Custom Rom and Custom Kernel for Rog phone 2 - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

I have recently moved from xiaomi redmi note 5 pro to Asus Rog phone 2. I have see the fabulous specifications that no other phone are at this price range. I am using phone with extra customisation like installing custom roms and kernels for some special features. I have redmi note 5 pro. I use many coustom roms and kernels on this phones it is the best phone for customisation at price range of 12k but when i purchase rog phone 2. I thought there are more developers are ready to work with the rog phone to push the limit of phone and unlock some extra features or some Kernel to boost up the performance as well as battery or unlock some special features but no developers are interested on this phone.
If i am the developer so i will always try to unlock some extra features with this fabulous rog phone 2 please help

I think the general consensus is that devs are currently waiting for the sources for Android 10 to drop before any serious development starts.
It's been a long time since I've done any sort of rom building, but I plan on at least doing some tinkering when the sources/drivers for 10 are dropped

Thank sir
Please develop some crazy stuff after the source code of android 10 released

Many people ready to support asus rog 2 Dev
Start your development for this phone.

Can you please tell what exactly is wrong with this phone and the features and battery that you really need additional developers and custom ROM and custom kernel?
It's a brand new premium device with excellent stable AOSP based ROM, the best specs on the market, you have armory crate that gives you control over the kernel on the same level as a custom kernel and insane battery performance.
So I ask again, why exactly do you need dev support and for what features?

I think you are actually right but more dev more new exciting experiment cause new thing on rog phone 2

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Sony Xperia X keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Sony Xperia X. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
really bad comparing to other devices
I don't agree. We got official Paranoid omni and lineageOs, some stock custom rom with mods and some very talented dev into open Xperia device community. This phone has the lastest OS given by Google and enhanced by Sony (aosp source availaable even for 7.1.1).
We will have Android 8 and, with it the new update system... That means more custom rom possibility.

LINEAGE ?????
Where is?
No official Lineage. I hope, the official SailfishOS port will arrive soon.
And when this happens, the X will rise.
Dev community pretty bad as of right now... There's a lot of hope but still years behind dev community behind motorola/oneplus/etc

SailfishOS is an absolute deal breaker for me, as you will have to pay for SailfishOS for the Xperia X.
I don't see a reason why I should pay for a OS, which still lacks of features and probably will be released anyway when the xperia x is completly death.
Did you ever try SFOS? The usage is much cooler than
Android. And there will be an runtime env for Android apps.
I don't have a problem to pay for good things. But nobody
forces you to buy an Xperia X or pay for an alternative OS.
And you know, that an Android with Google services isn't
as free as you think?
Ok, it is getting offtopic.
If we'll could talk with Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 dev community, maybe we have other expectations with the development for this and Xperia X Compact device(s).
BTW, I been wanted show you that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-aosp-oreo-t3664605

Very bad compared to my 3 years old Asus Zenfone
This even getting Oreo
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/development/rom-aosp-oreo-tank0412-t3663733
Their Snapdragon 650 is a good SoC for Development, more, searching fix some errors that Sony let...
The problem is our own Dev here, is very low...
IDK why.
We'll should to port some things from Xiaomi's Phones (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon and Xiaomi Mi Max), or, fuse our Dev with them Dev for making "bigger" to Snapdragon 650 SoC, at least.

u know that jolla give you the option to compile sailfish x for yourself right? And you know that they need to make money because they paid sony for licenses etc. and have taxes and coworker etc.? It's not like that jolla is a one-man show in a cellar like some others here like to think or are by themself
Guys please don't say our dev community strength sucks that's just unfair and of poor taste. WHY? Because.
Sony Xperia X wasn't much of a hit phone anyway it was expensive and was reviewed as a poor excuse for a flagship phone when it was released so nobody even bothered buy one there were better options back then and this phone did not deserve any attention in fact I only bought this phone because it was so damn cheap when I bought it last year. (from a 2nd hand seller for 150$)
I won't expect lots of devs and variety on custom ROMs for this phone, but I'm happy and grateful that we still got great devs here even if there's only a few.

