[Great News] [Official] [CM12.1][Coming Soon]

Hello Everyone
I have come across device tree for Hima M9/CyanogenMod 12.1 with a custom Kernel. (If I'll tell you the name of either , you'd Google in a second)
The developer is a genius and trust me you'd see both of these within a month. Stay tuned for updates.
I can attach screenshots but I'd not post links as previous experiences that I had meant that people started troubling the developer and he quit the project all together. Respect the developers and read in my signature about development process and what it is actually like to be one.
This is just a confirmation and I can actually prove it to everyone who are interested.
I see many device tree updates every day so I am sure once CM12.1 is available officially, it'd open gates for all sorts of custom ROMs!
Attachments coming in few hours as I'm heading out

wow that would be awesome! cant wait to run a pure android rom on this beast
*all f***** fingers crossed*

Yay!

I am afraid that is not it what you are pointing out.
Here are the screenshots.
You can clearly see that how much commits are posted daily and it is going on at a very brisk rate. Cheer up everyone!

Just please do not trouble the developer if you find out who is he.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
INTRODUCTION
I am starting this forum in hope of educating my readers about ROM development according to my experiences. Further, I will highlight what is the usual developers' thought process before they decide to build a ROM for a specific device. The reasons why they usually choose a certain device or why they prefer one device over another would also be stated briefly. I also have intention of looking into ways how we can speed up ROM productions for any device and what you can do to play your part.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION FOR NO CUSTOM ROMS EVEN AFTER SOME MONTHS BUT THIS DOESNOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO SPAM
I am sure many of you must be really disappointed by the lack of development for your device and I know this must be frustrating when we see other devices are getting ROMS so quickly. I know many are too excited when they find a little about any OTA/ Custom ROM and sharing such news is fully justified. However, it's beyond my logic & thinking why the forums are SPAMMED for any little information they might find anywhere regardless of their sources or if it has been ALREADY POSTED. I reckon many of these threads could have been avoided by simply searching in the forum.
ROM DEVELOPMENT
I can assure you that many develoeprs are working very hard to PORT and develop different ROMS for a device. However, the reason we can not see any CUSTOM roms till yet is due to complicated nature of a device itself.
Usually developers prefer a device which is :
1. Easy to work with, less complicated to code with or in other terms DEVELOPER friendly. For example, for a while I had a real issue with HTC phones as they have too many things to work with like Bootloader, S Lock, Radios, Hboot version etc while in Nexus devices you only need to unlock your device with one fastboot command. That's all and you are ready to flash ROMs.
2. Personal preference of Device. This simply means that we all have different tastes and thus we choose different devices. A certain developer might only work for a certain brand while other might work with few brands. This has nothing to do with anything but a personal choice.
3. A device that promises reward in terms of money/self satisfaction. Developers usually go for devices which have most active users so if their intention is also to get some money out of it in terms of donation, this will work well with devices which are more in number.
4. Knowledge about a certain brand more than another.
5. MONEY TO BUY A CERTAIN DEVICE/DEVICES. Suppose a developer wants to make ROMS for Xperia L/ SP/Z and Xperia U. Yet he only has 500 dollars to choose from. He then will have to make a choice between devices and this will eventually mean that not all of the devices get the same treatment. Money is the most decisive factor why a developer doesnot chose your device but rather another. For example purpose only, if I have to choose between devices, I might prefer SP over Xperia L as I can see more future of SP than Xperia L(I might be wrong).
6. Simply he bought a device or it is gifted/donated to him
SOME REQUESTS
Please STOP bugging developers by trivial questions. Just think how many other people ask the same question and it gets very frustrating to actually work on the device itself.
Every developer has a LIFE apart from developing ROMs. They also have a family, school, work, hobbies, bad days and so much like us. So they will do it when they feel like doing it. Just sit back and relax. Enjoy your device until developer releases the ROM for your device. Asking a REASONABLE question seems plausible but asking same questions/useless questions without using brains is just STUPID. Kindly refrain from that.
If you have seen a developer who has taken the initiative to work on your device , the best thing to do is to be patient. Let him concentrate. Spamming and spamming again won't help really.Yet some users start SPAMMING developers, their twitters, blogs and accounts. That's really sad. You can discuss on the forum what you think about it but IRKING developers isnot really cool.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP DEVELOPERS AND SEE CUSTOM ROMS.
1. Search the form first and look for answers. DON'T start new posts/questions/threads when it is ALREADY mentioned in some other section.
2. STOP PMing/SPAMING developers but rather ask a question WHICH havenot been asked before in the forum. Do not engage in the habit of making a new forum for everything. Try to keep threads as little as possible.
3. Follow developers and see what they have updated about on their official twitter,facebook,etc rather than bugging them on different forums/social websites.
4 DONATE THEM. DONATE THEM . DONATE THEM!
The amount of efforts they put, sitting for hours in front of their PCs and I know how frustrating it gets when you try to run commands and everything seems to work yet you can not boot up your ROM. And worse, you can not find WHY really. Just a change in line in build.prop results in failure of ROM to boot up and specially working from source to build ROM is really really tough. The best thing you can do is being supportive and patient !
A ROM development requires not just EXCESSIVE amount of hardwork, time, energy and dedication but also they need MONEY to actually buy devices and try it on. They are happy and encouraged to keep on developing ROMs when they see their efforts are not wasted and they are rewarded and respected for what they do.
SOME BASICS OF ROM DEVELOPMENT
Usually this is required to make a full custom ROM
Blobs which contain hardware information which comes from hardware manufacturer like Qualcomm in case of Snapdragon processors
A fully functional device tree
Latest Android source (Or the android version source you want to build for)
Specific Custom ROM coding which is based on Android Source
Usually a device tree and kernel tree is needed before custom roms can be made available. This is a long trial and error process in which every component of hardware is made functional as usually manufacturers do not provide any code for their devices and thus new code is to be written which is very frustrating and long process!

