And philz if he agrees can't contact him though
Features:-
1)Stock cm features
2)active display replaced by active notifications and enhancement to make it more like MotoX. As the app by Akshay was made open source
3) full automation on Locking and unlocking the devices and hand and wave gesture there won't be a app but code for this which would be placed in framework and SystemUi, even the gesture would work in gallery
4) Power shell Replaces Superuser
5) a feature in security would be placed which will be like whenever a wrong pin or password is detected at the keygaurd a photo and location of the device would be sent to ur email address
6) A launcher which would never have the skin like the aosp or trebuchet launcher but will be based on Aosp launcher
7) stock icons will be replaced by something new
Planned features :-
1) active notifications and touchless control like feature may get integrated in the nightlies (yes toucless control is possible with pocket sphinx)
2)our very own gapps with Aroma installer where selecting the Google now launcher would be optional
3)delta update app can be created if we get funded and able to get Jenkins server I am bankrupt
4) Our touch less control gets integrated with Google Now that's why there may not be a need of the Gel Launcher
5) don't get over excited we won't have every feature of Moto X or any other phone
And finally nothing from omni and any other Roms only small and tiny fixes to dalvik bionic and art would get cherry-picked
And speaking of cherry-picks we will have gerrit code rewiev by March 10 for sure

[Q][REQ] MIUI for the Moto G

I just bought this awesome device and I'm extremely happy with it so far. Great design, unrivaled performance at this price. It has great dev support (thank you for the hard work, devs), everithing is just fine.
My previous device was an Xperia X8, I used it for 3 years. It's kinda old and slow and has a very limited hardware. But the fact that there is a working MIUI port for even this old and crappy handset made me wondering why isn't the G supported.
I'm neither a developer nor a programmer, and altough I'm using custom stuff such as ROMs and kernels since 2011, I can only call myself an experienced user. I'm a former MIUI user, and i found it the fanciest and even the best ROM out there for the X8. I miss its features and UI, but as I mentioned earlier, I don't have the knowledge necessary for porting the ROM myself. Therefore must I ask/request it here: Would it be possible to make a working MIUI ROM for the G? I don't know how much work that would take, but I wanna kindly request the developers to at least give it a try.
Sadly I'm only 16 and I can't donate. All that I can do is to hit the thanks button and maybe to help at testing.
Best regards, thanks in advance

[Completed] The Future of Android

The Future of Android is becoming uncertain; more and more news about android 7 being the last version of android is upsetting, then being named android Nougat... Clearly, something new is needed; xda has proven itself to be the epicenter of android development; so, it would be fitting that xda would carry on Android after google, proper voting of new features, control of an OS by the consumers, and others affected! The OS could be incredible; hence why a petition needs to be brought up, for a software that we have all been waiting for! A software made for all devices, full control! If you want simple customization abilities or the most advanced they've ever been! Features perhaps like: your own boot screen, your own selection of colours and designs for your home screen settings and notification panel and play store, write sd as internal to be seamless and open as possible: take an sd of your current phone's set up and make copies of it; media and all! Plus, being able to put it in any phone/tablet that has twrp/cwm and have your other device instantly! A universal limitless, fully compatible OS made by you, made by me, made by all of us! A new android, a new developer/consumer OS. Perhaps XDA OS or maybe Android X?! We'd all decide! What do you think? The future of tech is waiting.

[Sony] Open Devices Project

Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.

Excited to see that y'all are opening things up
As someone who has been enjoying the Xperia 10 since launch, I'm excited to see that y'all are opening things up! It'd be amazing to see a list of Sony projects used in these phones and whether they are open source, whether there's a plan to open-source them, or details on why there is a necessity for them to remain proprietary. Having roadmaps for these things feels like a simple way to maintain straight-forward communication with users.
Thanks for sharing this with everyone and striving to keep things open!

Since now the kernel and firmware are freely available, when can we expect a build of TWRP to be available for the Xperia 10?

Hi, I love the Xperia Open Devices initiative, please keep that up.
A few issues though: the Xperia 1 still hasn't been added to the Open Devices list, and Xperia Transfer Mobile doesn't work with the Xperia 1 and Xperia 10. And DRM keys for the camera is a bit lame; the original Xperia Z didn't have DRM issues when installing custom-ROMs on it, and neither should newer high-end Xperia flagships.
Anyway, my requests/feedback:
1) Please add the Xperia 1 to the Open Devices list (it's beyond me how you can include the Xperia 10 to Open Devices, but not the Xperia 1, what's up with that?).
2) Please update the Xperia Transfer Mobile so that it works with the Xperia 1/10, and also with Xperia devices that run on LineageOS (I have LineageOS running on my Xperia Z, and XTM doesn't work on it, and that's lame). I need to move my app data from my Xperia XZ to my Xperia 1.
3) Please bring back the stylish OmniBalance design as seen and perfected on the original Xperia Z and especially the Z2. The Xperia 1 design is a step in the right direction compared to the Xperia X series (whose design was very generic and pedestrian compared to the Xperia Z series), and the Xperia 1 design is reminiscent of the Xperia Z2 somewhat, but it's not quite a home run if you know what I mean. The Xperia Z2 is the sexiest smartphone ever, looks totally futuristic and something like straight out of Back to the Future 2 or Voltron.
Anyway, that's just my 2 cents. It's not exactly comforting that the Xperia 1 still isn't on the Open Devices list. Over the years, I've had a lot of respect for Sony for your Open Devices commitment.

@jerpelea
Now that Sony very regretfully abonded the xz1c after 1 Android update, although the device having treble etc.
When do you expect the drivers for xz1c for Android 10 is stable.
https://developer.sony.com/file/dow...es-for-aosp-android-10-0-kernel-4-14-yoshino/
The word on the forums are the drivers are unstable as of now, to be used for meaningful Android 10 aosp.
