Like a few of you knows I'm working on a CM10 (Android 4.1.2) port from source for our device, so I open this thread, to discuss the work in progress, so... NOBODY THAT DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD ROM FROM SOURCE IS ALLOWED TO POST NOTHING HERE.
Our device
Our platform it's U8500, subversion U8430, codename montblanc, a SoC developed by Sony, but our manufaturer is Samsung, and our device codename is golden. The default clock cpu speed is 1 Ghz and our GPU renderer is Mali-400, our wifi/bluetooth/fm-radio receiver version is bcm4334 using a bcmdhd module.
What means that?
That means that our processor it's one completely closed, there's no source nor documentation about none of the strange binaries with what we must to work. Officially our latest android version is 4.1.2, the one I'm porting, so there's a big possibility of that finally all becomes to work, but also there's a big possibility of that evertyhing will work buggy and slow.
When will you release it?
I've a few interesting ideas about quality, at least it must to have everything working, and the UI must to be more or less fast. That means between one week or ten years. I'm a 16 years teenager studying and with girls in mind, so DON'T ASK FOR ETAS/UPDATES
Will you support or Galaxy S3 Mini variants?
I DON'T LIKE TO SUPPORT A DEVICE I DON'T OWN, SO THE ANSWER IS NO, I'll only support GSM version without NFC chip.
But the source code it's on my github, and I don't think that can be too much difficult to port it to another variant.
I've found a bug!
You're awesome men! But this is full of bugs, and most of them are know.
If you want to report bugs please read THIS HOWTO first. Please try to provide logs if you see errors (logcat and dmesg). If you don't know how to do that check google or ask people here to help you. Contact me on:
