ROM lists

Lets have a thread to List broadly ROMs that we have here..
I will start with the ones I have seen here..
we can give pointers on basis of :-
Style:
Stability:
Speed:
Battery:
On the scale of 1-10 , 10 being the highest
Typical Use:
*Special mention :
*offcourse the opinions may vary user to user, but will give us an idea for sure
Ok, Lets start:
#Manilla2d < Is It the Touch Viva 'fame' type?>
#Cube <This is Sure HTC Touch style>
Hello all / I am Bhushan Sohani /

I don't think a lot of people will participate in the thread, since we at this forum strongly discourage rating of ROMs, since each of them is a product of buring a lot of midnight oil (and loss of hair ).

But Again/..
Lets look at it positively..
The ROM Makers can get a good amt of feedback.. and can make their ROMs close to perfection faster.. / like they will have feed of so many testers /
Plus we get a separate thread to praise the smallest detail that ROM makers spend so much time on..
Little bit of analytical angle to it..:|
ROM makers can also benifit at single source, I think..
I do not mean any offence to any of the programers in any way.., I respect all of them..
<And so should everybody .. who posts here !>
Budding programers can also see, what geek-techs prefer, whats liked more, and whats creating issues...
Also..
Some people who have some creativity, but are not so pro at programming, can also give some input here, and pool in together..
Constructive development..
So,
what say fellas?
< Personally I love the work on this forum, and so do people who read/post here, I guess..>
/Once again .. Kudos../

G3Mod's Collections...

Hello everyone,
G3 is becoming an excellent phone to use with all the development going on...
I see that we have people from everywhere in the world, and many people would like to use ROM's with BASE ROM's from their region...So i with others have decided to make a collection of ROM's with different bases...It will be basically something like my collection but with different base roms, kernels and themes and stuff...
What we require is a team of people.the different work that can be done is:
ROM Development
Kernel Development
Theme Development/Porting
BootAnimation Development/Porting
Android Application Development
If you feel you up for any of the above let us know...
The List of People already involved are as follows:
dharamg3
Stylooo
aarrun
RafayelG
dypmy
cdesai
peldax

"Reserved for later" LOL
nice idea
this would make g3 a gr8 device
all gr8 features on all base roms
good thing to do

Hello all,
We are in need of "Theme porters" and "Android Dev".
If you are interested, PM me or just reply on this thread.

[Q] How to develop ROM?

Hi,
I want to know how can I make my own ROM using paul's ICS sources or build it from the CM9 sources, which software I need to use and is this tut good for beginning?
www(.)theunlockr(.)com/2010/03/26/how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/?
PS: I also want to add the reason why I don't contact with paul is that I wanted to learn & develop it only for me & mine friends
Ofc. for X8 and on nAa kernel ;3

do you know JAVA atleast?
EDIT: wait, you want only to make the build, or to work on the rom and on the source?
EDIT2: Wrong section btw, you should asked on Q&A's

Java on basic level, I do not know any of it's APIs but I can learn them ( I don't know Android API too )
C/C++ on intermediate level
First build it from source, after successful modify source and compile ROM.
MOD: Please move to Q&A if possible, thanks.

You could read my thread (look at my signature). I wrote all the stuff you need to know of ROM-compiling. There's also a thread about kernel making.

Thanks at all, you got the point. I'll try to compile it using yours tut and post result here And one more thing, developing CM9 for X8 build for which phone i need to base on? And where I can get hmmm... X8 Driver sources? Adreno libs and others?

Right now we don't have sources for X8. You need to port most of libs. You could also paul-xxx's drivers from his github. Good luck If you have some questions PM me, I'll help if I'll be able to.

doixanh based his GingerDX ROM - based on Gingerbread - on the Hero source tree. If I recall correctly I read somewhere that a CM9 port to the HTC Hero exists; that might be your best shot as the phone is about the same specs as the X8.
And as eagleeyetom wrote: You either use paul-xxx's drivers or you reverse engineer the Eclair drivers and write them anew from scratch (if your thought was going into the direction of the kernel) - there's no CM9 port for the X8. Your best option would be to try and find devices having a matching hardware component and porting the drivers from there - but chances are pretty slim that other phones use the same hardware SEMC stuffed into the X8.
---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
Update: paul-xxx also maintains a GIT repo with a msm7227 kernel ...
paul-xxx / semc-kernel-msm7227-ics
EDIT: Along with some other interesting repos ...
- android_hardware_qcom_camera
- Xperia-TI-Wlan
- android_device_semc_msm7x27-common
These three at least seem to relate to the X8 "Shakira"

Thanks all for help, now I have some basic workaround with this
And one off topic question
ICS is running on 3.0.3 kernel, yes? So why we don't try to port it for X8 and using old 2.6.xx?

It seems the genuine Google AOSP ICS is running Linux 3.0.8
Porting the Kernel might turn into a huge effort. The ABI of 2.6.29 and 3.0 are not really compatible, so the kernel drivers would need to be ported to the CM9 3.0.x series - in case a simple patching them into the kernel tree and trying to compile bombs out with tons of make errors.
Apart from that - the main problem with ICS on the X8 is that a whole lot of devices can't use a custom kernel as a change in the hardware (devices of 11W29 and newer) prevents boot loader unlock.
We could try to see if the CM9 kernel could be slapped into shape ... I got a Quad-Core Phenom II to tackle that task - if someone wants to help out in the research if some msm7227 / Shakira specific parts would need to be patched into the source tree because they aren't part of it.
EDIT: Even the official CM repo uses Linux 2.6.37.6 as their kernel, and the progress on the FXP Kernel seems to have come to a halt; at least I can't see any new stuff in the -shakira repos.

