Hi there, I always liked aosp/aokp builds, but I never kept them.
I run on samsung based roms.
so there is the question:
customization over features?
only in samsung rom we have the best FM radio, camera, MHL and others
which cannot run on aosp.
can't we mix the frameworks to have the best of 2 worlds?
can we hack samsung apps to run on aosp?
There is no way to get these features working on AOSP/AOKP. But if you use a ROM that is based on Sammys software, you will get these features, plus some tweaks and modifications that give it more speed/better battery/more customisation etc.
firstly, there is a mixed-framework rom afterall. :good:
second:
WHO copies OUR posts and re publishes them with different names in other sites?

Hi Guys,
I've been working in IT a while using logmeinrescue to support my clients. They have a mobile addon which allows me to remotely control a device, i can see the screen, swipe around (laggily) and anything else that i could do if i was physically at the phone. Fantastic for supproting a growing number of BYO devices.
However in the optimisation of roms, people have pulled out whatever service/software component allows you to do this. I'm wondering if someone knows if this is something that could be packaged up and submitted separately?
The play store app that initiates the permissions to allow this remote support and interaction is called "Rescue + Mobile for Android" and i've successfully used it to remote control a stock Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300. However i can't do the same on mine, i'm limited to just pushing wifi settings or opening a website for users.
So the question directly is: Can someone more knowledgeable package the missing component to allow remote control? What would be required?
Hi I'm trying to decide which custom ROM to use to get off Google's grid on my smartphone.
I wonder which and how custom Android ROMs are better able to deliver privacy? To better evaluate that, I guess you need to seperate exactly which Google services monitor details on a typical ROM. Also, which of those services, if any, are used in popular custom ROMs like Cyanogen, anything AOSP /K/ MIUI etc. To prevent over-analysis, the bottom line is about finding a custom ROM that uses as few Google services as possible.
Do any of the above custom ROMs use more or fewer Google services? Is there is still a base of Google services which report back to Google regardless of it being custom? Is there any ROM built from the ground up (of Android open source)?
I hope this thread can find like-minded, respectful people and no critics, trolls, *****ness or 'noob' talk.

I am in exactly the same boat. I'm beginning my search on how to do this with my Nexus 7. That's how I got here. I am a noob and I did watch the "Noob Video". Hilarious! Any info I can find, I will post back here.
Hi everyone,
So the company that provides the TV channels in my country (like the cable companies in the US) has a streaming service that streams most of these channels online to phones, tablets, computers.
The problem is that their app is, according to them "not supported on hacked devices". Just so we're clear, we're talking about Android here, and hacked = root/custom rom, which this stupid company considers illegal. In some devices, they check both root and custom rom, in some only one of them, and in some the app will work even if you have both. For example, on my Nexus 4 the app worked with stock rom that was rooted. Now that I am running a custom rom, trying to hide root using various apps does not work. So obviously the problem, with my device at least, is running the custom rom.
I'm currently learning Java & Android development and have decided to use the little knowledge that I have to try to find the lines of code responsible for this idiotic check.
I looked up many tools for decompiling apps and have finally found a good one, called JadX.
http://androidcracking.blogspot.co.il/2014/03/jadx-dex-to-java-decompiler.html#links
This decompiler is excellent, but gives me a scary amount of code files to look. Even so, trying to search all of them (JadX has that functionality) for the code that checks for root/custom rom has turned up nothing. I have also tried to search for the message they give me when I open the app (about hacked devices not working) but I found nothing, again.
One more thing - a developer that also tried to solve this problem said he traced the problem back to DxDrmDlcCore. I searched it, found it a some class, but not sure what to do now (delete the entire class and recompile?)
Can someone here direct me towards what I need to be looking for?
OR
Is the solution really simple, such as editing my build.prop? Someone suggested it once, but did not know what lines to edit.
If someone is ready to step up to the challenge, I can upload the apk.
Thank you!
Whilst I understand that there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to software development, and that the cost ultimately comes down to the scope of the project. It would however be nice to figure out as to how much it normally costs for a fully customised version of Android OS that can be used professionally. This customised ROM of Android would then need to be flashed to a device.
I understand that I have a choice of either reusing an existing ROM, or starting with AOSP. In both cases, I would need to customise that, and then package it along with the OEM vendor's kernel and drivers.
I know that there will be a lot of work involved, and also understand that I need to get a professional onboard. I don't however know / understand as to how much something like this will cost.
The plan would be to create a ROM that would be fairly similar to how the firmware on the Switch operates. In this way, the ROM must have the following features:
be devoid of all bloatware so as to increase performance of the hardware and to also allow apps to load and run faster.
tangentially... the ROM must "feel" native to the device, and allow developers to maximise performance of the device by creating and running apps that run as if they've been "written to the metal".
has a variation of the Google Play Store from which apps can be bought and downloaded from.
ROM is linked to host website.
has DRM and copy-protection features implemented where the OS checks for the authenticity of the device it's running on, and the authenticity of the app where only apps sold via the store will be able to run on the customised ROM of the Android OS. This would also probably mean that the apps would need to be authenticated by the server on a regular basis, otherwise there would be an online ban.
allows for Android apps and exports from gaming engines such as Unity, GameMaker, Unreal to be made available and to run on the device - with DRM / Copy Protection features.
development of all necessary API.
not allow the device to be easily hackable / rooted, or even be customisable by casual users.
acts as a launcher for (gaming) apps, and minimises / stops all other processes from running in the background.
I just don't know how much something like the above would cost...
How many hours would it take to create a ROM based on the above specification, and assuming that the developer charged $30 per hour, what sort of budget should I be looking at?
A stock ROM is the adaptation of the telephone's working framework that accompanies your telephone when you get it.
A custom ROM is a completely independent adaptation of the OS, including the piece (which makes everything run), applications, administrations, and so on - all you require to work the gadget, with the exception of it's redone by somebody here and there.
So what does the "altered" part mean? Since Android is open source, engineers are allowed to take stock ROMs, adjust them, strip them of trash, streamline them, add things, and essentially do whatever their creative mind and abilities permit.
