While everyone plays around in Android world,
I thought: why not go outside it and build something not so ordinary?
I've already tagged most capable developers to this project, so if you're willing to help. let me know.
Some of these unusual OSes might never work, but we could try, at least.
No announcements, no release dates. Just for playing around. For now.

Okay.
First off, Firefox OS is coming in the game.
I've already gathered neccessary sources, so next step is to make appropriate device tree.
Since Firefox OS uses Android kernel, it wouldn't be much of a problem, I think.
The whole major work will begin upcoming weekend. Stay tuned.

Sailfish OS will be on hold. It requires Cyanogenmod 10.1 as a bare minimum. Stock ROM won't cut it.
Okay... Firefox OS... Bad news... We need completely stock AOSP ROM in order for Firefox OS to work.
I started compiling and porting it and now everything's on hold. We have to hope that Cristi succeeds with his work eventually.
All of these OSes are similar to Android (uses same kernel, uses same drivers, work literally the same) but with current Jelly Bean, I can't do pretty much anything.
I will port those OSes. You can trust me, but without time, I'm powerless.

Ubuntu touch?
So Ubuntu should be easy too, as it is similliar to CM when it comes to building and porting from what i heard. I am completely noob to porting mobile OSes, but i will be trying to port it, maybe i will make something useful (I know I sound too optimistic)
Sorry for bad english
Is the ROM build completed?(Not asking for an ETA)
But Thanks for the rom.

I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself
Hello there guys,
As we all know we only have 3? 4? developers for the HOX+ . And they are really doing all they can to help keep the phone upto date.
But as we all know they are all busy and can't update their roms that much any longer.
EDIT: Lloir already has a guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187266 but I don't think he covers how to fix camera and gps and stuff
So! Is it possible to make guide on how to compile the rom from the source? I know tombridden and lloir already made a one post guide on how to build some roms but it was too specific.
I now have an extra machine (a laptop) with 500gb free storage and ubuntu as the main OS. It's quite powerful too with 6gb RAM and i7. So Why not use it to help the community while others are busy? In the meantime I will look around for some guides for other phones but I don't think they will help that much.
And please include the answers to those questions if you make a guide:
1- What to do to fix camera/GPS/wifi/Data/sensors ?
2- What approach should I take when compiling a new ROM. For example: there are no developers for PACMAN , how will it differ during compiling between it and AOKP/CM/AOSP .
I am talking about a rom that wasn't approached by Lloir so he won't have the repos for them. What to do then?
Thanks a lot and I can't wait to help
@Lloir @tombriden @PippoX3 @mike1986. and any other developer out there.
you can start by looking at XDA-University
The reply is correct. All of us moved first steps studying at XDA University.
Anyway the case is more complex than others.
For this device there are really few developers. Other device have a lot of support from constructors, many dev and the team-work result in a lot of kernels/roms to flash for the final user.
If you wanna taste the happyness for build a rom, I'll send you a guide to setup your ubuntu, download the sources and build.
But in this case, where enrc2b is not officially support, the things are more difficult.
You must have a minimal practical with java, cpp, android and kernel code (if so).
For the moment I'm in trouble to build an AOKP 4.2.2 with new kernel. I haven't device to try, 'cause the hard is build&&try continuosly.
Not the fact to have a pc turned on for hours and hours.... and the eyes&&mind open for hours and hours... but the patience to continuously try time after time.
Now I am in a dead point... many users like have S2W enable on new CM kernel... but.... the kernel won't!
Thanks a lot anyway. Thanks to @Lloir, @tombriden, @maxwen and alls who's workin' for this device.
Stay tuned....

That's what i did already. I set up the periphals/kernel/device info GITs and now i am looking for the roms, I found CM and stuff but I can't find PURE AOSP , does that mean i must download it and upload it?
I also have Oracle java installed. Do I have to have open JDK?

Now that we begin to have a solid CM base, will possible to build at least CM for enrc2b for noobs too.
And eventually "port" device/kernel" parts to others platforms. So who like e.g. PA can do...
If you agree, I can paste my personal appoints to a guide, from client setup (Sun java don't works) to the build zip rom.
Updated and corrected to last KK.

I would gladly help with testing! That's the only thing I know how to do around development It's always nice to see development on X10.
Will you be working on a 3.x kernel? Because without it all the work is pointless for such a big and ambicious project! As the 2.6.x kernel is SERIOUSLY out of date.

i agree that a 3.x kernel would be really useful , but it can be a different project . it needs time ( much time ) , and it is not that easy to make a new kernel and port correctly all the drivers ...

you say that you have a base , is it built from source or it is based on other rom ?
is there any source code ? i've only seen kernel and rom on fera's github , but i think that rom is not for this project
Missed that part!
I completely agree with you, porting a kernel is very vary hard work and takes different programming knowledge than working on a ROM. Why I'm saying this about 3.x kernel, As it's stated in the beginning of the OP this ROM will be made first for X10 (as both contributors are active for X10 - used both of there ROMs and both are great ) and then for other phones too. I perceive the goal will be newer phones? And all of those use 3.x kernel.
On another note, Tof37 made a 3.0.8 kernel for X10. It boots but there are still many many problems. The thread on that kernel has been dead for over a month, so I suppose the development has stopped. But it could be a great point to start from!
Here, go through this and this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608856
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666426
Basically what I am saying is that time invested in making a 3.x kernel is a good investment.
This is a big and ambitious project and I support you guys all the way! Please be persistent with this, one day you might be as big as MIUI and CM!

