Welcome! You'll find that, for the most part, we're welcoming and nice. A lot of the time you'll find answers to whatever questions/issues you have in the Q&A Section. Just do a search or browse through and you'll find what you're looking for.
I love all the various ROMs in the two developers sections. You can see what I'm currently running in my sig, but there's a ton of awesome ROMs there.
Hope you enjoy your stay here at XDA!

Any news on FROYO for desire yet ?

any devs/mods here working on porting froyo to desire or not ??? if yes, we all wanna know their progress... i mean they may feel bit relaxed if they leak their success & failures step by step....
we are very curious to know & play with froyo..... kindly keep us updated about froyo development....
Have you even looked in the Desire Android Development section ?!
Are you serious!?
The devs have been releasing builds of Froyo for AGES now!
Perhaps a quick search or even a browse around the forum would have avoided this pointless thread! lol
hehe.... all i am asking is latest FRF83 build based custom ROMs.... with fully working functions including video recording at 720p & wifi N hack..all these r available ??? dont i know that i can search in dev thread & after searching there only i am asking here....
all i asked here was the news about the development stages & what devs have achieved & what they have failed.... that is interesting to know.... i am not as foolish as some people point me to look at somewhere instead of asking for froyo builds in general section....
mind you guys, pls read my heading & its content.... then u r at ur liberty to comment wisely.....

5 minutes or less reading the initial post of the FRF83 roms in the development forum would answer all of these questions
Consider this response wise
I fear many people around here can't read ---- or use a simple search button
In the good old days people helped others on forums.. now i see a lot of flamming and cant U read answers. Lets keep helping eachothet instead of replying useless answers.
To be fair there's not much help anyone could give. If he's been away from the forums for the last few weeks and hasn't seen the news on various blogs about FroYo then he's not as interested as he's made out, and his search skills are lacking. Not much anyone can do about him not being able to use Google or this sites built in search.
i'm currently using DeFrost 1.4 and it's wicked. other than the camcorder not working, it seems fine. I'm sticking with it for the moment. BUT BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL ROM!!!

The OP has already been pointed to the correct place to look by the first respondent.
In the good old days, people actually bother to read the forum rules and tried to help themselves before starting pointless threads.....

Dave
In the good old days, people weren't as *****y.
He's asking if anyone's working on a (presumably semi-functioning) ROM built from the 2.2 source, not a Nexus port.

Forum reorganization thoughts

not trying to be mean or anything and probly will get bashed, but I had a thought about how to organize the forums so the questons asked would get an answer faster and with more accurate information.
what if we were to have a question and answer part in each of the roms instead of asking in the genereal q and a
you know sort of like each dev would be able to see all the problems that their rom is currently having.
and it would also help the people running those roms see all the current questions.
we should also have a section for the people who are on stock roms unrooted
I personally think it would help in diagnosing issues if they arrise.
I agree on a rom q and a but inside the development thread. Have rom thread ie bonsai and then a bonsai q and a thread with the most repeated q and a's on the op. This is more work for the devs and entirely up to them. It will help out in organization instead of cluttering a development thread with the same question. have the main thread for dl link, changelog, install instructions, possibly bug reports (some have a dedicated page for this) and that's it.
Edit: and most importantly feedback.

To do that, it would need to be reorganized such that roms would each get their own subforum. Then, they could have a "get the new version here" thread, a "general info" thread, and then all the random individual threads. If you have seen how mod forums are organized at civfanatics, you know what I'm talking about.
Lately, I've been thinking we need a "Guides and FAQs" section. Make everyone post guides being worked on in a "works in progress" subforum and then a mod can move completed guides to the main forum. We might be able to get a nice little knowledge base here if a few people wanted to chip in and write out a lot of what we have learned.

srsly? we cant even get the one overworked mod to move much around as it is.
Which is why I haven't previously suggested the idea.
But, seriously, we need a couple more good mods who want to help build a community here. I know how tough it is. I've been around a lot of forums, both good and bad. It can be hard to find people who are both willing to do the job and mature enough to do it well.

[Q] TO ROOT OR NOT TO ROOT...The life of a N00b!

Yah...so I am infatuated with customizing my phone. Always have been since I had a Blackberry 8310. AT&T wasn't provided anymore updates for my phone back then...so I did it myself by forum hunting. But updating the Blackberry seems easy as cutting cake than rooting an android phone. So, here I am with my Galaxy Samsung III...and I have begun researching how to root. All the steps make me nervous. I have installed theme launchers, and widgets...but my phone just is not customized enough. I want FULL control. I want to have pink or blue font used in my status bar if I want to. I have tried apps to do this...but I am a perfectionist.
Is there a "Root Your Phone For Dummies" manual????

