"The reality of developers life": http://www.lordofthejars.com/2013/02/the-reality-of-developers-life.html :laugh: :D

Found it at some guy signature.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] LtDementhial:
I was checking the Z2 subforum, since it's almost a week that i last checked (i check weekly because im waiting for Android 6 to be released) i was about to close the XDA tab when nostalgia hit me.

I used my Janice until the last days of november 2014 and it's the second phone i most love and hated at the same time. It was such a hell to use most of the times, the official support was not existent, the carrier countless times fixed many issues with "in store" technical support due to the very lack of support from samsung (we fix it or we give you another one of the same model with no more warranty). The dev's were the most amazing thing i saw in the android community and at the same time, the problems "we" (users and devs) had were a thrilling rollercoaster of ups and downs (i think more downs). I remember like it was last month, the day a chinese user leaked a bunch of source code for the nova chips and it was like christmas for about 10 seconds, then dev's came out saying it was highly complicated (legally speaking) to use them, then that the sources where 95% useless in regards of OMX improvements or major breaktroughs.

A couple months after that episode and devs fighting each other (kinda) there was a momentary lapse of golden age developing. I had 13-14 months with my Janice and the thing was already falling apart, but the wide choice of roms made me use the phone almost 6 more months (quickest phone that i needed to change ever) 19-20 months i used Janice and i really do not regret at all....i just wish it had better quality. A friend of me needed a phone a few months ago and i gave him Janice with the lastets version of Carbon rom, and a few mods due to all the pyshical keys failling.

Even funnier, my girlfriend had a S3 mini and she hated it, stock was painfully slow and the dev of the S3 mini(remember those fights i mentioned?) launched daily updates with little to no improvements..

I ended up with the z2 and my gf with a Moto G 2nd gen and last week i bought her an M4 Aqua. I have 14 months with my Z2 almost and i see my self with it another 14 months at very least.

I only rooted the phone because Xposed and more recently (november) i flashed a fully stock based rom...just to have full Int.D support for my virtual machines....i really don't see the point of unlocking the bootloader right now, maybe when Android 7 gets launched and we don't have an official rom.

Hey Guys Galaxy Ace 2 got CM 13 when will we get it, well almost all developers left this phone but [MENTION=5371721]Epirex[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4982868]hastalafiesta[/MENTION] I think you guys are still working on Janice, so will our Janice be able to taste the sweetness of Marshmallow :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] DaksAnkit:
hasta stopped working on s advance due to the device having hardware issues with the latest android API getting larger and our device won`t support it, he posted bout it on his http://hastalafiesta.altervista.org/goodbye-janice/ website .
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] kilroy69:
Yes... its true. Only [MENTION=5371721]Epirex[/MENTION] is the One dev for our device. But [MENTION=4982868]hastalafiesta[/MENTION] says: "I’ll try to keep building roms (KITKAT ONLY) for it." :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] enkflr:
Hi guys!

I've recently got a Nexus 5 and kept the S Advance as a secondary phone, so I have no problem on using it for testing but unfortunately I know nothing about ROM building or compiling; anyway, if someone could help me to learn about it I'll be happy to work on this device
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] kilroy69:
See that: http://hastalafiesta.altervista.org/android-rom-development-setup-part-1/

http://hastalafiesta.altervista.org/android-rom-development-download-source-part-2/

http://hastalafiesta.altervista.org/android-rom-development-building-part-3/

Maybe this will help.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Paul L.:
It was nice, for me atleast (I never considered myself a dev, but in between), not only we were improving the software, we also let other people build their own with ours as their base (talking about the Xperia devices), but as life goes on, so we did, now I kind of see this forum dead (not surprising, since I witnessed that on the Galaxy mini subforum, every device subforum dies), and I think "how the heck did we kept this alive for so long?"

Nowdays I am very busy almost all the time (having a daughter isn't really easy at all), I can barely install ROMs on my Moto G (I barely have the 27th of January CM13 nightly installed on my Moto G, I'm behind more than a week) and even less develop. Atleast things are more or less improving here, with the new president (yes, sorry, our country is hiperpolitized) and the new economic policies, I can finally run a little slower, and focus on improving in both of my jobs, and on my daughter, without being worried if my money would be enough for the month (yes, that's how bad it became).

So I decided to check this subforum, as I already said, it's kind of sad to see it with such little activity, when sometimes on the "golden months" you had new threads every hour, new posts everywhere, and you have too many ROMs to try in a lifetime; So I understand and feel all that you said, and I miss a little bit the things that happened here; even if the device was terrible and slow, and buggy, and some fights happened, and at times we felt we reached a wall that didn't let us continue (the OMXs, missing sources, critical bugs, etcetera), I miss sometimes all that.

