Hello Xda!

Sad news for Samsung Users Here!

Every new phone from samsung that is comming out now will get no longer support from Cyanogenmod mostly the devices with a Exynos chip designed by samsung. get no more support!

Samsung said on twitter that The are taking this case very seriously!

Why is Cyanogenmod stopping with support for samsung devices?

The following reasons:

- FM-radio will never work

- Exynos Chip

- On jelly bean (Vsync and tripple buffering) will never work because the graphical drivers do not support this!

But there is some good news All samsung devices that are Out now will get support from Cyanogenmod!

only the devices that are coming out now will get no Cyanogenmod!

This is the problem when manufacturers stray too far away from the core Android ecosystem. Their product may be good but things stop working, people get annoyed. Eventually the sales will drop and customers will get the usual things.
[Android General] safariking:
This is just the stupidest thing that samsung could do!

It doesn't mean that there point blank won't be any Exynos support, unfortunately 2 out of 3 main Samsung Cyanogen maintainers are not gonna support it anymore. The biggest issue is that unless Samsung improve / update their documentation, any new developer will have the same issues.

Most of the current Exynos maintainer team (myself, espenfjo, codeworkx) and others have all decided that our current devices will be our last non-Nexus Exynos devices. I'm not sure about xplodwild, but I have a feeling he's highly unlikely to take up another Haxxinos with the rest of us gone and given his prior experiences with it.

If Samsung changes their attitude towards developers, this might change, but their attitude lately (zero documentation, zero platform source code, a trend towards bootloader locking - Only the Verizon S3 has a locked bootloader now, but Samsung has had the infrastructure in place since the S2 and they are constantly adding more checks) has led to the current Exynos maintainer team deciding that enough is enough. I don't think any of us are going to do anything to make Samsung's Exynos devices more attractive to any particular market segment until they provide assistance (in the form of technical documentation and source code) in return. I don't know about the others, but if they offer me a free device I'll say no - I refuse to participate in a PR stunt like the I9100 donations were.

Pretty much the only way I'll go back is if I see reference platform source that is up to the same standards as CAF and omapzoom, or they actually start providing real documentation and source code for the devices I'm currently working with.
[Android General] zild8:
too bad for samsung!!!!
[Android General] Turbotab:
Not really, in the short-term at least, we geek/hackers/devs etc are but a small slice of the market. I bet Google would not mind Samsung losing favor with dev community, more people on Nexus phones!
[Android General] ErvinJohnEstrera:
So sad because as ive read, 50% of android phones comes with samsung. :cowboy:
[Android General] safariking:
Yes but then i will go over to htc
[Android General] safariking:
Hackers and devs will port than cm to the non supported devices but it will be a more difficulter job!
[Android General] Sorensiim:
So how does this jive with the fact that Steve Kondik, founder of CyanogenMod, works for Samsung?
[Android General] Beefcake_:
Maybe that's why no more CM on future Samsung phones? Could be conflict of interest, or was asked to cease and desist or lose his job?
[Android General] merovig:
did it already, samsungs poltics sucks more and more i guess. and their devices getting bigger and more popular, that's maybe why they don't need us anymore; their devices are more and more for mass-market :x
[Android General] safariking:
Yes that's true but Samsung is so slow with their updates i had to wait 6 months for my ICS upgrade on my Galaxy Tab 8.9!
[Android General] Mattix724:
Slow? The Sprint Galaxy S2 has been getting ICS leaks since February... We have had 3 official ICS releases since then. JB builds are in the works now.

If anything, we may get our updates a few months after AOSP, but that's because of TouchWiz. Samsung support has been great in my opinion.
[Android General] lowandbehold:
Steve Kondik works for Samsung USA and according to the other thread works more closely with the Qualcomm chips. Samsung HQ in Korea are the ones responsible for not releasing the Exynos source code.
[Android General] Turbotab:
The whole issue with Samsung HQ in Korea reminds me of both Sony and Toyota, who refused to listen to their foreign offices and ended suffering because of it. Sony lost their dominate position in the consumer tech business. Toyota spent $2.4 Billion trying to win a Formula 1 title, and didn't even win a bloody race!, Red Bull spent a fraction of that and have won 2 F1 titles, it safe to assume that Toyota doesn't lack engineering skill, but their Japanese HQ refused to relinquish control to the F1 experts running their race team, which meant everything became corporate and decision by committee and they lost the ability to react quickly / take risk.

The whole issue revolves around cultural differences between the Far East and the West, who are far more hierarchical and interested in being conservative and committee-led to avoid the loss of face (respect), this can bring benefits in terms of stability, but in fast moving economies having a dynamic risk taking leader, for example Steve Jobs can reap huge benefits, as you can execute far quicker and gain market dominance, btw I can't imagine Steve Jobs caring what people thought of him, the Toyota Executives cried in public because of the F1 disaster!.

