Hey guys,
seen this post right :
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...a-android-4-2-aosp-released-xda-developer-tv/
So I went to the http://get.cm/?device=&type=stable link and tried to find the international SG3 CM10 and i couldn't find it? is it possible to flash one of the others? will it fit ?
if not, what is so different that they couldn't release it for the intl version ? :-/
First, you can not use cm10 for US SGS3 on intl SGS3!
No here is why you do not have final CM10 on intl SGS3:
-cyanogen team need hardware source code from Samsung to make a fully working CM10 for intl SGS3
BUT
-Samsung did not release it
-dev ask for it
-Samsung said "yes" but does not seem to release usefull stuff for now (they said "end of 2012" so we still have little hope)
Right...

Well thanks for that info, never knew the situation was casued by Samsung, it's a real shame, CM is such a great operating system that it doesn't have a substitute in my opinion in any spect and i've tested many.
Today I even flashed the original UK 4.2 Jelly bean just to experience what it's like and it was disappointing compared to my CM9, Sammobile are falling behind light years from the CM developers, How could this be ? aren't there real engineers compared to CM developers who are supposed to be amateurs (very proffesional ones) whom prove to be more innovative and proffesional.
I'm gonna flash back to my CM9 stable version, there's nothing better yet, looking forward to CM10 (hopefully it'll be here soon)
Cheers !

Hi all,
First of all, I'm amazed and gobsmacked at how much work all the devs put into their respective ROM's, it's amazing the effort and hard work ppl put in. Passion is alive and well on XDA
Now, to business. I have my Galaxy SII, a Galaxy S, and an Acer Iconia A500. I've flashed them all with their respective ICS. I would think (and hope) that probably out of all of them, the SII has the biggest dev base and most power. The ICS ROMs for the A500 and S are almost perfect. They run completely vanilla with no or almost no bloat, they look and behave the same (icons for network activity inside the bars for example, contacts app looks the same) and have had no hiccups whatsoever.
Come the SII, the only ROMs I've seen are cooked from Samsung sources with their phone and contacts apps, they crash and reboot and if it weren't that I have gone past the point of no return in regard to effort I'd have gone back to Gingerbread days ago.
Is anyone out there developing a completely vanilla "Google" rom that isn't themed to look like ICS, but actually uses the ICS apps etc. I can't understand how the Iconia and SI can have this while the SII seemingly doesn't.
Can anyone open my eyes on this? I'd love to get something as stable onto my SII as I have with my other devices, ICS is brilliant to use on them...and barely bearable on my beloved SII.
Cheers

Ummmm correct me if I am wrong but that's exactly what the CM team are trying yo to do....
And you can already download and install that, so long as you are happy with the bugs at present.
Unless you meant something else???

You miss reading the cm9 thread. Check it out....its still alpha.

I'm more curious about the fact I would have thought the SII having a bigger user and dev base...certainly more than the A500 I thought it would have the most stable and mature code base - yet it seems the opposite is true.
I've been running 4.0.3 on my SI for weeks now and its never bugged out. Installed the A500...and Oh wow its like a brand new tablet!! I wonder is it because of Exynos or some other reason we can't have the same stability and performance right now.

Your ignorance and disrespect is pretty bad (even if you don't mean it). I think you should do some reading for a while and get yourself acquainted with what's involved.
I didn't ask this to be dissed by someone...I'm sure even you would agree the development cycle and challenges for all three devices would be similar given they all use different processors. So is it easier to compile for the A8 and Tegra than the A9?
I have been looking and downloading a number of ROMs...and if someone has created a ROM in a similar vein to Thor's on the A500 and Onecosmic's on the SI, well I'd be grateful for the heads up...in fact I'm just about to download and test the Pure ROM I just spied over in dev...so see how that goes. Still I'd be happy for someones *constructive* input.
Of course I'm claiming ignorance...if I knew I wouldn't ask...geez lol

It's a wonder no one bothers doing a straight AOSP compile for any device, really. CyanogenMod comes the closest. There are a few people who played with doing a straight AOSP, but they base it off CM's work and strip out the extras.
When I wanted the AOSP experience with Gapps, I installed CM7 on my SGS and installed the stock Gingerbread launcher. It was the closest I got.
Trebuchet is basically the stock ICS launcher with features added, so it won't be so bad. You can also replace it with the stock launcher as well.
Try Airbus 360s ics rom that's aosp and is fantastic he should be releasing beta 2 tonight.

haha I bet that confused ya
You're question is a bit noob so don't expect much answers.
Here is a short one to sum it for you:
AOSP - Pure android base without modification.
CM - almost pure with modifications.
STOCK - Hardware Manufacturer (eg. Samsung's) "official originated" release.
Stock - can have it all. CAUSE - Samsung has sources and support/docs for ALL hardware API of the device.
CM/STOCK - While there are some changes BOTH use the same origin.
To sum it, for proper functionality BOTH use SAME kernel/libs base.
So if some hardware functionality broken in one it'll be broken in other =
If CM9 haz no h/w decoding === APPLIES for AOSP.
Another thing to keep in mind, CM9 currently is in the process of adding CM features so current builds are very close to AOSP with functionality.
SUM IT UP:
if (CM9 != working) AOSP.isNotWorking()!

That's a piece of horrible code, dude
About two months ago I tried a Jellybean ROM for my S2. The speed wasn't something, and I was told the reason is project butter is disabled for S2 roms, because of lack of hardware support. I was told that project butter will only be fully supported for the S2, once official jellybean rom be released by samsung, only then hardware acceleration will be fully supported.
What is the status currently with project butter and jellybean roms for the S2 ? I saw that some of the roms claim hardware support (they call it "HW composer") but some people say this is still only very partial support, and those ROMs are still not getting the full project butter experience...
Anyone has definite answer for this subject ?

