Well, there are only two kernel developers here in the P500 forum, franco and fserve. There is no doubt that the work both of you have done is off the charts, tweaking every little thing that can be tweaked to such an extent that there hardly is anything left to tweak. And there is no doubt that most, if not all, of the people using your kernels love the work you guys put out.
With that in mind, however, there are a couple of things (specifically bugs) that we request, not demand, to be fixed. As we all know, our phone is affected by two things that I, as well as many other users, believe are two major bugs: the cpu spiking to 100% when touching the screen and the axis inversion bugs. Even with both of your kernels as good as they are now, these bugs hinder their true capability, thus hindering the phone's true capability. Both of you might just be thinking, "Well, there is paolo's kernel, go use that." And as kernel developers, you have every right to think that and decline this request. But seeing how good both of your kernels are, why not make it better?
Please consider this, as many of us believe both of your kernels can be made better with these bugfixes.
The poll is there as an estimate and measure of how many users believe that these bugfixes will make your kernels better.

Agreed
PES2012 is hard to play with the lags but suprisingly Pes2011 does not have lag...I read once that Sippolo said its a 2 minute fix for the cpu spike bug
i think its ok to fix bugs even when most users can profit.
but, what about users who have new/other phones now?
i know from franco he's not developing on .35 currently because he has a new phone
and the P500 is used by his father - no way to develop on every day. the next reason is as we
all know, the P500 is a nice device for android beginners but most of us have seen
the new things like Nexus S, Galaxy S-2, HTC devices or other high end phones. I'm sorry
to say that but the P500 is some old and almost used in countries where such high end
devices cant be payed for, or, in most cases too - most users who bought this device
are very young (when i think how old i'm) - and, good developers have a real job to get
enough money for high end devices ... so, these developers cant support such low budget
devices all the time.
For me this means, i'm developing on P500 because its most funny for me to see all these
**** LG hardware bugs, but decided too that there is no way to develop on P500 the next year
too, so the next phoenix-android gingerbread will be the last release for the P500 device too.
I dont know what mik_os is doing, i think he has a real job too and no time to develop all
the time for this device ...
But, ok, these words sounds very sad for most users - i think, there are other ways or users
who take the developers work and can support such devices for a few months. for me it
doesnt matter if users are coming to me and asking how they can develop on my code.
Android should be open source, that means for me there is a community who want to develop
on - and not everybody is a real developer but can learn something, and that can only be reached
with help and understanding each other. Everybody can say "I want Gingerbread on my phone, i want
ICS on my phone, i want a hell kernel on my phone" - but these work cant be developed by google,
its the task for the community, so lets start here and now and stop crying for franco, fserve, mik or
others! Learn to help your self! Be a part of a real community!
I understand what you are trying to say andy, and after reading your post, i must say that i have to agree with you.
As much as I want to start developing myself, I have no idea where to begin. Just a question, which language must I learn to start android development? (is it java or c++? ive seen both languages mentioned but i do not know which one. is there one specific for roms and one specific for kernels? because i think i might give kernel development a try once i learn the appropriate language)

Developing on android doesnt mean you have to write code by yourself all the time.
Sure, its good to know about C/C++, Java, Shell scripting, makefile reading/writing and other things
but in most time we can copy or integrate existing patches. So, you only know about the bug and
where to fix it with what programming language. For the first time, search for the bug on google
and/or github - with some luck users can find a fix that needs only to copied in the local code.
To start developing on android, its a good choice to understand in details how android is working
and even a good thing is to know about Linux. On windows, you cant develop on Android OS so
you need at least a small Ubuntu/Linux Mint/RedHat or SuSE system with compilers and Java installed.
The next required knowledge is to know how Android is interacting with files:
What is Java for, what is C/C++ for, how Android is booting and what are JNI libraries.
We can open a thread so we can explain something or users can ask for specific things there.

