Non GSI ROMs (where did they go) - Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) Questions & Answers

Title says it all, most of the updated rom is for GSI users which I find complicated to install at least for me a non developer inclined guy, anyways, why are developers focusing on GSI roms? are they better than non GSI roms? Its been sad that to see developers of our beloved device especially non GSI rom have come to halt.
Hopefully some of the developers that are still active here could create a non GSI rom to bring back our phone to life. This is just my humble request.
Thanks and best regards. :good:

can any dev make some other roms for moto g4 plus ?

Can any devlpr make some other rom like flyme, colour os, untill the Volte bugs solved in cm..that ll b great
Why don't you do it instead? There's a lot of resources on the internet that can get you started in no time.
If i know how to make rom from sources, i would started the work...if u know how to make thn ur gud to go..
All the Devs doing this stuff in their free time so take what has been released or make a ROM by yourself.
If you don't know how to make a ROM, head over to the library and the Internet, get books and stuff and learn the java programming language.
Additionally learn the "edify" language for setting up the updater-script etc. which is needed for proper recovery flashing.
So long...
I don't think the VOLTE bug is a motivator for any dev to develop an entirely new ROM.
They'd rather focus their efforts in squashing that bug and make a stable CM based ROM, which in my opinion is the best an Android can get.

Yeah, I agree.
Plus PAC-rom is already in development, which takes the best from the best. So stay put, trust the devs and start contributing by testing of on-going ROMs.
PS
Resurrection Remix here and Beanstalk here are also in development.

Request for porting OEM ROMS

Hello friends and developers... Warm greetings for you all..
Thanks for brnging the taste of CM13 to our device.
Porting and custom ROM development is slowly starting to raise for our device now a days. So I would like to place a tasty Request in the beginning itself
PLeaaase try to port various OEM Roms like Lewa OS, Nubia UI, Baidu OS etc., to name a few, rather than creating a number of CM/AOSP based ROMs. So that people may enjoy different flavours :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Love you all Developers, Brothers and Friends,

whats the difference between the two maintainer and builder?

whats the difference between the two maintainer and builder?
there are a lot of nougat roms but they are all not official...as far as i understand because there ie no maintainer. but there are builder. so whats the difference.
almost every s model including the minis have official nougat
Maintainer is a developer, somebody that actually knows programming and also has some experience with it. He or she is the one that fixes device specific bugs.
A builder is just that, somebody that builds the ROMs. Anyone can build a ROM, it doesn't require any programming knowledge.
And there are various guides on how to do it too, you only need a Linux system with decent performance, otherwise it might take some hours only to build one ROM zip.
The Maintainer job is purely a voluntary one. So somebody has to volunteer to become the Lineage maintainer for the S4. But this is not all. He or she also needs to be accepted by the Lineage team, because they don't just take anyone. You need some experience for it.
Another reason we have no official Nougat is because there are still some bugs (such as the reboot bug) and the Lineage team doesn't accept that from what I heard. Oh, and they want cleaner code too.
So yeah, I don't know if he will have any official Nougat any time soon, if ever.
But just because we don't have official Nougat doesn't mean we don't have developers. We still have some people that do some developing for the S4.

[rom request] dirty unicorns v12.0 for mi a1

Hello Devs,
I am a Mi A1 user for almost 7 months and was an avid user of custom roms and after trying each and every rom , I came upto a conclusion that DIRTY UNICORNis one of my favorite rom and I hope its favorite of many other users too.
So being a non-techy guy , i would like to request the respected devs to please come up with Dirty Unicorn v12.0 for our beloved phone and pile up the list of custom roms by one floor more.
Waiting for the devs to respond to the thread with some positive feedback.
Looking forward
To all the Dirty Unicorn Rom Lovers , please comment down and support our community to grow more and do tag the developers if possible.
i hope we get DU and EX kernel they were my favorite on my previous devices
Working on it, trying to fix some things to build it, if I success, I will test it and bring it the quicker I can :good:
By now I am working in another rom, so it will take a little longer

NO Brother until @karthick mostwanted or any other dev make Treble supported Custom Rom for us.:crying::fingers-crossed:
Although we are sooooooooo..... much lucky to get Android 8.1 for karate and karatep.
Really Dev(s) are so much Hard Working, they spent Days and Nights for fixing bugs in ROM.
So, we should be satisfied with what we have got
Cheers!
Still waiting .. i am really looking forward for this device to get updates .. thanks for karathick for all his work but the device is not dead yet .. alot of people use this device!

Closing Thread!
Hey Guys!
:victory:​Finally Devs! Released treble for our old device.:victory::highfive:
Even after many consequences like I.:crying:
Thank You! @karthick mostwanted
Without You Karate/Karatep was Impossible.
And Thank You to all other developers who were responsible for flourishing of Our Device.
Would Request evryone capable of awarding Devs to make an effort to give something in return for continuation in development.
Even a single effort will help.
Remember: The longest journey starts with a single step:angel:
