This is both unofficial and official. It's unofficial for the reasons you posted above. However, it's official in the sense that Pete asked for devs for the other devices to compile the ROM for the respective communities since he doesn't have the devices nor the time to do it himself. In other words, don't expect Pete himself to compile BB for Toroplus.

Those of you that may have been waiting for the wingray version will be disappointed. The system image is too large for the device. I will see if there might be some tweaks I can do easily to fix this but for now, this version is on hold indefinitely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v3rk:
that's a serious, and odd, shame! thanks so much for trying, though. i just run my xoom on stock, it seems best for now.

btw, what are the odds that we're from the same town and have the same devices?:D

We all know how hard it is for developers as codeworkx, Entropy512, and XpLoDWilD to work on Exynos devices such as the I9300 Galaxy S III. The reason for this difficulty is the lack of proper sources & documentation for the Exynos SoC. What Samsung release is kernel source, and a few parts of the platform source that aren't actually modified or really critical. The goal of this thread is to convince Samsung to release the needed sources & documentation for the Exynos SoC!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Write a request asking Samsung to release the needed sources & documentation for Exynos devices:

It is also highly recommended to create inquiry in the OSRC:

[Galaxy S III General] justnoone:
Instead of could you please use

* may we request your good office to release the full documentations *

but somehow if its patented, they have the right not to release it.

just sharing some information guys.

If i am wrong, i am glad to be corrected...
[Galaxy S III General] ManCityFC:
Correct, nobody is getting hurt and nobody will lose any sleep over it at Samsung......but it might just get them talking about it. If you keep doing this for long enough, they will at least issue a response. If that response is "you can have it soon, but not now" then fine, at least we know. But the dev's have all contacted Samsung in Korea and been given either a bum-steer or a point-blank NO!

We are only being the equivalent of a fly that is flying around your head. If you want it to go away, you swat it, spray it, or open the door and let it on its merry way.

Marketing people hate negativity. They want a positive platform to work on - not people posting arguments as to why not to buy their products. They can delete the posts, and then we re-post them. Eventually we will get some form of response.

To those who disagree with this action, if there is another way, do let us in on it, and we'll all try it willingly no-doubt.

I've run out of 'Thanks' to everybody who has helped and supplied links to pages. So 'Thanks' to you all. :cool:

Got a response from Samsung Sweden!

Samsung Sweden: Hi Johan, we are happy to hear that you like our Galaxy S III! :) Have you already been to the Samsung Developers site? You can take a look at it in here: http://developer.samsung.com/home.do. Hope it helps! // Immu
[Galaxy S III General] sharingan92:
Good point but if we were to spread this everywhere possible including all forums here on xda for devices that have the exynos chip and keep at it and not let this die we might convince samsung that releasing the source would be a good move (hopefully.......)
[Galaxy S III General] :
Can you start one? With a specific description of the Exynos issue?

I don't want to do it myself because my english is bad...
[Galaxy S III General] sharingan92:
Never really been good at statements but if you can refer me to a statement i can use i would happily start the petition
[Galaxy S III General] :
I'm still waiting for codeworkx to write a professional statement with all the technical details. Let's hope he'll do it... :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] sharingan92:
Agreed i dont samsung realises how loyal we would all be if the source is released
[Galaxy S III General] luizffgarcia:
IMO, the best thing to do is just not use their phones...

I bought a S3 and i am selling it, i will get the LG Optimus G or the Nexus and never go back to Samsung phones again. I bet if the developers community abandon Samsung phones they would take it more seriously than a petition!

As someone said here in XDA before, we the community are the ones selling Android phones to iSheeps and noobs, i won't sell one single S3 to anyone anymore, enough is enough!!!
[Galaxy S III General] ghostofcain:
My understanding is LG aren't particularly forthcoming either. Face it manufacturers aren't going to release, what they consider, sensitive documentation unless they feel it's in their best interest. By all means boycott Samsung but to be honest they don't really care about us were small fry.
[Galaxy S III General] :
I completely agree with you. I understand that what we're doing is wrong and unprofessional. I want to do that the right way - make a petition in change.org (and not like the old one, but one with a specific explanation of what we need from the Exynos sources), and start a website like someone suggested earlier.

What I need for this is a developer that knows this stuff and will write the petition in the most professional way possible. I asked codeworkx to write it... still waiting for his answer...
[Galaxy S III General] piratemurray:
I understand your position but respectfully disagree. I don't think we are bombarding their media sources. We are being quite specific with our request. OP states what libraries and documentation is important to this community and we are merely exercising our right to request them.

We're not asking for carte blanche on proprietary information just a reasonable level of parity with other chip makers so we may better the ROM making community for the i9300.

It is of course your right to disagree and we respect that.
[Galaxy S III General] wolfboy1984:
What people are doing here may not be 'in the spirit' of XDA. But what Samsung are doing is not 'in the spirit' of Android. And I've 'lost my spirit' to buy another Samsung product.

Understanding Samsungs position is quite easy. Understanding disillusioned end users views here, is also quite easy. Letting Samsung know how we feel as end users, as it turns out- is also quite easy.

Nearly all people here recognise any sort of real victory is highly unlikely. But that does not detract or deter from the real effort that many have put in. Letting Samsung know users views, using their own lines of communication won't hurt or affect anyone. And whether it's a personally composed message or a copy and paste job, in my view, is irrelevant. It is numbers that matters.

Ultimately, we can only let them know our views using dollars, pounds and euros...

And thats what I plan to do.
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
Not bombarding their media sources? Every one of their Facebook and other social media outlets are mentioned in here and you all are banging your collective drums to spread this insanity. You may be quite specific, but your specifics are quite crap. You have no right to request anything - show me where this 'right' you speak of exists and maybe you'd have a point.

