Why TW based ROM's?

Hi, first of all thanx to all the DEV's that make all the beautiful rom's. I'm just curious why can't the dev's make rom's from CM7 build we have? They can make it better with their flavor.
No disrespect to any of the Dev's. Just wanted to know. I hate TW its killing the phones.

Actually there is a majority of people who like TW (I am not one), and its simple enough to throw away if u dont, so to say its killing out phone is a lil bit rediculous, also from my understanding (haven't used CM Builds l8ly) they change alot rom and kernel side to make it completely incompatible with AOSP/Stock FW, it would be alot of work to say the least, 2 CM7 IS ported I do believe, but still with bugs (ofc).
3 IF u want stock as possible u CAN download launcher2 or launchers developed from it.
4. There is very little pros that outweigh the cons (for me at least) to scrap what I've done and work from a new source, just to rebuild somebody elses and not really ever have it 100% the way u want, all devs code differently
And even though in my case I do like lookin through other devs work jus to see what they did, and maybe see my own swing on it or c if how they did something, but whether or not, the same thing remains, no matter the code, there's multiple ways to do it (usually) and something u do to somebody elses can usually have side effects xD from not knowing how they went about it that's simply probably y u see these roms geared from OTA sources and such is its way to.much effort to simply take a huge project like CM on and expect to get anywhere fast.
Not to say these devs ain't capable, just saying, u would need more then a few devs working on a base..

Thanx for the reply
TW is system wide, so changing the launcher it doesn't make it go away. And I know we have 2 rom's. I was saying why the dev's can't make the cm7 that we have better with their touch.

I never once said just changing the launcher makes it go away...
Its in the framework, ui, everywhere incl widgets that stock can only b used with TW..
But yet again, it is simple enough to get it out for the most part.
And the answer to ur question then is simple, didn't have needed resourses/sources for CM to add it directly, and devs here Probably have similar issues..

cm7 never got completed so the touchwiz roms are the most stable option.

i dunno how is working perfectly for you cm7 for our phones has a bunch of bugs for once you gotta leave gps on all the time..... anything that the phone needs to do landscape basically makes the app foreclose..... bunch of games that make the phone be in landscape is either really buggy or fs instantly..... Doesn't let you record in 1080p video also..... im sorry but you are cutting a bunch of features that the phone brings just to say you on cm7 not 2 smart in my opinion

Agreed its just not an "everyday use" ROM I prefer my TW stripped tank I gut here lmao
Only gut golauncher as home tho... can't w8 for ICS (well, I can, not lookin forward to reworkin all this crap xD).. so usin tablet GUI looks so sick xD wonder y they choose ugly ass colors for stock.. h8ed the green n not big on new blue either..
Haha just found out today after lookin at some of my libs (Never clued in b4) android builds are goin alphabeticly:
Eclaire
Froyo
Gingerbread
Honeycomb
Ice cream sandwich
Wonderin whats next cant think of a desert or entree that starts with "J"

I'm guessing since people are working on ICS and CM9, nobody wants to waste time on CM7. It would be nice to have a fully functional CM7 ROM though.

I don't understand how come I'm not having any force closes? In landscape or in any apps. And I use the phone heavy. Plus you don't have to leave the GPS on all the time. Only when you have to reboot the phone then.

We don't have the source for the CM7 rom, so it is hard to improve it.

Iam not that there is a build from source ive been on aokp since the day it dropped . I ran it on my Evo and tablet for the past months. thats how I got hooked on the soft ket action .. thanks for the advice tho .....

Out of curiosity, what do you use them for? What advantages do they have other than being able to set one key to multitask?

AOKP has it built in Under Rom Control>Navigation Bar>Enable Bar
So yeah, I honestly didn't understand your reply to me, but again. AOKP.

I know how to use them in aokp but thanks

[FIX] Rotation Fix For JB Skyrocket Roms

ERROR 7 WHEN INSTALLING HAS BEEN FIXED!
YOU NEED TO FLASH THIS ZIP EVERY TIME YOU UPDATE YOU ROM
If you've been here long enough you'd know that when you flash a skyrocket rom the rotation is backwards. Now this wasn't a problem when yaldak made a rotation fix for it but sadly it didn't work for jelly bean roms. I've gone ahead and made a rotation fix for the skyrocket jelly bean roms seeing as the jelly bean development for that phone is going blazingly fast. The only thing not working is the camera. I made a flashable zip of it just flash it when you install the rom. I can garuntee you the fix works I've tested it. The zip is attached at the bottom of this thread, there is also a mirror for it. Happy flashing!