good idea (this sounds like sticky material)! would you like to open it? it would not make sense for me to open it since I'm not a developer
First of all i would like to thank andy, mik_os, franciscofranco, fserve, ciaox,knzo, docotornotor and many others who i may have forgotten for their impeccable work towards this community and for working their asses off. You'll are invaluable assets to the community and i could'nt imagine using my phone without you'll.
Reading andy's post i must have to agree with him because you devs have worked so hard towards our phone even though many of you''ll don't own one. Also you bared with the many spams, useless comments on your threads without saying a word. Also many of you have jobs in RL for which you have to work hard, and developing for a phone which you don't even own/primitive phone would seem to you as a waste of time and i can thoroughly understand that. Even though i dunno scat about developing, i do know that it is highly time consuming and resource oriented.
So as you'll probably know that the 2 most irritating bugs on our phone are the touchscreen driver lags, and the axis inversion bugs. Me, as well as thousands of p500 users can't thank franciscofranco and fserve for their dedicated work towards our phone and for developing two awesome kernels which made our p500 superfast. Any p500 user could match his phone's performance to our higher end phones and show its capablities off even though it being a low-ish end phone. I think i am speaking for the thousands of p500 owners all around the world and i would like to take this opportunity to request you kernel developers to fix these bugs and include them in your fanstastic kernels. India itself has the largest number of p500 owners all around the world and this phone is still popular as of today and if you'll didn;t know it is THE BEST SELLING SMARTPHONE phone in India. Therfore tons of us users would love if u fixed these two final bugs as they in my opinion are the biggest performance drainers all credits to ******y LG developers. As sweetnsour said, you devs have every right to decline this request as there is already the paulos kernel and plus you devs have worked your asses off to tweak our phones to its fullest extent and i don't think there may be any more tweaking left to do
However i do believe you devs collaborate in this one final project. Me, as well as every member of this community can't thank you enough for your hard work! We also have many talented devs [ciaox is 13 wtf? ] who can continue development of this phone. Looking at the dev section, many new roms have come up since mik's cm7 port and each rom outperforms the other[no disrespect to mik_os, he started the cm7 era!].
I hope fserve and franciscofranco take this post in regard and work towards fixing these bugs !
Thank you.
ps. sorry for my bad english.
@ andy572
Open ur own website and tell us more! I wanna build my own ROMs but i kinda fail it... With ur small free time? Can u exxplain?? It would be grateful to others!

Uhm... Fserve has already patched his Goldenleaf Kernel with Der_Caveman + Waleedq + Sippolo's workaround to fix axes inversion and cpu spikes.
The related Fserve's kernels are Goldenleaf 111107 and 111108 (I prefer this one). Cheers!
if u didnt know, axis inversion is not possible to fix 100% because it is a hardware issue.........
there is only little you can do about it in the coding part
Yes, I know it's an hardware problem, however a workaround is better than nothing!

For me as a user, i would say THANK YOU to you guys for bringing this community alive. Thank you for your hardwork and effort that you put in. I would say that my p500 runs fastest than galaxy s stock 2.3.3. Im not joking as my phone is smooth thanks to you guys. no bugs for most of the roms i tested. I may not be a dev but i understand a lil bit. So once again thank you guys

I agree with most of what Andy said, except the part that our phone is obsolete.
I'm not a dev but I found plenty of tutorials available that explained how to successfully compile a kernel from source and extract a .config from an existing kernel. I never found a perfect how to but by meshing various methods together I was eventually successful. After reading francos github commits I discovered the toolchain he was using which was the final ingredient.
From there I used a diff tool to compare franco and Paulos sources, this is how I found the camera flicker fix. When I saw big differences in the source I googled it and/or copied it over then compiled and tested it. It took about 5 tries before I found the flicker fix. This learning process took more than just a couple of hours, it was frustrating but eventually rewarding. I still don't know anything about C or Java, so Andy is right, read/research, copy/paste, trial and error actually works.
Considering that Paulos kernel has resolved these issues and franco hasn't means you should be able to use the same technique. These bugs seem to affect gaming the most, which I don't do, so I haven't had the motivation to look into it.
franco and fserve are more than willing to include fixes. fserve posted a test kernel that included my find within a day. Within a week franco had released a new version that included it.
Open a discussion thread, I think it's a great idea! This is a developers forum after all. Thousands of noobs should be able to combine their efforts to fix these issues. Let's make it happen instead of waiting for it to happen.
Thank You !!!
Suggestion : Why dont Fserve or Franco use and edit Paulo's V6 Kernel'?
is it possible'?
OT.. .
Mistakes are the PORTALS of DISCOVERY .. .
so Cmon.. . Lets commit mistakes
Why don't ask them yourself?
Btw: PaoloM70's 2.6.35.14 V6 Kernel source:
http://www.multiupload.com/18Y712HS9G
so there is no multitouch bug and screen touch lag in paolao kernel?
@sweetnsour . I feel like Ciao X would be a good person to ask about this one. He is young so I feel will continue to work on our p500. I could be wrong. But I also think you could learn much about your goal( which by the way I think it's WONDERFUL you want to learn to develope ) I KNOW I'm not cut out for it, and so I can be honest while I am no actually HELP to this community when it comes to developing. I AM. A HUGE fan, supporter and appreciate of all the passion and art and great works that come out of this wonderful community!!! Anyway, I digress CIAO CAN YOU WEIGH IN ON THIS???

