Hello,greetings to all!
My name is Kostas,i am from Greece and i have a huge love feeling to Android OS.Being on android since 2010 with couple of devices (currently on Xiaomi RN5 whyred) i always remember my self experimenting with customs roms,kernels,apps etc.I have seen maaany roms out there with pretty exciting features,but as a very imaginative person i always have ideas that concern extra features,functions etc for android that i have never seen on phones generally.They concern all categories (notifications,lockscreen,graphics etc) To be honnest,latest years I don't see Something really innovative that could make people want to flash a custom rom cause of it's revolutionary features.Unfortunately cause of 0 knowledge on programming,all my thoughts are on the drawyer.I didnt even presented to some dev.So my thought is to help some dev with my ideas to develop a new revolutionary custom rom (Named perfect OS or something) and then other devs to share it to all android devices!Thanks in advance and i hope for some news soon!!

So i've done some research, but i'm really, really new to Android Rom's and Kernels. I'm not a developer. What i am is someone keen in understanding about Android.
If someone wanted to make a new device, say their own Galaxy, Nexus, LG G2 etc How much work would need to be put into the kernel for the new device and also the new Rom? This includes a Smart TV and a separate phone.
Would it be hard to hire a team to develop a custom Rom and Kernel for the new devices? or? I see MiUi has done quite well but they've had millions of dollars of investment and lots of employees and people along the way to help.
Also does it take a big team or could it be done with a small specialised team of individuals and designers?
Thanks Guys and be gentle if it's a stupid question.
BUMP
Hello!
Now, who am I, I am a dude who got sick of his android phone and decided to take the initiative!
Well, you see, many many Android users get sick of their phones, of the bloatware by the manufacturers and their user interface, we got tired of not getting the updates and falling back!
So what do we do, we root and probably install a Custom ROM, pretty good eh, android is about choice after all!
So, what happened..I tried doing the same, didn't get satisfaction from the ROMs available for my phone, and now I am stuck
As they say, if you want something done, do it yourself, which is why I decided to take upon myself the responsibility of making a Custom ROM for the user, I want to leave the source code out there, for everyone and anyone to tinker with it and port it to his phone, and I wanted to create the ROM the Android master race deserves...created by a user for users
You might think "This is all wonderful, but where do I come in?"
You, sir, are the user, you are the one this project is created for, and I need your help
I need you guys to help me create this ROM, I need you to tell me what you want to see in that ROM (Marshmallow), I want you to tell me what features are needed and what features are desired, what do you guys think Android M lacks and what shouldn't be touched, what should I improve and what should be left alone, I need your help to make something you would want to use.
HEY, ANDROID IS ALL ABOUT CHOICE AFTER ALL, AND I WANT YOU TO MAKE THE CHOICE!
P.S.:If you could name your phone, what UI or CustomROM you're running (or any CustomROMs you have used before) and tell me what features were implemented there and I should recreate or improve, the pros and cons of your ROM
P.S.S: I know I am asking for too much here, but as you might have thought, this looks like lots of work.
If you are interested in helping or being part of the UberROM project (name subject to change), tell me here, if you're a dev with experience on porting ROMs and tinkering with the AOSP, let me know, I could use all the help I could get!
Thank you!
Hi guys! How are u opt brothers?
As title says I'd like to ear ur opinion on what is happening on modders comunity around opt, I'll try to say my ideas but please... Excuse my English I won't post in Italian just because translators dsnt make good work with my language hehe
I opened this post because I really don't understand what's happening and what will happen to us, I came from just 2 other phones, HTC hd2 and galaxy s4,both kept for 3 years
I know those were phones who had a big success in therm of selling numbers and had a big, very big, work here on xda since the firsts days, many kernels many roms, many new ideas on add-ons and so on
I don't see the same enthusiasm here in opt section, there are various very good modders, just thinking about boeffla (great work bro!) and ak who sold his opt and won't continue his awesome work.
I think we are paying the lack of big sells, they opened very soon the free purchase without invites I really hope this will change something but there are too many competitors right now
I have to say the few roms that still recives updates are awesome, with some problems I know... But I see the work behind the scenes and it's great, also see some modders working on cm13 and his recovery, but lack of cm kernels is heavy and I don't know if, with marshmallow, there will be a revamp on comunity (maybe all coders are just waiting for M to start working)
Those are my ideas, I'd really like to see ur opinions and maybe tell me I'm completely wrong, I really hope it!! Hehehe
Okay so nice people, we have a lot of casual people asking this lately which oreo rom is most stable/smooth/status about known bugs. So please if anyone who has recently tried roms or even has knowledge about the status of these oreo rom and the known bugs in them, please share your thoughts. So that these guys can select the one they will like.
Just the small status about Volte,gps,camera,FP,selinux,banking apps,play store certified or not is also greatly apprecited.
Keep virtue signalling aside like it's disrespect to the developer and this and that. Understand that not everyone has the time or use device as a play thing. We enjoy doing this doesn't means everyone has to get their hands dirty. They are just here to upgrade their device.
And you can also share undergoing interesting developments by different devs, because not many are in touch with these projects as not everyone is part of telegram groups.
I would personally like to know which kernel/rom in your opinion has fastest fingerprint sensor. Currently MIUI stock is winning by a large margin IMO.
:good:
First of all your post's title is very misleading, edit it.
Look brother, it's inappropriate to make posts like this. Developers do all the hard work for free, but they have a life too. It takes time, skill & a lot of trouble shooting to develop a ROM. So just give them some time, okay?
If we keep nagging them, the devs might feel annoyed & lose their interest in developing for our device completely. Tell me, is that what you want? The problem is we only want to take everything for free, giving nothing in return - not even a little bit of patience!! That's not how the world works.
Android 10 isn't out for this device yet, but we already have 4 Android Q based custom ROMs for A3. You can try those in the meanwhile.
No hard feelings bro, just wanted to share my thoughts with you. Thank you.

I see. Stock android is not everyone's cup of tea. You see, this phone runs on stock android, so every custom rom for this device is going to be based on stock/AOSP. You probably won't get that cartoonish MIUI for this device. GSIs? May be. But those things are always riddled with bugs. Talking of Oxygen OS, there isn't a whole lot of deference between Android One & OOS. Besides, you'll lose the ability to use your cameras to their full potential - a common problem with custom roms in general.
You really should have gone with CC9e instead of A3.
I, for one, enjoy clean, fluid & bloat-free Android. Every feature you get on MIUI can be duplicated on stock rom with the help of some useful apps & a bit of creativity
Basically, stock android is like soft clay. You can customize it to any shape you like (granted, it does require some effort); you can't say the same for 3rd party skins like MIUI.
I thought that after more than 2 years since Mi A1, people finally learned that if they want MIUI, they need to buy a phone with MIUI and not Android One. What puzzles me even more, Xiaomi offers EXACTLY the same device with/without MIUI, yet people jump on the Android One train and complain.. Sorry for being off-topic, but I'm amazed by this behavior since the beginning of Xiamoi's Android One line
