HELP!! Need Developers.

HI, I was wondering if anyone wanted to add a new device to their Source or AOSP Developing. See, me and alot others have a device known as the Samsung Dart. It is a sister varient of the Samsung Galaxy Mini. The reason I'm asking for someone to compile roms for it is that it still runs android 2.3! The Samsung Galaxy Mini is running Android 4.2. It doesn't matter if you don't own the device! I'm a very good rom porter, so I'm just asking for a DEV Rom. Something to get progress started. I was wondering if anyone could help. I have the links to the source for the Dart. Im just asking for a ics or jellybean port.
If your interested here you go:

[Q] Any 4.4.2 Kitkat Touchwiz ROM ?

Ok,
I have been eagerly waiting for the 4.4.2 Kitkat official update due to the bugs or whatever the 4.3 has. But as we know, we may not get the update. So, for the first time I am looking for a custom ROM, as the title says, I need any 4.4 ROM with Touchwiz, I've searched this forum and also Googled, I found the S4 Revolution but its 4.3, so, if there's any 4.4 Touchwiz ROM I am not aware of. I will be glad if you tell me. If not then I'm going for the S4 Revolution. Thanks.
How can you expect a custom touchwiz kitkat rom when you know there is no official one nor will be??
Touchwiz is closed source so apps can be ported at best but not whole rom...
Sent from my GT-I9300
Oh is that so? Since the note 3 launchers were ported, I thought even the whole ROM might be ported too. Lack of knowledge about the ROMS, sorry and thanks .

[Q] Wizzed Lollipop

Hello, I always have new versions of Android on my S2, and with the lollipop update, samsung released new lollipop-based touchwiz. I love touchwiz from the 4.1 update, and the lollipop-based is awersome! Now I'm running WizzedKat rom, and I ask: is there any lollipop based rom with the new touchwiz for s2? THX!

Nope. It's too early for developers to make such rom. Porting touchwiz to lollipop takes effort and is probably hard to do with all of the recent additions to android. You probably need to wait a few more months until someone manages to get it working but right now it's too early to estimate.
well, is anyone working on a touchwiz lolipop rom for s2? i'd love to test i on my s2. great piece of hardware

Most Recommended Android Version for Galaxy S3?

Which Android version available for Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) (like Android 6.0, 7.0 etc) is
stable enough for a daily driver?
most feature-rich?
less buggy?
In your suggestions, also add which OFFICIAL Custom ROM you would prefer (unofficial ROMs are a bit buggy for me), with respect to the Android version (for example, for Android 7.0, which custom ROM you would choose) which also fulfills the above requirements.
Any suggestions and replies are welcome...
Hi! Have you tried something in the meantime?