But we have to go on, and it seems a lot of us did.

In the end, the good news, is that you never will have to suffer a ST-Ericsson chipset anymore (yes, still, f*ck you ST-Ericsson)

My father is also smoking. He said few times that he quit smoking and few hours later or next day he was smoking again. I hope he quit.

Ill never smoke, ever. It doesnt bring any benefit.

Hello everyone! :)

How's everyone?

It's been a long time! I still haven't upgraded to a new device, what about you guys? :P
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] #Henkate:
Is nice to see this thread alive :D

I'm fine. I've started to study for baccalaureate (the final exam after high school ends, here in Romania). I've already lost 2 years doing nothing, it's enough.

After i pass baccalaureate, i wanna try again to get car license since the car school expired... ( is available 1 year) and i have to pay alot of money again.

I should get a job too.

My janice is alive, but i'm not using it at this moment since i have an Galaxy J5. But in future, janice might become a great GPS car running Sami OS of course :D

What about you and the other guys?

Robert.

Hi to everyone!

Hi guys, hope you still remember who I am :o

I was busy, so I didn't see how things going here, news? I've just see that is available a MM rom :highfive:

Anyway, I'm writing on this off-topic thread because I wanna let you know that I have a PlayStore profile, so if you want, let's check it and download some apps! If you can please share it with friends! After all my support I hope you can do this for me!

You can find the link in my description below!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] DaksAnkit:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] hastalafiesta:

I'm kinda missing this phone (still have it though) and this community.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] TPD-21:
Seems like I remember you bro! :cool: How's your driving course yesterday? Did you get your driving license? Eheh
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] #Henkate:
Yo :D

Unfortunately, I didn't get it and the school expired (it's available 1 year). I'm thinking to sign up again for car school, but winter is coming here and it will be harder I think. So, I might sign up in the new year...

What about you? How's going? Still owning the badass Janice? :D (badass in the good way)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] TPD-21:
Oh, it is difficult to get there. But don't give up, keep the spirit to usurp your rights are. Eheh.. Bout Badass Janice (hkz. Hkz..) I still have it, anyway. But just to open the group information, about the work being I wrestled. Slightly several updates for paid apps that I have purchased. That is all. The rest now I rely on Windows 10 device. eheh .. But, I remain consistent with Android. :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] #Henkate:
Whoaa. What windows phone you've got? What is your opinion about the OS (apps, multitasking, performance) and phone? Lumia phones always attracted me with their videos (trailers or how are called) and I readed that they have nice cameras.

I'm looking forward to a review from you :D

PS: I'm limited to thanks button.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] TPD-21:
Unlike what you think so Bro.. :silly: I just have a new lapi, the result of own sweat. Eheh.. Due to my PC almost been aged ± 8 years (woww ..?). :D So I decided to buy a device to support my daily work activities that support the latest wins10 os. For communication activities at me now, I'm still accompanied ZL-Sony n Badass Janice. That is all. :cyclops:

- Yeah, it's no problems. ;)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] bobfrantic:
New name eh? Hope all is good...

I still have my Advance but no sim for it. Use it for wifi when my S4 is charging or on vacation with a disposable sim to avoid roaming.

Take your driving school in winter. If you can drive winter conditions you can drive anything ?

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Paul L.:
I'm still suprised how it keeps going, to be honest.

I still have my janice, is currently sleeping in it's original box on my drawer next to my bed, it doesn't have charge but it still has whatever version of CM it had the last time I installed a ROM in it (probably one of the last TeamCanjica releases).

(I don't remember if I mentioned it, it seemed broken for a while and then I managed to fix it with Odin)

I just transitioned from my Moto G 2013 (a XT1032) which is still going strong (and still is suprisingly fast) and even now has official CM14.1 support, quite surprised it got 2 major Android upgrades (and almost every version in between), from the shipping Android 4.3, to Android 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 and then to Android 5.0, and finally 5.1, and even now it is possible to flash 6.0 from the Moto G 2014 in it.

Sadly, I have no way to replace the charging port (which is damaged and makes it very difficult to charge), so I bought something else.

(It's a Nexus 5X for those who don't want to open a full hd screenshot, running the 7.1.1 Developer Preview 2 and ElementalX kernel 4.0.1)

I am quite happy with it, but also suprised about the quantity of ROMs (not as many as I would have thought), so I may finally go back to ROM compiling, that is if DirecTV gives my 100mb connection sometime this month or december.

I also miss the good old days of janice, it doesn't seem like that much ago this forum was rampant with life, posts every hour, multitude of ROMs and mods to choose from, and mostly a good community that gathered here.

But hell, I still hate ST-Ericsson
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] #Henkate:
Nice phone. If only Nexus had SD Card and removable battery i would consider them...