TL;DR
If you want to help me, post on MY thread about my kernel bugs. --REALLY--
(or dev something, lol)
(or donate me, i really love that )
FOR NOW, i need people to tell me which is the WORST game to play on p500 using gbs v19 kernel, AND it need to be free (or not if you give me the money).
So i can test this touchscreen bug.
Please, post, on my thread for .32 kernels and on franco thread for .35 kernel.
Thanks

Thanks for weighing in! There are two apps you can try using:
For a game, try playing glow hockey (use the two player mode). When your fingers cross, you will be controlling the opposite puck.
To see what is really going on, check out the app "multitouch vis test". You will see the bug when you cross your finger either horizontally or vertically.

EDIT: I was talking about the axis inversion bug, not the CPU lag bug. Not sure what the worst free game for that would be, but neocore would be good for testing this bug.

As we are up to kitkass 5.1 V22 now...
To keep up with the speed in which Tim does his Roms and the other developments (which are all good for TF201 Owners) and the support from other developers for Kernel creations and general Tweaks to keep this aging machine kicking.
This Thread is a place for those that are flashing and want to flash the TF300 version of Kitkiss with the Compatibility pack.
I am only doing this as there seems to be a lack of support from multi developers for this machine and so out of respect for the work that is done across the entire TF range. There should be no confusion on where to place your questions and hopefully get some answers to the versions of KATKISS, Kernels and Tweaks that others are doing to get the most of these once expensive little pieces of equipment.
Link to Tims rom Thread
DO not post in Tims TF300T thread unless it is TF300 related..respect the TF300 crew as the rom is developed and tested on their machines not the TF201,

My experience so far.. Tims 15b and Hardslogs 5.0 Kernel.
Coming from 14b in the other thread with F2F formated data I had problems flashing Tims 15b..
Had to reformat the data partition and go for a good clean wipe and everything and start fresh.
This is the 2nd day and so far its cruzing along nicely.. I need to leave the tablet and dock off the charger tonight to see how the Batt drain is..
Issues that I have experienced...
- BT - Connects once and plays but if you stop say the movie and try to go back you lose sound...
- Screen tearing - As in tapatalk while writing in to posts.. will get screen tear.. slight jitter across the screen..
- TB wont restore into the F2Fs formatted machine - on mine it always gets stuck - have oipened a ticket with TB crew and will post back if there is a workaround and or fix on this..
- Flashing a TB made backup Zip takes forever to restore, but does work.. mine is around 280 apps and I just leave it until its done.. In recovery it will tell you that it is going to reboot in 5 seconds but mine doesn't, so I leave it for a while and then do a shut down and start.. it then runs with the Blue upgrading bar and the apps are installed. Note I dont restore "Data" just the apps..
My setup
Tims Katkiss 15b
Data ext4
Hardslogs 5.0 kernel
Tweaks..

Home Launcher - Apex Pro
Apps 270 give or take a few..