LG GT-540 has ICS on 2.6.35 kernel. Maybe we could try to port Arc's kernel. Maybe this one? Recommend me some C/C++ books to learn basic stuff

You want this book's in english or you prefer in our native? ;3

This is a rather tricky question ...
If you do as I did simply Google up a C/C++ Reference/Tutorial (i.e. http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/webmonkeys/book/c_guide/ or http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/) and get going ... you already got gedit to code up .c files, and gcc is also part of your Linux distro to try and compile your "hello_world.c" You could also Google for Online Classes (in the like of http://www2.its.strath.ac.uk/courses/c/) and pick whatever suits you.
However, if you want to read real books ... look through the offers of Addison Wesley and pick what you think is the best book for you. You could also hit up your closest public library and see what they have in store (may be cheaper than buying in case you don't have much money to spend) - or, in case you study, you may want to look into your University's library.
Of course you could also start off with the usual "C/C++ for Dummies" or "Teach yourself <whatever> in 7|14|21|30 days"

Polish would be awesome ;P

Best, simply writed polish C/C++ tutorial, one of the best www(.)warsztat(.)gd/tutorials.php?x=category&id=18
In adddition you can search for ( it's a big ebook ) Symfonia C++ Grębosza ( Symphony in C++ ), you can find it on chomikuj.pl but if U want I can upload it somewhere for you
And if you will have any problems with C/C++ you can write to my GG number 10037533 or PM me here

Porting miui/lewa status and hopes toward our dev

Hi Bro & Sis,
Frankly speaking,Im bit confused about MIUI & LEWA OS porting status for our x8 ether its agains of XDA Rules or not.As me understand its like this:
-Porting isnt wrong if somebody do it from own rom resource(based own rom).
-Any tutorial & other source is open to anybody to used it as long as proper credit given.
So,me didnt see any wrong of it and me also wondering are there any of our DEV who has a own rom willing to do it if its legal.
Yes,we have many roms(MIUI & LEWA) out there but its based on somebody else rom which is not promising for development(bug fixing,better performance etc) because as I know beside its remain ori bugs its also bring new bugs & little lag of performance.
If anybody has diff point of view please share it to help me be more clear about regarding issue.
THANKS

Please read here for your reference.
Second, Mod roms will now be placed in the X8 Themes & Apps forum The threads will contain in the OP all the relevant permissions/credits along with links to the original rom thread and provided as a cwm update zip. This decision has been made after consultation with RD's/Developers/Senior members and this is there wishes so respect them

Actually the reason why colossus keep on closing such thread in development its because of the failure to comply this rules. I dont see any hard part in following that rule. Let me simplify.
Now you want to mod or port ROM? Here are some checklist.
1. If you will be using a based ROM. Please make sure you have proper permission from the base ROM developer. THIS IS A MUST.
Now you have permission eh?
So you can start modding/porting the ROM.
What if I didnt get permission?
Dont worry you can still mod/port that ROM but please do not share it here. In short it applies only for personal use.
2. If you already done porting then create a thread in X8 Themes & Apps. If your rom becomes popular and you apply your own fix etc. Then please contact the MOD so that the ROM will be moved to Development Section. (Ofcourse it will still undergo screening if that would fit on the Dev Section.
Now guys what is the hard part understanding those Rules implied?
back to bed zZZzzhh

Deedii,
By your statement,me understand this;
Porting rules is a same as modding/theming rules(must be place in x8 theme sec.)
As I know,this rules is for someone who modding/theming based on others rom because ori Dev usually not modding/theming their own rom & open a new thread.
If they did or add/remove something,we can call it a next updates.
Its make sense if someone porting based on others but how about porting based on own roms?
For example;How about if nAa porting MIUI based on his MiniCM?
Should its must place in theme sec too?
BTW,its help me clear a bit thats porting based on somebody else rom is NOT agains XDA rules if you put in theme sec. with a permission & proper credit.thanks
p/s:sorry if disturb u,its 8.00am in my place when I make this thread

i thinks the miui and lewa os remove because some warez or legal issue.
i agree that we can post rom with permission. but i think that miui os and lewa os is consider as theme bercause based from cm 7.1 or 7.2 etc. lasttime i saw ppl post that lewa os is theme ginger dx , meybe they need get permission.
p/s: something i no understands. for example , if some 1 take minicm7 with permission then add tweak like gps tweaks,bravia, other rom lib etc from other people is consider development??? nowday dev is like zoo many cm 7.1, 7.2

For example;How about if nAa porting MIUI based on his MiniCM?

Ofcourse it will be considered as development. If you based it with your own ROM then there is no issue since its yours. What are you confused about?

As stated no its not. Instead of posting the whole rom you can actually make a flashable zip on that tweak that you want to put.

OK.Now I get it.Thank You, Deedii.

please can read

I have seen the work of many web developers is the widely recognized. I have found that while there are developers who are porting applications Longest and giving a good finish to your roms. There are others who are dedicated to copy and paste into your roms, what they worked an. and these are not given due recognition.
They use a rom base and engaged in copying the improvements that an other hard-working and only the "included" in their rom and over asking for donations for his "work".
You may have noticed that there are certain periods where the Rom are in a state where there are no more updates. this is because they no longer have to copy the other roms. I cite as an example the user (chikencito12 with Xperia rom v5.0 S-ing "Galaxy" 2.3.7) and others.
As for me and I'll have a paypal account, and makes a donation to this developer Achotjan and if developing a rom and not just copying. (ported to xperia xperia x10 s on your base and Cyanogen/freexperia rom mod) there will be many who will be copying your "port" lock screen xperia s.
I ask the moderator due apologies. if I'm missing the rules please let me know.
