Ive seen several roms out and about that use aroma installer, what would be the benefits of Aroma? and how would one go about porting a rom that uses it? not quite development but im hoping for an in depth answer that may be of use for development

Hello. I searched the forum but didn't really find an answer.
I was until 5 minutes ago with the MIUI rom. I know the last kernel I flashed was the cyanogenmod kernel (which I used with another rom...can't remember which one because I flashed 5 roms in 1 day).
I wanted today to abandon MIUI because I was having problems with the display timeout...and some other things, compatibility with applications and details were not really good for me.
So I flashed now the rcmixhd, downloaded from rom manager. What kernel should I use?
And....is a kernel independent from the rom? Will a rom not work with the proper kernel?
*deep breath*
By going through the kernel threads, reading about them, seeing what others say then choosing a few to try, add them, try them, make a decision, keep one.
Just like your radio question and your ROM question it comes down to two things:
1. Your particular hardware capabilities - Some devices like some kernels better than others.
2. What YOU want from the kernel and how much YOU think it's the best one for YOUR situation / wants / needs etc.
Only YOU can decide what one YOU like the most subject to them working ok with your particular handset (this is particularly true for overclocking).
As a rule of thumb, if you're not fussed about over-clocking or BFS vs CFS etc. then what ever kernel the ROM creator advises.
Now please, pretty please, use the link in my sig to find more in depth answers as this question has been asked too many times already.
You don't pick the kernel, the kernel picks you.
hello everyone i am fairly new to the world of android ive only had 2 android phones the first was a samsung transform which i rooted and had everything done to it that was possible but recently traded it for an echo and to my dismay cannot root it so i am gonna try and build my own custom rom just dont know how to do it ive been looking online for guides but it seems like everyone i found only works with htc? if someone could please guide me in the right path on finding guides on building roms that would be awsome i am curious to learn this whole process thanx
This probably isnt the right place for your post, a section called Android Development for your specific phone would be a great place to start a thread.
As for the question though, there generally speaking are no guides for building roms. Most people will start small, with mods or themes, then slowly grow into full roms. Although based on your post, your phone cannot be rooted, so how are you expecting to install the rom without root?
Hey there guys
I'm a dev from the i777 forum -- the AT&T Version of the i9100. My rom, ShishirROM, is based off of XWLPG Odexed -- one of the few i777 ROMs to be odexed. It revolves around having great battery life and stability, as well as being nicely polished and revolving around JKay's brilliant mod.
The page can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505433
Okay, so I need YOUR help to port this ROM over the i9100. It should be very straight-forward, but I'll need a few beta-testers to make sure everything works as advertised. And being a i777 user, I need to know a couple of things to make sure the ROM is perfect out-of-the-box:
What are the most stable/fastest i9100 modems and kernels?
That's it for now, and I'll need some willing beta testers to PM me with:
Experience modding/testing
Ability to use adb / analyze logcats
Has plenty of backups of existing ROMs incase something goes wrong
Has plenty of time to beta-test
I can only take around 3 or 4 of the most qualified since I don't intend to have to give instructions with each package (e.g., adb push file to directory then chmod, etc.). I think this is the first time someone has tried to port an i777 ROM to the i9100, but I know it's possible and I could make the necessary changes and upload it right now, but I'll need to make sure it works first.
Thanks
Hi, I've been reading through the forums for the past couple days and I just have a few questions about flashing a new ROM to my phone. First of all, I'll start out by saying that I have a new ATT&T Galaxy S4 I337. It is my first Android phone so I'm still getting used to it, but I am fairly technically savvy so I believe I am capable of doing the more complex tasks.
So anyway, I just have a few quick questions. First of all, I wanted to know, if I flash a custom ROM, will I be able to restore my information afterwards from a backup taken through Kies? Such as contacts, calendars, music, apps, accounts, etc? I understand I also need a kernel backup for recovery in case of failure, but will I be able to restore personal data normally?
Next, I was a bit confused about which ROMS will work on my phone and which will not. I see there are a lot more ROMS available for the Verizon version than the AT&T version, but it seems some will work on both. Is this the case? I just want to be safe as to not cause myself unnecessary headache later.
I like the ability to customize, and I liked the idea of the Aroma installer. Are there any ROMS available for the I337 that have the aroma installer built in? Is it possible to use the aroma installer for any ROM? I was a bit confused on this.
Finally, can you guys recomend any particular ROMS? I was looking for something with a fairly stock feel, fully unlocked features and settings and cleaned up bloatware, although maybe not everything. I want something that will run cleanly and smoothly.
Thank you so much, all the information on this site has been so helpful and useful.
I have a guide, and it also has 2 threads for a starting point, check them also, before using my method. I have tested these roms to work with your device...please read the info in my guide.

You can ask questions in my thread.
Good luck sir.
Thanks you.
hello. as most users have stock based modded roms, why don't separe the cyanogen? these roms confuse users with rare problems too...... i hope this solution because this is sometimes a problem
easiest, just to go cm homepage.
i don't need cm... the cm's rom invade the android development note 3, i ask why isn't there the separation
Most users don't use stock based roms many many use CM and without CM their would be a none to poor development scene .
One of the basics is if you don't understand then don't use modded firmware .
i asked for forum organization, and not for say that cm is better or not than stock based.... your answer is not pertinent to my question. goodbye

What? CM "invades" Android development? :laugh: You can guess who the first team was, to modify Android and present it as a custom ROM in the Android Development section. What's actually invading the Android Development section are all those "Stable, ROCK SOLID,® 100% Stable | BETTARY LAyF ◄◄©" TouchWiz ROM's! Those need a seperate section called "Stock ROM's with community bloatware instead of OEM bloatware claiming to break the barriers of physiks and being faster than light and breaking the first and second law of thermodynamics"... Not all of them of course. Exceptions are there.
Know where you are and why you are here!
