Is there android L rom for s2 in future - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just a question!?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

You will not get an official Samsung ROM as the S II has been EOL'd. You may however get 3rd party ROM's like CyanogenMod, though frankly its far too early to tell as android L is currently only in preview release.

Android 4.0 is already release on market ! why Android 3.0 only release to big company, does not release to public ?

Are you talking sources? Honeycomb was incomplete and only for tablets, so it made more sense for Google to wait til ICS, where the two cross and makke one universal Android OS, and is more complete. Honeycomb sources won't see the light of day, but ICS will, after the Galaxy Nexus's release.

In November 2011. Only some devices will get ICS (at least officially that is ).
As u can see from my post I have a very weak phone so I'm hoping I get some kind of update vodafone 858=huawei u8160

It will all depend on the XDA developers and CM team!

There is almost zero chance that phone can run ICS (at least in a reasonable manner) IMO.

Cyanogenmod 9 questions

Hi all just upgraded from a galaxy nexus so I've gone fond of cm9 and stock(vanilla), android and was wondering when cm9 comes available to gs3 will it not be porting over a few features that makes gs3 stand out from all the rest like tracking eye movement or other such features
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Don't expect it in the beginning. CM9 will be just like it is on all other devices. The eye tracking and other features will be ROM specific to the Samsung ROM. I imagine that some savvy developers will come up with an add on for these features or even the CM9 team themselves to build it into their code but that will take time.
Should read this http://opendesign.bbqdroid.org/features
Ok thanks but would you stay with stock roms till the intergration of such features and implemented

If yo want those features, yes.
It's only a matter of time when CM9 would be released. They won't be making it but porting it and resizing it to fit in with dimenssions of the phone. exceptional features like the eye detection would be there if not right on the release. Though CM aims to get rid poitless stock apps and features, the main and usefull ones are not only kept, but improvised and implented in different ways. So ye keep your eyes out for it to come soon
Im surprised. Theres only one rom out lol

[ROM][GROUPER] SickleRom 4.1.2

The SickleSoftware team is pleased to present you with SickleRom.
This rom is based off of cyanogenmod for ease of porting to new devices. Its also based on 4.1.2 for that same reason. Something different about our rom however is we are taking the few good features from 4.2.1 and putting them into 4.1.2 so that even more devices can use them. We as a team, also don't agree with the way google took their new flavour of jellybean. So we hope you agree with ours, thank you for giving our rom a chance.
Change log:
http://review.sicklesoftware.com/#/q/status:merged,n,z
Source code:
http://github.com/SickleSoftware
Download:
http://goo.im/devs/SickleSoftware/SickleROM-ALPHA/grouper/SickleROM-ALPHA-V1.0.0.zip
NOTE this rom is still in beta and alpha stages per device we currently plan on adding a lot more features and reworking the way the rom functions and looks. All features by us or cm will also be toggleable. Consider this alpha release preview nightly
If you would like to be a beta tester PM me with a request to get access to our beta forums
Since it is based on 4.1.2, will it act correctly with the 4.13 bootloader?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I have done 4.2.1 update with the images provided by Google and flashed the rom on the new boot loader and it works fine. But when flashing remember the 4.2 google apps are NOT compatible

Hi does this ROM have multiuser from 4.2 with new directory structure?
Hoping not as interested in latest 4.1.2 until directory bind and CFS fixed in 4.2

Nope it does not. Were working on doing 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 as both active development

Excellent I'll prob try this out later cheers
Edit: tried to install few times got black screen every time. Is there a boot video or is it suppose to be black. Left it for ten mins and nothing. I'll keep an eye out on this though as I want most uptodate 4.1.2 for directory bind. Thanks anyway

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
Send from sg wifi5.0 with mine kernel
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?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
Compare specs. Find out.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
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.

Best/most supported smartphone.

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 ?

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
