How does a ROM become official? - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

How does a phone get official LineageOS?
Do the devs behind Lineage decide on the phones that get it or can any dev make it (considering it's stable, bug free n stuff)?
Sorry if this does not belong in the j5 thread, I was just wondering about it cuz I see that the LineageOS the j500xx has is unofficial...

Let's ask @SoUnd001. Hey bro, please when a Rom like Lineage gets Official status?

AOSP for J7

Well its always been that with CM we have been stuck with the camera or reboots.. But considering recent achievements of CM and Resurrection Remix by developers I hope we get a stable one.
But just for instance is it possible or is it easy to have an AOSP Nougat for J7 2015? Since it is a Google source i don't think the source will have any bugs like the Camera of CM which is traveling from CM11.
Considering current situation we will all appreciate a stable nougat build.. Be it AOSP.
No offense to Developers but i was just sharing my views..

Instead of asking for so much how about you try making it yourself?
I have some experience at installing Linux by compiling things. I would like to work on AOSP. would be kind of you if you provide new with some pointers as follows.....
I am a little confused with the data overload and would like some pointers...
I want to keep only the relevant drivers in the system. So where do i find the original proprietary source files for my Samsung j7 device ?
A good guide on how to compile and the things to keep track of during all this would be very helpful. Thanks.
I am also stuck at sources. Because its not always that a CM source or a Resurrection source would be fit for an Aosp build. So i was just making a suggestion for the experienced devs..

this isnt the right category for such kind of thread.
To answer your question, none. Everyone has its own annoying bugs, or everyone is missing features that others have. Best so far was lineage os but latest update screwed up everything and the OP, for unknown reason, removed the older builds

Very useful: fast or not, battery Sot, important bugs or minor bugs, special features: vulkan, etc.
Please not fill threat with Volte and Godix. There are many fixes.
Important: post name of rom and build date!
Use any rom you want with Nagatobimaru kernel! Damn it is a great kernel.

RR cos they got wheater **** working
I used to like AospExtended, had the least bugs of all the AOSPs (i want notification and ring sliders separated)
I had to go back to MIUI tho, none of them has working mic cancellation on hangouts... its weird bcs in skype it works fine, but I can't use skype :/
none of them and wrong section
Try one by one, you will find a real answer,.

Thread moved.
Anyways, making threads asking what is the "best rom" is really pointless. Everyone loves something different, judgement is super subjective. If you were to ask me 2 years ago what the "best rom" would be, I would probably say ParanoidAndroid because of its clean interface. Fast-forward a couple months, then I would tell you that it is CrDroid, because feature packed roms are the best! Fast-forward until two months ago, I would tell you CarbonROM, because that's when I joined their team and became a developer for the ROM :silly:. Do you guys see my point? How about some constructive criticism and discussion like asking "What is your favourite N rom and why?" instead (That's what I changed the thread title to be, anyways )! So guys, what's your favourite N rom and why? Let's try to keep this discussion clear of any arguments and any XXX is better than XXX. I'll start!
AICP has been in the Android rom community for a very long time. Their head developers are cool, and they keep things organized and feature packed!
None because there's always something that end up broken. Camera, Fingerprint etc...
dirty unicorn is best 7.1 rom. fast fluid. just try one time you ll love it.

I think you should make a poll to see which rom is having the most user. About me, it is unofficial lineage os. I like that because the op there support for both fpc and goodix, and because lineage os is cyanogenmod's legacy...

[REQUEST] Lineage OS for SM-N910T

Im tired of seeing these Note 7 roms and I want to relive these Cyanogenmod days but Cyanogenmod is dead. Is there a possibility that there is a way we can get developers to build a rom for the superiour Note 4? I like Lineage OS because of its OTA function that releases bug fixes and updates. Im not offending anyone or anything... Its just not my taste. I think 7.X is a big milestone for the Note 4 since Samsung wont release any more upgrades anymore due to its age. I know some people who want 7.X so bad but their good phones are "TOO OLD" I will sit here and wait til someone builds it.

This forum is NOT a forum for your to request Lineage for your device! It's a forum for the discussion of development of LineageOS. These thread I'm already seeing pop up about people asking for Lineage posts are ridiculous. This isn't a place to come and ask for people to port ROMs to your device, so please don't treat it as such. Thank you.

Best custom ROMs for LG G4?

Hi, guys!
I saw there is already a thread about this, but it is quite outdated so I decided to start a new one. So since there would most probably NOT be an update to Nougat for our phones, I plan installing a custom rom, but since I am a newbie in this field I decided to ask for opinions. Honestly I am mostly attracted by the LineageOS 14.1/15 as successor of the CM, but there may be better options. I found some threads about LineageOS 15 been released but the link for our phones has been removed, reasons unknown. The 14.1 seems quite stable and with good reviews. But nevertheless please share your experience with any custom roms that you have, also please share whether G4 specific features like the double tap to lock/unlock the screen work with it?
If relevant I have a h815 model.
Thank you,
It is personal. You can ask that what do you use custom rom or why do you use LOS etc.
You will get more answers like this way.

Testers wanted Ressurection Remix Pieand Oreo

I'm going to start building ressurection remix both pie and oreo for the note pro 12.2 P900 and T900. However I don't have the device at the moment. I'm looking for testers as I don't have the device so expect bugs and things to be potentially broken. I will be posting builds here and when things are more stable I will make a post in the development section. If you are interested please join the telegram group

Bless you:laugh: I'm pretty busy, but I'm willing to try when I can and give feedback. I've got a P900 wifi with twrp 3.1.1. Lineage 14.1 rooted with magisk.
That's great news.
Got a P900 v1awifi now running with TWRP 3.3.0-0, LOS 14.1 unofficial plus Magisk and nano Gapps.
I also have a P900 and I could test your builds from time to time.
Thanks a lot!!!!
will test, but at this point, focus only on pie, and at one device at once, but thanks for your efforts man
When will the ressurrection pie for samsung p900 be release here?

Thanks everyone who replied. I will try and get my hands on a device as soon as I have the money however I am an unemployed student on the plus side at least I have time to build . Pie would be simply amazing. All the sources are there so when i get time I will start building. I'm really jealous of the IPad pro on the IOS side so this is the next best thing. Pity there are no more really big android tablets to replace the note pro though. But if I can build pie it dosen't matter anyway. Once RR works and is stable I might start building some other Pie roms like Lineage OS 16 or AOSP Extended
Add me to the list of testers.

This is indied the only large android tab out there ^^ hope it can survive a few years extra with pie update

I will build as soon as possible hopefully by weekend. I first need to fix my broken unbootable manjaro(linux) system once that is done I'll start building. I hope to get the first unnoficial build up by monday. Fixing bugs will be interesting as I don't have the device and I'm new to android development . It's also end of semester and I have deadlines that need to be met. I'll do my best though. I will post the testing builds on this thread I'll setup a telegram or discord where people can report issues.
I have a P900 running Lineage 14.1 (not sure what version of TWRP).
Anyway I am willing to be a tester.
I am not familiar with generating logcats (or any other logging software) but I am willing to help.
I'll test. P900
I would like to participate as well. As I see so far, I would be the only one for the T model
p900 pie please
Sorry guys the build has been pushed back till next week anyone interested in being a tester feel free to join my telegram group I have setup. I will release builds on xda as well as on the telegram channel. Any questions feel free to ask on telegram rather than XDA. Ressurection remix Unnoficial by minilandl