I'm currently owning an Samsung Galaxy J5 (2015) and I'm lucky that someone made cm12.1. I simply had enough of CrapWiz and I think this is the last Samsung phone I'll ever own. Maybe I'll consider Samsung again if there is CM or AOSP available...

Indeed, Janice has (or i should say had?) a great community, which I'm actually missing it, just like the phone itself. I left it with AOSP and mk kernel (nice combo).

I miss the good old days :D

PS: I still have some Janice ROMs in my PC. If download links expire or something, let me know and I can upload.

Hi guys it's all okay? I reinstalled tapatalk, and first thing I did is to check my beloved s advance section..

I see that development here never stops and i m really sad to not have time to do that anymore:(

Since a while I'm working on a website, in a little group, can you please tell me how is it and how to improve? Maybe if you can share it with friends:D

We are at the beginning so, it's not so good and i am not here to spam, but just because i know you and i trust you!

Anyway, good luck with that!

Had a "quick" look at your site and it seems pretty good. No suggestions yet but after further looks maybe... :o

I'm fine. I changed my phone 2 times now (switched from janice to kanas and now switched to the Honor 8). No phone beats the janice. We had a great community and great devs! Non of my phones has that! I'm missing the time when we had new ROMs to try out :D

Looks very interesting. Keep continuing! Will definitely share it with my friends ;)

I hope you had and will have a great time.

Good old Janice :)

I have 6P now and I still have a empty janicep-shaped hole in my heart ;)

I"m gonna ask my friend if he still has it and if he does I will install the latest CM 10.1 build (someone made one a few months ago with WI-FI fix) on it.

I hope download links are still ok...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] DaksAnkit:
HI ,

The site looks good overall clean design , i think you now just need is to add more content to it :good: , few more pictures . it is still in early stage so i would guess you are already working on it , so good luck buddy . .:cool:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] bobfrantic:
Have a couple suggestions, the marquis at the top needs to be wider as the it is cutting off a few words that then go by to quick to see. Links that go to sites outside yours should be set up to open in a blank window so your site stays open in behind and when that site is closed your site will still be there. That is all for now. Layout is nice and site is clean overall, easy to navigate.

PS: I've got a badass Huawei Nova Gold 32gb / 3gb ram (my first Huawei phone) and I've been left without words :D EMUI is cool too. I still have my J5 2015 though, which is a good phone as well. But Nova... :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] bobfrantic:
I had a look at the specs of the Huawei phone, and they look pretty good. I have always been curious. How does other launchers like Holo and Nova launchers work with the EMUI? Have fun with it. Mrs and I have our sights set on S7 edge phones soon... and bark bark woof woof arf bark woof from Missie and Red LOL :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] #Henkate:
It's a good phone.

I've just installed and tried the two launchers you've mentioned and there isn't any problem. There shouldn't be any problem with any launcher.

This morning I've updated it to EMUI 5 (Android 7) and this update even bring the possibility to switch to App Drawer style.

I'm quite impressed with EMUI and doesn't seems to be heavy as Crapwiz, but that might be because phone's specs too. Anyway, in my opinion is much better than Crapwiz :D

My father has S7 and he wanted to give it to me, but I didn't accept. He dropped It one day and the screen got scratched, but the display itself is fine, it isn't broken. The glass might be the one which got scratched. Anyway, this wasn't the reason I didn't accept it.

Huawei Nova is my first Huawei phone, but also first phone with non-removable battery which worries me a bit. I hope that I'll have a good experience with this phone and that I won't need to replace the battery ever, unless the phone itself dies. I still have my J5 2015 as backup though :D.

I'm sorry for such long reply lol.

I'm looking forward for more pics with your doggies.

Woof woof! :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] bobfrantic:
SO those launchers give you app drawers then. I often wondered if they would work with the EMUI. Glad to read 5 has an app drawer option now though. I still loving my S4 thanks to a S6/S7 ported rom. Makes it feel like a new phone so can help me be patient until the prices come down on the s7's with the s8 in the market at the end of the month.

edit: btw [MENTION=4806022]Henkate[/MENTION] are you useing a screen protector? I read on GSMArena that the Nova doesn't have any screen protection coating which is kinda surprising...

I'm sorry for late reply. You haven't mentioned me properly and I didn't get the notification. It's [MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] :p.

After I've got my Nova, i've bought a glass screen protector for 10€ or so but it was looking so ****ty. The screen protector wasn't covering the screen fully on left and right side, so it was looking like the screen would be scratched lol. The seller said that it's a curved screen and that's why. I've got rid of the screen protector after few hours.

Lol. I really don't drink beer nor any alcohol :D.