I believe that the instructions are good for coming from stock, but as I was using Josh's CROMBi-kk, they were really not guiding.
This is how I installed on my TF201, coming from 4.4.4 (CROMBi-kk)
* Updated TWRP to 2.8 via "DEV branch" of @ne0zone75 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772093): I put it into USB Flash and updated within TWRP, using Install function
* Maybe that was not all needed, but I used F2FS to utilize the performance improvements mentioned by @dgcruzing. And to be on the safe side, I formatted "data" partition to F2FS, via Wipe->Advanced. Afterwards I followed guidance from @lj50036 : Go to Wipe////Format Data////Type yes. I waited all to be formatted and then checked once more that data partition was F2FS formatted.
* I copied @lj50036 KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip to home directory on my Ubuntu and pushed via the code:
adb push KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip /sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: If you are on Ubuntu, you need to start adb first as root (via sudo), then you can continue as normal user.
* Installed the ROM via Install menu of TWRP, in SDCARD, as pushed in previous step.
* Installed the Google Apps for Lollipop from this thread by @drewwalton19216801.
* When I wanted to reboot the device, TWRP asked if I wanted to install SuperSU, I did by swiping .
On CROMBi-kk I had used ext4 and my TF201 was booting real slow, around 10 minutes.
Now it boots lightning fast, less than 1 minute.
Thanks a lot to all contributors, mentioned and forgotten.
I hope that this post helps other people install this ROM.

You only need to format your Data partition to f2fs if you want to use f2fs. DO NOT format any other partitions f2fs. F2FS does provide enhanced performance overall but it is not necessary to use this ROM.
After booting into TWRP and doing a full wipe/factory reset, go back to Home, select "Wipe", "Advanced Wipe", check the Data partition ONLY, select "Repair or Change File System", "Change File System", select F2FS then format. Then reboot into TWRP and flash the ROM. It will select the proper file system upon installing.

Hey guys,
deleting 10kat seems to solve the reboot problem.
I did a factory reset and started with a fresh install of katkiss v.14b, gapps and compatibility pack. Before reboot I used file manager of trwp and deleted 10kat.
Playing around with the tablet more than an hour now, no reboot [emoji106]
No final prove but I think this is the right direction to look for...

This one is a must if you are getting reboots, I was having a few and since I have got rid of this script, it has settled.. I haven't had time to look in to the script and see if it can be tweaked for the TF201T so at this stage its better to delete it..

Bit of a shame its come to this, Josh was offering a good version with his modifications making the compatibility with our TF201's better. The f2fs thing he did was beneficial too.
Yep really sad, josh 14B version was very solid, we where getting a better compatibility for our tablets and with f2fs speed was even more noticeable, thank you Josh for your efforts and good luck with the new thread dgcruzing, this post will probably be deleted but just wanted to say something.

Josh..
yes your post is true, I and many others just want the best most stable Rom for this machine..
My advise is to step back from the forums for a while as you seem to be a little to quick to jump on people with slightly snarky comments..(not just in the TF201 forum but across others too..remember your knowledge base is deepr then a normal user, As is mine so we tend to forget that the "public, blebs and general mums and dads dont want to dig as deep as we do)
Note : This thread is out of respect for you and also Tim..
In your thread you have done a good job of supplying a modded version, I take my hat off to you..And as stated you only want people to ask questions in that thread about that modded version..also you have stated that you are stepping back to concentrate on your other work..
Which once again all I have is respect.
But its not a debatable request, you have made your thread just on your modded version and so the title should reflect this, as stands, it makes people uncomfortable asking questions about Tims version and turns the thread into a bit of a **** fight as really your opening OP is not clear on these points...
Also as I have HUGE respect for Tim and the work he has done and have been on his work from early TF101 days.. I felt that the TF201 users should also benefit from others inputs across the board and not be locked into just one thread on the available Roms that are out there..
Really I shouldn't have to answer a comment like yours and you shouldn't have posted it as really all this thread is doing is repecting your wishes..
Can't have your cake and eat it as well as they say..
OK..just for clarification...
As a community that gets both inputs and contributions by members I would expect this thread to be about the Topic in the OP..
Any user on any Lollipop ROM can feel free to ask questions and those that are playing around on this machine can give their feed back..
So keeping it on track..
I just formatted data back to F2Fs...she's a tempimental little machine this one.. Even thru google play is updating it with the backuped apps..it doesn't want to open google play.. Thus looks like I am going to have to flash gapps again..
You would think that once you format and restart..as it goes thru the new startup procedure as in asks you your Google account details that it would have everything ready to go..
But it seems there is something missing.. I do see that Google settings is not installed as such..even through its sitting in my apps section within the launcher..and looking into settings there is .
Google account manager
Google backup transport
Google contacts sync
Google one time init
Google partner setup
Google play store
Google play services
Google search
Google services frame work..
So maybe its the missing Google settings app that causes this..?
Not to mind as will flash the gapps package and let it run through again..if it settles will add this to the FAQ..
edit: a reflash of gapps and a resign in via browser seems to have sorted it..Google settings app is working..

