Tens of thousands of RN3 users owe a big thanks to you. You are the reason why many of us buy a new device and unlock it the very next day, root it and flash TWRP. You are the reason why we get the latest software. (Using assistant on RN3, nougat, DT2W, Quick Charge, CPU Governers etc).
I dont disrespect you. I cant cook ROMs, I cant force you to make anything for me.
I have owned 3-4 devices in last few years and have been a diehard fan of custom ROMs.
My observation is that in case of all the devices, its a common theme over XDA that each team is developing their own ROMs. But from a users point of view, it is a dilemma. . You choose one ROM and loose some features of another ROM.
In case of RN3, with Linage & AOSiP, Volte is working out of the Box.
RR is the best ROM in terms of customization, but its a nightmare to get VOLTE working on RR (Flash MIUI, get your phone wiped, wait for 30 minutes to boot it up, use some 26/11 build).
You pick up AOSP and you again miss out on customization.
RR is based on CM but still very different from Linage.
Linage is pretty much barebone.
The problem right now is Lack of XPOSED, with xposed, it was very easy to get the customizations. To name a few, network speed indicator xposed module, Download Progress Bar, Block Google Ads etc.
So without XPOSED, we depend on you for the customizations.
Someone has VULKON, Someone has OMS, for some camera works better.
AOSiP gives the best LTE signal strength,
with linage, you cant turn off fingerprint sensor vibration (I use VibraFix app from play store to disable fingerprint vibration and make it snappy).
So its a thought, from an end user. (Always people start making negative comments and ask moderator to take the thread down, dont do that, positive feedbacks help sometime).
My request is, why dont you guys collaborate in a better manner on a common GIT. You can build your own ROMs, and yes you use each other's fix, and yes you compete with each other at one level, that see, my ROM is best.
I see comments like, camera is buggy, use Google Camera, so why not include Google Camera in the original build along with Snap Camera).
We can get a very good ROM if you guys work together. Why cant we have this forum to share your views, roadmap, issues summary here along with on GITs & REPOs as normal user never goes there.
Some people say they need source code from xiomi, but with same resources available to everyone, why the outcome is different.?
For example, if vulkan is better then why cant every rom can have it.. why not everyone can have OMS. If one DEV can get it working with same available resources then why cant the other one..
What is the fun in making a new custom rom where the only difference is a few names in build.prop and a different boot animation.
Xiomi is using multiple camera and fingerprint sensor, but there must be some way to figure out sensor names.. eg for fingerprint one can check if its goodix or FPC.
So dear devs.. you are superman and batman in individual capacity.. but come together to form the justice league.
Please build a larger team, work together to include all possible features in a single package.
Regards.

hi, i using kenzo with goodix fp, only have 4,5 custom rom, i want make rom for it but my server i bad, it make rom about 7 hour for 64 bit devices, 32 bit is normal, i no have time to make some rom for it
1, rr,aosip,... i dont care features of it, simply i love sony ui- xosp i make it for kenzo
2, i dont know c,java,android launguage, i dont make apk, i no use mod
3, i hate redmi devices many camera company, fp company this is reason why camera f.c, only camera font work, dont connect to camera,...
4, i like vibrant when i touch to fp
5, if we are make i github with all repo, i will like trash, really
6, now,i want comeback miui to take picture with my girl friend but setting f.c because dont find device(few mounth ago, i enable find device)
7 i dont care camera, i just use kenzo for play game
sorry, my english very bad
Nice effort.
Read the complete post, NIcely written. I agree with what you've written. Let's see what happens. I would be really happy to see a ROM that has the best of all roms combined.
I would also appreciate if somehow someone can bring MIUI Apps to our custom roms as some of the apps like CALC, MiRemote and all are really good. Especially the default MI file explorer which has hidden folder. I know CM Explorer also has a secure storage but I feel that MI's explorer is better. :Excited:
All roms and kernels here have open sources and all devs try to make Kenzo better all the days, in relation at the possibility of each, try to ask the at xiaomi to open open their sources the reverse engineering is not simply to do...After you can build your rom with all features that you want
Weeeew
A good move!

