[Q] Now Android MM is out for while, anybody working on any new ROMS? - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys was just wondering if there any developers who are working on some new ROMS for our MXP as it seems very quiet in the development sections of the forums, couple of variations of stock rom and that's pretty much it.
Was expecting for development to pick up after the MM but its been VERY quiet.
Not a complaint just wondering if there are things going on behind the curtains like development being done or some CM13 or anything along those lines.

Having MM OTA out is not enough.
Not much can be done until Motorola will release the kernel source

Any idea if its going to get released and if yes then when ?
and out of self interest what does the kernel source enable developers to do ?

It's totally depended on Motorola.
The source enable developers to release AOSP roms and custom kernels.

Has Motorola been known to release kernel sources before for previous flagships ?

Would love for them to release the binaries and device tree for AOSP builds...

They are required to release any changes to the kernel they have made due to the GPL license that the linux kernel is protected by. so its not a matter of if but when.

MM and now kernel source released, and still, slow as hell. Sucks. I thought this phone would be one of the most active in development, was i wrong.

I'm on retail Asia variant which leaves me with 1 rom. And I can't even get mm for my variant let alone custom roms.

What happened to this phone?

So few people have the tablet at the moment, suspect that's the hold up. It still hasn't been released to the rest of the US.
How much can you do without the source code?
There's not much you can do without the source. The xoom only got it's first rom a few days ago and it does not have all that many changes. Once we get the kernel source, we should start seeing some custom kernels(for overclocking and stuff) but that's about it.

That's what I figured. I'm sure you can change around a few small things, but for the most part didn't expect what I'd consider a true "custom rom."
Will probably have to wait for Ice Cream Sandwich.
I think we can thank google for that as they have chosen not to release the AOSP for honeycomb. And who knows when samsung will release the kernel source. I would have thought they would have released it by now.

I'm not exactly sure what the law is but they will have to release it eventually.. The linux kernel is under the GPL, which means that any modifications to it are, without question, also under the GPL. Therefore, they have to make their version of the kernel open source at some point. Does anyone know how long they have to do so?
Does any one know if the retail version of the galaxy tab have an unlocked boot loader and if can be rooted? cant seem to find that info ne where. if it has a locked bootloader you can forget abt custom roms till the bootloader can be unlocked

Umm, its negligible. To start a thread in development you need to have created something for other people to test and use. Posting a link to a website which developers probably check every day doesn't really count.

I am in agreement here; this should not be in dev as it is just a link to the kernel released, no actual development is being done. It belongs in general. Plus, you guys need to stop bickering damnit! Time to start this thread with a clean slate.

Contacting CM to update sources to KK

Hello friends.
As all of us see, LG released their KitKat sources long time ago. Our great developers like @dr87 @Savoca @houstonn and others made it with Their hard work to merge them so we have two stable / nearly stable roms: Mahdi and PA. But what with other roms? Most of the roms are based on CM, so they still have bugs.. During months, CM doesn't seem to have done ANYTHING.
So my question is, how about to send a message (or spam, in any way u name it) by all of us to CM, to the maintainer? We have official support, but in fact it's "support without support" in my opinion. Maybe after these messages they would finally start to do something, because it's like they forgot about G2...
Regards.
EDIT: so we have a way to contact => https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa
now we should make a well, polite message so everyone would copy it and drop there.
Another way it would be to ask the maintainer directly https://plus.google.com/+RicardoCerqueira
EDIT2: I gave a comment to Ricardo on Google+ here https://plus.google.com/+RicardoCerqueira/posts/4dc8kVBYuTq feel free to do it as well
The best bet would be to create an improvement note at their so called "Bug Tracker" considering that they are doing this for free, this would be the most polite form.
I support this initiative, but today be entirely honest M6 for me is almost bug free, fast and battery efficient.
Up to date sources is great, but if a rom is working well, I don't care if the sources are old!

I personally had CM for some time, and it never was so stable as Mahdi R1 which i have now. Besides that, a lot of roms like Carbon or Slim can't be simply updated from CM sources, so they still have bugs.

