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?

[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
All In One Guide for Dummies

Spaarc´s tutorial

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
skorvy

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

I got it working, installed on my phone...im gonna be spending the next few days testing and tweaking the rom...hopefully i will have releasable build done by next week.
I will keep you updated

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

Searching for developers - A team to make an AOSP ICS rom

hi @all, i want to do something more for u8800pro community and i want to build an aosp ics rom.
i have seen the aurora ics for u8800, so ics on u8800pro is not impossible.
i have not enough skills to make immediatly a good rom, so i am searching for people who could help me.
I think that a good way to carry on this project is to build a team of developers....this is why i am searching for them.
to build the rom i can use my computer: phenom 2 x4 960t + 8gb ram dual channel 1600mhz should be enough

Hi,
my compliments for this great idea!
I am not a good developer but if you need a tester you can count on me.
I can test about 4 U8800 Pro!
Regards,
kalo86

This project needs also a new kernel for ics
Inviato dal mio U8800Pro usando Tapatalk

Uuuuh! I put all my hopes on this project(since all the others are stuck...)! Can't wait to see my u8800pro fully hardware accellerated, it would become a raging beast!
If you need testers i'm right here!

Awesome i cant wait to see my u8800 pro with Ics.I can be a tester with many others of course...
Sent From My Ideos U8800 pro

the fact that i have opened this project does not mean that we will have an ICS rom for our phone.
this mean that i will TRY to build ics...and i need also to compile a new kernel with new touchscreen driver.
i will try to do that....hoping to obtain a rom
ps: this also means that i stop my project on gb 2.3.7....now that i have a good computer i can build ics

Where are you going to search for new kernel sources?
If I am not wrong, ICS requires 3.0.X Kernels

i will use google's original sources....and i will ask for help to devs like franciscofranco or lupohirp.

You could ask genokolar for help too.
Since he already has his own ics port for the u8800pro, maybe he could come handy... maybe...

Moved To General​
Sorry, i cant allow this thread to remain the the development section. Please refer to the read before posting sticky. As this thread contains no development, i really have no choice. Good luck with the project, i wish you all the best with it​

Stop fragmenting people!
Damn... why on everyone that wants to help, the first thing that pops on their mind is to start something form scratch and then... what do we get with that?
A few very similar ROMs but none fully working.
dzo and Blefish are already working on ICS for U8800 and someone else already said that was working on building it for AOSP (with Blefish's help I guess).
Why not simply contributing to one of those developments, so that we can have less but robust ROMs?

just saying but... u8800 and u8800pro are different, if not i would already have ics on my phone.

Why don't you simply make an Aurora ICS port?
U8800 and U8800 PRO are pratically the same phone... I think it should be easier...
However i'm not an expert, mine is only a question...

I second this. I want some ICS love.

Wouldn't be too hard, just the kernel and wifi drivers need changing but I don't have a pro so can't do it yet.

So it's possible and not to much difficult (just the kernel and wifi drivers need changing)

This is awesome.If only the wifi kai kernel drivers are changed between these 2 devices we must donate to dzo for a new u8800pro and he can try his best as he does for u8800.We need something new for u8800pro because all the devs go to u8800(oxygen,ics aurora,elite rom) and we have stay with a cm7 good rom.In chinese forum there are much more roms than here in xda.With someone that knows how to translate these roms we can have a lot more roms for both u8800 and u8800pro.

This might help.

EDIT:
The kernel of the aurora ROM is compatible!!
Replace the META-INF directory in the aurora ROM by the of Genokolar.
-The ROM worked.
-The camera works.
-Wifi does not work.
-For your first run, turn off the GPS and the phone works.
-Fails Wiper App

Miui? Is it possible

Is there any chance that someone could port/create a miui rom for a500. Obviously v4 so it wouldn't be back tracking to gingerbread. I would think it possible since we have ics working,

@lifecoding, hum? well the porting of MiUi is related to a development question more than an general question... whatever...
@warfenix : the Patchcode is available for MIUI, I think so it possible to be ported.

but since its a question, well then how about q&a?......whatever
Sent from my Iconia A500 using Tapatalk

I think its possible, yes, but you need to find a dev who wants to port it across. That might be the difficult bit...

Seems we need an ASOP rom, or CM ROM running on the tablet, then replace some files... well seems easy to say but dunno about when need to be done...
I will not risk my tablet right now, I need it for work

Hell im game to test, a different rom wouldnt be bad, variety is what the a500 needs...

Miui is much more than an iPad. Yes an miui port is possible and "may" being worked on right now. I ported the miui rom to the pyramid for many months and have considered doing one on the A500. But miui is heavily cyanogenmod based. Once cm9 is established on the tablet there are many possibilities for roms. But getting there is the hard part and I am greatful for the people who are working on cm9 for the iconia.

I already tried porting it using this guide. Unfortunately it didn't boot - reached MIUI boot screen and that was all. I used Tegraowners ROM 144 as a base(AOSP based) and MIUI 2.4.6 ROM - tried from several deviced with no luck. I see arrom1983 managed to boot MIUI on Galaxy 10.1" tab - see this thread....but there are no updates on the progress apparently.

robkoehler, sorry my friend but this is completely wrong. Please don't start another flame war about MIUI being the same as iStuff. You can replace default MIUI launcher and still have MIUI functionality that is way better than Android's default . Other that that, there are plethora of features I could count if you want me to.

So many ROMS - which to chose ?

I am just simply lost. I want to try out a 4.1.1 JB version but there are just so many to choose from.
Are there main differences between all the ROMS out there ? How do I go about choosing a good one without having to try one after the other and spending hours flashing, wiping, reflashing, etc... ?

First check changelogs and see what has the most functionality and is most stable, then from your shortlist flash some to see which you prefer, also best Rom threads are not allowed on XDA so this will prolly get nuked, just fyi.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

First of all: Such Threads are not allowed on xda! But I want to help you!
First if you like
Touchwiz based JB then
Wanam's
or
Omega's
Roms. These are very stable and smooth
If you like Pure Android:
I really don't like to make commercial , but try my rom "CroJB" (link in my signature)
or
CM10, Temasek's builds, SuperNexus from Faryaab are also very good!
But you need to try which you like the best! There are so many good roms as you said. You have to try and please don't make that kind of threads again