U have made a really good move by posting this! Everything u have written is really appreciable! I'm waiting for response of developers on this!
Good message. I really wish for a world like this. However, I do know a tiny bit more than you although I cannot code or build ROMs. Correct me if I am wrong but AFAIK, The "Official builds" have to be official and so must come from the lineage team or from the slim team etc. You take the code base, put on your blobs and other stuff and compile it. So, there are going to be differences in the code base and so the build varies from ROM to ROM. Lineage is built on CM which had a policy that build them the minimal independent self-sufficient system that works. So, you get CM apps and thats it. Slim says give them a bootable system. They leave it to the users to add the apps they like. Resurrection Remix says that you want features, I have dumped them all here. So, you can't ask them to have a uniform codebase.
On the other side, there are the blobs which they source from different places and so once a dev tests one blob and finds it amazing, he can share it with all the others and things will be awesome. But that is where the good news ends. Once the dev uses a blob and it has some conflicting code with some package, he makes modifications and the chain of things he did is hard to keep a track of. The other dev was approaching a different way and so he will not agree to all the chain of modifications as it breaks things for him.
Bottom line:- It is a messy world out there. But the idea is still plausible to a great extent. My two cents of advice is that, one dev please volunteer and make a fully featured ROM with features and reviews cherry picked and stuffed. And while you are at it, please include AROMA installer so that people who like substratum or Vulkan or other things may choose it and the others leave it.
@aveemashfaq
i have too thought one month ago about aroma customized post installation toolkit .i made it for my personal use as it has included all vulkan,volte,hd icon diseabler(thanks to sudeep duhoon),custom popular kernels ,osmosis scripts (wonderful person)selected gapps ,user apps ,agni toolbox stuffs and many more like a cherry picked boot animations,ringtones ,fonts etc but i cant post it publically with some reason .

