Which groups are making Roms?

Does anyone know who are the best known recognized developer groups making Roms for the G3 (if any)?
rumors, maybes, confirmed?

I've heard cm is on it, but other than that idk
---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------
Also think I they I heard dirty unicorn is working on it, and I knoe OctOS had plans to support, but I don't think they've started yet

Cm probably do a great job on this device like others but we don't know any others yet because G3 used to have a bootloader lock.

Let's hope plenty of developers jump on board now the boot Loader problem had been circumnavigated.
Apparently LiquidSmooth is being worked on.
I would love to see purity rom on this beast also.

Can't wait to get Dirty with some Dirty Unicorns :highfive:

I haven't bothered rooting because there are no roms yet. Would be interesting to know what to expect. Cm is at least something promising.

Ohh! Purity ROM on this phone will go blazing fast! Can't wait for the flood of ROMS

I'm the same shadehh regards rooting. Untill the main stream rom makers are churning out top quality stuff I'll hold on.

I'd love to see Archidroid here. Some of the finest IMHO.

i have asked on the g+ page of aicp and test builds will be made as soon as the sources are released to bump the roms

miui
Hi guys...i love to see miui offical rom also is there any news about that.
Maybe we should let'em know about bump...

Bump! has already gained enough publicity from some tech blogs for ROM devs to know about it. Let's wait and give Team Codefire time to release the bumping process & I'm pretty sure we'll see a couple of ROMs pop-up soon after that!

CandyKat are working on a ROM. I asked the other day https://plus.google.com/114490049576855321482/posts/CAoWbPPn2cF (scroll to the bottom).

Yes we are. We have a sprint build waiting to be bumped already. Working in some device trees for other variants. We are very interested in developing for this phone as a few of us on the team have it.

I'm not too bothered about custom roms but would love to see custom kernel, something like boeffla on S3, that would be awesome

Thanks for your interest in creating ROMs for the G3. Seeing the increase in developer participation over the past week or so has been great. If you plan to put out any VS985 builds, I'd be happy to give them a test run.

AICP Rom Coming Soon

Hi, guys.
I found a video on youtube and a guide on xda on how to port roms from one device to another. Since the opo and opx almost have the same specs, I'm thinking on porting AICP rom to opx.
What do you guys think?
Im far from being a developer, but I want to learn, and I think this can be a good beginning.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Edit: I'm not going to port AICP rom to OPX anymore, instead, I'm building from source.
Hopefully, we're going to have an aicp rom soon.

I think that will require more skills since it will be more difficult. :| But maybe with help from people that know I can make it.

The thing with this roms is that there is no based rom of these in OPX yet, and to port (as far as I've read) you need a port rom (rom in OPO) and a base rom (rom in OPX).
For example: I chosed AICP 5.1.1 because is based in CM, and we (OPX) have a 5.1.1 CM rom, so they're very similar. There might be a Color OS rom on OPO but we don't have a similar rom on OPX, and to port them will require some real development skills which I don't have. ;D

AOSP marshmallow would be awesome...I don't manage to build it cuz of a weird bug but maybe you can !

Offical TWRP

Hello all,
Can any dev actually make official TWRP for Redmi 3s. I know cofface and the other guy made TWRPs but they aren't official.
So if anyone who knows Chinese can either contact those devs and ask for them to develop twrp officially.
Or if any one can actually develop an official version for our device.
Kind regards all

Official means if TWRP devs work on it
I don't think they've that much time to work on such devices
Instead they make it for premium phone.
And it's not hard to port TWRP if you've the original one

Please read the official twrp site, they only need sources, once the twrp is built for a device.
Redmi 3, redmi 1s, redmi note 2 all have official twrp

Oh come on people, this is the first step to official custom ROMs

can anyone tell me what is stopping them to make official TWRP for so long? every single device has it even redmi 1s redmi 3 and redmi note

Well I'm guessing that the devs are contemt with the cofface and flou twrps, but it would still be nice if we got the attention of somebody, who knows how to build a recovery and make it official.
I would do it, but I would need to learn from scratch and it would probably take to long
Devs pls help

I never really understood why people are unsatisfied with unofficial builds, as long as they work without any issues
What's bugging you?

there is the reason they are unofficial,it all depends on one person ro maintain regular updates,no regular fixes less room to work with and btw not a single build so far is bugless or stable on our device so maybe that is why. No one fixed dark video in camera recording so far for almost 3 months with kernel source out.

