This is a discussion thread for all things custom; Building steps and tips, problem solving and issue discussion. All questions and/or comments are welcome. Be aware, although I build and customize ROMs, I am not a professional developer and cannot promise a solution for your problem. But, hopefully, we can work together to come up with practical solutions for any problems here at m7spr.
So..The things you were shut down on. Were they CM related, or Sense stuff?
Did they involve you working solo, or with a team? Give more details, get the word out.

I really am leery of pointing fingers at specific people because I'm new here and don't want to make a name for myself as a whiner. But, basically it is both. The custom ROMs I am working on have all been built before by me on other devices, so that's not the issue. I have inquired about possibly collaborating with other devs on some Sense related stuff and was looking into why there was no official or unofficial release of the current CM10.2. The sense stuff really isn't my bag as much, but i was/am interested. Others are working on the CM, but with no official release in play, no one wants to put theirs out. I have built it successfully, but have no intention of trying to lay it out there when other devs have been working on it before I got here. My thing is this: when I got tired of waiting for devs to come up with new things, I was told to put up or shut up. It was good advice; I have no coding experience specifically, but I like to learn and have been successful at not only compiling and maintaining custom builds, but also starting 'Learn to do it yourself' threads in two different device forums. I like to learn and compile and share. That's it. I don't need (or want) attention or grateful fans or any of that crap. All I want to do is open the doors for more builds and more users getting off their asses and building for themselves. It seems like a win-win to me, but I feel resistance and it is disappointing. I will get off my soapbox now
I typically touch base with any dev who is the creator/maintainer of any ROM I am interested in pursuing. My experience has been more of a quick 'try it out and see what you get' response or 'it can't be done'. This is after I have asked for not only a blessing, but for relevant information and possibly assistance. Maybe I am just hitting up devs who are already frustrated and don't want someone like me asking a bunch of questions, I don't know....

I looked your thread up and I think we'd get along great. Anybody who says 'if you don't like me, GOOD' is someone I wanna hang with. It's also funny you should mention helping with that sense version because that's exactly what I was trying to do. Sense aint even my bag, but I was going to look into it from the SVD side to see what I could learn. Maybe I just rubbed that guy the wrong way or something. Regardless, I can't promise how much help I will actually be, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Tell me what you need and the right places to look and I'll do whatever I can. Be cool

do you have google hangout?
I think one issue is that there is an update to 4.3 looking for the Sprint One. This will undoubtely contain new radios and firmware that will help our phones run on 4.3+. Since this is a know update, many devs have decided to forego work on the the current 4.1.2 Sense ROMs. Some are working on the 4.2.2 Sense ROM, but with no leak, or Sprint version it is much harder work. Also, there is only source for up to 1.29. The source from the 1.31 update is not available and it has caused issues with ROMs based on that update.
Personally I don't get your complaint though. There is a lot of development and a wide selection of ROMs available from Stock Android 4.1 to 4.3 to Stock Sense, to heavily themed Sense ROMs. What exactly is not available that you want?

This really wasn't meant to be some complaint thread with a bunch of whining; just the opposite, really. I just wanted feedback on how I am perceiving things around here. I'm cool with being told I have it wrong; was hoping for it actually. And you pointed out exactly what I mean in part. Sense this and stock that is the rule of the day here. That's ok. Everyone is allowed to like whatever they want and if sense and stock are the most wanted builds then so be it. But, I am a self-proclaimed customization junkie, for better or for worse. Personally, I like more fully custom ROM choices and have been beating my head against the wall trying to get some Beanstalk love here but without success to this point. BS is already set in 4.3 and matched with CMs 10.2 releases, so I'm stumped. If you have knowledge, I would be happy to show you some of my errors. I do think you make a great point about the whole place being in flux due to the impending 4.3 release. Like I said before, I just want to open up some development doors and get more interest in development in general. Maybe I have hit up the wrong devs or caught them at bad times. It happens.

