Hello all
I have spent much time recently attempting to modify the zImage included with the Fascinate to include a working recovery image for us to use. However without source code this an extremely difficult (if not possible) goal to achieve.
I am requesting that anyone who owns this device please request the kernel source code from Samsung, so that we may be able to fully utilize our devices. Even if you do not know anything about coding or have any personal use for this source code, it is your right to request it as an owner of the device, and this code will help us all immensely once it is in the right hands.
Requests for source code can be filed on Samsung's website at : opensource . samsung.com/ (remove the extra spaces, apparently I can't post links yet)
Click on the mail icon at the top to submit your request.
Thank you for your assistance.
Requesting right now. Thanks for what your doing! Any updates since last night?
i just finished sending one in

You just want everything handed to you, don't you? Quit being so lazy and do some actual work.
But seriously everyone, please take the time to fill out the request. The sooner we get the source, the quicker we'll see some ROMs.

This guy again, huh
Seriously, thank you to anyone who fills out the request. Remember, as an owner of the device it is your right to have access to the kernel source code, and it takes less than 2 minutes to fill out the request form. Tell your friends!

There's the direct url for the lazy.
Thanks for direct link. Filled one out through my phone. Made it sound pretty formal lol. Let's hope we get the ball rolling soon, starting to miss all the active development on the older phones.
Submitted a request.

Once we get source we will be able to get a working recovery, then the floodgates will be open. My personal mission is to get AOSP/CM on the phone immediately after that happens, can't stand the TouchWiz and I intend to destroy it!!
Submitted a request. Only way I'll be buying this phone is if I can eliminate all Verizon/Samsung UI/apps. Even a vanilla ROM will do over the TouchWiz crap.
I am a little confused. What source code are you requesting?
If you go to h**p://opensource.samsung.com/, click on 'Mobile' at the top, then Ctrl-F for "i9000", you can find (what looks like) a zip containing both the kernel image and files you can plop in an aosp tree in order to build roms for the Galaxy S.
Maybe you guys are talking about source specifically for Fascinate?

Yes, we are requesting the source for the fascinate. As the i9000 is a completely different device, and we have the sch-i500

Okay, thanks. That clears it up.
So I guess Samsung is currently in violation of the GPL, then? (And probably other licenses).

Well i am sure they will release the source, its just taking them longer than i would like. They released the source for the Epic about 3 days after the hardware was released, and we are at about a week now.
Yeah, they'll post the code soon, they're just taking their sweet time about it.
Source code released! Thanks guys!

Not sure yet. We've confirmed they've had at least two different files for download since last night. The original one wasn't' working. I'm at work, so can't tell you much about the second (latest) one.
Already everybody... it's time for Operation Pepperoni! The Linux kernel is open source and if you want to see some cool stuff coming out for your Photon 4G, we need to get Motorola to give us their source code - as is legally required by the GPL! You can start by posting on the discussion boards over at Sourceforge for the Atrix (the Photon's "cousin") asking for the source for the Photon 4G's GNU GPL components!
Link: http://sourceforge.net/motorola/atrix/discussion/
LET'S GET THAT SOURCE!
I am confused on where to start to request the kernel source.
Good idea, I also dropped by motorola's support forums and requested that they update their project list on opensource.motorola.com and release the source code. They'll probably lock the thread.

For now just post in the Atrix forums that I linked to in the original post.
don't worry I bumped the thread that was there, unless you wanted me to just make a new thread.
Just posted.
Can't wait to get my hands on this thing
brianez21 and timtim, thanks for backing me up on that motorola forum. I'm surprised they didn't lock it by now.
I just want to remind everyone to keep the pressure on Motorola to release their sourcecode. The sooner we get that the more likely we fix our 4g issue with the bootloader. So far the forum manager says that he is in direct contact with the devs who are working on the release right now. Lets, as a community, keep on them to hold to their promise. Don't be mean or irate. Simply let them know that this is important to you. --> https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/55574
Keep your eyes here for the source code. Right now you'll get a 403 error but once they post the code it'll probably be at this link: https://sourceforge.net/motorola/photon4g/home/Home/

It is requesting that you log in to verify that you are authorized to access that page. Once you login that link will say 403 Forbidden. Whereas any other link you make up will simply say 404.
Samsung released the ICS kernel sources for the euro version N7000 2 days ago, just go here and search for "n7000"
Nothing for our i717 yet. There is an "Inquiry" link on the right of every file, allowing to request sources for a device. So, my question is - is it allowed/legal to request release of the ICS sources, given the fact ICS for our phone still hasn't been officially released?
Doesn't hurt to try. Although if I were them, I'd be asking...who are you to ask?
My guess is that once the official ICS OTA is out from at&t, they'll release the sources to the public.