Yes..agree...as this machine doesn't have a lot of support for it so any support is a good thing..
Only reason I have one is in picked it up for $50 and its actually feels like a nice little unit..so sometime soon in the future someone around me is going to get a good little machine that is running a stable lollipop version.. Who's it is I don't care..

All good, look forward to playing with anything that you put out..
As I am not beholding to anyone Rom or Kernel..As is most users, we are a fickle lot.
But my comments still stand, as I flash and follow a large number of developers and understand that it can get frustrating as a developer\rom supporter to field the same basic questions time and time again.
Wish you well and just think of this thread not as a competing thread but as a thread that takes a bit of stress of your reading and answering.. As I see you have spent considerable time answering posts across threads.. and would love to see you keep doing that for the benefit of all those that still hold one of these machines..

yes, there shouldn't be any animosity as stated,
its a thread to take people off the original TF300T threads and to take them away from your modded version..
too much drama going for such little return so its better to give people an out and let them banter elsewhere..
Damn, I flashed the v15 for the tf300 with the compatibility pack, and it just didn't run as well on my device as Josh's tf201 v14b. Looks like i'm SOL unless Tim's tf300 versions get more compatible somehow. .... and just when this POS was starting to show some life.

No.. dont take that personally.. it was not aimed at you..
but the tone of the thread in general the way it was going..
We can agree there is a lack of support for this device among developers..
and at this stage there is no dedicated single developer with a rom that they can call their own..
and as the TF range is not supported by updates by Asus then it stands to reason what little support in the forums will be used..
So all good..
this is a win/win situation for TF201T users..
and those that want to explore the new found freedom of flashing and making this tablet at least useable..
As I have stated before. .. I kinda like it.. and when I had it on 14b I had it stable..
its just that I am a sucker for punishment that I like to look ahead at where it could be...
and while I do that I dont want other posters giving me a hard time where to post..
thus....this thread has been created..

yes, I am still playing with it over the next few days... could even end up back on 14b..
As we know.. not all machines are the same..
my most stable was on Tims V14b with compatibility before I played around with F2Fs..
So there could be a slight difference in chips, screens that makes one work better than the other on the different versions..
Dear I ask.. if Josh wants to answer...
What actually is the difference between the two?
As for me so far I would say..
its only script tweaks to reflect that its infact a TF201T and deletion of the .int script..
As Basic Rom is same and Kernel is Same.. ?
As noted I am on the Grimlock 5.0 kernel now... so any upgrade by hardslog is going to be a bonus
Does anyone here have the necessary skills and experience to produce a compatibility pack to give a similar result to lj's 14b ROM?
From going through his thread I found the following three posts about changes he made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57235985&postcount=10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57266435&postcount=30
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57644092&postcount=103
Would the sensible first steps be to start with the Grimlock 5.0 Kernel and apply the changes like Josh did for his versions?
TF201 Reverse Axis
I got a new screen for my TF201 and it is the model that it seems all of eBay has which has the reverse axis issue. I know there's a way to fix it which would mean having to recompile the kernel with the fix in the touchscreen driver, but I was just wondering if anyone had done it for themselves and they could post their kernel or driver here. It's usable with the keyboard/mouse but I didn't get this for a small laptop.
Question: How to root on 14b with Grimlock 5 kernel
Now 14b (KatKiss Q&A TF201T ) thread is closed, so we cannot post there.
However, I have a question my configuration: 14b and dirty flashed Grimlock 5.0 kernel (I did the same @dgcruzing wrote there)
Now I lost root and don't know how to root again. I tried to use "Superuser-3.1.3__46___-efghi-signed_Final", which failed at TWRP.
My TF201 works fine, stable and fast, so I will stay at 14b+Grimlock 5, but would like to have root access to have TitaniumBackup working, for example.
Could you tell me how to root it again?
Thanks in advance,
Özgür
I got the nexus 9 when it first came out since I needed a tablet for school readings as etexts are so cheap. I was wondering since why there has been so little development for it? Its an AOSP device yet there are no cyanogen nightlies (no official ones at least). No franco kernel. TWRP doesn't even support a layout for the screen ratio. Is clockwork mod even supporting it?
There's almost no one working with it? Is there a reason for that? Does the 64 bit or nvidia soc discourage people or whats the deal? I know no one owes me anything, I am just curious why so few are interested on developing for it seeing as its a nexus.

