Best/most supported smartphone. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a HTC One S. I can't complain about the phone but there aren't a lot official ROMs for this cellphone. On the new website of aokp isn't any ROM for the one s anymore, cyanogenmod has only cm10 stable and some 10.1 nightly and there is screen tearing, too. Or for example Ubuntu touch isn't avaible. Or a super nexus ROM. Or miui 5.
So my question is what is a good supported but also powerful smartphone?

Only Nexus devices get the most development support. Get a Nexus 4...

Sell it and equip yourselves with a nexus you won't start a thread like this again - for nexus something new pops up everyday

OK and any other devices? Maybe for people who are reading this thread and dont like nexus?

If you don't like nexus don't worry you will also able to use latest android resources.
But you need to search in google that how to make a own custom rom

The Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, and Galaxy Note II all have great developer support, the US market versions of these phones have even better developer support but the International versions are great too. The Xperia Z is another phone with great developer support as well. All of these devices have official Cyanogenmod support, and AOKP support (Except for the Galaxy S4 which at this moment doesn't have official AOKP) support.

Thank's but I'm a bit worried to make it myself. If it would be that simple why aren't there more roms ?

Thank's. Yes that's the problem. I live in Germany. Thanks maybe S3 or S4 Note is too big for me and I don't like Sony.

Its not simple but these days there are tutorials on compiling/debugging that makes life easier for newbies wanting to take first steps into aosp development

Bro making a rom is hard for us but not impossible.
You just need to learn how to port rom's from another device and how to modify your stock kernel to work properly in your custom rom.
Don't forget that the nexus/cm rom makers are also a human like us.
Try to search in Google.com

Developing ROMs?

Hi, I was interested in building an ICS ROM for the galaxy player 4.2. After compiling ICS from the source, what steps do you need to take to make it into a ROM?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I'm afraid it's not THAT simple. AFAIK, there is a lot of work to be done before a booting ICS can be achieved. If you have no prior experience in android ROM development, I don't think this is a task you should take up right now. ICS compiled from the AOSP will not work on the 4.2 without modification and an ICS kernel, both of which are far beyond my current technological skill. Also this should be in general. Yes, I know it IS development related, but this IS a development site. Questions belong in the general thread. Thanks.
Odp: Developing ROMs?
Well starting by practice is good way imo. I did so But wothout knowledge, you have to be extremely patient

I understand, maybe I can look at how it was achieved on the other players and it might be similar?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't look at the other players, as the 4.2 is pretty different from the 4 and 5. Try finding another Samsung product with similar hardware. Example: the galaxy player 5.0 is very similar to the SGS i9000 , Nexus S (crespo), and GTab p1000.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Okay, but I'm pretty sure the 4.2 is similar to nexus s?

Compare specs. Find out.

Odp: Developing ROMs?
by specs our devices are quite similar, by kernel etc. less but still similar.
I think that good and interesting way of learning is to add same/similar modifications as on crespo/aries and try to understand how does it accually work.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm quite busy at the moment catching up with school work, I'll see what I can do this weekend.
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
Hell, the 4.2 might even get an official update. Unlikely, but possible. IDK if Samsung has made a statement about this, but it only came out last year. (I think)
I called Samsung and asked about official updates and they said the 4.2 won't be getting any because the specs aren't good enough....

Thats a lie. there was a device called the Galaxy Music that had an 800 mHz processor that got JB.
Samsung wont update the galaxy players because they are much cheaper compared to phones (take the s3 for example, it costs 700-800 bucks if you get it without a contract)
I'd suggest reading through the following threads if you haven't already. Then ask about the specific parts there you're not understanding.
[GUIDE] How to port ROMs to the Galaxy Players
[Guide]Rom Development for Dummies (and a few other things)
And I found this one that describes the complete process for the aospa rom. You should be able to adapt the details for whatever rom you're working on.
[GUIDE][AOSPA:v3.+] How to Compile AOSPA from Source : + Support and Maintenance
That won't work until there is a working ICS kernel though. And even after that is completed, work will need to be done on the ROM.

SGS4 Google Edition AOSP ROM compatible with SGS3?

Do you guys think that the SGS4 Google Edition ROM could work on our SGS3? Or at least include some new sources and stuff that could improve AOSP ROMS on our device like CM10.1?

I hope so, I'm dying to get stock android on my S3 with proper 'official support' and without all those S-Crap "features". *Cross Fingers"
On the other hand, I really doubt it; with the stock version of the S4 selling about $650+ ... (That, before some XDA-Magic applied to that ROM )
Highly unlikely. The Google edition S4 is qualcomm and our S3's are exynos..

A few reasons:
-Great specs
-Cheap
-I can completely wipe it out and throw something awesome as CM (Or any custom flavour, for that matter)

Not a chance it will work.. they're different phone with different hardware.

[REQ] Multi-Window Port

Isn't it about time someone ported Multi-Window to our phone? It is called the Galaxy S3 Mini afterall. Seeing as Multi-Window is one of the main features of practically all Samsung Galaxy Phones it makes sense for us to have it. So if there's anyone out there willing to port it, then please do.
Thanks, Kieran

I think dariolob said he stopped working on it a while a go. As for trying it myself, I've tried a few times with zero success. My most recent attempt got "lost in cyberspace" because my laptop crashed while recompiling apks, but thanks for the advice though

I don't think it will be much use seeing that our phone's screen's resolution is comparatively low :/
but I'd be happy to see any new features developed, whatever they are
EDIT: Paranoid Android's HALO feature is IMO better than multi-window and getting that working on our phones should be even better
Here's a link for the people who don't know what it is

One benefit of HALO is that it can run ANY app

The low resolution wouldn't really matter. We've still got 233ppi which isn't exactly terrible, I know it's not amazing but it's good enough.

Can You Dev for the Samsung Dart. Just go to Github and type it in, source under DashBlack. There are also some CM7 roms for it so you can port, located at MadTeam forums. Development has really slowed down and it would help if you could port just one rom for it. Just Google CM7 Samsung Dart. If you could build ICS or Jellybean for it that would be AWESOME!! Doesn't even have to be stable, just make it boot
