Hello devs,
I have had a Micromax Canvas 2 Colors phone since a year and a half now. Custom/Themed ROMs were uncharted territory for me till June of this year, when my warranty was about to expire. I decided to use the VionicL ROM then. One heck of a ROM that was. Later, in the span of months, so many developments came in for the device, CM11, CM12/12.1, MIUI, and so on. I was very happy to see that there are so many people working hard on providing us the very best experience on our phone. But, like most of the average mobile phone users, I used to download the ROM, install it and enjoy, nothing more than that.
Now, as the time has come for me to switch to a new phone, I am switching to Lenovo K3 Note. I have had digitizer issues with my Canvas 2 Colors and the battery back-up was a little on the poorer side. So, I'm finally giving my phone away to one of my friends and moving on. Although, I would've loved to experience the final, stable build of CM12.1. Thanks to all the devs that worked hard on that. @Al3XKOoL : Especially you, man!
Now that I'm going to be using a new phone, starting from the 28th of October as per Flipkart, I looked up the phone on xda. Unfortunately, there is no forum for the phone. I was a little disappointed, but even C2C did not have a forum a few months ago. So, I tried looking for ROMs, and I have to say, I was a little disappointed with the progress in new and variety of ROMs. I agree that it is a fairly new phone, but there are a lot of people who own that phone, so I was expecting better results. And another point that many people like me would be searching for ROMs.
The help I request from all the developers here is to teach me to develop ROMs and Porting ROMs. I am absolutely inexperienced here, but I'm eager to learn. I'm 17 years old and I am studying 12th grade at the moment. I would still love to learn about ROM development and Porting so that I can provide the people with some ROMs like you all have. Although, I will not be helping out the C2C family, I can start to help the K3 Note family in any way I can. I hope some developers are interested in having an acquaintance.
Please consider this a sincere request and if anyone can please help me learn, I would be very, very grateful to you. I know that I can't learn it overnight, and that is why I want a proper guidance.
If anyone is interested to help me learn about the things mentioned above, please contact me through a message.
Thank you and sorry for annoying you lot with a long post!
And I will be indebted forever to all the developers in the C2C community for giving me and all the C2C owners a pleasurable experience. Thank You!
Sorry for tagging you people, but I hope you don't mind and you people are the most recognized devs in the C2C community :

first of all thanks for our words..im still using my WIKO RAINBOW as my second phone..ive moved on to VODAFONE SMART ULTRA 6 and im testing MIUI 7 LOLLIPOP with a ported rom already that is booting and running with TWRP ..although is very buggy its ALPHA version still, that is nice..
for developers/porters whatever is not easy to teach someone..we have our work to do and that kind of knowledge we have, it took us a few years and at least some dead phones, hard bricks and a few other bad things that could happen to our phone..so my advice to you:
read
search
talk with other users
now and then ask for help when you need it, some users know a lot
you need time and patient..be aware that many times things will not go as you expect or wish..best of luck and keep following us in my blog and youtube..RAINBOW / MMX A120 C2C still is a good phone.:good:

Hey, thanks for taking time out to read my post and replying.
Nice to hear that you've been working on a different phone and rolling out new ROMs for that phone too!
Yes, I know that everyone have their own work, family and personal stuff and everyone are developing in their free time or as a hobby. I will be doing the same too as I have my studies as a bigger priority.
I understand it is not easy to teach anyone about developing, at least guiding is possible, right? I would be glad if you could guide me in what to read and where to be careful etc. stuff like that.
I already bricked my K3 note once and revived it somehow. I know it will not be an easy road or it is just as easy as downloading a ROM and flashing it in recovery, most of the users can do that. I know it is hard work, I will try to read, but there is so much knowledge on XDA alone that it will take me forever to read, understand and be able to implement. So, what I am asking is, if you could let me know on where to begin and in which direction to go after that, I would be indebted to you.
Again, Thank you for taking some time out, I know you have loads of work, and I hope I can be as good a developer as you someday!

There is a Chinese developer who has rolled out CM12.1, but the English translations are not complete, so there are some chinese fonts still left behind, and there are some bugs in that too. I would not recommend using that ROM for daily use till the bugs are sorted out and the full English support is included.
With some support, I was planning on compiling CM12.1 for the K3 note. I've noticed that major developments for this phone is on some Spanish and Russian websites and not on XDA. I was a little sad to see that, but hopefully, there are a lot of developments on XDA too!
Cheers1

Dear fellow members of Galaxy S6/Edge XDA members,
I've created this thread to step back into developing a KANGed kernel once again. I have previously worked on the Galaxy Nexus 2 years back where I had the time to work on kernel development and was thus actively involved in the forums over there. However, after nearly one year, I had to put my kernel KANGing to a stop as I have my major examinations to focus on. Now, after almost finishing everything I need for my education, I want to step back into contributing to XDA with my very best that I've learnt from the Galaxy Nexus.
Here is the link of proof:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/development/kernel-s-k-p-r458-3-0-101-t2479983
However, I do want to voice out that I have never been correct in developing so I'll just let you guys know as well because I don't want to hide anything. I have failed my development on the kernel before when I expanded to the LG G2, and various other devices. But everything came to an end because I wanted everything to stop so that I can sort things out as I did not work on the kernel properly.
Alright, so off goes my introduction. Now I will be presenting on my goals on the kernel I will be developing for the S6.
First and foremost,
I'll implement things that I've learn though my course of studies, followed by the things the kernel users want or need.
Last but not least,
I need some testers for the kernel as I am unable to do so with my S6. (I'm currently on an F2FS setup and will be testing my kernel once I've reached the phase for implementing arter's F2FS if viable.)
Right now I need a few testers who are either on stock, or are NOT on any Note-based ROMs.
I will begin releasing the zips to all the testers in private.
All you have to do is just indicate your interest in helping me test out my kernel by posting on this thread
Thanks,
Nixholas
Hi there,
I own a Galaxy J500FN and have been unsuccessfully searching the web for a custom rom for my device.
I have used PA on both my S4 and S4 mini and would be very glad (so would many others) if somebody could dedicate some time on working on a build for this device?
It currently ships Lollipop 5.1.1 out of the box.
There is no CWM Recovery build for this device but there is a TWRP Recovery Build that CTxz has kindly developed for us.
I am more than happy to flash experimental builds onto my device to help develop a custom ROM for it.
Thanks a lot!
Kyle
P.S: As many others have found, all root methods currently known for this device will trip the knox security.
No plans as we don't dev for devices we don't own or have access to. It is not on our radar at all, as with most Samsung devices.
@Pirateghost i can provide you all the files of j5 that you needs.

And what exactly does that do for us? That doesn't put a device in a developer's hand and they have ZERO way to test it. We know nothing about the device and we don't care to. It is not on the radar, it is not in the cards....
NO.
Not going to happen.
Please realize that developing for a device isn't easy. Even well documented ones bring along lots of hiccups along the way. There is no way in hell that we will take on a device request for a device that we don't own or plan on ever owning.
Here's a little FYI for you: we prefer Nexus devices or devices where the manufacturer/OEM is willing to allow/support bootloader unlocks, roms, development.
My advice to you: Learn how to bring up the device yourself, and build unofficials for yourself. This site was founded on being a resource BY developers FOR developers. Use the information available to you to build your own.
I ask this because the g360f is completely forgotten and I can´t support this, a lot of roms for the rest of models but this model not and this is the best place for ask for a ROM,please, touchwiz is so bad in older versions and is time to change this and put android pure. Please developers, you are the best to do this.
Peace
That would be great! I have a g360f and I would like at least a 5.1.1 port. I don't know why samsung forgot to update it. Cheers to developers who would like to develop for it and also for all others who dedicate their time for any other phone on this forum.
G360F owner here too,
would really appreciate a custom ROM...
Probably it is going to be very difficult but is posible if we try it , is that or this phone will die and I will not allow that even if I need to learn programming
If you are interested in running or Flashing a custom rom, your answer is NOT going to Teamuscellular.com and looking for innovation and creativity. I posted 3 different working custom roms, originally for the 920p Sprint Version of the Note 5
Within minutes, the posts were locked, and the mods there (Irub1out) and others, booted me saying the rom files were suspect, and that anyone from XDA was trouble...as they said "the guys from xda are all retards"
I am not starting anything, I am just informing you of the mistakes I made in trying to help them, and warning you of your demise
(not to mention my pc was loaded with adware from their site)
I am in constant work mode to create and port roms for the Note 5 R4 variant, and work hard to make them work for a phone that nobody cares about DEV for.
PM me for any information on current works...I am always glad to help anyone i can
Which rom are you currently working on bro