Sorry for posting in the wrong section. It was not intentional. I do, in fact, utilize the search function very well. This is a very large forum and it is difficult at times to find beneficial and resourceful information without searching for hours on end. I have noticed there are not-so-patient members who have attitude problems. In the midst of trying to weed through threads with questions and responses that didn't help me, I decided to start a thread hoping a nice person would point me in the right direction; which they did. :good: I must have clicked the wrong section because of my frustration and confusion. I admit...I am a n00b when it comes to flashing and rooting....but using a forum is something that I have experience in as I use to run one myself.
I hope I don't get reprimanded for not posting the above information in the "Introduce Yourself" section. Sorry in advance.
No we understand sometimes it can get overwhelming trying to search for something. Be patient and see even if you open a thread if you do it in the right section you will have success. There are thousands of members in XDA ready to help others. We where all noobs at one time.
Have a great day!

[Q] Andoid 4.4 Kitkat

Hello guys, I have finally flashed this amazing 4.4 KitKat rom on my s4, thanks to albinoman887 ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520972 . I have problems with emoji support though. I only see several emoji's.
Is there any way to fix this ??
Example : http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8yyhta8fcnc93vx
WIFI on 4.4 issues
Hi Guys,
I just flashed the 4.4 Kitkat for my GS4 from [ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4 KitKat [UNOFFICIAL] [Nov-11]. Everything work well except for my wifi. It finds my wifi but it keeps on failing to connect to it. Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Guys 4.4 is really new and really buggy. I wouldn't even recommend it as a daily driver as of now. I suggest you go back to 4.3 and edit until 4.4 had been worked on a bit more

There are also multiple threads on CM11 right now. No need for a new one asking questions that are answered repeatedly in the others.
I searched a a lot about this but couldnt find an answer anywhere. This is the reason I created the topic about this.
Otaku, I know mate but Im just trying some stuff out. I dont like to stop at 1 rom and use it for a long time, it's just way too boring.

I'm gonna go ahad and call shenanigans on your claim that you searched a lot.
The main thread for CM11 int eh development forum has roughly 9 bagillion posts about emoji issues with the ROM. Any search for "CM11 emoji" would have shown you countless posts from that thread alone on this topic.
When you signed up here you agreed to search before posting. Please uphold that promise.

and your just asking for a spanking from one of the mods with that line of thinking. Rules are there for a reason, follow them or dont post on the site.

[Disclaimer] READ ME!

This forum is NOT a forum for your to request Lineage for your device! It's a forum for the discussion of development of LineageOS. These thread I'm already seeing pop up about people asking for Lineage posts are ridiculous. This isn't a place to come and ask for people to port ROMs to your device, so please don't treat it as such. Thank you.
Oh god I hate seeing everyone requesting ROMs! I know right now I'm making an irrelevant post as it does not help anybody but I'm so pissed about it! I have no idea about how to build a ROM so I just read and wait, and not harass developers.. People are just becoming more and more dumb, impatient and selfish... Ow I don't have the words but thank you OP for posting this, I hope some will read this and it will stop them from posting ****ing requests! Have a good day anyway..
So delete the other threads asking and create a thread just for that. There are too many people who feel lost and abandoned by CM. They just want answers, don't knock them for being interested and active users. Just don't get mad, everyone is here to learn.

At this stage that thread would be worthless. This group is still in the organizational stage. First and foremost will be to attempt to build for devices that had existing official CM support.
A thread with people posting "Please build for Galaxy Note 4..." Or "Can someone make ROM for...." would be as useful as a list of all Android devices. No one is going to answer in that thread stating "in the works" or anything like that.
Most of the info is in the FAQ and people need to be patient and allow this project to get off the ground.
Thanks for understanding

great work
Just want to say a big thank you for continuing the good work of CM ROMs. We all appreciate it.
We all need to understand the massive task of picking up the pieces of CM, and making a new product called lineage really is?
Just remember how much volume CM had. The wait will be worth it,
Time will heal the wounds!
And a lot of hard working developers.
Customizing your device the way you want is priceless.

Clock in LineageOS
Hello friends,
By personal reasons I have to wake up in the morning by my phone, an Oneplus One. The last OS on my phone was a CM-13 Marshmallow... but I want to install Lineage OS... Ok, I've tried many Lineage based ROM's, but no one can wake up my phone from power off. Only the latest version of nightly Lineage (lineage-14.1-20170821-nightly-bacon-signed) can do this... But is a problem, a big problem for me... it wakes up the phone, but it's stucked on boot! It's booting for ever!
So, please, can anyone help me with anything to solve this problem? I'll appreciate any kind of help, suggestions, anything!
Or, maybe is planed an update for Lineage who can solve this kind of problems? Please, help me!
Thank you!
Hello XDA,
I have an Oneplus One phone, and, just now I installed the last version of Lineage OS and the afferent gapps. Everything goes fine, I had installed a few apps and I restart it... Now I'm looking at the display with "Android is starting"... but it never starts! I'm waiting for about a half an hour... Sometimes it pop-ups me with something like "Clock stopped working, System UI stopped working, Calendar....."... So, I cannot enter in the system. Where did I go wrong, what should I do to resolve this problem? I installed the Lineage twice... same problem, no difference...
Edited...
Finaly, it starts.... after a new installation... but now all the apps, android services, system UI.... everything "... has stopped" Again, I cannot enter in my system...
Can anybody help me, please?! Thank you.
