Nice attitude? Do you have to compensate for something or what?

Of what exactly? I'm skipping this generation of architectures anyway.

How many months until Exynos source code comes out? and if it comes..... how sad i will be if buy now Exynos and in a few months comes out with LTE. I thinkS600 with LTE and source code with devs is a more complete device.


If ONE with an S600 is a flagship, why S4 with same s600 shouldn't be?

People should shut the hell up about "Exynos source code" if you don't even know what that means.

Could you explain to us please?
I've read that Samsung have released Source code for Exynos Quad but many developers complain about the missing of some essential parts needed for ROM development.

I think I'll go with Exynos anyway but I really wish to have an Exynos powered smartphone without problems like Mem leak or camera bug with AOSP/CM based ROM.

That is kernel source code. For Exynos 4 based devices, Kernel source code != Chipset driver source code. Like qualcomm has codeaurora and omap has (Or had?) omapzoom. Kernel source code is needed for custom kernels, for eg the one Andrei develops, while the chipset source code is needed for working of AOSP ROMs. Samsung doesn't even provide working blobs, they're mostly broken (Entropy's words, not mine). *I might be wrong, Andrei's the expert here*

I think some of the problems also revolve around Samsung not leaving any notes or information with the source code, so lots of parts are very hard to understand.

I also think they are lacking lots of the custom drivers and stuff?

You can wait forever for exynos code.
They don't have obligation to release that code so they won't.
