Almost 1 month of waiting searching & then still left waiting for a stable & fully featured rom I am wondering whats the use of having 10 developers making 10 different roms none is bug free, some or the other features remain buggy or not working in them.
Cant the developers work together to develop 1 super stable, bug free & fully featured rom for our i9003?
Take a poll & lets give some direction to rom development, the purpose of this post is to have some kind of feedback as to what the i9003 users base wants the most, in no way developers are bounded by this community demand but this poll result should give the developers some sense of direction regarding rom development.
I have a long list of features, some are innovative ideas how a phone should be & needs a developer to implement the ideas.
Choose the following one to vote
I prefer different developers develop different roms even if it remain buggy or some features are not working.
or
I want super featured, super stable rom hence developer should work together to root out bugs then we can have various version of this rom.
Disclaimer:
In no way I am putting down the hard work done by all the developers who have done good job with themes, tweaks, mods, custom roms & other customization for i9003 giving precious time for the community development.
stable & fully featured rom

Hello,what features are not working??
hey man, i think the developers are giving their best at what they are doing. i know a collective effort gets above all but sounds a bit harsh when u put it so bluntly. and coming to stability and features if u expect a rom which can compete with MIUI u have to wait.. the developers here are good and most of the roms they gave us have only minor issues like force closes and all. i too am waiting for a ROM as good as MIUI supported by cyanogen mod. have some patience and trust them..

1. 2 way phone Call recording with auto gain in .amr & .mp3 format
2. USB OTG
3. Dialer in landscape mode (krazy did a mod but later did not include it in rom)
4. Retrying busy number automatically should give a audio tone when the call finally connects.
5. Missed call sound notification with ability to to switch off.
6. dialer should have option opening as default keypad/logs/favorites screen (user selectable)
7 dialer Voice mail facility so the phone can record the message on the sd card itself.
Others can add more to the feature list, as the list grows more Devs can look in to the requirements.
Since I work in large team environment I am very much used to get the work done by different people for a large project each specializing in particular field. I live my life with a phone hence cant test multiple roms, if something goes wrong while flashing or features not working I would loose a lot of time & my work will suffer.
variety is always good. Devs do not have obligations to make roms. let's give them freedom to do whatever they want with the roms they create.
Nevertheless, a good poll question would be which is the best froyo and gb rom.
I guess sgsl is talking about the GPS and push notifications bug.
It has to do with the base ROM i.e. XXKPH. Otherwise all are putting in a splendid effort.
Seeing the positive side we get 10 different flavours of the same ROM.
And the ROM's are getting better by the day.
I can understand where you're coming from as I have been researching on the ROMs for a while now so that I can flash them (I'm still on DDKF1 though ).
All in All Kudos to all dev's out here.
I think Devs should work together to make super stable rom

People are trying to get the mentioned features working but it'll take some time i guess. If all work on one thing then we won't get anything to play with until that thing is developed/solved.

Same thing applies to me and almost all guys out here.
But the ROM's that are offered are more or less pretty stable now in the sense all basic features work 100%.
@ sgsl
if you want dialertab landscape mod for gb then soon i will again port it
Also i feel dev's can work together to solve issues (USB OTG, Call recording etc) and not build a complete ROM altogether.
@SGSL can you add the option of "dev's should work together for solving issues"
@ybyb
gps is working on all roms!
Developers should be allowed to do what they want. If they want to make their own ROM, let them. If they want to work together, let them. They're not your staff.
I know it's just an idea - so please don't take this as an attack.
@sakindia
Have been reading the feedbacks and it isn't working for all.
Maybe then it's my interpretation.

I humbly disagree, devs are "presuming" that they are doing best but still not able to solve teh problems or either conclude that if certain features can be done or not.
sounds a bit harsh when u put it so bluntly.

Extremely sorry if this sound so hard but in no way I am disrespecting the excellent work done by many developers, I put the disclaimer in red in 1st post for the very reason.

No body wants to curtail their freedom indeed they are free to agree to work together or alone, its their wish, but if more i9003 users vote that they want a super stable rom which is fully customized & devs should work in a team to achieve that then its upto the developers to look into this community requirement. Even then they are free to ignore this requirement, its their wish.

