What about Codename, Paranoid, Sabsa Second Sun, CM10 port and Viper? I don't see evidence of this section being abandoned, quite the opposite. There seems to have been a flurry of activity lately, and I look forward to seeing the results of the hard work already underway.
It's not abandoned. Two big things are coming soon; Project X Transformer and ViperVIVO.

Wait now, why do you want more new roms when current ones are not even stable? What's with people wanting more roms for devs to work at instead of fewer stable ones?
Discuss this in general section

Guys discussions are good for mind and health :good:
But a humble request to everybody don't discuss this in development thread.....take it to general section please.....
Hey guys!
I've been assigned as one of the moderators for the Google Nexus 4 Forum, along with Papa Smurf151, 'cooleagle' and E.Cadro
Just a few things to keep in mind:
Please have a quick look at the Forum Rules whenever you get a chance (link in my signature).
Please treat other members how you would like to be treated.
For the Development teams to thrive, the development section needs to stay clean and tidy. Please make sure you post in the correct sections, and give us the heads-up if you see anything out-of-place, abusive, condoning warez etc.
Only original ROM development and innovative work-in-progress will be allowed in the Original Development Section.
All other ROM development, ports, hacks, and mods will be moved to the Development Section, and only if you created it. If not, it goes in General.
Reference, tutorials and how-to's belong in the General Section.
All questions belong in the Q & A Section, not in General or Development.
Do not create placeholder threads (including placeholder threads for ROMs, radios, guides, updates, tweaks, etc.).
Please no 'for sale' threads in ANY section. Use the Marketplace.
Also, if you see any thread that is in the wrong section or if you see any questionable posts/content, please don't hesitate to click the report (!) button.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions, comments, or issues pertaining to this forum.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Learn, share your knowledge, and have fun!
Congrats, and will do captain.
(I hope this isn't wrong or anything :S)

Nope, because ports aren't original, now are they?

Though not completely...Here goes
The announcement included this
The following are most likely “Original Development”:
Official releases of highly original and upstream customROMs(built fromthe ground up with significant original development within them Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person. Asignificant “first” in development for a device.Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are notsimply pulled fromother kernels already available.Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose,and which are well-made,anduseful to users.They should have an element of originality,either inpurpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant portof a ROM from one device to another, givingenhanced features or functionality to users of the targetdevice.The port should be beneficial (a port fromtwo virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits fromthis, as it’s notdevelopment)

Yay mods! Welcome and glad to have you on board. :3
I dunno about anyone else, but this is just getting me more excited for this device. This weekend can't go by fast enough!
Hey guys,
I'm very excited to be here and I cant wait to get my hands on this device. I have one question.... more so for clarification than anything else.
Currently, I compile AOKP from source for Maguro and Toroplus then I cherry pick and add in my own changed like bootanimation ect ect...
I planned to do similar work with the Nexus4. Would that type of work be allowed into the dev subforums?

Wow, looking through the general section. Mods got this place locked down :good:
Seriously, I like that, hate all the clutter.
Referring by the way, to all the excess threads locked out.

Noooooo not efrant lol

hey efrant,
why do we need an "original android development" and an "android development"? This has never been an issue with nexus devices.
I understand, for instance, on a samsung device where there is one touchwiz modded rom after another.
on a nexus device, it is ALL original.

Even though we have the full source available, not everything built on that source would be considered "original", despite it being built from source. It has been decided that for something to be "original", it has to be significantly different than what is available. Syncing the AOSP repo, making a couple of changes and then building is not considered "original" for XDA purposes.
Please have a look at this for more clarification.

i agree, but it is not a problem... with the galaxy s2 (where original development originated) it was a huge problem and the development thread was cluttered. it is a great idea for devices of this nature (touchwiz)
But if someone forks cm, cherry picks what they want, and maybe adds a few things of there own...it is still not original, even though it is built from source
(no touchwiz roms are built from source)<<< I know you know this but for people reading that might not*
So with the nexus 4, in original development we are going to have 3 roms (aokp, cm and miui) then kernels and a few misc threads
anyways, seems like a waste. and a solution to a problem that doesn't exist
see <galaxy nexus forum, nexus s forum, nexus one forum>

