Since there are no real experienced devs in L9 forum. In very near future also it is not possible to get too many developers coming here from other devices. Therefore...posting this out of huge frustration.
I was thinking about a BOUNTY call for EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED DEVELOPERS who can build Custom Roms with many features as we already have unlocked bootloader. This was suggested to me by a user at least 2 months before for L9.
:laugh::laugh:How about calling a BOUNTY to be started for custom roms ...
with completely rebuilt custom Kernels with various profiles, like business, gaming, longest battery, etc.
with completely rebuilt bugless custom Kernels with safe and faster OC profiles from 1.2 to 1.5Ghz.
with completely rebuilt bugless stock rom with memory tweaks and missing bloatwares.
with completely rebuilt bugless CM, PA, AOSP, PAC port.
with completely rebuilt bugless Ubuntu port.
with Roms which can support all L9 Variants.
with working OTG
with working MHL
with working memory hack
with modded camera with hi-quality profiles
with really working Bravia Engine and not placebo
with really working Sound Enhancements and not placebo
with full support for theming
with full regular support for updates and willingness to for more wishlists.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF.... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
With current userbase here, it should not be difficult for us to achieve a goal of calling a bounty from $1500 to $3000. Bounty will be only for totally bugless Roms. If everyone of us can share a bounty from $10 to $100 depending on the wishlist items and its possibilities, I think we can achieve goals. Bounty can be declared for individual requirement or for all of above in one.
Come on pals, give me your opinion and wishlists. I have never started a bounty before or dont have an experience, I also don't know the rules. But if some of us could come together we can find the ways to move ahead. I dont know how this is going to workout if everyone agrees it may work. I know some will take me seriously :good: and others can simply laugh it out. :laugh: I really don't care. lolz
** It is known fact that, developers dont own all devices, but when bounty is declared they buy/borrow devices and start working on it.
**We may also need a group of beta-testers who should not leak the beta builds supplied by developers for testing.

Sounds like a plan.
I'd maybe be in with 10$, under the condition that it works for me (since I can't unlock my Bootloader/install CWM/etc for some reason) and that I still have my device when it's finished (including bricking etc.)

Great to know. Hope things roll in right direction. We really need too many people to support this. And yes, there are always chances of some users backing off or refuse to pay later, sort of cheating. Not a surprise, happened before.
I think this is a great idea!
Ill throw in 5 bucks on this device for a good rom no bloatware

Ill do this once the Jelly Bean update comes for P768 =] Cant use any custom roms yet?
I willing to pay the bounty for some extra features like OTG and MHL,
but first lemme find a job.I am currently unemployed.
Edit:
check this thread : Bounty Won by Team Codefire
These guys not only unlocked but coverted Optimus G to Nexus 4. 100% compatable with nexus 4 roms. Damnnnn!
I wonder if something like this could be done on Optimus L9 and making it Galaxy Nexus. I know this can't happen probably cause galaxy nexus is samsung device Optimus L9 Lg's baby.
Porting roms from galaxy nexus might be possible for experienced developers cause Optimus L9 has very similar hardware like Galaxy nexus. they both run on Ti Omap processor. Lg has Ti omap 4430, Galaxy nexus has Ti omap 4460.

You mean to say galaxy nexus roms compatable with optimus L9?????
OTG is important
Will gladly pay $10 for OTG.
My personal opinion is that, L9 is not unfortunate for not having good developers, but its unfortunate because this phone is in middle range and no generous users I can see here. Some talk about 5 bucks and some give lame excuses. We expect too much and shell out too less.
I also dont see good number of response after 400+ views. This means people are reading it and simply ignoring. I think now this thread is useless and not going to serve any purpose.
Moderators are asked to close this thread. Please dont post further.

Yet you haven't mentioned about any amount you would give for this project.
Thread Closed as per OP, Thank You.
Edit: I will not be participating in this bounty any longer because I have pre-ordered the Note 3. I don't know if there is a way to transfer control of this thread to another user, if there is, please PM me if you want to take the responsibility. In addition, @mse_uk is also withdrawing from the bounty and can no longer provide the Note II demo unit, although he is maintaining his monetary pledge. I will also hold to my pledge as well. I hope you guys get root and a decent ROM very soon.
Why are we creating this bounty?
Coming from a T-Mobile Galaxy Note, I know how sad it can be when there is very little development for our phones. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a very good phone, but it needs some development to make it a great phone. We love our phones, but would love them that much more if we had the latest Android version. So what we need is a stable version of CyanogenMod for the Galaxy Mega 6.3. It must be CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) After considering the responses to this thread, it has been agreed that either a stable 10.1 or 10.2 ROM would be welcome. As an added bonus, member mse_uk has graciously offered his Galaxy Note II demo unit (i.e. fully functional, but minus the radio) to be added to the bounty provided that the developer provides a source repository for his work so that future development can be continued on the project.
What qualifies as a 'stable' ROM?
By stable, I mean the following must be working properly:
Calls
Data (including 3G/4G or LTE where available)
Camera (back and front)
Audio (speakers and earpiece)
Bluetooth
Wifi
GPS
Vibration
Rotation
Auto Brightness
Notification and LED (back/menu) lights
Android Keyboard
USB connection
What are the criteria for collecting the bounty?
In order to collect the bounty, the following conditions must be met:
1. Post in this thread that you are interested in the bounty and that you are working on getting it done (this will help avoid problems later).
2. Post your final version of the ROM in this thread so that pledgers can test and verify the stability of the ROM.
3. Provide the source repository for the ROM so that further development can continue.
Once these three conditions are met, the developer will be paid through their Paypal account and the Galaxy Note II will be shipped.
What can you do to make this a reality?
If you want to add to the bounty (and lets face it, you all do, lol) then post in this thread with your pledge, which I will add to this first post and the total. Any support that this gets is good, so even if you can only pledge a little, please do it. (As of now, I am leaving out pledges who are asking specifically about the AT&T version, because i'm not sure that their phone will be able to take advantage of any ROMs because of the current state of the bootloader. If that changes, I will include them in the total).
I will update this thread to keep everyone informed of the total pledged.

To be honest with you, I didn't consider the different versions. The international versions (i9200 and i905) have been out for a few weeks, so that is the one that most of us have been dealing with, but I know that the AT&T version (i527) was just announced and will be in stores soon (if not already).
I am pretty sure that the internals of all of the versions are the same, so it may be that one ROM will be good for all phones (except for the radios/modems). But we'll need a dev to actually confirm that.
I'll leave your pledge off until we can figure that out. Thanks for showing interest anyway.

@mse_uk: Thanks for making this available for the bounty, i'm sure it will peak a few dev's interest.
@everyone else: I wonder if there's a way to advertise our bounty on XDA. Dev's probably won't know about it until they come to this forum, which they probably won't do if they don't have a Mega or aren't thinking about getting one.
Maybe i'll tweet at XDA about the bounty with a link to this thread.
I think this bounty is unrealistic and the responses or lack of from developers will tell. The bounty is asking for a fully functional 10.2 rom with everything working. Right now, 10.2 is still in beta for the Note 2 and even when it gets out of beta and becomes a daily driver rom, there will still be some stuff that needs to be ironed out (Bluetooth, camera, low in call volume, etc...) if the past rom development is any indication.
Basically what I'm saying is I highly doubt any dev would take on the above requirements which is not realistic to complete and all for $75 and a phone that can't make calls.
You may want to revise the bounty for whoever can get CM to boot on the Mega 6.3 first. Then we should be able to get roms ported over. Then god willing, with the Megas going to the US, more devs get interested and develop for this phone.
At present only three people have pledged to a bounty, next week we could still have three, similarly we could have twenty which would be more appealing to somebody with the skills. I'm contributing towards a bounty because I just don't have the skills to do it myself even though i am giving it my best shot.
My latest failure after starting from scratch (again):
Code:
error: /home/mark/cm10.2/out/target/product/meliuslte/system.img+ too large (298913472 > [283041792 - 2838528])

