[Galaxy S II General] :
I still feel a little bit optimistic about the whole situation. I'm amazed that SamsungExynos still responds to tweets like the one posted above :) I'd be really interested who interferes with the release of source codes. Sounds like Samsung itself would have released the sources if they had permissions. Anyway, subscribed to stay up-to-date :)

Stupid Samsung why you no release source code?? :( even codeworkx is leaving Sammy and shifting to Xperia because Sammy is acting all top secret as if we are asking them release nuclear site locations of Korea.. why are they acting like this why don't they support custom rom development when they make such ugly roms

Going for nexus 4(or 5), when i get money
[Galaxy S II General] :
I also got a response at their Facebook page:

Here's my question:

And their answer:

...nothing more to say :b
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
Tired of being patient!

My advice to everyone:

if you can! Sell your Samsung device. And move to another manufacturer!

If you can't! Use it and abuse it because the it will "die" very soon.

I also had a S4 in my hands! And is more of the same! Great hardware with crappy software.

I'm still stuck with one S2 that my father had and give it to me before buying a Nexus 4 for himself.

Still could't find a buyer for it!

I think that the there will be some news about new Nexus devices still this month!

And still remember all the promises that Samsung made about S2!

And when anyone ask me about buy a Samsung device! I always says "Forget it! Go Nexus!"

BTW: The S4 that I was talking about is the snapdragon version!
[Galaxy S II General] tuxnice:
+1
[Galaxy S II General] Bryanvdst:
^ Galaxy still beats Nexus on expendable memory...
[Galaxy S II General] :
Because of that OTG exist :)

I know thar N4 not supporting OTG because it can't power OTG device but there is usb y cable on which u can attach external battert and you have OTG on N4 yeeey :)
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
Like I said: great hardware but the software sucks.

Sell what you have and don't buy new Samsung devices in the future.
[Galaxy S II General] ro4sho:
+1 Indeed.

The best voting mechanism is and will probably always be your wallet.

Nexus here I come.
[Galaxy S II General] Bryanvdst:
So then everytime I would want to listen to music on my Nexus, I'd have to plug in some cable? That's just silly :confused:

So yea, Galaxy still beats Nexus on that.
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
It's all about the money!
[Galaxy S II General] :
If 12.56GB is not enough for you to store most important stuffs then you should buy laptop
[Galaxy S II General] Bryanvdst:
With my Galaxy I can not only have my most important stuff, I can have all my important stuff.

I have about 10GB of music I regularly listen to, so no 12GB is not nearly enough for me. Add photos, videos, ROMs, backups...

And that comment about the laptop is just silly.
[Galaxy S II General] :
So don't buy nexus, stay with ur lovely galaxy
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
Nexus 4 can't power up a pen drive with a OTG cable?

BTW: The internal storage is more than enough to store music, ROMs and other files.

You just need to transfer the old stuff to your computer with regularity!

And I keep saying, forget Samsung! Forget the lies of Samsung PR in social networks.

Don't buy more devices from them! And tell others to don't buy it either.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Bruaca, tottaly agree with u, btw n4 can't power otg, but it is possible to power with eg. external battery, u can read about that in n4 forum
[Galaxy S II General] Bryanvdst:
Well this seems to be something we'll never agree on haha. I think 12GB is nearly not enough, a few games and not even all of my music and it's full. [MENTION=4200885]Bruaca[/MENTION] I have an extra 16GB SD card in my phone right now and combined with the internal storage have only 1GB left..

I do agree about the Exynos code but...it probably won't keep me from buying another Samsung phone.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Then u wait for 64gb version and pay $600, this thread is about exynos source not about n4
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
I can't see a reason to stay with Samsung because of storage space.

I don't go to Sony?

Store space vs good software? What you will choose?
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
I choose talk about topic subject :P
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
On topic:

They will not release the code!

See that even Steve Kondik left Samsung https://plus.google.com/100275307499530023476/posts/U9KhibuYFcj .

Lots of devs are moving on to another devices.

Like I said a few posts before! If you can try to sell your device.

If you can't! You have to stay with it until buy a new one.

And if you are smart! Don't buy another Samsung device!

:D
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
Pretty much means nothing when Kondik himself is shoehorning CM 10.1 on to the S4.

Yes, Devs will be moving on to other devices, we saw that when the S3 and other devices were released but even when some of the community said that they would never dally with Samsung devices again it seems Kondik never read the group memo.

