Which groups are making Roms?

Does anyone know who are the best known recognized developer groups making Roms for the G3 (if any)?
rumors, maybes, confirmed?

I've heard cm is on it, but other than that idk

Also think I they I heard dirty unicorn is working on it, and I knoe OctOS had plans to support, but I don't think they've started yet

Cm probably do a great job on this device like others but we don't know any others yet because G3 used to have a bootloader lock.

Let's hope plenty of developers jump on board now the boot Loader problem had been circumnavigated.
Apparently LiquidSmooth is being worked on.
I would love to see purity rom on this beast also.

Can't wait to get Dirty with some Dirty Unicorns :highfive:

I haven't bothered rooting because there are no roms yet. Would be interesting to know what to expect. Cm is at least something promising.

Ohh! Purity ROM on this phone will go blazing fast! Can't wait for the flood of ROMS

I'm the same shadehh regards rooting. Untill the main stream rom makers are churning out top quality stuff I'll hold on.

I'd love to see Archidroid here. Some of the finest IMHO.

i have asked on the g+ page of aicp and test builds will be made as soon as the sources are released to bump the roms

miui
Hi guys...i love to see miui offical rom also is there any news about that.
Maybe we should let'em know about bump...

Bump! has already gained enough publicity from some tech blogs for ROM devs to know about it. Let's wait and give Team Codefire time to release the bumping process & I'm pretty sure we'll see a couple of ROMs pop-up soon after that!

CandyKat are working on a ROM. I asked the other day https://plus.google.com/114490049576855321482/posts/CAoWbPPn2cF (scroll to the bottom).

Yes we are. We have a sprint build waiting to be bumped already. Working in some device trees for other variants. We are very interested in developing for this phone as a few of us on the team have it.

I'm not too bothered about custom roms but would love to see custom kernel, something like boeffla on S3, that would be awesome

Thanks for your interest in creating ROMs for the G3. Seeing the increase in developer participation over the past week or so has been great. If you plan to put out any VS985 builds, I'd be happy to give them a test run.

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/03/aosp-aosp-lollipop-time/

i actually don't agree with cm on that, htc Samsung taking 90days is legitimate because they have tons of devices to maintain, but one plus only has one to maintain, it should take less time

You're right oneplus has one device, but its based on CyanogenMod but cm has to maintain as much devices as Samsung

90 days for cm12s release but much sooner for regular cm

Think he's saying that because it started rolling out last night (around 9 I think UK time?) and that people have been talking about it in the Development thread.
So I wouldn't say old news really but that's probably why he said it.

Apart from Nexus(es) and Google Editions, no phones have a device tree specific for lollipop.
But, considering I came from a device which sources never got released (Galaxy S Advance) and devs was still able to build (not to port, to build) up to 4.4.4, that shouldn't be a problem
Just don't be in a hurry, first rule of XDA is NO ETA.

The manifest is still missing, and lots of the code is still 4.4 kitkat code..
There's still some time to go.

I just pray that our beloved Dev s can keep it or stop it rather from looking like apple os L
Sent from my One A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

All that developers really have to do to port it to the OPO is to get the patches used in CM for the OPO and apply them to Lollipop. There may be some problems that will occur during the application of the patches, but that all can be fixed.
I'll be excited to see a port and to use it dual booting until OnePlus releases the firmware for the One.

I think we will get 5.0 this month, but not the CM version. I can remember that Oneplus posted a AOSP version for the One by themselves. So why shouldn't they publish a AOSP version of Lollipop?

They may do that. But we will more likely get an unofficial build much sooner than official AOSP/CM12S.
CM12 Nightlis will also come long time before CM12S

Because their official ROM is CyanogenMod. If they will release an official AOSP 5.0 a lot of people will stop using CM11s and that would create a legal issue. It's not like Touchwiz for Samsung or Sense for HTC, the rom in the opo is not their intellectual property., they just have the right to use it.

where is that 5.0? cant see it ages

Ya sure its still work in progress the major issue is
1) Kernel Sources are KK based ( So we have to make it compatible with Lollipop , just takes sometime )
2) Adapting Sources to Snap 615 SOC (new to samsung)
Once CM boots i will make a thread here with all and latest updates

[Q] Now Android MM is out for while, anybody working on any new ROMS?

Hey guys was just wondering if there any developers who are working on some new ROMS for our MXP as it seems very quiet in the development sections of the forums, couple of variations of stock rom and that's pretty much it.
Was expecting for development to pick up after the MM but its been VERY quiet.
Not a complaint just wondering if there are things going on behind the curtains like development being done or some CM13 or anything along those lines.

Having MM OTA out is not enough.
Not much can be done until Motorola will release the kernel source

They are required to release any changes to the kernel they have made due to the GPL license that the linux kernel is protected by. so its not a matter of if but when.

MM and now kernel source released, and still, slow as hell. Sucks. I thought this phone would be one of the most active in development, was i wrong.

I'm on retail Asia variant which leaves me with 1 rom. And I can't even get mm for my variant let alone custom roms.

Android P rom

Some one make a android Phone ROM for the Moto g4 plus . I know I am posting this a bit too early ???

I would wait to ask for this until the currently released version (Oreo 8.1) is fully developed and 90% bug free.

This is a joke, right? If you want to test the new updates as soon as they're released, you should buy a Pixel phone.

Ofcourse I am joking

Was waiting for this question since yesterday evening https://www.xda-developers.com/android-p-developer-preview-1-google-pixel-xl-pixel-2-xl/ with all the problems on actual Oreo build for g4 it doesn't make sense for the next step when Motorola doesn't release drivers... There's less functionality than Oreo imo.
It's like in former days booting android on windows mobile I used: it boots. That's it. Nothing was working.
Oh, and I don't think they pushed the source right now.
Just my 2 cents...

Unless Google pushes aosp source, LineageOS uses p sources and someone makes a device tree ready there will be no p built. Don't think about stable.