Part of the issue might be that users are afraid of using Cm as it has a nasty habit of bricking phones that no one of notoriety has looked into, acknowledged, or found a solution to.

I haven't really been looking at it after my first run (I personally like Sense a lot, and AOSP didn't have a good way of dealing with the limited hardware options for me), but wasn't the brick-spree killed a while back?

A couple of people developed a "consensus" that it had been fixed. then 2 more people bricked their phones. ALLEGEDLY the CPU has a tendency to over clock itself and lock at 1.7 Ghz
This is all fine and dandy yet no one can figure out why or how to stop it.

Like I said no one ever figured out why or how to stop it. A consensus was reached but then more people bricked. No developers could be bothered to take time out of their day to look into it though.

I saw one guy who was addressing it and taking names and such, but then I guess it just faded away. Do you know of ongoing issues like this? Can all of the bricks be undoubtedly proven to be from no other cause? I think that would be the defining characteristic of lack of support; difficulty in proving cause. My build of CM10.2 runs fine as long as I don't try to change the font with Font Installer. And I am reasonably certain that it isn't from CM all by itself. I have the same issue with Illusion ROM 4.2.2. Anybody know why we can't change the font? My thread; I can change topic if I want to

It is the only common factor in permanent bricks. Phone gets hot, phone wont charge. All other "bricks" are user induced because people did not understand what S-Off meant, what wiping in TWRP means, what GSM means etc etc.
So how many confirmed permanent bricks and when was the last? Has anyone proven a cause? Contacted HTC or CM or Sprint? If there were twenty cases with only 5 confirmed, then it isn't that big from a larger standpoint. See what I mean? That would explain what you see as a lack of support? Has this happened to you?

Why does there seem to be very little development going on here and why is the development that is taking place so closely guarded? I thought everyone wanted more choices and new options..... I see that there is current and ongoing 10.2 development (hell, I've even built it), but no one wants to release it. I'm hearing that the last guy who did that got banned. So, if everyone is waiting for OFFICIAL builds to be released first, why are there none being officially worked on? Two times in the last three weeks I have inquired about wanting to work on some new development and have either been told straight out not to release or been effectively threatened with reporting before I have even begun an attempt. I don't know if maybe there has been a rash of jerks who are trying to claim ownership of work that does not belong to them or what, but I've never seen as much negativity about new builds in any thread I have been a part of. I want to claim ownership of nothing; I only want to open doors. I guess I'll just work on things for my own use and leave this forum to the guys currently running it. HMPH :angel:

You could build us a GSM version ROM that works on the sprint HTC One. You'd be a hero if you could do that. We've already unlocked our phones and are able to connect to the ATT / TMO but only manually. When the signal is lost it seems to still be looking to auto connect to sprint...I would think this should be a simple setting software but I know nothing about phone ROMs.

Open Bump!
What is Open Bump?
Open Bump is a recreation of the closed source Bump project run by Codefire.
It will allow you to "sign" your boot images in the same way that Codefire does it, only you don't need an internet connection.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What Open Bump is NOT
lets get the obvious out the way. It won't axe murder you.
It is not a direct reverse engineer of Codefire's implementation. I found the key and iv on my own
The magic bytes were taken from Codefire's method however. If anyone has insight has to how they were found, please shout up.
It does NOT take your private data so you can use it. Tin hatters feel free to double check
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How did I find this out
I had a general idea of what to look for, having heard that the exploit is related uicc, and is signed with a cipher.
Dropping the aboot image in to Ghex led me to finding a reference to "uiccsecurity". Using the bytes around this, I found a repeat of 32 bytes, which was followed by 16 bytes which formed something that resembled "SecureWallpaper".
As you can probably guess, this was mainly trail and error backed by common sense and logical thinking.
you can programmatically find these values with the python script:
Python:
aboot_name = './aboot.img'
aboot = open(aboot_name, 'rb').read()
key_end = aboot.index('uicc')
key_start = key_end - 32
key = aboot[key_start:key_end]
sec_key_start = aboot.index(key, key_end)
iv_start = sec_key_start + 32
iv_end = iv_start + 16
iv = aboot[iv_start:iv_end]
deciphering some already generated "signatures" proved that these were the key and iv used for "signing" the images.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is coming next?
Inspecting the signatures that were originally uploaded and the ones that people can generate now, I found only one pattern.
The only similarities were the first 16 bytes of each "signature". I believe that only the magic number is needed, and none of the garbage that follows. This has been confirmed by the LG G3 dev from CyanogenMod, Invisiblek Done

