Hi,dont understand the situation about developing for our Rosy - why Juanan dont post here his ROM´s directly himself?I want support this guy or other developers too,to get more ROMs or maybe better one of them very stable
I know,we dont have 8.1 source code for Rosy yet ,so its difficult to port or develop time is needed and time is money ...
yeah it would be awesome and i would donate if i could but right now i'm very broke and can't do that but atleast i can support with words because we really need developers to help on our redmi 5 roms and especially juanan who would be great if he directly would post and help us with bug fixes of the treble roms and other roms since he is a really great developer
I will agree ... he is a very good person and needs help
i handle juanans roms on xda, since we spoke and he sayd that xda is too much for him, with developing and his life i donated to juanan too , so everyone feel free to do the same, since everytime i send him money he was very eager to do more on developing,.. and juanan is a good person too .
Dont understand why or what is hard for him to post his ROMs on XDA too if he is posting it on Telegram /which I find more messy if You want find something from past - everyone there want say something .../ its shame if his hard work is getting lost there,XDA has bigger crowd than Telegram group with around 950 R5 owners
If You spoke with him,tell him that some of us,wants to know how to donate him
thread closed,
Soliciting donations is not allowed. If members decided to donate it should only be because they like the work of the developer and not in search of a new device.
Thank you for your understanding.

It seems like a Rom comes out one week just to be superseded by another Rom the next week! Is it me or is this mainly done by the compilers to get donations
Seems to be ramping up since the GN2 had released. We need quality, not quantity...

Reported to mods. this is XDA, which is about development. Don't like it, don't come here.
HARD CLOSED
Sir, since you posted, I will address this and I hope it is understood.
First development is just that...and that is what is going here, by the Developers/Themer and ROM makers around here, they are developing and working on their ROMs tweaking/mod'ing/ making them as stable as possible...btw you should understand that work done here, is their work (ROMs), to which they are kind enough to provide/share with all on this Developers Site...called XDA. All free there is no charge, yes donations are done but they are just that donations.
And the reason you see so many updates, that is called>>development; to say you are tired of seeing ROMs, WOW sir, I would be saying Thank You to the RDs/RTs and RCs and ROM cookers/tweakers for taking the time and seeing what users are providing to help in their work. To which we all benefit from...
If you find a ROM that works for you fine, use it do what you want, since it was freely given/provide again just say Thank You.
This reply was not meant to put you on blast...so to speak, but I hope I brought a better understanding for you.
Sir, please do not open these type threads, Thank You and as stated above in red...
Dear Yasir, Atis112, Prototype-U, ckpv5, MaartenXDA, xpirt, The Android Manual and fellow devs,
I have downloaded all your ROMs and installed them faithfully on my phone. However I must express my utter disappointment that these ROMs aren't running Key Lime Pie. Why are you so lazy?
Also, my phone does not turn into an umbrella when it's raining. WTF is this? How can you ignore such basic stuff? It doesn't walk my dog, or chop my vegetables. I wanted to use my phone as a lightsaber to impress all my friends, but can I do this with your ROMS? No!
You use excuses like: "We don't have kernel sources from HTC", and manage to give us a measly 4.2.2 ROM / Sense 5 themed ROM / Sense 4+ Full / CM 10.1 instead!? Really it's just that you are not listening to us, your non-paying customers. Why should we donate to you or support your work when we can't even play the latest PS4 / Xbox One games on our Desire X. Is that too much to ask?
So, please get with the program, and make us some awesome ROMs with no new sources and nothing but endless hours of hacking and slashing at code to work with. We promise to do nothing but moan at you and suggest how you should spend your volunteer time and efforts.
Sincerely,
A random noob

Sense 5 ROM...? Where!?
Haha. Nice one OP. A very unique way of thanking.
Your welcome. I hope we will get more devs with time and then you might get more distractions, like fully working cmx and bug free sense 5.
And I would include even more people like maartenxda, xpirt, TAM, who are making each day better than last.

OP - very well said mate, most of us are acting this way and want everything not for today, not for tomorrow but for yesterday.
Most members are asking for ETAs everyday, when its been said many times not to do so, many members are moaning about non working stuff, without donating, without thinking that this is what Development means - stuff being fixed needs time, time which our not many, but working devs need to spend for us, not for their private life.
So i agree with you and i wish all of us to be more friendly and more patient with the development and developers we have here.
Thanks for this one. You should become a news writer on XDA Portal creating an article about the missing kernel sources for JB...

