I have read a lot of guides on porting roms and now i knw that we can port rom to any device using stock rom for that device and tha rom we want to port bt they need to be of same version
Means base rom and port rom should have same android version
My question is how newer roms like kitkat (cyanogenmod, etc) are available for older devices like Galaxy S2? As per as i know Samsung didn't provide kitkat for GS2 so there is no base rom for porting kitkat to GS2 So how they did it?
Can you tell me how to do such cross version porting?
this method works very fine and could u please tell me how to mod status bars easily...i always get staus bar force closed

Cooking for Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910W8
Hello All,
Thanks for the great job done and for keeping this thread alive. I have gone through all the important posts, and before I will start doing anything on my phone, I would like anybody who has the knowledge to clear me on specific topics that were not exclusively discussed:
I have Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910W8. I am with Rogers Wireless Canada and my device is unlocked.
One of the things that annoys users of Samsung phones is the delays of firmware updates and upgrades. If you remember, T-Mobile did not get Lollipop before the end of April 2015. One possible solution to this kind of delays is for every individual to become knowledgeable on how to “cook” his or her own custom ROM.
1. I would like to use the official firmware as my base Rom to add or remove programs before flashing it on my phone.
2. Rooting is not yet an option; If I root my device, I can no longer get OTA updates. Without rooting, how can I modify the stock Rom (before flashing) in order to de-brand it and install generic CSC codes so that I can get updates directly from Samsung?
3. Can I use an International official firmware or any Canadian stock firmware, cook it (make changes with e.g. Android Kitchen), then flash it, so that I can receive updates from Samsung directly through any country as soon as upgrade wave begins? This means making my Cell Phone software region unlock.
4. My current Rogers Lollipop only has English, French, Korean and one more Asian language. None of all the Canadian cell phones that I had in the past has Spanish and European languages pre-loaded, which annoys me always. I know that all languages can be activated by customizing the stock software without installing a third party software to do the job. Can anybody tell me how best to do this?
5. I do not know the reason why Rogers removed the Data Toggle button from the Notification Panel. To make people spend money on data? For me, it is an easy access that makes me save money whenever I do not need to use Rogers’ data. I want it back and I know that it can be reactivated by customizing the software before flashing. Can someone tell me how to do that?
6. I understood that so long as I continue to flash my device with stock (factory) “Recovery.img”, my KNOX Warranty will not be tripped (void). But can this stock “Recovery.img” be customized without voiding the KNOX warranty?
I appreciate all your attention drawn unto this.
Sunny.

Hello Android Dev Community! Respected Senior members, developers, moderators and themers of XDA. I am a newbie and my name is Soham. I use an android device whose name is Karbonn A27 Retina. From the time this device has been manufactured, no custom recovery no custom ROM nothing has been developed for this device. I plead for help from senior members to build a custom recovery for my device. If anyone is willing to help me kindly send me a private message. I am already equipped with the stock ROM of this device so I can send all the required files needed for further development of this device. I have even created a group and a thread dedicated for this device. Link to the thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/karbonn-a27-retina-android-development-t3071533
Thanking you all in anticipation.
Regards,
Soham.
Hello devs.
It's my request to you that besides the awesome custom roms you guys are working on please accept the request and make a deodexed oxygen os available to us at your leisure.
First, this is not a ROM request forum. Second, it's generally considered rude to ask a developer to make a ROM. Developers for the most part do this as a hobby, in their free time with no compensation outside of any donations they may receive. You are welcome to start reading and researching how to build your own Android ROM.*
Please do not make further posts of this nature.*

Misspelling what ?
If you talk about settings and general language of the ROM , you can create a Crowdin Account and correct yourself the language :
https://crowdin.com
As far as I know most of the ROMs have a Credit:
E.G with Lineage OS crowding :
https://crowdin.com/project/lineageos
You may find the ROM by searching on the crowdin website himself or , in the original thread of your ROM
Or you can tell me what's the ROM's name and I'll find you the link.
And also , for the 150$ , I personally don't accept money , since this website is based on the "free shared knowledge", but thanks anyway :good:
This money would be better in a homeless guy's hand :highfive:
If you want more info or guidance or info , ask me directly from this thread by quoting me , I will get a notification (because I personally don't have and use Skype)