I was very desperately searching for solution for using GB on Yureka. Don't get me wrong, Cyanogen rocks yet I'm not a fan of Cyanogen but of AOSP !!!
For now, I simply just want to add Network traffic Indicator in Status bar, which is awesome tweak available in most Custom ROMs. Tell me who doesn't in country like India don't want to know exact data transfer speed when they're using Internet on Wi-Fi or 2G(3G) in terrible Networks we have??? YU Brand which asked Cyanogen to make OS for their product should have thought Network traffic Indicator which is one of mandatory software tweaks aftermarket custom OS must have for country like India. I know an app "INTERNET SPEED METRE LITE" that shows speed. But knowing Up and Down speed simultaneously is must for a Power user. That app is awesome work for Non-rooted phones. Cyanogen containing after-market tweaks must have added this tiny status addon, but they don't !!!
To get that, I've tried Custom CM based ROMs. Not just one but many. Every ROM reboots itselves randomly without even showing a error message. During such causes last_kmsg is always empty. I used least Minimalistic Gapps which works flawless on my Nexus device.
Hence this my Mind-thought I thought seems best solution. Than, Collaborating with Cyanogen, YU could have saved money simply by using AOSP Android versions on their phones, thus reducing more cost, granting fluid,awesome,STABLE android experience. Updating to latest android will be lot easier! Porting OS's will be easy. There exist Xposed and GB to satisfy all power users. ROoting can be done easier. CM can easily be made on AOSP. AOSP is difficult to derive for CM commits!!!
I Really appreciate works @percy_g2 who have build AOSP version for Yureka at http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/orig-development/rom-android-source-project-t3097017 I would simply use that If it's Radio is made working...
Being Nexus user, Yureka is difficult to arrive at that fluid Stable Power user experience what I always enjoyed on my Nexus 4. So, what do YU people think ???, vote and reply on...
Bro! What exactly is this post for ?
Pure AOSP for Yureka - Yes Please !!
Yes as mentioned above and have used MOTO G 2 earlier, I switched to Yureka for 4G LTE Connection but I miss the Pure AOSP Vanilla Experience which I used to get from MOTO phone. I am currently on SOKP which is an AOSP based rom but had some tweaks added. I also looking for someone from the Devs to build or port a pure AOSP Rom without any modifications from the Source.
Hope we will soon see a Pure AOSP Rom !!
Hello Guys,
welcome to the world of Team-Exodus.
What is Team-Exodus ?
We are a small group of entusiasts that like to learn more about Android and the Android-ROM developement.
We aren't exactly beginners But there is still room to learn more (you never end learning).
What is Exodus-Rom ?
Maybe, we better should start, what Exodus-Rom isn't: It isn't a (semi)professional mainstream ROM like CyanogenMod,AOKP or similar Roms. We don't focus on buzzword features, nor are we into "bling bling" options. We don't need a "change clock color" option, just because we can do it. These are "low hanging fruits", something nearly everybody can do, who has a computer to compile Android.
So what is Exodus-Rom, what is our focus on ?
We mainly focus on learning how things can be done. We are more into "quality over quantity". We prefer to have 4 or 5 real good and stable working features and not 20-30 features that work... somehow... sometimes...
We want performance, a fast, smooth fluid UI, a real good user experience, not a overbloated kang rom.
For instant that's the main reason why we currently don't have a Marshmallow Rom online, but I will give you a little more information regarding Exodus-6.0 (marshmallow) later.
But before that, who are we, who is "Team-Exodus" ?
The core team of "Team-Exodus" consists of the following guys:
@PrimeDirective - Dave, a very talented developer from the US, founder and Team Leader of Team-Exodus, specialist in App developement (for instant our Exodus Updater or the Drop Wallpaper App) and also our specialist for in deep functionalities of the Android Rom (like a complete rewritten Navbar customization). He currently uses bacon (Oneplus One) and Flounder (Nexus 9) for developenemt
@Raja.M - Raja, a real nice guy from India, he is our java specialist, he started Android developement something link 6 month ago but his knowledge is fast growing. He developes on the bacon (Oneplus One)
@TheCrazyLex - Alex, a kernel specialist from germany, he joined Team-Exodus like 3 month ago, mainly responsible to optimize and unify our kernels where possible. He also uses the Bacon (Oneplus One) as developement device.
@usmcamgrimm - Adrian, our graphics and theme specialist. Beside his amazing wallpapers, he is also responsible for all our LGE G3 devices. He mainly developes on the VS985.
@Martin_Ro - myself, Martin, also from germany, mostly responsible for the server with the build system, gerrit and download page. I'm also developing here and there if I find some time as I'm a married guy with to young boys. I'm developing on shamu (Nexus 6).
But beside this core team, there are a lot more ppl that help us making the Exodus Rom as amazing as possible, I will add some more of them step by step
So, now, back to Marshmallow and why it takes so much more time to bring an Exodus-6.0 to you guys:
For this to understand, you need to know more about where we come from.
On late 2014 we (Dave and Me) parted from VanirAOSP (that wasn't really AOSP but also used CM as base at that time btw) because we feeled like it started to get more and more into that mainstream "feature count is everything".
With 5.1 we started to directly use CyanogenMod (cm-12.1) as base, but was somewhat annoyed by upcomming issues because they used their open source branch as testfield for unfinished stuff, so for 6.0 we decided to go as near as possible back to strict AOSP.
But a matter of fact is: With strict AOSP you aren't able to support every device, and not as many devices as we want to support. So we have had to make some decisions and try some stuff. In the end we started developing Exodus-6.0 with a Mixture of strict AOSP and CAF as base, with the really amazing wide support of CyanogenMod regarding devices.
But with this, we got back to one of our main concerns: CyanogenMod is doing a fantastic job regarding device support (nobody can beat them in that department) but they are cluttering their stuff more and more. In the past few month, they started to create their own SDK, their own framework. And their SDK started to grow like a octupus, sticking his arms into every aspect of android. But we don't want to use their sdk, so we needed to remove it from everywhere.
And that was, what took so long. We wanted the device-tree and their hardware layer, but not their feature, and for sure not their SDK. And removing that stuff from everywhere inside the device-trees and Hardware layer.
Also we needed to use some of their code stuff in various places to make the connection between our AOSP/CAF based ROM and their hardware/device stuff.
So that took us nearly a month to finish up, but now we have first working experimental builds for bacon, shamu and VS985 so we can go into the real developing stuff.
There is still a lot to do (bring back all the features we want to, make the rom that fluid that you might be used to from EXODUS-5.1 etc.) But the real hard part is done now and we are way neared to a first public beta. Depending on the time Dave can find for Exodus (he is really really busy currently because of a new job), we expect to have a public beta by the end of the month...
So stay tuned and be patient
Made sticky
Hello! I enjoyed the 1/2 of the core team's and the new teams work since JB VanirAOSP to Exodus .
Just wondering, it would be cool to say what you do to seperate you guys from the rest. I know you guys build with jdk8 instead of jdk7 for the lollipop builds and use Linaro with some optimization flags.
I'd like to know if you do more than that and also I am wondering how JDK8 especially helps with optimization.
If you need a tester for bacon. I'm here very big fan of 5.1.
Nice to hear the updates... waiting patiently...
Sounds like the beta will become a christmas present.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
big fan/user of Exodus 5.1 on falcon. out of all the LP ROMs i've tried this has to be one of the most stable and lean ROMs out there. love the amount of essential customization catered here and skipping of cliche features that no one bothers to use (atleast me).
big thanks to @sachoosaini for introducing me to the ROM.
Well here it goes on
@PrimeDirective always a great human and great developer who supported Falcon despite the fact that i can never able to contribute the device to you. I find a best buddy out there who will always be my friend... Now @koshikas thanks Dave for supporting this phone, i never did anything for exodus.. But i am committed for future. If Dave continues the journey for exodus i will be with him in all way... Well what he told me around 6-7 months back is now coming to the real world. Now they support falcon or not. But I am honored by Dave for being there with all the silly questions people ask in community, falcon has great life indeed now its upto the team they develope for it not. I will donating device as soon as I am getting my salary which i am for sure going to get soon..... Wish Luck to exodus....6.0 is on the horizon
If you need a tester...

