Hey all :)

After about 4 years with IOS phones ( primarily for game development) ; I finally hopped back on a phone I could stomache and enjoy tweaking.

My apologies in advance if this is obvious somewhere in the sub-forums (but I couldnt find the answer) .

After testing a few ROMS I settled into Jedi XV12 w/ Perseus Kernel and love it with the Nova Prime Launcher.

I would love to start working from this base ROM to try my hand at a GSM (with working data/4G/LTE) version that incorporates APN and other radio/network specific tweakability. The idea of a single device that I could use on TMO/ATT/VZW/SimMo/Straight Talk & **maybe Sprint ughhh* is too tempting after living in the Apple Walled Garden of Pain.

I have my environment setup on a MacAir (Ubuntu 64Bit in Fusion) and also a Desktop native Ubuntu 64Bit with Eclipse/SVN/GIT etc etc along with the Samsung source and Vanilla 4.2.1.

Does anyone know if JediXV12 has a repo I can pull/merge against? Or even JellyBeans B13? Ideally a full source tree pre-merged would be fantastic to jump right in.

As some background on me: I have been doing everything from C,C++, Objective C , Python & RoR for over a decade.... pushing 15 years now :eek: Mobile games development since 2007 ..........

Would love some feedback or help as I havent dug into android other then just 2 games a few years ago.

BTW: This is simply the best multipurpose device I have used in ages. From speed to the AMAZING black levels AMOLED gives !

The only ones with full repos are going to be the AOSP ROMs. The others are primarily made through decompiling the Samsung code, editing the smali, and recompiling, and they aren't required to publish the source for their development since the only part of Android that's actually covered by the GPL is the kernel.

Thanks for the reply Shrike. That's what i figured as well, but was hopeful that a full source code tarball or zip would give me a leg up to ensure a stable codebase merge with the current Jedi XV12 to add support for Domestic APN's and the such via updates from one of my servers to mitigate APN changes /updates/variances for specific carriers 3G/4G/HSPA+/LTE settings.

I'll hit up Jedi devs and see if they are interested in a hand with adding these features I suppose.