I agree to a certain extent, and your right, there won't be many ROMs in the Original Development section. (Hopefully there will be more dev discussion threads, which I will certainly allow -- assuming that there is some sort of original development going on. See this and this as examples.)
I spend a lot of time in the GNex forum, and in there, you see tons of very similar ROMs, e.g., deodexed stock ROMs, stock ROMs with busybox, etc., etc. By having an Original Dev section, it will separate those from the real "original" ROMs. And yes, it may not be needed, but it doesn't hurt.
In any case, it was a policy that was implemented site-wide for all new devices.
Hi @szezso,
Just a request to you to go experiment or port different Vanilla Android ROM other than CynogenMod.. I would really like to have a SlimRom, Paranoid Android and many other Legendary ones
Just a request so that it would be awesome to have a variety of ROMs.. Yeah depending on your feasibility
Holla if you agree with me

Instead of szeszo, you can port it -_-.
People forget that making to roms take a lot of work, and requesting roms are just adding more work onto this.
Remember that szeszo makes roms as a hobby, not a job. Nobody has the right to request/ask for etas.

I second this. It's a great learning experience. Even if it was incredibly buggy, I'm sure Szeszo along with a host of other developers would be willing to help and people would be more than happy to see a new developer come around
At the time of writing, we have Stock Deodexed N910TUVU1ANJ7 Rom by @jovy23 and three ROMs building off jovy23's base (in alphabetical order by ROM name): Dynamic Kat by @bri315317; FireKat by @megalomanic14; and Skyfall by @iB4STiD. More ROMs will be arriving.
While discussions of "which is the best ROM" are fruitless, with good ROMs from good developers, there may be different design philosophies, priorities, and emphases. Also, different users may have different wants and needs. As ROMs proliferate, it's going to be increasingly difficult for individual users to just try them all to see what best fits their perceived needs. I, therefore, thought it might be useful to have a thread where people could discuss, not which is the best ROM, but what, in their view, distinguishes one ROM from another in ways that may help users decide which ROMs to try, or try first.
My apologies in advance if this kind of thread is either inappropriate or not useful. I am NOT trying to spark any fire fights. It's just that, having been somewhat overwhelmed by the variety of ROMs available for my former GS III, this seems like a good idea to me.
TIA
There's already threads for that, the threads for those ROMs.
But those threads are ROM specific. I'm hoping for a thread that brings together discussion of different ROMs in a comparative, but not competitive framework to help users decide which ROMS may be worth trying. As the number of ROMS increases, it will be increasingly difficult for us to try all, or even most, of them ourselves.

Everybody's Rom is probably about the same right now. But, my first flash will be FireKat mainly because Viper is already built in. I have developer abandonment issues from the Note 3 but hopefully my choice of developer(s) for this device will be better.
Oh yes I find this treat useful. So I dont know who is at the stand out yet. I am still reading. I might wait 1 month before I decide which ROM to use.
The most popular cook ROM for the Note 3 is what? Did he/she make one for the Note 4?
My suggestion is to combine the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T forums. Unless the differences between these two devices are extreme (which we have seen are not), I believe it would be beneficial to the whole community to have one forum, under which they can communicate and contribute. This will also help with future support and development of both devices. Most of the subforums will be the same anyway, e.g. Guides, News, & Discussion; Themes, Apps, and Mods; Accessories. So it doesn't make sense to create two separate forums.
What does the community think?
i dont know if its really a good idea. if it can use the same rom why not but otherwise maybe there is some people going to try 3t rom and brick there phone and would cry on dev.

That's a valid point, but I believe having separate subforums for OP3 and OP3T ROMs would solve that issue. There is no need to create two separate forums and divide/fragment the community further. Having one big forum would be more useful in finding answers to questions and have good discussions.
Agree with this suggestion - the ROM should be the same for both but kernel may vary, which can easily be broken out into individual sub forums
In an ideal world, I think your suggestion is good and valid.
Maybe a developer can comment on how similar these devices truly are? If the conversion of a rom from one to the other is easy, I'd say combine the forums. If not, better keeping things separate.
Good idea. (As a user...)
Yes im for this. Just 2 subforums for the 3t and normal 3 development and one unified 3/3t development subforum.
I think rom developers can bring out one rom for both devices and you can choose what device you have in aroma, like it is on s6 and s6 edge. One rom for both devices and you have to choose what device you have in aroma when you flash the rom
I agree on using the same Q&A, Guides, dev forums for both and separate only on ROMs. Such scheme is used in the Samsung i9300/i9305 forum so why not recreate that.

Why not? The S3 had its LTE variant with 2GB RAM as another sub forum. It shouldn't be too bad.
No.