The Mega is still a fairly new device, and a niche device at that. But I don't see any problem with having a bounty for CM 10.2, even if all you say is true. The same time/effort that would be dedicated to any other device could be dedicated to this device as well. And the sooner we get someone working on the latest version, the less time we have to wait to get a stable version. I would rather have the effort put towards the latest version with slow progress, than someone quickly porting CM 9.
But perhaps your suggestion of having bounties for different stages does make sense. we could have a small bounty for getting 10.2 to boot, and then a larger bounty for a test version and a stable version. If people think that is a good idea, I can set it up that way.
As for the current level of the bounty, yeah it's small, but as I said, the Mega is still a fairly new device, and is just hitting US carriers now. It might take a few weeks, but as more people get their devices and seek to expand its capabilities, they will come here and hopefully pledge something towards the bounty. I think everyone who is participating knows that this won't be an overnight effort.
Edit: btw, did you come here because you have a Mega and were just browsing the forum, or did you see my tweet about this bounty?
I have a mega and note 2 so I switch back and forth. Unfortunately time is not on our side. The note 3 will be coming out next month and devs will be moving on the the latest and greatest. What we need is for devs to have a vested interest in developing for the mega even though it isn't popular. I personally love slimbean ROMs. They are well programmed *and* they support older devices as they continue to do great things for new devices.
What I'm trying to say is that for the mega to have a chance of getting custom roms , one of the devs would have to have the phone to maintain it.
So instead of waiting until a dev does all the work getting a working ROM and collecting the bounty, we should contact one of them eg. Slimbean lead dev asking if he could include the mega among supported devices and send him enough money to buy one himself.

15 days back i sent a PM to Indie but no response from him. Missing Omega , Criskelo and Android Revolution Badly... Only these developers with NEAK or perseus Kernel could remove little Touchwiz and other Lag .
Would be nice to see some love for this phone.
Pledging $25 as well.
I would happily toss in 15$ for a cm 10.1 or cm 10.2 that boots!!
Many a mickle makes a muckle, right?
As 2015 creeps up on us what would be a god device to get and have great support on, im currently using my knox bricked note 3 (which is fine since im not going to use the warranty anyway) and basically what im looking for in this device is plenty of support for custom roms just like cm. since we have a great community of great developers, i don't really care about my warranty.
what is you'r next device and why?
and what do you think will come in the future devices besides Android L?
Hi everyone, well, Ive noticed galaxy note 2 is going to receive the last version of android (lollipop) oficially by sammy. I found the notice here in sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/2014/12/23...lipop-update-for-galaxy-note-2-and-galaxy-s4/
As far as I know, the international version of both devices (note 2 and s3) have the same chipset: Exynos 4412. So I was wondering if due to this we can expect to see ports from note 2 to our lovely s3 .
Is just a little question, as Im not a developer, and I read a post somewhere in xda saying it couldnt be posible to have oficial ports of the latest version of android in our s3 because of samsung and its no-documented chipset exynos, making ports almost imposible from other devices.

Questions go in the q&a area.
Hard to tell maybe, maybe not.
We already have developers working on a couple of LP's for our device, so I would say they will not port it anytime soon.
Either wait for them to be daily drivers or wait for a port.