How to use it?
I don't know how well this will run on anything other than linux, so for now.. I won't talk about it.
First, ensure you are using python2
then run the script
Code:
python2 open_bump.py "/path/to/boot.img"
flash the output, and enjoy

Thanks to:
Obviously, this wouldn't have been possible without Codefire since I wouldn't have known where to look, or that it was exploitable. And it was them that found the magic key.
Big thank you to @pulser_g2, who offered invaluable input on cryptography
Big thank you to @invisiblek, who I mercilessly kanged the main part of the image padding script from
note:
The original part of finding this information out was done on my own with guidance from pulser. The final results of this are posted above.

Thanks, thats great news to have an open source tool here!
Do you see any chance that this could be integrated into CWM/TWRP so that the recovery rom could bump the boot/recovery images before flashing?
Because the boot/recovery.img has to be extracted from the ROM-zip before flashing, bumping it here would make sure that the phone can boot the image even with the newer bootloader.
This would be great for rom-devs since they don't have to change anything and it would even bump roms that are not maintained anymore.

simple answer, this can be added to the build step really easily. See this commit
edit:
of course it may be useful to make a c program to do this.... I shall think on it.
Propably stupid question but i ll give a shot. Since we have the magic key we cant just skip the bump stuff totally? As i can understand, i dont wait official developer team join the bump train, thats why the damn development of the device is really back while the hardware is more than capable.
**To the OP i wish i could give you a thousand likes sir!
After getting the bootloader may be open G3؟؟
Why not use the original Bump?
Quote:
Codefire has been extremely vague about their method, obviously to prevent someone else replicating their results.
They are also storing people's data unnecessarily, and even adding some information relating to the user in to the "signature", possibly for tracking purposes.
As a result of it being an external service, many reputable teams (which won't be named unless they want to be) have said they will not use it, and would rather wait till LG releases the official unlock method.
Finally, Codefire have said the sha1sum of the boot image is required. Whether they knew or not, it is NOT required, and I will be changing this tool to compensate for that.

Happy you found a new exploit for us builders and devs, just feel like you kinda disrespected codefire team by accusing them of things before actually talking to them, seems a bit counter productive, this may piss them off and next device you can kiss new exploits by them good-bye,
just my 2 cents on the matter,
i'd remove the line...
in any case thank you very much, i will add it to my build script

"Bump stuff" has nothing to do with users, the devs and builders do the "bumping", and development of the G series has nothing to do with bumping, it just takes time to bring everything up
Good job cybojenix. (moderator edit: watch your language please)
Way to ruin a good thing.
I'm done with Android now. You can do it all now - since you obviously know better than me and everyone else.
I don't appreciate people trying to blackmail me - EnderBlue and Cybo both.
Don't believe me? http://hastebin.com/gulumezawi.txt
Good job guys. Way to ruin unlocks for all future LG phones.
If I *EVER* decide to come back, I will not be releasing anything as free or open source. You've sullied my impression of the open source community. Anything I do will be private releases from now on.
LG hadn't patched Bump, and they were going to leave it alone for us as long as we kept it as a service.
Well, looks like that's over and done with.
Bump included a hash of the image that you uploaded and a hash of your developer ID, and some random junk bytes. That's all. It's exactly what we said it was doing.
Well, hey, now you're free to take over and write roots and unlocks for all LG phones since you obviously have the talent to do so.
Let's be honest though, without my team's hard work that you stole, you wouldn't have been able to do any of this.
But you knew that, you're just a bottom feeder.
I don't get angry often at all- but congrats! You've succeeded in making me mad! Achievement unlocked!
I'm done. Your turn.
EDIT: Also, you know you can't open source your project either considering it contains 'stolen' LG crypto keys. https://github.com/CyboLabs/Open_Bump/issues/1
Have fun with that one.

