I understand but we can't stay there, doing anythink or waiting. .. We can search a solution. . Can We recompile a S5Intl recovery ?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:
there are guides on how to Port CWM or TWRP to a new device. Can't do anything by myself at the moment, no time. But simply recompile a recovery does not work.

Hi guys!!

My situation is just the opposite...

I have some time but I really don't know nothing about recompiling a recovery.

I tried to read some posts/guides about that but every "3 lines I read" I've 10 or more new questions on how is this or simply how to do that other thing.

I would like to help but I really don't know how :confused:

Also I want to thank you for all the work you're doing!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:

Hi

I don't know what exactly the problem that you've there.

If you don't like Ubuntu there are a lot of distributions of Linux....

You can try Mint, Manjaro (with rolling updates), openSUSE, SolusOS, or any other depending of the use are you going to make with.

Or go to DistroWatch web and there you'll find almost every Linux distribution classified in different ways like popularity, downloads, indicated for.... etc

Bye and good luck :thumbup::thumbup:

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] MEGAX91:
[MENTION=6999220]davbra98[/MENTION]

after instaling libraries you should download a toolchain and kernel source.

toolchain :

https://bitbucket.org/UBERTC/

kernel source :

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] davbra98:
After downloading about 25 GB I'm stuck again. I have now the complete environment but already the first command returns an Error. I've attached it I hope somebody can help me.

As I said I don't have any experience in compiling kernels. If you don't send me a guide or give me hints what to do with the files I can't do anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] MEGAX91:
[MENTION=6999220]davbra98[/MENTION]

after instaling libraries and downloading toolchain & kernel source use these command to compile your kernel :

cd CM
* CM is my Kernel Location *

export ARCH=arm64

make clean && make mrproper

ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android- make VARIANT_DEFCONFIG=write your defconfig here
* my toolchain is aarch64-linux-android-4.9 *

export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin/aarch64-linux-android-

make menuconfig

make -j5
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
The ARCH-Type is not defined, which causes the issue as poster above, try download correct toolchain =)

Setting up a VM is not a problem. Even setting up the environment is easy when you found out how.

The only thing I need is a step by step guide which is

1. working and not giving out Errors all the time

2. describes exactly what you have to do and not only a few things

I think together we can make it :)

Are there any planys for developing CM for the S5 Neo?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] OlMightyG:
The interesting question is: Will there be community support for this device for a longer period of time? Right now still have a 2011 Galaxy S2 with 5.1.1 and 6 is also available. 5 years after release. I would like to use my new device for the same period of time. Is it better to go with the original S5 because of the community or do you think it will get bigger with time?

Besides: I prefer the S5 Neo because of the non existing port covers and the better batterylife.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] chris-t-an:
I really wish that someday developers will take this phone seriously because I really believe in its guts. it would be awesome to be able to use a x64 OS architecture, change cpu governors, using all the 8 cores at the same time, adding features from other phones like the increased touch sensitivity on G900F for using it with gloves when it's freezing outside or a pencil... There certainly should be a community support for this phone. hundreds of thousands of units have been sold 'till now but it didn' got any promotion yet.. even a poster or something...

The problem is that in most tutorials earlier or later you need this command.

I've already resynced repo there were almost no changes so source code seems to be OK.

About not sleeping:

I worked a long time last weekend for getting to where I am now. It was my first time with linux so I needed some time to get along with it.