NO. for now no custom JB roms of s2 has 'project butter' fully adopted
"Project Butter" will work when Samsung will release Android 4.1.2. They'll do it in about 2-3 weeks, I think.

What kind of news? Did you notice an official release of JB from Samsung?

I own several tabs that I loan to my employees. I need something fast and stable before I leave stock ICS. Is there a timetable or a completely stable aosp JB rom?
Thanks.
CM10.1 for Galaxy Tab 10.1, as it stands now, cannot ever go stable (unless 4.2 is released for Tegra2 which most likely won't occur since it has been EOL'd).
This is because there is quite a mess with Google Apps (which most users install and use from the usual places) on this platform where things have to be hacked/modded/worked around for things to work. This is because support for non NEON architecture (like Tegra2) has been dropped.
However, CM10 for Galaxy Tab 10.1 can go stable and will do so once the remaining bugs are squashed. This is being worked on. A timetable cannot be given at this current time.
Thanks... What are the bugs? Is it on your website?

yea you can view what is left from a major issue point of view, as of 0122 unofficial.

Hi i'm new to this device, sorry if this has been asked before.
I noticed for CM10.1, the i9100G variant has RC4 for it, compared with only nightlies for the i9100.
Does this mean there's better dev support for the i9100G model? But the i9100G sub-forum seems smaller?
I want to buy the one that had better dev support & custom roms run better on, so please advise, thanks.

9100G has a TI-OMAP chipset and all sources are out.The 9100 has Exynos and not all the sources are out.But overall the 9100 has slightly better specs.Well, for custom roms as CM the G version is better.
It's not the support that's missing but the sources.But it's also true that the last nightlies for 9100 are absolutely stable.There are just few games that are not working well.

So the custom roms for the G are more stable? Does camera well work on both versions?
The I9100 (still) has much more dev support than the I9100G and always has. This talk about sources has nothing to do with anything.
Having said that, given the phone was released two years ago, I wouldn't be buying one now. I'd be buying an S3 (which also has a lot of development) or even an S4.

The camera is working well on both.But you just cannot tell, that custom roms on G are more stable.Custom roms are not just a phone thing but also developer's and 9100 has much more dev support.I gave you an answer based on your question about CM. I have a 9100 version and I wouldn't change it for a G.Few non working games on CM and CM based roms are just not enough for me.The Mali GPU is much better for me as the Power on G.And imho the G version was made by Samsung just to reduce the production costs.

Sources has nothing to do with anything? Tell it then to "codeworkx".
Codeworkx has a bee in his arse over Samsung not releasing sources & enjoys the attention he gets when he regularly cracks the ****s over same. Every other dev sucks it up & produces the best rom/kernel/whatever they possibly can in spite of same.
The I9100 is the 'superior' device in every possible way (hardware, sheer variety/volume of both past & present development). If you're going to buy a two year old phone, you don't buy the I9100G unless it's either given to you for free or it's a helluva lot cheaper than the I9100 (And I mean a lot cheaper; even then I wouldn't).
I'm waiting for the nexus 5, but want something a little faster in the meantime...
Just got offered a GS2 i9100 variant for $150 (USD) great condition, should i accept it, then sell it when the N5 comes out? I wouldn't make too much of a loss i think, the value might be down $50 at most after 6mths?
Oh and gaming isn't important to me....
How stable and well developed is Cyanogenmod 10.1 on Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300?
I know that it won't have so-called stable builds (because Samsung doesn't support AOSP development).
I have heard that @codeworkx has left Cyanogenmod development on Galaxy S3, is it so?
I want to understand what is the current development status of Cyanogenmod (10.1 and future versions) for i9300 - is CM 10.1 stable/usable on i9300, what are the odds that there will be future versions of CM on this phone?
How smooth are 10.1 nightlies running on i9300?
What could be the future of Cyanogenmod on Galaxy S3 i9300?

CyanogenMod Known issues in the Nightlies:
-Home button on Screen-Off takes user to Home, instead of on-screen-running app. (I would use power button instead)
-FM Radio: unsupported. Use Spirit FM Radio from Play Store instead.
-TV Out: unsupported, will never work (proprietary, undocumented).
-No exFAT support (proprietary, Microsoft).
I don't think these even matter (atleast to me). Other than these issues, the Cyanogenmod build is more stable than ever. You can go ahead, take any latest build or custom CM builds by other developers like temasek and try it on your device. No big deal. I'm sure you'll not be disappointed at the hard work done by the Developers.
Yes, Team Hacksung (Part of CM team) will no longer be working on samsung devices since they no longer provide proper sources. There have been long and hard cries over this, but Samsung doesn't care. So thats the end of it I guess.
Other members of CyanogenMod team will keep on developing as long as they wish So you can have some expectations as long as you are patient.
The biggest issue is the camera. For most, FM radio etc are minor issues. But the camera is a always a deal breaker.
I find taking videos is unreliable. It sometimes won't record, needing a reboot. This has to happen once when your baby is doing something for the first time for considering switching back to the awful sammy roms.
I haven't had bugs in taking pictures in a very long time though, so that seems stable, but video still an issue (for me at least, and I megawipe before flashing).
don't ask questions in this section, ask in the questions section
Very stable, but you may have to know that you maybe get not so much batterylife like on StockROM.
