Questions And Answers
This is a thread for developers

First off, never post a question in the development section.
Second off, you are not the only one to ask this question so use the search button. It hangs there for a reason.
Third off, having set up a workspace doesn't mean you are ready to build a ROM. I assume you haven't either developed a simple app. How are you gonna make a whole system if you don't know how to make even an app? Go learn some computer languages first then come back here with your ROM and I'll be happy to install it.
Peace

nothing wrong if anyone who asking about making a rom...
Chris95X8 who are you to judge them in this website huh??
do you think that you are the clever one in this website??
Peace...

[Q] Can I run Stock Android

Hi guys, I've come to the conclusion no one can answer my previous thread, so I'm starting a new one, asking a different question.
Can our phones just run stock Android? I mean, does Android support all our drivers? If it does, I may be tempted to just use that instead.
thanks.

YES .... BUT!
The answer is yes, BUT, I suggest you start reading about what Android actually is and the workings of this OS.
Then you will discover the possibilities yourself and within no time have the phone just the way you like it
If you would have read the forum you would have already had an answer to your own question.
Think before you act my friend.
There are AOSP and AOSP based roms for our device, whatever you want. You will find out what this means!
On this forum some useful threads:

Thanks Robin>Hood!
I neglected to mention that my phone is actually a customized China-only Xperia SP running on China Mobile's proprietary 4G network. It is called the Xperia SP M35t, and with the exception of more ROM (16 vs. 8)? and I'm assuming a chip that allows it to run to the LTE variant network.
Obviously I'm hoping that it would have no bearing on this conversation, and an AOSP ROM would be able to have all required drivers to run my phone properly. That I guess is the crux of my question.

I believe the Chinese Xperia SP is unique, You can't run other Android version besides the stock one.

Thanks cachanilla86! I guess I'll have to wait till a ROM comes out. Thanks!

It depends what you mean by stock Android. You can't just download AOSP, compile it and flash it.
You CAN download Android source code from CodeAurora, compile that with a few minor tweaks and it will work (see my recaf project). I think it even has support for the Chinese LTE variant (I read something about it in code comments) but I didn't look at it as it didn't interest me, I obviously have no way to test it.

Thanks adfad666. I don't think I'm quite ready for any programming, minor tweak or otherwise. I'll just wait for someone to create a ROM for the Chinese Xperia.

[Q] anyone tried cynogenmod installer from their website

has anyone tried installing cynogenmod os from their website? I would like to get a stable CM

It's Unsupported
I had tried, it's unsupported for our phone

Forget CM on this device. This community is to small for any developer waste time to develop it. You can do it yourself with some research because you have all information/tools here on Xda. Also you have one kernel for 4.4 and other devices already run 4.4 almost bugless. Just make your ROM and share to us

thanks..... but......
Thanks Buddy. But i am a novice in cooking roms. can you just point me to some links to cook a kitkat of a lollipop rom?

It will be really very helpful..
if we could get some links... from where we can learn... how to make a rom.. :thumbup:

Just use searh button.
Keywords can be:
"Port ROM mtk"
"Port mediatek"
etc...

[HELP]Cyanogenmod

Hello ALL,
I am new to android community i just downloaded CM13 nightly while downloading i checked the changelog(http://www.cmxlog.com/13/titan/) but i didn't understand a thing i want to learn each and everything about building custom ROM's mostly everything about Android OS.
I hope y'all getting what i wanna know.
I'm hoping for good resource's which will teach me everything about it.
Thanks in advance:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

There are plenty of guides on xda on how to build roms, maybe just google 'build android from source' or something like that. Also, there's a basic guide on how to build cm12.1 for Titan in the general section of this forum. Maybe have a look at them

NEW ROM adding functionality to the Moto Z2 Force via linux desktop

Hello everyone!! my team and i have been working on a different type of rom for the Z family to maximize the total experience.
the world best modular phone deserves the best OS we can offer so we figured why rewrite the wheel we used a slightly modded kernel version of Los 15.1 and ubuntu 16.04 into a new operating system. the old/dying project Maru is coming back in this way, and better than ever.
if you guys are interested we would like to share the rom once it is ready for RC1, well let me know what you think and we just might make this new rom public very soon.

just a little bit of what this looks like

Unleashing
This seems like one of the only ways to unleash the power of the mods since google and Motorola wont allow the community to get the code for the mods. If you need someone to do nightly compiles, I will happily help.

Wow, this is great! I’ve been locked down with Verizon, running a stock Moto Z. Love the mods but miss playing with Roms. I bought a Z2 Force but still on VZ. I bought a Sprint Z2 Force last month and unlocked the boot loader and rooted the phone. I haven’t flashed any Roms yet, I just waiting for the right one to come along. I’m not a developer but have flashed Roms since the First Moto Droid. I’ll be happy to give feedback. My Sprint is not my main phone, its just for play. I do want to unlock the sim in a month and bring the phone over to my Verizon account.

Not a Dev but been rooting and modding since htc Evo and original Xbox. Would love to help in any way possible.

ok so i only have a Z2 as of now in the Z family what i would like to know is what apps do you wish came built into a custom rom the you have found useful while on a custom rom? the goal is to become stable asap and we are seemingly stable now but we really want to polish this up.
we have a few more phone we are getting ready to start build for too but this phone is the main focus right now we have one of the devs on the team running this on the international s9. if todays build is ready for prime time we will post it asap but we are trying to get the install instructions done since it is a little work after the install.

It's not the same it works like maru but runs Los 15.1 not stock Android like maru and is on Ubuntu 16.04 not Debian. This room work the same but is a little different.
We made more progress last night. Hoping that we will have all the bugs worked out after today's report sync.

the command center widget that displays both the Moto mod battery and the phones battery

Hopefully u can make it so u don't have to log in to your G account to do the initial startup. And I 2nd apps needed r a good file explorer and maybe an alternative market like ACC or mobolism.

Any update on the development? Would really like to give this ROM a shot!

Anything new?

so quick update:
this is an unofficial build of maru os and if anyone is willing to help with development i would greatly appreciate the help. i am stuck at this moment since the guys i was working with are very busy at this moment. if you are serious about helping this progress to a stable build i can get you access to my build server to get this up and running once more. my phone is the one and only as of now and i have been enjoying it very much testing all the possibilities with external hardware. Devs please dm me tester will be selected once the builds are ready for single zip installs.
