[Q] Android Kitkat for our Galaxy s? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any news about kitkat development for our device? Maybe Kitkat will increase the life span of our device
for few more days. And i Don't wanna leave this device :angel:

Mackay have started, cyano soon.

Oh, nice to hear that. Love the work of devs in this community for our old device

not sure if KitKat brings us a huge performance boost, but it should run pretty snappy on our devices for sure :laugh:
at least that's what Google claims

I'd be happy if super nexus version comes out :good: .....
The lighter version of android + pure android experience
maybe Devs will take care of that too. mackey is also a good rom .
First of all the source is out and everybody is busy with development.
Devices getting their chance to taste kitkat one by one. Galaxy nexus has tasted kitkat finally .
nexus 4 and nexus 7 have some kitkats. Some day will be our chance.

I hope it will come soon

Cyanognmod 11 repo is up

Nexus S has its 4.4 build too so it won't difficult a port for us..
And I know that is very smooth and fast on that device

Galaxy nexus suffers with graphic glitches, old gpu is the problem.
And its same as our galaxy s gpu.

Why? You can build cm by yourself, and pawtip is busy now, he cant make any cm soon. And cm said that all current official devices will get kk

If it was so easy now, we would have a lot of 4.4 builds.
But everyone, so called developers, are waiting for build from pawitp, because our device have some differencies.
So, wait for pawitp build and do not pretend as very good ****ty developer who will bouild from source

In my opinion we receive a lot of kitkat's rom very soon!!! for the google nexus s a rom is out! wait patiently for the porting!

Cm and slimkat have started development. But cm says they are in no hurry to release cm 11. And they are fixing compatibilities.
So we are not gonna see a working version of kitkat soon if it's dependent on pawitp.

Well this why I love this community, can't wait long enough to try this out.

Pawitp has started development:

CM10 is officially launched, see Google+ CM circle.
Great News. A few doubts though
Lets consider LG releases the ICS update..
I noticed that google released new binary hardware drivers for galaxy nexus and nexus 7.
Does that mean the ICS drivers are not sufficient to run JellyBean???????
We will see...

I prefer the excellent custom roms here - so who needs LG (except their needed drivers).

We're something in between.
Other devices who are not officially supported need to port CM on their ROMs - we don't because RC from the CM-Team did that for us - and submits fixes for our device as well.
The reason we don't have nightlies is that CM doesn't add devices which aren't fully running ICS - which we don't.
but he only submits fixes for CM7 doesn't he?
Without the drivers we need a cyanogen release is just pointless we are stuck with gingerbread till lg release the official ics and maybe with an official ics rom a cyanogen jb rom can come from that.
I would be interesting to see if the Hardware Acceleration works with Jelly Bean if we have the official LG ICS Sources... Hope it works. ;-)

This is not accurate.. I have a gtab 10.1 running Cm9 nightlies and the tab does not have offial ics yet, same situation... But our dev/maintainer there is pershoot and he care about us... And release nightlies pretty often... Guess RC its just not interested in this phone anymore
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
that's not right since the Honeycomb drivers were ported and already there, in our situation we only have drivers from Froyo poorly ported by LG to Gingerbread. The leap between GB and ICS is way bigger that HC and ICS. Remember that without his work our phone would be not as good as it is with CM9. Also he still has a private life and if he takes a break , fine so be it. He doesn't owe anyone of us anything.
I'm sorry but I just couldn't let it be

oh

good
No, Ace won't be getting new version of Android. Only new releases of 2.3, if there will be any.
Ace was already outdated when it got released.
If you seek updates get a Nexus 4 otherwise use CM10 or stick with GB.

Dude it's hopeless, instead use CM10 or AOKP ROMs by Jellaxy...
Well, we're stuck with unofficial updates, and for rhose there are Wayland, lagloose, imbawind et al to thank. I myself have now Wayland's CM9 RC4.1 with PSN kernel, and am happy with it. Still need to restore some stuff and tweak a bit... But it's stable enough for my daily use
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
There isn't any hope at all as ace has very low specs, far from the requirements of any 4.0 and 4.1. It has long been announced that official development for it has ceased since CM7.2 Even the official developers don't feel that it is worth the time developing for it. Samsung expected the phone to be a cheap one for all, they released it as a budget phone, so go for custom stock roms, plenty of them are nice looking and can almost mimic the latest versions of android.

[Req] cm 7 based rom

I fully understand devs' work and the philosophy behind developing. And i thank you all devs for your great achievements in mini 2 developement
But, i have a dilema: why did no one tried to develop or port a good old cm 7 rom?
The stock rom is awfaul. It lacks, freezes, reboots... The cm 9-10.1 roms are great, but, let.s face it: untill sammy releasy official jb there is nothing to do
So, why not a cm 7 rom?
I had a galaxy ace once and switching from stock to cm 7 was revelatory...
Please consider my request
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I have no freezes or reboots on my stock rom... But id like to have cm7

i think we can achieve the best performance that can fit into this device
it would be cool to see cm7, i think all drivers must work on it
cool idea i think that will be the right choice until offical jelly bean come
Glad to see others thinks the same
I think for a dev, porting an cm7 rom is a matter of hours.
I wish i could do that but i don.t know how.
Anyway, i hope that someone will complete this task
Best regards!

