Hello everyone.
This message is directed to all ROM/kernel developers of Ace community.
There are some rules, which you have to follow before starting new thread.
Rule No.1 - If you are about to post a new Kernel you need to be in compliance to GPL2 since kernel does contain Linux code, this mean that if you have modified a kernel you MUST provide source code:
(choose what best for you)
- A github link
- packing your kernel and uploading
- Credits to people in case of an already custom kernel
- Sources must be posted in first post of development.
Rule No.2 - If you are about to post a new Rom, you don't have to post source since they are covered by Apache, BUT you must be in compliance with XDA rule and with good sense. Remember that publishing sources is a very polite manner.
New Roms thread must contain:
- Exactly say which base rom do you used : Stock, custom from another developer, CyanogenMod.
- Permission to use said ROM as your base by the original developer(s).
- Credits given to original developer(s) in your first post: (eg: Credits and thanks for this Rom goes to XXXXX)
- Credits given, if possible, to the people from whom you grabbed scripts, themes and apps.
- Your ROM MUST BE free of paid apps, NO WAREZ ALLOWED.
- Your first post must contain as much info as you can provide, "this is my ROM" and a link is not tolerated (screens, installation procedure, CM version, kernel version etc.)
- Thread Title : " [ROM]xxxxxxxxxxx[date of release][kernel version/kernel required]
Rule No.3 - AdFly, or other ad-revenue related redirecting links, are NOT allowed. Thread will be closed and links be deleted.
In case of questions please drop me a PM.
Best regards

Official XDA GPL statement:
pulser_g2 said:
The GPL is a software license agreement, under which parts of the Android operating system are licensed. The majority of Android is licensed under the Apache license, but the Linux Kernel (which is present in every running Android ROM in some shape or form) is licensed under the GPL (version 2).
Many of the amazing developers at XDA create custom kernels, which feature many improvements and changes over the “stock” kernels released by OEMs, including performance and stability tweaks. This is exactly what the GPL is designed to protect, by ensuring that anyone can get access to the original source code used to build the kernel. Given a suitably configured computer, it should be possible for anyone to reproduce a released kernel using the provided source code.
Recently it has come to our attention that a number of users have been neglecting to follow XDA’s GPL regulations, which amount to posting the sources for any kernel you build from source to share with others.
As a result, we would like to clarify our position on the GPL, and users’ obligations to this effect. By posting your work on XDA-Developers, you are agreeing that it complies with relevant licensing conditions. As such, by posting a kernel or other work containing GPL code, you are confirming to us that you have made this source code available publicly under the GPL, and should highlight this in your thread with a link. (Plenty of respected and trusted sites will host the code for you free of charge, such as GitHub and BitBucket.)
By posting open sourced work on XDA, you are also ensuring that your available sources are up-to-date with the work you have released. This means that if you update your kernel to add a new feature, for example, your sources should be updated to include this change. If they are not, this means you are not complying with the GPL.
There is no provision in the GPL to withhold access to sources based on time or other conditions, so please don’t attempt this, as it will only earn yourself a formal GPL request. If you do not provide the correct, accurate, and up-to-date sources (and keep them up-to-date), you will be non-compliant with the GPL.
In order to be fully GPL compliant, your sources must:
Successfully build and produce a valid output file, which is the same format as provided in the binary
Contain all source code, interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable (it is not required to include the actual compiler/toolchain, but sufficient information should be made available to obtain the SAME configuration, including compiler flags, as used to build the binary version as released)
The GPL is a legally enforceable license agreement, and while it offers users freedoms to copy and redistribute code, that permission is conditional upon all changes which are released being made publicly available. If you require further advice on this matter, we suggest you review the license itself or consult a lawyer.

