Guys as the title tells, can someone experienced enough create a sticky thread for listing all the custom roms and kernels that are available for our galaxy s2?
And also regularly updating it when new roms are released. It will be much helpful.
As i dont have enough time regularly im not in a position to do that.
It hasn't happened yet for a good reason - there's still a debate about what can be defined as a custom ROM and what can't.
See the first post in the "Android development" section. Passions run high there.
I find it relatively easy to look at the headlines rom XXX v1.2 .
Any list is going to be meaningless unless it had a full and active update of the actual improvements on that version .
Some roms are not going to fit into any pattern particular Kitchen roms with multiple builds.

hello everyone i am fairly new to the world of android ive only had 2 android phones the first was a samsung transform which i rooted and had everything done to it that was possible but recently traded it for an echo and to my dismay cannot root it so i am gonna try and build my own custom rom just dont know how to do it ive been looking online for guides but it seems like everyone i found only works with htc? if someone could please guide me in the right path on finding guides on building roms that would be awsome i am curious to learn this whole process thanx
This probably isnt the right place for your post, a section called Android Development for your specific phone would be a great place to start a thread.
As for the question though, there generally speaking are no guides for building roms. Most people will start small, with mods or themes, then slowly grow into full roms. Although based on your post, your phone cannot be rooted, so how are you expecting to install the rom without root?
why our SGY has no Original Development Section, we have alot of original roms and kernels< I think they should be in a specific forum:silly:

all roms and kernels are in the dev section
origional development is for roms built from source and there are only a couple of source built cm roms - not really worth its own forum
The following are most likely “Original Development”:
Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

if you feel like this forum needs one you can ask a mod for a review
see the criteria in my post above
A question for understanding forums selection:
For me is "Original Android Development" that the ROM based on Stock ROM from Device, for example : HTC M8 with Sense6 is stock and original and HTC without Sense6 like CM is Android Development
Is this right or give me please another explanation!?
Thx in advance
No, you have it reversed. Also kernels, recoveries and stuff tends to go into original. This should be mentioned in a sticky in one or both of these subforums.
The wording is bad, the distinction arbitrary, and all over it's a terrible idea.
This has been brought up a few times.
Original Android development can have both sense roms and non sense roms eg CM, recoveries and kernels. The difference is the OP of the ROM has had to have made a large contribution to make the rom, recovery or kernel different to anything else of its type. This means that there has to be a large number of features that are unique to that rom and not offered in other roms.
Also any builds that go into OAD forums should be official builds by official maintainers as well. All non official builds should be in AD forum.
This would apply to kernels recoveries etc as well.
Edit here is the link to the main page that says what can go in to OAD and what cant: Introducing Original Development Forums for More Devices
Hi , thanks for your reply !
Now i got it !
Regards
hello. as most users have stock based modded roms, why don't separe the cyanogen? these roms confuse users with rare problems too...... i hope this solution because this is sometimes a problem
easiest, just to go cm homepage.
i don't need cm... the cm's rom invade the android development note 3, i ask why isn't there the separation
Most users don't use stock based roms many many use CM and without CM their would be a none to poor development scene .
One of the basics is if you don't understand then don't use modded firmware .
i asked for forum organization, and not for say that cm is better or not than stock based.... your answer is not pertinent to my question. goodbye

What? CM "invades" Android development? :laugh: You can guess who the first team was, to modify Android and present it as a custom ROM in the Android Development section. What's actually invading the Android Development section are all those "Stable, ROCK SOLID,® 100% Stable | BETTARY LAyF ◄◄©" TouchWiz ROM's! Those need a seperate section called "Stock ROM's with community bloatware instead of OEM bloatware claiming to break the barriers of physiks and being faster than light and breaking the first and second law of thermodynamics"... Not all of them of course. Exceptions are there.
Know where you are and why you are here!
please list sone of the best 2017's custom roms because my s4 already have cyanogen 4.3
Look in the development forums for your model number. The ones still actively updated or used are on the top.

i wanted a list of aosp/aokp opensource not the sammyroms... i want a list of the best supported 2017s roms because is found nothing in the forums lile a list of such roms
So let me get this straight. You expect someone to comb through all the development forums and list for you all the ROMs that are based off AOSP? If that is the case your request is unreasonable, especially when the various development forums in this section have search engines which you can use in order to answer your own question.
I doubt anyone has that kind of time to spare. If you do however, perhaps you could present that list.