Sorry for posting this here hehehe. I know the hard work from the developers as arter97 who has become a little famous, and Im sure we will have some stable versions of lollipop to our devices. Well, as i told you, im not a developer, but I want to know, it wouldnt be easier making a port from a device who has the same chipset than making a new AOSP based ROM?
I apreciate all the work from our developers and i dont want to question that, you have the knowlede and im the newbie who make all that dummy questions heheheh

Have a nice day bro.
A little about myself and the ethos I have to talk
I am Waseem Alkurdi, developer and owner of a Grand 2 since July 2014, and one of the earliest contributors to the community (Does anybody remember The Ultimate S5 Mod or MicroKat?).
I have a little mission to complete before taking my Grand 2 out of active service as a daily driver (NOT GOING TO DESERT IT THOUGH, EVER) which is building every next Android version from AOSP/CM (Lineage) sources (starting from Android O until the last version of Android that boots on 1.5 GB of RAM) and porting something significant to this beaut (I'm talking about OEM ROMs, but tips are welcome!)
What the Grand 2 was one day
The Grand 2 was the utopia of an Android device community turned real.
The community was rolling out ROM after ROM, mod after mod, and everybody was excited ...
First, @balliboxer rolled out the first TouchWiz (Android 4.3-based) rooted ROM for the device, and that was May 2014 if I remember. It was the first victory for the community, as everybody thought that the device could never see root because of the Qualcomm SecureBoot technology, which apparently got everybody thinking about a locked bootloader, which was not the case. (If anybody has a Grand 2 on 4.3, boot into Download Mode and you'll see what I mean: QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLED in blue letters).
Then came the official KitKat update: Of the most important changes was that the dreaded QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT:ENABLED line was replaced with a red UDC:START in red letters). Does that mean that technology was disabled? Only God knows.
With the KitKat update came GenNxt, another ROM by @balliboxer, and one of my first projects, the Ultimate S5 Mod. The mod exploited the S5 code hidden under the stock ROM to "transform" the device into an S5 look-alike.
But my mod has lost the limelight when @balliboxer and @aapav01 came out with the S5 mini port ROM. The ROM was not a lookalike, it was the real deal, and was a hit to Samsung itself and their corporate policy of not updating the UI design of older devices.
Then came the 4.4.4 port from the S3 Neo, another device with the same SoC as the Grand 2. It hadn't received much attention though, as the S5 mini port took it all.
At about the same time, I released MicroKat, a barebones ROM based on stock. It has received some attention from people whom I call "purists", those who like everything pure without the garbage that sticks to stuff at times, and from people who wanted the most performance of their devices.
Later on, a stream of ROMs came: A bombshell of 4.4.4 CyanogenMod 11, CyanognenMod 12 by @mukulsoni, another S5 mini port, this time using Lollipop TouchWiz, and CyanogenMod 13, and later, 14, by @adityaupreti, ResurrectionRemix M by @buggatty, and some Nougat ROMs by @SoUnd001, among more. With each ROM came a surprise.
Where the Grand 2 stands today
We, folks, have passed the climax of the story of our Grand 2. Way long ago, to be honest. We have hit the climax in those ol' times when the team of contributors ported ROM after ROM, when Android Lollipop from source was nothing to this community, and when the Lollipop port from the S5 Mini was being downloaded like nothing the Internet has ever seen
Folks, this device is officially dead.
But is the Snapdragon 400 SoC archaically old?
Heck, no!
Is 1.5 GB of RAM dead?
Heck, no!
What killed the Grand 2 is nothing but the childish bickering of the community.
Yep, the whole community, myself included.
When the same generous developers of our community and all of XDA turn into selfish, egoistic bullies, because of their impatience with some kids, yeah, kids, babies, children who have not been taught respect by their families, who are equally rude, that's what we get, the current state of the Grand 2.
I am not referring to one incident, but to a collective of incidents.
What is supposed to happen
Quite nothing could be done.
Well, quite nothing could be done to a community which has brought itself down.
Speaking for myself, I will aim at my goals, listed above, no matter what. But for other developers, all of which are of higher order than I am, please give this community a second chance.
I have a word for them (especially @adityaupret i
The Grand 2 community is at risk of collapsing prematurely. One hand cannot clap, as we Arabs say. However, all of our hands can work together for the prosperity of the community. Do you want to save this community?

