Gentlemen,
This OP is located at: http://links.pjr.bz/A2-Roms
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this review, is to match your unique personality, to a unique custom ROM, based on the subjective opinions of others. Hopefully, someone will use a style and set of adjectives, which seems to ring a bell with you. It might inspire you to try the same ROM that they are reviewing, or else warn you about what to look out for when trying it. At the very least, this should prove to be informative to all who read it, and are interested in custom ROMs for the Atrix 2 (A2).
AUTHORS:
The original creators (or current custodians) for each ROM are hereby invited and will be given PRIORITY in providing their own critique. Not only will they likely have the deepest insights and closest attention to the details of the ROM's they have created, but it is always a much softer blow to accept one's own criticisms, rather than the criticisms of others.
NEGATIVE FEEDBACK:
It is hereby strongly suggested that you be brutally honest, and yet, respectful and courteous, to the best of your ability. Tact is in order, and ensure that you list AT LEAST one positive statement for each and every negative statement you make about a ROM. If you have IDEAS for improvement, those are far more valuable than mere complaints, particularly if your suggested solution is (a) reasonably doable (b) practical (c) not too difficult (d) free or nearly free. We all understand that no one is perfect here, and we want to be humble and mature enough to accept feedback with grace and poise.
INITIAL PRAISE/CREDITS:
I have consulted with the original authors of the 2 former OP's, which have some overlap with this one, but which are now either outdated, or which were less comprehensive in coverage. I have their permission to quote them (and will give them credit, of course, for each quote), and their blessing to attempt to proceed with this rather large undertaking.
Thus, I would like to begin by giving a hearty frothing beer cheer, to:
Luke "lkrasner", for his OP: ROM Reviews AND MIRRORS
and also
Rich "916x10", for his OP: Atrix 2 ROM reviews
It is so very often, the hard work, and even greater courage required to be the FIRST to post some idea of your own, that snowballs into the eventual community effort (such as this post), which then benefits us all. To these pioneers, we all owe a huge debt of gratitude (or at least, a couple hits on the ol' "Thanks" button, for their OP! ;-)

Hey lkrasner,
Thank you for the link and the reminder about you OP. I actually did remember reading your post some time back, and appreciated it as well. However, your project seems to be more focused on providing info about the ROMs rather than comparative and subjective evaluations and ratings.
I didn't read through ALL the pages of it yet (I'm at a swim meet grilling right now) but I also want the nutshell gold to be "right in front of your eyes" by updating the OP as info comes, so that readers don't have to sift useless dialog to finally locate the full info/scoop on what they are trying to find.
I'll defer to your advise though (or perhaps anyone else who wishes to weigh in here on this), and let you decide if I should merely delete or abandon this new thread so that you can update your OP (perhaps with the kind of PROS & CONS and ratings I have suggested?) or if you think my effort in providing rating and anecdotes about how it works for those who have used these ROMs, is worth attempting to continue as I had planned?
Best regards,
Paul

You should definitely continue. I would be happy to write up some more for scv6 which I am on now and lithium (I used 1.2 and 1.2.1 since they came out, but not 1.3 yet) I admit I did not read your whole post really either, but I saw the topic was similar, so I put up the link. Feel free to use anything I have there, but it is mostly outdated, so I'm not sure it is much use.
I did try to keep somewhat away from strictly rating the roms because so much is personal preference. I love SCV6, but I am not a huge fan of romulus. that is not because it is bad, I actually think it is fantastic, but I just am not as much of a fan of the more stock look.
You are a much better writer than me, and can probably do this better, so If I were you I would start by reviewing the roms you have used a lot (If any), then try some others for a while and ask for other peoples reviews, which you can tweak. Just don't wait to long, then give up like I did.
If I believe anything here, it is that work is public, if you post it, you should expect that it will get reused in any way, whether you say it can be or not, therefore I try to allow it as much as possible. I would keep this same thread going and start putting some stuff up.
Good luck!!

EDIT: 2 things I thought of,
1. please hit edit on the OP and copy that text into a .txt file so that we can use the format (then attach it or upload with a link.)
2. maybe create a poll with simply "what is the best rom" just because that could be interesting.
Good day, Im a pretty green dev still learning code but doing it mostly from scratch with no formal training of any kind. I've joined a couple other DEVS on G+ and here to combine what we know and try to speed up the process for all of us. If your new to the APP devving game or a pro who wants to help the rest of us trying to get there let me know.
Going to start a specific user made forum here http://forum.xda-developers.com/group.php?groupid=740 for the group and one on G+ as well. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Have a good day.
Hi @all,
I'm posting this on XDA because I think most flash-a-holics "live" here and I'm sure most (if not all) of you know the problem.
You want to buy a new phone and you are looking for ROMs, check if the bootloader is easily unlockable etc.
As of now you have to do multiple Google searches and go through about 5 forums until you have found the answer you want.
Or you already have your phone and are looking for a new ROM.
So you're browsing the XDA section for your device and find about a thousand threads with ROMs and eventually you take one of the big ROMs you've already known since your first flash (speaking of CyanogenMod, AOKP, MIUI and so on)
So wouldn't it be cool (and I think it would) if all was just on one site easily discoverable and you were presented just the information you need?
That's what I'm trying to achieve with Project RomView.
I hope it's understandable what I mean.
Because I know it's quite impossible to do it all alone I'm looking for people (<10) who like the idea and would be ready to contribute in any form.
And please only if you really want to!
I'm looking for people who can do one of those things:
- Do UI/UX design.
- Code an Android app
- Have good knowledge about web-development (i.e. PHP, JavaScript,...)
- Know how to work with databases (preferably MySQL)
- Cook ROMs themselves and can help telling what they need to have in such a platform, so that they would offer their ROMs on it.
- and maybe some more people for beta testing and so on.
Or if you just want to give your own two cents, feel free to tell me what you think.
I'm looking forward to hearing every opinion (as long as it is constructive. If you just want to tell me that I suck, you can keep it for yourself, thanks!).
Cheers,
land.apfel
PS: I'm not sure if I'm in the right section. If I'm not, please move the thread. Thanks.
PPS: I have already achieved some very early progress but I don't want to give out anything else as of now.

Thank you very much for offering your help, but unfortunately I think it's hopeless to do any efforts as long as there aren't any developers who're ready to offer their ROMs on RomView.
Hi, I started researching and messing with custom ROM/Kernel development 3 weeks ago. I've successfully compiled the kernel for my s5 neo Exynos 7580/MALI 200 (no hardware acceleration yet but I'm a kernel developer and reverse engineer so I can get that working given enough time, and have chosen all the apps I want to include in my first ROM. I made the ROM into and Odin flashable image and bricked my phone because I didn't adjust for the differences between the s7 and the s5 neo's power requirements. I bought 3 more S5 Neo's though, fixed the kernel, and all 3 devices have been 100% stable for 3 days with some minimal usage to test all the features. I am a kernel/driver developer, and as of now have taken over a dozen kernel MOD's from other people's kernels, and applied them to mine. There are more mods I could extract and apply, but I don't care to add them because I don't think they suit the goals of my ROM.
I would like to know things that aren't documented or easy to find that I will have to work with as I progress in the complexity of ROM development. So most of my ROM right now is apps I extracted from other ROMs and the play store and f-droid. But I am a coder and am working on my own settings app is suited for my ROM, including providing all the functionality of the root requiring apps I have installed now, also, I have about $80 of premium paid apps in my current setup, and want to put all the things they do into my custom settings app. I eventually plan on turning this into an android fork but for now, I'm starting out with baby steps to learn at a pace I can handle without overloading myself.
Please, any ROM/Kernel/App developers provide me any things you have learned from experience that I can't find on google and will be useful to know for my project.
Also, I have 2 questions. A) is UBER GCC better than Samsung eabi GNU compiler collection compilers?
B) Is deodexing really so good? because I've looked at the pros and cons and I don't think deodexing is worth the tradeoffs, but I feel like there's a reason almost every custom ROM does it. I know the tools to deodex ROM's don't work on Samsung android or other not AOSP based ROMS, but I already wrote a python script that deodex's my phone perfectly, I tried it, but I wasn't happy with the differences in response time and boot time and I believe it was causing a lot more memory to be used although I'm not sure why. Is deodexing better than I think it is, or is it just the cool thing to do for people who don't know how it really works?
Links, tips, polite criticisms, are all welcome. Also, this is my first post and I'm pretty sure these forums are the only place I can find people with the skill level to do these things well or at all.
I see some very knowledgeable people post here so I hope they find my post and reply with some tips. I tried the Freenode android channels and they are all plebs. They actually made fun of me for claiming I could make a custom ROM for this phone, they said it's impossible, and in 3 hours I had a screenshot of my about device showing my own compiled kernel running on my phone, no mods, just proof this been stuff is doable. Then I told them off about pretending to be experts but really knowing nothing and calling me a fool because they are too ignorant, then I left all 3 Freenode android channels and came here. In the channel for android ROM's and rooting, 99% of them were people who needed help rooting their phone or installing a custom ROM, not people I can learn from and grow to become a member of their community like I hope to do here.
if you didn't stop reading by now because of tl;dr, thanks for taking the time to read my post and please respond if you have helpful info. I've already read all the stuff I can find from google and these forums, I'm looking for the tips that aren't documented or that I may have written off as not important.

