To moderators
First of all I am sorry for creating this thread here which should be in general section. But as most of the people visit development section so I just want that people should notice this thread and give their valuable opinion. When time will come I will request to move this thread to general section
To all xda mi3/mi4 users
My name is Vishal. I am using mi3 since almost 1 year. After sources released by xiaomi the development of custom roms and kernels was really superb. Even still our developers like audihaudi, bitti and many others working really hard to give bugless roms to us. But after recently developer like varun.chitre, jackeagle and gnome left the development. Look like we need a very expert helping hand to deal with very core problems/bugs that we are facing right now and to support our device's development for a long time with best updates. We all agree that camera quality of mi3 on custom roms is below average. Also bugs like SOD after call, no sim bug are very annoying issue that we are dealing right now.
So I contacted a developer dhiru1602[/] who has a very good experience with kernel as well cm rom development especially with CM sources and CM based rom. Also he is official maintainer and developer of nameless rom for many devices which are
Samsung galaxy s3
Samsung galaxy note 2
Nexus 4
Galaxy SL i9003
Optimus L9
Optimus P760
Optimus P765
Optimus P768
Optimus P769
Dhiru1602 developer's profile
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2875964
And his work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=379647111
Only problem is that he don't have mi3 or mi4 device. Without device fixing critical bugs in device tree and keep on providing bugless updates is a critical task for any developer. So if we donate enough amount to him so that he can buy a mi3 or mi4 phone then that will going to be a big advantage for developement of our phone.
So I want to know how many people are really willing to donate surely so that we can donate a phone to him?? It will help me to judge the response and to initiate the things later.
Thank You,
Vishal

Devs needed, for porting ics4.0 to samsung galaxy fit s5670

Hi everyone,
I am a galaxy fit s5670 user, running android 2.3.4
Unfortunately, samsung won't be officially releasing ics for my device...
But the whole of galaxy fit users on xda are really hoping that some devs would try and port this for our device...we had personally contacted a lot of devs for this, but none seem to be up for the challenge...
Another phone, samsung galaxy min s5570, which comes really close to our device in terms of hardware has devs attempting it, but the few devs we have for our device are busy due to their own reasons...
So, I want to ask all the knowledgeable devs out there, can you PLEASE port this for our device???
You will also find many testers for your alpha and beta version of the rom, who would readily take the risk, and give you feedback/bug reports also...
Also, even if you can just port some other roms, that would also be appreciated...
Head on over to the device forum and make an announcement, if you are willing to attempt this poet!!!
Help in making android an enjoyable experience for all...merry christmas, in advance

Sorry didn't know about that...thought that it should come under software development coz we needed devs...so thank you for moving it to the correct sub-forum...
Umm, on a different note, are you a dev???
And, ppl have started trying to port ics to my device...but still others are encouraged to make/port roms for this device...
m with you
Just look at the overwhelming positive response that this thread has received so far...

Although I don't have an android phone

Hi everybody,
From the title it is obvious that I don't have android phone but I am big fan of Android:good: and i am planning to be buy one.
I am newly member of this great forum and I have noticed the great work of the Developers and who they dedicate in helping others even the newbies :highfive: without Forcing anybody to pay (just donate if you want)
I opened this thread Just to say Thank you to every developer and anyone helps others I wish that I could donate for you but still paypal service not available yet in my country so Thanks is the least thing that i should do.
I hope that I didn't bother anybody.
IBTL. There's a thread in the Off-Topic section to introduce yourself to everyone. Welcome to the site.

Custom ROMs for A-2016 series

Hi. As you can see, ROM developers here don`t really pay attention to making any custom ROMs for our beloved A310, A510 and A710-s. So i have made a request on Cyanogenmod Forums for any developers there to see and work on the project! It`d be nice if you showed yourselves there too so the developers don`t think A-2016 series phones aren`t mainstream and aren`t worth working on. Here is the request thread link, so go there, reply or something, just show yourselves!
https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/129136-request-cyanogenmod-for-galaxy-a3a5a7-2016-sm-a310510710/
Maybe that old fight regarding Exynos processors is the main problem here. IDK for sure. Check it out here, XDA team made a post about this "betrayal" between Samsung and the developers.
Regardless, I'm still looking forward into that CM13 thread on the original development forums. However, the OP is not answering the PMs or the thread, so it's kinda useless by now.
Can't we make a Custom from ourselves maybe work with a good developer here on XDA and use our devices for testing

future of mi8 development

What's up with the devlopment dudes? There's basically no ROMs or kernels. We need to request xiaomi to send this device to a few devs and/or start a donation thread for a official los dev

Oh I'm sorry if I came across as rude, I'm new to the development community here and meant that as a casual message, as well as a suggestion to find a official los dev, which would ensure the longevity of this device compared to something like a poco f1
Also, I was exaggerating slightly when I said no ROMs or kernels - kudos to those developing right now. I'm thinking maybe of compiling a few ROMs as well

[Poll] Your thoughts on making a fundraiser for custom kernel development/support

Admins, delete if not allowed
So, as I was searching in forums and web pages, I've encounter that the Xiaomi Mi 9 is "forgotten" by kernel developers, some people say it's because of the popularity of some devices like the OP7 Pro, some other says its because there are a lot more interesting devices out there.
What I'm trying to say, is "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain".
So what I suggest is make a fundraiser to a kind developer, so he can work (or at least have fun) with our device, either kernel level or something else, of course with his previous consent.
There is so much potential in our device and room for improvements at kernel level (at least on xiaomi's), even more now with that 84Hz mod that it's still very raw in terms of development and maybe this is the chance to at least have a little more development on the forums.
Of course, there is absolutely no obligation on the developers part to release a final product, donations should be seen as support towards a best-effort on the part of the developer that accepts be part of this (possible) fundraiser.
So if you have in mind a great developer, leave his name below, If I'm out of my mind, just ignore or vote correspondingly :good:
It is not allowed
We did a fundraiser already for demon000, apparently XDA no longer allows this though. He is currently working on our device, but good things take time.
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/fundraiser-official-los-aosp-t3936463
Keep track here for his kernel development: https://github.com/Demon000/kernel_xiaomi_sm8150

Fundraiser thread for any kind of development is forbidden on XDA.
