Problem w roms

After checking topics with many roms I notice that developers here for some strange reason love to make alot of "addons" to thier roms and putting them on some not working, outdated hostings in the same time they put main files in some normal places like github, sorceforge. Is this global xda politic or I was just simply unlucky to check roms made by ppl that have totaly no idea where to upload files?
If by any chance anyone got working copy of addons to ILWT CM7 and SuperWipeG2+ext4 (because again everybody just link to some lame topic with outdated/not working links) I would be truly happy.

right now im on cloudyg3 rom so i cant attach any screenshots from my phone
and about bugs when i was using the roms it was ok with my except the screen rotation it sometimes stuck
at the end its my first thread here so im a beginner

i think this isn't right place to put in development section maybe in general section. this isn't ur work just kinda like repost from G2 recruitment color os

I was thinking the same thing that's why i asked the difference. I don't have the ability to compare the 2 until tomorrow. Maybe one of the mods can look into this and decide whether or not to close the thread.

The one based on cm 10.1 is an unofficial port.. This is an official coloros coming directly from oppo

Then why can't i find it on the color os official website or find the g2 on the device list?

My apologies to android_for_all if me asking about the two roms made them upset or mad. I will admit that me jumping to conclusion was very wrong on my part. As i said in the other thread I've been a very long time member and seen us lose great people for things that i was asking about. Please accept my apology and continue the great work. Please get it working for us d801 users so we can give it a try.

Has anybody tried to install this on any other model of G2 than international and install a compatible kernel? Hmm, will it even install on another model?

So Color OS is now officially available for D802?

@ OP

there's no way he would providing rom sources and OP doesn't know what Beta Tester mean, just hoping oppo dont get mad because of this

Installed D802 on my D803 and tried every JB kernel for the G2 I could find and still does not work, looks like for any other model than a few that are listed in the install along with D802 will have to wait for another release and hope that release will work with your model.
It will install but I could not find a compatible kernel to make boot up with my D803.

Lenovo A7600 Rom - Lollipop

Would be very grateful for a link for Lenovo A7600 Rom for Lollipop O/S. A link other than that posted in 3 parts on a spam site.
Thanks

Ive just picked up one of these tablets and managed to root it and install custom revcovery.
To be honest I think there are zero custom ROM for this device and the supposed Lollipop ROM on those spam sites are bound to be a load of virus. I have seem three or four such 3 part download sites all of which are hidden behind a survey. All the comments on the sites are exactly the same but are posted by different people depending what site you look at which indicates they can't be trusted.
I have tweeted Lenovo to see if they plan a Lollipop update but no reply yet.
I think we need to either need to learn how to port or find a dev that can do it

Really nice to see your response, would you be kind enough to inbox me with your custom recovery. I really need to even get the stock rom to reflash if you could help. Thanks so much for replying and if we can get someone interested in porting to LP i would happy to contribute.

There isn't a Lollipop ROM yet for A7600f. It is possible to root and get custom recovery installed but as far as I can tell there is no official lollipop update or custom ROM development at all

Legit?

I checked the link and it is for the S8 smartphone which also as model number A7600. If you have that smartphone you test it at your own risk but if you are talking about a rom for A7600F tablet it won't be compatible.
As Lenovo don't seem to be official updating the A7600F tablet im guessing we need a custom rom. Unfortunately I don't think it's that popular a tablet so won't pull in developers and regrettably I'm not skilled enough to even know where to start.

I received the s8 a7600 with android 5.0 - it looks like that OS is just installed by seller, with multiple application that are a huge adware/spam generators. I tried to remove all (root/remove apps), but it destroys a little the functionality (dialer has opacity - not so easy to find what is going on, camera not working at all). But generally works. If anyone has skills - I am sure it can be easy fixed (for example install 3rdparty dialer - but that one from lenovo is pretty fine). But I think I will update phone with stock ROM, but I need to find how to do that safely and be sure I can back to the actual software...

A bit of a necro here ...
Yep, it is a long-winded guide. I wrote everything as best I could just in case.
I'd be surprised if more than 5 people are still looking to root this device. But for those folks, I updated the guide tonight.
I hadn't used the tablet much until this past week, my phone was doing better and I was only using the tablet for streaming videos as a portable TV. However my phone died and I finally got around to re-rooting the tablet (I has lost root after applying an OTA update about a year ago).
And no, there are not any custom ROMs ... no Lollipop ... no Marshmallow ... never Nougat ... for this tablet. This guide is PURELY for getting root on 4.4.
That said, here is the short version ... this MAY work on a never-rooted A10 A7600F ... it may only work to REFRESH the root. I have no good way of knowing as there isn't a chance in hell I'm going to revert everything to stock to find out
Glad to know at least 10 people got help from the guide.
UPDATE 9/22/2016:
Revised Steps are simple:
* Download Kingo Root (not King Root, that failed) APK version for Android.
* Run Kingo Root.
* If it fails, reboot, and try again (mine failed the first time)
* Assuming Kingo Root worked the second time (if not, see the original detailed steps below) ... DON'T REBOOT yet (when I did this, the root disappeared, so I had to run Kingo Root a 3rd time)
* Install a Root Checker and verify root access
* Install (first time) or uninstall and re-install (updating is fine if yours was out of date) SuperSU by Chainfire (other SuperSU may or may not work, Chainfire worked for me)
REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to verify root access (don't run Kingo Root before this) ... it should be using SuperSU to grant root, NOT Kingo
* If rooted, uninstall Kingo Root
* REBOOT
* Re-run Root Checker to make sure SuperSU continued to work after removing Kingo Root.

