Find the forum for your device then post your work in a thread in the Android Development section if you've used things from other devs or the Original Android Development section if you've built the ROM entirely yourself. Note however that if you only 'customised' some ROMs (as you said in your post) then you shouldn't be posting any work at all without contacting the original dev and getting their permission (and, to be honest, probably shouldn't really release the work at all IMO).

Codename of XDA Flame

What is the codename of this one? Anyone?​
I don't think it is an HTC Device so you will not find code name for it here but check out this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305686
and forum here for possible upgrades
http://xdaflameusers.com/
Looks like a pretty good device even though it is an older one.
I can't find a good 6.1 ROM for this. Where can I find one?

ROM Upgrades for this device would be found in the development and Hacking section of this forum here
http://xdaflameusers.com/
There seems to be a few 6.1 ROM's and some are even stickied - Check it out. Make sure you know what you are doing before you go ahead and flash your new ROM though - Read up on ROM Upgrading in that forum and learn as much as you can before so that you don't brick your device.

Please can we have a thread for beginners (who are wanting to learn) to Install Roms

Hello everyone,
Sorry for not understanding but i am new to this and definitely willing to learn, Id like to know what is the best Hero Rom (smoothest with the most things working) and if once i have installed it, is it possible to go back to my normal rom if i dont like it.
Id like to know how to download apps such as Apps2SD and themes such as the good ones on here (is a special rom needed or a certain rom ?)
Sorry for all the questions but please help i am willing to make a dontation to somebody who can help me.
Thanks Everyone
This is a place for discussion for more people who are experienced, thats why its called "development" as for themes those are under the "themes" section.....
if your looking for n00b resources for full on n00bs please don't post annoying threads here. Learn to look **** up on google and in under 10 seconds you would have found
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/
for how to root, one click rom install, and how to restore back to factory. Or even above your own damn post there are n00b resrouces.
as for ROMs this is the DEVELOPMENT section. So people need to stop asking for a perfect rom. Use cyanogen stable roms if you want stablility. If not ROMs come out every 2-3 days for evil and every couple weeks for other ROMs. They are NOT stable
Qtek=fastest most stable does not work on most MT3G (this is believed to be kernel issues with 2.7xxxx)
Evil= 50/50 depending on his builds, he likes to f* stuff up alot and patch within a few hours
cyanogen 4.1.11.1=android 1.6 AOSP(android open source project)

I did do a search and i did find that site although since i am such a noob i dint even know what rooting my Magic was for :/.
Could you tell me what rooting is for ? eg if i root my device once does that mean i can use all the stuff you guys are uploading eg just put a theme on it straight away?
Cheers James
rooting your phone gives you controll of the / files of yoru phone. It lets you install roms and such. i suggest looking at the latest video of rooting your magic and the video of how to install a rom. it'll put you right at par with where alot of users on this forum are at. only like 15 mins of video too.
Did you miss the sticky in this forum? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538979

[Q] How to port from a device with different hardware?

Hey XDA,
I have been around for a while, gone through two phones and have had no problems rooting, flashing ROMs, etc. thanks to all of the amazing people on the site. I have come to a point though, that I am interested in learning to port ROMs (and maybe even build a ROM from AOSP, but I am taking this one step at a time). I have looked all over the Chef Central -> Android section and the Q & A section and have been unable to find a solid guide on porting ROMs from a device with different hardware than the device you want to port to. I am sorry if this has been answered elsewhere and I try to contribute as much as I can. I hope I am not inconveniencing anyone too much. If a thread already exists that can help me out, I would greatly appreciate a link, then you can close this thread.
I am only trying to port between the ATT and internation GS3s, so it shouldn't be too hard, right?
The ROM I am trying to port is PA 2.99 beta8.
Thanks,
#TekGadgt

I will give it a go! Thanks. I had noticed this one, but was unsure if it would work between devices with different hardware. I see now that it does. I will work on that ASAP. One more question though, what do you do about devices with different resolutions? I noticed the guide is for devices with the same resolution.

question about KitKat for P6810

Hi, since I cant post on the development board (not enough posts) I´ll ask here.
I have a P6810 with official Android 4.0.4 and wonder if the KitKat roms available (Slim, CM, Omni) are stable and noticeably better than official 4.0.4? If so, which one is more mature/stable/recommended? Thanks a lot

All 3 have some nice features and have come a long way. Suggest you read the posts for each ROM and experiment with each to pick the one you like best. All of them are excellent to use as a daily ROM. If you have the room for backups you can do a backup on each as you set them up and switch as periodic releases are provided by Daniel. The releases (improvements) have been happening about every two weeks and it is amazing how the developer keeps them all current as possible.
Users have worked to keep the community up to date on potential issues and observations and reading the posts should answer many of your questions. :fingers-crossed: Best of luck and i hope you enjoy the ROMs as it seems that the developer does a wonderful job with each of them.
Thanks ColBill

No problem. Daniel released another version of the ROM (Carbon) yesterday or today. I'm trying this new ROM tonight. The writeup looks good and based on Daniel's prior work this ROM will be exceptional as well. Looking forward to playing with it. How you enjoy trying and picking a ROM good luck.:good:

All variants roms?

Hello everyone,
I have frequented XDA for a long time and have been rooting/unlocking my phones since I've had my first smartphone (s3). Until now, I haven't really had any questions pertaining to installing custom roms and the like.
My question is - can I install m8 roms that say they are for "all variants"? I ask because I'd like to start trying out different roms such as the AICP rom but have no idea if it will work on my phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I currently have an unlocked m8 running the GPE Marshmallow H10 rom found in the Android Dev section of this forum.

The way I see it, You better off flashing a ROM which has a thread within this forum. Otherwise it may not work "out of the box" sort to speak.
You actually have to make sure the "All Variants" is meant for the current version you're trying to flash. For instance, new Viper 5.x only works on unlocked/sprint. I think I tried one of the all variants ROMs once and it needed special modifications to work correctly. *shrug*
You could also ask in the AICP thread if there's anything special which needs to be flashed/modified for it to work.
