Could Anyone tell me the pros and cons of multirom because the xda community seems pretty divided to me on thi issue. And if the pros outweigh the cons, could any dev tell me how building it is different/same to other roms?
Do we even have multirom for our xperia SP, is it compatible with locked bootloader?

not yet although @Furrydaus said that at some point he "might" think about it. Impossible is nothing :silly:
MultiROM isn't a ROM
MultiROM is kernel based and i'm not all too confident of kernel building
The Xperia SP only has 8GB of internal storage
Combining SD Card and Internal Memory Storage Space is still glitchy for me at least
Not worth my time and effort at the moment
Focusing on completing my projects ASAP
@Furrydaus And i have been following your projects for quite a while. I must say you are doing a fabulous job. Thank you for all your efforts

Hi everyone! You guys probably don't know me (Shawn5162) because I haven't been active in the Moto G 2014 forums (except for my restore tool for windows) but I am very active in other device forums such as the Galaxy S5, Note 10.1 2014 Edition, LG G3, etc. In those forums I am defiantly a recognized dev, mostly for porting or compiling ROMs . But the reason I landed in this forum is because I recently I got a new device...the Moto G 2014 and feel it is a great device. But to my shock there were NO great ROMs for this device (by no means am a hatting on the 1 or 2 ROMs here). And that's where I come into play. I am a dev who has a lot of experience with AOSP and compiling and thus want to bring forth a great AOSP ROM for this device. Now I there will be no problem building it as I have experience and if do run into any issue I can refer to the Moto G 2013 devs (since both devices share almost identical specs). Also the AOSP ROM will always be on the latest version of Android (I promise i'll try my best). After all, the good thing about AOSP ROMs is you can have great levels of customization. Now there is a slim chance of failure in the project (like 1% only because everything in life has a chance of failing) but if everything goes well you guys will have a great dev supporting a great ROM. Finally, thanks for your cooperation and I will keep you guys posted all the way.
Sincerely,
Shawn5162
Also if you guys want this project to happen...please comment in the XDA comment section below.

Why is there something wrong
Thanx dev!....if u need a tester ..m here
Wow this would be Great! Hopefully it will grow and give us a cool AOSP ROM.
Thanks a ton!
That would be great, thanks
I really would appreciate some more development in here.Thx for that announcement!
Finally Devs Coming.
Best of luck Shawn. :thumbup:
If you make it, it would be Giant leap for Moto G
Awesome man..... I Really appreciate what u r doing for this community....
Coming from a nexus phone which broke and buying this device for the price, would be nice to see more roms.
Bring it. I love AOSP. And if you did it there would def be some donations coming your way.

I agree
The more, the merrier! Nothing wrong with having thriving development Hopefully once one of these kind of ROMs gets brought to the Moto G 2014, the rest will follow.

Hi Everybody
after some weeks Trying developing ROM's and Kernels i almost Give up... the kernel developing to MTK SoC is too much different compared to qualcomm SoC's (To me at least...) after compile more than 10 kernels to Run at my phone i only get Bluetooth and Radio FM not working with random reboots annoying frequently... but a real modifications to get this phone more smooth usage fail every time...(if you only compile the original source kernel it will run exactly like original kernel...)
I'm too n0#b alone to get everything running at developing process(kernel or ROM dev.).. at qualcomm phones(Xperia Acro S and Xperia L), i get more things running correctly with much more help from others Developers... but not released anything because it will be more from the same as others releases...
so if anyone here have more knowledge about that developing process things i have the Kernel Source and ROM platform to our phone...
---
i already try make CM12.1 run too.. but don't boot =#.. and if get work soon will be too much unstable to release, like my kernels =#
i will try port CM12.1 from @fire855 using that tutorial
the other possibility is try make compile the CM12.1 using our sources with modification from this ROM
but i will need help to make it compile right =#
so.. i will like have a discussion about that process with you guys... if anyone have some experience to help our phone have more custom's things to don't be locked with Original stuff/performance only.. if anyone have a useful guide, video or tutorial to compile anything to MTK SoC's it will be great too :highfive:
I appreciate your effort! I don't know much about MTK personally, but there is a thread on 4pda about porting CM 12.1 to MTK processors.