There's a serious point to this post, which is that there are people who are making attacks against devs, criticising people's efforts while having made no contributions themselves, and generally going against the spirit of XDA (that is to foster a community of people committed to learning and developing together in an atmosphere of mutual respect and courtesy). So stop with the moaning and the whinging. the ad hominem attacks, and the armchair developer schtick. Give developers the respect they deserve. They volunteer their time and energy on the things they choose to. They don't owe us anything.

I agree with you. All people who don't like dev's work can learn and make by themeselves.
I respect all dev's work like @neXus PRIME one because he made all recoveries for us and we have to be grateful to him.

Why the hell aren't you a news writer? Seriously, I have seen some of your posts - like the ROM reviews - and they're post by post AWESOME. It'd be great if the rest of the forum could join the happiness of reading your posts!

Ikr, his use of language is perfect for articles and reviews, you should ask for a position at xda portal if that's possible

some of the names mentioned above arent even devs :S
^
exactly why this thread was made, they may not be "devs" but they are still dedicating plenty of personal time to you and all others here, they made things noone else would do and let everyone to benefit from it, further development included, they are pushing desire x in others eyes up, they should be thanked, not labeled as "not dev, pfff"...
Exactly, lack of respect, they may not be a developer but sure they release amazing modded Roms.
Deal with it fella.

Help wanted:
Over the last few weeks we have been working feverishly at trying to make the switch from lollipop to Marshmallow. In addition, we have been trying to switch source from CM to Aosp. This has been a daunting task. We are working with a limited staff and are finding it to be a bit overwhelming. So why am I telling you this? Well frankly we have seen some great community builds of non supported devices being posted from all over the world. There are some talented folks porting our rom. Perhaps some of those folks may be willing to use their talents to help our cause? In the forums, we have seen some talented helpful users contributing to make OctOs better. Must be able and willing to develop and build for any/all devices we support. Don't worry about not having the device, we have plenty of awesome testers that will attempt to break whatever you throw at them lol. Also you must have your own build environment and stable internet. Serious inquiries only and please email us at [email protected].
Hey guys, we're looking for a jflteatt tester for 6.0MM . If anyone is interested email us at [email protected]. I'll get back to you asap as I'll be working today, or I'll have one of our devs respond if I can't. Serious inquiries only, must be willing to test builds as we post them & know how to restore your device & use hangouts. (Very rare you'll need to restore) but its a must you know how. We won't release or continue to build jflteatt w/o at least 1 tester. 2 would great. Thanks again. Team OctOS ?
Hi guys! How are u opt brothers?
As title says I'd like to ear ur opinion on what is happening on modders comunity around opt, I'll try to say my ideas but please... Excuse my English I won't post in Italian just because translators dsnt make good work with my language hehe
I opened this post because I really don't understand what's happening and what will happen to us, I came from just 2 other phones, HTC hd2 and galaxy s4,both kept for 3 years
I know those were phones who had a big success in therm of selling numbers and had a big, very big, work here on xda since the firsts days, many kernels many roms, many new ideas on add-ons and so on
I don't see the same enthusiasm here in opt section, there are various very good modders, just thinking about boeffla (great work bro!) and ak who sold his opt and won't continue his awesome work.
I think we are paying the lack of big sells, they opened very soon the free purchase without invites I really hope this will change something but there are too many competitors right now
I have to say the few roms that still recives updates are awesome, with some problems I know... But I see the work behind the scenes and it's great, also see some modders working on cm13 and his recovery, but lack of cm kernels is heavy and I don't know if, with marshmallow, there will be a revamp on comunity (maybe all coders are just waiting for M to start working)
Those are my ideas, I'd really like to see ur opinions and maybe tell me I'm completely wrong, I really hope it!! Hehehe
Toward all the user who had used, still uses, and will use the G530x variant.
I, on behalf of many developers who had contributed their efforts toward our phone, has spent times to think about this before we saying. Developers has tried their best to bring our phone to the glory that it used to be, developing our phone from Samsung's last update (Lollipop) to now smooth and nearly stable Oreo. But time went on, and people had to change. So do phones, too. Our developers are now busying with many things in their life, and many can't accept the fact to use an old and slow phone in the upcoming months. Incentive to developing new things for our phone has gone down so much. This is the fact that so many people between us has known about for too long, but can't accept. But now, it's time to put it down and say it clear:
THIS PHONE IS DEAD NOW. THERE WILL BE LESS UPDATES TOWARD THE PHONE AFTER THIS TIME
I know for some of you, it's hard to swallow when you heard this. But guys, it's time to move on.
Farewell,
The Smartphone's Grim Reaper
P.S: Toward new developers who has the incentive to push this phone to the limit, I would wish you guys the best. And never lose the dreams.
This is confirmed.
All developers, admins and most of users at Grand Prime's International Telegram Group already have a new phone.
Developers :
- @Jovic77 maybe will get his P9 way sooner than you guys thought. ( confirmed at TG group )
- @unknown doesn't have VPS to use right now and already moved on with his Xiaomi Redmi Note 5
- @ducphan397 is also out of VPS to use and planning to buy a new device next year.
- Many TW ROM developers and contributors. ( It's hard to me to remember all of them, but if you want to be mentioned, please PM me and i'll edit my post )
Huge Contributed Users :
- @OreoLasagne already ditched his GP and moved on with his brand new J6 2018
- @D.R-Ult.Googler ( Yup, that's me, been here helping since 2015, and in Telegram, you may know me as Dante Enoshima, one of the admins ) also moved on with J7 Prime ( but i'll keep my Grand Prime for now ).
Past devs and important contributors :
- He was known as Sassy at TG ( he helped the group a lot as an admin, heck, he even made a custom bot just for the Grand Prime group ) but now he moved on with ( last known device ) his S7
- @Carlos Arriaga. He brought us many, many MM roms. He's also made a custom kernel, Explosion kernel. But now he moved on with his Xiaomi
- @kn06497. Brought us some real nice L and M roms. But now, he's disappeared. ( Don't know what's he doing now )
- @Has.007. First, he brought us J5 ROM, then some M roms, then tons of N ROMs. He's also a real nice guy, both here and at the Telegram group. But now he's gone becuase of his studies + moved on with his new Samsung phone ( i know it's a J series, but i forgot which one )
And many, many contributing users who helped us with feedback, logs, etc etc also already moved on.
For those who still using GP, thank you for staying with us for this long :') .
And @vince2678, thank you. Thank you for all of your time and effort to keep this phone alive. If you still want to continue devving for this device, i'll say it again, and this time on the behalf on the entire Grand Prime community : Thank you. But if you want to quit, it's alright. We understand. If you do leave, Good luck with your future.
Thank you for reading both OP and this' very, very long post.

