Petition Meizu for an open bootloader for all MX1s - Meizu MX

I just wanted some opinions on whether we should make a change.org petition. Thanks.

Anything is better than doing nothing so i am in :good:

Same here, I'm in.

In this matter, Meizu rarely listen to the views of the user! They think the Flyme good enough, users do not need to go to other system or DIY! They try to guide the user to the same as Apple, accept their arrangements, and continue to improve, eventually allowing users to like their products!But since from the MX2 can get ROOT permission, Meizu seems also to consider a gradual relaxation of restrictions!

How is it going with the Exynos sources?

Anyone know if Samsung has said anything new or is there any other news to the Exynos sources?
I did follow the thread that got locked down witch was good.
I don't have Facebook and I don't know how to use Twitter so it's not that easy to get news about the Exynos that the other thread provided.
It's going as suspected, right down the crapper, that is. Origenboard is "under construction" according to insignal.
Sh*tty as usual.
If there is a breakthrough you'll see some threads pop up about it.
I think it is time that the FESM | Free Exynos Sources Movement
thread should be unlocked and make use of the fact that Samsung needs good publicity with the release of S4. Now the 4412 is getting way behind the current chipsets including the new ones from the Exynos family, what the hell can still hold Samsung from releasing them>

Yea, but i do see where he's coming from, that same money, or the potential loss it may come from bad publicity by them not releasing said sources may tilt the scales enough for them to find it worth it to release them. They'll be more exposed to bad publicity when they're releasing a new flagship device.
Not sure how farfetched this sounds, but who knows what makes a big corp like samsung tick on their insides... i think it's worth the shot.

To be honest there aren't many financial reasons not to release sources especially for hardware used with an open source system. If any thing it looses them money because people will buy more open devices.
We for example like open source if we wanted a closed source system we would get either an iPhone or windows phone, or at the very least not root.
I really can't see what Samsung would loose from not releasing sources, the people who don't care aren't keeping up with the news so they essentially don't matter, what does matter is the people moving to other devices over the sources.

They want make people to continuously buy new devices. Who would upgrade his aftermarket phone if it's able to run new software (and, may be provide better experience than current devices)? And this means loss of potential income for them.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It is true that (not) releasing the sources would affect just a tiny percent of their sales but it is often the case that those people are asked for advice when someone is buying a new phone. After the worst possible experience with LG I have personally revert 10+ people even considering LG as possibility and recommended sony as alternative.
Also there is a case (as myself) that are not informed about the problems with CM before buying the phone as it never came to my mind that the most developed family of phone will have problems with cyanogen.
It would be great if we can work together with the S2 community because when the phone gets into the third year of existence it is more dependent on CM than official moded roms.

Most of the people who want to run CM so they dont buy new device are familiar with this problem are more likely not to update to Samsung anyway.
so what's so hard about using Twitter?
Well at least we should organise not just some useless spam now and then.
You seriously think it would matter if you organize or spam now and then? They couldn't care less either way.
You have more chance to have Lisa Ann and Amy Reid in your bed at the same time than seeing these sources mate forget about them...CM 10.1 runs prtty nicely on our device even if it could be way better

Yes, because it relies on CM10.1.
And I don't agree with you guys: even if Samsung don't release the sources, it's too easy to leave them alone (they don't comply with their license obligations, plus their promise, and on top of that, nobody bothers them), at least we should let them know we don't like to be f***** and it was the last device we buy from them.
that's cute
you're so naive

Bricked device, are you kidding me?

When I first got into trying knew roms on my galaxy s and saw all the warnings about bricking the phone, I could not believe it.
Samsung is that primitive that it can not make a device that is brick safe, or maybe it is made that way in purpose?
As a software engineer - working in a small company that manufacture communication chips - I know all about the potential to sw brick a chip, and if we as a company that is maybe 0.1% from Samsung made sure that this is not possibile - unless a hw defect has occured - there is no reason for a giant like samsung to leave us the users of devices much much more expensive and sophisticated exposed to such a risk, unless they want us to get there and void our warranty and make us buy a new device, which is realy pathetic, since most of us will upgrade anyway to a new device when it comes out.
Instead of having a good reputation among us users and by that guarantee our loyalty, they get a reputation of a petty company.
A few years have passed and they released this powerfull device, more powerful than my home PC as of today, and we still facing the same shame.
I believe it is the same with other companies which leave us without any alternatives.
Hope they will realize that someday and we will not have to be affraid of bricking our devices anymore.

I guess you mean how easy it is to make it un brickable?
Well if that is what you mean then it is very easy especially when the chip set is of your own making like tge exynos.
You simply incoporate a boot rom that is not erasable which starts the boot process if it finds a valid firmware. If not it loads a firmware via the usb port.
This boot rom can be part of the chip or an otp device that is programmed with the boot rom at manufacturing time and thats it. You end up with fool proof device that is always recoverable even if it is totaly erased.
Hope this clears things a bit.