Also if anyone wants to join forces to help me, I'm open to contributions and will give credit for them where it is due.
Hello to all.
First, let me say that I am opening this thread with good attitude and in no way I disrespect the hard work from the guys that provide ROMS for our device. But I need to point out a few things in short.
My impression over the months with this device has been a mix of feelings.
I am sorry if I am missing crucial stuff that are behind the doors of development but my feeling as a member in XDA over so many years, is that Mi A1 developers lack seriously in communication and teamwork.
I am tired lately to see Pie ROMS going from bad to worse and crucial functions of the phone to go into the bug list.
Fingerprint - LTE bands - Playstore safety integrity and many more that everyone can read all over the place.
I have also noticed that most devs want to showoff more on the appearance side of the phone rather than stability-battery life and solid most used apps function.
95% of the users want 4 things mostly and these are the ones to focus
1) no battery drain
2) a decent camera app with no problems since hardware delivers
3) fingerprint functionality
4) other sensors working with no conflicts
I just want to point out the lack of communication and teamwork over serious matters. You solve these first then you customize ROMS to the needs you want to cover.
So many bugged ROMS and literally 0 bug-free rom.
Please be thorough on the discussion and don't flame over devs work. Just discuss how we can solve the problems and get finally a decent bug-free ROM.
Take this crap out
I would like to see a non-dev try to make a ROM and hear this feedback and see how they react to it.

dunno why you take it the hard way. I have expressed my gratitude for ROM devs and I always appreciate your hard work and give feedback whenever I can.
your reply is showing disgrace to average users. Ok so we are not into developing ROMS. we are just testing and using your efforts. why does that have to be something to point out in a bad way?
I am just pointing out that we have so many ROM releases every 2-3 weeks and the results are buggier and buggier ROMS.
You clearly see that Pie stage has brought to all devs problems. Instead of releasing every 2 weeks ROMS individually , why don't you try to discuss together the main problems, find solutions and then try to implement the solutions to your ROMS.
Instead of teamwork over serious bugs, you just focus each on your own work with minor fixes over different builds and every Xiaomi update refreshes the same problems again and again.

See the problem here is other devs don't want to cooperate. Me, Abhi and Moun are actually conversing regarding how to fix the bugs. Flex and Khusika help out too but they're too busy at times. Other devs keep their resources closed and don't share device trees which in turn gives out more bugs instead of allowing all ROMs to have similar fixes altogether. I'm not replying in a bad light. I'm actually curious what a non-dev would react to all complaints knowing other devs wouldn't help out and cooperate.

this is exactly why this thread has started.
I find the lack of cooperation has a direct impact on the community results and it clearly shows as I stated above. If you guys think you have to say something publicly about others compromising your work you should do it. The community has eyes and sees which devs really try to help the community and which devs are clearly for their own profit.
can you also comment on the picture I attached on previous post?

There's surely some great and cooperative devs. I have had some kind of interaction with Maun, CosmicDan and flex who were really helpful along the way! I was just halfway through developing my own kernel! And then I had to cancel the project for my illness and lack of knowledge about development! And yes, I couldn't even setup a build environment myself! Maun sincerely helped me on that! When I was successful building 2-3 revision then I got the mental illness along with physical illness! So, although I had the passion of learning and developing Android things, I had to abandon my project! At least for the time being! But there's another reason behind it! There's so much advanced kernels already there! I am even seeing 4.9s (I worked on the 3.18s)! So why I would release another ill-developed/built kernel?!? So I kept it to myself!
But the thing is despite being genius and genuinely helpful devs, they can't always be that helpful! As they got other things in life!
But what you and joey pointed out is very disappointed thing! It always doesn't need to all about yourself (those devs you are talking about) like most of this post of mine!
But if you leave them behind, you'll find that Xiaomi is trying to cause every possible problem as they always do!
So, adapting to these changes eventually takes time! I myself needed approximately one and a half month just to add spectrum support even with help! Couldn't even release that version for some anomaly and random reboots!
But I am not a real developer! Never claimed to be!
But making the source closed?!? That's too far! I have no idea what they are trying to do!
BTW, I was hauling for the front camera RAW capture bug on Oreo! (And that's the reason behind my working for a kernel! I knew it's stupid and premature!) But someone told me it's not possible for a mid range phone! But now in Pie, it can capture RAW images with the front camera on every camera2 apps! First I noticed on Serjo87 build! (That's the first GCam app I used on Pie) And I thought it was Serjo87 who could make it! But soon I realized that every other apps can do the same!
So the summary of the story is, they are too focused on their own things despite being helpful or they are not willing to share their fixes simply because they don't want to or is it because can't communicate for their own business!
But again, closing the sources is just...
Even some members/devs will focus and complain about my ending every sentence with an exclamation (!) rather than focusing on the bugs causing constant problems to the userbase!

Can other raw camera app can capture raw with front cam in 9? Other than gcam? Without green tint?
In my opinion porting 4.9 Kernel to Mi A1 was a big and remarkable success, but it has introduced more bugs to fix.
I don't see a huge difference in terms of performance and battery life.
Newer custom ROMs are on 4.9 kernel, so I had to lose ALL apps using HAL1 camera (mainly stock camera).
I'd like to see a fully customizable ROM with 3.18 Kernel and bug-free, but i don't think it's available at this moment.
Just my 2 cents.

This. Despite all the ROM threads, only 1 or 2 Pie ROM's can be used as daily drivers. Almost all the 4.9 ROM's need latest FW which is breaking features like VoLTE, Fingerprint etc (This is due to Xiaomi's fault and I know that too). I was more than satisfied with the Oreo ROM's but I haven't been able to go back after using Pie. From all the ROM's I have flashed only Bootleggers Pie ROM, which has some bugs which are tolerable, and Revenge OS Pie (which I'm using right now, but it lacks customizations) are completely stable (on November Firmware).
I'm just waiting for Xiaomi to fix the mess they have caused so I can settle on a 4.9 kernel ROM. I don't care about HAL1, I only use GCam.
Yes!

Just a heads up. PE team has removed Tissot Pie from the official list of devices. Their team is really dedicated to dropping Tissot support due to Saksham having Abhi kicked from PE Maintainers group due to having a broken device while Saksham himself no longer has a Mi A1.
I don't really see why Abhinav being kicked was a proper thing to do as he will still have his Tissot repaired while the guy that got him kicked from the PE maintainers group asks for donations to "start" development on another device (daisy/fajita).
I'm not one to comment on this whole thing but it's really getting out of hand and I no longer want to be associated with their dev team until this debacle is resolved. I will stick to building unofficial builds while Official status for Tissot is up in the air as we really don't know what Jhenrique and friends want to decide to do.
I don't want any part of the official status any longer after what they did to Abhinav.

what a mess
Tissot lost another developer. I quit.
It's not something that could be remedied easily. Tissot developers going away from this simply means that not everything is as good as it might look. Despite some success with 4.9 kernel, some devs are having a hard time fixing some issues, which might seem to be obvious. That for sure brings anxiety and frustration for one, since after so much time being able to fix one really small issue (looking from a practical standpoint) brings dissapointment. I don't complain, since I no longer develop anything, reason being for that is simple - no time left to spare for that. Maybe one day I'll get to that, once I settle down some of my personal concerns, which are holding me back.
I respect every developer doing this job for a better cause and contributing to others, because they want it so. And those, who continously complain about everything shouldn't even be here in the first place. Nothing is perfect, ever. If someone is willing to do something here, rather than complain about everything - do something useful, contribute in some way or another, it's just the way I got into development, being totally green and unaware of so many things. Starting from small steps and going up with every minute ticking. Live and learn.

@joeyhuab I am pretty sad about your decision but I have to respect it.
If it is possible to give us some information of what went wrong and you also decided to quit. Only the facts and just the facts. No intention to argue.
I am not sure if there is anyone out there willing to continue your efforts.
If there is no hope I will completely understand and will no further comment on this thread. It just seems kinda weird since this device had so much potential on hardware specs and Pie releases were very impressive until latest month.
I hope for the best in the near future and feel free to contact me through private messages if you want to discuss further.

I hope for the best in the near future and feel free to contact me through private messages if you want to discuss further.

I understand your decision. It is really hard to feel that such a capable phone is being dropped from PE support.I firstly flashed the rom when Saksham was the dev of PE. I liked it so much, I could not go to stock ever again.But it feels like a punch to see 3 devs dropping update support, and letting a capable phone with thousands of people flashing it drop in the void. Now I need to go back to stock, worse version of Android..It's my only option because I'm scared to flash another custom rom on my non-trebelized Tissot.
Your updates were so fast, felt stable and with necessary features.It really turned a Tissot into Pixel 3.
I feel sad for this mess that happened throughout 4 months.I never expected such a good dev like you leaving tissot, but it's your decision and I can't change it.
How to return to Xiaomi stock android 9.0 (no firmware flashed in TWRP with PE rom, no treble, bootloader unlocked)?
Goodbye, Pixel Experience....It felt so good to have a Pixel 3 in my hands, but it was suddenly dropped into void....
You will always remain in my heart, 16th january 2019 build, you will always remain in my mind, devs, for your great work throughout those 4 beautiful months.
Thank you...
