Database Info

[TOOL] The Android RΩM Database v0.5

This is a little program I wrote that people wanted back when android roms first came out, and now I have had a little time to be able to put it together. What this is, is a database that I will fill with complete information regarding android roms that users may want to download.
It diminishes the need for users asking the same old questions like "Does wifi work?" or "What Android OS is it?". This would save a lot of posts and time. The screenshot below is both colourful (yeah, I'm canadian) and satisfying to the users that wanted this to ease their use. All downloads through this program are DDLs, meaning Direct Download Links hosted on a couple of Fast Download servers that should also eliminate any rapidshare waiting or time wasting on megaupload looking at it's glossy orange-ness. Anyway.

Any type of critism welcome, I've been through just about all stages of it by now.
Here we go, Please report any problems. I have done programming the first beta. Well, it functions, so it should be a 1.0 But I am waiting for feedback.
To be an uploader/moderator for tAROMDB, you must make a request within the application after registering. After doing so, PM on this forum, or mine, of your username that you requested with, and i'll bring you upto speed on how things will work as an uploader or moderator. It's very easy, and it looks great overall. As a reminder, this database has like no ROMs in it, so don't download this unless you are willing to do some uploading, or just want to check it out.

- Taken out Submitting restriction (Anyone can now submit and upload a ROM)
- Re-coded the navigation from scratch
I'll have to apologize for making the ROM Submitter not as...pretty as the other pages. I just felt it really isn't needed too much. But, if you really want me to do it up, just let me know.

I'd be willing to help maintain the database as much as I can.
EDIT: Maybe a 32A / 32B option as well. Allows people to not get confused. Make it so that Yellow is 32A and Red being 32B or something. So that you can't make any mistake

Sorry I should post the other screenshots. All categorizing has been done. Including Phones + Their phone model types.
**Updated with how the categorization would work (Forum/Thread style with Downloads)
- Phones can be added, Subcategories/Models can be attached to each phone, and Roms and Themes can be specified.

How would you be maintaining this database for users? It would have to read from an online server would it not.

Yeap, and I'm going to include a "Submit A ROM" Button for select people and devs. So it eliminates people spamming it with multiple duplicates.

Well if you need a hand maintaining the database, I would be happy to help.

Thanks. I will put it up for download when I finish Setting up the "Submit ROM" section. PM me your IP. :/ Only reason I ask of this is to only allow YOUR IP to be able to see the section for adding roms No malicious-ness.

Look, my ROM is in there! I'm famous!

Lol, your ROM is actually a wicked example for my programs tests.

it will be awesome, we need this.

Nice idea, but not original...
Look at
http://db.androidspin.com/android_build_information.asp
they categorizing roms but it's messy...
Your work may be better, if you want to continue project...

I got the idea FROM androidspin, and BECAUSE it was the ugliest implementation of categorized roms. And plus, it's a web app, meaning it uses PHP. PHP has its limitations. As opposed to desktop applications that could do a shiz load of more. I'm almost ready to release this thing. I'm just finishing up the Submitting and categorizing.
I added Camera,Wipe, and Sync as per requested by many people through PM. Thanks.

Please continue developing and please release this! This project has alot of potential, and it looks awesome.
I'd be happy to keep the database up to date. PM me if you want my IP adress.

PM ME if you want your IP address added to access the submitting features. Too many people to PM, so whoever wants to help, PM me.

Hi, you should put two categories under magic 32A. One for 3.xx.xx.xx radio and other for 6.xx.xx.xx if you havent already
Regards,
Eyegor

good job .. how about puting req for each Rom like spl and radio and any other special req
one more thing : can u make a form that can be filled by devs ( an nfo like file ) and recognized by ur program so that any new rom can be added easily

This is a fantastic idea!
A rom repository that hopefully would work across XDA, HoFo, Modaco and so on
maybe you should add a link to the forum thread that is the project home for each rom, so people would know where to give response on the rom.
I am looking forward to discovering new roms to play with once you release you program.
Are you going to add the possibilty to rate roms?