There are multiple "A7600" devices out there. This is specifically for the A7600F, aka the A10. Different device, ROMs not compatible with other A7600 devices. Lenovo can burn in hell both for their lack of updates as well as their naming conventions.

Hi all,
I have ported a CM13 ROM to this device to bring us to Android 6.0.1. if anyone is interested I will start a thread for and provide instructions and a link later today.

karthick's cm14.1 is it 4 real?

I've searching for karthick111's cm11 folder, then i saw a folder called "cm14.1" with a zip called "cm14.1-20161220UNNOFICIAL-nevisp" and i downloaded and flashed it but it bootloops :'v
Does anybody know if it's usable or a wip?
Pd. There a bootable cm13 rom that i'm using to write this :v

Yeah... I have just flashed it, but it has been in a bootloop for 20+ minutes already. Needless to say, this is probably a test/WIP CM14.1 build that @karthick mostwanted is testing for the Galaxy Fame to see if it will work at all. From what I am aware of, later CM ROMs (CM13, 14, and 14.1) will not work as well as they should on this device as it is low-end and doesn't have the RAM or processing power that is required, however, CM13 is fairly usable from what I have tried, but I still find the CM11 (KitKat 4.4.4) ROMs to be the best. Then again, it is always good to keep and eye on and test the latest builds that the developers release, as I have seen some older devices get ROMs which shouldn't work on them because of their hardware, but do, because the developer is able to configure it to make it work.

I'm disappointed
I don't know why everyone being stalkers
The work is not even done yet and u guys are posting it here without my permissions
Yes in next build I will try to brick the device badly if this persists again
If the work is done I will share it for sure
Don't irritate developers by doing this way

Fair enough, but I assumed that since it was publicly available to view and download, then it should be okay to publicly discuss about the development surrounding the ROM/s, but I guess not.
Thank you for the time and effort you put into these builds and the continuation of custom ROM development for this device.

New section for oreo stuffs

Dear Admins,
Can we have a separate section for oreo related moda, apps and themes... This will ensure users from installing unsupported stuffs as wells as to avoid getting bricked/boot loop. This can also be used as a one stop place to look for oreo related stuffs...

really ...anyone who gets a brick because of not reading a thread certainly shouldnt be xda or even messing around with the phone in the first place. just stay stock if you wont read

We survived finely when Nougat was still new, so what makes Oreo special?
There's simply no good point to making a whole section for a particular version of Android. The same thing can be done simply with a proper thread title.
The problem isn't purely on the lack of separation of sections — It's the 5 seconds attention span that most seems to have because they can't read the first post of the thread they're in or they're too busy looking at butterflies and they ended up destroying their device and/or data inside the device.
I know we can't fix people, but that doesn't make for a good argument for creating a new section.

As stated. This is not gonna happen. If you cant do the proper research needed for what you are doing then you shouldnt be doing it in the first place.

I disagree with OP - there shouldn't be separate section for Oreo stuff. Ask yourself - what would happen, if released mod would be compatible with Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo?

Okay, now that's not going to happen. But what can happen is in every thread the op can state the supported android versions first or the rom's android version first and then state what is the thread for (rom, mod, source code...). Something like "[7.1.1][ROM] Resurrection Remix 5.8.4 SomethingTweaks Edition" and not "[OH YEAH BABY WE SUPPORT COLOR ENGINE] CrazyManiacLunatic Tweaks". All the OPs should first give the supported android version or the rom android version then state what is the thread about and then write the rom that they are based on then write the name that they've given. But they MUST write the android version and the thread's reason to exist at first. Because this way when you are looking for an oreo rom you just have to look inside the first bracket and find it quickly instead of checking each thread's name to first find out where is the version and then looking at the version.

Yeah that is not gonna happen either. This gets brought up every few years and the answer is always the same. The devs can name their threads anything and any way they want. Heck they don't have to encludes any info at all.
People seem to forget that this is a developers site. Not a rom site or a support site. You are expected to do your own homework and have all the info you need before flashing. That encludes how to use command line to recover from something bad happening.

Well, developers love mentioning how they won't take responsibility if anything happens in every single thread over a million times but they seem to forget that people are looking for most basic info in the OP post. Developing can only be achieved if you acknowledge something and share it with others. The progress can not be achieved without information. I'm not going to flash a rom just to see if it is a Nougat or an Oreo rom. And I'm not going to flash all versions of modems to see which is the right one. Developers and maintainers must inform casual users or other developers about what is they are looking at. Sharing is caring. Not everybody likes to use something they don't know.