First off, I didn't black mail. I gave your team notice about open sourcing it after reverse engineering the LG bootloader, not your "signatures".
It's your choice if you want to leave Android. Pinning the blame on me is somewhat childish though.
LG not patching Bump? That's a ludicrous statement, and even if it's true, it's good that this script got released. That way they know it should be patched, since having it a service clearly makes all the difference to them.
The hardest part of your teams work was getting the keys. If you know where to look, then it's easy enough to get engineering builds which I suspect contain the master magic bytes which you released.
I'm honestly shocked at your reaction though. I gave your team all the credit and stated which parts I did myself. The part about the service, and the deception was justified.
You tried to obscure something which by logic can't be obscured. That's how so many people realised they can just append the bytes to the image.
So which one would you rather have, LG not patching the exploit (as you so claim), and having an unknown number of people in china running around flashing custom boot images, or have everyone know how to do it to force LG to recheck their security measures.
What I did may not have been fantastic for the community, but what you did was insanely dangerous for the 90% of LG users.
All you did was make it so LG locks down the bootloader. And really 90% of users??? There probably isn't even 3 percent of the LG base on this website. All you did was screw everybody else over so you could have YOUR OFFICIAL CM.
As well people saying you didn't do enough and are still using there signing key as well as attacking it as well.
Way to think about yourself. You didn't care about the 90% or you wouldn't have done this.
I personally hope LG locks down the bootloader now. Go the way Samsung did and put an efuse on it and prevent downgrading. Hopefully all this happens with lollipop so you can screw over the rest of the LG crowd.

"Hey let's potentially close all future LG unlocks and thus the chance to use CyanogenMod on future LG devices then. Just so I can get the current CM builds to say 'Official' and get a big pat on the back from the CM dudes who probably don't care about me too much."
Is that what went through your mind? That instant gratification and ignorance really shows who you are because that's exactly what I see from this OP of yours. Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame. You probably just killed a chance for years of it.

Yes, because I've been such a massive supporter of cm. (sarcasm in case you didn't realise).
I started reverse engineering the bootloader for research purposes. If it was more complex than what I have said above, then I probably wouldn't have done this thread.
If it weren't for the fact that the magic stays the same across all signatures, then I also wouldn't have done this thread.
The response I got from them when I contacted them before releasing this was pretty much one of lack of care. So I went ahead and posted it.
I couldn't care less about fame. In fact there isn't really a lot I do care about, but I won't have the community alienated in to thinking the codefire service was such a great thing.
And once again, I refuse to take the blame for their team leaving Android.

See my other post, I don't care about cm.
Fair enough, 3% are here, so this benefits the security of 97% of lg uses, if the claim that lg was alright with it running s a service is true.
Either way, I did nothing wrong

I saw your PM to autoprime in IRC, it was "I am going to post what I found or you do, either way its going there", it wasn't lack of care, it was that you just stated a fact and left, it was a very rude unthoughtful thing to do, also don't try to BS everyone with your research, you and about 100 other people found the "magic keys", the problem is those "magic keys" were placed there by team codefire, you didn't find them, you found that they were using the key and copied their work, anything else you say is a lie, at least the other 99 people who found this had the basic respect to not post it unless the original team allowed it.
There was no reason to post this, their site was working fine, and if you used the API there was no problem of tracking since it just uses a UID to identify to the server.
at least admit you were wrong and say you are sorry, they won't fix anything but will gain you a minimum amount of respect

Wrong, I stated that I was going to open source it, meaning the work of put in to getting the key and how it's used to get the original magic.
It was after that that I realised the final magic is the only thing needed. I actually worked out how to get the magic key a few hours ago, but since I don't have the right images, it won't be globally usable.
Fair enough, I apologise for pointing out the flaws in codefires service, and that they took it badly.