@franciscofranco owns the Nexus 9, but he's said repeatedly that he won't be building a kernel for it, might be because he only had limited success with optimizing the Tegra 3 kernel for the Nexus 7 (2012).
TWRP not supporting the layout is just because there aren't enough 2048x1536 devices out there to justify maintaining a layout for.
The Nexus 9 is a trail-blazing device... one of the first ARM64 devices and the first one with a 64-bit OS, major under-the-hood changes (SELinux, etc) in Lollipop. Developers are probably still getting the hang of all these major changes. That and tablets just aren't as popular with developers compared to phones.
AICP is official ?
The reason cm isn't official is because there is a cherry that needs to be picked before build (as of now).
How dare you say lack of development support!!
OK OK JK did not mean to be harsh
I say its having good support
Alot better support than the T Mobile note 3
And nexus 7 2012
Also remember the butterfly effect / and telephone
If one says it does not have that good development
Then that one says it has bad development
Then another hears it and spreads the word
Then a dev hears all the news about good/bad
Then he says I better not take a chance
Then others ask the dev = butterfly effect / and telephone
Its like a self fulfilling prophecy

For a device that promises actual productive use, why would you want something that will make it slow, unreliable, and power hungry?
No franco kernel.

Nobody is stopping you from building your own kernel for it. Not like it is hard to do. What changes would you make to it?
TWRP doesn't even support a layout for the screen ratio.

Does that make it non-functional? I've said to other people for years for other devices... that if you are spending so much time in recovery that it matters how *pretty* it is, then you're doing something seriously wrong.
Is clockwork mod even supporting it?

Define "support"....
If the question is... "IS there a CWM recovery for Nexus 9?", then the answer is YES. A quick search on your favorite search engine will yield a CWM recovery in seconds. Its up to you to use it.
There's almost no one working with it? Is there a reason for that?

Maybe because nobody perceives a need for it to be worked ON. That tends to happen when devices are actually done right.

Hardly. You just need to know where to look for things that are *TRULY* exciting.
Example:
http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/12/28/ubuntu-nexus-9-tablet/
I know I can work on a kernel. I have done so in the past. I was simply wondering why people aren't working on it since its a nexus device. I would also hardly say lack of interest is because its done so well. Every other nexus has oodles of support and I wouldn't call them all poor devices in dire need of improvement. I have had plenty of phones and devices and none have heated as quickly as my nexus 9 when I browse chrome for instance.
Also I wouldn't really say cyanogenmod automatically makes something slow and power hungry. Been running nightly cm12s on my oneplus one and the battery is great and have had 0 reboots so far.