What i pointed is where the developer actually mentioned he his working on it and the link can be sourced by anyone, and people in that thread have been checking the github as mentioned. Theres now two threads on the discussion of cm12.1 which talk similar. All you are doing is not mentioning the dev based someone who used his work without his permission. Also to add the dev replied that thread to have to say they having working booting img just some features aren't working.
Link to his github for the current work

Thank GOD
---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------
I'll be happy to donate

I'm really excited about this, because the person doing this is making amazing progress and at last count I want to say it was only Wi-Fi and one other thing not working with said developer already pretty certain that they know how to change that, it's just a lot of trial and error (any dev knows how frustrating it can be having to compile the source all over again to test a tiny change)
What this means for me, personally, is that I can do what I've done on past htc devices and knock out a fairly complete port of miui (some default miui stuff doesn't play nice during flash, like the camera app, so I'll likely include the stock m9 camera app as packaged for other phones so it doesn't rely on sense)
Anyway... ?

Cheers for side information. I know the developer and I'm pretty sure you'd get a kernel and Cm12.1 pretty soon.
Actually I Would let the developers sort out their differences themselves, for me it is Cm12.1 coming pretty soon.

Yeah. Once we have a reliable port of CM12, then porting other stuff is pretty easy. All I have to do is find a device that already has miui with the same resolution and dpi/ppi and port the assets over to the m9.
Preferably I'd like to port the miui patchrom so I can setup an automated build system to build a fresh copy every time aosp and miui are updated, but I don't have anywhere near enough time for that.

Nice to see this coming ... And for MIUI I haven't been able to use it since I change my original EVO ... It would be great to have it as an option ...

Great news

Daily reminder that CM12 is a desperately needed and coveted thingy for the m8+1.

Flyme. OS - Moto G5 Plus

As the Redmi Note 4 has got Flyme OS, we also must not remain behind in any way... ! Even we haven't got Kali nethunter!Hope MIUI9 Comes soon after release!!

What's the question???

U should compile it bro

The question is that when are we getting MIUI n Flyme OS roms for our device??

We get a rom when a dev picks it up.
Development has to take place. It's a lot of work to get a rom up and running, and there is NO benefit to do so, other than to keep a few people who may use it happy. your best bet is to contact someone who develops it for another Moto/Lenovo phone, and see if they are aware there is some interest in it for the G5+.
sadly, stomping your feet going "Where is my Rom" has never gotten anyone anything...

Bro many Devs read these threads so I posted here! Dont be aggressive!

Are we short mods this weekend or something? Man alive

People have already tried porting MIUI to Mi A1 with no success just yet. But don't worry, a lot of people are still working on it.

It's not impossible lol. Nobody just wants to take responsibility with the release because it could be buggy and it's hard to maintain. A few of us have it booting and working fine. My reason for not releasing it though is because I want to make a GSI instead to help stimulate Treble development.

You have booted into MIUI ? That's great, are the MIUI services working ? Since i read in an another post for MIUI 9 that the services were not working since the device couln't be verified from mi servers

Thank you for your work.
Waiting to be able to prove miui in mi-a1

I've given up on MIUI GSI so now I'm reviewing whether to release MIUI just as a normal A1 ROM.
I still have work to do on it - the ROM I have right now is handcrafted. I will ONLY release it IF I can finish scripts to completely automate the build process (i.e. open source the work). Please don't bug me about it.
I will post updates here as they come in. Exams are on at the moment so it could be a while.

thank you bro your my heroo broo <3

For those wondering, the main reason I will not release existing MIUI is because it's a straight port of nougat base from 5x. It doesn't work on my TWRP and I cannot dual boot, so I will never use it and thus cannot support it. I will not be an irresponsible dev who releases things that he won't use or test.
New work is based on Redmi S2, which is 8.1 based and will get MIUI 10 quicker. Since it's different hardware and based on China ROM, there is extra work to do.

It's only Nougat, so no I cannot use it.
I will never port beta ROM anyway, only stable releases. Otherwise I can't be sure if it's a bug with port or the ROM itself.

No more security updates for Note 5 & S6!

Dear all NOTE 5 & S6 users,
SAMSUNG has ended all support to both S6 & NOTE 5, VERY SADDENED..!
BELOW IS ACTUAL CONTENT CONFIRMED FROM SAMMOBILE, SO DON'T WAIT UP FOR UPDATES...!
But for all MODS it's a Good sign bcoz finally they can be assured that there work will be more important to either port or bring out fresh new Custom Roms & users gonna cherish it if it's a stable one.
Right now there are no stable Custom Roms considering platform of OREO OR PIE.
I WISH WE HAD OFFICIAL SUPPORT BUT IT'S ALL GONE NOW.
Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ will not get monthly security updates;

Oneplus 5 e Depth API

First of all, sorry if I have violated rules !
Google recently released a Depht LAB app! And OP5 does not have official support for the Depth API! Op5t doesn’t have it either, but there are people unofficially getting it. I know that Arnova8G2 makes mod ..I tested his but I still couldn't get it to work. I was wondering if you have any project to make this API bj oneplus 5 work too !?