Taking it to a ridiculous place is not my meaning and I do not want to go there.
Let me give you an example:
You could take your car and rev the engine so fast so you whould ruin it and will not be able to blame it on the car manufacturer. So why car manufacturer today put a rev limiter so thing like this will not happen?
Do you see what I mean yet or should I give you another example?

Let me ask this - if Samsung did not want thier devices to be altered in any way why go for an open source os, why not go like Apple on a closed proprietary os or os like windows and thats it. No one can change it and that it. Why go for an open source os but make every effort to not let it be changed , maybe even enhanced by other developers?
And don't tell me that they do not make a profit from all the magnificent minds out there making the os so much more interesting.

Much cheaper already successful formula ... samsung tried and still tries to produce their own software ... if it becomes at any point as good ans as popular as iOS eg ... they will ditch android any time ... samsung and all companies want to trap users into their ecosystem so they can sell most of their own thing maximizing profit ...

Samsung are just 'covering their ass' so to speak. They provide you with a device, with their own software. They then provide warranty and service to said device and software.
If you want to install your own software, Samsung are merely stating that they are not responsible for what you do with your phone, as after all, it may be the fault of the firmware that bricks your phone, not Samsung's problem. Also, they don't want to provide support for the billions of firmware versions out there.
Samsung could put in various ways (e.g. locking the bootloader) to stop users from bricking their phones, but then they'd end up like Apple and iOS with a 'walled garden' approach to software/hardware. This is not what Android is about (in my opinion).
There's a fine balance between letting users do what they want with the products they have purchased and protecting people from their own stupidity. Android is all about the former and Samsung are merely protecting themselves when noobs break their phone and come crying to the store asking for a warranty replacement for their own stupidity.
And as for outing Samsung from all the other Android device manufacturers, HTC also has similar warnings when you start flashing your phone.
I really can't understand your frustration , sorry
Edit: and about the car...again noobs should not do that kind of stuff if they don't have the knowledge IMO. Common sense is something we all should use..then maybe we don't need to put warning signs on the microwave "pls don't put in cat" or McDonalds "hot coffee " ..

Who said I'm frustrated? I'm just pointing out something that I think should have been done to secure the user - much like the car - especially when using an open source os which the whole idea - as I see it - is that it can be modified enhanced etc by the users, which can lead to errors and mistakes - or maybe I got it wrong.
Thats it.
Appart from that I'm happy with the device but whould be happier if the above was done.

Samsung is using Android because it's free and it has many apps in the Store. Nothing more. It's just business. They had BADA OS as their own smartphone-system, and now it's dead because people want android. It's hard for new systems to fight with android and ios. Look at WP, only few % of market share. So why make own system, pay money for development, when you can use a giant for free? Again - it's just business. They are giving you a device with all it needs in Samsung's opinion. If you want more and you remove original rom and brick the device - that's your fault. If you change engine in your car and destroy something while putting the new engine, you can't blame manufacturer, right? The car was working good as a manufacturer said. But it is you, who wanted a faster car and made a mistake. You should just buy a faster car

Even the rev limiter can be bypassed if the user wants to. As a "software engineer" you should already be aware of this. In the end, a system will always have an exploitable area. Even if the OEM places all needed idiot proofing, there will always be someone who'll render all those idiot proofing useless.
You say you company makes sure that your chips are brick free, but what that means is you company put all necessary/known steps for it to be brick proof.
That's what Microsoft, and other sw security firms says until someone finds and exploitable area they didn't know of.

If you are using a custom ROM, you can bet your ass it will be obsolete.
None of the devs except maybe 2 in the whole community have stuck with a device they are developing for once a new one comes out. They'll abandon users as soon as something new comes out.
I actually came to this forum to see if there was a stock 4.3, because I'm sick and tired of devs who walk out on their users.
Any ROM developers reading this: Yes, this most likely means you.
The DONATIONS you give these guys gives them enough money to get something new; that means, you paid for your own demise.
I'll probably get some flak over this comment, but I've been a member since 2006, I see the trends.

The whole paying for your own demise is unfair too, these guys put hours of effort & probably stressful nights into these ROMs & upload these ROMs for FREE but the option is there to DONATE if you would like to. I have only just got a 2012 n7 & hope to learn enough to keep it running as long as the hardware will last. If you want to keep custom ROMs in development have a go at it rather than sitting back & waiting for it serving up on a plate for free & being ungrateful for what you have actually been given. Remember these guys have lives & jobs & families outside providing FREE ROMs for you.

I am scared ****less to unlock my device because I know the devs are already abandoning it. I would rather Verizon come out with 4.3 and I can get a nexus 7 4.3 and be on my merry way developing more apps.
When you have something device centric and the users gave you donations to support your development on that device, you are not supposed to walk away from those users like most do. Essentially, they screw the user because they walk off with the money and never look back. If they were business people they wouldn't be in business long for all the lawsuits they would encounter.
Tell me you haven't had this happen to you before.