Seriously? This is what you think of development. The quality of the device isn't the question here. This is a nexus forum on XDA. People are hungry for roms, kernels and mods and the devs love making them to make an already great device better. He doesn't need your hostility for asking what hundreds of people are thinking.
sorry if this is in the wrong place, but i have recently bought the A5 (a5009) and have searched high and low on xda, but cannot find any support for the phone on this forum. As it is related to the alpha line, i was wondering if this sub-forum will be the place for news or ROMs for the A3/A5/A7? or have i missed something?
i feel its a great phone, but touchwiz is so ugly compared to stock android (in my opinion), and this could sway me away from the phone if there is no support.
i have noticed that it can be rooted already, but i dont see much point unless there are custom roms available or am i missing the point?
many thanks

If you can, return your A5 and get the alpha! . It is the value for money phone of the new series... It has 3x faster cpu and many times faster GPU and better camera than A5. :good::good::good:
To be honest, i don't think that anybody with some hardware knowledge will buy A5 or A7 at least until the price drops to adequate levels.
I don't want to turn this into a comparison thread as I just wanted to know where on xda I can find out about the new A series, but the alpha here in the UK is more expensive.
With my job, having an expensive phone is not a good idea as it can get damaged easily, that's why I went with a mid - range phone this time. I still have time to think though, so I may change the phone yet.
Has the alpha got many roms available for it?

There is ongoing CM11 port and there are 2 custom roms based on stock ROM.
And i think, that there must be separate subforum for A series...
If you root your phone you can remove samsung crap and install launchers... and you'll get whatever software experience you want, you just need to spend some time with it.
P.S. look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=1712 it seems thet there are several requests for A5 forums... Just wait (and maybe add request) and there will be forums for your beautiful device to!
thanks for the help!

Exactly! I've searched everywhere and I couldn't find good resources for the A7 or for any of the A series. Like you did, I did find a how-to-root guide but I don't see much point either without custom roms. I was actually hoping for an AOSP rom too and this is usually where I find everything I need but there's no forum yet :/

In the post above mine there is a link for a thread that users can request devices to have thier own forum. I noticed quite a few people are now asking for the A series, so cast a vote and fingers crossed we get one
Has a thread opened up yet ? i did post a request for a thread , have found sources for KK kernel at samsung and have started building the cm12 basic's device tree. would like somewhere to document it.
darkspr1te
I haven't noticed one opening up so far. There is a lot of call for one in the thread I mentioned. I'm assuming the forum would be announced if one opens up?
No idea.
congrats on the cm progress. I would love to test out what you have and having a forum would make it easier

now i just need the forum.

@darkspr1te cool, do you have the sources uploaded? I would like to help out, I have the A500F.
Keep up the good work Darkspr1te. I am a bit of a noob on this and don't understand everything you say, but I'm looking forward to a mod for the A3.
Hopefully a forum will be opened soon.

Standard kernel sources can be found at samsung open source center. I have A500H/DS , sadly the sources i pulled wont even compile yet. Been busy on projects past week so i will only get into the sources again this wkend.
Still no feedback on a forum so i might hijack a thread here for now so I can at least start sharing.

you might want to start a thread on miscellaneous android dev.
Hello all, I have been following everything about the A3 recently since a cousin of mine just bought it; it´s so sad that there isnt a forum about this device. I would be happy to help on any new brews
It would be nice if they create a Galaxy A series forum. I have an A3, its a great small phone. I use it as my side phone(got a Note 4).
Recovery
Hey guys, I just found a Recovery, but it's Chinese. Working fine on A500M. Just flash with Odin. Now we can try to port Roms from other 410 SoC based devices!
ps: turn the phone on normally, and when the screen turn on, press volume down + power + home (yup, the same buttons of the download mode)
Srry by the bad english, I'm Brazilian
I was looking to get the A5 tomorrow...but the lack of a forum and ROMs is really making me hesitate.
hello mates,
i am a big fan of aospa aka paranoid android roms,
so sad that it isnt available for kiwi yet,
i dont know y, is there some limitations with our device? or if the devs havent tried it yet??
though im not bad at coding, i have zero experience on building roms, i dont even know how to..
if not, iam requesting any dev to make a port or please build one for our device, it will be the best..:good::fingers-crossed:

I understand the question as to why it hasn't been done yet, but requesting that somebody else takes on the task of building it just because YOU want it done but dont want to learn how to port it is quite unnecessary. I hope I'm not sounding like a dck telling you this. Not my intention.