Hi guys
Only to keep you informed: We started publishing official release builds for Exodus-6.0.

Br0Zip: a new era of ROM building
We know our users; their biggest desire is to be able to get a stable custom rom on their device. Painlessly.
Lineage supports a lot of devices, but this big number is still small when compared to the amount of the devices available in the market.
One of our main goals is to bring the latest Android version to all those forgotten devices, but we also focus on user experience and security improvements.
The main problem with this cool thing is that you need a developer that builds and fixes all the bugs. It’s a pain, we’ve done it many times.
But these days are gone now. We’re deprecating maintainers. Yeah - you read it right.
We’re proud to annouce our AI-powered revolutionary product called Br0zip.
Br0zipperEngine, is a powerful AI that powers Br0Zip. Given any .zip ROM or .img kernel of any device (yeah - any device) it’ll be able to generate a properly working ROM.
It’s cool, isn’t it? But wait - there’s more: we believe customization is important, and that’s why we implemented a feature selector in the ROM builder wizard, so you can make your ROM truly yours.
Anyone, including those who have never touched a single line of code now can be a talented developer and create their own bugless custom ROM for their device in seconds.
The best thing? It runs directly on your phone - you don’t even need a supercomputer.
Br0zip trial will included for free in the LineageOS builds.
We can’t wait to see what you’ll build with it.
Keep romming,
The Lineage Ink. team
....Did you check the date on the post?
;~) What's life without a little humor?
However there is this thread over here for a very well working unofficial LineageOS port for our N910T https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3536401
I'm back on Verizon after switching to Sprint back in 2008. So I recently picked up a mint condition Verizon Note 4 so I could have a little fun building a new Note 7 port ROM. Many of you may know me as the creator of the Ultimate Note 7 ROM for the Sprint Note 4. I'm here to tell all of you that I've been working on a new Ultimate Note 7 ROM for the Verizon Note 4. It is nearly ready for public beta release! With the experience I have porting Samsung Touchwiz ROM's. I figured it is long overdue for the Verizon Note 4 users. My port ROM has official and original Verizon Note 7 framework, apps, etc. So instead of trying to make international port ROM's work, which is no simple task unless you know what you're doing, get ready for a true Verizon compatible Note 7 ROM. Those of you who still have your Verizon Note 4 and want to get more life and use from it with a fresh look and feel, look for a new ROM thread soon.
I need a few reliable and knowledgeable testers. If you can help troubleshoot and test the rom, please install Telegram app on your PC and your phone and join my Hybrid Port ROM's group so you can have access to the the test ROM and join the rest of us who are ready to get this thing going. See you there!
Why not a Note 8 ROM or Oreo ROM? Just curious. Forgive me, I wouldn't know of any technical constraints.
i cant wait thanks man

