Given Samsung’s penchant for giving away the source codes of its Android devices and making them publicly available to download, we can easily categorize Samsung as one of the more hacker-friendly Android manufacturers. But is it really the case?
Some developers beg to differ — at least when it comes to devices that sport Samsung’s Exynos processor, such as the international version of Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, which our sister publication has laid out in a recent post. In short, crafting a fully functioning custom ROM on Exynos-powered devices is a much harder endeavor due to the lack of documentation for the SoC for which “not a single line of code is available or has been leaked.”
The good news is Samsung has not turned a deaf ear to the complaints and has responded to the issue. As reported by XDA-developers, here’s a recent tweet posted on Samsung Exynos account:
We hear your concerns about documentation & source code for Exynos-based devices. We're discussing it with our team and will update you soon
We're taking your feedback about full document. very seriously and are working to resolve the situation. We really do value your opinions!
If you want to help the community, you can find more information on the petition thread requesting the Exynos sources on XDA-devs forum. Hopefully we’ll hear some good news from Samsung.
