i actually have a very small question. am new to this forum and wish to know if our optimus black has any dedicated developer (like knzo) who is trying to port or make ROMs for the BLACK???....
i had an x10 mini b4 and i sold it to get this cell. now even the x10 mini (with it's paltry specs) has a working ICS build and i have a "cake on my face" feeling
i had a talk with MIUI about the support and they told me that our cell will get support by Q1 2012.
but as said, i was fancying a RAW UNCUSTOMIZED ICS flavor for our black...now, am NOT trying to create a spam thread about ICS or a hate thread about LG...
i just wanted to know whether any dev is working with our device??
P.S. - please don't kill me for asking this question.
i asked the admin for a dedicated "Q&A" forum, but nobody backed my request
waiting for your replies
Ricardo is our CM9 dev for LG devices.
this is his google plus:https://plus.google.com/115049428938715274412/posts
I dont think we have a dev for ICS ROM in XDA....
But aprold and knzo should be continuing Nova kernel from CM7 to CM9. so we just have to wait for Ricardo to finish his job!(i think still have some bugs left and camera not working)
EDIT: i think the only working ROMs we have are knzo's Nova ROM and Pay's ROM....and for kernel is Quasar kernel done by knzo and currently what i am using now CM7 #20 with knzo's Nova kernel for CM7(but the current dev has been transferred to aprold both of them are working together!) LG devices are kinda cold(i donnoe about LG O2X though pretty popular) so its not surprising to see that we have not much devs. LG peeps have been telling us that we will have our hands on official GB by November this year but i think none of us have the official GB on our phone yet(they fail in promises) that's why we are using CM7(GB) and waiting for CM9(ICS)

+1, rick is the man
Sent from my heart into yours
Well we do have some senior members helping us on a number of occasions ranging from simple theming, modding and giving little guidance every now and when up to getting overclocking kernel , but only exclusive dev working on ics rom is Ricardo.
But hey till we get our basic requirements being helped, i 'm satisfied with that; and who knows any time a new dev could be coming just like aprold with kernel project and temasek with cherrypicked kangs... So, i 'm happy.
You can see my signature, i 've thanked a few of senior members in our forum here; a little gratitude from my side.

yes...i have seen his profile in G+, thanks for the lead.
now, for those who want to gain some knowledge about porting or making AOSP ROMs,i have found a nice little tutorial for them...it's very juvenile and lucid. all you need is to run linux on your workstation. as of me, my idiot idiot brother formatted my workstation along with EVERY single DOCUMENT of mine!!!!
and am on an agonizingly slow bandwidth so cannot d/l ubuntu over again along with other necessities. i am uploading the pdf for your reference (if any1 of you are interested, that is)...all you need is ubuntu, VM/cygwin, git/source, patience and time there are loads of other guides if you are actually wanting to port a nice rom(or even thinking of making one)
(now, making a good,flawless,working ROM requires good knowledge about android and developing skills, yet u can give it a try )
once any1 starts the project and get stuck,post the work in DEV section and hopefully some of our knowledgeable senior members can take the lead
happy trying
Guys, I was thinking about making a ROM from the suggestions of our community members. A ROM which will bring out the full capabilities of our device. A ROM with high performance as its goal. I invite all our members to contribute to this project. If you don't know to develop, you can still be a tester,etc...
Guys you can also post link to the features,MOD,App you want to see in our ROM
How will you do that if we have no kernel sources?

It is not a short term project, a long one. right now we can use the stock ROM as a base then we can use CM when we get it. The goal is to get more members to contribute so that we can get something cool.

Multi windows would be nice and or a theme engine
I will continue the work of this project after we get Android Lollipop update or CM 11.

Hi all,
My apologies if this is in the wrong thread but I'd just like to clarify a few things about the types of roms out there and I'm sure you all understand the whole process better than me.
So my understanding is that aosp is the Google "original" android source so to speak, upon which other distributions are based such as cyanogenmod, miui and aokp??
Now taking cyanogenmod for our Xperia Sp for example, we have the "official" nightlies and snapshots of cm11 created by who?
And then do these form the base of say baguyz and mr steves lbl cm11 distributions? Or do they build them themselves from somewhere?
The reason I ask is because we have a cm12 lbl rom from baguyz but there are no "official" nightlies and snapshots for cm12 for huashan yet so where did this come from?
Lastly, now cm12 is released, does whoever works on the nightlies and snapshots for cm11 for huashan start doing the same for cm12 or does cm11 remain in development? If so, doors that mean we will see more cm11 m builds in the future, or just nightlies? And will there ever be an "official" cm12 for huashan?
I know this question isn't specific to xperia sp but i think it would be easier to understand in the context of a device, or more specifically, my device.
Thanks