How about having a super stable rom with 10 different flavors (all stable & fully featured) since different people use phone differently for different uses?
As for GB or froyo I leave it to the developers to have the agreement on it, GB as of now is not officially launched in stable form for i9003.

Thanks krazy , yes I would love to have it integrated in roms, I have many more ideas for rom developers to add useful features so the smartphone can be used even by disabled people too. One such feature would be audio sound of numbers when they press the dialer button.
Many blind people will bless you for this feature.
Buddy i agree with ur point. So when amit will release CM7 then automatically all developers will get attract to it & will try to solve problems related to it.
But for now let the dev do their work. Already we have cranium as best rom with almost everything is working in it so other developer can can take help of it.
The features u are demanding needs to implemented with great hard work. Some features are related to kernal & we all know that we have very few kernal developers.
Our progress is slow but definitely in right direction. Just keep some patience. I think CM7 will complete everyone's expectation.
You know: 9 women can't give birth to a child for a month. IE if all our developers will work together I don't think they will create the ROM better. Because we (they) have some tricks to improve some features of ROM. When somebody found this he posts this know how to the forum and all other can apply this trick to their ROM.
But they don't create ROM from scratch. They use somebody's ROM or stock ROM and apply some tricks/applications. Also they apply some themes inside.
And this is good that we have different ROMs with different tricks/themes/applications. Some users like one set, other users like other set. and this is good. If we have very easy way to apply tricks/themes and so on without "recompiling" framework or applications. It will be good to take 1 ROM with ability to apply different tricks. but we can't this.
For example if you remember when rex4u and then others became to create themes for XXKB3, they don't know about extended power menu. and we can easy change theme just replacing framework files. But the was discovered a lot of tricks and now we should to choose not only between themes (looks) but also animations,memory,power menu and so on (feel). we can't just change some file and receive features we need without loosing features we don't need. Also theme developers can't make a lot of modifications for different sets of features.
That's why I think that several ROMs are better than 1. Also remember: if you want to make ROM you don't need to program on C, but for apply OTG or other features that you wrote in the post, you should know C...
All dev's re doing gret job..
they re doing everything of their own free will posts like these will dis herten them..
they re nt obliged to do nything..lso nything they mke they cn keep fr themselves instead of sharing it to us...
we dont give them nything they do it fr free from their own tym..
let dev's do whtever they wnt nd let us support them and when they want to work together they can always do tht using this forum...no one needs to tell them wht they shld do...

Paul, that was uncalled for. And very rude of you. Ben is one of the most respected members on this forum, and would unanimously be elected a mod if the forum members had a say. He is one of the guiding hands in this forum, and has been one of the earliest members here. He also maintains the excellent INDEX thread that every single user here has found useful at one time or the other. His credentials are beyond scrutiny here. You are new here, and are a very energetic, though a little flamboyant member - and are most welcome to go about your own business. But all your posts exude a lot of aggression, and all of us here have felt that. Maybe you should tone it down a little, and try to gel better with everyone here. Won't be much of a forum if you antagonize everyone and try to run the entire forum alone. We all have real lives outside of XDA, and get together here for some quality time. No one signs up here just to flame others. Neither you nor ben have anything to prove. As far as moderation is concerned, all good forums are self-moderated. External mods step in only when things get out of hand. I don't think we should take it there. Before you accuse me of acting like a mod too, i would only request you to please keep the emotional content down, and just try to get along with everyone here. I've also seen you flaming olyloh on one of his posts - we are decent people here paul. I've known these guys long before you, and they are solid. Take my word for it. We could all do with a little more understanding, that's all I have to stay. Ball's in your court now. You can either add me and everyone else here to your flame-thrower list, or just cool it and embrace the community. It's your call.
Cheers.
EDIT : I see the moderators have already taken notice. Didn't notice as I was typing... anyway, let bygones be bygones, and drop this right here.
im letting the mods deal with him
this threads ganna be closed now ive already asked mods
@enigmaamit i respect wat u say but u dont know whats going on. i dont flame atall if u ask people i have helped they will tell u how much of a good person i am the other day i helped a man from Pakistan for 3days nearly i slept very little and together we got his phone working again. and no im not new. i used to be on here ages ago in the sony x8 forum. i ported sense 2,1 to the sony ericsson x8 and im very well known on that x8 forum here at xda for developing flash player to work with arm 6 devices. im not a noob im very well experienced with rom porting and kernel development. people assume that because i only joined up again not long ago that suddenly i dont know nothing :S but your wrong. im not here to flame anyone or cause arguments. please just let the moderators do what they need to do and this will end here and now

