4.99" was because of the rumoured S Amoled full HD to be released by Samsung. Even though some reports say it'll have home button, I hope not. Xperia Z has 5 inch screen too, but with on screen buttons, it's almost 4.7-8inch usable (I mean content). Source? Two reliable sites,

1 - http://www.gsmarena.com/rumor_samsung_to_show_a_499_1080p_super_amoled_at_ces-news-5088.php

2 - http://www.bgr.in/manufacturers/sam...could-sport-a-4-99-inch-1080p-amoled-display/

(No more off topic S4 discussion from my side)

And regarding thread, it's not by Samsung haters but Samsung users, at the stage it was created, CM was broken, and we had no hope for 4.2 :) But then devs showed their magic.

Make a viral youtube video with a cover of Michael Jackson song, they don't care about us. Changing it to Samsung why u don't care about us.

With lot of people making lip singing! Some of the devs perhaps!
[Galaxy S II General] Kaiserbenn:
Why asking? Just do it if you thing it's right.

But I think you can forget it. S2 is 2 years old... And there will soon be 2 flagship phones released since. They just don't care about their customers. Spend your money with others companies.
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

To be honest I don't like the approach of Samsung with aosp but you can't deny a truth

Samsung does support its devices the longest compared to any other Android manufacturer I mean galaxy s2 is seeing the 3rd version of android

Samsung still hasn't officially said anything about dropping it while nexus s a Google device was dropped after the 3rd major updates
[Galaxy S II General] :
Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

They should just give us source codes and forget on i9100...

Who else wants touchwized 4.2.x ?!?!
[Galaxy S II General] Kaiserbenn:
Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

They just take android and make it worse. Less performance, poor GUI... OK third android version after one year and a half, that should be the very minimum of what a company should do to support its flagship phone. Maybe it's better than the other manufacturers but one year and a half is not so long for a 650€ tech gadget.

But the problem is they were supposed to be devs friendly and they're not. By releasing the sources they should have extend the support of the phone by the community for at least few android versions. But they screwed us, never doing what they did promise...
[Galaxy S II General] :
I can't change phone before 2014 :( but if samsung don't release sources for i9100 and other models i will buy a new phone but it will not be samsung... maybe Sony or Nexus device, Samsung NO!
[Galaxy S II General] ata1918:
Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

No dude. If you want the upcoming versions of android you're ought to buy a S2+, S3mini or the upcoming S3+. Samsung are done with our i9100. I don't think they'll ever update their Git for Exynos 4212, so no sources or whatsoever.

Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

So much negative vibe in this thread..have you all forgotten the threads name? It's "Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!" , not "forget about it", "find another phone", etc..

Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

Dude I already did everything suggested on first post! Even with facebook accounts of friends and family and other emails.

I think the people on PR can't do nothing!

It's the way it is!

Forget Samsung!

But now that Samsung released S 4 a lot of complaints on social networks it will be bad for them!

Edit:

lol

I had made a few posts on Samsung mobile on g+ about the lack of support of Samsung.

And that they only want to sell sell

And they removed me!

AW: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

As long as Samsung has the intention to publish "new" phones on the same hardware-/software basis as the S2 (like the I9100P now) I do not expect that they will publish the sources. Probably there is a chance some time in the future when these products are at the end of their life time ...

Just my 2¢ :)
[Galaxy S II General] Kaiserbenn:
No chance. They already have forget the s2... Since the day they released it.
[Galaxy S II General] Lirkaren:
I got a response from samsung after spaming there facebook page for days with the same question.

"Where are the Exynos 4 sources and documentation that you promissed to release by the end of 2012?

And what is up with you saying that you support developers? If you support the developers as you claim then release the promissed sources that the devs need and have been asking for.

I can't wait to the day I get a Sony device and can throw my pice of c*ap S3 in the garbage.

You should look at Sony and learn somthing about how to support the developers instead of looking at apple and do anything to stop the developers."

"Samsung Support HI Sara, I apologize for the frustration! Please reach out to opensource.samsung.com or twitter.com/samsungdevs for this information. Thank you!"

I guess we will never get the sources :(
[Galaxy S II General] NaLogo:
AW: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

His point is that most other manufacturers don't even bother upgrading their "old" devices to ICS or JB. And he's absolutely right.

Edit: SamMobile btw just tweeted that the Galaxy S2 will get Android 4.2.2 as well.

Yes, that doesn't change the "source situation", but saying that they don't release Upgrades is an entirely false statement.
[Galaxy S II General] Bruaca:
Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

With the release of S4 now is the right time to spam Samsung on every social networks!

The right time for a true holly war for our promised and deserved support. When you're selling a new product you don't what old customers complaining about you!
[Galaxy S II General] Lirkaren:
Maybe we should start new threads in both the S2 and S3 forum telling people to start writing on Samsung's FB pages and Twitter about the sources. Like you said, now is a good time to complain when the S4 is about to be released.

And sitting quiet and wait will make good guy Samsung care and release the sources? It has been next to quiet the last 3½ months and we have not got a response from Samsung.

Isn't the reason that we got Samsung to promise us the sources the bad pr they got from us on social networks? The chanses to get the sources is bigger if we do something rather then sit quiet.