That is exactly what I am doing right now. Since a LOT, yes a whole lot of people have been requesting a Section on SPL & Radios, that's going to make my life a lot more impossible. It means I need to re-program everything to setup for new types of categories. Well, I don't have a problem with programming stuff, I can't live without doing something so I will do it, but only if enough people agree to this program NOT being released for a little while longer.

Well, I have my own forum, I could just shove all the roms individual stuff there. But, I was thinking. What if I added a comments response system within the program? Like, how the android market has comments. Hmm.. wow, more re-programming. Crap. Alright. I'll make it away so that it can be added on later. But for not I can work on the main things to get this done. Which is submitting roms, and displaying them in a nice GUI interface.
cagra said:

Well I suggested that in my first post. I don't know how helpful it would get if i'm going to add comments. Hmm... Find me some nice.Stars... No wait! Omega symbols...yeah. That's grand.
On the developments on the actual software, I'm going to have to recode everything. Not really everything. But the category system, and the submission system. I'll replace the first post with the New pictures of the new systems As they are finished.
I have decided to put the categorization of SPL and Radios within the roms content field. So where all the checkmarks are, will have SPL and Radio somewhere there displaying what type of radio and spl is needed or...perhaps. Recommended.
EDIT* Okay, everything is just about done. All that is left is the Uploading system which uploads files to a fast download server. Release is closer, then people will be able to populate this. I updated the Original Post with new images of what it looks like After adding the SPL and Radio. And I AM aware that the submitting a rom window is VERY VERY ugly looking. It's not meant for the public to feast their eyes. Just for submitters to get roms submitted.

Well, I have released the first beta of this program. Please be gentle. Check the original post for download details. It's fairly small for an app that does so much. Have fun, for now... Infact, I have programmed the Android RΩM Database for Three different Operating systems....oh yeah.
hmm, as for the those submitters. Your IP's have been added and are now able to submit ROMS. Please be advised that you should start the upload of a ROM before entering any information. Uploading uses a custom encrypted FTP Protocol that might be slightly slower then your regular ftp uploading speed. But, the servers are as speedy as foggy light :/
Anyways, patience helps when uploading. I hope you guys can populate this program to help everyone.

Downloaded and ran it a bit.
Quite a nice app i must say, but i've found a bug. I've entered cursorsense rom just to see how it works, went back, selected 32a again and entered another rom. Now at this point the rom selection buttons didnt disappear but they stayed on the screen even after pressing back. So it was like i was able to select htc magic and amon ra 1.6.3 donut (as if it were a phone).
Thanks for all your hard work
P.S the white letters on orange background are not really clear

[ONLINEKITCHEN] CyanogenMod (STABLE) [UPDATED 30/03 - v4.2.15.1]

By request (and since my other half runs a HTC Magic, hehe), following on from my Hero, Pulse and Nexus One kitchens and most importantly with the permission of the legend himself that is cyanogen, i'm pleased to present a 'MoDaCo online kitchen' version of Cyanogen's v4.2.15.1 ROM.
Note: As with all of the kitchens, this online kitchen is currently only available to my MoDaCo premium members (those who have signed up to MoDaCo Ad Free or MoDaCo Plus) as it is not yet running on an infrastructure that can support a huge number of users. I don't collect donations - signing up for a MoDaCo premium membership supports future development in many areas and gives you access to great services now and exciting developments in the future!
This is the first CyanogenMod kitchen - if there's something else you'd like configurable in the kitchen, post here or in the kitchen topic and due to the nature of the system, changes can be deployed very rapidly! Of course, let me know if there are any issues too, this is v1 after all.
Click here to view the Online Kitchen at MoDaCo.
Update: a prebaked ROM for Dream / 32B Sapphire and one for 32A Sapphire are now available for ANYONE to download! Sample the kitchen's delights for yourself!
Base configuration (standard CyanogenMod with HTC IME) - download MD5: f1e923f8992911e0c5e8fcaae64ff069
Base configuration (standard CyanogenMod with HTC IME) for 32A devices- download MD5: c65de4774d9b4b704d928cf7f189927d
Enjoy!
P
Update: the online kitchen is now running on new dedicated hardware. Please bear with us as we tune performance and configuration and report any issues via PM!

