Are there any custom ROMs for CAT S50?

CAT S50 mobile phone: Platform	OS	Android OS, v4.4 (KitKat)

Chipset	Qualcomm MSM8926 Snapdragon 400

CPU	Quadcore 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7

GPU	Adreno 305

Memory	Card slot	microSD, up to 64 GB

Internal	8 GB, 2 GB RAM

Camera	Primary	8 MP, 3264 x 2448 pixels,

Network	Technology:	GSM / HSPA / LTE

2G bands	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G bands	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100

HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

4G bands	LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800)

Speed	HSPA, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps

GPRS	Yes

EDGE	Yes

What I've found so far:

Was able to connect to adb; only by booting into android & then connecting USB Cable:

Connect via adb after turning on the following:

Settings> Storage menu > USB computer connection:

Connect as

*a) Media device (MTP) returns "no permissions" ?

b) Camera {PTP) can be read by adb

Activate Developer Option:

Settings> Developer options> USB debugging

$:adb devices

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

List of devices attached

f13e176a	device

$: adb push /home/user/android-tools/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.00.zip /sdcard

transfer was successful

$: adb reboot bootloader

Boots device into DC check mode (Don't know what this "DC check mode'' is but allows fastboot to see device)

$: fastboot devices

f13e176a	fastboot

$: fastboot oem unlock

successful (but then the following step says different)

$: fastboot oem device-info (reports device as unlocked)

...

(bootloader)	Device tampered: false

(bootloader)	Device unlocked: false

(bootloader)	Charger screen enabled: false

OKAY [ 0.004s]

finished. total time: 0.004s

NOTE: CAT S50 is set to PTP mode this is how I've been able to get adb & fastboot to work on it. This phone also has a "Safe Mode". I won't pursue the "fastboot oem unlock" without a replacement ROM.

Anyone working on a ROM for CAT S50?

*** I'm a newb & have not pursued unlocking phone past the above point because I have not found any custom ROMs to install once I successfully unlock the phone.

Q: Are there any custom ROMs for CAT S50?

Q: Can I compile a light clean, fast, custom ROM for CAT S50 Hardware,

Q: Can someone help me learn how to do this? Straight forward tutorials? Maybe a trimmed down version of colorOS - main thing is for phone to work on 3g as well as 4g & LTE, solid internet access for GPS functions ie.. Maps, Youtube for entertainment, email &mini opera, & social media, good camera functions.

My PC OS Slackware, old windowsXP, old mac G4 laptop I can convert to something else. What is good Linux OS environment for Android Studio? KDE or Gnome?

Hope others find this as fun as I have & can help me pursue this project to a successful conclusion, since I have found just one post addressing this decent CAT S50 mobile phone.

Hi,

Thanks for using XDA Assist :) Sadly there is no roms for your device has its not that popular everywere :)

Good Luck!
[XDA Assist] Fstop:
Thank you jackeagle, you put an end to this rabbit hole of searching for a CAT S50 Custom ROM.

Next question & I have been looking @ YouTube's Android Boot Camp. I know a little about kernel rebuild & customizing , custom installs of Slackware base on hardware & what I want to be able to do. Would like to attempt building a custom ColorOS ROM for CAT S50's hardware and bandwidth capabilities plus only the apps I need to use. [Q]Is there a more appropriate forum section for these questions? [A]Found the XDA Building Guides in "developer's forum".

Now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is out and about, we're interested in learning what cases you're after (or currently using) to protect it from damage. It doesn't matter what style — flip cover, full body film, hybrid case or skin case — we want to know your favorites. Following this thread will be our "Best cases for the Galaxy S6 Edge" article that will encompass what our community has deemed worthy above the rest, so share your opinions because they matter!

Pelican Protector Case

I have the Pelican protector case specifically made for the S6 edge. While both the Pelican S6 and S6 edge cases fit my phone, the S6 case covered part of the edge notifications. The Pelican case is solid and lightweight, and most importantly, after a couple drops, my phone remains intact.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] roigi2015:
Does it reduce the mobile signal?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] NiquiSE:
I like the Spigen Rugged Armor the most. Thin and has a nice feel in hand.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Blaalad12:
Spigen neo hybrid is great! I had the official samsung clear case which was nice but offered very little protection! The neo hybrid is great looking (some people may find it even adds to how the phone looks) Cut outs are done to perfection. Buttons work flawlessly despite being covered. It fits snug and feels solid as well! I honestly NEVER leave a case on . Anytime i buy a new phone i always buy a case and within a week i take it off because i just don't like the feel, the look , the bulk etc This is the first case i have ever bought that iam happy to leave on :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] snir6590:
im using this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-S6-E...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ede69779b

and its really really good. i have dropped its 3 times, and nothing happend. really good product by spigen.

Nope, my signal is great!

Obliq Slim Meta Case

I am currently using the obliq slim meta case. Its relatively inexpensive $15 on amazon and it arrived in less than 4 days (im located in southern california; LA to be specific).

Its not so much for protection against drops but I love it because it protects that AWFUL camera hump and the lip on the front edge protects the screen if i were to place it face down.

super stylish as well. I cant post a link to it because i am a new member but its easy to find on amazon
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Mikeonic:
Speck Candy Shell Grip
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Metalheadx92:
Love this case!

I use the Urban Armor Gear and I love it! Dropped my phone many times and this case saved it many times! I like that its see thru and has a pretty nice design on the back. By far the best slimish case I've owned for a phone!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] marcochapita:
That case is great the only thing that pulls me away is indeed the price, I would love to try it. At the moment my favorite one is ringke slim
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Camboteav:
For the price it is worth it on amazon!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] AvaAdore:
My favorite case is my still my first case and that is the Spigen Neo Hybrid! :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] redeuxx:
Anyone run a very minimal case? I don't want to add heft. I usually just use a screen protector, but otherwise naked.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] justda:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0BDVS8BN3N4H60NQEN74

Obliq dual poly: $15 comes with 3 colored accents, and it looks great.

PS I can wirelessly charge with it on also

I run just a slickwrap skin. I got the Obliq for my wife and it is very minimal but I like the wrap with a screen protector better.

Ringke SLIM case is simply beauty. No more worried on fingerprint. :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] TheBeardedMann:
Spigen Neo Hybrid for me too. I really like it. Feels great. Tight fit. Raised just enough to set the phone down either way and not scratch the screen or camera. Looks great.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] jadaress1:
I have this case, not currently using it due to it having no grip, really slippery, but it does look nice.

It is a bit slippery but still OK. :)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Andrewtst:
Sorry don't have.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] crobo:
Did the case arrived??

if so, could you share your thoughts about the case?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Superpopsss:
Not yet although I don't have my s6 edge anymore if someone wants it, will sell it for half price + shipping.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] black7:
I ordered this as well, excited to get it!

In the meantime, I'm using this Nillkin case. It's the slimmest one that I've used so far while providing some level of protection. Also makes the phone much easier to grip and makes it less slippery at the same time. It also has raised edges in front to protect glass as well as raised lip around camera to protect the lens. Over all very happy with this. Very minimalistic while providing decent protection all around. Now if only they could make a clear one to show off the well thought out lines of this beautiful phone...

How's the shumuri case? It looks pretty good. Is it tpu?or plastic.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] black7:
Hey bud, sent ya a PM. I'd like to take you up on that offer.

Not sure as I haven't received mine yet... Hoping Superpopsss can provide some info and a quick review even if he doesn't have his S6 edge any longer.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Captain Cook:
I'm using the Ringke clear case. It's made of rubber, I tried cleaning it and I made a long line of scratch in the back lol other than that, I like this case because it's so slim and I get to see the entire phone's sleekness compared to when I was using the replica Samsung flip case. It's cheap too, I got for like $25.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Superpopsss:
Didn't receive it yet, although I have an IPhone 6 and the same case, it's not tpu but plastic.

Very satisfied with my iPhone 6 shumuri case. Will get actual pictures of the s6 edge case when I get it.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Benjaminrice:
I like the Spigen Rugged Armor the most.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] diaper84:
I had an experience with case with similar thickness and material for nexus 5. It looks great but a drop will crack it really easily. I bought the like 4 of them for 3 dollars each in case it cracks. $20 is kinda expensive.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] kidbudi:
Hands down incipio feather. I know it doesn't offer much protection but it keeps the phone's form factor really impressively and it just looks beautiful on the phone, I've gotten so many compliments on it.

I own currently Incipio Feather, Speck Candyshell Grip, Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Spigen Neo Hybrid, and Spigen Tough Armor. That's the order I would rank them in. I got pretty much all the Spigen cases for free or close to free but this is the order I would rank them in. Personally I value keeping the phone's form factor over excessive protection.

Got the case !
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] theheavy:
Looks really good, is it hard of soft plastic? Grippy or slippy?

By the way can I ask what made you ditch the edge?

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

Oh and what colour is it meant be? Looks frosted white in the pics is that about right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Superpopsss:
It's made out of hard plastic not tpu, but being so thin, it's very supple. It's not grippy yet not very slippery. Colour was supposed to be clear but I guess it's more frosted white/clear.

I ditched the s6 edge because ios 8.3 jailbreak came out and because I had an apple watch. The s6 was good, but overheating a lot and memory leak was pretty bad. It had an amazing screen and camera though!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] eric150:
How did you do that?

Here it is the HTC Audio Manager from the HTC Touch in VGA (meaning: It works fullscreen on the HTC Universal)

version: final (no bugs so far)

Here you can download the OEM package

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/HTC_Touch_2_VGA/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v3_OEM.rar

Thanks and greetings to deepred who is the hero of the day, because he showed me some missing bits in my thoughst about the resizing.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
for some reason, the ftp speed is absolutely horrid.

about 4KBps (!!!)

when i finish downloading i'll try fixing the images (no promises though)...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
dah, i forgot i had just formatted my computer and i don't have anything installed yet.

have you tried resizing with different resizing methods? (ie. percise billinear, bicubic....)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] fallenczar:
could you post it on say rapidshare (don't know if posting it here will be right)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
uploading...

Done.

http://rapidshare.com/files/37802131/HTC_Audio_ManVGA_v2_xda_WIP.rar.html
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] fallenczar:
has you resized the images???

i downloaded the file from the rapidshare link....and i see png's which are 640x44 background is something like 480x514....

is this the right size or do i double this up?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
no, its the same file ivan posted.

i couldn't resize it properly.

the app works, but the icons have a pink border around them, thats all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Lt.Cmdr.Ivan:
I tried to resize them with irfanview (i know it isn't the smartest method, but i am not a very skilled person regarding image manipulation.

Oh and regarding the resizing, only thge images in the png_qvga folder need to be resized, all otherimages were resized correctly.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] deepred:
I think I did it. Run irfanview, press B (stands for batch), load files from png_qvga. Select new output directory, Work As: batch conversion, output format PNG, use advanced options checked. Then select following format options: save transparent color, compression level 6 (default). You can play with compression level, but 6 worked for me (pictures became smaller ~1KB). Advanced options: unselect everything except DPI, set it to 192.

P.S. Forgot to say, that it will ask you for transparent color. Select magenta on each picture.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] deepred:
Hm, pretty cool app. Much easier to handle with fingers than with stylus. I think it supports AVRPC, just tested with Nokia HS-12W. No song name, but buttons are fully functional.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Lt.Cmdr.Ivan:
Thanks i will try it.
