A while back Mevordel was trying to integrate kernel compatibility for the Korean Galaxy Player's camera into the preliminary JB kernel.
However, kernel development for the Galaxy Player has come such a long way and I'm not sure if drivers for the Korean camera were ever integrated into the latest kernel build(s). From what I understand, the camera drivers from the Nexus S (Crespo) are the same as the Korean SGP's camera, and it would be great if a dev could incorporate compatibility in a future kernel release.
I bought my Korean SGP while I was living and working in Seoul. There aren't A LOT of us Korean users on here, but I know that I am not the only one.
Thanks for reading, and for your consideration.

Hello, does somebody tried to install stock rom from Galaxy Trend Plus (GT-S7580) with android 4.2 support onto Galaxy Trend (GT-S7560)?
Is it safe?
I know that the most of roms and modifications from Galaxy Ace II X works on Galaxy Trend, but there's no android 4.0+ that works well on this device (CyanogenMods are with bugs, and uses only 3mpx in CameraMX). I'm asking because design is the same, only difference is that the Trend Plus has CPU with 2 cores and also it can record videos in 720p, Trend in 480p. Maybe after installing that rom on Galaxy Trend it will can record videos in 720p and that at all will work stably and correctly?
In general, no.
I haven't had a research about GT-S7560, but Samsung equipped Android 4.0 to Trend for a reason: it's chip. The single-core on Trend cannot handle 4.0+ stock, and many people reported that on its own 4.0, the phone did't handle the UI very well (lags sometimes).
You can check again, Trend Plus is also incapable of recording 720p (or at less Samsung disabled that). In order to record 720p, the phone's chip and memory must be strong enough. If you want to record 720p videos, you may use a custom camera app. Maybe you would like to check out the modified version of Jelly Bean Gallery app from the stock Android (many on xda), that app supports recording 720p, even though on my Trend Plus, the video recorded was terribly laggy
Anyway, if you wish to have 720p, use custom camera apps (the stock Google version of Gallery which I installed also support 5MP photo capturing). If you want 4.0+ on a Trend, I recommend looking for ways to smoothen the CM
I'm looking for a custom ROM for s7580, but no development is going on
Can give me a link for the modde camera app ? And im also waiting for a forum to develop our galaxy trend plus
lifehacker.com/install-the-new-android-camera-on-any-android-phone-no-711043020
You can search about the stock 4.2 Gallery pk on Google
And... you know, I'm searching everyday for developments of our devices :'( still no hope yet...

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
I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.
I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.
Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.
Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).
This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
S3 Neo has 4.4.
You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.
It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.
If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.
I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.
Then paste list of interesting devices.
For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.
Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)

You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?
As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.

Hi, forum!
I have a Player 5.0 (YP-G70). From reading just a bit of posts it seems like there are different versions of this device (US, Korean and International?). I assume that I have the international version but how can you tell for sure?
Also, I have the stock 2.3.5 ROM, which ROM is the latest/stable/best to go for? If camera isn't 100% it's not the end of the world as it's more important to have the latest possible ROM with stability I think.
TIA!

The U.S. Player 5.0 has a capacitive home button while the international and Korean have a physical home button. The Korean version has a 5mp rear camera while the U.S. and international versions have a 3mp rear camera. I run my own Carbon KitKat build which seems stable enough for me but I really only use my player now for watching videos... I also build some Lollipop ROMs for this device but they do not run very well.

Thank you for the reply! I have the physical button so then it's confirmed that I have an international device I guess.
Will your "Carbon" ROM work on the international device that I have?

Yes, it will run on all versions....make sure to read the instructions carefully.

I recently smashed up my S4 Mini. I was going to repair it, but it seems for not much more cost I could get an S5 Mini or Alpha.
I have been happy running CyanogenMod 11 for several years now; very stable. Reading here, looks like I might not get the same stability from S5 Mini or Alpha though -- given the choice, should I upgrade or stay with the S4 Mini?
Small screen and changeable battery are important to me, as is running a fairly 'open' ROM with PrivacyGuard and some other features I got from CyanogenMod 11. Nothing too experimental though, as I still need to reliably use the phone day-to-day for work etc.
Thanks -- Mark
Alpha has far more better hardware specification (both exynos and qualcom variants) than S5 Mini. I'm using Alpha with exynos and it's a really solid phone but Cyanogen based ROMs aren't working good enough for me to use them day-to-day, in the other hand firmware based ROMs like EpsilRom are working great so if you can live with it than it's worth taking. As far as I know Snapdragon version has no problem with Cyanogenmod but I heard that its CPU is not as fast as exynos one (but it's still the same chip that is in S5). Exynos variant is G850F and Snapdagon is G850W. The only advantages for S5 Mini for me are that it's waterproof and it has micro SD card slot.
Thanks -- very useful.
Can you tell me more of what you mean by "firmware based ROM"? I'm guessing you might mean they are modified versions of the stock ROM, rather than being a compile from source code?
I'll need to look into this situation with variants Exynos vs. Qualcom variants, and which variants are the one on the second hand market here (I'm in the UK)

Yes I meant modified version of the stock ROM, I'm using this one right now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/development/rom-epsilrom-future-t3311333
Exynos variant is like default for Europe so it would be easier to get, and be carefull with these variants because there are few exynos versions(for example G850F and G850K) and few with snapdragon (G850W, G850A)
In theory if g850a was fully unlocked, this forum would be very active :/
Both @kyasu and @modpunk develop LOS 13/14.1.
Definitely if you are choosing from s5mini and ALPHA. Then ALPHA. The S5 mini is compared to Alpha very ****ty build. Plasticky and etc .. Alpha si more premium feel. And performance.