Sounds interesting

very nice

Looks pretty cool =)

this is pretty cool.

While I appreciate the effort - you basically used Cyanogens ROM to make a kitchen so you can profit off it. This is all just a way to sell your subscriptions.
I like a lot of the stuff you do, but this is kind of not cool.

Why not make it FREE?
BTW, you cant add this or that... just remove apps that you don't want.

Double Post.

It appared at the horizon at last !
I always thinking something like this, but the first architecture I imaged is something like YUM.

Because this requires special infrastructure on the host to glue the pieces together and sign the package, requiring nontrivial amounts of processor time, then must serve the custom file, requiring nontrivial disk space. Neither of those is FREE.
Though a potentially useful variant would be to cache every ROM it produces for up to, say, 48 hours, with the countdown reset each time that configuration is requested (and served immediately from the cache). Classic time/space tradeoff, there, but if certain configurations are popular, probably worth it. Though, for all I know, Paul does this.
This is quite cool and similar to something a couple of us proposed on the TheOfficial AOSP/ADP/TMO thread. We ended up with theme profiles, which are heavier (larger download) but don't require the infrastructure. Always love to see alternate solutions, though!

I think you guys are misunderstanding..
modaco is not charging for CM Roms, he is charging for a service he provides. In this case, it is making it easy for people to 1) stop clogging this forum with repeat posts.. over... and over......... and over again, and 2) customize their ROMS to their liking without having to invest a lot of time figuring out how to themselves.
By saying he should be giving this away for free, you are essentially saying that someone like Red Hat should GIVE it's support away for free. I mean, how can a company make a profit off of open source software that other people have helped write??!?!?
This is no different. That is how companies like Red Hat make their money, it's their bread and butter. Not to mention, they provide Certification avenues, this is just one other way they are "making money off other peoples hard work", according to the outraged ones in this thread.
i personally think this is pretty neat, considering I have been through the learning curve of rooting my phone and trying to customize a ROM; It worked but it took me a bit before I got it right and actually was able to use my update.zip. Thanks Modaco

Listen, I'm saying anything about what he has done or how much time was put into the project.
But before I start my argument let's give it a couple days to see how it does; assuming the stats are correct on his site.

If you don't wanna use it, don't.
All the kitchens to date have been for my ROMs, I put Cynoagen's ROM into a kitchen - with his permission - because a) people asked and b) I find it useful.

Yeah, i'm caching each ROM produced, but the number of variants is HUGE and takes a LOT of disk space, so caching isn't actually as valuable as you think. With my Hero ROM IIRC I generated about 500 ROMs before I started to see any real benefit from caching. Crazy!

Now, this is something I might be interested in, depending of course on the type of functionality it will have.
By the way, I don't want to rain on your parade but I just think your current version of the project should be free; that's all.
I remember someone in the the XDA WM forums created a kitchen for roms and cabs and it was pretty cool.
I like your project but will it only work for a specific Cyan rom?

