Why are developers are concentrated about developing kernels only from aosp or cm12, we received a gpe official lollipop version, a stable one, why not developing for this one too, we already said that we are willing to give donations if it is the thing that is preventing them from development [THOUGH THEY AREDEVELOPING FOR CM12] ... please respond, and thanks in advance
No sources=no develpoment.
We just received the official OTA. Not the kernel source.

Hi All,
I keep reading that g900h (exynos variant) does not get a custom/AOSP ROM (not considering the deodexed ones here) because samsung has not released the code for it yet. But I found out at the below link that the code for KK was released a few months ago -
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=g900h
Because I do not see any comments/posts/threads/discussions happening on this, I wonder whether this released code is not enough for a custom rom development or developers are not interested about it.
Let me know what is it, so I can bury my hopes of a custom rom forever or wait for the sunshine.
Hi, I'm planning on moving to an AOSP KitKat ROM, I haven't tried any KitKat ROMs before considering I got my phone with Lolipop. So if somebody could recommend the most stable KitKat ROM out of experience, that would be great. Thanks in advance.
I would recommend SlimKat 9. I put this rom on all of the devices I have. It never fails me. The developer team is great, they plan their SDLC very well. The functions/features included are sensible and helpful. Even their Alpha build is stable enough to be daily drive. You can find their post here:
SlimKat on XDA Forum

Hello Developers,
Xiaomi released mi4i kernel earlier this month. My Question are
1. Does AOKP is based on CM? because, I have tried CM based source, but I am getting too many errors.
2. Any one already working on AOKP for Mi4i?
3. Is there any latest tutorials for Building Custom ROM from Source.
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards,
Rocky
After a recent disaster with my S5 I replaced it with a Note 3 n9005.
Am very happy with the phone but it has so much potential to be better. Are there any 7.1 roms that are actively being updated and is there any chance of official builds any time soon.
I would love to put 7.1 on this phone but don't want to get stuck with bugs I have to put up with for extended periods.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Official 7 for Note 3 . No never according to Samsung .
roms that are actively being updated

There are always bound to be bugs when dealing with unofficial software like ports or ROMs, they're not perfect. As for an official Nougat release for a 4 year old phone that doesn't even have an official Marshmallow release? I highly doubt it. I would suggest just sticking with stock.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I know Samsung will never upgrade this phone to nougat or above but the custom rom community have done some amazing things bringing the latest versions of android to older phones when their manufacturers stop supporting them to make you buy their latest an greatest phone.
When I asked about official builds I was referring to Resurrection Remix or Lineage LOS 7.1 builds which get weekly updates. There will always be bugs I know but weekly builds help to fix them.

If I may suggest, I would try out a Note 7 port. I know it's not Nougat but in my opinion, Marshmallow with the Note 7 features is just as good and a lot of people have tested them out and are really stable. But as for more Nougat ROMs, RR and Lineage I think are the only options but I haven't tried them myself.
There is an official Note 5 Nougat rom out, so it should be possible to port that. We just have to wait for someone with the knowledge and interest to do it.
I'm running the Note 7 Phronesis Marshmellow rom, and I highly recommend it if you don't want to wait for a Nougat rom.

Thank you am currently trying the Phronesis Rom N7 v5.2 and am liking it very much very smooth and seems very stable.
And if i'm reading the forum correctly there should be a V6 version becoming available in the next couple of days.
thanks for the recommendation this rom will do very nicely until or if someone ports the N5 nougat rom which we can only hope for.
Anyone plz tell me
Thank you.
Official ROMs are usually better supported and have a quality certificate from the developers. There aren't many official ROMs for lavender now, but for example the unofficial OTA LineageOS is both full-featured and stable enough for daily use.

Why UNOFFICIAL roms are not getting OFFICIAL for lavender ?
Because the devs don't have time to support them. They would need to do it to remain official.
Official roms require commitment from the dev, like periodic updates and not filling the rom with features not present on other devices...