Hello fellow XDA users
I have an honor to announce that since 26.07.2012 Development Forum has been divided into two parts.
Android Development
Original Android Development
Android Development Section Rules
svetius said:
The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:
Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favorite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.
Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.
Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.
Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.
A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.
A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)

Hit Thanks if I saved you some time
Thanks I wanted to find something like this
Hi Everyone
The week has taken place yet to look at our
"OEM CROSS-DEVICE DEVELOPMENT FORUM",
but come the weekend and find some time.
I came to the conclusion that it is hard to find something specific
We have 2 divisions of Sony which is all Mods, Rom, Guides, Apps, etc. for CM12 AOSP KK LOL Roms
If you want to find specific information or see such topics of interest to me.
For example Themes or New Apps must also browse the topics which I'm not interested
Wants so ask Moderators:
@The-Hulk, @Toledo_JAB, @wedgess,
@laufersteppenwolf, @El Daddy, @SREEPRAJAY,
@B1nny, @gregbradley, @Arjen @ddrager
@engloa @Gandalf @karandpr,
@matt4321, @TonyStark, @ronnie498
Add new sections to OEM CROSS-DEVICE DEVELOPMENT FORUM
For example Sony Cross:
- General -
- Themes -
- Apps and Modifications -
- Guides and Windows and Android Tools -
- Q & A, Help & Troubleshooting -
Maybe something else...
This is only my suggestion but as someone has other interesting let us share
Thanks and Regards Ambor
Would be useful
This isn't the place to ask for new sections.
Ask here

Be sure to present a strong case on why you feel new sections are needed there.

Hmm
We have over 100 models of Sony Xperia in sales.
Not counting the older devices
In addition, they operate on different software versions
from Android 4.3 to Android 5.1
from CM 11 and CM 12.1
I do not count already older ...
According to my console developer for 51 devices Sony has released firmware 5.0.2
but not everyone update their software, so I have 51 devices with L and 51 devices with KK.
We have 2 Main Topics
Sony Cross-Device General Where is :
For android 4.4
[GUIDE]
[PORT]
[APK]
[MOD]
[XPOSED]
[ROM]
[DEV]
[BOOTANIMATION]
[THEME]
[Q]
[TOOL]
[FIX]
[TUTORIAL]
[TESTING]
etc.
For android 5
[GUIDE]
[PORT]
[APK]
[MOD]
[XPOSED]
[ROM]
[DEV]
[BOOTANIMATION]
[THEME]
[Q]
[TOOL]
[FIX]
[TUTORIAL]
[TESTING]
etc..
So almost everything ...
The Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps
For android 4.4
[GUIDE]
[PORT]
[MOD]
[THEME]
[Q]
[BOOTANIMATION]
[APK]
etc..
For android 5
[GUIDE]

[MOD]
[THEME]
[Q]
[BOOTANIMATION]
[APK]
etc..
Almost the same as in the Sony Cross-Device General only with a majority [THEME] Topis
For 100-150 Devices
Thanks Again
Good idea ^^
Greeting Developers :angel:,
I am new to this ROM building/porting process.
I want to install Vanilla Android on my note-4, so after questioning Google number of times, I came across official Android development guide on official Android website: https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
I have downloaded the Android source locally and was following various Guides and tutorials from XDA-University & forums only for the development process. http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-aosp-roms-using-source-code
I discovered that for downloading/configuring the build for a specific device(trltexx), we need to create a localmanifest file that contains device tree, vendor and kernel configuration links for repo syncing.
Now, I want your expertise to guide me forward from this point. Questions being:
1. Can I use CM or other projects (eg. AICP etc.) device configurations for this AOSP project.
2. Can I use these configurations for cross-version android build, say if I want to compile version 6.x, can 5.x configs can be used. (Manufacturer will take several months to release version update)
or Create new configurations using some guide/tutorial/book or something.
In XDA, I know I'm at the write place posting my questions and asking for expertised help.:good:
Thanks!!
Hello everyone,
A lot of users need BankID or mobile signature.
We use it for logging into our banks or other official business.
I've tried a lot of different Marshmallow ROMs on my N7100, only to discover that none of them have working BankID or mobile signature.
Therefore, I'd like to start a list over ROMs grouped by their BankID support.
I intend to post the results of my own tests, and would encourage others to help out if they can.
Please advise if this thread is inappropriate in any way.
Thanks.
Regards,
Nadeem