It isn't like it matters if you are or not. It says right in the chat he doesn't want it open sourced. I'm sure about 99% of the people on here have seen that already and I'm pretty sure you have seen it as well.

but the chat wasn't with me, so your point is null
autoprime had ample opportunity to say "don't do it yet", or "go talk to IO". but no, no objections were made.
Codefire treated the service like any other company would treat their unlocking service, so I treated them like a company and showed how it was done.

I hear the op's frustration - I feel it too and yes patience is required. We don't have a large amount of Dev's available and they have lives. This is all done for free. If you prefer more active development, I'd suggest a Nexus device next round which is the route I may take due to locked bootloaders and such

Agreed!
Were lucky to have the devs we have at all, we gotta remember as badass as our phone still is... it's already a 2 year old phone and devs among other people switch phones all the time.

Devs switching phones is a big problem with older devices for sure. I'm not sure how many devs stuck it out waiting for the official MM to drop honestly.
I myself was all psyched for the note 7 since my note 4 is almost paid for now, but with a locked bootloader and no root I may to look elsewhere for my next device.
Check the section again and Overdrive just posted stock rom with mods available for it. And it's not that easy to start making roms when you get a software.
Here is the link.

Unless that was some bone dry sarcasm, you answered your own question (bold text in your quote). For the sake of clarification, the talented, generous devs who have immeasurably improved our Note 4 experience owe you nothing. You've paid money, likely a great deal of it, to Samsung/T-mobile and it took them 10 months to deliver an update. What have you contributed to the developers who use their own free time to work extremely hard and freely share the fruits of their labor (which puts the aforementioned profit-driven entities to shame) that entitles you to expect a custom fine-tuned ROM within "a few days"?
If you want to run MM the stock ROM is finally ready and waiting. You can even do so with root access and customize it to the extent of your ability... again thanks to the most valuable members of this community who receive little if anything more than our appreciation and respect in return.
There will be custom TW MM ROMs when and if developers are ready to take time out of their busy lives to create and release them. Whenever that happens to be, the members who participate and contribute what they can to this community will be extremely appreciative. Thankfully the group here is a friendly and helpful bunch. This subforum would be a ghost town if more shared the entitled attitude in this insulting joke of a topic. Waiting 10 months after release for a $$ "flagship" to be updated to the current OS by a company who wants you to continue paying them money is something to be upset about. Waiting... however long for a generous developer to rip that update apart and fine-tune it into something that they're willing to share with a (mostly...) supportive community is not.
I feel people took the OP a little too serious. I've been camping the forums for custom MM Roms since MM was released. Lucky the Note 4 is still popular and Samsung locking devices and making crappy changes has made a lot of Note 4 users not upgrade.

Perhaps because you and the OP are still unfamiliar with the culture here on xda and the hard work and complete selflessness exhibited by developers in practically donating hours upon hours of their time.
To try and catch you up: you don't ask for eta's, you don't display any form of entitlement, and you don't complain development (Basically just be respectful). Camp forums all you want but don't waste forum space unless you have a legitimate question, comment, or contribution.
Furthermore, anyone that eager for development should never buy anything other than nexus. And even in nexus forum, the above guidelines should still be followed.