CM12 on N8020

Hi!
Re: "New galaxy note 10.1 lte 4g gt-n8020 with CM12.1 by Sbrissen http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...-12-0-t2996920"
The N8020 is undoubtedly excellent device which was unfo left aside from mainstream for LL updates. Great someone, who is able to do it ... , picked up the ball. I'm just bit confused, why in your link to Sbrissen post you refer to is as 8020 which is internationa model when it is actually I925 which is Verzion version. Is there no problem with carrier lock?
Also I've noted the new built from 30-Apr-2015, did you manage to fix streaming? I'm running 5.0.1 on S2 (best smartphone ever ) going to update to 5.0.2, got Alpha updated to 5.0.2 finally yesterday. It would be great hat-trick to have my N8020 lifted to same level. Actually there are other options to watch Netflix so that will not stop me. Just other stream as I use it often to follow up various webinars (BrighTalk, etc) on the go.
Appreciate a feedback and thanks for great job.
Many thanks to @smegg and @sbrissen for this ROM.
I have been using smegg's 30 April 2015 build for about 2 weeks now and it's been great with a few minor bugs.
Findings:
1. Netflix - as mentioned by @frogger55 and @smegg, I'm unable to watch Netflix on my tablet.
2. YouTube - Sometimes, a few seconds into the video the YouTube would stop and notify me there is no connection. It prompts me to press retry and the video resumes.
3. Volume - I feel that the media volume has been turned down as compared to stock ROM and GNABO v8. I had to change the volume levels using root Explorer.
4. Hulu - I am able to start Hulu and browse. Once I click on an episode, the show network (eg.: FOX) will play it's 2-3 second ad and I just end up waiting for the show to start. I'll have to check on this again.
I don't make calls using my tablet so I wouldn't know if there is that "end call" bug. Sorry.
I did notice the 3 updates and I did try flashing cm-12.1-20150516-NIGHTLY-i925.zip but was unable to because..
"This package is for device: p4noteltevzw, i925, SCH-I925; this device is p4noteltexx."
Other than that... Everything else works great so far.
Thank you so much for looking out for us n8020 users, @smegg
Btw, to update yourselves, just dl new version, unzip the old version somewhere and replace all files in it with files from new version, leaving the folders alone, then rezip. should work fine
Any chance of a possible port to the i925U? Or will this work on it? (Just got this tablet, still learning it's community ) . This now just seems to be the only lollipop rom :/

I'm really appreciated for ROM developers' work! All these guys working really hard and give to all of us ROMs, with useful features and tuning. But...
Take a look on every first post for almost every ROM. Long-long-long list with huge banners like DISCLAIMER, CREDITS, FEATURES, etc. Are you really sure that your users can estimate your work looking on this "(des)infographics"?!
I'm personally, like thousands of other visitors, are looking for ROM, at first - without bugs, which may be vital for them. For example, ROM with excellent design and unique features is absolutely useless for me if there is a sim switching bug is exists in it. Just imagine situation: I switched off one of my sims and found that the only one way to return it back to work, is "reflash ROM"!!! Why? Bcz it's "a well known bug". Relay great case to get this knowledge, for example, right during going out of a plane in unknown country which you decide to visit first time in you life and left without any communication channel! )))
May I suggest to all ROM developers and regular ROM users list on ROM's first page or here in this thread very short text list with list of ROM's bugs and possible solutions for them, if any exists?
As I know, now there are following bugs that may be critical for lot of users:
fast charge - not working or working but haven't indicator in status bar.
root - buil-in or must be installed separately? Which one SuperSU, Magisk, or other one?
NFC & safetynet test - can this ROM provide wireless payments?
VOLTE - is it working?
sim switch off/on - you switching off one sim and then can't bring it alive even after reboot.
flight mode - after switching it off you must reboot your phone to make new calls.
led indicator - it may not work at all, may partially work with one blue color, can be tuned by LightFlow or other app
double tap to wake up - is it working from the box or required external app?
one key (energy saving switcher on left side) - is it working?
dark video - when switching from photo mode to video, picture and video itself becomes noticeable darker than photo.
finger print actions - don't work, work after reswitching navigation buttons, work with registered FP only.
huge bluetooth power consuming - showing more than 10% while in fact the weren't any device connected and BT wasn't in use.
Please review all above in my list ant type for us short report about their current state in your ROM.
And one more point: dear ROM builders, please do not use bugs descriptions like "same as lineage OS 14 from ....". When you publish your ROM some bugs may be present in other ROMs too. But later, in those other ROMs their authors may fix some of them, while in your ROM they still may left, because you haven't update it. Please don't confuse your customers and don't force them to scan all threads trying to find answers. You know your bugs - please simply list them. And maybe community will give you advice how to fix them (like in case with FP from HigwaySatr).

