Due to all the love the T989 still gets from Devs, I was wondering if any of them are planning on making an Android Go custom rom for our lovely phones.
I still have 2 of them to try the roms out on if any accomplished Devs are willing to make one for it.
Thanks in advance!

I badly want to help get CM9 working, or at least learn from trying, on the T-Mobile variant of the GS3. I'm a pretty decent hacker, but I know I don't have enough / any experience with the Android OS / Kernel development to work on the GSM/LTE portions of the ROM. However, I feel that if someone could help me and anyone else interested to get the toolchain setup and source properly downloaded, we could help with the easier portions of the ROM and learn a little about the complex portions of the ROM just by watching what the more experienced devs are doing.
Right now, it seems like ...maybe.. a few people are working on their own rather than a collaborative effort (except the Sprint variant that has Team Epic working on a ROM). I don't want to slow progress by taking up a bunch of valuable dev time, but if one person could just help get some of the less experienced people off the ground, we could probably accelerate this effort...
In the meantime, would you guys mind posting some links to the best resources you have found for getting started building CM or even building Android in general? It doesn't really matter if it's a guide for a different device. I have searched but there is so much information missing in sources I have found.
Thank You,

Count one more.
I would love to get involved. I have a good amount of Linux and C experience (7+ years), but need a good place to start with Android ROM development (specifically for the GS3).

From what I understand, they are sorting it out for Sprint but T-Mobile is much different because it's GSM. Here is their reply to me when I asked if there would be CWM install scripts that would support both T-Mobile and Sprint from the same ROM:

No, there will not be ROM's that work on all variants. CDMA and GSM are quite different.
The tools like CWM will work on all variants (if made properly) because they don't use the radios.

I'm a bit surprised at this answer because I'm coming from the HD2 where tytung has two different versions of the kernel in his amazing CM9 ROM. It chooses which one to install automatically based on which radio support you have PPP vs RMNET.
can someone please recommend a rom for the S3 thats got multiview BUT that doesnt have any problems at all? if not, then one with the least issues?

So Do I!!
These Devs Are Not Concentrating On How To Make things Run Smooth Anymore Like They Use To. Just About What New Features They Can Throw Into There Roms From Newer Phones & Move On.
guys. Before you go to far with insulting devs let me remind you that these devs are working for free on their own time and share their works with your all. They don't owe you nothing. You have no right to tell them what they do or don't.
If you want latest and greatest you are going to deal with issues. Or you can use the stock based ones that are great but less bleeding edge features. Either way please be respectful to those who work hard for us beside they have their family to take care of.
Back to the subject please try either synergy rom or hyperdrive rom for multiview rom. They work real well. But for stable stock based try infamous rom.. Hope this help.
we are all Noobs at XDA. please help each other.
I'm looking to put a custom ROM on my phone and was wondering what ROM i should do or what the good ones where and why. Thanks for your time.
first there are threads already about this. second they have been closed for a reason. best rom threads usually create tension amongst users and devs. not to mention what may fill my needs may not be what you want. the best thing would be to look at them choose which ones look good to you as far as features. then flash them and try them out. goodluck

I love Macks Allstar 3.5 and Jelly Bomb 16.0
Make backups and try them all.

Try Minitab (N7100) port to sprint by ram9200. Thats all I have to say
I recommend using Mack's Plain Jane ROM.
Get in the habit of making nandroids and become a flashaholic. Eventually (maybe) you'll come across the rom that 'just fits'. then you'll be set. But until that time have fun and enjoy the adventure that is XDA. Try some stock, some custom TW, some AOSP, some ports from other devices. And remember that there are multiple variasion (i.e. different kernels) within each rom. So explore and have fun, then come back and tell us which the best rom is for you and why!
Hey all,
Now that the Tab S has been rooted, what custom ROM and/or kernel would you reccomend? The Tab S is my first foray into android, having been on iOS since the Iphone 2g, and have always been in the jailbreak scene, but I literally know NOTHING about android. Was hoping to get some recommendations from you guys.

Well so far none exist. You'll see them in the development section when they do. If I were you I would wait on one from a certified xda developer instead of someones first try. Be patient. Make sure you only flash something made for your model device. Flashing ROMs and kernels is serious business. You can break your new toy.
Hi all, I am not new to using new ROMs on my older Android devices (loved using AOKP on my S2!), and am now looking for options for my S4, which is still using the factory ROM and is still not rooted or unlocked.
I've been lurking for a while, and don't know which ROMs are the better options for my phone. Reading threads I get an idea that for a 4.4.X-based ROM, PAC-ROM LP Beta-1 seems like a good option. Also, as far as Lollipop-based ROMs go, it seems that the JFLTE-GPE 5.0.1 one by Danvdh, Kryten2k35, Googy_Anas, and Ktoonsez is doing pretty good with users as a daily driver.
Now, I know the usual "go ahead, try one, if you don't like it try another" response applies, but I'm looking for more useful responses. I'm leaning towards the GPE Lollipop version at the moment.
Thanks for any advice given!!!

Not sure how you can get more useful responses when no one is you. You need to decide for yourself if you want Touchwiz features or not, pretty graphics or plain vanilla, If you try non-Touchwiz ROMs you lose a lot of stock features you may be used to...but if you have been flashing ROMs for a while you would know that. So mate, only you know what is right for you.
Thanks for your reply Kenny, I was wondering more in terms of caveats of ROMs concerning the TMo version of the S4, so I could either avoid possible problems, or look up towards an awesome ROM.
BTW, to hell with Touchwiz lol!
Here's a useful response, read the threads for the roms your interested in, all of them and see what people are posting, if you see a lot of wining and misery you'll get the impression that that rom sucks.
Happy faces and many thanks, good rom.
The other factor is, do you need a reliable phone on a daily basis?
Pick a safe rom.
The further you move away from stock, potentially the less reliable the rom/phone.
If reliability isn't a factor and you have nothing better to do all or most of the day but fix your phone so you can "like" something then go wild and try some unofficial lollipop.
Unofficial because it hasn't been released for the Tmo S4 yet.
Don't badmouth TouchWiz.
Pp.

The biggest thing about staying with a Touchwiz based ROM is WiFi-Calling. You will lose this with CM or AOSP based ROMs. WiFi calling is the only thing that makes my cell work well at a few places I frequent, so is a necessary condition for me. YMMV.
Rob
Valuable input indeed, thanks! Reading threads at the moment on both TW and AOSP based ROMs...
