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!

Hello There!!
My Phone Is Mmx A120 Canvas 2 colours

After searching i found that format will fix this and i can flash like a charm
But after formatting my Device Is dead

I'm Trying TO whole flash but I'm there is no option for that only Getting without bootloader one
Then i've checked it memory in memory test option now i'm getting
Nand Flash Not Detected
Plz!!! tell me what i can do to take my phone back to life
The Phone is out of warrenty
There is no custom roms for galaxy a7
First, this is not a ROM request forum. Second, it's generally considered rude to ask a developer to make a ROM. Developers for the most part do this as a hobby, in their free time with no compensation outside of any donations they may receive. They do not work for you. You are welcome to start reading and researching how to build your own Android ROM.
Please do not make further posts of this nature.
Thread closed.
hi, i am just wondering where all the great kernel dev's are, and why we aren't seeing a bunch of new custom kernels for these two new excellent devices? we are seeing great progress with the new custom roms being developed, but all of that is extremely limited until we have some permissive kernels. So this is a plea out to all those great kernel builders, please work on getting all of us some great custom kernels for the G935F and the G930F, as well as the FD, W8 and others. thanks.
I am a noob. What exactly does a "custom permissive kernel" allow?
If you really need it, just read it

This thread has been cleaned twice now, If you don't like a users posts then add them to your ignore list or use the rp button, that's what they are for. Any more trolling/flaming will not be tolerated

Hi all,
Iam actually interested in building ROM's, porting rom's and features to contribute to the community. But one of the major hurdle is finding right resources and right testing methods. So I would like to request senior members with some experience in porting ROM, multi rom, TWRP etc., to please create a tutorial or even provide few sources where a newbie can learn about ROM development. If not a tutorial, please just publish the methods you followed during the developments you have made. This would help the community by easing the pressure on currently limited good developers. Thanks in advance.:good:

Heyyo, actually a good guide would be to check out OmniROM wiki. They have a guide to porting ROMs from other ROMs to theirs. Otherwise? Please check the commit history of any rom that the LeEco Le Max 2 has been ported to.
https://github.com/omnirom/Docs/blob/master/Porting_Omni_To_Your_Device.md
Of course, every ROM is different so for other ROMs hopefully they have a guide otherwise you'd have to check commit history of other devices and see what they had to change.
You can also find a lot of the recent work the Le Max 2 community has done on here for device, kernel and vendor.

I can't recommend the omni way to build. It's harder for a newbie to build omni other then lineage. At least that's my opinion

Here's the link to build lineage specially for our device. If you have any problems, pm me. I can guide you through the whole process to build a rom. I started from nothing and learned how to build roms with help from great people so it's not that hard
Hello Devs,
I am a Mi A1 user for almost 7 months and was an avid user of custom roms and after trying each and every rom , I came upto a conclusion that DIRTY UNICORNis one of my favorite rom and I hope its favorite of many other users too.
So being a non-techy guy , i would like to request the respected devs to please come up with Dirty Unicorn v12.0 for our beloved phone and pile up the list of custom roms by one floor more.
Waiting for the devs to respond to the thread with some positive feedback.
Looking forward
To all the Dirty Unicorn Rom Lovers , please comment down and support our community to grow more and do tag the developers if possible.
i hope we get DU and EX kernel they were my favorite on my previous devices
Working on it, trying to fix some things to build it, if I success, I will test it and bring it the quicker I can :good:
By now I am working in another rom, so it will take a little longer