New Approach (end user)

In short!
Build a G1 rom without so many stock applications!!! This will defiitely cause a snappier feel to functionality.
(I once used a rom with 37 stock apps, the g1 can only handle about 40 unrooted! ridiculous!)
I've had a G1 since the beginning, and as things have progressed along no one has really noted how much we've crammed into the device with each OS update, much like bloatware.
I've recently been running the latest up to date roms I can find, and they don't run up to par, there is a lot of lag and waiting. This isn't to say all roms or slow or even any at all, just my experience and I hope with that we can build a 2.2 rom without added applications.
Maybe make two roms, a bare bones rom and a full one.
I don't need: launcher pro
an extra email client
3d gallery
music
news and weather
talk
voice dialer / search.
There are better alternatives on the market, and the voice search is horrible.
All Android phones will eventually slow down with OS updates, lets not cram the g1 with new services found on better phones. (bluetooth 2.0)
I think it's great progress I do, but I think the majority of g1 users would be grateful without them/ a pick between barebones and full roms.
I've deleted most of the apps mentioned above, but without the extra email app my gmail wont sync, and all sorts of quirky things.
The g1 isn't slow, it was fast and snappy with the firmware version it came out on, let's keep stock apps to a minimum!
Tried to keep this short, sorry.

You know, you can easily edit any of the roms, by hand, or using dsixda's kitchen

Or if that sounds too geeky, you can always install root explorer and delete the desired apk files from /system/app. it works for me. i remove the onscreen keyboard (extra 4mb of ram), voice search, voice dialer, bluetooth (which i rarely use, so i dont need it there), extra mail client,

soooo..
What your saying is because you dont want to do it yourself and you are the only one who uses these roms, the developers should do more work just for you.
You do understand how easy it is for you to delete what you dont want from a rom right?

Let's refer to the OP and see what is now bolded.
I've used Root Explorer to delete apps (and still do) but it never is as sound as I'd like.
My Gmail won't sync and will crash after I delete the extra email.apk,
my contacts will crash when trying to join with FB small here and there things.
I'm all about being "geeky" with my phone, I'm a little bothered anyone would think I wasn't considering I've been using this device since the beginning with ADB and all that noise.
It was a suggestion for less technical users to not have the hassle. I read Cyan the other day saying how these devices are still fun to hack and they just keep adding to it not regarding (it seems) if it will be snappy and functional for every day use.
and thank you fonix232 I'll look into it

dude if you dont want all the "bloat-ware", you should try a plain phone like this, i use one my self

Simply install an 3rd party app like android commander and remove what you desire from /system/app. Going to request a close/move on this, as there isn't too much development going on here+already slightly off topic.
EDIT: Also remember barebone roms, about 2 or so were released. The reason why you don't see more as it didn't really impact the G1 that much. Let's face it, we're lacking ram mainly and os support.

I uploaded a few stripped roms in the past, but nothing recently. This was mostly when I was repacking WG's kernel into various different roms. Now with AnyKernel Updater (and pershoot, dumfuq, exterry, etc) constantly building kernels, there's little need.
It really comes down to the fact that there isn't the perfect rom for everyone. It's easier for me to strip what I don't want out, throw some extra scripts here and there, and testsign the zip.