most of them will say works with 910t specifically, but in my testing if found that over 90% of the N910F
ROMS works on the 910T and if they dont work they just need the data fix patch ......
as far as kernels just make sure that the kernel is 910f compatible and match the android version correcttly
EXAMPLE:
v5.1.1 with v5.1.1
v6.0 with v6.0
v6.0.1 with v6.0.1
NOT v6.0 with v6.0.1 (this may or may not work, if it does't youll have to reflash the rom or odin back to stock)
Before I start saying anything and before anyone starts ranting or fighting or whatever I want to make one thing crispy clear: I don't want, under any circumstances, to fight or argue in any way with other developers, contributors, users, whatsoever nor do I want to claim anything as correct. I am anytime ready to accept it if I am proven wrong for anything. Show me a proof against what I said and I will accept it. I'm not claiming anything to be right what I'm saying, but as long as it is not proven wrong I'm assuming it is right. Of course some statements base on assumptions and guesses, hence there is no reason for ranting about something particular I said that I am not entirely sure of. I just want to get this out because it has been sitting inside of me for a while and this is the only way I can get it out without offending or insulting anyone.
A statement from my side regarding TWRP and ROMs for the OP5:
I have seen many device trees so far, and the "official" TWRP as well and I'm pretty disappointed to see people not wanting to work together. Of course there are exceptions, for example I have been working together with @benschhold and @gtpitch on TWRP as well as on ROMs and it has been a pretty good experience so far. But I have also seen @Dees_Troy releasing his own TWRP. I tried to contact him and whoever is behind TWRP earlier to get a working TWRP up and running and official. No response. At least I haven't seen anything. I am anytime ready to work together and build working stuff, but I'm not ready to see something that is exactly the same as I did (his TWRP literally has the same, if not more, issues than mine, as far as user reports have told us) and releases it as an official product which should have been tested and does not even fix the issues we have so far.
I know mine is unofficial and I have stated nowhere that this would be official but if you check the sources used for my recovery as well as take the user reports into consideration you will notice that none of the issues we currently have on the now latest recovery image, that is version 72, have been fixed in either mine or his recovery. I would have liked to work together with developers to build a stable, fully working custom recovery with as many parts of it totally free and open-sourced for anyone to inspect. Regarding authorship, I'm anytime ready to correct authors in case they are wrong. What I am not ready for is seeing others taking my work and putting it under their own authorship so that nobody will know about what I did and instead honor the non-existent work of others misleadingly causing the community to think I would have stolen the work from others.
As I already said, I am open to any corrections regarding this.
Another aspect is the custom ROM section. While it's all good and fine to see ROMs coming out for the OP5, none of these are actually stable and fully tested. They might have been flashed and booted up and roughly checked for functionality but not actually tested for quality (not claiming anything here). I really can see a race between ROMs, maybe even a war, everyone perhaps even stealing the work of each other and claiming to be first but of course saying it's super highly experimental and whatsoever.
Why is this happening? I know I have very low reputation for saying anything in this matter, even though I am lead developer and co-founder of a ROM. I don't want to claim that anyone stole my work, and I don't want to be showing examples as they might not even be right because some things can really be done by anyone without seeing what others did. But still, everyone is racing against each other, except for a few ROMs, and trying to say hey yo we brought this rom out for jellyburger super fast and we are the best... blablabla, whatsoever, make sure to decrypt, make sure not to do this not to do that, note this doesn't work.... I guess y'all get the point.
Why do people work against each other and not together? Just trying to be the best, the first, whatsoever? I mean it's cool when you are first and best but it's not cool pretending to be so and in reality just having taken a WIP tree from whatever github profile you just went on and saying your ROM is the first, while in reality you actually don't have any idea about what you are doing. Guys, really.... I appreciate when people do in fact help bringing up custom roms for the OP5, I admit that I also take advantage of that for building my own rom, but I also try to improve it, contribute to it, to make sure others have access to my work and using it without changing authorship. Of course many developers e. g. copy whole directories into their device tree instead of getting the whole commit history in, and, to some extent, that is more or less acceptable, because there is no really convenient way of doing so, but at least, when picking individual commits, do keep authorship. Thanks for your understanding and I hope this community does not become corrupted.
I'm open for a peaceful discussion in this thread, let's get it started!

