one rom... - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Is there a reason why this phone after having all the source material released to us we only have 1 rom? Before all that was released we had so many people super excited to get started on porting roms, saying the only reason we don't have anything is because essential hasn't released the source yet. Well it's been months now and only 1 rom has come out and I think 1 kernel. Did all those people talking about porting end up selling their phone and moving on or am I missing something.

If you join the discord for three phone there are more roms there. I believe a Resurrection rom is there and a few others.

Development is picking up faster then you think, it takes a while for devs to get everything all worked out, especially since this device has a/b partitions, and as with any device there are roadblocks, but worry not, there are more then a few devs working very hard to bring this device into the realm of custom ROMs for all you flashaholics. Patience is the key! ?

I second Resurrection Remix. It's running flawless on my PH-one. Touch screen lag is soooo much better than stock, stock camera app still works, and full screen apps work. Same features as Lineage, but a lot more customization.

@hellot1M
Lineage has 2 roms on here and is even up to 8.1 and there are plenty on the aforementioned discord there you can find RR, Xenon, PA, Uber, and AOSiP.
There is also github where you can build yourself and share, but it looks like discord is the best place to look atm.

I remember when all ROMs were on XDA. I checked out Discord but it's so confusing to find what you're looking for and see reports of bugs

It's really quite easy to find the ROMs (and other files / links.) in Discord, similar to XDA there is a search button, from there on Discord will ask what your looking for (links, usernames, files, etc.) So typing "has:link rr" will show RR links, "has:link twrp" shows TWRP links.
As for bug reports you can just ask the people in Discord that are running the ROMs you'd want to try. I'm currently on RR and it's very stable.

XDA used to be the best! I think the reason for the shift is because the amount of complaining and nagging for OTAs was just too much. Not to mention the amount of negativity here is insane...

Which ROM should I download?

Default Which ROM should I download?
I am currently running CyanogenMod 5.0.5.3 on my nexus one. However, I am eager to try something new. The reasons for switching are due to some stability issues with the ROM.
My checklist is quite small:
1) built in tethering
2) easy of use
3) very reliable and stable
Optional
2) would prefer support for Persian/Arabic font. however, it' is not essential
Any ideas?
you can try Enomther's latest release (1.9.2) released today; very stable with bunch of features; check out his changelog in the development section
If you want bunch of features, try Cyanogen's...
dont ask.....different ppl....diff opinions.... diff tastes.....try them....there are not many
Why not just wait for Froyo? Tethering out-of-the-box.

+1 agreed...
He's posting this across multiple boards trying to get answers... as I told him on another board:
Run over to XDA and read the posts on the ROM's out there and look at the feature lists.
You really should do the legwork yourself as other have.

The time spent to make an account and spam all these boards with this post could have been used to read the feature lists and decide on a ROM for himself.
As chowdarygm said, there are not many...
HI - well you have a decent amount of choice if you're using the nexus one. I tend to stick with roms from either @cyanogen or @kingklick92 i.e the CM rom or Desire Port respectively.
I made a blog post about it - have a read and maybe it will help with your decision.
Moving on from that there are a few enhancements you can apply to the ROM's, specifically you can 'undervolt' your ROM to save some power by moving across a new kernel.
I've tried loads of them to be honest - as earlier posters have said, the Nexus one development forum here at XDA is a great place to start, there is a stickie with a ROM list - a good start.
thanks, I appreciate it. I am still a newcomer.

New beta is based on CM 5.0.7, includes an OC/UV/21MB kernel, mods, optimisations and some great apps.
The best thing is that it installs in one hit, works together and is nice and quick.

Same here. The only mod I make to it is swapping out HelixLauncher or whatever it is for Launcher Pro, which seems to be much more stable.
I stick to the Cyanogen-based stuff because it's the standard, and also because I had a hell of a time dealing with those KingKx roms for my old G1. I was flashing and wiping so much my ass was raw, and Cyanogen roms are usually wipe-free.