News:
20110215: Hey everyone. Thanks for all of your support and the bug reports and issues. I recently had some life changes that have affected my ability to make timely posts. I took a new position at my company recently and have been doing basically the work of two people until we fill my former position. I am still alive. I am not dead. Nebula ROM is still alive and well. Regarding some of the issues people seem to be having in 1.0.7...the feedback seems very polar. People have had nothing but force closes and tons of issues, or people (aside from a few knows issues) seem to be running pretty smooth. I will be looking at what is going on in the install process, but for the time being, if you are having problems, reflashing after wiping data and the cache partitions seems to fix most of the stability issues. And a special note, if you are having a problem ever, please look at the issues list to see if it has been created. If so feel free to post that you are seeing it, or any additional details that might help in finding a solution. If the issue doesn't exist, make an issue report. If I never see the issue, or don't have a way to reproduce it, it is unlikely to get fixed.
20110309: I have the kernel compiling from source. I haven't tested it, but getting to that point is a start. I won't be including my own kernel in the first few versions of Nebula for stability reasons. Thanks everybody for being patient.
20110316: Want Nebula to be even better? Have skills going to waste? Join the Nebula Team...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995841
20110507: It's been a crazy couple of months. I still intend on keeping this project alive, but with life + my current workload, photography related stuff, and buying a house, I haven't had a lot of free time. Thanks for all of the support and comments though. I just logged on for the first time in a week or so and was shocked to see this thread still on the first page.
Introducing Nebula ROM:
The purpose of this ROM is to create a fast and stable daily driver ROM that has some niceties baked in. Nebula ROM will not help you impress girls/trolls/idiots with artificially inflated quadrant scores or flashy live wallpapers. It will however, give you the tools to run a stable and powerful OS. I will do my best to make it look good too, but not at the expense of speed or stability.
The target audience of this ROM are professionals, power-users, programmers, nerds, etc. The goal is to increase productivity, stability, and usability over a stock solution. I am an embedded software developer (flash bootloaders), working in the automotive industry. I plan on using the same best practices that one would find at a professional level. Since, I will be using this as my daily ROM, I have a lot of incentive to make sure it meets these requirements.
Download:
You must have a DK28 modem installed. As always, if you are starting from another ROM wipe data, cache, dalvik. Going between 1.0.x should not require a data wipe.

Notes:
- To install this you NEED clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 or higher.
- This will back up your data, but I recommend you wipe this time around. There are a lot of internal changes under the hood.
- Double super secret extra thanks to Robotic Clone for hosting the direct download link. Thanks to him, you can finally download directly to your phone!!!
...I'm sure there are more. If I missed a shoutout PM me.
- You need the DK28 modem for this ROM. There are 2 ways go get it. Either install the clockwork version from noobnl if you currently have DI18, or ODIN the DK28 from one of the various links on XDA. If you don't know what any of this means...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861397
- I will try to make some idiot-proof installation instructions later. The current instructions are known to be incompatible with the latest build of idiot.
- Oh yeah, and it isn't my fault if your phone crashes, explodes, doesn't turn on, blinks wildly, drunk dials your ex-girlfriend, smells of strawberries, etc.
Donations/Contributions:
Regarding donations, I do this for fun and for the community. If you like my work and feel compelled to contribute, I will make a deal with you. You check out my photography website: www.lapczynskiphoto.com and we'll call it even. If I still haven't convinced you that I'm not asking for your money you could always buy a print off my site (just don't make it some random people's wedding photos, that's a little creepy). That way you will be relieved of the guilt building up inside you and your wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend will think you are a classy art connoisseur. Pretty much a win-win for everyone.

Introducing Nebula ROM:
The purpose of this ROM is to create a fast and stable daily driver ROM that has some niceties baked in. Nebula ROM will not help you impress girls/trolls/idiots with artificially inflated quadrant scores or flashy live wallpapers. It will however, give you the tools to run a stable and powerful OS.
The target audience of this ROM are professionals, power-users, programmers, nerds, etc. The goal is to increase productivity, stability, and usability over a stock solution. I am an embedded software developer (flash bootloaders), working in the automotive industry. I plan on using the same best practices that one would find at a professional level. Since, I will be using this as my daily ROM, I have a lot of incentive to make sure it meets these requirements.

Nice, downloading now

I'm going to wait for v.0.1 but so far this sounds very promising.

Always glad to see more ROM makers out there. This sounds great judging from your post, but I would love to read some more info about what we will see and what comes installed before changing over.

Going to try it out. Flashing roms is painless anyways. I like the snarkiness too lol.

Perfect, thank you

My phone's been running very smoothly with Quantum 2.0, but if this ROM can have MobileAP working, I will definitely jump ship.

I have an issue created for adding infrastructure mode.

I plan on experimenting with the i9000 mobile ap app. Right now it has wifi tether (ad-hoc) out of the box.

Nice rom. Running great, though I would appreciate it if you didn't include Astro as a system app. I prefer the one on the market better and the icon just isn't my style. Also wifi notifier is annoying when you first turn wifi on. I would recommend not incuding either of those, other than that running great. (; just some constructive criticism...some things to think about.