already started try port CM12.1 ... but will not work too much things... almost every sensor will not work because that cross-firmwareOS port (CM Modules Drivers have a different compilation process =#) what i can do is try upgrade our source kernel using other MT6592 Sources to can compile the CM12 to our device... but again i will need find Module Updates drivers(blob) from other phones sources... =#
and my status with that right know is fixing a lot of errors while i compiling the kernel... i don't reach the inHouse ROM Compilation to than can get more Errors on logs to fix to release a simple Almost "stable" rom to how want test if it works properly to everyone... but don't push me to get that finished.. i work everyday and when i have time i try my best to develop that :highfive:
and release a unstable ROM/kernel is a wrong because maybe can brick someone phone because my errors (ramdisk modifications, and partition table map when installing the rom)... or we can wait BLU release the Lollipop with Hope because on twitter( @ UKkazam) tell me about no lollipop updates to this phone =#
i Tweeted to [@ KazamUK] asking they about lollipop updates and receive two replays... One say about newer updates to fix bugs on OS but not about lollipop and other saying "unfortunately, not upgrades to newer Android versions will be released"... otherwise [@ BLU_Products] Replay this "Please stay tuned on our social media for future updates, thanks!"... so... we have a faith about BLU brings Lollipop to our device? i don't have sure but with lucky it will happens :highfive:
...
and the porting CM12.1 ROM don't worked with me... bootloop =# and CatLog is extremely confuse =#
Kernel source link not working
I have an opportunity to make a PORT CM12 for BLU VIVO AIR in two days. A neighbor of mine bought a VIVO AIR and I will do whatever is necessary to get the ROM on the device.
I helped the BLU VIVO IV the users to have CM12. But as the device was not mine, so I could not fix some bugs. In the same epoch I talked to a BVA User and helped the kernel issue. He had given me feedback in relation to not have phone signal and not be able to replace the IMEI. But as I had no time, and the phone in my hands, the CM12 ROM stood with him.
Currently, it is quite possible that after CM12 MT6592 to be 95% stable in most of these devices Socs, the VIVO AIR may also have.
Once I have the device in hands, I'll let you guys know if CM12 can be available for all users VIVO AIR.
But if anyone know a actually already exist a ROM CM12 for VIVO AIR and clones.... Let me know...??
That would be awesome and I'm sure as me a lot of users are going to be happy about it

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!

Have u built any rom for Xperia XA Ultra Dual F3216 with VoLte support?
Please tell....
i will try to make one from my knowledge, but im sure that i will face at least imei-baseband unknown, and camera fc error. i can make the system of it but cant fix those problems...
sadly, it didnt work out... i was using c5 ultra before f3211, and i ported a custom rom from k3 note and k4 note. it worked but as i said imei baseband and camera were the problems, i did the same procedure but faced many problems. so many files are missing like mt6755 files, lib files, firmware mddb files etc. i gave it a try and it got stuck in boot logo. we need to build a device tree for sure otherwise we are not getting any custom rom...
tried this rom : https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/development/rom-aokp-nougat-t3690278
Did the f3216 support VoLte in ur build??
F3216_36.1.A.0.182_R4B_INDIA GENERIC_1303-3635.FTF
"dl13.easy-firmware.com/download.php?ds=326531xtc203d4e88129d44db0cc293830 9fc51ad1b848df3"
I think so this will work

Hi guys,
First time modding on a Sony variant here. I'm looking for a clean rom to remove the stock on the said Xperia L2 H3311 (Mediatek MT6737T) variant however after searching around there is no official forum for this device? any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies if this has been asked before, starting to pull my hair out a bit trying to find info on this phone.
Many Thanks

Hi I started a thread some time ago now HERE hoping to bring all the MediaTek SoC based Sony phones together to share all the common development.
All the MediaTek SoC based phones share 98% of things so what works on one will probably work on another. For instance I made a boot.img for the L2 using the same method as I use for my C4, XA and L1.
There is a real lack of devs or maybe just devs that are working alone so it would be better for them meet up in a common thread to work on development and share their experiences.
I see lots of duplicated development going on with people struggling when most of it was solved a longtime ago