Other than that there are no projects/devs active. If i succeed with MIUI & my friend also succeed with FlymeOS then we will work on more projects and try to keep the developement alive.
Are you also working on any project???

First, I do remember you ... It's indeed a pleasure to hear from you after all that time ...
Well, as far as I could see, Aditya and @SoUnd001 have announced that they'll desert the Grand 2 (on the ResurrectionRemix Nougat thread), with threats of using the moderators for "policing" of the community, effectively installing (politically not technically here) themselves as absolute monarchs, waving their device trees, as if it was only them who had the intelligence and skill of learning the craft ...
But they are indeed justified and I do agree with them, as some users are indeed rude ...
Have they stepped back from their decision?
I hope they do.

Other than that there are no projects/devs active. If i succeed with MIUI & my friend also succeed with FlymeOS then we will work on more projects and try to keep the developement alive.
Are you also working on any project???

It is great to know that there's some hope left ... Wish you and your friends the best of luck!
@SoUnd001, as it seems, is out of the scene for the time being.
As for myself, I am a Grade 12 student, and I have halted almost all electronic activity until I finish my secondary education exams (like the IGCSE, but my country's flavor).
However, I intend to start building a multitude of ROMs (mostly AOSP-based) from source starting June-July 2017.
Well G2 was having some Awesome Roms and Ports !
When Aapav ported TW LL from S5 Mini then Whole G2 Development loved that ROM.....all were crazy abt it ! As Samsung left G2 to die alone !
But after some time Aapav left G2 becoz of people ! And then Aditya and Sound were left on G2....They made cool rom to make G2 Live more ! Aditya Booted first Android N Rom on G2 and TW MM on G2 ! And then Aditya and Sound both made RR N....but again people spam bug bug bug.....NO Voice...how can I use...and soo on ! Soo they both decided to left Development ! But after a While....more longer....They came back with First ALPHA Release of TW MM.....And it was srsly the Best rom for G2 as it was TW MM which Samsung would never even thought that it will be Booted ! But due to some problems the Thread was closed.....but still I can hope that Aditya and Sound will again Release TW MM if they think that It is Fully STABLE to get it Released !
G2 lived a Very long Life !
And we shld thank all the Developers for that....Just Thank them not Spam them !

Can anybody please tell me what "skills" I require if I'm to start with this so called "Android Development"? (building thingies from source). It'd be really helpful.
great

Generally, you will need:
A computer running Linux, preferably Ubuntu
Knowledge on Linux (just some terminal-friendliness, no need for really deep knowledge)
Knowledge about Android; pretend to be a doctor or your ol' mechanic and carefully dissect the stock ROM or any other ROM to get that)
Lack of terminalphobia is absolutely essential, as the whole Android build process is in the terminal.
Debugging interfaces shipped with Android (logcat, dmesg, and the whole lot)
Being generally tech-savvy (not running to others for help, but learning by trial and error, knowing how to wisely use Google, and knowing how to multiboot Windows, Linux, and Mac OS is generally proof of that)
Edit: Forgot a knowledge of a) programming (recommended, not obligatory) and b) Git and source control.
Worse news guys. SoUnd001 left Grand 2 & moved on to J5 developement. He even deleted his device tree. He and aditya got some problems thats why he left
So in my opinion we must setup a device tree if developement has to be continued. @Hammerhead2502 @WaseemAlkurdi & all other people willing to join hands to keep the developement alive please do something :'(

For me, and once again, I will be fully dedicated as of Jun.-Jul. 2017, not a day before that.
And although what SoUnd001 did of removal of trees was rude and unethical in open-source community terms, it is totally his right as his own effort and mental work. Being his right though, does not justify the action, and again, he is not the only one with the mental ability and skill needed to start building Android.

Yes i agree he has rights to delete and all. I don't blame him. But as usual Grand 2's developement is the one to bare the consequences of aditya & SoUnd's fight.
So in my opinion the first step should be setting up a device tree.
