If you want to be manteiner for a device please login to google account and compile this survey . If you want to see more info, news or ask question or give some help you can join the EspositoOS main telegram group

Hello,
always a pleasure to have an enthusiast joining the ranks.
You may want to check out the ROM development (the whole platform OR a kernel alone). Some links for you to start with
[Sony Open Device Project](https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/) - this would be the starting point for anyone wishing to deal with the Android software; provides the guides for building full fledged AOSP and mainline kernel
[Sony Xperia developers Github](https://github.com/sonyxperiadev) - the repository for all the code necessary for AOSP and kernel; it is a "wiki" for further development steps; issues are discussed in [https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/bug_tracker]
[Sony AOSP builds with some additions](https://github.com/SonyAosp) - the AOSP code repository with forked sources from XperiaDev Github and with some additions that make the builds more usable (TWRP as a default recovery, OpenGApps already included, etc.); a great resource for a deeper dive into the intricacies of the building-from-source flow; can be used to compare with the barebone AOSP from the official XperiaDev and learn some insights
[LineageOS Wiki](https://wiki.lineageos.org/) - an enthusiast may want to build a Lineage OS instance for the device on his own, the wiki is a great start.
You also might want to get familiar with the followings as a references:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763 - an XDA complete guide to AOSP building
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-university/literature-reading-getting-aosp-t3268211 - a collection of references for further insights
https://review.lineageos.org - LineageOS Gerrit platform for a better understanding of the build flow from the perspective of commits
https://github.com/omnirom/Docs/blob/master/Porting_Omni_To_Your_Device.md - a guide to porting an OmniROM to a given device; may be used as another reference to better understand the buidling flow
https://www.aicp-rom.com/ - AICP project home; another source of information for AOSP porting
https://github.com/AndroPlus-org - a reference for kernel development
Happy coding!
Hello guys,
I'm Rohan (aka erikkkkk & rohanpls), I maintain DotOS and Revenge OS (CAF edition) for Zenfone Max Pro M2.
As you all have been enlightened that I was working on building ROM for this device (from telegram group). I don't own this device but I figured a way to bring device tree and vendor sources for this device. Current status is that I couldn't make the kernel work (it's hard especially if you don't own the device).
I have stopped working on this for now because I am busy with exams, so I planned to make them public because if experienced kernel developer could take interest in making kernel work in the meantime then ROM would be ready. I will start working for device again once I am free. Device tree and vendor source is already ready, they just need to sync and build.
I brought TWRP for this device, and it will be OFFICIAL too.
Here are the sources:
Device tree: https://github.com/rohanpls/android_device_asus_X01AD
Vendor Source: https://github.com/rohanpls/vendor_asus_X01AD
For kernel devs to get started, Asus provided kernel source can be found at: https://www.asus.com/in/Phone/Zenfone-Max-M2-ZB632KL/HelpDesk_Download/
If any developer wants to contact me then pm me via telegram: Mod edit - Removed
Cheers!
EDIT: Credits to ashu7073 for helping me by testing few stuff on his device.
NOTE to interested devs: Please explore branches for device tree! I suggest not to use pie branch.
Thanks a lot dev... I am waiting for your work.. all the best for your exam... Happy to see a thread regards max m2... Hope somebody will build a rom... Eagerly waiting for the custom ROM...

Those sources are really, really bad. I suggest interested developers to make trees from scratch instead (as your's are full of mistakes).
When are you getting back into it? I really need a custom rom!
Any custom rom bro
Can you please make for Zenfone Max M1 (msm8937)
We have booted kernel source
Decrypted file link no file is there please reuplod
Hi guys, I found this OS for G6 on source forge don't know why it is not available here on xda, so just sharing link for it. I have been using it for 2 days. Overall experience is buttery smooth and battery life is good too and I also like it's visual appearance.
Download Link ---> LINK
Developer's site ---> LINK
Flash Instructions (As i did it)
1. Pie bootloader ---> LINK
2. Skyhawk recovery ---> LINK
3. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik
4. Nikgapps ---> LINK (use core package only others are giving issues)
5. Magisk
I do not own this rom nor do I have any part in it's development, all the rights and ownership solely belongs to the original developers, so thanks and support them.

Oh, didn't know that but still it's pretty stable. Kudos to developers.
Yeah, I'm the maintainer but I was too lazy to make a new thread.
I'll keep merging security patches, so feel free to join the G6 releases channel to keep it up to date: https://t.me/g6releases
And this is the chat group: https://t.me/lgg6com
RevengeOS news
As many of you probably know, Revenge project has shut down in november. Keeping this rom up to date with monthly security patches is quite a pain in the nuts since I have to merge them manually.
Long story short, I'll drop support for this rom in favor to keep maintaining others with an active dev team.
Feel free to join the releases TG channel to pick a new rom.
