Hello.
We are looking for Android ROM Developers to customize our requirements on CyanogenMod or Lineage OS.
It'll be based on removing modular parts like SMS, File Management, Bluetooth and integrating of a few applications to it.
We need experienced people, interested people can reply with contact details via this topic or private message.

I migrated from SGS i9000 to a huawei G700 phone featuring a mtk6589 chipset.
Sadly, the android version limits the possibilities of the phone really hard: it's oriented towards users who play nicely with their phone, not towards me!
so, to keep a long story short, I'd like CM to be ported to this device. this is not a top-of-the-line product, so I'll certainly have to do it myself.
I already got the complete OS image, kernel properties, installed applications, and so on (boot.img, uboot.img, ...), locally installed here.
the question is: where to go from here? In your guides, I can follow what the developers explain to do and why they are doing it, but I got no idea how to convert this OS image into a CM image ...
Also, as there are apparently developers waiting for mtk6859 roms, should I send them a message asking for their help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375957
the only issue here is that I can't contact them yet because of the noob limit.
Hi,
I had a question about Custom Android ROM and hoping you will guys will guide me in the right direction. I am starting a company wherein we are building a new touch screen h/w device for the fitness industry. We want this device to run on Android. Naturally we want to hire android developers to build the system. (FYI - I am not a programmer, so please don't assume I know anything about programming/android). Here are some questions, I am hoping you can answer:
1. Since this is not an app, but a new h/w device itself, I am guessing I need to modify the Android ROM and customize it to our needs...am I correct in this assumption?
2. Is there particular android rom that I need to focus on ?
3. Do folks who know how to build an app, can do this rom customization or am I looking for folks with different skillset?
4. What kind of skillsets should I look for in people before I hire them for this job?
5. Any other points that you guys can help me with, will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
I work in the security and privacy field and would like to start development of a new lightweight ROM with strong security and privacy controls but to be honest I don't have a clue where to start. I am experienced in flashing ROMs onto Android devices (currently have CM on my Nexus 4 and Galaxy Tab 2 as well as Beanstalk on my old HTC Desire Bravo) but have not yet built a custom ROM.
Ideally I would like to build the lightest possible ROM for HTC Desire (as this is my device for experimenting) but there are a number of features/restrictions I would like to include.
I see a lot of ROMs on this site (which I am sure are very good) and some generic guides on how to build ROMs but I need some more specific information. I need to know how to build a kernel which disables access to certain things (such as regular voice calling - this ROM should only permit VOIP calls) - how to strip out all the apps and services I don't want or need, how to include the apps I want installed by default (such as droidwall) and I have yet to come across such a resource.
Ideally I would like to strip the ROM down to the bare minimum required to allow a functioning device with data connectivity and then build it back up with the functionality I need.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Hey guys, I was recently installing a new ROM and kernel on my Nexus 6 when I happened upon something interesting. Franco makes an AMAZING kernel for Nexus devices, and he has an awesome app called FKUpdater which checks his server for new updates to the kernel, provides the user with the changelog for that update, then allows the user to either a) download the zip file for the kernel, or b) download and auto-flash the kernel zip.
I thought this was especially smart because it works regardless of what ROM you're on, since we all know how difficult it can be to stay up to date on both the ROM and the kernel, not to mention any other mods that we like for your phones (thinking back to the pre-Lollipop mods like Xposed, etc).
So, what if there was a way to make a ROM OTA manager, which could check for new versions of your ROM using something as simple as an RSS feed that developers could reference using the build.prop.
Here's the way I imagine this working:
A ROM developer doesn't want to go through all of the unnecessary hassle and costs associated with implementing the OTA features (it's not as easy as it might sound), so instead the developer simply adds a line to the build.prop:
ro.customROMversion.rss=http://www.example.com/rss
This build.prop line would be universal for all ROMs, with the actual RSS link being associated with each specific ROM (so if a development team builds ROMs for multiple devices, they would have one feed per device).
Then the app would check the build.prop for that line, and regularly check the RSS feed for updates. The RSS feed would have a standardized format. It would include the necessary information for the app to detect a new version (version number, build date, etc) as well as including the changelog for the new version (if the ROM developer includes this).
In reality, this wouldn't be difficult at all, and the best part is that the feature could be added in a heartbeat to practically every ROM out there. The ONLY issue I could see running into would be that the download links for the ROMs would (potentially) need to be direct downloads, with no redirects. I don't know how important that would be to implementation, though.
Does anyone see this as being something particularly difficult to do? I would love to build/release this (I REALLY wish I could contribute more to the Android community at large), but I don't know how to program something like this. If anyone thinks they could do this, I would really love to help put this in motion!
Hello XDA!
I want to create a ROM which is aimed at those developers out there. It will be fast, have lots of Linux commands, and have a nice UI. It will also have a Package Manager that comes with it.
The reason i am asking for help is because I've never made a ROM before. I can code the apps for the ROM, the Linux commands, and some of the core Android code but i will need somebody else to do most of it.
The ROM will be for either KitKat or JellyBean, I'm not sure yet.
