Original Android Development vs. Android Development - One (M8) General

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 !

Separate sticky thread for maintaining the index for roms,kernels

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.

[Q] stable jelly bean rom for xperia arc s?

can anybody suugest which is the most stable and powerful rom for xperia arc s?
i have already unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed the cwm in the phone.
i would require the download link as well as the instruction can anybody help me out?
1. Go check the development section instead of asking here. The only few JB ROMs available for Arc/S are CM10 based ROMs.
2. No point asking for best ROM, everyone has different requirements that are satisfied by different ROMs.
(layman terms - different people have different opinions on different ROMs)

Just to add - There is no stable JB ROM, because we lack of libs, that are needed for further upgrades.
IMHO, FXP's CM10 is the most stable JB for our Arc.
First do not ask questions in the General section.
Second remember what popthosegaskets said above.
OP as stated from above....also do not create multiply threads on the same topic...

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

why don't open a section for cyanogen??

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!

best customrom for galaxy s4 no stock

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.
