Development for the J4 - Samsung Galaxy J Questions & Answers

Usually when a New J series is out, our community of great developers are all over it finding ways to root and making rooms. Since the J4 has been out for a few months there hasn't been any sort of news or updates. Are there any teams working on it?

I'm afraid that the possibility is slim, since the J4 is not widely released (do correct me if I'm wrong) in the US, UK, or other big-market countries, but rather released in smaller-market countries in Africa, Asia, etc, and even so released rather quietly w/out major press releases. So unless the phone is widely released (relative to other Galaxy phones out there), I'm inclined to believe that such teams would have little to no access to the J4, and thus no development to progress for it.
(Believe me, I'm remaining optimistic that at least an unofficial recovery might be on the works, but there won't be much progress unless the J4 is more widely used/picked-up)

Or, you can learn how to do it yourself.
Not the TWRP porting, but you can definitely MOD your stock ROM to add features Samsung annoyingly disable for not being a "premium" device.
You don't need to know much of coding, you can learn as you go. When the J2 Prime was released (and even to this day) there aren't any custom ROMs so I had to teach myself and I've accomplished great things
Just wait for TWRP and then the doors will open, you'll see

Huh, that's interesting; I'll surely take a look.
Could you further elaborate on the "features" that Samsung disabled? (I don't use a lot of Samsung G's built-in features, so I'm not too knowledgeable on such; tried Google-searching, only came up w/ disabling apps, so that didn't really help...)

For starters, things like edge screen or scroll capture (things that I use a heck of a lot)
I found it funny is that all it took as to change a bit of code here and there, add the right apps and edge screen was working perfectly on the J2 Prime (a very low-end phone).
Samsung went out of their way to delete this feature which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
Themes were also disabled for this device, but after reading a few guides I was able to implement a ROM control that allows the user to change the color to their liking
The dev community is always willing to lend a hand, just as long as you're not lazy and expect everything to be put out for you.
I feel the J4 can make a dev out of someone looking to add more functionality to their device (the J2 Prime made a dev out of me )

Ok, so the TWRPBuilder's experimental TWRP build (huge thanks to @yshalsager for this miracle) is on TWRPBuilder's site: twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/
Like any TWRP builds, there is ABSOLUTELY zero guarantee that it would work (I tried the first one & it didn't work, haven't had the chance to test the latest one yet)

The J4 uses identical chipset as the J5 prime G570F/M/DS.
I have both and they are great phones for their segment.
Sadly neither are well supported by ROM developers, due to the Exynos chip, I think.

@yshalsager did a test custom recovery for J4 (via TWRPBuilder): https://twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/
Have been unable to test it atm (stuck in 7-day jail); if you want to have a go at it & let him know the results, go right ahead!

but first we have to unlock oem.but the problem is no oem unlock in the settings

Yeah that's the 7-day "jail" I was talking about - theoretically you have to leave your phone on non-stop (no reboots, no shutdowns) for 7 whole days straight, then the OEM Unlock option should become available in Dev Settings (it's a confusing security measure by Samsung on Oreo devices)

any update guys? im really bored with this phone now

[Q] Will the 'S Pen' (and pen-pressure) work with other ROMs?

I'm used to working with pens on my laptop so I plan on using the phone's pen a lot.
But I also really like to run modded ROMs.
So my question is:
Will the phone's 'S Pen' (and pen-pressure) work with other ROMs?
It should work, S Pen is connected to touchwiz, and as i know, most custom roms to samsung based on touchwiz so it should work. If you ask if it works with other launchers, then i don't know..

I believe it will only work with apps like sketchbook and so on, you will not be able to write on calendar , cut print screen etc... which is added inside the rom of the note2 not part of jellybean.

yeah forgot about samsung based custom roms never used touchwiz only purchased google's own vanilla device.
IMO, the S pen features should work on all ROMs that are based on the Touchwiz framework. But unless the guys behind CyanogenMod and other devs (I'm looking at you @Codeworkx) manage to create something magical, the S pen features won't work on anything other than Stock based custom ROMs. Hope that helped!
I think the S Pen will not be very useful with AOSP ROMS like CM10 or AOKP once they are available since there is no S Note.
The S-Pen will function normally on touchwiz based roms. Gestures and S-note/memo wont be available in AOSP based ROMs though. Although there are some great replacement apps like memo from the play store. Its what I currently use on my N1

Not likely to happen. If CM comes to the Note 2, it will only be if a new maintainer steps up.
Most of the current Exynos maintainer team (myself, espenfjo, codeworkx) and others have all decided that our current devices will be our last non-Nexus Exynos devices. I'm not sure about xplodwild, but I have a feeling he's highly unlikely to take up another Haxxinos with the rest of us gone and given his prior experiences with it.
If Samsung changes their attitude towards developers, this might change, but their attitude lately (zero documentation, zero platform source code, a trend towards bootloader locking - Only the Verizon S3 has a locked bootloader now, but Samsung has had the infrastructure in place since the S2 and they are constantly adding more checks) has led to the current Exynos maintainer team deciding that enough is enough. I don't think any of us are going to do anything to make Samsung's Exynos devices more attractive to any particular market segment until they provide assistance (in the form of technical documentation and source code) in return. I don't know about the others, but if they offer me a free device I'll say no - I refuse to participate in a PR stunt like the I9100 donations were.
Pretty much the only way I'll go back is if I see reference platform source that is up to the same standards as CAF and omapzoom, or they actually start providing real documentation and source code for the devices I'm currently working with.
Try Papyrus Beta for a note app replacement!

CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, or any other ROMs?

Would Cyanogen Mod be interested in developing for this phone now that we have unlocked bootloader? Given the choice, I'd love Paranoid Android, but I went hold my breath.
CM is already in development . https://github.com/CM-zenfone2
BrokenROM https://github.com/BrokenROM/device_asus_moorefield
Seems that are only for ZE551ML I hope that will be compatible with ZE550ML
If someone can get pure AOSP or CM working, the ROMs will flow out like water... once a base is established building many ROMs is easy. If we get CM, then look for ROMs like Beanstalk, BlissPop, Carbon, , etc. to follow closely behind. Patience, it will happen...

Good to see Asus is showing commitment to this phone. Also great to see you guys are embracing the aftermarket ROM community. More vendors need to be supportive like this.
We love the enthusiast community - you guys are the ones that like to tinker and have contributed to our growth over the years when we were just a motherboard vendor. I bet many of you still have fond memories of building PCs with our components before tinkering with phones .

Awesome! Is there/will there be collaboration with the developers regarding the kernel and device tree from ASUS as well? That would be key to have a fully-working custom ROM in the nearer future (versus the developers having to learn from scratch and sort of fend for themselves, kludging their way along and delaying the end goal).
So exciting!
We post our kernel source, but that's all we can offer, unfortunately. Our software development is done at our Taiwan HQ. But if any devs need anything, just send me a PM and I'll ask our software team.

This makes not much sense to me honestly. Why locking a bootloader in the first place and then stating to push development hard by providing test phones to specified devs?
But still I want to thank you for your commitment in making this phone a huge success - we'll kick Galaxy and Xperia and the likes out once done
Good thing to see Asus sharing to make custom ROMs efficient.
Already on Harfainx's ROM, can't wait to see things going even further.

This is my push from Technical Marketing for North America due to needs and wants for the US market. I place great emphasis on the community that has made many of the previous phones I've owned so great. I want that for the ZF2.
I'll probably start development for this phone once i get it. Never worked with an x86 android device before but it sounds like a fun challenge

Hi,
I've got some sort of situation here concerning building the kernel for ZF2 on my own. I downloaded the kernel source from ASUS website and followed the instructions one by one (download the android source code, use the appropriate toolchain, issue the kernel build command using fhd_defconfig, etc.
The phone boots and works good, BUT:
The phone never gets to deep sleep mode because of hsic_s3_wlock (kernel wakelock from USB HSIC). Could you please ask someone from the technical department to check what is causing this or if any config entry is missing? I am really starting to doubt that this is something I can influence at all

Stock Firmwares (SM-P600 and others)

Hey everyone.
Been awhile since I've been back here and I wasn't sure about all the new changes.
Couldn't find any information regarding the stock firmwares and if we are allowed to upload them here.
I'll Explain Further:
Stock Samsung firmwares used to be free to download at good speeds from samsung-updates (I think?), but now they go through download services that cost money unless you want to wait 8 hours for a slower download.
There were threads that listed all the stock firmwares bwfore and I was wondering if I could start a thread for downloading all the SM-P600 stock firmwares (and other Note 10.1" 2014 variations)?
Nice to be back and finally have a device I can play with. It's been YEARS :highfive:

Hi h311sdr0id,
i see you are a developer... If you say you wan't to play with that device, does that mean you have intention to build a custom rom or kernel for p600
This would be the best news since 6 month for p600 owners!
Though I'm not a fan of having to wait, it seems a fair comprimise. Typical "freemium" model. Slow is fine for occasional flashers, but the serious ones will want to pay. It costs to host/manage these updates so seems perfectly fair to me...

I am trying to get back into the realm of XDA and get used to how things are (before I had to take a little vacation). The last device I developed on was a Note 3/4..
I had a lot of people pretty pissed off at me for leaving when I did, but it wasn't my choice. So I need to re-clarify a few things with anyone looking for my first post in awhile:
Any insider information I had before this post was made here, is no longer something I can talk about. If you haven't had a chance to look around and read about what happened to me, you should. I am sorry for letting anyone down, but I had to choose my freedom over a device.
Plus, any information I had (including all of the work I had saved on my computers/devices) was taken from me. I have no access to any of it and I will never see it again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So now that that's out of the way... Yes, I do plan on working on a ROM for the P600.
My work was usually geared towards ODEXED Stock Roms with all the fun stuff available that DEODEX had to offer. Many of the tweaks that were strictly available to DEODEX ROMs back then had to be reverse-coded to work with ODEX ROMs. I spent a lot of time dropping down ROMs from 1.2GB down to 250MB with add-on available. But I ran (and still run) these tiny ROMs on some of my other devices and they work great to this day.
I am working on a new Live AIO Distro (Debian/Ubuntu) for Android Development. That will continue to be my largest project. But I will be working on the P600 exclusively for a while. I just got one as a gift from another DEV.
If there's anything you are interested in specifically, please let me know. I will open a ROM Thread pretty soon to get some more ideas of what people are looking for.

I used to run my ROMs with weekly updates and fixes when they needed them. But for the most part, people didn't have many issues with my ROMs because I would spend a lot of time on them and test them thoroughly before releasing them. But I also kept to only a few devices at a time. Many big developers have many devices they're working on and so it's hard to spend too much time on one or two devices specifically. Only knew a few DEVs that really kept up on devices like hat back in the day.
But, no. I won't need money for anything. I have plenty of resources available to me that won't cost anyone anything. I do this as a hobby.
Thanks for that comprehensive statement. This are great news, because development for p600 was very poor during the last month...
I think the most important things for p600 we would like to have are:
- a stable stock kernel with permissive rights
- development support for cm 13, because many things doesn't work with it like camera, IR Blaster, Screen Mirroring and we have bad battery life. It also isn't compatible with LP 5.1.1 Bootloader (causing sound issues, random reboots etc.)
- A fast and debloatet stock rom with permissive rights, performance and batterylife optimizations
If you would be able to work on only one of these points, you would be a hero for most p600 owners
Any chance you would be willing to work on a sm-607t rom?
Im not cooking since windows mobile, but ill test.
I can also upload a backup of the stock rom to mega so you dont have to wait 8 hrs to download it.

we want fully developers support to this device

Kindly don't leave samsung A71 users alone.we have to much hope and faith that the developers will be developing their ROMS for this device too.

If you check other 730 or 730G devices, you can quickly find two flaws.
- There are no roms or development whatsoever.
- The battery life / power usage of this specific chip is pretty bad.
It is rumored that the Pixel 4a (or XL?) will use a 730, so that may help, even though Pixel 3a has never had any rom development either really.

I don't think this is true and I believe there's nothing wrong with 730 / 730G. You say that there are no roms or development WHATSOEVER for other devices running the same SoC, take a look over Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T sub-forum here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/development. I can see many roms available already so neither the 730 is bad nor the devices running on top of it are left in the dust. It is a matter of market interest and let's be honest, many mid-range devices exist that give better value for money than Galaxy A71 and it happens that most of them run other SoC and therefore, 730 may not get enough attention and that's all.

I'm sorry but this is just BS. Here's what Qualcomm says about it:
The Snapdragon 730 serves up powerful performance and impressive battery life. It’s built to handle some of the most sophisticated on-device interactions, fueled by an 8nm process for extreme power efficiency in a small size.
Click to expand...

It is not that Qualcomm advertising their SoC, the better the technology (8nm), the more power-efficiency the SoC is. If you still insist on you opinion, please share some references that backs your claim up.
I believe the best statement to say here already said by the OP in the topic title: we want fully developers support to this device. It is not that developers hate 730 or that it is bad but they don't find enough reasons to buy devices with 730 because other better phones (overall) with the same price (or more affordable phones with similar performance but different SoC) exist.

