Ok so in order to built an official rom, if i understand this correctly, the developers must have the device drivers (released by OEMs - qualcomm, for example) and these must be built for the correct android version.
So if you look at a galaxy 1 (old device), there's no official Lollipop rom since there are no official drivers. So if you encounter a lollipop rom, know that it's ported (and expect issues). The best roms will always be based on official drivers.
True?
Anyways - now here's what I don't get: both Oxygen and Cyanogen are based on official firmware (drivers)?
Also - are they competing?
Last - what is the latest official firmware build of OPO (5.0? 5.1?)
Thanks!

Hello! Dear Developers And Seniors on this forum I want you all to guide me in updating my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)(Indian Version- 3G, GSM, WIFI, 16 Gb) to Android Kitkat 4.4.x.
I know there are several ROM's regarding the same on this forum. But I am little bit confused as to choose which ROM?
My Current Firmware:
Samsung's Official 4.4.2 Firmware & the device is NOT ROOTED.
My Requirements:
1 - I want a "Complete Bug Free" Kitkat 4.4.x ROM for my device.
2- I want that ROM which includes all official features of Kitkat 4.4.x and in which all features of Kitkat 4.4.x works flawless.
3- I want that ROM with which my device wont get SLOW or HANGS/FREEZES or SHUTS OFF.
4- I want that ROM which has a little bit Samsung type looks (Optional Requirement).
My MAJOR Confusion:
1- I visited the Official CyanogenMod Website and saw that there is CM 11 made for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P 3100. The latest version there is "NIGHTLY 27-11-2014".
Now, I am confused about what is included in this CM11 Nightly 27-11-2014 version and what are the bugs inside it (Is it Totally Bug free and fulfills my above mentioned requirements or not).
2- Whether I should go for Official CM 11 Nightly 27-11-2014 Version or the ROM's listed on XDA Forum such as OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
3- What is the difference between Official CM 11 Nightly ROM Vs. OMNIROM, SLIMKAT, CRDROID, DHOLLMEN,CARBON ROM?
I request you all to answer my post soon so that I could be able to run the best Kitkat 4.4.x ROM on my device just like you.:

The difference between the different ROMs available can be features, kernel, etc.
What OS are you running on your computer? Before you can install the ROM. you will have to install a custom recovery. This thread should in the Q&A section, so I will ask a moderator to move it there.
Don't be offended, but I'm stunned. Not with your ignorance, but how you ignore this community rules. You demand answers for questions, that are all already given on those subforums. I suppose you didn't even read sticked threads. Don't make me wrong, we are all here to help each other.
There's no such thing as super stable, full featured, bugs-free rom. Noone will also have time to write a book about differences between them. You want some answers, just read. All I can do is to give you a few suggestions, look for:
1. P3100 CM11 M11 snapshot (AndroidAndi)
2. Newest GAPPS (ie. Full modular)
3. Eventually OC kernel (AGNi, Dhollmen or Blackhawk)
Before even thinking about any customs, you need to know about:
1. Rooting / custom recoveries (ie. TWRP)
2. Flashing methods (Odin / CWM)
I can't write about all of this in one thread, it's pointless, all is here, just search.
If you want to know about differences between rooms than just look for first post in each thread dedicated to them. But you should start with Cyanogenmod, you can call it a 'base' for many other distributions. (This is not quite true, but it's another story).

It is not working i want to root my p3100 n upgrade it to slimkat official
Sent from my GT-P3100 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm having HTC Desire 626G+, Running DOT OS 1.1 (Android 7.1.2).
And i'm looking for Oreo (8.0) roms for my device or my chip set (MT6592).
But i'm unable to find one, so i'm going to port a rom for myself!
And i want to know one thing...
Are there any tutorials regarding porting Android of higher version (8.0) to a device having a lower Android version (7.1.2).
All I need is, does the normal 'porting' method applies for the above or not. If not, please suggest me a tutorial.
Thanks in advance!!!

I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S8+ model SM-G955U (Snapdragon) on T-Mobile USA
- build number NRD90M.G955USQU1AQJ8
- service provider SW ver: SA0MC-SM-G955U_OYN_TMB_0187 98891 a315a30494859 TMB/TMB/TMB
- The phone is a USA version purchased directly from TMOUSA.
From the build number, I guess my bootloader is version 1, right?
What is the best method to flash TWRP recovery and then install a custom rom on my device?
There's a post here, but it mentions version 5 bootloaders. Will that method work for me? Is there a better method instead? I've been reading threads all day, but I'm more confused than when I started due to the different models of the S8+.
Is there a LineageOS v15 or AOKP 8.1 ROM for my device? I want a rooted ROM without GAPPS and I prefer a fully-featured ROM like AOKP. Any suggestions for me? (I want to move up from 7.1 and I prefer a stable ROM, so I thought Android 8.1 might be the best option.)
A little information first -
Original Device Configuration: One Plus 7 Pro Nebula Blue Purchased From T-Mobile - Stock Firmware
Current Device Config: Flashed To Oxygen OS International Version - 9.5.11 - Running With Root, Custom Kernel and TWRP
=======================================================================================================================
I was thinking about upgrading to Android 10 (International version), but I see that there are (were?) a lot of problems with that release. Is that still the case? and if not, what is the best method for me to follow if I want to wipe everything and start fresh on Android 10 (International version not TMobile)?Or is recommended to use one of the custom OxygenOS/Android 10 roms for bug fixes, stability and battery life improvements?
I've actually been running this phone stock with root and a custom kernel and have loved it to the point where I didnt feel the need for a custom rom, but I'm not opposed to it if it means a better Android 10 experiences VS whats available from OP.
Hi
I Received some old S7-930F Device.
Currently it is Rooted with custom SuperMan ROM, Running over Android 8.0.0.
Basically, I want to make sure phone is up-to-date as "much as possible" in terms of:
1. Is there any android update newer than Android 8, which is stable, for Galaxy S7?
I know there's beta by lineage based on Android 10, but looking for only stable version.
If there is - Can someone please share some guide / thread with updating instructions?
2. Is there any update to baseband version?
Currently the phone runs with G930FXXU2ERG2
If there is - where can I get it, and how to install it?
Much appreciated
Thanks
No theres not sorry

Last version of S7 firmware is FXXS6ESGD, get it of sam mobile or Samfirm tool. There's some good roms based on that, de bloated that run really well.