The S8 and N8 ROM's are Nougat 7.0. The N4 has been cut off at Android 6.0 and doesn't have official Samsung Nougat 7.0 kernel source, therefore the Snapdragon N4 can't run Android 7.0. ROM's. If this was possible we would have a lot of excited dev's continuing to build 7.0 TouchWiz ROM's for the N4. Unfortunately Marshmallow 6.0 is all we have for the N4 so the N7 Marshmallow software and perhaps some ported S8/N8 apps is as good as it gets for the N4. What i'm doing is building a solid N7 base ROM for the Verizon N4. Once it's ready I will upload it as a stock base rom. Other dev's can use my base to build out custom ROM's with mods, ROM control, Xposed, etc, etc. This will eliminate the need to fix any network related features. It will all work as it should. International N7 port ROM's are not compatible with the U.S. CDMA carrier's features. This is why we need a true Verizon N7 base rom. I know it's a little late and many people have upgraded to newer phones but if there's still users here wanting to run a proper Verizon N7 ROM, this will be it.
With this said, I welcome any and all testers and dev's to pitch in and help test and troubleshoot minor bugs. PM me if you're interested in helping with this. The ROM is 100% complete and operational but I'm working on minor bugs with a few system apps.

I realize the Note 4 has been cut off at Android 6.0, but how are devs able to come up with a 7.1.2 ROM for it? User hsbadr has three: LineageOS, ResurrectionRemix. and EmotionOS (this one seems to be discontinued). I haven't used any of his ROMs for quite some time, because they seem a bit buggy, to me, but that's beside the point I'm getting at. How is he able to make a 7.0 ROM and others can't seem to? That said, why wouldn't an 8.0 ROM be possible?

You're talking about AOSP ROM's. Those ROM's are open source from Google, not Samsung Touchwiz ROM's. Big difference. The kernels they build are not compatible with Samsung Touchwiz ROM's

Hello, I am still rocking the note 4 Verizon. And I will be keeping it as long as devoted members such as yourself put out great roms! That being said I would like to be a beta tester if you so need one. I have a little knowledge in troubleshooting and the like, mostly my expertise is in repairing and building phones. I have a whole closet that's devoted to phone parts repair, and computer systems repair. My last few phones I have held on to until the dev section went quiet, note 2, Moto atrix, moto bionic... they were awesome with deodexed/rooted roms... I am addicted to flashing new roms to find the right balance between performance and battery...
By the way, one slight request, when all said and done fixing most of the bugs, don't forget to make sure the rom has a kernel that is compatible with extended batterys. Most of us holding out with our outdated note 4, usually have those huge batteries hanging off the back...lol

No worries. I'm using the Flashpoint kernel and there's also an extended battery version. It's based on Verizon N4 QI2 so it's good to go.

I still have my Verizon Note 4, can't wait for this rom ???

I just figured you would build your own kernel. Yes, flashpoint is the best in my opinion, as of right now.

I really don't mess with kernels. That's not really my forte. If needed, I would just ask someone to build one. But since there's already one available and it happens to be from Verizon source I will use it and give credit. But I may request a new kernel from the latest source once I get the rom ready.

