Hey guys!
Seeming as I'm working on a project, for XDA, I need to know, what manufacturers, models and their OSs are.
As I'm pretty busy coding, and I couldn't find a list online, I was going to ask, if you could all give me a list of manufacturers (Except:
Code:
Samsung
Google
Asus
Motorola
LG Electronics
hTC
Huawei
ZTE
Sony
)
If there are any, and their models.
I am not in a hush, but I need this information in three weeks, at the latest
I hope I'm not being abknoxious, or arrogant, in any way. I'm just planning something real big, which every Android user could need at some point in time.
Many thanks in advance to those, who are investing their precious time in answering this thread!!
Android LIST

Hi there everyone,
I need some serious help with porting any FOSS Operating system viz debian to playbook. I tried to post franticly in crackberry forum, initial posts were cool. later when i started to throw too much info in hope of reply i got few replies or responses.
wish someone from here can help me. Because i am dead serious about porting debian to this device. its lovely.
thanks to RIM for screwing it up completely. i got fed up and decided to do the dirty job because to whoever i ask about a custom rom i got a depressing answer.
i am already ready to port. who else is helping me. or planning to help me.
please let me know. thanks.

p.s. i am a few steps away from getting the x-loader.bin signed, i got it signed with omap3, but i would like to sign it with omap4 and i am working on it. and secondly i got the source for the bsp from sonic foundary and i was successful in building it. but i need more help from users with more valueable output than "show me a different rom" or "thats too tragic, no one has been successful as of now." very few expressed their support. most of them seem to be waiting anxiously for BB10. sad. sigh! a few supporters are there and 2-3 folks gave extremely valueable information.
i hope to find some folks here who is willing to share the workload. and i shall try to co-operate my level best. thanks again for reading this post and wasting 10 mins of your life's time.
p.s. 2 i am planning to port coreboot the arm arch and debian, but this doesnt mean i will not try to help in the android process.
2 most valueable feedbacks which i got are,
nickstarmaster -> "For a OS that is specifically designed for a single kind of hardware, it got TOO MUCH exceptions/errors."
&
synerworks -> "Even if all the boot source code was released and built verbatim, without the correct signature it would not be seen as valid at launch. Without a JTAG, pushing your own firmware onto the device will not happen with the existing locked bootrom. Maybe if the bootrom had some unhandled exception that was exploited, an image can be generated to overwrite it but none exists to date. The only downside to attempting to clobber a soft-bricked Playbook is that it can potentially be rendered a doorstop if development tools can no longer manage further firmware updates. At least a bricked Playbook will be recoverable when a BB10 image is released by Blackberry whenever they get around to it. "
thats all the help i got with respect to porting. can anyone help me with the rest? team work? there i felt alone.

Hello everyone,
At first, as a new member, let me congratulate you for this amazing forum and the community that is built around it. A lot of useful and interesting stuff can be found here, and I know that it takes a lot of hard work to boost and maintain a forum to this high-quality level, create a community and share knowledge, so thank you for that and keep up the good work.
To get to the point, I recently became the owner of a Google Nexus 5 and 3 days ago I upgraded the preinstalled Android 4.4 to Android 5.0. Before that, I used a Nokia N900 phone with Maemo 5 and ArchLinux (desktop Linux Distribution), and this Nexus became my introduction to the Android operating system for the first time.
So as a newbie to Android, I want to ask toy a few questions on how to make some things done.
While I had my Android rooted before, after the upgrade it probably needs rooting again, so I'd be grateful if someone points out a link to a tutorial that describes this process. I also need to install an anti-theft application, and from what I've seen, Cerberus just does what I want, but I need to install it in a way that even if someone restored the phone to its default settings or even format it, the application woud stay in place. From what I've read, it is possible, right? I don't know how, maybe it has something to do with the ROM, which brings me to my next question. Custom ROMs, what are they? How do they get installed and which one do you suggest for Nexus 5?
As for now, those are my questions. I know that I could use Google to find out more about those stuff, but I really want to learn how they work, not just how to accomplish them, and all my searches in Google result in different ways to achieve the same thing, a fact that confuses me instead of teaching me stuff. That's why I ask here.
So, if anyone could point out some links or explain to me how to do the things I want, I'd be very grateful.
Also, besides all those things, any suggestions you might have of any nature, I'd be glad to hear them and they'll be much appreciated!
Than you very much in advance. I appologize to the forum and its moderators if I posted this in a wrong category or broke any rule. I assure you that if I did, it was not intetional.
Best regards,
Elias
Should I post this over to the Google Nexus 5 forums?
[SOLVED]
Ok, after a lot of reading, I finally understood the whole concept of ROMs and Recovery.
For anyone having trouble with his first steps on those issues as well, the following links would be very useful:

Hi all,
sorry if this is under wrong topic, I don't know where elsewhere to put it.
If for example someone finds where important security issue in samsung phones and tablets is it possible to sell that information to samsung and would that be legal?
I know there is bug bounty programs, but I don't think something like that, more like direct contact to samsung and negotiating terms, is something like that possible?
And no I didn't find and 0-day/whatever , this topic is more an academic research on it, I would like to know is there any benefit for someone who finds such a thing to get it to samsung or will black market be the first thing to reach out.
Are generally Android based producers strive to get information about their issues or they don't care at all.... this is the question....
Hi everyone,
First thanks to the XDA community I'm new here, even if I know and use XDA forum for a while, and you have been always so helpful!
So I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9305), actually running CyanogenMod. I have been looking for tuts or help, in order to port the UBUNTU Touch on my device (I'm quite a noob^^), but with no success... :-/ Apparently things are almost completed for the i9300, but nothing for the i9305, which would be quite different if I'm right...
Is there any news, or any projects to port Ubuntu on this device?
I'm not an expert, but I'll be happy to help in any possible way, for porting Ubuntu Touch to i9305. I know this device is popular (like other the S3 models), and I'm also sure this would be useful for a lot of people!
Thx in advance for your answers and your help (and sorry if my english is not so good...)!
Did you find a way for the Galaxy s4 i9500
Hi, here it is about the S3, which porting project seems to be, like for the S4, more or less abandoned... It is sad and I would be pleased to know the reasons, and if it is possible to "restart" at least some of those projects.
Anyone ?
Dont think so bud
Pretty sure very few currently unsupported or older devices will get ports, what few devs are available will work on more relevant devices. Time for a new phone..
Yes, apparently porting projects are mostly abandoned... That's sad I think, according to the still important part of potential adopters (like me ) who still have their "old" flagships, and do not necessarily want to buy a new expensive phone, at this point of the Ubuntu mobile OS evolution.... but maybe I'm the only one thinking that way?
This is my fist post, I am sorry if I am asking something I should not. I am not a technological guy, so I need some help and patience.
My wife has an old gt-i9082, it is at android 4.2.2. I think it is 3 years old.
I would like to upgrade it to a better version because the cellphone system are already very slow and some app are not working anymore.
A friend told me it is possible, since the cellphone are not at warranty anymore, but I do not know how to do it. I just find this forum with google.
So, I am asking for a step by step guide to do it, if it is possible. If it already exist, please point me to the relevant thread.
Again, sorry for my lack of understand.
Thank you very much for your time.

They don't have any newer official Samsung updates, but the developers here have been able to keep your device updated with custom versions of android that are based off of the Android Open Source Project and/or CyanogenMod sources. This means that if you update, you will get a vastly different user experience. You will have access to the Play Store and all the apps and what not, but the UI is completely different from the Settings, to the Dialer, Contacts app, email app, etc etc. Many people prefer this, but if you aren't tech savvy and new things confuse and/or frustrate you, then it can be an adventure. There might be small issues or work arounds that you might need to do depending on which custom option you choose and how you prefer or need to use your phone as well. I don't recommend jumping into the upgrade without reading other forum members advice or comments to see if there are issues that might affect the use of your phone. You can find more information in the forum for your phone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-duos -If you use the dual sim function, pay special attention to the changes in that set up with the newer versions.
I am going to ask for direction over there.
Thank you so much.
