Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Samsung has committed to releasing something for the Exynos 4 Quad, but the devs seem to be highly doubtful that we are going to actually get anything useful.

Regarding Exynos 4 Dual they said they are reviewing whether or not to release something for it.

Htc aint release no platform source.

But qcom does.

And htc's binaries are somehow compatible with aosp without much hacking, samsungs arent
[Galaxy S II General] iamflamez:
i got this reply

Samsung is working on providing source codes for the Exynos 4 Family, utilized on the Origen developers board. Full availability of the integrated source code will be available by the end of 2012. Availability on Git server will be initiated in Nov'12. (www.origenboard.org)

From Samsung Mobile
[Galaxy S II General] Orginator:
I've posted that information many pages ago, as I have contact with Mr. Kang @ Samsung and been trying to work out this issue ever since. I should have some more details soon.

But yeah we will get working Exynos 4210 sources for the Origen board. (So far he just pointed out it would be ICS)
[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
They say they will release full source code until the end of 2012 but until now it was just talk and what they have released so far is absolutely useless.
[Galaxy S II General] iamflamez:
well my whole household and friends circle are using samsung products phones, tablets tv's etc. If i cant run CM10.1 with H/WC on my washing machines by next month then i'd quite happilly push everyone to get an LG with unlocked steam wash facilility!
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
According to the latest schedule from Samsung. Origen quad final platform source release will be done on 19th Dec.

We'll have intermediate releases on 5th and 12th Dec. Let's wait and see if their new sources will atleast be working on 4412. If it works on 4412, it shouldn't be difficult i think to port atleast the hwcomposer to 4410.
[Galaxy S II General] guitarplayerone:
We don't need ICS. We need JB. Quite frankly, that's just not good enough.

Guess the next phone will be a nexus phablet, if they ever make such a thing
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
Its quite simple, if we don't get sources fast for ics and jb our next phone will be nexus.
[Galaxy S II General] Orginator:
Actually as to my knowledge I'd dare to say that you are wrong, as the differences between ICS and JB aren't so big and having a properly working sources for either one would be enough to get both up and running.

So a working HWC for ICS would lead to a working one for JB..
[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
As far as I'm aware you're wrong.

ICS source may suffice in some cases, but not for Exynos 4. The problem is that Samsung doesn't give a flying **** about standards and thus hoping that something does not break compatibility is like playing Russian roulette with only one empty chamber.

See the audio example.

Fully working ICS is useless under JB. After some hacking you make it work, but it is still bugged.

Give the man a truthful answer such as it will explain why my Yorkshire Puds don't rise and why I should stick to buying Aunt Bessies.

Or for reasons some people really don't understand but taking the lead from someone who had a mantrum about manufacturer support, it'll stop tears and the labelling of Samsung being Nazi, peadarest, liberals who claim benefits and work illegally in [insert home country here].

TBH, if a dev posted that hwcomposer was fixed, the placebo affect would be enough as some people wouldn't notice the difference if it was working or not!
[Galaxy S II General] Jgjd691995:
so basically hwcomposer is not working and so everything is not as smooth as it should be and if u have the source code all custom roms will be able to use the cpu more efficiently and their roms would be smoother and more productive right??
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
That among other things, but yes.
[Galaxy S II General] Jgjd691995:
those other things consist of?? and would this help custom kernels with stock roms ??

[Galaxy S II General] Orginator:
Okey so I've got an update regarding the Exynos4210 bsp sources, let me quote Mr. Kang:
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Not particularly useful... Working 4412 sources aren't too hard to get running on 4210 (Edit: Except camera... The camera subsystem is VERY different between 4210 and 4412 (such as 4412 camera needing libsecnativefeature)... That said, it's also VERY different between Mobile's blobs and Insignal source.

Problem is, the Insignal ICS sources completely mismatch Mobile's blobs. I'm not talking slight differences, the architecture is TOTALLY different.

End result is we're stuck with vastly outdated Mali/EGL blobs that cause all sorts of weird problems (such as frequent graphics corruption, kind of like horizontal sprinkles all over the screen)

It's really sad that a development board which should be ahead of handsets/tablets (due to not having to deal with carrier testing or wireless certifications) is so far behind handsets/tablets - I9300 got 4.1 in late September, and they're still screwing around with ICS for Origenboard.

