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
---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------
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.

[Q] can someone teach me how to build a ROM

My friend owns an samsung galaxy tab 4 t-230 and would love to upgrade it into a more pure android. Since i kind of got into android ROMs and there are no AOSP or CM roms for the tab 4 t-230 this would be a great chance for me to build a AOSP or CM rom. I have ubuntu 14.10 and a decent enough pc with 16 gb of ram and an i7. If anyone could help me abit of how to build a AOSP or CM rom for the device i would be verry thankfull.
----------------------Edit-----------------------
I wanted to say thank to you guys! I did quite some progress by now. If you own a t230 / nu then feel free to check out my custom kernel

Relevant post - some starting info, and check out the CM wiki he links to. Also, and this is a very basic step, but if you've never done this before it can be informative: download a rom zip file (preferably but not necessarily a stock-based kitkat rom for this device) and open it up in either 7zip or WinRar, check out the layout and structure, and familiarize yourself with the updater-script. (Actually you can do that with a firmware tar file too). Sorry I can't give you any more useful info, not a dev, definitely not a rom designer, just a guy who knows a fair amount of android stuff.
Also don't let the tone of that post discourage you; the poster was answering a guy who was basically asking about the feasibility of building a brand new rom for the sole purpose of being able to use one particular proprietary Samsung app. Yes it is difficult, but still doable, and you say you're motivated...

Yes i did forgot to say that any links for learning are appriciated

Well.. I would ask moonbutt74 for more info regarding commands and such, probably more info than I can give but.. keep in mind your going to have to download about 20+GB of source code and all that. Also a bunch more knowledge of more things I don't remember. But it is alot
-DUHA

Well I decided to revisit this thread. Never thought I would come so far. I really want to say thanks to all of you who supported me and still support me. Everyone has a beginning and here was mine. Now I am actually there where I really wanted to be. Releasing a custom kernel and finally work on a custom ROM! Thank you XDA!

Also I thank you my life for introducing me to moonbutt74. He learned me everything from how to work with custom kernels to Roms. Sadly he decided to stop developing a few Werks ago but he's doing it for his own good. I still will mention @moonbutt74 on my future projects because he really is the one who changed me from confused to knowing what is actually going on. So thanks allot !

BigBrains OS - I was not allowed to post inn development section

DISCONTINUED
Hi Kenzoers,
I have a great pleasure in introducing a new Android OS to the world which is based on Lineage OS Source code and I thank Lineage team very much for the device tree, kernel and ofcourse the total Source code of it. We are starting rolling out this ROM only for Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo) - The SnapDragon Version as of now and soon it'll reach other popular devices as well. This ROM is named as BigBrains OS as this rom is build by BigBrains (That's us - Prast and Me. Well i'm Uvneshkumar and Prasat is my friend). Is this yet another ROM which has the features of almost any other custom ROMs? The answer is both yes and no. This ROM is almost nearly the same as that of the Lineage OS, but it has something apart from that. Well what's that? Have you ever thought of modifying something in android which you almost don't like? Or add an extra feature which you'ld love to have? May be most of you would've done the both. But how many of you have tried to implement that? Again ofcourse, many of you might have tried that also, but most of you might've failed and stopped working. Or some of you may not have enough resources to build a ROM. So why am I saying all this to you? Well, BigBrains OS is the solution to that. Sounds cool right. How? We've decided to develop BigBrains OS with the base source of Lineage OS and the idea of BigBrains OS's users. We code what you say into BigBrains OS and that'll reflect in the next update. And ofcourse this only happens if there is a good support for any new features.
We've added our own app into this ROM - BigBrains Touch - through which you can update your rom, and give us suggestions or even have funny chat with us. You'll have to check for updates manually and you will not be notified for any new update. We'll resolve this in the next update.
So why we've started this ROM? Well, it's a proven fact that "Unity is Strength". We may have some ideas which you don't like and if we add that into our ROM, you'll simply change the ROM. Right? Yes. So instead, all our users unitedly give us ideas, and you'll enjoy that in your next version. Isn't that COOL? Yes. So what are you waiting for? Give this ROM a try and give us your suggestions in BigBrains Touch app, so that we could improve ourselves.
You can find the ROM in this link. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=178249. So that's it guys. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to message us here or mail us at [email protected] or [email protected]. We'll be eagerly waiting for your messages.
Stay tuned and help us get tuned.
Thank you all.

Just one question, what is special in this ROM and why we should use this ROM instead of lineage os and other custom ROMs?

[TEST][ROM]Test builds ported from 4X

Here I'll post test ROM builds ported from Redmi Note 4X (SD625) for you to try them.
Use with caution. Bugs are expected.
If the build for the particular ROM is good enough I'll open a separated thread for it and will keep it updated.

I don't have any knowledge of porting or building roms, but lack of development for our device is really disappointing. Thank God you jumped in. I was also thinking that redmi note 4 has almost identical hardware that of p2. Good luck, we are here to back you up (most probably as testers.) But I can promise that I shall put more effort in learning porting and building.
Btw, a debloated MIUI will definitely go very well with our p2. Also, kindly try to look into other non cm/aosp based roms like LEWA OS, FIUI, EMUI, EUI, COLOR OS, FUNTOUCH OS etc.

Answering your questions... I won't put any additional work on VoLTE as it's not available in my country, but still some ROMs may support it out of the box. Building a ROM better than stock is impossible, the stock Nougat ROM is near perfect imo. MIUI why not, I'm not a fan of it, but I know many others like it.

For me the only major issue with cutom roms is the not working audio slider during conversations (volume is fixed to a mid level) and the fact that during conversation with loudspeaker the other person can hear him/herself, making the conversation impossible. There are some related messages in other threads, look for my posts.
If you manage to fix this this device will almost be perfect, but I don't use volte and I seldom use wi-fi tethering.

Well, by "better" I mean in terms of battery life since I've read lots people saying that custom roms don't perform that good with battery. I would say that a custom rom is better than stock even if it could reach that battery life.

the beta version is installed fastbootd through the firmware of all the necessary sections through flash.bat slot b in the same way you can return to nothingOS. I don’t know how the release will be installed.

A Google Phone would be better for modding. Or any other big flagship with open source kernel. Sadly OnePlus is really bad now. I bought a 10 Pro for a Family Member. Its ColorOS now and does not support "real root" anymore.
I really hope Nothing will be more open for modding in the feature so far its a great device.

If you want directly custom rom, don't asking for custom rom for a device out there 2 months ago.
For sure Nothing Phone 1 will have a lot of custom rom in the future, first release/base is the rule for that.
It's better to be patient and have a good custom rom instead a rom incomplete or unstable.
Above all, installation/recovery is missing for the moment (only cuctom rom can be instalable by sideload)
and a lot of people are not ready to install a custom rom by this way, without a custom recovery.
