I know this team is a smarter team .I trust on it .they build many fantastic all languages stock roms for many models .
Lol .good news .
@androidyemen. Are you guys working on unlocking the boot loader also?
When will idle waiting for more than one year long. Don't want to wait another.
I will make a donation to you even more. Please Upload a file for it!
I really hope this is true. I had 4.4.2 towelroot with xposed up untill a few days ago. It was awesome! I tried to upgrade to the jasmine 6.1 and got stuck in a bootloop . Now im running the stock 5.0 OB6. Because of verizons locked bootloader I thought there was no hope to get root back! (A must have for me) I was about to sell my phone. I really can't wait to see if this is real and works! *fingers crossed!
The level of anticipation is killing me.

so did they release anything yet?
Jesus Christ...
No. They have not.
They said mid-March.
Have a little patience.
I thought I was SOL when I stupidly updated to 5.0 without checking if you could keep root, or if there even was root. This would be awesome.
I was literally just looking to potentially get a new phone, was thinking of ditching samsung altogether for nexus, until I realized they don't use microsd (plus no stylus, I actually use that thing and the stylus app at work).
If I can root again I'll definitely hold on to the phone longer, and I would definitely donate a bit if it's through paypal, as this would save me a lot of money not upgrading for now.
Thanks for the hard work, guys, hope it works out.

Hi everyone,
I am taking a poll to guage interest in the S4 Community for donating to and obtaining Carbonrom on the Verizon Galaxy S4.
CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. I am not affiliated with any of the development of this rom. I am just a huge fan of their work and would love to see this rom come to our beloved S4. Having a device in hand to develop provides better success in providing a quality product. I am hoping this poll will help convince Carbonrom to purchase an S4 and begin development of it.
Here is a link to their goo.im developer page!
http://goo.im/devs/carbon
So what say ye!
UPDATE 5/28/13
There is now a secondary Carbon paypal link located here:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=T447T4BPVX2TY
THIS LINK IS STRICTLY FOR DONATIONS TO HELP FUND THE PURCHASE OF A VERIZON GALAXY S4 FOR TEAM CARBON.
This link will remain open until the goal (cost of a used S4) is reached. Should the goal not be obtained, or one is obtained by Team Carbon by another method, the monies will be refunded. All donations will be recorded and added to the OP, so there is full transparency on our way to the goal. Let's help Team Carbon get this device so our beloved S4 can get some lovin!
DONATION LIST:
1. David M. -$10
2. Thomas S -$8
Yeee

I had some problems on the S3 and went to Liquid / I do think that the developer has some talent and even lended some support ($$) but eventually went to Liquid prior to selling the S3. On the Touchwiz side, ScottsRoms always worked for me.
Thanks for the support guys. If enough is raised, I'd definitely like to support this device. I'm convinced that like the s3, this is going to be as close as we get to a nexus on Verizon.
justreboot, i'm not sure when you had your issues, but 1.7 is very solid, and in my opinion the nightlies even more so. Either way, 4.3 is going to be a complete rebase. We've got some exciting ideas in store.
I would do dirty, unforgivable things for Carbon on the GS4.

Looking at loki, the new bootloader unlock, I can say we'll definitely need to have a test unit to dev with. I'm not willing to blind dev on such a nice device anyway - you end up with a substandard rom in my opinion - but this one in particular will need more attention, since the bootloader unlock isn't a released tool so much as something we would need to integrate into the build process. On the plus side, it looks like we'd be able to do so fairly easily so we should be able to still have nightlies and the like.

We're cooking up some ridiculous new stuff. I think everyone is going to be VERY happy.
Carbon rom was probably the sexiest thing I ever ran on my bionic. I would donate a few bucks if it helped get us support for an S4.

