[Q] Building Latest P.A.C Man Rom

Hello im new to android rom creation and i was looking to make a up to date p.a.c man rom since we have rc2 for cyanogenmod but i was wondering if there was anything special to know when trying to compile p.a.c? thank you for your help

Well, if you just want to compile PAC it's pretty easy. Setup your enviroment like any other build but during repo init, use Pac's github instead of Cyanogenmod's github.
If you want to take CM RC2 and Merge it with PAC to get the "latest", you'd have to setup with PAC and cherry pick CM changes.
There are other ways, but these are the only way I know.

is there any real advantage to doing that? i know cm10.1 rc2 has improvements but i would imagine that would only be using it as a base, im new to this so i dont see how other pac roms like the s3 rom has all of this up to date

I think all the other roms do not have CM10.1 rc2 as a base yet, it released not long ago, right? Perhaps there would be benefits, but very little. I'm not very sure as I've migrated away from CM.

My personal ROM before I switched to PA was based on AOSP. I found that cm had some issues with 240dpi and I couldn't fix it. I used AOSP and it was fine. It was harder to get started ( root and recovery stuff ) but after that it was firne.

I believe PA is based on AOSP now. It started off with CM bases though. But again, I'm not really sure.

[Q] Stable ROM for mako

Hello everyone,
I'm getting an N4 next week and I was wandering how stable AOKP's milestone 1 or CM RC2 are given that nither have a proper stable out yet.
Let me give some context. I use to be big on flashing, the phone I have now has run every any anying I have been able to find but to be honest I'm sort fo bored of it. At this point I'm just looking for somethig I can flash and wait for the OTA update for the next point or big number realse and Yes I know that both roms mention above are not "stable" but they will be soon I hope. I can put up with annoynces for some time while the stable comes out so I can move up to it. Also I'm open for sugestion if there anything more solid then AKOP or CM(if that is even plosible) by all means shear

They're both pretty stable. All features are fully working. Both roms have been on the Nexus 4 scene since day one so the developers have worked hard to eliminate any bugs. Just flash one and try it out yourself.

CyanogenMod RC2, being a release candidate, is very stable and bug free (from my experience).

that is awsome news that there really stable. I'm confuse, why then are they not mark as stable? Can they be using debian definiton of stable?

Probably the developer doesn't think it's ready. Either way, it seems stable enough for daily use.
It sounds like I'm contradicting myself. LOL

Mmuzzy ROM. 100% stable with just a few very necessary customizations.

sound good. I will asum that as soon as they think is go for stable then there will be an OTAU for it

Yeah. They probably won't label "Stable" but a "Milestone" instead.

now a stupid question, I haven't use AOKP in a while so I was wandering do I still need to get the gapps in another zip and flash them or do the now ship with the rom? if they don't where do I get them because I dont't see them on there site

Before you flash anything. PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP NANDROID FILE IN RECOVERY MODE JUST IN CASE THE PHONE DOESN'T BOOT.
I assume you know how to do a backup. LOL

carbon CM aospa

I've used cm10.1 and switched to Xylon when I had the desire for more customization. Ever since JellyBeer started however it's been my main ROM and I absolutely love the functionality and stability it has to offer. I am intrigued by PA's Halo though.

Porting ROMs for exynos 5

OK, so so here is a thought. Since the stock ROM for the I9500 and the Korean SHV-E300 has all of the lib files necessary for creation of a ROM, why doesn't someone just use those to try to port a ROM over to see how it would actually work? I just came from the Exhibit 4G and that is pretty much how our device tree was created. Using other phones and our own libs. I know it would take a dedicated dev to do this or attempt it. But in the end it should be very rewarding. Tell me what you guys think.

any dev that can verify this ? possible or not ? any port rom would do Ex. MIUI Rom

It is kind of like porting but not really. It would be using all of our already made drivers that are in .so format and then using partial or full frameworks from the custom ROM sources to build. Just look at it like taking Ubuntu 13.10 and running Gnome 3.8 on top of it as the shell. Neither one of them get along with each other but there are ways to make them coexist and work well together.

I think you should stick with Ubuntu 13.04 or else Linux Mint 15
Because bbqlinux its hard to install some updates. Compiling gives alot of errors. I'm switching my OS on Ubuntu 13.04 by this friday

Yup. If can i will start from scratch

@Hashy what happened to your old Kernel and ROM that you would start from scratch ?? I mean any reason for that ?? y not continue dev. cuz that would be easier and faster isn't it.. did the old ROM boot ? did you boot into 4.3 yet I mean through any means ?