it was done in my previous message - DotOS. One more choice - LOS from HigwayStar. As I found these twos are both without "sim switch off/on" bug. But they have some other bugs (f.e. dark video).
Now I switched from DotOS to HigwayStar because HWS still working on it, and DotOS is freezed.

May I suggest to all ROM developers and regular ROM users list on ROM's first page or here in this thread very short text list with list of ROM's bugs and possible solutions for them, if any exists?
As I know, now there are following bugs that may be critical for lot of users:
fast charge - not working or working but haven't indicator in status bar.
root - buil-in or must be installed separately? Which one SuperSU, Magisk, or other one?
NFC & safetynet test - can this ROM provide wireless payments?
VOLTE - is it working?
sim switch of/on - you switching of one sim and that can't bring it alive.
flight mode - after switching it off you must reboot your phone to make new calls.
led indicator - it may not work at all, may partially work with one blue color, can be tuned by LightFlow or other app
double tap to wake up - is it working from the box or required external app?
one key (energy saving switcher on left side) - is it working?
dark video - when switching from photo mode to video, picture and video itself becomes noticeable darker than photo.
finger print actions - don't work, work after reswitching navigation buttons, work with registered FP only.
huge bluetooth power consuming - showing more than 10% while in fact the weren't any device connected and BT wasn't in use.
Please review all above in my list ant type for us short report about their current state in your ROM.
And one more point: dear ROM builders, please do not use bugs descriptions like "same as lineage OS 14 from ....". When you publish your ROM some bugs may be present in other ROMs too. But later, in those other ROMs their authors may fix some of them, while in your ROM they still may left, because you haven't update it. Please don't confuse your customers and don't force them to scan all threads trying to find answers. You know your bugs - please simply list them. And maybe community will give you advice how to fix them (like in case with FP from HigwaySatr).

It amazes me how anyone can post anything on this forum...
Can't you just dislike this post?

can't understand - are you serious or ironic? but it seems to me - the last one.
if so - let me tell you: I'm really tired of the same dumb process:
discover "new" ROM at this forum -> backup currently running OS -> install new ROM -> make primary setup for it -> test that vital for me feature isn't work -> say 1-2-3 (un)censored words or sentences -> reboot to recovery -> wipe all installed stuff -> restore previous ROM with less bugs inside it -> one more time promise to myself no more trying unknown ROMs -> but... still watch for new releases.
ROM developers have enough time to draw useless first post dividing images, but appears so busy, to spent 2-3 mins for test above mentioned bugs and with real proud post their ROMs with the comment like "my ROM contains the only 3 bugs of total 12"? ))

If you're so dissatisfied, don't change ROM's then.
Hey. There's a good bugless(ughh) ROM it's called stock ROM. If you're not satisfied You can actually tell anything to them cuz you have paid for it. Have you tried that?
If you're so dissatisfied, don't...