Now, is the "most seller" together to the Xiaomi A1.
With this, maybe we could see something for make to develop even more for this SoC.
Community development is bad, but not the worst. Unfortunately, "Bootloader unlock allowed" is "No" on my phone so I can't use anything community developed/maintained regardless.
IMO it's alright. We're still under cover of Sony's AOSP and various official projects (Omni and PA), and outside of that there are Unofficial LOS and Treble by Chippa_ahttps://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=6994234 and Sjll respectively. Some of those ROMs are usable as daily driver.
Props to any and all developers who have been keeping this phone alive.

Stock android

Hello
I have been looking for a stock rom for the note 8 and i haven't found any, i thought i would find a lineage os rom but there was nothing..

By "stock rom" do you mean vanilla ? , then why did you get a samsung galaxy device? Specially a note series one? Better get a pixel or something like it, why getting a samsung galaxy note device, to later downgrade it?

I have never understood why people do this.
They want some high end phone first. Then suddenly learn about custom roms and are like i want to flash this now.
Better donate the extra money to devs here instead of spending stupidly.
I'm just adding my sentiment. If you want stock Android, get a Pixel device or Motorola or Nokia or almost anything else. You buy a Samsung device for the features they add. If you don't like or use those features, then don't buy something for $1,000 just to essentially cripple it afterwards.

Lineage 15.1 was released yesterday for the note 8, it is in alpha stage though.
Clean Android not only reduces these devices in terms of function (S Pen, Iris, gestures, etc), but also removes the appeal of Sammy phones. I'm using Pie on my z2 Force, as well as my Pro 3. Whilst both have active development, my N8 is the new king on the hill.
Anyway, it's best to buy another phone like the Moto Z4, Poco F1, Pixel, or Essential for plain Android.

I think that some people are just plain stupid. They don't relise that most of the features of Stock Android come from other android OEM skins. Just because Stock Android is simple doesn't make it better. Even 3rd party Custom OSes don't support the same features on a Note device.

Couldn't agree more on this. I bought my note 8 after i have used a note 8 port rom on my j7 2016.
And honestly i will prefer the note this way and i haven't even rooted yet. I miss viper4android so much but atleast we have Dolby atmos in N8.

Exactly, you buy a note device for what i gives not what you can mod it into using a custom rom. Root and xposed is an other thing, but custom rom, that too an AOSP ? Completely dumb people out there.
I think it is about choice, not stupidity, like it's said a couple of times here.
Let people do what they want with their phone, like you do.
The thing is i am a university student and thought that i would use the pen.. turned out i didn't use it nor did i use any of the other features..
Second i am not from the US so pixel is not an option unless i would pay around 100 to 200 extra dollar to get it without a warranty.. this goes to the oneplus..
Other thing is the samsung devices are premium with good camera and great displays which is important for me..

You do know that once you install a custom OS on the Note. The camera quality goes down. As custom OSes do not have the same camera optimisation software as the Samsung Stock OS.
I was planning to use the pixel camera app

Of course yo would, that is the point, once you install a stock android,, the camera will no longer be driven by the samsung software, exactly what iceepyon told you, the samsung hardware is specifically constructed to work efficiently with samsung firmwares
Wow
A person asks about a custom vanilla rom, and look at some of the answers. So glad to live in 2019 when XDA posts are turned into youtube comments on taylor swift videos.
People are not "dumb or stupid" if they're looking for customization options on XDA. They're maybe "wrong" in some cases. Just tell them why.
To answer your question:
These days there are too many flagships and midrange phones out there. Also The oems use different hardwares and barely release their source codes and drivers. Plus, stock roms are way more feature rich and fluid than before. For all these reasons the development of vanilla based roms is limited and less reasonable for most phones. Except pixel phones and Android one phones. Even there, all different roms are lineage-based and basically the same, with same features and same bugs! But different visuall traits!
There is a Lineage os for note 8.0 but in very early stages. About other custom roms (stock based), they do a great job in terms of features and removing so called bloatwares, but personally I recommend you staying on stock because unlike few years ago, stock roms get you better performance, features, battery life, etc. I'm currently using pixel 2 and note 8 and trust me, you get bored by plain android!

