I've read a lot that Sony is making a good work about releasing they source code for developers, and Qualcomm is doing the same too, and that makes than Sony devices great for development, i have a Galaxy S2 i9100G that have a chipset that isn't Samsung, A TI OMAP, and for now that makes my devices better for development that the Exynos one, i tho that Xperia S having both sides (Sony and Qualcomm) working great that this device has even better development than my phone, but i wanted to know why still some features are missing and my phone has 4.1.2 fully working even before than Oficial to Galaxy Nexus? My device and all TI OMAPS from samsung were the first phones that get fully working CM10, so that's my doubt! Hope that someone can help me!

TI provides way more sources than Qcom.

Yes, This is a question but for comparation phones and I think it belogs here. If not, mods please move it
I'm buying ZTE GRAND X IN next week and I want to ask you what you think about it. Spec here
I might switch to it and give lww to my dad or vice versa if it receive JB. I read that it will get in March 2013 (this month)
So, what do you think. According to unboxing videos it has AOSP UI which I like it
Edit: And how about Xperia J? Same spec like our phones with planned JB update
xperia j doesnt have same specs
our phones are better
but zte is better

Well it has 1GHz single core, 512MB RAM, JB update (I'm mad at you Sony Xperia U is more better but it don't have JB)
J spec here
Odp: [Q] ZTE GRAND X IN vs Live With Walkman vs Xperia J
But J is too laggy for me. I have in my hands Xperia and ZTE. ZTE is super smooth, but I want my Mango

Why do you want the official jb? You could very easily use custom fw. if the phone has better specs, it will be smooth too.

If I can do it, I will done that with my LwW. I have locked bootloader and 90% I'm sure this phones will be locked too.
Ok. There isn't any jb rom for locked right?
Btw, you could try wotan server, (I know it's not free, but considering you have two phones with un-unlockable bootloader)
Back on topic, I would go with zte as j specs are almost like ours, except the jb part. (Heard zte was better.)

Jb roms couldn't run on locked bootloader coz sony didn't released any official kernel, rom or sources for jb for our phones and will never do it. So we need custom kernels for jb which obviously need an unlocked bootloader.
Press THANKS if I helped,

Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Well, there is not even Z for ZTE GXIN and J anroid development forum is not that rich like this :/ I'll buy it but I'm not sure if I or my dad will use it
I don't know if this is bad news but ZTE Grand x In have x86 processor instead of ARM and some apps might be not compatible with it.

you mean port Samsung ROM yo xperia devices?
think you can not, to my knowledge, you can only port design elements (wallpapers, icons, etc.) remember that Samsung, Sony, HTC, has as base Android, and every company that makes is to customize Android to differentiate it from the competition and put their own applications to use unique features of each company.

thanks for reply..
Yes, I mean port Samsung Rom to Xperia ...but why?
Because I tested about 10 Roms on my Xperia U ((Official & Customized)) but all have the same problems
Lag in calls...takes toooo long time to open apps like Whatsapp,viber,FB, or messaging....I only use those apps
While Samsung devices have less ram and cpu speed open 10000 apps and have great performance.

I think what you say has 2 reasons,
1. remember this Samsung above to Sony in device development, his architecture gives it better performance than many others devices.
2. like I said, all are based on Android, and we know that Sony makes optimization for your devices is not always good.
can not carry because Samsung and Sony architectures are different and therefore can not, it is not if you have the same capabilities RAM or not.
example is the Galaxy s3 mini, maclaw can not port ROM for Xperia U but share certain things, he had to take a ROM Sony and implement arrangements that can be (I speak of KitKat)

Hi, I can get a deal offer for the s3 at the price of $233. But I have some questions
Is it still worth getting the galaxy s3 in 2014?
WIll it get official android L from samsung (there is already official kitkat right?)
if there's no official android L, does it have official Cyanogenmod support and so will it get android L cyanogenmod?
for future android L custom roms , will there be problems with some drivers? (e.g. my htc desure never got proper camera support on android 4.X roms as the drivers are not available). Are all drivers(and source code) released by samsung for the s3?
how does it compare with the galaxy s4? is the latter worth the price difference
how is camera (important for me) as compared to smarphones in the same price range available today (e.g. xperia sp, galaxy s4 mini)
thx for your time reading my long list of questions and waiting your replies and suggestions guys. Thx
No, no and no, yes and unlikely, yes and no, s4 is better but not by much, camera is good but only on stock rom.
is camera bad on custom roms? and there's no cyanogenmod official support?

1) Absolutely no for the only 1 GB of RAM.
Actually on Amazon is very sold its Neo variant with 1,5 GB, but according to me it's a madness: a newer hardware is highly preferable and x64 architecture is coming.
2) Absolutely no and you are wrong: no KitKat official support for S3, why it should be extended to Android L? It's impossible!
3) Yes, it's promised by Cyanogen team, but never more the bull**** did with CM 10.2, working of course on a stable rom to switch to CM 11 nightlies as soon as possible.
When CM 11 stable is released, you can stay on CM 12 nightlies.
4) Samsung drivers are already released for custom rom, except for the 2-way call recording.
CyanogenMod prefers to use the hybrid and open source drivers, but with a specific BOEFFLA kernel, actually experimental, you can get the official and proprietary drivers, much better than first.
5) Galaxy S4 is obviously greater than S3 under any aspect, its price is about €300-350.
6) S3 has an excellent camera, but in AOSP roms it's not provided of a good stabilization, so pictures are a bit more moving than in stock rom.
Yup I know there are better hardware (obviously.. it is 2 yrs old) but for the price of $233 is it worth it? I don't want to spend more than $300 on a phone.

will check this out... if the community of custom roms is active (but 5.5" is a bit too big for me and i hope it has sdcard and removable battery)
edit: are you sure it is better than the S3? looking at the specs, it does not look that great and it's a mediatek cpu ... )

I don't know the Mediatek reputation, LG G Pro under many aspects is the ideal phone for your budget.
On Amazon.it its price is about €250, I think less on a bigger store such Amazon US or DE.
As me you want to root the device and flash a custom rom... LG is the only trademark who guarantee warranty also under root permissions.
Please can someone get me the quaraqumus QS-i9300-KK-v2.6 resumable link
Dear Friends,
I know this is a odd question but i would like to know if its possible to port samsung rom to our beloved RN4X, if its possible we can assemble a team to built it from the scratch.
Thank You,
If you want to have Bixby the answer is no

As of now, there are no samsung phones with a snapdragon 625 chipset, so porting the rom can be a bit tough, or maybe impossible especially considering that samsung never releases the source code of their touch wiz os.

Don't care about Bixby, just the whole rom with looks, touchwiz and everything.

Pretty quick for a Xiaomi device
Great, I want to purchase a Mi 8 SE when it is available in my country and I will install LineageOS :3
Does this basically mean we are about to see a massive surge in development of custom roms and kernels for it ?

If we're lucky! It all depends on developers adopting development for the device as with every device. But price to hardware ratio I think (and hope) that it'll happen. When a good ROM comes out, this will probably be my next device!

If it's released globally, then expect a ton of Roms and kernels
example: Mi note 3 has the sources,but is China-only, so development is pretty much dead

I do expect it too as well. It's already available from several importers. However Xiaomi announced that the 'regular' Mi 8 is coming to Europe in August - no mention of the SE version though.
Great, I want to purchase a Mi 8 SE when it is available in my country and I will install LineageOS { thnx Xiaomi )
Already get the phone mi8 SE, 710 is pretty good, waiting for the twrp & lineageos....