And yes, you are asking for carte blanche on proprietary information - there's nothing reasonable here, because you're asking for things that you have no idea what to do with. Will the OP, or 99.9% of the people on here know what to do with anything that they would get? NO. You would have to pass it onto those who are informed and know their ****. You're not bettering the ROM-making community at all. You're giving it a bad name, and I can't think of one well-respected Recognized and Elite Recognized Developer, not to mention the powers-that-be at XDA, who support this crap shoot. Those who know what they are doing, ala xPlodWild, codeworkx, Entropy512, AdamOutler, Cyanogen, have all requested direct from the source, i.e. Engineering, etc. and they have been turned down. If you think a bunch of 20-something just out of college marketing weenies are going to get it for you, then you are smoking something I wish you share with the rest of us.

Letting them know through monetary means is the only way that will make a difference - you are correct. Letting them know through social media rants will always fall on deaf ears, because those are always viewed as drivel by the decision makers. The bottom line is what they worry about, and that is monetary. They're selling over 20 million of these devices - I think they are doing just fine not listening and that's how they're going to view it.
[Galaxy S III General] wolfboy1984:
Letting Samsung know end users views hurts or affects no one.

Apart from your deluded sense of self worth it would seem...
[Galaxy S III General] jerdog:
Thank you for understanding this. Please stop this insanity by editing your OP and changing the tone of this.
[Galaxy S III General] egzthunder1:
You do not think you are bombarding Samsung? Every person in this thread has posted and reposted the same message over and over again throughout their FB pages worldwide, their Twitter accounts, etc. In fact (taken straight out of the OP)

Maybe I should have used "flood" as opposed to "bombard" to make my statement even more accurate. Not only are you not being specific on what you need, but you are asking for the wrong things altogether.

Your second paragraph denotes precisely what I stated in my post though. The information regarding the chip will not allow you to make "better roms". The information that you are requesting is so low level that only a few people will be able to make good use of it. What you guys are requesting in reality (and this has been confirmed over and over every time someone mentions something specific) are libs and modules that are not that related to the documentation being requested, but rather to proprietary code distributed under Apache license, which does not require the IP holder to release sources.
[Galaxy S III General] :
Will be done when I have my netbook around (I can't edit it from the phone)...
[Galaxy S III General] egzthunder1:
Define the "spirit of Android". Aside from the Verizon fluke of the locked bootloader on the SGS3, Samsung has been one of the most developer oriented manufacturers around when it comes to mobile devices. The so called spirit of Android is to have an open platform where to develop and better it by contributions from people and industry alike. They provide kernel sources in a timely manner and lets not forget about the fact that they are (out of all the manufacturers of Android devices), the fastest ones to put out major OS updates, in spite of their contractual obligations with the carriers. That is on top of having unlocked bootloaders for all of you to play around with the internals of Android. So, with sources out, unlocked bootloaders, and updates in a somewhat timely manner, I fail to see where Samsung is lacking the spirit of Android.

No one is saying otherwise...

Bombarding, flooding, or overall spamming does hurt people. In your own view, you have only posted a message for someone handling the PR outlets to view, but when a few hundred people post, the task and work required to monitor these outlets increases 100 fold. You are thus preventing the person in charge of these outlets from answering other people's concerns, thus wasting his/her/their time in the process.

If you truly believe that spamming doesn't hurt anyone, I'll tell you what... we will start bombarding your inbox or FB account wall with cialis pills advertising in the attempt that we may be able to sell you some, or get you to click on the links in attempts to get your personal information. Lets see if you can stand it for longer than 5 minutes... IRL, I personally manage inquiries for my company, and we get bots filling out forms continuously (captcha required, I know.... still trying to convince IT to do it), it takes away from MY time to manage other aspects of my job to go through these and delete them over and over and over and over and over again.... day in and day out. So, does it take away from my time and annoy and hurt my company in the process? Absolutely.

You are correct, the method of delivery is irrelevant. It is an annoyance either way. However, there are ways to do things in a more professional manner and this isn't it...

Good luck...

i've read a lot and i'm so confused, which phone should i buy? a Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S3? first samsung didn't release the full source code for the exynos and second GNex has dual-core 1.2Ghz so in a half of next year it will be obsolete or that device will not have to much support from part of cyanogenmod and developers for example paranoid

[Galaxy S III General] mputtr:
doesn't really say if it's good or bad since it doesn't state if they're using the exynos 4 or 5 chip and also doesn't state if sony would have full access (although they probably will, but they would also have a NDA which would legally prohibit them from releasing it.)

<insert funny sarcastic joke about the papers in my mothers hair salon in similarity to this>
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
Don't mistake public availability with customer availability. It's a dead beat argument.

As for Sony using it, I don't see why not. Samsung will lose Apple to TSMC soon enough and they will need to fill that manufacturing capacity. The rumor also might have roots in the phone having a Samsung manufactured NovaThor chip, but since ST-Ericsson are splitting up their partnership that ship also seems on rough seas.

[Galaxy S III General] mputtr:
I don't remember them ever mentioning 12th of December at any point or time. it seems to be some members who made up a date and "threaten" to buy n4 phones and tell all their family and friends and cousins twice removed not to buy samsung phones anymore.

somehow the date got mixed up to be a fake official date.

the gossip phenomenon. information gets twisted and changed as it passes from one person to another.
[Galaxy S III General] stefankorun:
Now that Google and LG failed in the sales/shipment department with the N4 i think Samsung is way more confident about leaving Exynos closed.
