In some way, yes. We're looking how similar is our exynos 7420 with current exynos5 sources. Gralloc was similar, but omx will be a hell, since we lack of sources for some formats.

We don't get efficiency because of getting its hal open sourced. Of course some master devs can improve it, but TW has bad performance.

To:

1 and 2) No idea. It's a matter of TW vs AOSP what gives most speed.

Theres thousand of people that want cm man just dont ask for any etas just let the devs that are making it possible to do the job of getting it completely working man thats one of the reason that noone releases anything cuz people are not patience [bad english]
[Galaxy S6 General] CTXz:
This is truly a good question. But who knows, since pretty much all sammy users here know the pain of touchwiz, why should samsungs sources be better than custom sources. Who know if they do a better job than samsung?

But we are talking about hardware sources and drivers here they will no doubt do a great job but will still be behind the original sources...

And so now ril and wifi work even in cm 13 as we can see in te picture
[Galaxy S6 General] CTXz:
I was referring to the hardware sources. And yeah, of course there's a 99% chance that the original ones are better but just saying, who knows if Samsung did suuuch a perfect job on them.

i'd like to know why he says noone would use it as daily driver.
[Galaxy S6 General] denNorske:
Probably because it is very unstable and because a set of sensors are not functioning. It's possible but very unlikely to be any good? :)

Camera isn't working, i think there are still issues with 3D rendering, fingerprint scanner won't work (maybe later but maybe not), stability etc.

[Galaxy S6 General] arter97:
XDA doesn't allow fundraising.
[Galaxy S6 General] thefunnyone:
Yeah. but in any other way if we can get the developer to get an s6 or note 5 device ,and if the display driver is the main problem why cant we make a pledge for that only? I mean some developers may have bought s6, and they may think that instead of using their time on this device they can do something else they found productive, right?
[Galaxy S6 General] arter97:
Graphics drivers are the first major problem. More will be along the way.

And I'm yet to find any Exynos experts on this 7420 who are capable on even starting AOSP ROMs.

bmc08gt seems to have a S6 AOSP device sources but I don't think it's working atm.

That is correct. I signed up because I really want a AOSP-based ROM on my Galaxy S6. If my one post count makes me look implausible you can ignore me for your list. I'm still looking forward to AOSP on the S6 becoming real.
[Galaxy S6 General] thefunnyone:
We must first get a working graphics driver.
[Galaxy S6 General] thefunnyone:
Hmmmm I didnt ask in a wrong view but many people couldnt even differenciate between source for aosp and the kernel source given from Samsung, anyways I am also looking forward for aosp on our device and thank you mate!

Thefunnyone you should update the op with all the offers and i rise mine to 10$

PS. For the ones stil thinking, if you guys want this phone to be alive for some time aosp is the Best option. I have a s2+ and Samsung support is long dead but is running stock aosp 6.0 and is very stable

Has anyone tried integrating an AOSP rom with documentation that ARM releases + Kernel source code that Samsung releases?

http://malideveloper.arm.com/resources/drivers/open-source-mali-midgard-gpu-linux-kernel-drivers/

I've seen people saying that the problem is the GPU driver...
[Galaxy S6 General] Xileforce:
Interesting, I'll have to look into this driver thing. Seems like most people are working towards cm ATM rather than aosp. Probably because the exynos 5 in the note 4 which has cm is actually pretty similar to our exynos 7420.
[Galaxy S6 General] arter97:
Don't bother.

Mali stuffs were useless on ALL AOSP ports as we have no choice but to use Samsung's Mali kernel drivers and blobs.

the real cuestion...is possible create a funcionallity AOSP rom?

thanks for your work
[Galaxy S6 General] nadejo:
What we also need is an exact description of how a documentation of a soc should look like.

developers who already managed to build aosp on exynos should give us more information on how they did proceed and the succes or fail of this process should be shared here aswell. Also we should have a seperate dev thread where exynos generatio socs sources are compared to eachother, differences in source etc.

Example

exynos7420

.... is pending

.... is done

the (....) should be a exact explenation of what the dev is looking for

We need simply more questions. Im sure the answers are out there in the internet but we the users have to find them and bring them on one page.
[Galaxy S6 General] akidufish:
I pledge 10$
[Galaxy S6 General] D4rk_nVidia:
Does everyone really want that?