Roms - too many?

There used to be a couple of rom choices for SP, they were very different, and it was easy to pick what you like, now it seems there are 57 varieties of each rom with subtle changes that most people don't notice.
Could everyone not work together instead of continually cooking up variants of stock or CM11?
Is it the lure of the thanks button and donations that make it happen?

Some CM's are for LBL and some are for UBL and now some UBL roms are catering for LBL support, also some CM's are a port of CM11s from the oneplusone and not stock CM11. Either way theres no harm in having more ROMs to choose from as long as you can find one thats supported and works for you.
Well at one point it was "too less roms"

i totally agree with you
developers should start working on stuff like MIUI and Liquid rom instead of just applying some tweaks and themes and calling it a custom rom
i think there are about 6 CMs, 10 stock roms which are all basically the same and all are good for LB or UB and are the same thing just changes in themes and whatnot

If you want MIUI then work on it, people will work on what they want to not necessarily what another person wants. as ive said the 6 CM versions are not all the same and wont work on all versions of the XPeria SP.

If he should keep his opinion to himself,you should do the same.I have been on these forums longer than you,so listen to me carefully.
If you want it simple,use cm11.It is minimalistic,no feature overdose,almost pure 4.4 AOSP.There are official nightlies for UBL,and weekly releases by MrSteve555.
if you want the 4.4 SONY rom,use RepeXpersiS,it is both for LBL and UBL.
If you are a pony lover,install AOKP.If you like paranoid character faces,install PA.If you want everything from CM,AOKP and PA in one package,install PAC.If you are a iPhone lover deep inside,use MIUI.
Every custom ROM has unique features,and by that I mean Mokee OS,Carbon ROM,Omni and etc.

But sure good luck getting this fully working, shouldn't be too hard.

AOSP ROM major bugs fixed.

I've seen the custom aosp roms for the G6. Great work Devs but one thing is surprising, Has nobody tried fixing the major bugs? Camera and microphone. Those are major parts of a ROM and the LG G6 IMO hasn't had a fix since every custom rom was released. I'm not a Dev so I don't know how it's done but I feel the devs can give answers to this.
Devs, work extremely hard, to give support away for free, when THEY HAVE TIME.
Oreo is next on deck, be patient, or don't yourself.
Try Dirty Unicorn, it does not have the issues you speak of on the US997.

As custom ROMs only came out a couple of months before Oreo and with Oreo now being out then they won't fix any Nougat issues. My guess is that Oreo ROMs will get these issues fixed.

K30 PRO kernel source released

https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/lmi-q-oss
Let the development start!
-----------------------------
Edit: new code dropped at https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/cas-q-oss
Great news good to see some development may start soon hopefully.
It's been available for a while, as you can see the most recent commit is in March. However, the source tree is not completed. It's one of the reasons for the lack of development.

As long as the kernel can boot the phone we can use it as a starting point, right? Also 3rd party ROM can use stock kernel extracted from MIUI.

That, along with some other reasons, is why till now there is no rom.
would there be someone who would be able to make a custom rom from the kernel
if there is a person who makes you i would be very grateful
is there a possibility that it looks as much like stock Android as possible?
because miui bug a lot
and it's an interface
user i don't like

Devs have lives too, and this is just the thing they do in their free time, so they work at their own pace. Not every devs want to report everything, nor do they have to.
Things will get released when they are ready. Rushing the devs will just increase the chance that they will abandon everything.

no you didn't understand I know that developing it takes time I am the developer of the craftdium.ml software if you know and I know very well that it takes time I wanted to know if I am making the custom rom my phone risks what?
Personally, I don't like MIUI, nor MIUI based Roms: eu, ROS, mix, etc.
I think it's worth to wait a while, even one month, for install a decent AOSP based ROM on this brilliant hardware. I made that on my Mi Max 3 and I am very happy now with the phone.
