Get an Seriously Answer ,

You are out of luck I'm afraid. This OEM never releases the kernel source for the device and with that and other needed files for it there is no development at all. This is why no developer ever gets this device.

Its Very Bad to hear..
but i saw faw days ago this: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/meizu-mx4-...ected-feature-ubuntu-touch-hit-europe-1476642
That will May be a good news for feature development for the MX 4 ..
Because The Flyme is an Heavy ROM With Tons of bugs and it supports kinda bad english , still the Store There is in Chinese..
Do you think if i will contact With the Original Development forum in meizu's forum may help to Release The Kernel Source? , Maybe the Ubuntu Development Will Release The kernel?

I wouldn't count on it. As a China based company they are not held to the GPL laws.
As for Ubuntu touch it will be the same thing. Ubuntu touch is almost completely a dead development project on every device so far. Not alot of interest in it.
You can hope but they have been the same for as long as they have been putting out devices and China doesn't require then to follow copyright or gpl laws.
I'm looking into the possibility of getting Resurrection Remix Marshmallow AOSP ROM running on the Galaxy A5 2017 device of Model Number(s):
A520F (Single SIM Variant)
A520F/DS (Dual SIM Variant)
I've made time available on my hands as i'm a fan of the ROM and it would be great running it up and functional on this device.
I'm hoping this post increases popularity as to attract experienced developers so i can get all the help i need since building an AOSP ROM such as Resurrection Remix from sctrach is very challenging and time consuming.
The Official A5 2017 AOSP (Devs Only) Whatsapp Group is available for all of the developers who would like to join it in helping me bring this Project to life. If your interested in joining and helping, simply post down below your intention in doing so along with your International Contact Number.
Btw here's the Resurrection OS Marshmallow Source:
https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest/blob/marshmallow/README.mkdn
And here's our device's kernel source which was released by Samsung:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=A520F
I wanna too, for A3 2017
Wasn't there something on the Whatsapp group about collecting donations for an experienced dev to buy this phone so he could port the rom? I would love to see Resurrection Remix on my A520W. Maybe if a post was made on the forum about donating, more people would see it.
I think that it's will be never possible ,because "Exynox" cpu (drivers problems.....like others devices,like some galaxy note...) ...
But it was truth in the past ....and maybe i was wrong now ,i don't know the last development ...

Ha ok ,good new for source .:good:
And yes...pity...samsung (exept "s" series) is less and less interested ...
In the past i loved customs roms but now it's maybe good for low and some middle devices but i think that it's a good "regression" ,we loose some good stock options and functiins (like finger print...etc...)... don't have the full exploitation of photo ...less performance.....etc...(samsung stock patent !!!) But yes....with some customs we can change the size,position and color of the hour,battery...etc...lol ! And cm/lineage sourced is not as "stable" as stock firmware ...
Lineage OS in on the horizon. Maybe this will help inspire other developers to take up the Resurrection Remix project or develop their own custom ROMs. But good things are coming in the future.
