Develop Bugs

New ROM/Dev

Hey, guys. I am looking to to start developing a ROM this summer. I wanted some input from you guys on what kind of stuff you wanted in it. I want to do something DIFFERENT. Please don't expect me to make AOKP 2.0 or anything like that. This will be my first ROM ever and I want to make something cool, and learn more as I do it. Any suggestions are welcome, but I don't want any crap. Thanks guys.

First off good luck to ya! I have dipped my toes in some of the dev'ing world but have never had enough time to get fully immersed.
Second, keep it fun. From what I can tell most of the devs that keep doing it for the long run enjoy what they are doing, and generally don't get too caught up in the drama.
Finally, I would like a ROM that is just different. I don't know how to describe it right now, but going from CM9 to AOKP to Gummy just feels like I am just changing a couple features. I would love a ROM that is just nothing like anything out there right now. Like I said, I don't know how you could do that but i'm sure there is stuff out there.

The funny part is that people actually want that.

Hi,
It may be hard to build a new rom different from the others.Each rom here provides everything that one can hope,stock to highly customisable (maybe a little bloated),fast,light,themed,etc...
I think it's good to start to ask for ideas and opinions but keep mainly your own ideas because if you take into account all the ideas of everyone,once started you cannot do it to please everyone...
I think the most people here want a fast/customisable rom but we have already a big choice...Take a look in the dev section to check what all rom proposes...
For me no more idea of what I would like more than my actual rom or others I've tested...
Maybe like the most here a fast,light and clean rom,customisable but just the necessary (navbar,toggles,lockscreen) and maybe a themed rom directly (the risk of not pleasing everyone).But the problem is this kind of rom already exists...Arghh,hard!Just find a balance between pure stock and highly customisable.A kind of Revolution rom (by Mike1986) with the mods I said above.
Some users wants almost pure stock...but with 2/3 things customisable not a full customisable rom,maybe look at it,in this direction?
It's just my opinion,I never build a ​​rom but when you look into the dev section sometimes the devs must pull out his hair (sorry,Google translate for this ).
But in any case good luck

Build roms with Superhero Themes....
Sent from a phone...

Go beyond the standard launcher. Create a hub that will blow people away with it's usability/features/difference/etc..
Taking theming to the next level, passed MIUI.
Create your own widgets that are excellent to use and optimized as can be.
Also, make an awe inspiring Messaging app. One that's fast, themable, that let's you set a signature properly, and has a decent pop up. (People claim GoSMS to be too bloated.)
Code your own set of widgets into the notification pull down (not just toggles).
Build it using linario, if possible.
Create your own, integrated and optimized, rom manager.
Code dragging up on the navigation bar to have more controls/other goodies.
Create a clean looking (but themable) lock screens with short cuts to essential apps. And add a cool animation or two.
Oh, and good luck on your first rom!

Something visually different. All these roms have tons of features, but they still look like AOSP. I'm not saying full out port Touchwiz or Sense 4 (which I would love btw) but make it look different.

Try working on a Sense 4 or GSIII Touchwiz port

What are your qualifications?
Not taking a pot shot or being douchey. Just wondering.
Without knowing that, people will throw every ridiculous idea at you without knowing what you are or are not capable of.

This is bordering on being a hype thread way before development has begun
But seriously, Google would have been the first place to start. And there are PLENTY of "so you wanna build (insert rom name) for the galaxy nexus" threads. So if you can't build from someone else's source yet, than this thread is pointless in its own way.
good day.

I know how to build from source.
To Adrynalyne: no much tbh. Pretty much just what I've picked up from my time on here and from friends. I figure I need to start somewhere lol.

Has the devs given up on the Eptouch?

The rom selection is not very good and the roms themselves are full of issues save for the gb ones.

Wtf are u talking about? We have a few JB roms out. we have as much dev support as any phone on XDA!!!!

U are confusing. Not sure what planet u are on or what universe. Samsung/sprint put out a ****ty update and u want the devs to fix it? U know most devs don't do this for a living right ? Also we have a huge assortment of roms. We have atleast 7 roms active being updated daily . Plus cm9 and now JB which one is cm10 and posted and one is not cuz of people like u whining that a alpha ROM has bugs

I am running agats tFE22_v0.1.0
Just an issue of losing wifi when the phone goes to deep sleep, but other than that it's great.
No real development recently though, except people theming roms and calling themselves developers
We should have a few stable builds of jelly bean soon? If you want loads of choices in roms maybe switch to a GSM phone

Why is that the best response to this lol.......I am just trying to point it out lol
So far the worthwhile roms are touched by gs3, aokp and cm9.....cm10 now lol but that is laggy maybe its my phone who knows
The other two are well on the way to being amazing just need stability responsiveness and MHL ability
Also why isnt the CM9 for our phone official? ATT version is.....

You're blind........ The clear and only choice, Blu Kuban. It blows everything else out of the water. Like somebody else said, get a new phone or you can develop your own rom to your specifications.

Well I've flashed a lot of roms since I got my S3 and this is what I'd recommend if your looking for Stability/Performance/Battery:
Stock TW ICS Roms:
- Wanam Lite Rom
- FreeGS3 R6
Stock TW JB Roms:
- XquizIt LI8v2 Base v20
- Frosty Jellybean
I'm sure there are also stable CM9 roms if your looking for a vanilla ICS feel but I prefer the stock touchwiz so I've never flashed any of those type of roms. I've flashed a couple CM10 based roms that have vanilla JB but they have bugs aren't as stable IMO. I haven't tried every rom available but I've tried a good amount and these are the ones that I found myself returning to/currently using.

Great answer dude! You're quite the contributor to this community.
To OP: If you don't want ICS, a Stock Jellybean ROM should convince you do flash a ROM because you know, it's Jellybean.
Or if you don't like Touchwiz, you can flash an AOSP ICS or Jellybean ROM because you know, AOSP.

It's funny how you are self-centered enough to think someone on the internet that calls you out for being a smartass is "following" you. Try being useful and helping someone other than being a douchebag, and I won't call you out whenever I see you being one.

I'm running AOKP and in all honesty i find it to be about the same speed.. pretty stable (not 100%, but a good 98% )
It's just the extra toggles that come with the roms.. battery%, weather, notification bar toggles, LCD density.. tablet mode eh.. yeah..
oh.. and supposedly battery life is better with custom roms/kernels.. (though for me honestly I have yet to experience a REALLY notable difference)
If you have rooted and flashed roms before, why not try now? You can always backup your stock incase you aren't happy.
but if you have never flashed.. and you're happy with stock, just wait until the official JB release comes out..

This place never changes #sigh this is the first phone since HTC Wing I have been satisfied enough with the experience to run stock. I will prolly root just for Titanium and stuff like that but maybe wait for JB. I have been really enjoying a flawless experience without constantly monkying around.

Best Available ROM for S3 ?

Which is the best available ROM for Sprint Samsung S3.
I have tried MIUI, found it ok. But didnt like the Apple style Home page. Any other ROM. Tried Viper, but I am not a big fan of Blue.
Please help.

Cmon now there's like 1000 of these posts that have been locked, and like Kenny says every rom is the best each one responds differently on every phone. so go to the development section and start trying them out.

An idea: Why not have one thread (it can be a sticky on top) that allows for people to post their experiences with ROMs. That way, people can read up on pros and cons in that thread. We could even look to have a poll for people to vote. I think there should be a good summary section of all these ROMs so people can narrow their options down a little.
The People's ROM has been my daily so far, BTW.

Actually thats the rom thread already. A rom i run on my phone might not run the same way on your phone, so feedback on pros and cons of a rom depends on the user phone. Its not hard looking through a changelog and comments/feedback to pick out a rom of choice.

Cruise threads. Find a rom, read what people have said (last few post typically) flash and try for yourself. These threads pop up and get taken down almost daily. Please spend a bit of time trying them out and reading a bit on them. You will find a good fit.
The Peoples rom (either one) and freegs3 are great. And morphology (in themes) allpws you to make it yours.

You just have to try them out, theres no "rom selection guide for harismahesh" out there, because no one but YOU can be the ultimate judge in whether a rom is the best fit for your needs or for your particular usage.

The liquidsmooth ROMs are pretty good

Do you like AOSP? Do you like stock? Do you like themed ROMs? Are you looking for something stable? What's your definition of stable?
Everyone is different. You have to explore and find what fits you. We are all unique.

I have had lots of luck with Phantom Hacker's roms. As others have noted though, lots of great developers here. Everything is personal preference
Living my life's not hard enough,
Burn me alive inside

Honestly it depends on what you're looking for if you're looking for a true Android experience or if you like the TouchWiz experience or any other launcher for that matter.
Personally I like wicked sensations which is a TouchWiz rom and everything seems to work good on it including wifi tether in TouchWiz which is a rare thing to find. I will warn you that wicked sensations is way overly themed so if you want something a little more stock you may want to try blazer ROM the only catch is that wifi tethering is not working.
If you're looking for something that isn't TouchWiz you may want to try Cyanogen mod I know it's kind of mainstream and all but it works and it's generally what I look for it's more of a pure Android experience and everything works including wifi tethering USB tethering.
With that being said I would recommend trying a bunch of different ones make sure you're comfortable with flashing your phone before doing this. Every ROM has its flaws and benefits just make sure your verifying that it's for your phone before flashing.

LEGENDARY was a great rom! Now that was over a year ago, a different device and Gingerbread. This and the chocolate, vanilla and strawberry post are the reasons that this question while at the moment you thought about it it sounded right but it's really useless. Every one who advised you to go to the Development threads and read and try them out is right.
By the way I like 'Rocky Road'

I'm highly interested in seeing what can come of this. i also wonder if dastin or any other E4GT developers are going to try and get it running on our devices.
Seeing what Cyanogen has been doing recently with licensing contributed code and attempting to monetize it really is refreshing to see these devs who have done so much for the entire Android community come together and try and pick up the pieces, and put the community first and foremost.

They have actually added a thread for the ROM already (in Custom ROM Central) with Q&A and General, it also has a Feature Development section... They are going fully open with it and I think that is awesome. They already have an impressive list of features like multi window and multi workspace. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on what's going on there.

Here is the feature request page-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481825

I just finished reading up on it and saw something about multi app windows for aosp I was mind blown!

I haven't made any announcements yet but I'm going to look at this for the Sprint S4.
Slick_rick is already working on it for the N2 so it's the best place for me to start on it.
Might as well get ChameleonOS back on track too.

Unfortunately, Omni will not be available for our device until they can incorporate the support for unified kernels. I tried and failed miserably lol.

That's correct, loving this phone for over 2 years now, it can change looks in minutes, it calls, texts, takes great pics and does everything a newer phone does, but a bit slower. I can live with that...