my question was not about my satisfaction. it was about statistics - how many bugs from my list and which ones have every ROM published here.
I don't required recommendations or suggestions. I will be glad to see simple answers about each of 12 item - bugs exist or not. from anyone who had test them by himself )
Let me show answer example that I'm expected on:
LOS 14 from HigwayStar
fast charge - working but haven't indicator in status bar.
root - Magisk 16 built in ROM installation script
NFC & safetynet test - working, my payments were accepted lot of times. installing xposed module broke safetynet test (
VOLTE - supported, but I can't test bcz of absence 4G
sim switch of/on - working.
flight mode - after switching it off you can make new calls without any bodymovements.
led indicator - working out of the box. you can setup 16 mln colors, blinking speed and delays.
double tap to wake up - working from the box.
one key (energy saving switcher on left side) - may work, but ROM author decided to switch it off in latest release
dark video - when switching from photo mode to video, picture and video itself becomes noticeable darker than photo especially for dark scenes.
finger print actions - work after reswitching navigation buttons, even without registering FP.
huge bluetooth power consuming - showing more than 10% while in fact the weren't any device connected and BT wasn't in use. simply calculation issue, bcz battery isn't really draining by sleeping BT.
it's not an example. it's my real report about ROM that I'm currently using.
this report may be also about my DotOS usage, but i switched from DotOS to HWS because DotOS - frezed, and HWS - still under development.
Do you know what all bugs(super annoying) the stock ROM have? Did you bust into Lenovo forum and post things like this?
If yes then wait for their update (rip in advance)
If no then go try that and tell me if somebody gives a #@!*
This ROM development is nothing you own. It's developer's hobby which they do in their free time. So creating a thread like this with such a demanding attitude is crossing the line.
You said about the long post on every ROM like intro and blah. Blah. You should read them.
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* Third World War, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at us for messing up your device, we will laugh at you.
If you think you can make something better do it by contributing towards ROM development.
Wow! So much angriness for one simple question! )))
Dear Senior Member Siva Mk, let me ask you why you are wasting your time and writing to me one more "long post",

instead of provide us answers for my question, if you have any one?
You are right - no one owes nothing to nobody! at this and all other forums.
I DON'T REQUIRE from somebody, and from ROM developers especially - any warranties and immediately fixing all existing and not existing bugs. Please reread my very first sentence in first post.
I'm really appreciated for ROM developers' work! All these guys working really hard and give to all of us ROMs, with useful features and tuning.

I simply want to get help from other users (or ROMs' authors) and collect in one place info about ROMs critical bugs, which maybe helpful for all of us here, to choose ROM, most appropriate for himself.
I have a question - I had asked it. On my previous post I gave an example of answer that I expected. If you haven't such answer - please don't grow Universe entropy and simply ignore my posts and topics. Let we all stop this flooding, and will concentrate on help one to another
How many threads like this are going to be opened ? And who are you to tell developers what to do or bemoan the lack of bugless ROMs ? Ask a mod to close this thread because it's useless as no developer cares about your opinion. This is one of the reasons why there should be a down vote button on XDA like there is on reddit.

I'm one of the users legion. I'm those who use ROMs which developers creating not for their own using. As far as developer decided to publish his ROM in the Internet, he MUST be ready to answer the questions about his ROM.
Let me repeat once more to be completely clear:
1) I don't want to test on my own phone ALL published here ROMs.
2) I asked ROMs' users or their authors help in checking and reporting existing of some vital for lot of users bugs, that MAY be present in these ROMs.
Why did you all pounce on me (instead of check and report bugs existing)?
Am I asking anywhere at least one ROM developer to immediately FIX bugs in his ROM?!!
One simple question with pre-prepared themplate to make answer as easy as it possible. Are any criminal in my 12 items bugs list?
Once more I'm urging all to switch from hollywaring to finding bugless ROM or at least clarifying which bugs are exists in each ROM.
Nice thread, Sorry there is no bug-less rom available for P2 right now ?
For me the only rom that has no bugs is stock mm 6 even stock nougat for me has a bug that Lenovo can't solve till now linegue os by HWS is the best with minor bugs that does not affect daily drive

Dude seriously if all people have a attitude like yours developers will just stop building roms altogether.
