Message :
Dear Samsung
, the development community, are striving very
hard to achieve that objective. Many users of
Android based Samsung devices want to make the
phones released by you truly inspirational and
surpass any competition. These powerhouses will
achieve its true potential only when the
development community get the Rom Source Codes
will not only benefits the end user but will also be
highly beneficial forSamsung in the long run, as
these customers will then get utmost satisfaction
with their device and will then help in the word-of-
mouth publicity of Samsung products all over the
world.
A truly inspirational product is born when it
inspires the masses and is able to mesmerize the
entire world. With great phones like Samsung Galaxy Star Duos Gt-S5282, we are witnessing a paradigm shift in the
mobile industry and need your little help in making
this turning point even more monumental.
We request you to release the source code for the rom(and not just the kernel) as well as drivers for the different hardware components that require it.
We hope we will not be disappointed by a customer
centric company like yours. Hoping for a positive
response.
Warm regards,
A true Samsung fan.

oh, you mean this github.com/codekidX/android_device_samsung_gt-s5282 ?
that tree is not even half complete.. and sorry but half of the commits there are ******** >_>
the only complete tree is cm-10.1 by unjust. however he did a blind update for cm11, but that needs a lot of reworking :|
and as for the patches, you can see my post in the other thread.. :s
i'll take that as a compliment, thank you ._.

i'm Back! with a capital B and an exclamation mark
i don't remeber joking about anything :/
and screw petitions.. if you think samsung will release anything (other than the kernel which they have to if they don't wanna get ***** because it's GPL), then you all need take your head out of samsung's ****
samsung doesn't want people to make custom roms.. if their 1 year old Galaxy Star 4.1.2 is running a smooth and stable 4.4.4, who the hell is gonna buy their new Galaxy Sh!t 4.4.4 with their new and improved Touchwiz?

it's of no use, they will just ignore it.. just take exynos for example :|
nope not that i know of.. samdung only releases source for kernel, cause that's what they need to release anyway..
the source was released by broadcom for their gpu videocore iv for raspberry pi, which iirc turned out to be not so helpful for galaxy y..
looking at the gerrit review of androidarmv6.. it looks like they are modifying sources to work with proprietary blobs and modifying other sources to work with the device.. and that's for audio, gpu etc...
those, work in this device.. camera can be fixed on further looking.. the HAL was working but crash is due to some memory heap error..
the only problem is of ril.. and i already have said about ril in other thread

I dont think samsung cares about releasing source other than kernel which is why this friday I'm buying Moto G and leaving Samsung for good. You guys should do the same since samsung wont care and keep making bull**** phones.

Only because they *must*, unless they only want to sell their phones where copyright does not exsist. They are not by required by the apache license to give the source. Just take a look what they did and are doing with the exynos.
I don't know what the f**k is samsung doing, they could have just updated this old device, but no they release new ones with basically just a little hardware improvement which could have been done firstly in the old one. :|
Speaking about hardware the sc8810 board used this device can handle 640x480 resolution and 1gb of ram just fine. And the new star ii they are going to release is supposed to use sc8815 board which can handle 800x480 resolution.
But no, they have to cripple it down to no good and make people think spredtum is ****ty. though not good as the big games out there. spreadtrum makes considerable SoC for the price it is offered.
And you can find far better spec'd spreadtrum devices produced by other companies. But many people won't even look at those devies and buy the crippled samsung ones, cause it's samusung duh. >_>
And oh, they also say, the 1gb galaxy s3 is not able to handle kitkat. and here people get kitkat running on 3 year old armv6 device with 290mb of ram :3
Good, thing my star broke, i wanted to throw it anyway. =|
By the way welcome back. and thanks for contributing to this device. if it was not for you and others this device wouldn't even imagine of making a place in xda.
And have fun with your new Moto G =)

hmm waiting for mine to break. But ill have to break it with perfect timing to get a new mobile.
And they released 4 new phones just when better mobiles were crushing the market. The biggest noobs here might be better than samsung at such things. Uhhh!
Well this 1 was the gud 1(At its price) when i bought it so really cant complain on the better mobiles but if they just paid a bit of attention on this phone No-one wud be mad

ril would have worked without source if they had not modified the API too much, the audio, hwc and others work pretty well..
if star 2 will use standard api, there is a chance it can be portred for star, too.. as the board is similar
anways, this device has no developer for now, at least a bootable build of cm11 could be made if any one was working on it :3

@superuser tried to help but naa it dint work out.