The beauty of GPL is that there is no criteria/requirements for any credentials. Anyone is allowed to ask for a source code of a software released under GPL, and the developer must provide it, no questions asked.
It's allowed..
Fat chance them actually giving it to you, the gpl does not apply to software that has not been released to the public...
but you're allowed to ask, not like the feds are gonna raid your bedroom from a simple question.
And once it's released, you don't have to ask, it's just posted for all to download.
Word son. lol but asking for source early is probobly even more of a joke to sammy then asking for leak
I am surprised that you missed that or maybe I missed it here
I dirtyflashed it over a CM13 and it seems to work
testing now
here are the roms/links
on german x820 forum its clear #1
http://download.mokeedev.com/?device=le_x2
dont forget its without gapps so flash add them when you like google stuff
Se didnt miss it but thanks anyway. That ROM was deleted from xda due to the fact that some users that dont do anything else but complaining, and attacking the dev. The dev from mokee hás informed that hes not posting anymore ROMs in xda. Nougat included
What is the dif btw release n nightlies

Hello. You forgot to tell the full truth. The case is the dev was asked to release sources and he refused.

Incorrect. People were asking for the Device Tree used to build Mokee, which wasn't and still hasn't been provided. XDA isn't a place for you to download roms, it's a developer community. Pretty sure the device tree would have been converted from one that was available (Probably OP3) and not sharing it is disrespectful to every developer who has worked on it previously.
https://github.com/MoKee/android_device_letv_le_x2 is empty.

First of all: THANKS for your ROMs. Second: i would really consider publishing the device tree, because there might be a few others who would like to contribute.
Although the Max 2 is a rather "specific" smartphone, which - outside of India and China - nobody really considers buying.

I know is difficult to you to understand this. There must be a reason why you don't want to provide your sources.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3494247
ffboy doesn't own anybody anything. He releases his ROM's for free, he doesn't force you to use them. Many rom developers don't release their source code/device trees, one reason is that people could take there hard work getting everything to work and use to build their own ROM's and get donations from them without doing any hard work themselves. Even my grandma can build a ROM when eveyrthing is handed to her. One example is the very resepected developer arter97 who didn't release cyanogenmod device trees for s6 for a while when he was developing for s6. Get off ffboy's case, he is a developer and doesn't deserve this, if there was a downvote in xda I would downvote the haters. You've already been warned by the mods yet you still pour hate on to the dev.
Edit: I agree with ffboy we should continue petitioning LeEco for device trees.
@whymoo
I am not arter97, i don't care what he does and i don't accept donations.
ffboy released his rom under mokee s name who they aclame to be "open source". Also i except to see the whole source and not part of it.
If ffboy doesn't like this he could publice his rom to a hoster like "mega"
ffboy and not me already copied code and signed the same code as his own and don't gave proper credit.
We are a big community and we help each other. We share our knowledge and don't hide it. I and other people don't like to reinvend the wheel again. This is a waste of precius time who lot of us they don't have. Yes! we can contribute, merge bugs and maybe compile other roms and yes, ffboy must accept, that maybe me or others wanna use his device tree or some other code. BUT we don't forget to give credits.
Btw i don't be warned and i don't see a reason why should be.
It's CM or stock based?
ir work?

first i opensourced kernel soucre as GPL requirement,but device tree was not GPL and you do not have the right to force me do things i dont like.
2nd i know i made mistakes on kernel source for commit authorship brcause i am not good at git tools but i have already corrected them.
i dont care you like me and my rom or not
i have released all source of mi max on my github
the only reason i dont release max2 device tree is,
Some people here is just do nothing but PUSHING AND ATTACKING me because they want my device tree to build there roms to gain Respect and donations i think.they are so rude and ridiculous
when i said "No plan to release kernel source RECENTLY" and released a few days later,they don't care and start attacking and pushing
i also dont warned by forum moderatoer by not released device tree
So ban me out of this forum if you can

I don't care if you like ne or not either. I gave you also a like. I don't care either to gain Respect or earn money through donations.
You are the only one here who try to gain respect or donations but your behavior shows me clearly that you are reacting like a little defiant child who felt driven into a corner.
I made a Pointment about you and you have to accept it.

I'd be interested in the device tree so I could play around building with some custom toolchains. All my phones run ROM's I've compiled myself but I've never shared them with anybody here as they aren't my work.

I think you misunderstand. Building ROMs with custom toolchains and then posting them here would be passing off the work of others as my own, which is not on. I'm not making any source code changes.

That's a great news... I am eager to buy this device as I am looking for new phone for replacement of my old Redmi note 3.... One question, did we get stock rom images to flash via fast boot cause if I want flash stock rom at any point of time? A small request if that's possible..

I understand that... But look at one plus devices for example...They release source code on first day itself... In just 3-4 days , there will be rooting guides , twrp etc will happen ... after 10 days there will be custom roms and mods etc... Just example, not exact fact... But here everyone is taking precautions due to last failure of "open source" thing.. that's why I am too taking slow steps to buy... This time it will be different! I hope so that!
Cause I am learning c and c++ and soon i also wanna start some development as hobby and this device is best in terms of everything , but I have to sell other two old devices which I was hoping for development experiment cause 30k rs ( in india ) is costly for me as student. I was gonna buy mi a1 which is in my budget but then xiaomi done "great job" by releasing nougat kernel source code after 4 months and when device on Oreo!! Let's see how development will kick start here...
You said it yourself. It's a hobby. Just wait and you will see that a lot of stuff will come. Be patience
