[Q] Would someone do Android L porting? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
That's my first tread on xda.
The question is "Would someone do Android L potring??" Obviusly on our GT-i9300.
I'm not telling that i want a porting now but i'm afraid that this device will die after the 5.0 update.
So you good developers would you do the android 5.0 porting For us?
Bye.

Android L is still not yet fully developed by Google and thus it is a developer preview and is not suitable to be a daily driver rom. Maybe try asking after Google release Android L as an official update.

well ports are already happening for some devices(n7 2k12 for instance)
but i doubt it will for s3, in fact i doubt we will even receive L (unofficialy)
it tooks months to get fully hw support in Kk thanks to closed source drivers
it took almost a year to fully fix the áudio driver (this one we already have a open source version of it)
and so on. also we are running 4.1+ on a "hacky" way (4.1 was meant for 3.1+ kernel, we have 3.0.101)
yet still, because of drivers we can´t achieve full speed(animations are quite bad) on custom roms, and thats with roms with same version as of Samsung).
but if we get, will be in october when the full release comes

The Android L preview image is not complete and is intended for devs for Nexus devices. A lot of things are missing.
We will have to wait till later this year for a port (if someone does it).

Request to upgrade ICS (Android 4.0) for Gen 8

Recently more and more Android developer start to developping and propose to upgrade their OS from old Froyo (Android 2.2/2.3 ) to Android 4.0 (ICS)system,even though low level 600MHz CPU/256Mb RAM Android phone
(ex. Huawei U8150 ) :
Refer to beneath thread of their activities:
1. Port ICS transition animations on EVERY ROM & EVERY PHONE Thread
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342117 )
2. [Huawei U8150] Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP Alpha 3 WIFI+SD WORKS
: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366404
I hope someone of our Archos developer also can consider to develop Android 4.0 (ICS)system for Gen 8 ASAP
well the answer is easy:
and if u would have spend some time in this forum - reading - u would have it already...
Atm we got 3 main developers for our archos devices: sauron/bubu/divx
Since sauron will stick to his UD for a while as it seems hes out of the race atm
The other 2 are wokring on CM7 (-> Ginger) atm.
Even they are doing a great job we still dont have a fully bug free and installable CM7 yet...
CM9 (-> ICS) is in a very early development stage (as u already can see in any other android forum here - mostly alpha builds with barely functionality) so it's kinda meanless to switch over to it atm - since we dont have enough developers for it.
Once CM7 is fully working I think bubu/divx will head on to CM9 ofc (if they still own an archos then )
Even I know u just had good intensions - I think those [Request] threads are meanless most time - as they won't "help" anyone sadly.
Imho: if u want to contribute and take the development a step further or want to help them - join the Cyanogen Bull RC development discussions and help out with bug-reports or anything else u can do...

Hello FrEcP:
Thanks for your update informations.
Sorry!I do not know how to develope Linux or Android OS and just a Android system user
However I always keep watch the new OS improvement and contribute my testing result to developer all the time and wish Archos Gen8 could be better
performace than before!!
ICS Port to our gn8 started!
letama, made an alpha version of an ICS Port for our devices
Look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404492
Currently the only thing that seems to run is the touchscreen (Actually the launcher is pretty smooth)! And it's booting of course
nice to see progresses in ics development for ics!!

That's great @AKA_Noodle. I used to own the Galaxy i9003 and have experience in testing ROMs, customizing, boat ware removal etc. for 10 months. I have just bought a Desire V yesterday and this is my first HTC. I am getting to know the difference.
I have followed your post and am going to ROOT the phone in a couple of days. I am giving my stock 7 days for the just in case hardware issues with my handset. Post that I will unlock the bootloader and free my device. I am ready for testing and development.
And by the way,
Congratulations to all. We finally have a dedicated thread for our phone.
Thanks @AKA_Noodle, i use the European Rom, great
Guys,
I don't own this device, but I'm interested in developing for it.
I believe I could try to port a ROM or two from the desire X to this device, if anyone would test it.
The only thing I need to know is: do you guys have android 4.0.4 or 4.0.3?

4.0.3

Thanks. I hope that little difference doesn't affect the ROM.
I don't have time in this week, but I'll try to get you guys a ROM next week.

I'm interested with HTC Desire V Rom Development. And I will first make CM10, then MIUI, etc. I'm following the tutorials at XDA.
Finally i have device tree ready for HTC DESIRE V The next task is to download sources for CM9 ( takes a hell lot of time :/ ) and start working on it, hopefully with community's help, it will be completed
i will be uploading the device tree soon, so anyone can help me building it..
I'm waiting for that CM9, because all other ROMs I tried are disappointing. I posted here earlier a version for Baidu ROM but turns out that was also buggish.
So, please someone make a Cyanogenmod for this phone.
yeah... please develop a CM9/10 version for this dual sim phone ///
Until today, i still can't find an easy way to root my device. LOL!

