Hello my Friends,
The time has really come to say Good Bye to all my Wonder Friends. I enjoyed and had a good time with all of you by learning/porting stuff.
I8150 is really a nice phone, but I needed to shift from this phone due to some reason.
Long story short, I spent half of my life in coding, leading teams of software engineers, managing enterprise level ERPs and architecting enterprise level application in all the latest and old languages/technologies. I took out some time and did some porting stuff, but my main target was to develop CM7 from sources.
I have most experience in Java/J2EE and less in C++. I tried to take help from different peoples but my bad luck no one guided me due to lack of time or just for no reason.
Not only from our forum I tried to contacted Exihibit II , Galaxy S Plus but I didn't get positive response, whatever the reason is but no one guide me. I searched myself and read a lot of material on net but not a single guide is perfect. There is no problem with Linux setup, I am use to of it.
I believe in Opensource and helping each other by spreading/sharing knowledge but in my case I couldn't search a person like this.
So I decided to switch (just not for CM7) to a device that have a lot of custom roms.
The porting I did is an asset for all of you. I want the guys should come up and take over the Roms from me. I hope you enjoyed my custom roms. If there is anyone who has some programming experience with smali/backsmali, apktool, understanding rom folders, hands on on merging /diff, ready to take risk of bricking then I will be happy to transfer my knowledge, but due to my tough schedule the person should be expert and self starter.
And finally I would like to special thank @arco, @andyroid, @irishpancake and All my Wonder community members.
Thank You All
i wish i had enough knowledge cuz i really wantd to learn from you but im just a noob at these stufff
but i hope u have a better experience with your new device
I Hate You For This...Really ...With a Poke.... So What is That New Device of Yours ?

wow. wow. I was shocked for a while. what a sad news. how could it be? but thanks, so many thanks for your effort and big contribution in our little community, for porting good rom, for sharing knowledge and many help you did to us, thanks to make our wonder phone more attractive with the rom but yeah, sometime you must move to a larger box while you don't fit anymore in a small one. thanks again alidsd

Hi Ali dsd,
Please stick around as there's no one place or person to obtain this building -information in a reliable and complete form that we're looking for. I too got burnt similarly and still am in process of setting my own build environment based whatever that seemed to work for me from my captures from various blogs, forums and sites.
It's from open minded contributors like you that, when collectively packaged, would effective stuff come and came from. While I respectfully disagree this to be a reason for departure which is quite an expected risk with any open source stuff, I think your presence and continued contribution would benefit others looking to go along your route, though your participation might be less active than earlier.

Don't worry @andyroid, I am not going from XDA, I will be around , I will be checking W forums ( I haven't deleted it from my Fav ) time to time.
Amazingly my new device is not a high end device, Its just Nexus S. I think you will ask why ????
It will save my time . ... How ???? Mostly all types of Rom flavors are there, I just need to flash and use it, and the time I save from here can put on getting some certifications (like PMP, J2EE Architect and MCPD ). Its my decision and it doesn't mean that Nexus S is superior then Galaxy W.
Believe me or not but Galaxy W is an amazing device based on hardware it uses and the small size is very pocket friendly.

I am always here, i can be reached on PM or email.
I have already said that anyone who have some knowledge in porting can contact me , i will happily transfer my knowledge, because sharing knowledge is the major path to increase knowledge and community, but the person should have some experience.
I want someone to continue MIUIv4 and AOKP, or if someone come-up with their own porting version of any Rom then please ask Mod to delete my two threads.
I really appreciate all of your feelings.
Thanks,
AliDSD
Thanks for your great contribution ali, really appreciate it
Nexus s is a great device to fiddle with I'm pretty sure you'll find lots of stuff to learn there