The S4 won't get supportet by CyanogenMod sense the lack of sources.

[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

Buggered if I know so I won't offer analysis but if I had to make some Ill informed comment then I would say he would like to help but he is either bound by employee confidentiality agreements and can't help or else he took the money and doesn't give a ****. Or he's working from the inside to release the Exynos 4 source or he doesn't give two ****s.

I figure the source will be released any day now.
[Galaxy S II General] Lirkaren:
Why do you think that?
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

Seriously!

Listen, enough of these lavender Facebook campaigns, end the Twatter posts and banish thoughts of an Anonymous style attack on Samsung. What we need is everyone who wants the source to pony up $100,000 each so we can purchase a license for Exynos.

It's the only thing that will do the trick as money is the only thing Samsung care about.

So, who's first to lay the cash down then?
[Galaxy S II General] gazdajezda:
Me! My money will go to Sony for instance and not for buying an exynos source... Just forget Samsung, i believe we all already know why. Just *uck them! I know this post is some how destimulating, but i fell it that way. Maybe they will somehow release the source, but i think it will be too late for us here - we will most likely all have new phones at that time.

You still didn't explain why you think the Exynos sources will be released any day now.

Do you seriously want me to explain to you that I was being a tad sarcastic with my OP!

Now please, let it go. I don't know what you want from me, some kind of response or maybe an answer to your Exynos prayers but you're like a dog with a bone; an annoying, uncomprehending dog who won't leave the big ****ing bone alone!

Time is money!

Haven't we loose a lot of it waiting from a promise?

Now is payback time!

Soon I will have my nexus 4.

But Samsung must pay for his actions!

They must be an example for others.

Dropping down S4 sells is the best way!

And S4 is almost about software improvements! Don't make any sense for Samsung release code for alternative products?

They will keep saying some day and throws a bone from time to time just to make us quiet.

My S2 is still a good phone! But I bought it having in mind all the promises that Samsung made.

For an such expensive gadget I had lost money.

With that amount of money I could bought two Nexus 4.

I don't understand that some people are still defending Samsung.

They didn't fail the costumers of S2 and S3?

And you still keep defending them?

Re: Push Samsung to release Exynos Source Code!

Steve works for Samsung USA on qualcom based devices

Exynos is dealt by Samsung Korea and they don't keep contact with other

They work in secrecy

There have been past events as mentioned by entropy where a samsung employee just couldn't tip cm team because of corporate secrecy

Remember people value their day job more than what they value a hobby they do in their free time for free

If the rumors of next nexus having qualcom 800 are true I will be jumping on it, just hope they provide a 32gb version too

Forget about sources its not happening we might be lucky enough if the drivers released for future s3 firmwares stay usable on our s2 but given team hacksung frustration we might not get anything

[Galaxy S II General] AndDiSa:
What to you want to reach with those actions? Either Samsung holds their promises and they provide us with the source code, or they have their reasons (probably copyright / patent / ... related) not to do so. You will not change anything by blaming / overwhelming them with emails / etc. In contrary, most likely they never again will provide us with sources. Wait until they stop to provide us with new ROMs (JB 4.2.2 is still on the run) most likely when they do no longer support our devices they will publish the code. Just my 2¢.

[Galaxy S II General] skiflyer:
people. if YOU are talking in this (in my opinion) very important thread, to which phones you may change after your i9100, then we will never have the source code we want to have.

we need a day, a date, on which we flood/spam/bomb samsung with tweets, facebook wall entries, emails, support contacts and so on. like codeworkx said it. if 100.000 people do something, then they will react. so just count how much people are here on xda. if you just cry out things like sammy is sh!t, they should do, i will never buy samsung again blah blah - then we will never see one single piece of the exynos source code.

so: to the mods, to the whole community. find out a date on which we try to get samsung's attention. samsung is a just a company, depending on us i9100 owners. let's show them what a community is capable of!

Spamming and trolling... It's an idea. Not the best one, not the worst one.

Somebody wrote, that it's too late, maybe not. It's an 'old' device now, who wanted to buy a new phone already did that and we, here at xda, are just a small % of all the Samsung users. They didn't released source codes before showing S3 or S4 and that's ok, they wanted us to upgrade. But now, it'd would be a nice gesture from them to support users that dont want or dont have the money to upgrade.

Maybe we can try to use that argument? Along with spamming ;) Insults or harsh responses.. won't do much good. They'll see us as stupid kids with ADHD...

PS: I don't know, maybe their code is that ugly that the last developer became blind from working on it and they just want to save us from that ;)

PS 2: I think it's a good idea to remind them that they promised to release HAL sources for camera etc, like "you promised but havn't done it. why should we trust you and buy your devices?"
[Galaxy S II General] snalfio:
great idea
[Galaxy S II General] robertogl:
I'm my opinion, we have to use blog, our blog or any blog (or youtube channel, or xda, or Twitter) that can collaborate to diffuse this initiative. Then we can send mail. This because they can easily delete a lot of inconvenient mail, but they can't close blog and stop the news. If a lot of people will now that Samsung doesn't provide source code, maybe Samsung will think about it, but if they will receive only mail or tweet, they will ignore us.