So no one with a bit of knowledge is willing to to do this. I'll try to make a build, but cannot guarantee I'll successed

What is the difference between official and unofficial as they are working the same.

Official is when TWRP acknowledged it as trusty
i.e.: an Official build is updated every week, month, and is always upgraded to the next level of android, or not. (Redmi 3 still has 5.1 TWRP official, but no 6.0)
Unofficial is when it wasn't acknowledged, so a developer/user built it from scratch, and it gets only updated once, or twice, It depends on the user/developer itself.
Once I get my 3S finally (possibly after 2 weeks), I'll try to make a bugless TWRP
The TWRP we are using is basically a port (I couldn't find anywhere else the sources for Redmi 3S TWRP)

Given by how Kenzo is similar to Land, I have made a semi-working TWRP tree
https://github.com/Kizoky/android_device_xiaomi_land
It needs a pre-built kernel, which is obviously based on Stock or CM (Stock would be the best)
https://github.com/Kizoky/android_device_xiaomi_land/blob/android-6.0/BoardConfig.mk
It is lined out here.
Also, If some of you found some bugs within this tree just let me know
I won't make it as a seperate thread unless It is fully functional

Yey, thank you @Kizoky

BigBrains OS - I was not allowed to post inn development section

DISCONTINUED
Hi Kenzoers,
I have a great pleasure in introducing a new Android OS to the world which is based on Lineage OS Source code and I thank Lineage team very much for the device tree, kernel and ofcourse the total Source code of it. We are starting rolling out this ROM only for Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo) - The SnapDragon Version as of now and soon it'll reach other popular devices as well. This ROM is named as BigBrains OS as this rom is build by BigBrains (That's us - Prast and Me. Well i'm Uvneshkumar and Prasat is my friend). Is this yet another ROM which has the features of almost any other custom ROMs? The answer is both yes and no. This ROM is almost nearly the same as that of the Lineage OS, but it has something apart from that. Well what's that? Have you ever thought of modifying something in android which you almost don't like? Or add an extra feature which you'ld love to have? May be most of you would've done the both. But how many of you have tried to implement that? Again ofcourse, many of you might have tried that also, but most of you might've failed and stopped working. Or some of you may not have enough resources to build a ROM. So why am I saying all this to you? Well, BigBrains OS is the solution to that. Sounds cool right. How? We've decided to develop BigBrains OS with the base source of Lineage OS and the idea of BigBrains OS's users. We code what you say into BigBrains OS and that'll reflect in the next update. And ofcourse this only happens if there is a good support for any new features.
We've added our own app into this ROM - BigBrains Touch - through which you can update your rom, and give us suggestions or even have funny chat with us. You'll have to check for updates manually and you will not be notified for any new update. We'll resolve this in the next update.
So why we've started this ROM? Well, it's a proven fact that "Unity is Strength". We may have some ideas which you don't like and if we add that into our ROM, you'll simply change the ROM. Right? Yes. So instead, all our users unitedly give us ideas, and you'll enjoy that in your next version. Isn't that COOL? Yes. So what are you waiting for? Give this ROM a try and give us your suggestions in BigBrains Touch app, so that we could improve ourselves.
You can find the ROM in this link. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=178249. So that's it guys. If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to message us here or mail us at [email protected] or [email protected]. We'll be eagerly waiting for your messages.
Stay tuned and help us get tuned.
Thank you all.

Never compare Roms or ask for ETAs. Devs do put in a lot of hardwork.
However corvus for the Xiaomi phones are actually a beast by unlocking the max potential. However, to what degree they're good enough for the longevity of the device is a question.
However, you can try a lot of other roms here. I guess, if not gaming specific, you could unlock a lot of potential by using them with a modified kernel?

Hello Deepankar!

I respect each and everyone dev, and I'll take my word "best" back and replace it with "better" ?
Nevermind, currently I'm rocking the OnePlus 7 Open Beta 16 port on my 6T, I just want a custom kernel
Can you suggest any?
I tried flashing the Radioactive Kernel , it said Unsupported device, so do I have to flash a kernel for Op7 now?

Well before flashing any kernel, you should always consult the dev of the ROM whether or not it supports any kernel altogether.
At times, to avoid any hassle, OS performance or any other brick related issues, devs generally do not support custom kernels and their bug reports.
It's all a gamble while flashing kernels on ported roms!

You could pitch in and help them bringing it to us? Atleast by flashing their builds, as it is Oneplus has merged 6 and 6Ts development.