I did some snooping - it turns out that it's buggish because we are using the nightly builds version of the Baidu . The official version is V4:

I know, but my version was from that stable one, which is based on version 27. Still it had some "things" because for Baidu stable not means final, it's a project in developement. I guess, if no one develop a CM for our device we'll have to wait for some final Baidu.
One other thing is that they develop Baidu to integrate with their service (let's not forget that Baidu is Google for China), and it will be more suitable to users from China .
Too bad that HTC couldn't release a ROM without bugs. Baidu, even in beta, didn't restart my phone randomly like HTC rom did (stock version too), and I have a friend with Wildfire stock, unrooted, untouched which do the same. Maybe it is something with HTC rom platform, I don't know.
I don't think it is hardware, because if it was, Baidu would restart too.
For developement
I just finished to try every single open source of android to make a new build for this phone and my conclusion is not good.
HTC announced that this phone will not get JellyBean - understandable 1 single core processor, 512 MB Ram, not enough.
That will be a huge obstacle in order to get Paranoid, PAC or Slimbean to this phone - they mentain those sources now only for jellybean. Or for jellybean, we need a new kernel to support that. And even so, we can not know if it will work - poor phone specs.
Cyanogenmod doesn't support DualSim, and I bought this phone for that function only.
MIUI doesn't support DualSim either - I know there are a lot of dualsim phones with MIUI, but these are ported not compiled from source - and MIUI source isn't public (what they have on github is a patch tool, wich doesn't work very well, especially with HTC phones which are more difficult).
LewaOS has a source open on github, but is only for Gingerbread - if they upgrade this it will be our best alternative, because LewaOS is a very stable, fast and reliable ROM, and works well even in low specs phones. Baidu ROM seems to be at the begining some port of LewaOS (I still found some mediatek references in baidu, and mediatek is the main processor for Lewa).
So, we're stuck with Sense...

None, it's a hardware issue. I took it to a service shop and then I sold it and never bought a HTC again.

[Q] New to rooting: Vanilla Android?

So I'm very new to rooting devices. I have a t mobile galaxy s5, and I want to run vanilla android on it. Preferably, I would also like to be able to download the developer version of android L, and then the full version when it releases straight from google. I have a guide to auto root this phone. I want to be able to back it up so I can reload touchwiz if something goes wrong. I may have to turn this phone into t mobile at some point, so this is crucial. I also would like to carry over my phones contacts with me into the vanilla build. Can anyone assist me? Sorry for my ignorance; I'm trying to learn. Thanks for your time.
I think you're out of your league.. for this to happen, you would need to get the Google source for android l then you would need the kernel source for android l for our devices (which doesn't exist, yet). I think if you really want android l you would need a Google device. You could also wait till cyanogen comes out with an android l version.

Wow if we could do this it would be amazing. Really. Sadly we can't do anything close to this...sorry to dissapoint you.

[Q] Android L Preview boot.img

Note: This is my first time trying to port or build a ROM for my phone, so I apologize if this is a stupid question.
I want to try to port the preview from the Nexus 4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/lpv-79-mako-port-beta-t2807446) and I am trying to achieve this by using defcondev's tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442593).
The third step of the process is to swap out the N4 boot.img with an OG boot.img. Would I be able to use a KitKat boot.img or would it have to be specifically designed for the L preview? If it has to be specifically built for L how would I be able to obtain it?
I'm just an everyday Joe with absolutely no programming knowledge trying to port L to my phone.
BTW I haven't seen anything about L for this phone, is no one else as excited for L as I am?
Thanks in advance!

I may be wrong dut heard that since 4.4+ appears it's much harder to port roms from nexus 4 without major changes, almost impossible...

Well I guess the hard working devs will port it over soon enough, KitKat until then.
At least porting kitkat will be a great progress, and then may be possible L porting

Andoid L

Anybody can port android L???
PM me too...! If you got it!![emoji12]
Prime
I don't think any dev will port the preview version to the HOX+. You have to wait at least until google releases the final version of Android L (or however it will be named then).
I think we have to wait until next year. There are only a view devs for our HOX+. I'm happy to use Android 4.4
Not yet... I think I'll just wait for the CM 12, carbon or beanstock ... There're still hopes.
Dadgum! You guys are talking about Android L.. Us AT&T owners are still stuck on 4.2.2.. Lloir barely got the 4.3.1 to remotely work.. so I am envious of you International One X+ owners..