I'm mentioning more!
People Behind Gracified Hybrid/Prime/Miix:
@Lumière896 for those awesome TouchWiz ROMs, and being the main mastermind of Galaxy On7 Hybrid (Miix's base since the beginning).
@asarre. You just gave me the inspiration to make Miix. Your ROMs just scream amazing. If not for you, I wouldn't even thought of making a Samsung Experience-styled ROM.
@abooooood for the awesome testing every ROM here and being with me fixing bugs since the beginning. Woah, that was a year.
@mdmaher. Even though we haven't made Miix stable for the FZ ?, it was still an awesome journey.
@aurelio.9851 for awesome FZ testing.
@L3R0N for maintaining the G530T/T1/W, even for a short time.
@yash manwani for a lot of mods, starting Prime's AddONs to Miix's Mx+ Addons.
@OreoLasagne. My self-proclaimed number 1 fan of Miix. (xD) Best wishes with your new phone!
More People:
@Has.007. If it wasn't for your great work with porting Nameless J5, Miix wouldn't have been as stable as it is now.
https://t.me/imspodernamwtf those SystemUI and InCallUI mods are just purely awesome.
@Nikhilkumar038. I know you don't have this device, but thank you so much for being the "second member" of HybridTeam. You deserve this.
And to all people who have tested, used, and loved Miix (and all of my works), thank you.
I'll see 'ya on the Huawei Y6 (2018) forums! Soon.
Spread the love of devving!
#ForTheLoveOfDevving
Thanks to all the devs.
I want to thank to every developer who spent time doing builds and ROMs for this great device, i have tested so many ROMs in my Grand Prime and it's clear that, you guys put a lot of effort making every build, every new function, new characteristics, themes, recovery, kernels, and a lot of more stuff done in order to keep our device with the lastest advantages on Android apps and system. When i got my Grand Prime i didn't think it was going to have so many many Android ROMs and development (6.0 6.0.1 7.1.2 8.1.0), but when i started browsing on my own and finding forums like this one (i just registered my account a few days ago, i regret not have it done before) i discovered a new world full of new things for this phone.
Thanks, thanks to all of you.
(I pressed the "thanks" button on every thread too )
By now i'll keep my Grand Prime [SM-G530M fortunalteub] Running Android 8 (by vince2678) thanks to you too!