Yeah Astro used to be nice but not anymore,try ES File Manager(its the best I found and has root options and its free) I have themed version if you wanna include it in your next rom,there is a few more better choices than Astro out there.

Made an issue to remove astro. It actually got in there by accident.

Regarding, wifi notifier, I am going to work on making it configurable. I use it, so I want it in the there. I plan on changing it to a smart profile based system in the future.

The future of phones is coming

The future of cellphones and cellphone plans along-side android to give you infinite possibility! And it is going to be epic!

Here we have what Google owned Motorola has created with Project Ara. A concept to bring the flexibility and open source that Google's android brought to software to the hardware side. A modular phone that you can customize. Why buy a new phone when you can just upgrade the one you have?
Build it to your liking, take it apart and build it better! And there even bring the ability use your 3D printer to customize it (I know you all have a 3D printer by now.... Right?)
Then we have the Build your own phone plan by Zact.
Currently on the sprint network, (I hope they expend or someone picks up on this and moves to something with a bit more... SERVICE.) You can pick how many minutes, text messages, and Mb of data you have or don't have, each month. If your realize that you need more minutes, text, or Mb, you just click a button and add them. If you have extra they roll over. How can it get any better? Oh, you have kids? You can set times, and limits on EVERYTHING! or don't. Your choice, and that's what makes it AMAZING.
All this mixed in with Android, makes it the perfect phone to build and create anything you can imagine in a phone. Unfortunately, I don't see Zact adding this phone to its list of phones for sale anytime soon, and currently Zact has "custom software" that means you can only buy there phones for there plans, and you can't install custom roms or anything that might cause the software to stop working because it would leave you left with a brick, and they do not have insurance. But... where there is android, there are devs and devs can do anything with time and support.
So, the future of cell phones is looking promising. If there are enough people interested in this stuff, support the developers. Comment on the xda forums and let them know that you want them to support Zact phones. Lets get the ball rolling on this.
I am starting my Zact plan for Christmas, and I will be flashing my prl's to roam because as of now, Zact roaming is free and roaming services at my house is better then sprint service.
The future looks promising! Let me know what you guys think!

future
nice phone...

Don't forget to help support project Ara on their dScout page!:good:

I got my phones a few days ago, it only took 2 weeks... I started it up, ran through the setup, wasnt thinking but aloud the OTA to run. I ran cf auto root, noticed I still didnt have su so I installed superuser from the appstore and checked root with root checker. Nothing. Then I remembered that I installed the OTA to 4.3 but forgot about Knox because I had not had to deal with it prior. I did just about everything I could think of. I also found that trying to retrieve your msl/spc is a lot harder. I am unable to get into the qualcomm usb menu because it asked for the msl, Most hidden menus are asking for msl. I attempted to install twrp but it says there is no recover found for my device. I cant connect it to dfs or cdma workshop. adb sees it, but I dont know much about adb so I want able to do much with it. I was however able to copy the ZACT mobile apk from the phone and install it to another phone. It is unstable and FC alot. My other phone sees it as a launcer like touchwiz or nova. Thought this would be a good idea to see what the apk itself controls on another phone. I am not a developer. I am computer savy and have been playing with flashing for a long time. If anyone is interested in teaching me a little, I would like make a backup of the rom. Is there a way to pull the full rom with pre-installed apks, I can factory rest back to start and just see whats available. I'd like to attempt to flash it to my old s3 make a clone kinda. So i can test an play with one without damaging my daily phone. Any thoughts or ideas on what to test let me know.

Nice

Just to set the record straight...in no way did Motorola create this idea. This was a concept created by Dave Hakkens. His concept was called Phonebloks. Motorola did some sort of deal to license the concept or something. Just don't go around saying someone created something when they didn't...its like saying Apple made the smartphone.