i just heard devs saying its not any easy task to build one, because theres some complexity,
so i thought may be by creating this thread, devs will discuss the problems and they can come up with the build together...
and nope bro, you didnt sound like dck .. i too hope i didnt sound like one,:good:

Hi mates,
I tried to work on AOSPA & Screw'd AOSP, Both are awesome IMO. But sadly they are purely based on AOSP, & for AOSP, source does lack some parts such as framework_av & such & pretty weird vendor tree formatting As my master @yuweng warned me & bro @gopinaidu77 shared his experiences of his trials, I found it tricky even only looking at the sources
Thus I'll be kinda dropping them for now, leave them as side projects on which I hope I will keep tinkering ( & bothering master yuweng & bro gopi when i'm stuck ) whenever I get time.
In the mean time, I'm taking little break, My job is giving me a hard time & semester finals will be ongoing from tomorrow, :crying:
I hope cm14.1 comes within January :fingers-crossed:
So we can work on more sweet treats
p.s. pray for me mates, I suck at marketing related subjects :crying:

I know it is unrelated to title of the thread but as brother @thilak devraj suggested his intention was to get the AOSPA project discussed, and i am a fellow enthusiast and want to start somewhere in exploring this project and enriching myself with the knowledge, because as far as i understand, you have helped @mumith3 with his projects, which are rock solid and super smooth, so can you point me in the correct direction, if its not too much trouble??

Mate,
First clear your conceptions of build environment, manifests & use of gits. You'll find plenty explanations in google & xda uni.
then start with setting up build machine( I'll suggest a decent config with bbqlinux installed)
then start with building CM as there is a official step by step guide in CM website for kiwi AKA Honor 5X.
when you're familiar with all... move to other roms.
we'll be always glad to help
happy learning!

well you can be able to make AOSPA on nougat now most probably. Because Alex and other developers has stopped working on Marshmallow. So the team can help in get away with the building errors. But since we are still now marshmallow they won't going to help. or Maybe they will. Can't say. At paranoid things these moves slowly moving to nougat. Well since none of the member has device in team. So we are not officially supported. The biggest reason why HONOR 5x never make it to other developers because of Kenzo was launched by Xiaomi. Far better in specifications. But we are still hopeful. Exodus will halting development too for a while. Issues with developers. The last Vanir is also has issues. Maintaining so many devices is a heck of trouble for few developers. Since Vanir is based on CM so we are far away from them.
Pure Code Aurora Caf was never possible until some developer with coding skills come. You need to code and make everything from scratch. In that case things will not coming from even CM. You have device specific device trees. It is huge pain in ass. Now as Paranoid is going to pure AOSP if i remember right. They going to use few things like cm device trees just. Else like exodus paranoid is known for writing their own apps and stuff...

Hi mates,
I tried to work on AOSPA & Screw'd AOSP, Both are awesome IMO. But sadly they are purely based on AOSP, & for AOSP, source does lack some parts such as framework_av & such & pretty weird vendor tree formatting As my master @yuweng warned me & bro @gopinaidu77 shared his experiences of his trials, I found it tricky even only looking at the sources
Thus I'll be kinda dropping them for now, leave them as side projects on which I hope I will keep tinkering ( & bothering master yuweng & bro gopi when i'm stuck ) whenever I get time.
In the mean time, I'm taking little break, My job is giving me a hard time & semester finals will be ongoing from tomorrow, :crying:
I hope cm14.1 comes within January :fingers-crossed:
So we can work on more sweet treats
p.s. pray for me mates, I suck at marketing related subjects :crying:

I'm really digging the dev community here. Shouts out to crpalmer jsbeyond gopi mumith and everybody else im forgetting. And just remember, be always grateful for their work. We could have ended up with no development if we chose a different phone. For example my last phone the HTC desire 626s. Go find the desire 626 forum on XDA to see what I mean. Development just doesn't always happen. Which is why when I see somebody request certain ROMs it irks me a little
yes , i feel lucky to have those devs, but im sad we alredy lost many of them..