Twrp is pretty useless with nothing to flash with it
Root and twrpwould be superb.
Not useless, as you can flash mods, like screen bootlogo to hide boot locker warning for example.
I got rid of the s10 plus and got an A71.
Could not justify the pricetag and performance compared to the a71.
So sold on, and half of that money bought me the a71, happ days
Aslong as can root which is main thing, do some customisation's, i'm happy
I'd be willing to do a custom ROM release for the A71 if I knew where to start, I'm a developer but never worked on Android "ROMs" before.
My goal would be a clean stable version of the Stock OS with the Google/Pixel apps installed and the Samsung crud removed.

Uguys want to change this about a71?
If yes, please search for a71 development group in telegram. Step by step, every one can contribute to start decelopment. It will b extremely hard since most samsung snapdragon bssed devices released in 2019 and after will face lot of issues in sources and bug fixing. This is exactly how a70 decelopment started. It is still in a developingvphase. But because of contributions from every one and some exceptional devs like grarak, xtutorials etc.. a70 has an almost workable source to start with.
Lets see if a71 ysers are just as keen as a70 users to bring custom development for this device.
Joining the telegram group would be a start. We can coordinate from there on.

Considering the amount of publicity this phone has been getting, it's just a matter of time.
Once there's proper source code for a ROM to be developed, you'll see ROMs being developed.
As it stands, the device is brand new, I mean come on it came out in January.
If my previous phone (Nokia 7 Plus) had custom ROMs despite not being able to unlock the bootloader for free because Nokia wouldn't let you, I doubt this phone won't get any ROMs.
has anyone tried any treble roms with this device?
Was going to say, the amount of publicity this phone has got and still going is up there with main flagship phones.
It is a cracking phone for sure, and would love like many, to have custom roms and further support for it.
We have to be patient, if it happens, all good, if not, it is what it is.
I guess the only bad thing is that there is no way around of not tripping Knox, despite it being a Qualcomm phone and not an Exynos phone.
So if you have insurance and/or warranty, you can kiss those two good bye the minute you decide to tamper with the bootloader.
isnt is possible to install AOSP GSI by phussion?
SURPRISE!
Hi guys, I am developer from Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite, and interesting in development to this device.
Mine ideas for this device:
* Debloated stock - stock with trash app removed, added features and other optimizing.
* TWRP - rooting and flashing will be easier
* Custom ROMs - any description needed here?
And ofc we will try boot GSI (maybe sGSI too) for this device!
Stay tuned!
(1st debloated stock version will be evelible in few weeks)

By the way, what do you guys think about making thread for this, so users will see something is happening, or this is too early?

[BOUNTY] MIUI11/12 Port for S10/S10+/S10 5g

First of all, my apologies if this is the wrong section to post this as I'm honestly not sure where to put this in order address developers for cross-device development.
I'm looking for a port of MIUI11/12 for atleast my device specific (S10+).
After moving on from a Mi5 -> OP6 (MIUI11) -> S10+ (Stock) I really miss the beauty and elegance that MIUI offers.
Please refrain yourself from advising me to swap/switch phone, that's not what I'm asking for.
I can spare 0 euro (revoked, see edit) via Paypal for a working (stable enough for daily driver) port of MIUI11/12, and I'm perfectly aware that this is fairly low budget for development/debugging time.
It's just a motivation (hopefully) for a developer to start working on porting it for our device.
Again, I'm sorry if this isn't the right place. I also apologize if anyone feels offended by this thread in any way (under-appreciation or similar).
As a sidenote; I can test early builds, and I'm willing to help out sending debug logs etc if that has any beneficial aid towards getting a (semi-)stable rom.
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I'm opting out of this offer as I've sold my S10+ to buy a different device.
I will keep the thread as is in case other have the same question as I had.
great idea... ✌?
Not that I hate the idea but that kind of makes no sense. The most expensive thing Samsung's smartphones have is software. I had a lot of phones and used a lot of ROMs but nothing beats debloated OneUI (HadesROM). At times I check out AOSP based ROMs just to find out I can't use it anymore. Give it a chance. Isn't MIUI Xiaomi's overlay?

I've tried Stock, Hades, Havoc and Derp but nothing compares to the UI/Smoothness that MIUI offers.
Now I'm back on stock because I feel like it's the best of all current options.
I gave it a chance
Removed budget, see edit
