Seems obsoletism is occurring faster & faster.
upon release Feb 14 I upgraded to the galaxy s 5, now regret that move, at&t won't allow custom Rom! It's been getting glitchy, no clean up?! That's why I bought the dam thing... So last week I said f it. I bought the flagship iPhone, 6s plus 64... And again I'm regretting it's typical non functionality . Dam! oh well at least I look cool, right?. I hate the bloat of the quickly outdated Androids, they need to be replaced sooner & sooner.
Anyone tell me if custom Rom Is the way to go, on which device? I'm thinking about ditching my new iPhone 6s plus, but just learned that the nexus 6p has a fuse denying custom Rom to be ran. ? boo!
Another quick question, is there a particular forum that I might be interested in reading?
What does this have to do with the custom ROM called Paranoid Android?

I've been reading up once again, so paranoid android is custom Rom? Is it meant for any particular device, or anything goes? (Ask except for the galaxy s5 on the at&t network I presume)
Who is using paranoid android on which device and which is it working the best?
Oh, to clarify, I'm looking for a new & best device so far that I can use I the at&t network. I'm now on this new iPhone and I'm having a hard time navigating to find some good reads on relevant information. Which is the best device? And what is paranoid droid, open source for a community of developers?

Paranoid Android officially only supports nexus devices.
A custom ROM has to be developed specifically for a device, there isn't a universal ROM that you can download to just any device. You need a build made specifically for your device.
If you want advice about a particular device, you need to go to that devices forum section.
If you want advice about general Android usage, visit the general Android forum section.
This forum section is dedicated to the Paranoid Android project.

Are you saying that you don't know of an existing forum discussing good better best devices & builds?
In addition, I'm real impresses with galaxy s5 hardware , great camera, processor, expandable memory, good com', terrible that there doesn't seem to be a successful build Fite it on the at&t network

XDA has how many users across how many forum sections?
I have no idea what's out there. Nonetheless, this discussion doesn't belong in this forum section.

I really like the MIUI interface, but the phones i owned always has some minor flaws.
For example the HD2 had volume setting problems, and now the Atrix still has some bugs as well...
So I am wondering, whats the best choice if you want to run MIUI? The Xiaomi phone seems cool, but i dont think its available in my country.
So... thoughts welcome! thanks!

... that's kinda tricky question.
Since you are not using a "stock/official" rom in your phone, it will likely show some bugs due not to be specifically designed for your phone as the manufacturer's one is.
Choosing a ROM/Phone combination is more or less a "trial/error" game.
MIUI official roms are good, but you should try the many customized versions available that most of the time includes fixes and mods for specific phones. Here on XDA you have the advantage of a more close communication with developers and the chance to get bugs/issues (or even on-demand features) quickly addressed.
As for your initial, question... i suggest going first for the "officially" supported phones on MIUI
(from MIUI main site)
Nexus One (N1)
HTC Desire (G7)
MOTO Milestone (MS)
HTC HD2
Desire HD
MIUI ROM For Nexus S
HTC Desire Z
Hope it helps on your choice
Have fun

I am looking to start developing android applications this summer and need some advice. I'm good at java programming and have a couple of ideas I'd like to make into a reality. I've aquired several books that I will begin reading but I need advice as to which device I should get that I can test my applications on while still getting a device that would be good for personal use (gaming, web browsing, etc). I also don't want to spend much either ($200 is ideal).
Im not too informed when it comes to the Android SDK (which the android development should help me out with). I'm not familiar with "roms" and things of that nature, nor do I know what the differences in honeycomb, gingerbread cynogen, and all these other things are. I'm not sure if any of this matters for android development, but which device (preferably tablet) would be good to experiment on that has a fast processor and lots of ram (maybe a GB), and won't cost me a fortune?
Also, is there a huge difference in developing an app for a tablet and a phone?
Which is better to experiment on?
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (the first one) and am not sure if it's the best device to work with as far as development goes (because I have it running on Android 2.2)
I've read around a bit and so far have my eyes set on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (im eyeing one for 185$ online atm). I just need someone to basically point me in the right direction as far as choosing the right tablet and where to really start with android development.
Nexus phones are the best phones for development.

Moving to Q&A
developers phone
i guess for the price range.You definately can get a nexus one.great phone for developing.
I completely agree. Nexus Phones are the best choice.
Guys, I'm working on developing an AOSP ROM. I need your help in choosing a phone I can use for the testing. I was thinking of starting with a cheap Samsung Galaxy series phone since they have dual bootloaders (boot.bin and sbl.bin). Better safe than sorry, right? My work partner suggested we start off with a Vanilla Android phone, like an old LG. Can you guys recommend me one to proceed with? Is there a phone out there with Vanilla Google Android and possibly two bootloaders ?
Anyone?
c'mon guys !!
Most developers like the Nexus series phones since they are easy to unlock the bootloader and have a lot of other devs.
Thank you for replying But is the Samsung Galaxy series the only one in the Android universe with dual bootloaders?
Also, what phones run on Vanilla Android other than the Google Nexus series? I take it the old LGs do? If so, which ones?
Someone, please respond...
bump!
Someone please provide some input on this..
I REALLY gotta know this at the earliest so I can acquire the phone. Someone, please help out !!
not sure if this helps but the pantech burst is getting the ICS update shortly (they have it ready just having server issues trying to get it out today) its a cheep but badass att lte phone
I don't live in the USA. I need something available internationally. Also, it needs Vanilla Android. Is Google Nexus my only chance?