I think nobody ported it cause CM7 is for Armv6 and Mini 2 is Armv7

i don't think so cause it's build on GingerBread and it's stock ROM the deference between the that cm7 lighter slicer faster with root premession

I really don't think like you. Even S2 in early days had cm7. Now lot of peoples port CM9/10/10.1 and a little bit ports cm7.
Sent from my GT-S6500D using Tapatalk 2
Well, seeing as we'll not get JB, and for that matter a fully working CM10(.1), CM7 seems like a very good idea. With a new stable kernel, without TouchWiz 3.0, and any bloatware, it'll be blazing fast. Plus, the DSP Manager combined with the already awesome stock music experience it'll be more awesome for me. I know it's on the CM 10(.1) but I want a camera damn it! (even though I know it sucks, but it's important kinda for me).
As i said in first post, i really applaud the devs' work on cm 9-10.1, but they (you) have to think that the average noob user (like me) needs a fully working custom rom, even it.s not the latest android update.
So, devs will have our support in developing new roms, in the same giving us a humble cm7 rom for our daily use
I guess that if galaxy ace was running so smoothly with cm7, mini 2 will be lighting faster
And, of course, being arm7 is not an impediment for cm7

[Q] Cm11 or Omni Rom 4.4?

CM have about 25 million users worldwide, and now Cm11 is taking a huge step forward by using this new easy way to upgrade the smartphone system. Omni Rom 4.4 is a new project, with great and promising fectures and developers. What is the best way to go? They will be nearly the same?
For me there is only CM I`m a big fan since CM 9 ...but i think you should test both and make your own decision what works better for you ...
sorry for this ,but in the end it is subjective where your own preferences are ...

This boils down to personal preference. They won't be the same - CM will have features that Omni doesn't, and vice versa.

I think Omnirom will be great, they're focusing their attention on under-the-hood features of great interest:
Multiwindows,
Delta update,
Reworked DSP
OmniFile
and their development plan will make Omnirom an really appreciated rom

Multi Windows!!!!? if that 's right then this will be the best ROM for i9000.
But omnirom is still in alpha mode with many issues pending to be solved.
CM nightly have very little minor bugs which can be ignored. I love it. I am using cyanAOSP 1.4.0 KitKat ROM based on CM11 and it is awesome.
this is my 100th post, and finally a senior member on XDA. yippie!!!!
I'm not sure that multi windows is going to be much use to us on a 4" screen..

my personal opinion (and wish) for every ROM/kernel developer would be to focus on power consumption. I have tried many ROM and read too many threads...Not a single ROM/kernel can reach stock ROM's deep sleep figures

There is only so much you can do, especially since you're running firmware intended for stronger devices, with dual and quad cores being the norm for ICS/JB nowadays

Cyanogenmod 9 (ics 4.0)

Hello guys. Today I tried the CyanogenMod 9 ROM based on Android 4.0 (ics). Runs very well, even much better than gingerbread 2.3.6. Unfortunately this rom, since it was never properly developed, there are still bugs like camera, wifi, mobile network seems to me, but others as well. Do you think you could focus on this rom to extrapolate a functional for our mini 2. I state that graphically and functionally would be perfect!

No, because we are centred in CM10.1 , CM10.2 and Kernel 3.4.x

I would really like to see it happen ! Ultra stable cm with all features working perfectly (now cm10.1 is best so far but still there are tons of bugs )
I think there is a reason why TheWhisp didn't want to pursue this matter ..maybe because samsung announced the official jb for our phone(that turned out to be a lie...) or maybe because cm9 has a lot of bugs ..and most of them were fixed in jb ..idk , or ics requires a lot of libs and stuff that are not avalible ..unlike jb. Idk , I would like to see a very fast,stable and fully functional cm ..so, good luck !
Why not making a fully working CM7.2 for our device?
I think make a full working cm9 is like when thewhisp worked on cm10/10.1
Inviato dal mio GT-S6500 con Tapatalk 2
let someone else do the CM9
someone who knows how to do, it does not have to be a whisp
or let some ports of a device rom and make CM9
We just have to face the fact that : WE NEED MORE DEVELOPERS IN GM2
you cant expect from one guy to make everything for you
and we had a non-functional cm7 past month but the dev droped it
I cannot work on 6+ projects at the same time. At the moment I focus on cm-11 and cm-10.2, and 3.4.x kernel. If you want cm10 and cm10.1 in the same level as cm-10.2, you have to say good-bye to camera. That's why I don't release any updates for those ROMs. Try thinking for once, not spam about every ROM you want.
What do you think people about this rom?

It's laudable attempt to convince you The Whisp to focus on a CM who can bring added value to the phone and that works really. Unfortunately The Whisp is used to finish something once you start. It works only on projects illusory .... He even told you that working on 6 projects simultaneously. How many of them go really well and can say that achieve perfection? None! Too bad! It's a good developer but is inconstant. The romanian people have a saying: "Good cheese, rough diamond." That's The Whisp!

MSM7x27a also has official support for Android 4.1. Just out of curiosity, I made a CM10 build with the latest changes from CM-10.2 builds (it uses everything that an official 4.1 ROM from Samsung would bring us), I'd it's not quite faster that the 4.3. If you really want your device to perform at its best, stick with 2.3
I have used GT-S6312 with Samsung's official 4.1.2 Touchwiz'ed Android and it is terribly slow. No wonder Samsung cancelled the update for Mini 2.
And an ICS ROM would have the same problems as any other CM ROM - crappy camera performance, white screen issue would persist etc.
