Hey, I've been looking for ROMs for a while now, and was wondering if anyone could tell me some which fits this criteria:
- Android 4.4.4
- Multiwindow
and Yes I do know there is XMultiWindow module, but I don't want to use Xposed Module.
Cheers

That's what I've been doing, I've done around 10 ROMs and none of them have it, so I wanted to know if you knew any that did have it. All i want is multwindow
go read the rom threads or used xposed.

Can you read? Im not asking for the best rom/kernel. Im just asking for a ROM that has MultiWindow function built into it.

yea, but they still dont allow these. the answer will be the same always, read the threads/ops, decided yourself what you want to try out, try out different roms/kernels, then decide for yourself. they have threads here, so you can read them, not so others can read them for you.

Okay yes, I apologise if this is not allowed in this thread. But im asking for a ROM that HAS Multiwindow function built into it. Yes, trying different ROMs and Kernels will eventually help me find the answer, but there are so many ROMS out there and I'm asking for a ROM that has this function in it. Instead of me searching around which will take me a while, I asked here to save me some time.

Flashing every ROM and seeing if it has Multiwindow would take a few days. If you don't know the answer, dont reply to this thread. simple.
Multiwindow is big deal. If a ROM has it, its listed in the OP.

q&a is for many things, but not for others to tell you what ROM to run, that's your job. read the q&a titles, no one else is asking what ROM they should run.

lol, days my butt. you'd be lucky to use a partial day flashing Roms with multiwindows, maybe just a few hours total.
Well you just download a bunch, stick them on sd/otg flash, boot, flash , boot. You don't need to reconfigure the OS every time just to see if it has multiwindow
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
@Andypandiiee I'd highly recommend looking at the OPs and see which has multiwindow. Part of being on XDA is reading and discovering for yourself. I don't think this is a best ROM/Kernel thread so I don't see any problem with it. But there are plenty of ROMs, and people do use a multitude of them.
Yes, as mentioned...ROM opening posts almost always list the features, or links to a site that does.
If you don't want to read the opening posts and look for multi window listed....perhaps flashing ROMs isn't for you? Reading and reading and reading some more is what XDA is all about. Especially the opening posts of ANYTHING you are thinking if flashing. ?
Edit: the amount of time this thread has gone on.....you could have found your ROM long ago by reading the different rom features.
It seems apparent no one is going to go look for you.
We got an RC party going on here? I had to hand in my RC badge a while back but I hope you guys still like me!
As stated ROM and kernel choice are influenced by a huge amount of variables, that's something you'll have to find out yourself by trying a bunch and seeing what works for you. "What ROM should I use?" is just a thinly veiled way of asking what's the best ROM, so it's against the rules.
Thread closed.
Can anyone suggest me a good kernel that works with LiquidSmooth rom and saves battery? I have bad exprience with kernerls.

Best ROM/Kernel threads are not allowed on xda. Your best bet, and what everybody SHOULD recommend you do, is just keep trying different kernels until you find one that suits your needs. Everybody's usage patterns are different and what may work for some doesn't work for others. Nobody can tell you what's best for you because they don't know how you use your phone. So again, just try 'em out till you find one that works for you. It's not like flashing kernels is hard or time consuming, so go to town.

Stop being lazy and read? The OP of a ROM thread will tell you if it's AOSP based or CAF. Same goes for kernel threads. The OP will tell you if it's made for AOSP or CAF ROMs. Next time put in the effort and do a little research for yourself instead of expecting people here to spoon feed you. If you're that worried about boot loops, just read for maybe 30 seconds and it wouldn't be an issue...

You're welcome. And fyi- it's damn near impossible to actually brick the N5 so you're safe. If it bootloops, flash another kernel. And make a nandroid before you start flashing, and you're fully covered.

Liquidsmooth has their own kernel in the Rom. They are using the kernel called UBER. So if you find that the kernel included with the Rom is not working well for you, you need to download the stock 4.4 kernel. I will find it and post a link here for you. You need to flash that. It will save you from other kernels conflicting with UBER kernels heavy optimizations.
Here is the stock kernel. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358542125

Why the change? Best threads have always evolved into flame wars. Some kind of sociology experiment on XDAs part? I hope I'm proven wrong here and people can stick to objective facts rather than emotional based opinions.
So i was flashing roms on my 1+1, then suddenly the OnePlus logo on starting did not show up so i ran a backup .Now it is there but i cannot see the powered by android .I mean that there is some kind of error.
Can anyone help me get back the original logo?
It's due to a bug in recent builds, it's nothing to worry about, it'll be rectified in a future firmware update.

Hello, most of custom ROM OTA is not a incremental updates unlike OEM does. Always official custom ROM eg Lineage, RR all give full ROM package.
My question to you, any ROM that supports incremental updates through OTA like OEM does?

I'm not sure whether it is still active after death of CyanogenMod.

It should list the features available in the ROM in the ROM thread. If it has OTA it'll be listed, or just post in the ROM thread and ask if it gives OTAs.
You can just download and flash the incremental updates manually, what's the difference. Don't be lazy.

Second, learn to read and comprehend. I didn't say anything about all ROMs having incremental updates. I said for them to read the ROM thread and that the features of the ROM should be listed and "IF" the ROM offers OTA updates, it would be listed in the features. And if OTAs are not offered then they could just manually download any ROM updates that "are" offered and flash them manually.

The XDA rules state that members are to search first because in most cases the question you have has been asked before or at least is already easily available by using the XDA search feature. Also, the reason for the ROM threads are not just for members to get ROMs, it's also for them to read everything they might need to know about the ROM, it's features and the things required to flash and use it. This information should be in the first post of the ROM thread. The rest of the thread will contain questions about the ROM and troubleshooting issues. XDA is about sharing information but it's also about making that information available for you to find for yourself. Just take time and read because what you want to know is out there if you just look.
The reason I'm saying for you to read through the ROM threads is because you'll make a more accurate choice of which ROM you want because anything anyone might suggest may not be satisfactory for you and that would just cause you to make another thread or post to ask for another opinion. It will come out to the best for you if you just read and try a few until you find one you like. It's what you'll end up doing anyway no matter what anyone suggests, so just make a long story short without all the unnecessary posts from either of us.

OTA doesn't mean incremental, so if a ROM offers OTA it doesn't automatically offer incremental OTA. Wrong information!

I've already told one person this in this thread, now I have to tell you as well. Learn to read.
Pay close attention to the details now.
I never said anything about a ROM that supports OTA means that it also automatically supports incremental updates. You are making a connection between those two things that I never said anything about.
If you read the first post of this thread, the OP specifically asked if there are any ROMs that support incremental updates via OTA. My reply was, if a ROM here supports incremental updates via OTA, it would be listed in the changelog or it would be in a list of features that the ROM supports.
So, that means, the only thing wrong here is your interpretation of what I posted. Nice try though.

Sorry, but your post is just unclear and ambigous. You only wrote about OTA and didn't even mention incrementals, so your post seemed to either imply that you thought that that was the same or didn't get the question. And btw, incrementals and OTA don't really have a relation, there can be non-OTA incrementals and non-incremental OTAs. So your post wasn't clearly answering the question, so not poor reading on my side but poor writing on your side.

Exactly haha. Not sure why people are jumping the gun on development for this phone already. My Moto g5 plus took longer than this from its initial release to get development going. And now that phone is very active in the community.
Anyway, point is, just give it some time like this guy said. The phone isn't exactly a flagship anyway. And the Android one version hasn't even been released here yet.

thanks for the comments. how long have you been in the developer scene with HTC. Also nobody is jumping the gun. We aren't allowed to go to devs and ask for eta's so I just made this thread so they may see and hopefully give some love to this phone. All I need is root and a recovery I can do the rest.
Look on the bright side, pixel 2 been out for a month. And even we are slow on development. You'll get root and probably a few roms, it will take time though.
Also the fact that bootloader is unlockable when phone cost less than $400 is kinda big deal

Very well put. I only usually get the flagship HTC phones but this time I chose this since it was T-Mobile specific. And I waited to long to get u11 so using this till next HTC flagship comes. I look forward to seeing you around.
HTC phones from my experience don't take too long to get root. They average about a month or so. Keep in mind my last HTC was the EVO LTE.
You don't need a custom recovery for root.
You can use Magisk to patch a stock boot.img for your device (for example, one found here) and flash the patched image via fastboot. Then you're rooted, and you didn't even need TWRP.
I won't be purchasing this device, so unfortunately I can't build a TWRP for it (that and I'm retiring in 8 posts). If someone else wants to pursue building it, I'm willing to offer minimal assistance.

There's a thread on xda about building TWRP. I've never built TWRP before, but I know about using build environments and whatnot. Google "how to build TWRP" I believe haha, as simple as it sounds it should come up in the top few results.
Anyway, I think you and I should help each other out here like you said. I'm using an older imac since I sold my old PC. It only has 4gb ram, but I'm going to install Ubuntu tomorrow on the Mac as a partition, and then hopefully I can get a build environment going quickly and start work.
What are you doing so far? Are you able to build too? Or maybe we can both research and bounce ideas off each other while I try it out. Whatever you prefer. Just PM me I guess.

I can build I have a great machine and all ready downloaded the source. The only difference in building twrp for a new device is we have to make our own files from scratch. And it would be nice if we had an ruu to restore back from if things don't go well during testing. We can figure it out. Help is always good more people trying different things usually gets results faster.

that's gonna be the hard part. Finding a boot.Img for T-Mobile version. There's no links to software anywhere that I've seen. We may be stuck waiting for an update just to get the files we need

Hopefully something good or I'll end up with a bricked device till ruu comes
I would love to eventually see a ROM that gives the T-Mobile variant a similar appeal as the Android One version. I bought the U11 Life as a backup to my Pixel 2 (and to benefit from T-Mobile's Carrier Freedom promo, as well) and I was very surprised as to how much I actually enjoyed using the phone!
Brought me back to the days when I had the One M7.
Just so everyone is aware...... Once you unlock your bootloader you can then go super CID, once you are super CID you can flash ANY GSM boot.img , so there is no roadblock on that end. The roadblock is no custom recovery, if we had a custom recovery then we are open to a world of wonders and amazement. So get to work......