Samsung are too big a player to be ignored so all this talk of not producing custom ROMs for Samsung devices may be true for some Devs but there will always be others to step in to the beach.

As for the S2; it's well passed its shelf life, it's been superceded by newer, better devices and Samsung don't care about releasing sources. Live with it.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Call me too optimistic but I'll only believe if it's said by an official source ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
It's true we have to live with it.

Samsung don't care about release the code.

And S2 already had it's time.

I'm waiting for Nexus news. I'm hoping on a good Nexus 5 being released.

If I didn't find a buyer for my remaining S2. It will be a good phone to test all kind of things on it.
[Galaxy S II General] Lirkaren:

Yes, Anonymous would help! I'm sure it's a worthy cause to add to their list of targets for their hactivism activities.

Or how about the SEA? I mean, they should channel their energy in to other things than the cause of pro-Syrian government propaganda.

Then again, why don't we all stop deluding ourselves and be content with the fact that we've had a pretty good run with the S2 when it comes to updates, better than other manufacturers in fact and it'll be soon time to move on to better and more powerful handsets.
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
What updates?

I bought this phone because all the things Samsung promised. Or you don't remember that?

If Samsung gets away with this others will do it too.

Samsung must be an example!

And who talk about attack Samsung like anonymous ?

Saying the truth about all their lies on social networks isn't a attack. It's just the truth.

Let's start by select the networks.

Twitter, Facebook, g+.

Maybe creating a YouTube channel for gathering videos about Samsung isn't a bad idea, too.

And you must not forget that it there still exists CM of this device is because lot of people bought this phone, making a huge community. Most of them bought it because of Samsung support promises.

Of course we must move one! But move one to another manufacturer and warn people about Samsung.

Some people around here must be Samsung PR personal!

[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
With the news of Samsung Galaxy S4 'Google Edition', I think we can forget about the release of the code.
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
You think!

Although I don't draw the same conclusion as you I'd say any source release is a write off.

Samsung want you to spend money on their new wizz-bang phone.

They don't make money by supporting their old phone stock or earning Kudos from the dev scene.

I'm sorry, I'm not a fanboy or cheerleader for Samsung but I am a realist. Samsung only care about sales and the balance sheet. Any hope that they'll step up to the plate and honour their promise is folly.

[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
Yes I think we are still like we have most CM > 10

Mostly devs work!

And if this device will still get upgrades in the future it will be thank to them.

I regret to be a owner of a device with exynos inside it.

But it's my last one! I still had success on selling my other Samsung family devices,

It's embarrassing when you tell someone that it will be great and they feel cheated.

I can survive with CM night builds but they don't.

So for now I'm still on the boat.
[Galaxy S II General] Jgjd691995:
should we try asking the partners if they have any problem with the source code?? http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/Exynos/partners.html
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
After the news of the new S4 AOSP I lost all my faith on this.
[Galaxy S II General] Lirkaren:
I lost my faith in this before the end of 2012 when they promised to release the sources...
[Galaxy S II General] gabboman:
Wich one could be the one who does not want to be released? It would be interesting making a massive mail asking them to help sam to release (deep voice) THE CODE
[Galaxy S II General] Lirkaren:
According to Samsung it is to protect other phonemanufacturers that use Exynos if you can belive ther FB post... I don't sense it would help the manufacturers sell more devices if the sources was released, I think.

But it would be interesting if we got contact with the other partners who work with Samsung to see if they have a problem with releasing the sources.
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
They would probably care even less than Samsung does about the issue.
[Galaxy S II General] matthewgwilt:
Sony here I come!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] :
It's "Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!" and not "Tell us what phone you're moving to". Anyways, much fun with your Sony device.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I'm surprised this thread is still active, I moved on to the Nexus 4 and it's the best decision I made, of course there are many great alternative like the S4 Snapdragon version, HTC One, I'm referring to the the consumer versions not Google Edition since you can install AOSP or use the Touchwiz/Sense, either learn to live with it or move on
[Galaxy S II General] merquise:
Thanks assasione for your invaluable contribution to the thread..
[Galaxy S II General] BBsan2k:
In my opinion this behaviour of Samsung makes a lot of sense for their Business Strategy. They know that the Hardware of the S2 is still capable of running at least 2 more Generations of Android. If they DID release the Sources, they definetely cannibalized the sales of their newer flagships.

