Regarding feedback for custom roms

Since I cannot post in the development section, I will post this here.
I've been crawling the forums for some time now and I really appreciate kyrillos and Lestatios custom roms.
You guys are doing a really good job.
But one request for all the people active in the respected custom roms' threads:
Please stop spamming requests about what app shound be included in the rom and what launcher and so on...
Both Kyrillos and Lestat seem to tend trying to incorporate all suggestions that one raises in the threats.
Especially now, that the new froyo sources are available there are more important things to be done for our "rom heros".
incorporating "useless" apps to please 2 people just bloats the custom rom and keeps the devs from creating custom roms that are really "custom" on a much lower level, instead of just random pre-installed-app roms.
Kyrillos and Lestat: You need to be more arrogant!
You should be straight then it comes to developing your custom roms!

Thats a caring, yet stead-fast Developer for you..!!! Great response Lestat, keep up your good work...!! We all love your ROMs...!!

Right,
if i want bloatware on my android i might as well install m$ office.
Beter to concentrate efforts on building a lean mean android machine.
Theres more than enough apps in the market for users to chose from.

Valid Question
I have the same issue, can't post in development and hate those spammers. But here's a valid question:
Now that there is a clean XXJLP on the lose, is it still better to install Krillios ROM or Lestagious ROM or to go with the new and shiny JPL?

Keep your development to yourself. There is no need for another sense 2.1 ROM.
VigiDroid works on his SenseOnFire and that is enough. There is no guide for ROM developing. And don't be tricked that changing a few apps is developing or making an "own" ROM. That is merely scraching the surface that anyone could do. Try compiling cm nightlies from source (many tutorials for that) because the biuldbot is broken as of now.

Zoomas Thanks ... I will keep it to my myself....I ll try out other things
Could have replied mildly..I am new to the group..
Thanks Guys... I ll try and let u guys know abt it..

Sure he didn't mean any disrespect by it, its just we have an awkward situation of some people taking others work and repackaging it as there own, its frowned upon by many here.

[Starting] Need team members [New Project]

The beginning of a new Drug for flashaholics
We wanted to start a new Rom based on AOSP !
Well every start is hard as you already know. Because our phone is getting older we need something like a Drug for our phone
So we decided to create the rom called Infusion !
PS: (Better names are welcome)
Code:
Members until now:
*Me Rom_Tester (Developer / Scripter)
*AlkaDragos (Wallpaper/Banners/Support)
*LeRussian (Builder)
--------------------------
Which people are welcome/ needed:
-Themer for Rom which can theme framework,statusbar
-2.Developer
-People with github knowledge
-write if you want help
---------------------------
This wont be a noob thread! And not a noob Rom!

Some Inspiration

AOSP based? Do you plan on Official JB baser ROMs? I was thinking of making my own kernel and ROM as currently all epic devs are gone. Like hyperdroid team, but then I got my exam date sheet so I cancelled.
So I mean if you ever want to go for Samsung based ROM, call me in.
And a simple GIT guide http://rogerdudler.github.com/git-guide/

I would be happy to help, I make Youtube videos with 2K subscribers who I can promote the rom to and I can make graphics and I'm good at branding.

i dont know anything about developping and building i just understand android and some pc stuff, i dont know much about software but hardware i get it. anyway but im willing to help in any way to get this working! maybe... tester?

[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!

I'm amazed on how much people learn and achieve as well as myself. I've seen people who were total newbies then later built custom recoveries, CM12, Mods, Roms etc. Anyway good luck on working your rom!

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 !

How many developers working on Ascend XT?

I know there is Custom Rom thread but it's kinda outdated and most devs updates are spread into different threads.
But my main question is:
Who are currently working on custom roms?
Which version and base? RR, Lineage, MM or Nougat etc....
Obviously it will not ask any ETA... Im patiently waiting for any rom not stock based. And hope the best for the devs can complete the task.

Not the same... i was asking what was going on with custom roms because there was no sign of active developments.
Now the question is: how many are working on it and their status.

As explained before, there already is a thread with information about the Ascend XT development status. Therefore, this thread got closed.
