Hello, I create this thread to know if someone knew a stable custom rom for the Ouktiel K12.
Indeed this one in its basic version is on Android 9.0.
I would like to find a rom allowing me to pass on a higher version of Android, without bug (Camera, Audio, applications, etc.)
Thanks in advance for your answers

Hi,
Can someone make clear to me as a noobie what are the differences between "cores" of the ROMs?
I see there are most favourite ones like "XWLP9" and "AOKP" - what are the differences between them? I see AOKP has more updates from kernel and maybe some other things in addons? Besides XWLP9 seems to me more stable but I only observe rom peoples comments and replys so can someone tell me which ROM core I should be focused on when choosing ROM? Some advices, experiences what you have with them - ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES maybe or something ... I see there are roms like these two from what I want to choose:

Google is your friend.
XWLP9 is the latest stock/official ROM version from Samsung for the SGS2 (GT-I9100).
So, these kind of ROMs are based on Samsung stock ROMs ... with some customizations (e.g. rooted, some removed bloatware, some custom themes/mods, etc.).
The other kind of custom ROMs have AOSP (Android open source project) or ASKP (Android open kang project).
So, they are either on pure Google Android OS or Linux. Usually there is a team of developers who share their parts/versions in binaries and as source code.
The kernel is kind of "core" of the firmware.
Every ROM contains its own kernel, as this is a basic part of the firmware ... and the phone can't work without it.
You can also flash other (custom) kernels on a ROM.
But not every kernel is compatible with every ROM.
OK thank you I read about these two a lot i needed some experienced opinion and clearing it up for me.
What I basically needed was opinions about these two versions from experienced users. If non oficial and trully open made ROM is better and in what ways or is it better to stay on oficial ones etc. This is what i wanted most from this thread ...
Hey guys,
I know there are many best ROM threads out there as well as many flavors suitable for all needs. Personally, I just don't have the time test everything until I find the perfect ROM.. So I hope you guys can help me choose a good one considering the list below..
I'm currently using CM11 and although it's a great lightweight rom I miss many basic Samsung stock functions (swipe to call, palm to mute, etc..). I also know some apps should solve this but IMO they don't..
So, I'm looking for a Samsung based rom that's:
- easily installed by pc or cwm recovery
- stable and preferably bug/freeze fix free with everything working
- lightweight and widely supported
- although not essential, preferably with nightlies updates
- either s5 or mini s5 based
- android 4.4.2 or higher
And I think that's it. Thanks in advance.
There are not many 4.4 tw roms to try. Best bet would be to read the threads and see what the user's think. See what the problems are ect ect
I have a OPO, currently running on sultanxda's version of cm12.1
I really liked the miui ui and want to flash it... So,
1) are there any official/port of miui based on lollipop (material design)?
2) I really want to experience miui, so all I have is miui 6 or 7, still based on kk.
If I flash it, what features of lollipop will I lose, apart from material design?
What will I gain from miui based on kk which is absent in lollipop?
There were too many threads to go through, without answers specific to my questions... Kindly answer my questions
Your issue is that miui is not really developed here and no real developer will touch it.
Your best bet is the miui site.
Hello guys, devs!
Phone: Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon), (kenzo)
Testing the roms: only a clean install, stock kernel, disable all unusefull display stuff (more contrast, rotation etc), and only install the vr player app.
So the problem is shortly: the VR video files quality is not sharp, blurred a bit when using hardware encoding . I'm using Var's VR player for this, but dosn't need it, just is the simpliest and the best at the moment. The good image quality what only in some rom looks like, when we disable the hardware encoding. Contact with the developers, so not an app problem.
On my device a lot of Marshmallow based roms hase encoding wrong this videos. Playing well, but if anyone used a good rom for this, all others crappy.
On the official MIUI roms only the Lollipop based roms working good (the developer MIUI 8 based roms not).
Tested a lot of roms release by release, in the Marshmallow based roms only one Krexus AOSP rom port playing well these.
In the Nougat based roms the situation is a bit better, but only 1 or 2 roms working well (only one CM14.1 port and two AOSP) for this, but it's a very young system, so when we know whats the problem on MM base the other devs will solve the problem (i think )
And I think not in this device the only one what is produces this problem, just the users don't know about this, because "working".
Here is the official thread with logcats and others in my google drive and the full storyline about the testing.
And reported on the official MIUI forum: link
In my drive you see the logcats, the krexus is the good, but renamed the files, so simpliest.
Some devs say the adreno blobs the problem. Tried to make an update (the zip in the drive), which is changing the adreno blobs to a correct (krexus), but when installed to a cm13 or other mm roms, the rom's stuck before the boot animation.
That's all, don't know what is the problem on the base.
Thanks for the help!

Hello friends! I have been reading a few different forums and sources regarding roms, but I had a few question to which I cannot find any answers to. I hope you all may be able to help provide me with some information.
I have read numerous forums with people who want to flash newer versions of android on their devices, or even revert back to their stock rom, but what about a custom rom that is a lower android version than what the tablet stock was ? Is that even possible, provided you compile it with android's open source code?
I have 4 lenovo tab 10 tablets - they are all painfully slow, and always have been. It doesn't matter if you clear the cache, disable programs, factory data wipe and reset, etc.
I understand that the reason the tablets are so slow is the hardware that it comes with - especially the 1GB of ram limitation.
For this reason, I wish to be able to flash kitkat on the devices to improve performance. I don't mind if many playstore apps wont run on the device, I just wish to be able to use it to surf the web and read a few e-mails. And believe me or not, the tablets in their current state can barely do that!
Anyhow, if I was to get the source code for kitkat, would I need to somehow port over the drivers from the stock firmware, or would this not be possible because the stock firmware is lollipop? I am having difficulty understanding if the kernels are related to the operating system version or if they can be used with different operating systems. The same is true for the "drivers", which I believe I had read are binaries?
Any help you guys could provide I would appreciate greatly! I don't care about building or getting a custom rom that has all sorts of programs and icon packs, I just want a bare bones kitkat install with chrome and google play capability to download a few minimal apps.
Thank you all for your time and help, and I hope to hear back soon!