I don't think will be developers to this phone, not now, not soon...
Its selling that week in USA
1TB Storage, 12GB RAM, 6000mAh, 855+ That's absoluly the most powerful phone of the history of humanity in 2019
Is incredible then ASUS do not pay some dev to come here and create an TWRP, Custom Kernel and Mokee ROM. That's the only reason I do not buy that phone, and that only reason I need buy chineses OnePlus or Xiaomi. When have Mokee custom ROM, Custom Kernel and TWRP I will buy that device 1TB
At the moment I will stay with Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro Premium 512GB for $500 I prefer the taiwanese but later then I got Zenfone 3 Deluxe 6GB without dev I am waiting for ASUS be a player again

It's unacceptable for me to have to buy cell phones from Chinese companies because ASUS is not dedicated to being the best at software like it's in hardware. I emailed the CEO in the US now complaining, they should pay an independent DEV to put custom rom, custom kernel and TWRP since they don't invest in advertising and their cell phones are no longer competitive like Chinese spying on their users. subsidized by the communist party

Then don't buy the phone... It's pretty simple.
This phone is amazing in every respect and the lack of development is not an issue. If it is for you, but something else.
personally i tested all custom rom for lots of phones for 5 years
mokee it s pretty fast, but also very similar to lineage os. in term of stability and long term performance its not the best, depend by developer of rom.
the best rom ever build is omnirom or rom based. the most stable and smoothest rom ever tried even for long term usage it doesnt lag or slowdown.
the animations are so smooth and costant without fps drop. i use tool to measure it. even touch latency is so low ( when you open a background app you dont have to wait like lots of aosp roms). THIS ROM WORKS FLAWLESSY BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE FEATURES IS VERY WELL BUILD AND IMPLEMENTED, NO EXPERIMENTAL THINGS).
NOW FOR ROG 2:
I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE BUILD AN OMNIROM 9 OR WAIT FOR ANDROID 10 SOURCES AND BUILD OMNI 10, BUT I REALLY HOPE FOR AT LEAST SOME ANDROID 9 RELEASES SINCE SOURCES FOR STOCK ROM ARE OUT AND TPWR WORKS
forget this phone if you are into custom rom , i waited forever for the rog phone 1 development but yeah, there is nothing there.
i though there will be some development in rog phone 2 as the price cheaper for tencent edition , seems like this phone will get the same fate as rog phone 1.

Well I have always been of the mindset of "Never say Never" so maybe something pops up. I still get to look forward to Android 10 in the future, so at least there is that. The phone rocks as is anyways, but a custom ROM option would never hurt.

Coming from Oneplus 7 pro. Omni was noticeably slower, lacked features, buggy and less battery friendly than OOS. I have a WW rog 2 and i don't think that software is bad. It is good, close to stock Android and with many useful features. Really no need for custom software at this point imo.. Asus did a good job.
Waiting for Android 10..

Should I exchange my s20FE 5G with Oneplus 9RT/Mi 11x pro?

I don't have any problems with the device, just that I am used to modding my devices and Samsung has made it very unappealing to root/unlock their phones. So if I trade this device, which is still under warranty, will it be a good deal?
that's gotta be entirely your decision as you've got to live with it. Oneplus 9 might've fixed some of it's heat issues or the community might've solved it, but look into that first. don't know much about the Xiaomi other than you need custom firmware because the stock one isn't good and the cameras aren't bad.
I'm currently running Lineage 19 GSI with a modified quick settings pull down, I'm rooted and have TWRP. the only thing I'm missing that I want is v4a and I could submit logs to get that fixed if I wanted. Samsung phones have had Knox for nearly a decade now, accepting Knox's demise going in is standard for Samsung modders. this phone is a rare chance to a Samsung with a snapdragon that can be rooted/modded for many people. custom roms are being worked on but both devs are new to Samsung and really struggling with a final major bug. if they overcome the problem custom roms will start to come thru with greater ease.