I think that you can not compete . You should create together---> it is better---> Have a good rom with kernel than 2 ragged rom with 2 kernel. But mike can work on rom and you can work on kernel This is just my opinion sorry for bad english!

And that's the reason why we don't have 3.4 kernel and 4.3 ROM yet. It's because nobody wants to share work with others or work together on one kernel and one ROM. Anyway i wish you all luck.

hmmm.. unity is strength.. Xperia play is no more about Cosmic Dans Turbo Kernel.. or Lupus's Kernel.. or AOKP or CyanagenMod.. (I mean all this in a good way) we need a "ROM" 4.2/4.3 for Xperia Play and a "Kernel" for Xperia Play.. the brand, the dev, no matters no more.. and the way things are,, I really think dev's should team up to make one Good Rom.. and One Good Kernel.. cuz I don't think Xperia Play would last till Android 6.0 .. so just this device one good last push.. and see how things work out. Split work will only increase/duplicate work.. delay the ROM/Kernel and maybe the ROM would never get rid of bugs.

Guys I don't think teaming up is going to happen, the old thread got deleted so I can't show you any of the stuff that happened. But it got pretty nasty so lets not bring working together up and just focus on getting a stable 4.3 build for our Xperia Play's

Actually yes that seems like a good idea, as 4.3 is only a minor update of 4.2 and people have had success on the play before building 4.2 (without wifi though). But my main concern is being ready for 4.4, which if it is as ram light as everyone says and runs just as fast as gingerbread as everyone is saying, would be perfect for our Xperia Play's. But beggars can't be choosers as I always say

Probably you haven't understand the problem: the problem wasn't you using some of the lxp's commits, the problem was you not asking permissions like everyone else; now probably mike want let you use his work as a base, but it isn't because he is selfish and didn't allow the other people to use his work, it is because you go against the common rule

[DT] CM11 roms opinions: Carbon, CyanFox, infected_'s, Pound and Wayland_ACE's

Hi everybody.
There are five main CM11 (CyanogenMod 11) roms for the Samsung Galaxy S2:
Carbon Rom (Myself5)
CyanFox (Christiancs1969)
Wayland_ACE's ROM (Wayland_ACE)
Pound ROM (lion0738)
infected_'s ROM (infected_)
This thread is to talk about own experiences with this roms.
What's OK and/or what's wrong. What recommend you and why.
Regards.
P.S:
The poll is outdated. I considered remove it, but I can't do it. I also considered move the thread to Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
If anyone think this thread causes conflicts, be free to report it to moderators. I apologize. :angel:

I tried pound rom it has many features including halo but now im on slimkat due to working art, carbon rom also have a working art and I think it has cm11 as base rom.

I dont think thats a good idea to make a thread like this especialy title"a vs b vs c vs d" this thread is more likely to be whats the best 4.4 rom

You're right. I changed it.
Thanks. :good:

I don't undestand one thing, infected ROM and Wayland_ACE ROM, both are based on Cyanogenmod 11 ( AOSP ) right? So why is Infected' running ART for about 2 weeks and Wayland_Ace not?
And another thing, Infected ROM is based on Cyanogenmod 11, so why Cyanogenmoed did not add CM11 to Nightly downloads (I mean they are still working on 10.2 but no one is interested in 4.3.1 anymore, because there is 4.4.2 out there, In my opinion is a waste of time and energy)
I will kindly thank you for your answer.

I've been using Cyan-Fox for about a week now. Good battery life and features. Really like it so far.

I've been using Pound rom since it was out and updated with every new version, it's really stable and has nice features. I had a battery drain issue at first but then realized mediascannerservice wakelock was the problem... So I just blocked it with the wakelock blocker setting and Voila! I'm also very tempted by Slim kat, the JB slim roms are great and the fastest I tried before going to Pound rom.

Just wondering if anyone here can tell me if any of the above roms support multi-user in the 'settings' screen. I have kids and I'm really looking to pseudo-corner off my phone (I know the limitations). I'm having real trouble with some of the roms.. and wondering if anyone else has tried/successfully got it working?

For certain multiuser will NEVER make it into the standard CM tree for non-tablet devices now that they are a for-profit.

Add CarbonROM by myself5 to the list

I'd be curious to hear back from anyone on any of the other CM11 base roms in particular.