Just to clarify, roms that are based on CM do not need CM to upgrade to 4.4.2 sources. The upgrade is done in the device tree / vendor files and kernel. The rom source does not need any changes and each rom maintainer for the G2 has the power to upgrade their rom to 4.4.2 G2 sources without CM doing anything, they just need to figure out the specific device tree bugs for each rom and fix them.
I am under the impression you think CM needs to upgrade in order for CM based roms to upgrade, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong :good:

apparently theres a bit of confusion, there was some one nightly where the rotation wasnt working with the jb baseband, (im gussing on that nightly he used the kk source ) because flashing the kk baseband on that build fixed the rotation issue, but im not quiet aware of what the situation is ince im back on stock. anyways ill be swinging it on the latest nightly just to clarify my doubts. and im pretty sure they just want the maintainer to switch to kk source , btw nice to see you here hope your cooking something great for us

Well, in the past I had some Android phones, and CyanogenMod was always first with upgrading everything, and then other developers were basing their ROMs on these updates. I mean, they updated everything, end other ROMs were updated fast. They're not giving support which they were giving in the past, that's all.

We will see, it is very hard to port when kernel is not given. There are people working on it and doing a very good job!
Sadly, the complete kernel (custom kernel with drivers) was leaked for a short period and a few devs have it.. but they are afraid to use or publish it because they don't want to be sued.

At least someone has it.. I am not so sure on how many have it. Don't be too excited yet, we might not get it (soon). The source can not just be published to the public, the one who does will face some problems.. (see what happened to incomplete source).

May i ask what happened?. And i know is not that easy, what i meant is that he (or they) could make a nice ROM build with that source, maybe as an anonymus guy or something like that, is not necesary to publish full source code. Our another hope is wait for MTK to release it , but it wont be soon, even could never happen

We can build roms ourselfs, just need proper kernel. Just let me say that much: I have a reliable source that told me someone has it. I don't think (anymore) it was leaked to the public ever, all kernel leaked on git were incomplete.
All kernel sources I've seen for X10 are not for our device. Another thing is the AOSP sources are very buggy and unfinished.
I finally made progress on my AOSP 5.1 and fixed the slow app launch (maybe you've seen one youtube video posted here - this is my build).
Unfortunately I don't have kernel source for Redmi Note 2 and it is impossible to build a custom kernel, so I'm trying to finish the ROM and will use prebuilt kernel.
If you think it is easy as porting, then you're wrong. Compiling something from source and fixing all bugs is completely different animal.
CM 12.1 also booted, but a lot of work needs to be done there too.

What is time to wake? On miui time is long :/ On our last phone (A820) time to wake is much better.
How aboute "tap to wake"? What is result on antutu? When you publish rom?
AOSP boots up and works faster than MIUI and also has much much better ram management, although it would be good if we could make a custom kernel.
Tap to wake normally needs to be supported in kernel, so the answer is "no".
Antutu score is irrelevant, but normally I get about 48K with the basic model. I've seen higher, seen lower.
It also depends on kernel.
Don't forget that for A820 I have a custom optimized kernel.

Future of OP3T

What is the future of OP3T concerning roms? I know One Plus will not provide support after the O update, so well have to get our taste from custom roms. Why are there so many resurrection ROMs? Does anyone still use all those features anyhow? I can't tell you the last time i heavily modified my rom. I typically stay on PA, FreedomOS, or stock rooted.
Does anyone know where I can find some AOSP kernels?

no one said O is end of the line for 3/3T, it's the end of beta, they cant keep 2 beta's
that's said, even if that's true, there will be plenty of O custom roms, and probably P when it's released...
AOSP kernel, hmm, ther was one i don't remember it's name i'm not sure if it's still maintained, look for it on the cross devices section, it was the kernel for the OSIP rom.

Actually I don't know how that goes, since I know nothing about developing ROMs, but since there is new OS versions for devices which didn't get them officially, there must be some way. Some functions propably not gonna work similarly, depends on device tho (Samsung Note 4 example.. custom ROMs were missing all "S pen" -stuff and camera quality was horrible. All camera framework stuff were binded to Touchwiz itself), but atleast our Oneplus 3T is quite simple device and camera is so far working "good enough" even on custom ROMs.

The source code used for custom roms is based on aosp(google)not on the one released by oneplus. Basically the one on pixel and nexus devices and mixed up with oneplus drivers( blobs actually)..
So no. Custom roms will continue till developers stop making builds.years after oneplus droping support
This phone is good for the next year at least. People will still have it since it's like the budget pixel

Not really. The code oneplus release, the blobs and the devices trees can help to improve custom ROMs, but custom ROMs won't disapear if we doesn't have the source.
Just look at the Xperia SP for example. Official android version, 4.3. Android version thanks to custom ROMs, Oreo.
The code the manufacturer release is highly important at launch, to have a base to work on to port a custom ROM. On android P developers will take the android O tree and start to update it to support the code changes of P, without the need of OP.

Its not. It can make devs life easier i guess. But i have a htc one s with android 7.1.2 ressurrcetion remix rom and everything is working fine.
And the last official update the htc one s got was jellybean.