Development is not stopped ... I'm just getting stuck with wifi and BT problems with this kernel ...
@Buda1996 and @FeraVolt
Feel free to use my sources for 3.0.8 kernel
I wish I could help with this project but I don't have much time those days.

Let show to the world that an old device can work long due to a community of developers. I guess we need a new kernel.
Thanks Tof37, those are great news good luck with your work!
hi buda1996 & feravolt, any development in your Black OS project?
With cooperation with LG K10 team I have done a LOS 14.1 build for LG Spirit 4G LTE.
What works:
- LCD
- Touch
- Sound
- RIL (calling, texting, mobile data)
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth (for data transfer)
- Camera
- NFC
Known bugs:
- Bluetooth headsets could have issues
REQUIREMENTS:
- Unlocked bootloader (see PVineeth97 instructions)
- TWRP
- v20b stock from where you will move to LOS
HOW TO INSTALL:
Please follow guide posted here
I can not promise fast development as Spirit is my primary phone and internet connection source.
Big thanks to friends from K10 team

He is working on it. There are major bugs in it. He will update it as soon as he make any further progress. Also it's his daily driver so don't expect any quick fixes.
Keep it up man, would help me make this phone usable for me. Im using it as i recently broke my other phone, but its unbearably slow on the stock marshmallow. Keep up the good work
Update ?
Yo, @pcfighter can you give us a update on rom ?
It's Easter so let the guy chill!
What I've noticed is that a lot of people in this forum are completely indifferent to the fact that the devs are just people, not companies. They have personal lifes and issues to deal with, not to mention that dev work is not that easy. If everyone could feel less entitled to get stuff for free and be just a bit more patient, that would be greaaat.

Deyum! You basically took it to the next level. Been ranting about this for a while now but ppl seem not to give a deyum about those who contribute value to our phones. Phones, which are often poorly configured from the manufacturer. If twasn't for several of the threads here, the Spirit would basically be junk.

Here I will post LineageOS 14.1 ROM when I done fixing critical bugs.
What works:
- booting to Lineage (but not always)
- LCD

Not working:
- Battery status (phone shuts down when I disconnect the cable)
- Anything else
How it looks on spirit? Like this
For now I was able to boot twice. Root is required. Baseband from LS775 will be required to fix modem crash, obviously @Fobos531 TWRP also is required (for flash zip and baseband image). I can not promise fast development as Spirit is my primary phone and internet connection source.

^ - Read the README. I highly recommend getting a Linux (Ubuntu) install running. You need 20 - 50 GB of free disk space. Also you need A LOT of patience. Download Lineage source code and the local manifest as the readme instructs you. Then build Lineage and try flashing it. Take a look at this (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h815/build) for further instructions in the building process. Once you get it to boot, use adb logcat to get logs which may help you debug errors and fix all the issues in the ROM. Join #lineageos-dev on freenode IRC if you have further questions. People there willl be able to help you.

Now you need to download the device, kernel and vendor sources.
All the blah blah about "as is", you being responsible for what you choose to do and do to your device, no guarantees implied nor stated... And all the usual to install. I wont be paying much attention to bugs, however, PLEASE post them as you find them to let others know what they can expect.
This build is a ONE-OFF and you should look at the original thread by @Krizthian for possible future builds. https://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-crdroid-v4-0-google-nexus-5-t3767591

Of course, thanks to the crDroid team for providing the ROM source itself; and making it so easy to build using LineageOS device trees.:good:
Changes from the default source:
Code:
[FONT="Verdana"] Added the MiXplorer [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691[/url]
I got the OK first too include in my unofficial ROMs that I build, visit the forum, they are very helpful for this VERY powerful file explorer. [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523691[/url]
You can thank @HootanParsa for building it, and letting me include it:good: Be sure to share some thanks.
Switched over to the ResurrectionRemox launcher. I had issues with the default launcher in crDroid. Also on another device, and I think I have read some other users had the same on even more devices.
Vinyl Music Player and removed crDroid music.
It has more features but is based off the same original app in crDroid. Including a dark theme!
Just to be polite I checked with the dev to get his ok, even though its open source. It can also be fund on F-Droid
OmniClock replaces the standard deskclock. Sourced from OmniROM, so a big thanks to them. It has a nicer dark skinn also.

I wouldnt be too grateful, it was a one-off build of a secondary/spare device I have. While I await updates to my daily devices' kernel and device tree

Oreo for RAZR M perhaps?
That'd be quite the display if you could get that to work, assuming that is still your daily device. I have an N5 spare as well, but the WiFi chip broke : (
4.4 is working like a champ here. Many thanks. Tried to install ElementalX 9.02 but it wouldn't take. Will investigate further soon.

Cast your mind back. My Razr is dead! Upgrading the kernel (and the device tree) is a big task. We were very lucky for Nougat, as the XT897 was pretty damn close and it had an official LOS build. ie the device tree and kernel were basically ready to kang. As far as I know, there is no official Oreo for the xt897 and therefore, unless you spend the time and effort, there is no Oreo for the xt907/xt905/xt926 etc etc.
For now I use and build for an GT-i9506 as my daily, and I also have an N5 as a "spare", which is half dead (mic is flakey which makes a phonee useless). I build for the N5 as "practice" for the S4, and I shared the results here, as I saw the current builds were quite old; [sarcasm]and I'm such a nice guy[/sarcasm]