HI alidsd, I understand you, cause I have your same motivation on developing. I studied information tecnology, so I have some knowledgies, but I'm new with android and I'm trying to do somenthing with my rom. I have your main target, build cm7 from source, but as u said there isn't a guide that really help in this, and for me is difficult to begin with it.
So now I have begininng to first port some mods to a gb rom, then to learn how to create a kernel and to port a complete rom. After these steps I like to begin cm7 from source, but I know is really hard.
I also have to say that it is demotivating to see there aren't much developers for our phone, that we haven't ICS from Samsung and at this time we haven't a complete ICS rom, while there is a new android version so probably i never work on cm7, too old...and for this, i was thinking it was better if I took a nexus s....however i can't change phone for now, so i continue to study and develop for my W...but in future the only phone i'll buy should be a nexus or a phone with more contribute from community...
Goodbye Ali and good luck with your new phone
Friend alidsd :crying:
I am so sad to see you are moving on....I know it will be for the better for you and your career!!!!!
Thank you for mentioning me in your OP, I really appreciate it.....
[I have been missing recently, due to that health issue....but things are OK, and will hopefully stay that way....God willing]
The old community loses another member with such skills, first qzem, KP, now you!!!! [apologies to any others left out, no offence!!]
All the best for the future, and do drop by whenever you get time, it was really good!!!!
Cheers man :good: :good:
yo alidsd,,
well i guess this is not a goodbye coz you're still gonna be around here:].,but still have to say thanks for all your great works by porting some wonderful ROMs..Wonder's forum still open for your advice anytime you have,,
happy porting buddy..
regards,
kidd
i was motivated by your words Alisd, i really was serious and dreamed to learn more about android, i wanted to try what bagux was doing but i ain't got enough time for it. i was amazed and never imagined that a person whose managing software engineers also tried tweaking our W XD i'm just a beginner software engineer about 6months old on work and specialized in VB and for some reasons i can say i also am at Cobol, i was still trying to learn now despite of the schedule i have and i am starting it on making android apps for now and maybe tweaking in the future. can i ask what company are you working?
UPDATE
UPDATE
I got rid of Nexus S and bought HTC Desire S. Most of you will be wondering Why ???, a lot of reasons. if anyone have interest to know then he can PM me.
I would suggest guys not to go for Nexus S now, its not a good time, it could be debatable but its my personal opinion. All of the Roms that are available for NS are also available for DS.
At last Galaxy W is a good phone, so please stick with it till you find a better phone according to your needs.
Because I have been part of this community so I thought that I should update my community.
Thanks,
I am glad to read opinions about me, you are all wonderful people.
@irishpancake, I am really concerned about your health , please take care, and update your health status so our community can pray for you. God bless on you.
I am happy to see that Alex (from Galaxy S+) has ported MIUIv4 successfully , and I hope he will also port AOKP and other CM9 based Roms from S+ to W.
Its great, I believe :
Every threat comes with opportunity.

Hello All.
This is my first posting.
Is there a wp8 rom (look alike) for a samsung galaxy s 4 I9505.
Indeed I am newbie to custom roms but have been playing the last couple of months.
If someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction to a rom that matches WP8 as close as possible, I would be very grateful
Background:
I have searched the forum and there are some many different roms too choose from.
Tried Cyangomod - that is pretty great but not what I was looking for.
Have since upgraded my phone to KitKat,and I am very happy with it.
Purchased and tried many metro launchers, but again, they are not what I am looking for.
Thanks

As far as a WP8 ROM, that doesn't exist. You can browse the Play Store though for WP8 launchers... that's the best you'll be able to find.
Wow surprised

Thanks for the reply lordcheeto03 - most appreciated.
I currently am running a launcher but launcherss are not what I am looking for, ideally I would like a port of wp8, but I know that hasn't been done.
Just so I understand correctly: There are no custom ROMs that mimic wp8?

Since first joining Xda and asking for a possible WP8 rom for my SGS4, I have been on a mini journey of exploration. and I would like to conclude this thread, in case someone else has the same request as mine. I would like to say - Drop WP8 as quick a you can and climb on bord the Android band wagon. The roms available far surpass anything you could possible want.
I have tried a frew now, and have decided to stick with Phoepnix with a Miui loader and the themes are especially fun and fresh .
Thank you XDA

hi there.. i'm new here..
i want to flash lollipop on my girlfriend's phone.. i have no clue.
which one is better in battery and performance and bug free?
it's important.. if anythings goes south she'll kill me i guess.. loves her phone more than me..
E988 i think. kitkat is on her phone now..
hi there.. really? nobody knows?
Nobody cares! People ask which ROM is the best question too many times, enough to form it's own threads, so if you really need somebody to tell you which is the best, use the search function. Otherwise my suggestion is to try different ROM, start out with the official ones such as blisspop and cm12. All the ROM here is mostly based on cm, I'm currently using Bliss pop, which is the best ROM IMO. Which is just my opinion, and that's why nobody cares to reply because it's just an opinion.

thanks man for reply.. at least there are some people who own these phone tried some rom and know about the bugs or ect..
i own g pro 2 and happy to help out.. but a quick and short answer does not kill anyone..we are here to learn and teach and share..
Sure thing, but this device is getting up there in term of smart phone years, also the number of subscribers have decreased in recent months because they too have move on to other devices. Those are two reasons why no one replies to you.

Hi,
i searched but couldn't find an actual muiu ROM for the Nexus 5X. It is possible to port miui 9 or 10 to the 5X or will this not work? I thought that maybe the hardware would be a problem.
Thanks

Just why?????
Buy an Huawei it's cheaper.
I hate this software like the developpers so there will be no build though it's possible to do.
Really aosp is far better and if you want the overlay just apply a theme from substratum.
Didn't know that huwai phones can be flashed with miui. I try the substratum thing for now.
Thanks

Yeah sorry I have so little interest for miui/emiui that I said sth wrong, anyway it's not in my habits to not help people in xda but when it comes to this kind of question I become a lion haha.
More seriously I'm pretty sure that nobody will port miui/emiui (that are same for me ahha) so your only chance is to buy these chinese devices.
If you tell me why you would want this kind of rom on your device I can guide you to flash themes or how to add the features you would like but I suggest you to flash a good aosp ROM or lineage and then just apply a theme.
Again, sorry for being agressive with this request but my brother have an huawei and I folllowed the development of it on xda and telegram and really these chinese devices are **** for open source...(even if it's seems that xiaomi is not so bad contrary to huawei ).
No problem. All good
