[Galaxy S II General] Scarface1991:
EDIT 25.11.13

The experimental Build with the new exynos sources works fine on the S3 and improves on graphics related stuff. There are some things that are broken but I hope those issues can be ironed out.

If someone wants to try it out, it can be downloaded here (FOR S3 I9300 ONLY):

EDIT 19.11.13

Samsung dropped an insignal Update for the Exynos 4412 devices which can be used with AOSP. It's hard to implement but thanks to the brilliant developers at XDA there is hope. Check this out from the Omni Thread:

The Test build is going to be for the I9300 but since the S2 has an almost identical SoC it's not far behind if everything works out for the I9300. It's great news and that's what we need :)

Before 2013:

EDIT

Until now there was a lot of talk from Samsung but everything they released so far is useless for AOSP. They promised full availability of Exynos Source Code by the end of 2012. Let`s see if this time they can keep their promise or if it will be just talk like in the past with the eMMC Super-Brick issue.

Now let`s hope they really mean it and that they don`t open up something useless...

Nevertheless I`m glad that we accomplished something.

This thread is the equivalent to the one in the SIII Forums and not my idea. AntonLiv92 started the thread to inform people where they can write personal concerns to Samsung, so they will release the source code and proper documentation for Exynos based devices and as you probably all know our SII is based on Samsung`s Exynos 4210 processor.

This thread will inform you people where to contact Samsung, so that we get their attention or as codeworkx said:

So our goal is to get Samsung`s attention by writing as many concerns as possible of missing source code to Samsung. Of course it`s also important what you write, so it`s not just a big noob campaign asking for the Source Code. Codeworkx made a list of what is needed:

You can find a done letter that you can copy and paste more down below.

There are other signs that this might go somewhere, since this concern is reported now on several popular Android-blogs like Androidcentral and sites like XDA Developers, which will lead to even bigger popularity on this issue.

They also contacted the CM team:

Here is also a great video that summarizes this whole mess about Samsung and Exynos:

It is also recommended to tip popular news-blogs like Engadget or the Verge, so maybe they write about us and what we try to accomplish.

I thought that this thread might be a good idea, since we have one of the biggest userbases on the Android-platform.

Now you guys know what to do ;)

Big thanks to AntonLiv92 for letting me use the contact links in my thread :)