This wouldn't be as annoying if the source for Origenboard were even remotely like what all other Exynos4 devices use, but it isn't.
[Galaxy S II General] sephkateno:
I don't believe samsung will do as they said by the end of the year hell we are at the end of the year! I still remember why I moved to custom roms in the first place....because I waited forever the official ics update via kies man those guys at samsung are something else. But in the other hand it would be awesome to get the sources many issues and lags would start to vanish anyway fingers crossed!
[Galaxy S II General] fatjivi:
Maybe if Samsung didn't release a 100 handsets a year they would have a better time keeping up with the updates
[Galaxy S II General] pileot:
Part of the problem with that is when the manufacturer has an update they have to:

Program the update

Test

Bugfix

Finalize

Send to various carriers

each carrier will then test

program and overlay their specific apps / bloatware

test

release to public

This is part of why the same phone on two different carriers will see two different release dates. Thats also part of why the Nexus phones usually have more appeal because they forego most of the back n forth and just give you stock android.

All that aside, i wouldnt hold my breath with this, waiting on any manufacturer to release source code for anything is like waiting to see a unicorn. Not likely. Commend the effort tho! Email sent, for what good it will do.

Whats gives all these devices some kind of dif its their software... cm does a good work by emulating its drivers fot us... linux based divices are like we know open source... that should be good for us. We buy samsung **** for their hardware and software... wanna feel the full power of the chipset keep modding the stock software. :beer:
[Galaxy S II General] Dr. Dose:
Reading helps a lot to get the importance about that. Did help me either and prevented me 2 years of asking stupid questions.

You are talking about software which makes the difference. But did you ever mention that software and hardware belong together in a very special way? and that there are some interfaces between them? And, yeah CM does a good job, but did you ever compare the "bugs-section" of CM-Rom between the S2 and another device which has better documentated/open sourced chipsets? When you answer these questions by yourself i'm sure you'll get the importance ;)

[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
DAFUQ?

Just kidding. :p

The problem is not the screens though. Since the pixels are self-emitting their brightness depends on the actual content. That many things appear too dark comes from the fact that the same content is used on both LCDs and SAOLEDs.

Since SAMOLEDs can go from white to black and LCDs only go from white to gray. Same goes for colors.

If any manufacturer would properly calibrate their SAMOLED screen, it would be amazing.

Try a white image at full brightness. You can use the display as flashlight then.
[Galaxy S II General] chris2busy:
well...you are wrong..and it has to do with the brightness level of the iluminated piels, BUT on LCD screens you only have to get the backlight lamp stronger and get much higher brightness..check out this comparison of brightness between a few screens for example..you will notice most amoleds getting near half as bright as lcd/ips

http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_4_vs_samsung_galaxy_s_iii-review-864p3.php

that is also the reason why gs2/gs3 are almost impossible to read under bright sunlight.
[Galaxy S II General] reablom:
As long as Samsung is unable to speed up the release of updates (hello, JB anyone?) they should be happy that the Devs at XDA can. They should support them anyway they can instead of making their lives difficult.

Samsung need to understand that the devs are not their enemies! ;)

[Galaxy S II General] TheSniperFan:
That's only half of the truth.

I would post a video here that compares the Galaxy Nexus with the S2. The S2 outperforms the Nexus by far in terms of brightness. I *assume* it's because of the Pentile matrix (can't remember anymore)

I just can't find it.

I also have no problem with reading in direct sun light (unless the reflection blinds me). That being said, I'd like an IPS panel because SAMOLEDs are only awesome on paper.

The problem that I was thinking of in my other post was not about physical brightness though. It was content related. Dark images sometimes look (almost) pitch black on my S2. No matter how I set the brightness.

If only 90% of the people would not buy a Sammie phone after the S2 it would have a huge impact in the smartphone market... But as custom roms are a small percentage of total amount of users it will never be the case...

The only thing we can do to have a very small influence is tell the people who are not techie and who trust in our judgement to do not buy Sammie phone again...