Hello there,
You already have quite a good understanding of the matter although you are a bit rough around the edges so to speak.
Let's get right on it!
1) AOSP is the "Android Open Source Project" and it is a pile of codes, different softwares from C++ to Java and more to derive the source you are able to obtain through their repositories. This in turn, gets modified by both carriers and software development teams to create third party products you see today such as Touchwiz and the SenseUi. Most of the Android Systems and modifications are tied to this source code.
2)The Official CyanogenMod Nightlies are being built by what we call as, Build Bots. This BuildBots create Cyanogenmod from source as instructed by the Device Maintainers, who's job is to modify and improve the CyanogenMod source for the device.
3)CM12 builds you see currently are being built upon multiple sources from AOSP to CyanogenMod and maybe even OmniRom. They compile and improve the code to build this ROMs that you utilize.
4) Look to "3" for the answer
5) The device maintainers are still developing cm11 and will only start on cm12 if they're directed to do so. For why this is happening, I recommend reading the CyanogenMod blog article entitled, "L is for Later". It gives you a good explanation of why they are not creating cm12 as of now.

Furrydaus
Thanks so much for getting back to me @Furrydaus.
Sometimes no matter how much you read there's just a few things that are difficult to understand.
Thanks for taking the time to reply as i know you are quite a busy dev!

OK so I plan to build us another great ROM for our device but I just need a few things.
1st) Can someone please point me to the device tree and kernel source to build android 5.1, all I could find was a bunch of cm11 stuff.
2nd) I need some developer support. I tried making a ROM before for a Samsung player and I was kinda left to do it alone so I would really appreciate some help.
I will be trying to make Bliss Pop ROM because it is fast, smooth and highly customizable. I'm going to attach a poll and I ask that the L90 users vote on which of the ROMS they want me to port. After this I look forward to making a custom kernal that's completely separated from the ROM and that can just be flashed in recovery.
I would love to make this for the D415, D405,D405N, and the D410. Thanks!
Look at Quarx's github.

What kernel do you suggest I use? I want a customizable kernel.

You can customize every kernel if you have the skills to. Use just the normal kernel on Quarx's github. https://github.com/Quarx2k/android_kernel_lge_msm8226/tree/cm-12.1
@OP
Wrong thread.
You should start with basics...
And learn, search, study by yourself.... You'll achieve nothing by asking for simple solutions...

I know the basics. And all that I am just trying to make a ROM that will work on all variants and will be something the users actually will want to use. I know how to develop a ROM.
Beanstalk! I loved using this back on my old Nexus One, and I forgot all about it until I pulled it out and attempted to resurrect it a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately, that Beanstalk port was way to buggy to use, but I would really love to see it on the L90! I am currently really liking Resurrection Remix, but I wouldn't mind having two equally awesome ROMs to choose from.
I currently have no experience developing Android anything (very minimal experience with programming), but I wouldn't mind learning/helping if someone wants to point me in the right direction and won't laugh at any newbie mistakes. I could also be a tester as long as there isn't much likelihood of bricking the phone (have a d415, by the way).

Thanks I'll let you know how you can help. I'll probably begin work on the highest voted on ROM thursday manly because I'm sick right now. I'll be sure to make sure it won't brick your D415 before I ask testers to flash the ROM. Thanks again!
Its official!!!
I'm gonna start building Bliss Pop ROM Tomorrow and my friend is gonna start building Liquid Smooth sometime this week if not in the next 2 days. Both will be Android 5.1. Can't wait to roll out first build of these awesome ROMS!

Hi, I am looking for a new ROM for my Mi Mix and thought that the Bliss Rom looks the most promising to me.
However, the thread has been closed by the author, @heindrix and moderator @gregbradley without explanation.
Anyone knows why it is closed and if the ROM is a dead-end?
Thanks!

Hi there,
It's glad to see that somebody still wants to use the rom i maintained some times ago.
Unfortunately i've been so busy in my job, and well i've switched device to OP6T, that's why i decided to close the thread down to prevent any long wait and further disappoinment for never-ending wait.
Last time i checked the Bliss Rom source, they already updated and patched many things i've done before, so i can tell you that the source already very dependable.
All you need is another dev to cook it using Lineage Tree, and all will be good. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you so much for your answer @heindrix!
Still, even if it is not the latest source code, is your latest build stable enough to be used day-to-day? The comments look good and there does not seem to be any major bug (like the proximity sensor, for example).

if i remember, the last build fairly good but can be improved. last time i've build the new update but i've deleted it and forgot to post it, lol.
i suggest you use rom build by inkypen. :fingers-crossed:
SyberiaOS I suppose? (there are at least two)
So, I actually tried first to install Bliss and it is so nice that I don't see any reason to try another one! Thanks @heindrix !
Maybe there is something I am missing about what can provide an actively maintained ROM?

yeah, actually the rom from Bliss Team is very nice, it's full of features, and it's still my favorite team until now.
you can learn to build the rom and maintain it, there's so many tutorial and threads and telegram groups that will help you learn how to build a rom.

Congrats on your new job! I know its pretty late to ask, but will you work on porting drivers for Adreno 630 now?