If he was going to complain about developers doing what they want with their own free time, I'm not surprised he didn't think things through about where factory images come.
Newsflash: donations are voluntary contributions. They are not the same as service fees or commission payment. They carry no legal obligations. If you choose to donate to a dev to get a device, you're acknowledging in the act of donation that the dev is under no contract to support a device for any length of time.
It's very different from what you appear to be imagining, which is some bizarre situation where devs draw up contracts to do crowdfunded work and then breach some "agreement" they made with their users. If a carrier that you pay money for service stops providing services, they're legally liable for that. But if you donate money to a dev? Good luck getting anyone to give a hoot. Caveat emptor.

Interested in Hyperdrive ROM for note 10.1 2014? Support needed.

Hello all Note 10.1 2014 owners.
I am starting this thread to see who is interested in a Hyperdrive ROM.
If you are not familiar, it is a ROM developed by sbreen94 on predominantly Samsung Galaxy devices. Probably one of the best and most popular ROMs out there. Check a few of the Galaxy development threads and you will understand.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4600715
He has been developing for the old Note 10.1 for a while, he does not own a Note 10.1 2014. However, he said if we can put a 2014 edition in his hands he would be more than willing to create the ROM.
Is there any interest in this? I figure a 16gb refurb would do which can be had for around $350.
haspampel and hashcheck have developed two great KK ROMS so far, but it seems development for this tablet is otherwise lacking. This would be a superb addition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
UPDATE 5/23/2014
Everything looks to be in place. Nabour's costs have been covered, see her post if interested in the details. Any further donations should be directed to sbreen as additional people see fit.
We will now patiently await, and I stress patiently . Any additional insights could be posted in this thread while sbreen is developing but let's not be bothering him. To quote Fat Sam from the movie Fletch "When it comes, it comes"
Thanks again to all who made this happen!
Depends... we would get him for wi-fi only version or lte?
:good: If users around here are interested in this, i would be happy to make and support a rom for you!
We really need a custom rom for P601 badly, I know that would be a big hit here now, as currently there is only 1 that is not upgraded that often.
Ran Hyperdrive ROM on my ATT S3 for a long time before exploring KitKat Rom options. Lots of options and customization. I'd definitely be interested if a ROM was developed.
Definately interested! SM-P600 here...
After how Scrolser took our money and ran I don't really trust donating to anyone anymore.

Loving it on my Verizon gs4, would be a good incentive towards rooting this device.

Would love to see this ROM for the P600.....although I have to agree with Blend.

I'm sure you're a nice person and all and well respected here on XDA. Problem is... so was Scrolser and he left us out to dry. A well respected Dev and he got our money, bought the tablet and ended up selling it later while promising to still update our note's (which hasn't happened BTW). Yeah... that left a pretty sour taste in my mouth.

Guys, sbreen94 is the real deal. He currently supports 4 or 5 devices. He just doesn't get a new one and forgets about the old ones like some devs do. I will start off the bidding at $20.00 for the wifi model (P600). This would be a most excellent addition to the Note 10.1 2014 community.

I can definitely see how that would upset you and I think it would me too. In the end this is up to you guys and whether or not you guys would like a killer rom for your device. I'll continue to support the phones that I currently own either way

Guys, I would totally support Mr. Breen. I have used Hyperdrive on my Galaxy Note 3 and it is an amazing rom. He is an experienced, top-rated developer.
Let me know how this works - do we just start sending donations, or is it more organized than that.

Yes!
I would love to see this rom available for this device!
P600
I would be ok to trow some bucks in for p605, but i doubt there will be anyone else, since we are so few. (i think?)
You can count on 10$ donation from me if you decide to start working on it.
Donations etc.
I figured it would be for the P600 since that is what a majority of people probably own, and it is the easier of the three to be had for a lower price.
I don't know how to organize donations. Perhaps we should do it bounty style with people posting what they can contribute, I'll keep track.
Put me down for $40.
sbreen is legit. He has always well supported all of his roms for all of his devices. I think you'll have an impossible time finding anyone to say anything negative about his work.
Let's keep this ball rollin' :laugh:

I'll go $40.00 as well....
Thanks for the support guys. I would say let's go for the Wi-Fi model which is the P600 I'm assuming. I think posting the amount you are able to contribute in this thread is good so we can keep track. I should probably be able to chip in like 50$ of my own funds toward it

Google quietly removes Android One’s main selling point?

Is it true?
https://pokde.net/news/google-quietly-removes-android-ones-main-selling-point/
What? I hope it's not true...

Google Pixel 3 lite is almost ready (quietly), rendering all android one products a direct competitor? I'm glad. Google gave like 3 years for the cheap to come up with something consistent. Yet all we got was bugs and incompetent support. (and before someone beheads me, i own other branded android one phones too, not just xiaomi). My two cents.
So what?
In that case, we`ll use custom ROM`s.
