Hello,
I am quite new here along with quite new with my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
I was wondering if anyone was working on 4.4 KitKat for the device. I haven't really heard or seen much around here describing the matter, so I thought about asking it to the general public.
Any constructive feedback whatsoever would be fantastic!
Thank you for those still supporting this device!
I'm trying the CM 11 on my Note 1 but the only thing that I can say is: Is only a fu***** AOSP based Rom! I think that with the new year max. we will get a stable and fully customizzable CM 11, for now the CM is an AOSP ROM and nothing more... for now remain on a stable 4.2.2 or 4.3.1, that's the better thing to do.
There are KitKat ROMs!
YES! There are finally some nice and stable kitkat roms for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0! I currently have CM11 (4.4.2) on my player. There are also some ROMs like SlimKat, BeanStalk4.4+, and more! You just have to look more at the forums. Seek, and you will eventually find. Like some of the ones mentioned here:

I apologize in advance for being a noob and asking a very very silly question. I'm new to the Android platform and want to learn.
Here we go. I'm impressed by the UI of Stock Android that can be seen on Nexus devices (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, they look and work so cool). No lagging, no fancy TouchWiz or anything. But Samsung Galaxy S2 has this touchwiz thingy. I recently got to know that the UI that I love (stock Android) is a part of CM10 (I mean, CM10 looks very much like it, and has added functionality compared to stock Android), and it can be installed on the Galaxy S2. Now there are a few things:
If I get an S2 and install CM10 on it,
- Will it be free of major bugs (there are a few bugs in every OS). But will it perform like the OS on those Nexus devices?
- Would it be a better decision, compared to getting a Nexus device (I don't want the Nexus 4 for some reason, and Galaxy Nexus, well, has slightly low-end hardware).
- Also, I was preferring a Nexus device only for the stock Android look and experience, but if I can get that on a rather flagship phone, why go for a Nexus?
I'll ask more questions once you fine folks post some replies. Please help me out... Thanks, help will be appreciated in non-Androidish terms (though I'm technically sound in all aspects, but i'm a noob when it comes to Android).
Thanks in advance
if you want bug free stock android buy a nexus *period*
gs 2 will have issues with future android updates sadly we havnt got butter on cm10 even after about 6 months of development

Thanks! What about other Custom ROMs? Are there any ones out there (apart from CM10) which look, feel, and work like Stock Android?
(not worth asking, but preferably with less bugs?)

Bro in all honesty, CM10 is actually pretty good for this device and you probably wont really notice much of the bugs (ok there are some annoying niggly issues with the audio but definitely not a deal breaker or anything major, you might not even notice it) and it is a good alternative to AOSP (nexus roms). Yes project butter does not work but the ROM is still damn fast considering that its not implemented "yet".
Another good Nexus type ROM is AOKP, for me this is the better ROM because it has some damn fine swagger, and you will see what I mean if you install it. It is based of CM10 sources so very similar but still unique. Personally bro I would only stick with these two as they are very good quality ROM's, unfortunately as mentioned before, we are stuck with incomplete sources due to Samsung withholding them so we wont have fully stable ROM's until this is released.
My sincere advice is to buy galaxy nexus or nexus 4 if you can. Else I advice you to use CM9 till the time Samsung releases essential sources to make CM10 work better. CM9 will give you much better battery life than CM10. As it is the battery life of S2 is not that great.

Thanks for all the replies guys, really appreciated. Actually I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus and a Galaxy S2 at the same price (almost $345). Since S2 is much better (in terms of hardware) as far as I know, it has less issues, better battery life and so forth. All it lacks is the OS that I want in Galaxy nexus, and since you're telling me that AOKP is just as good as stock Android, I can put AOKP (or even CM9 or Cm10) on it and use it. I just want a Galaxy Nexus for the OS, not for the hardware. As a matter of fact, the hardware of Galaxy Nexus is quite disappointing, so that's why I'm preferring the S2. The only reason I'm asking the questions is: whather I can flash a nexus-like ROM on to it and have a nexus-like OS experience. Is that possible? And is it worth doing?

AOSP (in this case CM10) is already good enough to use, and you won't find major bugs as mentioned before (IF you can find them as you don't sound like a really heavy user but I could be wrong). So why waste money on a device if the S2 has better hardware?
AOKP is a modified version based on AOSP, but indeed has a lot more options.

How fast will CyanogenMod shoot out some stable/release candidate ROMS for Non-Nexus phones?
If I am correct, lately CyanogenMod has been releasing new stable versions for phones at one time, rather than one at a time. This is quite a puzzler to me, because CyanogenMod hasn't even released a stable release for any phone running android 4.3 AKA:CyanogenMod 10.2. It seems to me that they should have been on this ball months ago. They have just become a legit company, named CyanogenMod Inc., yet still have not updated any ROM to the newest software (Android 4.3). Hopefully, they will be on the ball one KitKat comes out on October 15th, along with the new nexus.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Are you sure? Unless your CM10.1.3 is android 4.3, there are no stable versions of 4.3 released for any device right now. As far as CM goes.
As far as I knew CyanogenMod was bringing android 4.3 to its version 10.2.

I personally don't think they're heavily concerned with 10.2 I think KitKat is going to get the focus.

Sorry but thats not how the CM Team rolls. They're main priority will still be 10.2 to get whatever bugs or concerns addressed till they move to another project. They're not just going to waste hours of developing and let it go down the drain. Until they produce a product that is completely flawless and bugfree, then...they'll move to a new project.
Cm10.2 nightly is good for daily use

Well I'm not an expert user... Every night they make some updates so I think they'll be trying to make 10.2 perfectly stable before releasing a 4.4 rc

It kind of is, most of the team will move on to modifying 4.4 and a few will stay behind to make the previous release stable. This will also mean that now will be somewhat of a feature stop for 10.2

Thanks! I've flashed SuperNexus, it's extremely fast but I feel that the S3 lost tons of features. I wish there would be such a beautiful UI with many feature and very lightweight like this!
Well, you can change number in build.prop
Most 4.4 changes won't be visible under TW anyway

With the amount of bugs kitkat hardly has any benefits. If your looking for feature filled or lightweight roms you can turn your attention towards the S4 based roms like Glamour S4 or S4 Revolution. They will amaze you but are large in size. The latest SmartDroid rom is new but is very light in size, has the Samsung features you love and even has a themeing system, although its buggy in the new version you can customize your icon packs, themes, and status bar to kitat/xperia/sense etc styles. Do give it a try.

Hello,
First I want to thank everyone that contributed in development of software for our Samsung Galaxy Ace II. Especially Team Canjica, Rox and many many others!
Jolla, the producent of Sailfish OS, has just released the LibHybris 1.0, which allows the devs to build the Sailfish OS for ANY Android device running CyanogenMod 10.1. It is THE BIG CHANCE for our device!
Sailfish OS is a lot faster and smoother OS than Android. Our device with just 768 MB RAM and dual core Novathor CPU should perform a lot better on Sailfish than on Android. And it is possible to run Android apps on Sailfish too!
http://www.jollausers.com/2014/07/sailfish-os-hardware-adaptation-dev-kit-release-1-0/
So I want to ask our great community to try to port Sailfish OS for our device. We have the very good working CM 10.1, so we should try! It can be the second life for our device
I hope we will start the great discussion and the devs will be helpful
Please, port this amazing system to Ace II
Cheers
I dig this! If someone wanted to develop this i would be happy to try this os.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using XDA Free mobile app
Even though I'm migrating to the fastest android phone ever, if SailfishOS is released for the Ace 2, I would be a VERY happy man! Please make it happen! Many of us don't use the Ace 2 for 3D gaming anyway, so a lack of apps on SailfishOS is negligible! :good:
Any response from developers?
Well, i do not know how it's done, but cm 10.1.x is quite slower, than 10.2's, so wouldn't be lost what is gained?
Only the kernel from CM 10.1 is used for drivers purposes. Anything else is just pure Sailfish, and it should be A LOT MORE FLUID AND FAST than any Android version.

...if you say so..ok, thx for clarification. but you know , that newer kernels(10.2 minimum) are main source of speed of actual roms? Even not roms itself, you know..

I dont think that kernel in CM 10.1 is a lot different than kernel from CM 11. We must ask @Rox, but I think that backporting some features from CM11's kernel wont be too hard. Lets hope so

I think they are a realist myself, as this is an old, yet highly dev supported, phone, and due to it's rubbish GPU, will highly benefit from SailfishOS, as 3D games are useless on this device.

Also, this.
Supposedly most android apps should be compatible too so this should be a fun experience
No one is interested in porting it?

As far ad I know, android apps work only on the original jolla phone. Porting does not support them yet.

Hi don't get me wrong IS looks great but don't know about devs.. To be honest here is lack of drugs and I think that for android L wait more people than for this.... On the other hand would be use full to contact someone from other teams that have recently ported the latest versions to ace2 if they don't plan to do it again... But this is not you have asked for.... I know. But the community for android is bigger sorry for that and clean one runs the smoothest yeah not clean but with lot of use full features like from carbon.... But if there is a def that likes this more than android l... Would be happy to try also this out.... But have to pedal for community too to consider the total demand over local projects
just my guess, android 5.0 needs updated binary whilst the sailfish need only binary up to cm 10.1
so there will be a bit performance gap because of driver needed
but well that was just a wild guess :cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
Hi guys,
Pretty new to this forum. I just gave my younger cousin the Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (I717 model Rogers). I've tried to disable what apps I can, but still notice that the phone is fairly slow. Can someone please give me some advice on what is the best custom rom/root option out there that will enhance the performance of this phone? Doesn't matter if it's for Kitkat or Lollipop, just something that will speed up this phone. I am sure touchwiz running on here doesn't help, but I am looking forward to suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

What is best is what works best for the way you use it. Stock roms are the most stable and least bugs. There are older, speedier, stock based roms including Ginger Bread and Ice cream Sandwich as well as slower Jelly Bean varietals. You may prefer a highly customized or base Cyanogenmod rom depending on the features that are important to you. These are now available from highly stable CM 9 to rapidly developing, usable but far less stable CM 12 varieties. Do your research on these forums and try some at your own risk. There are lots of historical comments on these roms to give you an idea of what worked and what didn't.