I know you folks are hating iOS for being closed source so badly, but actually they continue to update Even 2009 Devices (3GS) till now. Of course, these Devices aren't state of the art anymore, but they still do their Job reliably.

There should be a general rethinking of al Android Manufacturers to release driver Sources at least after their Update EOL for Devices, but as long as the global players (and I don't exclude Apple in that) are still THAT profit oriented, there won't be no good in this crappy mobile OS Areas -.-
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
The S2 hardware is still very capable! I do everything on mine!

I even read books on it sometimes with moonreader! :laugh:

I am trying to sell my last one S2 and move on.

I successfully sell my mother and father S2!

That was very good! Because they bought it with my advice! And they were tired of this s***!
[Galaxy S II General] ata1918:
What does it matter anyway? The Custom-rom installers are like a mere procentage of the actual users and then an even smaller percentage use AOSP, how would this hurt their sales? Their main target is the bunch of sheep Samsung have created just like Apple have. And besides, guys like us on XDA are the ones who recommend phones to their noob friends. Samsung should just have a look at Sony, and should stop with these false promises.

Typed from my Mako.
[Galaxy S II General] chrcol:
well I am not sure it will help that much.

eg. the s3 mini has no exynos but has had no interest from any CM devs.

Plus here is where I am confused.

CM made roms for exynos phones for GB and 4.0 ICS.

All of a sudden its suddenly a problem to make roms for JB, why? What makes Jb diff to ICS/GB on exynos?

How are others managing to make roms for exynos devices thats stopping CM?

Why cant they use precompiled modules already on stock roms?

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

It seems CM have lost the plot somewhat.

they shouldnt even consider 10.2 until every device has 10.1 stable.
[Galaxy S II General] AndDiSa:
The problem with not having the sources: your interfaces are fixed, you cannot modify the communication to the underlying hardware and so you cannot push the hardware to it's limits. Probably you will need to write some wrappers when a new Android version is changing some hardware layer and this may lead to sluggish system behaviour. Nothing which is unsolvable, but not the way one would like to work.
[Galaxy S II General] BBsan2k:
Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you, especially because I told my father to buy the i9100.

But I think this COULD really become an issue for Samsung, because if the sources were completely available, us XDA people recommended "OLD" phones like the i9100 because of the "cheap" price compared to newer Hardware.

Thus it COMPLETELY makes sense Samsung is breaking their promises.

Problem with Sony is kind of the same:

Look at the XPS, which, according to Sony, they wanted to maintain a "Nexus" Branch.

Now look at it again:

FXP nearly dropped Support entirely on the XPS, no nightlys for XPS from CM, even AOKP and MIUI dropped it for now. You see: Those 2011/2012 devices are cursed :X
[Galaxy S II General] Taranis:
Now I see what manufacturers are going to do. They will release clean Android versions of their phones and they will prevent compiling and installing own Android ROMs from AOSP sources (by using weird standards and not releasing sources). In that way we'll get clean Android, but it will be hard to make AOSP ROMs. This would increase smartphone's sale. We'll see.
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
So if you want use AOSP ROMs you have only one choice!

Buy a Nexus device.

I think this is the right thing to do!
[Galaxy S II General] :
But sometimes that's not the only criteria. I also want it to be small/handy + battery friendly (= screen not bigger than 4,3 inches) with extendable storage and removable battery. That would be great. The smaller the better - unfortunately the current trend is the opposite =/

So, I pretty like my S2 and the software that currently runs on it (signature). Sources would make it perfect though :)
[Galaxy S II General] chrcol:
or rather if you want new AOSP roms, I have discovered myself both ICS and JB are somewhat overhyped and I find myself actually prefering GB.

The problem with nexus devices is they are ultimately inferior phones, no swapping battery/storage and no physical buttons. The only superior hardware element is the built in notification led.

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

yes if you see my current sig, my original plan is to go with the S3.

But I think its now likely I will make an S2 my new main phone. The S2 is easily powerful enough, especially on Gb its lightning fast. The stock battery on it also seems to last as long as the one in my ace (after some tuning). Plus S2 has the advantage that it can run GB roms (unlike new phones). I will buy a new S2 if I do this tho as the one I am using is too worn.
[Galaxy S II General] Taranis:
What do you see so great in GB ROMs? JB 4.2.2 is perfect on S2.
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
Maybe is a Samsung worker saying to suck it up! GB is good enough for you people!
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
Yes, suck it up. Gingerbread is good enough for you S2 scum and don't you forget it.
