Why no Froyo or custom roms?

This phone has been on the market for some time now and there are almost no custom Roms for this phone. There are certainly no Froyo roms. Is there a problem with development? Did samsung release all the drivers needed?

there are in fact many custom ROMs already.
but the guys making the custom ROMs are waiting for Froyo to be released, before they go crazy on it (same here)
Samsung is releasing Froyo sometimes in September, just in time for back to school
for the time being i'm mostly evaluating all the softwares i wat to include into my own custom ROM once froyo has been released, and also building a list of build in apps that i don't use and want to remove
you can install any of the many available custom ROMs already from the DEV section just search for [ROM]

Samsung have released the source code, but reportedly the drivers are encrypted. This means all custom roms for the near future will need to be based off the official (and leaked) Samsung releases with just optimisations (eg: MoDaCo R3) or theming (eg: SamSet 1.6), but no ports or AOSP until the drivers can be recovered.
However, work has started on Cyanogen 6.0 for Galaxy S. They are stil very much in the initial stages however.
Official Froyo is due sometime in August (Korean release), so it's easiest to just wait for that and then go from there. However, we may get some leaks early if the stream of beta firmwares (still 2.1) is anything to go by.

Actually i'm quite sure Paul said that next MoDaCo release won't be based on an official samsung firmware, so I think it's just a matter of time and many ROMs will appear.

Samsung Roms Simple Suggestion

Hi Developers. Novices and newbies get confused between Stock Roms and Custom Roms terms. What I feel That all company officcial firmware with official kernels may be called simply as Samsung Roms while all other Roms such as modified roms, tailermade roms,etc leaked romas may be termed as Custom Roms (as they are being called now). Andriod OS may added. Sumsung GB Rom, Samsung ICS Rom- Custom GB Rom, Custom ICS roms. So the other company roms-htc rom, motorolo rom, sony rom etc.

The distinction makes more sense if they're called Touchwiz/stock-based roms and AOSP/CM/Kang roms. What you suggest will only serve to lengthen the name of a ROM which is already for Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 (remember that ROMS can be found outside of Note-only forums, as well as using Google, and it's important to have the device name.)

Any custom roms availible for the P8??

Are there any custom roms for the Huawei P8?? I really can't find them, so I doubt if I will get such a device.. A cyanogenmod based rom would been great..

reliable custom rom with stable camera and security updates?

Stock based rom has become painfully slow and unresponsive. I installed resurrection remix pie but camera is buggy (slow or crash).
Any reliable custom rom with stable camera? Even older android versions as long as there are security updates

It depends on user preferences. If you have Exynos variant, I would go for Nemesis Refined Rom 3.x.x. if you have Snapdragon, I recommend Norma N7 Port v26 or Nemesis Note 7 port v3. But choose N4 camera in Aroma installer if you want stable camera.

I have snapdragon thx but stock based roms don't have security updates anymore right?

Norma has security update from 1st September 2017. It's UI that matters. You are getting Dream UX for free, which actually works better and smoother than stock Marshmallow ROM. To be honest, I have never seen Android phone being hacked or something, I don't know why people pay so much attention to security updates.

What is the difference between OFFICIAL custom rom and UNOFFICIAL custom rom ?

Anyone plz tell me
Thank you.

Official ROMs are usually better supported and have a quality certificate from the developers. There aren't many official ROMs for lavender now, but for example the unofficial OTA LineageOS is both full-featured and stable enough for daily use.

Why UNOFFICIAL roms are not getting OFFICIAL for lavender ?

Because the devs don't have time to support them. They would need to do it to remain official.

Official roms require commitment from the dev, like periodic updates and not filling the rom with features not present on other devices...