Huawei is basically saying "you're on your own" to anyone who received a device as a devloper. That's not a great position... It's a pretty solid slap in the face. My first thought as a developer is "ok, they are out, why would I bother". I'd cut more slack if the device was 18-24 months old but they are pushing this as their flagship currently and an alternative to the more expensive phablets on the market. Even Samsung provides "reasonable" support for "old" flagships better than this.
The crazy thing is the hardware should be more than able to keep up with 4.4/5.0. Unless they are jumping right to 5.0 this move makes 0 sense to me.
Modding. Mymind and xordos with my continual softbrick testing have managed to port a pretty much fully working TWRP onto my MT2-L05 device and I have uploaded a decrypted 4.4.2 rom for my Mate 2 in this forum, so why don't we collectively try and port it to your device, any help you need that are within my skillset I will happily provide....just a thought.. ....

Does Huawei use a tool like RSD or Odin for system images or are devs stuck with manual disk images and the like via recovery?
Hmm, I was thinking about getting one of these, now I'm having doubts. If we only
get third party firmware, would I still be able to run software which will not run with root access ?
Have any of those developers who received the free phones mentioned their intentions?

Right now I'd hold off. Buy something else. The operating system on this phone is already a year old. Support for things like Android wear etc will be questionable in 6 months.
If Huawei doesn't update it's phones you should go with something else. Just my opinion.

I saw the blog post on my G+ feed earlier today. I'm not really shocked, but it still really feels like a kick in the teeth.
I'm not sure what kind of luck we'll have getting a custom KK/LP Rom running on this phone. Usually the manufacturer-provided ROM is used as a baseline for other modifications to be made. If we were to spin our own AOSP Rom, could we even find the drivers and kennel modules to make everything work?
Where do we go from here?

The kernel is up on one of the hosted Huawei sites. A quick once over at the BABBQ indicated it's a fairly vanilla Qualcomm 3.4 kernel with some Huawei bits sprinkled in. Shouldn't be much of an issue for 4.4. getting a 3.10 kernel up for 5.0 will be trickier and is a big question mark as 5.0 isn't officially released just yet. At the BABBQ we also discovered they didn't implement all of the modem modes in the ROM. Another developer told me they might take a closer look but gave no detail for timing.
I've been tinkering with adb backups, titanium and xposed lately and I'm not liking the stock ROM much. They omitted large chunks of the adb backup stuff rendering apps like Helium useless, the SD cards don't come through to the root context properly forcing you to enable a compatibility flag in SuperSU in order to make titanium work and apktool and other standard tools choke nicely on the system apks. I had to fall back to running the smali decompiler by hand to find the right hooks in SystemUI for a simple xposed hack.
Adding to the fun their version of Settings.apk is missing a number of standard features which you can only adjust via Tasker/SecureSettings or by hand behind the scenes. They also didn't implement encrypted storage in the vold storage stuff so you're screwed in an enterprise setting.
Based on what I've seen thus far a source based build is almost necessary if you want everything android has to offer. However, vetting a ROM to ensure various new functionality is 100% will be a pain.
Huawei left out a lot and the lack of 4.4 is a serious kick in the teeth.
Horrible
I just purchased this phone from amazon on July. I wouldn't mind the no update but I want to get a google watch in the next few months so I'm not very happy about this announcement. For some odd reason, Amazon is still letting me return this phone so I'm thinking of returning the phone. What is another phone that I can get at this price range?

You can use Huawei's Hi-Suite software to flash roms to phone from pc. You can also pack roms up into Huawei's update format and flash them in quick update mode from your phone's external sd card, or you can install via recovery.
I bought mine on September 29 (didn't get it until early October) through the gethuawei site. I wonder if I can return it... I'll find out when there livechat is live today, the 29th of October.
After just one minor OTA update they officially announce no additional updates for their only US device... That's a deal breaker for me.
Damn, I was just about to buy this phone. Does anyone know of any good alternatives in Canada?

Not surprised , saw this coming from the early start . Thing is , there is no alternative with these features / size at the 299$ price tag . There are phones like the ZTE nubia / moto g / Blu products / etc but they don't hold a candle to this phablet . On another note , I've customized my phone to the max and i don't need a major OS update . Just me , this phone runs perfectly for my use . Fine if they just push minor OS fixes via OTA . Developers can be our saviours ! Let's not forget this isn't really a flagship ! You're paying for the experience as created/intended at the time . Let's wait and see :thumbup:

Dear HAM2 users, I am currently on b309 and would like to update to b322 but hate re-installing all apps again. Hence I am reluctant so far for that reason.
Is there big difference in performance between b309 and B322?
Will there be another update to b322 or this is it?
The fact that everyone hasn't received ota update gives me impression that this is not final yet.
Is it worth the effort to update now or should I wait a few more weeks.
Thanks.

Not sure why people continue to rag on Huawei. They released LP on the HAM. They did a bunch of updates and then released B322. It seems to be working pretty damn good. They may release updates as they see fit. Think we should be happy we got LP quite frankly on this device. Then again, some people are never happy.

Not releasing KK and then being late releasing LP was very likely not making people happy from what I gathered reading the HAM2 forum here.

I switched my wife over to nexus 5p, I can't decide on a phone so rocking the S4 longer. Stang's ROM has helped to this. lol Though he has me waiting for extended desktop feature...
What more can be done to this phone? Feels it's all dependent on latest Google, TouchWiz, and CyanogenMod firmwares. The processor is still running today's tasks fine still.

When building from source honestly there are so many things that can be done. It's just a matter of somebody taking on the task.
Now I need to make a telegram account...

I'm running Stang's v2 rom on OF1. I thought this will be the closest I will ever get my S4 to running a streamlined ROM and I have to say, it's NEVER run better. Handles everything very nicely. I still find TWZ rather annoying though...so many baked-in 'features' that I've never used and don't care about.

That sounds like a lot of donations.

just trying to spark some life back into it.
seems there are a good few newcomers and plenty of users that dont plan on going anywhere
@stang5litre has done an excellent job on that as well.
I'm too poor to go anywhere... also because the one phone I want is like 100 bucks... plus taxes and crap, which we sure as heck don't have the money for because yay water damage!
we did hijack mohammed's thread...haven't tried the new Safestrap yet. Does it work good?
So is there anything to this mention of a unlocked bootloader for the s4?
Yes, for MDK bootloader.

I wonder if its possible to re-map memory to flash
really there isn't much public info on the state of kexec and what has/has not been tried or done
last I heard got the kernel to initialize but it was hanging at boot ... after that everybody sorta dropped
if you could map some of the memory to a flash partition you could walk it as it boots and get a better idea on whats going on
I'm still on this phone because it has the features I want with an unlocked BL. If the Nexus 6 had a removable SD card, battery, IR, and some of the Samsung features like side sync and multiwindow, I'd use it instead.
Also if the S5, or Note 3 BL proof of concept unlock ever gets released, I'd get either one.
One thing I'm currently looking at is removing all the google bits that are not part of the AOSP, and basically making the Phoenix ROM like a S4 would be if it only had Samsung's software on it.
I like the direction stang, and klabit are going to add as many features as possible from the newer Samsung phones to the S4.
UPSM is a boon to the day to day use of this phone, as is fast charge and the new kernel.
The only thing I could really wish for is that all the new features could be optional and selectable at install like some of them are in the Phoenix port.
I believe that the Chinese variants are this way because of the ban on google services in China.
I don't want to remove the google services for the reason China does. Just for battery life reasons, and the constant addition of features I don't want, or need.
I am slowing transitioning over to using mostly apps from the f-droid repository and side loading the few app only on the play store, backed up from another phone.
As far as telegram is concerned, it's not 100% secure in it's default configuration, if that is your main use of it.
I use another software that is currently still in beta called ring. It is cross platform as well as open source.
I'm also working on designing a 3d printed case for using an extended battery, Qi charging that is rugged and has a removable front S-view cover option.
When I get more 3d modeling of it done I'll put a link in my sig.
Edit: Wrong area, my bad.
If that got your attention then I need your help. If you have a USA NOTE 8 then you currently have limited ROM options. Some will tell you it can't be done, but there is already a solid rom for the S8+ (which also has a locked bootloader).
Basically if you have a TMOBILE, ATT, VERIZON, SPRINT or other US note we can get a sick rom made for US. Free of charge.
What's the catch?
The Dev willing to make this rom needs to know that a few of us (not just me) want and need this rom.
Please just reply to this thread if you own a Note 8 and want a deodexed, Knox removed, sped up, debloated and prerooted rom.
Thanks guys!!!