When I first moved to Canada I didn't understand the whole milk in a bag thing.. To me it makes more sense to have it in a carton or jug because you need to put the bag in a special jug to use it anyways..

The sensors are in different places on the skyrocket. That's why rotation doesn't work with their kernel. Otherwise they are virtually the same.

Mod that you can flash on any jelly bean rom.

Can you customize the navbar to add more buttons / change shortcuts? That's a feature I can't live without.
nevermind, saw my answer in the other thread. it's aokp based so yes it does.
Any plans to update it to a 4.2 base? I would prefer to stay on the latest.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm definitely checking this out when I wake up, downloaded and ready to go! But just curious, also yes that is toro ported and works just fine.
Edit: Fantastic ROM, has done stuff I've wanted for months.. and that's where it ends. I honestly will not use this ROM until it changes base. AOKP is the worst, that's my opinion but you got yourself a fantastic ROM here. If these apps and various other apks aren't framework dependent then I'll use some in a different ROM.
Again amazing ROM, you have done what I've been trying to do for months and namely the walkman widget is one. I hope you change the base.

It is great, but a little laggy. Will it get faster in the future? As well as this, the themes do not work. Any way to fix this? I am not trying to be mean, and by NO means am I a developer. I am amazed how you got this to work, and just want to help.
EDIT: The lag fixed itself, I dont know what happened. That is fine. Only problem is It wont reboot after first successful boot. It probably is Android Tweaker Pro. It is a great app, but also caused my stock rom to randomly reboot.

To answer a few of your questions. (Im updating thread now to)
1. I do plan on updating to 4.2 just need to update the code a bit and wait for the lockscreen to get ported.
2. Yes its based on AOKP 4.1.2
3. My rom is different because im going to take the time to keep it updated with anything new and im always constantly working on new ports to add to it. Its also more featureful, and its going to support toro and toroplus as soon as i get 4.2 working.
4. WHY YOU HATE AOKP SO MUCH? JK im using any base that i find most stable, im pretty sure im going to switch it for the 4.2 update since AOKP is constantly releasing updates for it and it will be hard to keep up with it.
5. Lag? I really have not noticed any lag besides the Xperia live wallpaper, thats sony's fault for not optimizing the app properly.

This ROM is running great. Loaded lean kernels latest stable 4.8 and all is good. A nice break from AOSP.

Oh, I've never heard of this then lol
The AOKP hate, its opinion but on both devices I've owned they been just so horrible and cheesy.. I don't like that swag button. The features are lacking. Honestly I'm on a stable base of 4.2.2, using Orca. The features are just amazing. I'm guessing because I tried the apks is that a lot of this framework doesn't really work for 4.2.2? I mean this is basically an Xperia ROM. I'm really impressed, I'm really hoping we can eventually get an actual port but I doubt it.
Secretly "I want a W8 port" love the style they use. Call me whacky lol.. But this is awesome you've made a breakthrough, or well your the only person who technically cares to do something like this. So I appreciate it this a lot man.
Edit: 4.1 doesn't bother me, we basically miss out on the status bar features. Just the base.

Just a quick note of congratulations and thanks, +Hyperrunner. I've been with Android since the first G1s were shipped, and this port reminds me of all the really inventive, well-done ports that we saw for the G1 back when other devices and models began to appear. I've been waiting for a really cool port to put on the GNex (which has had excellent but slightly bland firmware as stock from the beginning), and this Xperia port of yours really hits the spot. I think the AOKP base was a great choice. If it plays well with Linux Deploy and continues to be stable, this will become my primary ROM. Thanks a bunch, you deserve donations for your contribution to the Android community!

Thank you this ROM is pretty sweet love the look. Nice to have something other than stock for once

You say there is Bravia Engine, is it just not a setting and always on? If that is the case, awesome.

Yes, bravia engine is always on its more of a configuration then an app. Its always one and it helps display pictures better.