I mean,current TouchWiz is not like TouchWiz on the S3.

it's fast and there is less bloat.

if it's possible to get AOSP, it really takes much time to get a stable ROM. I know from other phones that it take a long time to get a stable aosp ROM.

[Galaxy S6 General] thefunnyone:
I have thought about creating a thread for sharing the progress of development of AOSP trees for our devices where the developers can share their progress in what is working now and what is not, for example it can help people to help the developers too ( In Xperia L most of the work was done by a single developer but the solutions for some bugs were found by some people who had time to do research about the problems). But I dont know if developers will to share their progress with us because most of the developers here have no contacts between them.

Awesome explanation.

People also kept asking me "Although it's crap, almost all Exynos devices got CM in some point!", "It's a flagship! I don't think it'll get CM!".

I hope your post can enlighten some people why S6 is totally different case. (Or maybe not, who knows.)

Btw, I wonder how far bmc08gt has got. Last time I tried building off from his source, the display won't even initialize properly, which is step 1 on ROM ports.

Currently i am working together with brandon to get a functional s6 port.

To be exact i am working on the s6 edge and he is working on the s6.

The idea here is that we commonize everything for both devices, so that its easier to maintain.

We (well mostly brandon tho) got a succesful marshmallow build (yes, we are moving forward to marshmallow :)) but we have 2 issues (which we can solve in not too long).

1. We are missing many (especially sepolicy) commits.

This is just a matter of cherry-picking them so that is fine.

2. The current kernel is based on 5.1 while the blobs+ramdisk are still 5.0.2.

So the idea is to roll back to the 5.0.2 kernel and get the initial boot up and running, then we will go back to the 5.1 kernel and update the ramdisk+blobs.

As [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] mentioned, its hard for us both to work on the s6 (edge) since we do not own the device.

We will do what we can do to get cm/any non touchwiz rom up and running on this nice device :)

[Galaxy S6 General] Thecrazyskull:
It was local tho.

But it didn't work so its no use pushing it imo.
[Galaxy S6 General] RaymanFX:
I'm honestly not convinced your efforts will yield notable results this way.

It's not your (or Brandon's) skillset to blame here, but the lack of time you two get to spend with the actual devices.

In my opinion, our best bet is on hacking into the prebuilt display stack and get that one to work before even thinking about using the Exynos hw repos we have right now and building them from source, because that will require a lot of reverse engineering in itself.

What the community needs is someone with continuous access to a development device. If no such person (with a reasonable skillset) can be found, a device should be donated, or at least partly paid for by the community.

As I said in my previous post, getting at least the initial display sequence to work surely is possible, but it's going to take some time. And if you don't have access to the device when a spontaneous idea strucks your mind, you'll have first results by the time the Galaxy S9 is released.

A lot of people probably appreciate your efforts to work on the device trees, but I never really saw a blind development project take off or yield notable results for that matter, so I'm a bit sceptic here.

I already asked Brandon for a log with the prebuilt libdisplay stack and he promised to shoot me one, so I can see how bad the situation turns out to be. I really wish I could do more, but I'm limited to the devices I own obviously, I can only work on Exynos <= 5433.

I'm currently working on upstreaming all the latest Exynos work to CyanogenMod, hoping this will make it easier for people to contribute and have source references when fighting the blobs.
[Galaxy S6 General] Thecrazyskull:
I totally agree with you, but development should start somewhere.

Even if we don't manage to get display working im sure someone who owns the device will come and continue from where we left off.

You know that it would be cheaper if you would sell your s6 and buy a nexus device instead of giving money to eventually have a working cm/aosp rom. Why do you even buy a Samsung device??

I'm not getting this whole donating/bounty thing...
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavstech:
There are many people here who still like samsung hardware and want an aosp software to power it rather than touchwiz including me though samsung devices arent good at aosp but their quality of build and hardware is still top notch so many prefer buying it so if people want to support the development by offering some bounty then it would be better for them and whole community

[Galaxy S6 General] sapnesh:
Lol. What makes you think a $200 billion worth company will start selling its state of the art first of its kind Soc's (14 nm process) source code for money. It's keeping it proprietary because it wants to. Though I including many hope they'l open-source it but it's doesn't seem like it's going to happen soon. And I believe s4 or s3 have aosp roms because devs here on xda worked very very hard on it (reverse engineering and stuff I guess and other factors)