The US economy has boomed because of this leadership style, even when its technology was no better or even worse than the Japanese for example, i.e GM vs Honda, of course the Credit Crunch, Enron and Wall Street greed / fraud are good examples of the negative aspects of Western business leadership

Anyway, Sammobile has a good article about the problem with Samsung's software updates.

With incomplete / inaccurate documentation / driver blobs the end result will always be buggier and less feature packed than stock Samsung, e.g. Project Butter (HW Composer) doesn't work properly on GS3 Exynos Cyanogenmod because of the above issues, what is the point of Jelly Bean without lots of butter:laugh: The current sammy CM team are really good, I doubt anybody else could do better with the current restrictions.:crying:
[Android General] a.cid:
^this guy knows what he's talking about... :thumbup::good:

When I read the first page, there was plenty of stuff that I wanted to point, but I guess he covered it all up... ;)

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Man and Knife"
[Android General] safariking:
Samsung still has great phones and even the new ones we are able to hack it!

I know that for sure!
[Android General] a.cid:
Ya, but the "extent" to which it can be clean hacked gets limited...

Even a year down the line, Samsung will still have unofficial CM builds...but they will be buggy or their true potential will not be realised...

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Man and Knife"
[Android General] Cryss:
Sad news for them because most of phones and DONATORS are from Samsung users ... so ... !!!
[Android General] Turbotab:
A potential ray of sunshine is the rumored Samsung Nexus Tablet, with a better than iPad 3 resolution of 2560 x 1600, why? Well, Samsung used a Qualcomm SoC in a Nexus device before, but this time I believe they will use their own Exynos, probably the 5450. They will need a ultra powerful GPU to power such a high resolution and the Mali T604 or T658 in their upcoming Exynos is sufficiently powerful.

If this happens, Sammy will be forced to open-source all the required drivers / kernels / documents to the Google Nexus standard, making development for any phones with the same chips, much easier, finally Samsung might learn that doing so, won't cause Godzilla to ravage their Headquarters:silly:

Would any Cyanogenmod devs be tempted to develop for a Arm 15 Exynos, if it was part of the Nexus program?

[Android General] Marchintosh:
Then the Galaxy Note II is excluded, really?
[Android General] housekey:
its a matter of time before someone gets the coding down. everyone just needs to relax... or learn how to code.
[Android General] XpLoDWilD:
We're not doing this for money. We're doing this because it's a fun hobby, and it's becoming less and less fun.

Yes, as long as it's the same tedious process to work with. At least for us of Hacksung. Now if someone new wants to take the pain, feel free.

Well we have the confirmation, Nexus 10 is running an Exynos 5250 CPU. However, we have no clue if source code for this device will really be helpful for current Exynos device, or if implementation is different and thus not compatible with Exynos4 series. We can only hope that Samsung will release something for Exynos4 boards AND device-specific modules (like famous Galaxy S III camera HAL).

For now, besides some oldish low-level exynos4 stuff, we've yet to see anything new (and helpful).
[Android General] safariking:
Ehm i can read and understand it im not stupid!

So do not say i can't read!!!

I have posted this because it came from a message that ive got with the link to the site to the news so i think this is maybe important to know for people out here!

Everyone think diffrent about this!
[Android General] Entropy512:
Except that you stated the project as a whole had made some sort of official announcement - which is not true.
[Android General] Mattix724:
When Entropy512 says something, listen. He's not saying you are stupid, just that you have misinterpreted the information.

This guy knows his stuff, he does not just spew garbage and call it information. If you read any of his posts on XDA, they are all informative. If he told me that Samsung was working on a time machine... I'd believe it.
[Android General] Entropy512:
Samsung is working on a time machine and will end world hunger on January 1, 2012. (Yes, I know that's in the past... Again... TIME MACHINE!)
[Android General] LJE:
It's true... I used to be hungry

[Android General] Rakeesh_j:
Is there really an official policy that all Nexus devices must be open sourced? I thought they could only release binary blobs of certain components, such as the LTE drivers. I haven't looked too deeply into it though.

Anywhere I can read more about the Nexus program requirements?
[Android General] Entropy512:
Historically, they must be supported in AOSP, and don't expect this to change.

However, they can still be blob hell and in AOSP - If you own *that exact device* itself it doesn't matter since Google ensures the blobs work with AOSP and they are updated in a timely fashion, but it means that a given device being a Nexus may not be useful for similar devices.

See the Nexus 7 - It's blob hell, and it is not of use for bringing up AOSP on any other Tegra3 device. However, it's OK to own it because Google at least ensures the blobs on THAT device provide a good experience.