If your serious about development and testing pure vanilla Android is the way to go and the Google's Nexus line of phones and tablet it the way to go. You can easily compile AOSP for these devices, easily unlock the bootloader and root to flash custom ROM's. Also kernel sources are easily available, along with other great resources that will allow you to learn a lot about development.

That's EXACTLY what I needed to hear! Thank you so much for your time! Considering I'll start with JB, is it necessary to acquire the latest Nexus available, or will any older variant do?

I wouldn't go any lower then the nexus s, since that's the oldest pure Google device that officially supports compiling AOSP JB from source. Personally I'd pick up the galaxy nexus if you want something right now. If you can wait until around November (November 5th) it's rumored Google is launching several (Supposedly five new nexus devices) new nexus devices to celebrate androids 5th birthday :thumbup:

Good to know Guess I'll be picking up the Galaxy Nexus then!
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is already out on the Galaxy Nexus, but other phone are still waiting for manufacturers to do the work and update their handsets to the newest version of Android. What’s worse is that some handset will never officially get updated to Jelly Bean.
If you want to change that, you should be on XDA Developers where all the development happens and now the Samsung Galaxy Ace and Gio, some of the most affordable low-end Androids, got the CyanogenMod 10 ports.
CyanogenMod 10 is the Jelly Bean based version of the custom ROM. If you want to flash it, just check out the links below where you’ll find all the detailed information you need.
Interestingly, the Ace and Gio were never included in Samsung’s plans for the update to even ICS as they run on a pretty dated ARMv6 processors. Now, a very important disclaimer is that those ports are not yet final - they are alpha versions that are still not ready for prime time. You can get on and help the developer and also get a taste of what’s to come with them though.
What's the point of this? Posting an ad for XDA forums on XDA forums kinda defeats the purpose, no?

WE KNOW IT!!... so Where is your NEXUS 4 ROM for Galaxy Ace?

Thread closed.
Is there a ported ROM available for the Nexus 5 from the Goophone i5s or i6? I looked at these and I'd actually like to try them out to see how smooth they'd run on a more powerful phone. Either that or an equal iOS mimic ROM would be nice if there's one already released. Sorry if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find anything.
no.
in general, roms that are ported from one phone to another, do not run smooth and are buggy, thus the nature of a port. anyways, why would someone want to go in reverse, go from the latest available backward to something worse? and there arent any ios mimic roms for the nexus 5, its kinda funny that you even asked, as many people buy nexus devices to get as far away from ios as possible. your closest choice would be a miui rom, but thats not the same either,
You're not going to find a 'iOS mimic' ROM. And it will NOT run smoother if we had it available.
iOS runs the way it does so smoothly on their devices because the software is optimized to best match the hardware. Android has vary different hardware and uses native code way different than ios so you'd get either one of two things. A really really buggy laggy iOS ROM or an ok performing (and this would be with the 805 SOCs or anything newer and better) iOS ROM.
miui is your closest bet or use different launchers with some xposed modules along with these to make your device somewhat look like an idevice.

What he said about MIUI. iOS is a closed source operating system, its pretty much impossible to port iOS over to a Android device and then they'd have to work on getting the App Store etc etc all that working. It most likely won't happen and if it does, I'm sure Apple would send a cease and desist.
What I suggest the OP to do if you really must do that, download a ROM with CM Theme Manager and use this theme alongside Xposed modules http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631573

Hi, there is no ported ROM currently for such devices as of this month, as the the Stock ROM has only been released recently. But I do have link where to download the Goophone I6 Stock ROM. From there, I think you'll have to work on porting it yourself.

I have actually done research and this is actually possible, provided only that you know how to extract it's recovery IMG and Kernel. Take note that you'll have to be aware of the MTK platform of your device, as there are a lot of iPhone 6 clones out there running on different platforms.
Anyways, if you are interested in creating a custom mod recovery for this device, I have a link that just might help you:

Punch the Thanks Button if i helped!
Yes there is
Please click here to go and download the Stock software for both goophone i6 versions (plastic and metal)
Why would anyone want a port like this, especially with lollipop arriving? Take discussions to goophones to the proper forums, we need no goo here.
This is a nexus forum for nexus people. We'll have no goophone here.
You need to be British to get that reference.
We can close this thread now. I think either my understanding of what a Goophone is or what I wanted was wrong, but either way I think MIUI would be my best bet if I wanted an interface similar to iOS to switch things up for a while. That's all I was really asking for. Thanks guys.