The general issue here is we all work opensource even if they are official teamwin they could just copycated your changes(im not saying this just assuming), dont want to insult anyone here but thats how it goes opensource projects are open and you cant change this, on the other hand they could actually start working on it legitely even if your recorvery is pretty stable(i would say 99%) they started it before but were able to get it to same point but later. As for now we need more developers in kernel section but i see you doing a good job keep it up my dude. :good:

The point is that it seems to be that they don't even care about their users. Don't quote me on that, as it might be wrong, but it seems to be that they simply just want to look down on other developers and be the big guys.
While I try to provide good support as much as possible, and release all my changes mostly individually, he simply gave it out once and every now and then might eventually look at the last 5 posts and maybe answer. I mean... I know he probably has alot of work to do but still. Released something officially without even checking for bugs. They say they make sure they provide quality but I can't see the quality there.
And for the other thing you mentioned... Most of the things they have in their tree really seem to be something that has been around for a longer time, but not actually made by themselves and just committed recently:
I don't really know why everyone tells to.keep authorship and maintaining a commit history and what not but end up simply copy and pasting the whole tree and commit that at once. Whatever. If this doesn't stop soon, I will start thinking about whether it is really worth doing this because from my point of view this is just looking down on me and releasing something that does not even work quite as well just to keep me away. I know I might be wrong anytime but this is what it feels like.

The next thing here is we shouldn't really assume anything cuz it might be making us look stupid, i would generally say to not care about what they do and i can say that most phones i had, used twrp from users there was no official ones and even if there was it wasn't functioning like other.
Right now how i see it is they opened a thread and called it official(i don't remember if they called it stable) and most users like official stuff so this generally looks funny from your pov, from mine too as i am self called open source developer and i know general ideas behind being open.
The only issue here i can see is that he doesn't respond to you soo it looks bad i really wouldn't assume anything cuz it can piss off a few ppl that's what i want to generally tell you to kindof watch out on the community around this because it already looks weird. If you want you can pm me with your telegram nickname and ill add you to a group where we work on a kernel fixing a small gelatinous issue some(me included) have. Would be for best if he answered to your pms soo you can have a talk and for now it looks like "stolen" work but at the same time we shouldn't assume stuff, for now i don't really know what to say on this whole matter it really looks quite weird and i don't like it too.

Really pointless thread. If you've followed any of the other AOSP request threads, you'll know that it's a very complicated and involved task. Amassing "+1" posts isn't going to motivate anyone more to take on such a task.
On a more personal note, I don't know why someone would buy a device like the Note 8 just to strip it of all of its features. Personally, I bought my device because of all the features Samsung has put on it. I wouldn't put AOSP on this, likely even if someone paid me, because it would defeat the purpose of having this device in the first place.

Well, devs, I think, try to develop roms to attain a better experience, adding some features, taking out some not very popular ones, in general to make the overall performance better, as Max Terrible here stated, buying a note series device to strip it down of ALL the features that make it what it is, in my opinion, is pointless, to that effect, you should get a pixel device, clean pure android out of the box

Do explain to me how having a thread full of people posting +1 to try and convince a dev to make an AOSP ROM, is considered supporting the dev?
I definitely support the devs and the great work they do on here, but recruiting a mob to basically create a petition for someone to do something you want, is not what I define as support.
I assure you, any and all devs working on the Note 8 are aware of the very, very small group of people that want an AOSP ROM.

There would be lot of people who dont upgrade mobile regularly (may be 6 months) some upgrade after 2 years. And u might be knowing samsung way of updates so aosp rom etc is very help to have a taste of latest updates. I know only note special things wont be working but many extra things u will get in these roms. Till now we are not able to use gcams! This shows development for this rom. Intent of this thread was to see popularity of this device and let dev see the demand:laugh:
