If it even WERE a real dump, it's a totally different device with different system files, which will probably never even work on the SGS2.
By the way, this isn't a development thread, it's just a link to another development thread in a different device forum.

Guys as the title tells, can someone experienced enough create a sticky thread for listing all the custom roms and kernels that are available for our galaxy s2?
And also regularly updating it when new roms are released. It will be much helpful.
As i dont have enough time regularly im not in a position to do that.
It hasn't happened yet for a good reason - there's still a debate about what can be defined as a custom ROM and what can't.
See the first post in the "Android development" section. Passions run high there.
I find it relatively easy to look at the headlines rom XXX v1.2 .
Any list is going to be meaningless unless it had a full and active update of the actual improvements on that version .
Some roms are not going to fit into any pattern particular Kitchen roms with multiple builds.

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum to post this but I am looking to purchase the GN2 as my first Android device when the US carriers eventually carries it. Could someone explain what the difference between the Android Development vs the Original Android Development subforums? TIA!

First of all it should go to Questions and Answers subforum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1792).
Android Development needs you to post your own port, modifications to the roms/kernels, but you have to keep in mind that you shouldn't post anything that you haven't modified/created yourself (posting links to a rom that you can't support).

Original Android Development requires you to post your own work, usually made from scratch, which you can't find in other roms.

Someone kindly explain what the difference is between the two forums? I can't figure it out. This
[Nexus⁴]
Same as other forums...it's meant to be
Development - stuff based on the stock image
Original Development - Stuff made from AOSP/scratch
yea me either.
in the N7 forums.. the Kernels I like which are MOTLEY are posted in the Android Development forum yet in the N4 forums... the motley Kernel is posted in the Original development section.
no consistency or description.
i would have to guess that Original development is for development not headed down the path of AOSP or Android aka Linux/Ubuntu etc.. and then android development is for AOSP Android directly related stuff?
Edit i was wrong its reversed from what I thought.
why our SGY has no Original Development Section, we have alot of original roms and kernels< I think they should be in a specific forum:silly:

all roms and kernels are in the dev section
origional development is for roms built from source and there are only a couple of source built cm roms - not really worth its own forum
The following are most likely “Original Development”:
Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

if you feel like this forum needs one you can ask a mod for a review
see the criteria in my post above
this may seem random, but can any developer make port of rom to HTC Butterfly X920D, it is using the same hardware to that of nexus 4, the support for this device was stuck in 4.4.2 which is InertCoin ROM but they officially stopped supporting the ROM, i love custom ROM n i wish some developer bring lollipop port, i will be thankful, i hope some respond to me, sorry that i made a post irrelevant to this development form. thank you
Two completely different devices made from two different manufacturers. Specs may look similar, but they are from two different worlds. Should have posted this to Q&A so the mods don't have to move a useless post.
Next time, if you don't make something, do not make a thread in the development sections.