I think I may have the CQL1 source kernel ready. I've been running it since Tues and was thinking of posting it soon. If you, or anyone else, wants to try it out you can download it here.
The source code is here for those interested.
The changes are the same as the ones for the 910F beta kernel that was posted the other day.
Change Log:
Backported the 3.18 Linux version of Interactive Governor
Add patch for USB fast charge
Add Sound Controls- so far this hasn't negatively impacted anything but it's definitely the change I'm most concerned about and will probably make a separate version without this in the future. Be careful with this. Had my earbuds in and it gets very loud.
LED fade control
Completely reworked the thermal temperature control. So far the temperature has been throttling down pretty good when it goes above the set temp. I've been setting mine on the lowest setting.
Added zswap control
Extended Battery patch is included
On a personal note, I'm very excited to see a port rom that's not built with an international firmware. If there's anything I can help with let me know. My skills are somewhat limited but every now and again I can get lucky.
Thanks Kevin. What I want to do is get the stockish base N7 ROM done then see if there's somebody who wants to take it to the next level and add mods, rom control etc, etc. I know a lot of people like the custom mods, xposed, etc but these days I really don't care for that stuff as long as everything works as it should i'm happy. So if you know of someone who could take on that task once I get the base ROM finished, then that would be great for everyone who wants the custom stuff. And I can take a break. I'll pm some of you once the test build is ready. We'll need to test the basic functions like bluetooth NFC, wifi, etc. It should all work because i've ported these roms before so I know what all i have to do. I'll get the test rom ready as soon as i can as time permits. I'm going over framework getting it debugged and making sure it's a smooth and zippy as i can make it.

I don't use xposed anymore... too much of a hassle to get through some apps that look for it and are diabled from xposed...
Couple brainstorming requests, or something... lol
the people Edge should work properly... I've had so many TW roms that are half done and people Edge is boinked..
Something with note 7 roms and task manager is buggy on note 4...
There is a fingerprint work around for ported roms, if we could get a good, understandable write up to make that work, that would be appreciated.
TW launcher should be themeable... some ports I've tried have that boinked as well.
The brightness on some ports has an issue with not dimming, or high brightness when in sunlight and darkness...
Mostly stock feel and look is quite nice though.

All of the things you mentioned will be working, except fingerprint scanner. That is a lot harder to pull off and will be the very last thing on the to-do list. If it could be made to work other dev's would have figured it out by now without the N4 settings apk swap trick. But i will definitely try my best to get the fingerprint scanner working with my verizon N7 ROM. With Kevin's custom kernel this will be an amazing ROM for the Verizon N4! It's coming along great. It's raining all day today so i'm inside hammering away on the ROM.

I kniw it's tricky with the fingerprint, I was just suggesting an easy unified post of HOW to do it on this new rom you're making

Well it's never been accomplished by anyone as far as I know. I started working on the fingerprint scanner fix for my sprint UN7 ROM but I abandoned it due to the complexity and the time it takes to do it. It wasn't worth the amount of time and work. This is why it hasn't already been done. We'll see how it goes but I seriously doubt fingerprint scanner will be working on initial release. it's probably my biggest negative on running the N7 port ROM. I use fingerprint lockscreen even though it's the swipe method.
What's the point of custom ROMs when we already have OOS I mean it's customizable, speedy has fast update like seriously what's the point though sacrificing features like fingerprint, etc sorry if this offended some of you just asking.
I'm sure you'll get a lot of different answers because there is no ONE answer.
First and foremost people here on XDA just love to play with things! Flashoholics if you will! But if your looking for more then that:
Support for a phone long past it's EoL. I'm fairly certain Lineage is still updating for OnePlus 1, among the other plethora of devices, and thats just 1 rom.
Targeted feature sets: Some people will build a rom based on specific feature sets, like for example going full audiophile. Building in all kinds of tools and mods geared toward that. It's far easier to pick up your favorite rom from a like minded community that has everything you want built in than to do it all yourself.
Those would be 2 of the largest reasons imo. As far as your comment on no fingerprint with a custom rom, that maybe true "right now", but once 1+ releases the source code every custom rom for this device will have that feature working. So really it's a none issue, or more will be a none issue in the future. Just my 2 cents
OOS is okay, but I much prefer an AOSP looking ROM (like Havoc OS) or whatever. Way too many reasons to even list.
Custom roms will have way more features but fingerprint is not working now. Once they get FP working I'm flashing with no hesitation. I've ran roms on my last devices - OnePlus 3T and Motorola Nexus 6 and enjoyed the experience much more than stock. You seem to think more things other than FP aren't working but in my research that is the only thing. Maybe the camera optimization is a little better on OOS but I just take basic pictures so that never bothered me.
Let's flip the question around and why would you come on XDA and ask such a question? That's like being on a forum dedicated to car modifications and then you come in and ask why would you do that to your car when stock works fine?
Ehhh did I write this????