Aosp with spen functionally. Lol
Should most likely post this in the US carrier forums.
Or maybe the ROM/Development thread?
Honestly, I'm not sure where you would place a post demanding a ROM Developer make a ROM.
More is better!
A sick rom would be great, I miss my Note 1 and all of the rom options I had......

Love the idea. Would Samsung Pay still work?

Absolutely not. SPay will NOT work on a rooted device or a custom ROM.

Would this include an attached Gear S3? I don't know why anyone would give up MST functionality and why Samsung is singing it to the moon. It is a real game changer.

I don't have an S3, but can the Spay function on it independent of the phone? Can you set it up and use it without the phone?

You initiate it on the watch and it sets up through the phone, so if you can't even launch it on the phone that would answer the question and mean it doesn't work.
I would be more enamored by the MST upgrade from the Gear S2, but I have had pay since the S6. If I didn't have a phone with MST I would for sure be buying an S3. I run unlocked ROM and tethering and caller ID are enabled. I don't know what else I get with it, but tethering is usually $10 a month.

If it requires SPay on the phone, then no it won't work. I use SPay all the time, so root and custom ROMs don't interest me too many options available to customise and disable bloatware without root now anyway.
Not Demanding...
I approached a Dev who is capable and maybe willing to make us a rom.
I didn't "Demand" nor should anyone else. (People like to be appreciated, not harassed / bossed around, see Psychology 101)
We MAY get a Rom, it is very likely, but said Dev (who can chime in whenever they like, otherwise will remain anon for now) wants to have:
1.) Interest. Dev doesn't own a Note 8, will be doing this not for his own use. He wants to know that at least 5 or 10 of us will be able to benefit from his time and effort.
2.) Testers. The rom will (hopefully) be based on the U1 Unlocked firmware. Testers with any US model N8 (or Canadian I suppose) can benefit, but we need people from
all carriers willing to flash beta software to their phones, not whine if it doesnt work right away, and give intelligent, meaningful feedback.
3.) Time. This will be a gift / sideproject for the dev. It may take a while. We gotta get people interested, help test, and BE PATIENT!
If you want to be part of this groundbreaking process just keep on keeping on!
EDIT: This rom will most likely have native Tethering built in... no bloat, knox removed, prerooted, deodexed etc
I would love a Rom and be willing to test also!

Shouldn't this be in the ROM/Development section?
Probably! I guess i'll move it lol
This is not a joke?
All of XDA's users of Note 8 (950U too) want of any rom, except official.
This is Not a joke. S8 / S8+ US model has almost the same setup as us, and also the same ****** locked bootloader.
There is a rom (are roms?) for it, and its badass.
I was amazed it wasnt available for the Note 8 US, so I asked and there just hadnt been any interested people asking someone who could handle it.
The guy who has the best chance of making it doesnt OWN a N8 so without someone asking him, it just wasnt on the old todo list.
I'm sure said Dev will get on here at some point as we get more people posting and clarify what he Can/Will/Will try to do. This is in no way guaranteed, but I would bet we have a rom sooner rather than later if we get enough people involved.
The thread will remain here while we gather testers and get a core of people interested.
When Dev decides to post a Link to something we can Download and test, He can start a Dev/Rom thread for that purpose. Keeps the site nice and tidy.
I'm willing to be a tester. Would love to have a new rom on my Sprint Note 8