Well that last line gives me hope.
well the truth is the two guys working on roms have been struggling with getting the SIM cards to be recognised for months, to the point of needing to walk away for their sanity. the projects may resume or might not. there are one or two other devs with this phone who've said they'll be waiting until all the official updates are finished releasing. again there, no guarantee they'll even still have the phone by that time.
most guys are using GSI roms for now, they're OK but a full custom rom would be better.
If you like custom roms and development related fun with your device, you should go with xiaomi, xiaomi devices has better developement range and easy way to play with it, but oneplus hasn't as i also own 9rt and i am not a big fan of google dialer and because of only dialer i want to change rom to chinese( as 9rt has only chinese rom and chinese rom might have oneplus dialer ) and i am unable to find a proper thread or guide to get familier with oneplus phone - unlocking bootloader, flashing rom and vice versa. but in same case with xiaomi its easier and lots of videos on youtube too to get it done.
but mi 11 x pro has not a lot of custom roms, instead of this mi 11x has a wide range and you should try this
But one thing keep in mind among all devices you said and includes mi 11x samsnug s20 fe is best as i used all of this devcices and currently i am on 9rt samsung is good with stock rom you do not need to flash any custom rom.
mi 11x has best performance according to price but worst camera, mi 11x pro good phone but so so camera, 9rt is good in 3 of this but no wide range of custom developement.

Question Developing a rom for Xiaomi 12 Pro

What skills or things do I need other than the phone in question to be able to develope a custom-rom for this phone? I would be interested to learn more about this.

Lots of knowledge and time and Linux.
Xiaomi 12 pro has A/B partitions which does not facilitate the task

Thanks @NOSS8
I'm okay with spending time on projects that i would use or share with others and linux is not a new thing to me neither.
The other questions is does this phone have all neccesary components etc avaible to develop a rom for it as well?
I have seen and used xiaomi.eu but it is kinda the same as oem rom but extra goodies from china rom and all agressive battery saving options still remain killing all apps.

Not sure that's enough.
I'm seeing with a developer for an AOSP rom, I'll let you know.
So,the answer:
Hi, have checked and no trees or kernel yet for this device.
Would be able to make but atm not much time. Once trees and kernel would be available though building like crDroid would be no problem.
Following this answer I provided with 2 Github links.
https://github.com/MiCode/vendor_qcom_opensource_wlan/tree/zeus-s-oss
https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/zeus-s-oss

No news from the developer who had accepted.
Coming from Oneplus phones going all the way back to the 2, I knew jumping to this phone it wasn't going to be the same development experience. But I can tell you from years of watching forums and development that this phone is DOA for development. If anything was going to happen it would have happened long before now like in the spring.
We will be dependent upon official Xiaomi releases supplemented by the Xiaomi.EU customization for as long as we own this phone. There will never be a custom rom. Accept that or get a Pixel 7 before the sale is over.

The biggest problem with this phone is the autonomy even with a Xiaomi Eu rom, maybe with an AOSP it would have been better.
Performance and autonomy, difficult to reconcile the two despite what Qualcomm says and given the comparisons with other Socs.
More performance and better battery life of course, but the reality is different, all of this is just commercial, note that almost all brands that will use the Gen 2 switch to larger batteries, while it is said that it will consume less than the Gen 1, amazing isn't it?
The optimization also seems to have been abandoned by Xiaomi too busy selling its multitude of phones.
As far as development is concerned, the phone is expensive and despite the source code being released 1 month after its release, it is incomplete.
Currently the flagships all have the same problem, autonomy.