So for N10, I'm waiting for source release.

1) It could be blob hell this time around

2) Even if it is open-source, it's not likely to be useful for Exynos4.
[Android General] Hybridesque:
Same here, once bitten, twice shy.
[Android General] Gezetah:
This doesn't apply to old phones like Galaxy S or Galaxy S II right ?
[Android General] jaekidd1012:
Galaxy S? No, that phone is good.

Galaxy S2? Maybe. I'm assuming all Snapdragon-based Galaxy phones would be exempt. This applies to all Exynos 4- and maybe Exynos 5-based phones.
[Android General] Entropy512:
Galaxy S has the same chipset as the Nexus S, so it's been good for those guys to work with.

It SPECIFICALLY applies to the Galaxy S II family of devices - between Superbrick and Exynos4 being a ***** to work with, GS2-family devices (except the Qcoms) are nightmares.

None of us are purchasing any new Samsung devices, and we're pretty much at the limits of burnout with our existing devices.

Why are you posting dead deals? You should probably verify them before just posting.
[Member-Found Deals] marcustaz:
Sorry, it's only free shipping 5 off now. Had to run out of the house and forgot to edit after my order. Tuff to verify because you have to go through the entire order process. Anyway straight talk is still a deal :)

I'll edit now. Thanks
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
If you do a SIM and activation card bundle you end up getting the SIM for free still. Since you have to pay for service it makes sense to do it that way. Saves you $15 vs just the $5 when getting just a SIM.
[Member-Found Deals] scariola:
When I put in simsave code for the package with the plan and sim card it took $10 off.
[Member-Found Deals] chils41:
Yeah exactly!
[Member-Found Deals] marcustaz:

[Member-Found Deals] openwheelracing:
Dead deal? I just spent only $48 for the sim plus one month service. The sim was free and free shipping.

[Motorola Atrix 2] latetogameHD2owner:
Hi today I got the update notice on my phone, and came here and saw yes it had officially been released.

I did see a thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801257 that said some people were having issues with the leaked version of ICS and straight talk sending and receiving mms messages.

would i have the same issue with the official update and straight talk?

anyone running the official update and straight talk?

thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] brandogg:
You just need to set the APN settings. They are the same as they have always been, just in a different location, and programs like APN Backup and Restore cannot access them. It's very simple to set up...just Goolge Straight Talk APN settings Android...
[Motorola Atrix 2] latetogameHD2owner:
so it is just a matter of entering the apn settings and MMS messages will work?

I would assume the people in the quoted thread tried to enter the apn settings and were still having the issue....is that because of the leak?

thank you for the help
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] coolmen777:
Hello guys. I was recently given a MT4G Slide to flash with any custom ROM (preferably ICS), with key criteria being stability and availability of various languages (not just keyboard, but change the whole OS). The phone will be used in Russia, therefore that's the language that needs to be added. I did look at most ROMS and no one really specifies which languages if any are in the ROM. I assume most slim ROMs don't have anything other then basic english/spanish. I wanted to ask if anyone with good stable ICS ROM can check if they have the Russian in the language selection menu. I understand it will be hard to come by as this is a US-only variant, but has hoping that many one of the cooks used stock google with multiple languages pre-installed.

Also, how hard would it be to remap the hardware keyboard or has anyone seen or knows where to purchase cyrilic keyboard for the device? Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Have you looked at the morelocal2 app available in the Play Store?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] coolmen777:
Thanks, didn't know it existed at all. Perfect, that solves the multi language part. Now, will need to do some searching on hardware keyboard remapping. Appreciate your help.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Saem persun:
Hi there!

I've already adopted the keyboard for russian locale. I'll provide you some instructions a bit later, when I'll be at my home computer. I use Russian Keyboard app with Virtuos Infinity beta1 mod, and I like it a lot - it supports custom layouts via xml, language toggle with sym button, and some other perks. Stay tuned ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
First of all, this is the wrong section for creating this kind of threads.

CyanogenMod (CM 9.1) supports all bunch of languages including Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, many Asian languages and a lot more.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Saem persun:
SKAm69, CM out-of-the-box does not support localization of the hardware keyboard - a third party app is needed for that. As for UI translation, I personally prefer English UI anyway.

So... here we go.

The archive includes: keychars/keylayouts - put it to corresponding folder in /system/usr and fix permissions (root is a must!), xml file for RuKeyboard and xls table to understand which letter goes where. Everything is made and tested on an ICS rom.

I usually switch languages with single press of the sym button, shift+sym does the symbol selection popup, alt+sym gives the smiles popup window.

www./com button is mapped as a tab, alt+www. gives a "www." input, shift+www. calls web popup window.

Every keymap can be customized using these files - just lurk a little bit and make a try.
