Regarding feedback for custom roms

Since I cannot post in the development section, I will post this here.
I've been crawling the forums for some time now and I really appreciate kyrillos and Lestatios custom roms.
You guys are doing a really good job.
But one request for all the people active in the respected custom roms' threads:
Please stop spamming requests about what app shound be included in the rom and what launcher and so on...
Both Kyrillos and Lestat seem to tend trying to incorporate all suggestions that one raises in the threats.
Especially now, that the new froyo sources are available there are more important things to be done for our "rom heros".
incorporating "useless" apps to please 2 people just bloats the custom rom and keeps the devs from creating custom roms that are really "custom" on a much lower level, instead of just random pre-installed-app roms.
Kyrillos and Lestat: You need to be more arrogant!
You should be straight then it comes to developing your custom roms!

Thats a caring, yet stead-fast Developer for you..!!! Great response Lestat, keep up your good work...!! We all love your ROMs...!!

Right,
if i want bloatware on my android i might as well install m$ office.
Beter to concentrate efforts on building a lean mean android machine.
Theres more than enough apps in the market for users to chose from.

Valid Question
I have the same issue, can't post in development and hate those spammers. But here's a valid question:
Now that there is a clean XXJLP on the lose, is it still better to install Krillios ROM or Lestagious ROM or to go with the new and shiny JPL?

There is a Cyanogen rom?

I am new here, I just have 3 Months with my G3, I updated with samfirmware Rom I5800XXJP4 but I want to try a Cyanogen ROM because I understand is So much better, and have the best battery life (my ROM drain my bat very fast) But I don't know were find Cyanogen ROM or how to install.
Right now I am looking and reading, but I'll apreciate any help...

right now its in alpha stage. as u know alpha stage rom is not bug free, so its not recommended to flash it now. if u want u can test it. Its being developed by Marcellusbe sir, apollo5801 and other developers. u can find the thread about it in development section

That's great thanks for the reply. I have another question for ya then. Is my radio version good or is there a better one to flash?

There's a thread in the dev section with all the radios in it. If you're not having issues, you're good. If you want a solid stable Sense ROM, you're good. Anything past that is more of a project with bugs that need to be worked out still.
If you want to try something different and equally as stable, give MIUI a shot. No 4G though. Never will be. But it's an AOSP ROM and has a TON of cool features.

[Discussion Thread] BlackEditionHD - 7hr08ik Edition [Work In Progress]

First and foremost i wanna send my thanx and admiration to Crowds for his amazing work with this ROM. Everything he has done has been amazing.
I am hoping to continue the work that Ricardo has done and carry on the expantsion and updating of this rom.
But i am new.
This will be my first ROM.
So i am calling for your help. I need to know what i need to do.
-What proigrams are the best to use
-How has Crowds done this work so far? I know its a port of FXP and MIUI, with some ICS elements but which? Do i start with FXP then blend MIUI over it? If so which parts?
-Which version of FXP (7.2 or 9.0)?
-Which version of MIUI?
Basically i am starting from scratch with the whole ROM dev. I am fast learner, a fellow geek, and i want to do this right. Please bare with me because i may ask stupid questions at times. I just need help.
So far i have a few things to read up on and try out. For now im just going to be faffing around seeing what i can do. But my main objective is to update and upgrade the current ROM with the new versions of FXP and MIUI. Then once i am confident with it i have a few ideas of my own that i want to try.

So far i have these that im going to read up on. If yuou have anymore sugestions or and info for me....please send my it

The good combination will be MIUI\CM9, because its newest thing what we can get, but its gonna be hard to do, specially if you do not have any previous knowledge about porting, developing, so for now you can start with fxp CM7.2
First get stable ROM, then start with modification of same one,my suggestion.
cheers

Almost CM 9.0 FXP !
Because 7.2 is Old ,
You need New Source & New Design !

i get that cm9.0 is the new and best one. but obviously im new to all this.....so i wanna know which fxp crowds was using and just start my expedition by updating what he has done....i know fxp has released cm7.2 AND cm9.0 both with fxp106
As im new i wanna start by following the road set before me.
So far this rom is FXP052 and miui
but which miui? and is it already cm9.0 or is it just cm7.2? porting a whole new rom to the one will be a big peice of work and i am brand new to this

It's a great initiative and I really gotta add the importance of the RTL fix for Arabic & Farsi Support, as I've installed the BlackEditionHD FXP25-MIUI but none of the RTL patches work as I do even know which MIUI version is being used?
Regards.

OK problem solved.
Turns out i gotta turn OFF my kasperski before i download the file otherwise it detects as a virus and closes the file off?!?!?!
How hard would be for FXP to mention that in thier thread? i mean really???
Well now i gotta wait my hour before downloading the file again, and hopefully i can start work on this rom

Whatever you do, don't put paid apps in your rom. I'm not saying that's what u were going to do. I'm just concerned for new devs. A few people have gotten in trouble for posting "warez" recently, so... yeah. Just trying to help
Not trying to offend, and if that isn't what you were talking about then disregard my ramblings.
And I suggest xloud, assuming you could get it to work... Not sure what mods need to be done for that.

hey guys
The rom is working freaking awesomly, but i need some help with my theme.
The rom is fxp + miui blend, miui on top of fxp. I have the theme i want saved, backed up etc. And i have the script set so it installs with the rom. Everything is fine with the install process, but when i install the rom, the theme is applied, but the lockscreen wallpaper, and homescreen wallpaper revert back to their stock images and not the images i have set.....
Obv i dont want to see a hd pic of the seaside...i want the images i have chosen. Can someone help?

Well I finally figured out where the hell the dam pictures go!
I think I'm ready to release the first version of the rom.
I'll post the thread links tomorrow when it's ready. But first I got a gf to cozy upto

Cyanogenmod: why are there no stable release?

I'd like to use CM12.1 (marshmallow) but I realize there still are no stable release? Why? Is it not good enough yet?
I've had a pretty bad experience with CM on my old Galaxy S4 so I'm a little afraid to remove the stock recovery and ROM from my Moto X Play. I want to make sure that it's bug free (or as buggy as stock) and suitable for day use. In other words I want to flash it and know it's fully reliable. Given the fact that there are only nightly releases, are they reliable enough for this?
Thanks

I can't vouch for the latest releases, as my xplay has been broken for like 3 months now, but being a nightly doesn't inherently make it unstable. Stable builds are usually relabeled nightlies. I say give it a shot. You can always go back to stock if you don't like it, unless you're speaking about voiding warranty

Oh! I thought nightlies were unstable releases. So before yours broke, you had a good experience? No problem with camera or other stuff?
It's not really a question of warranty but rather just not having any issues when I need it to work. For instance, with my Galaxy S4, the camera kept crashing while I was out with my kids so I lost time trying to make it work when I wanted to take a picture. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't want happening just because I got another ROM.

Indeed I did (have a good experience). If you're every unsure of a nightly, head to the thread. You'll usually find one or several people commenting if it's no good.

Yeah I had a look (I just realized I was talking about CM13 not 12.1) but given there are now 205 pages I thought I'd ask about the nightly situation in a different thread.
I think I may try it and restore it from the ROM available in the forum.
Oh and I keep wondering, given Motorola never actually released the ROM, how can someone make it available?

I m using nightly for like 3 months ......and I can say nightly is far better than stock if you are looking for customization and speed. I recently tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 but that experience is so "LAGGY" that I again return back to CM.I can say that CM nightly build working best for me with my requirements(like gaming and also photography and editing and HEAVY Customization and many more ) . and about custom recovery,it's a must have tool I suggest as with that I can return back to my previous builds. SO i recommend to go for NEW CM build,but in the end it's upto you.
and if u r still fearing about NIGHTLIES then flash the custom recovery(twrp) and then make backup of whole stock system and then do whatever U want to.

Btw this is the wrong forum to discuss things
