Somewhat recently team XDANDROID released an Android build for WM. However these ROM's only work with the HTC devices they were intended to work on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601751
For those of us without an HTC device, I was wondering if it would be possible to create a universal ROM for designated screen sizes (one for qvga, one for vga, etc) and have them work on devices that are powerful enough, with the appropriate resolution. Or do you just have to create one for each phone?
I personally own a Samsung Epix (i907), and I am extremely disappointed in Samsung's job of porting WM, and releasing the 6.5 update (it was supposed to come out in December, it keeps getting delayed. They did this with the Blackjack II when 6.0 came out) and am not a huge fan of the available ROM.
If not, is there a possible workaround to let me use android on my device? Like an emulator of some sorts? All m searches have turned up nothing useful.
Well.. Making a universal ROM would be extremely difficult, and a HUGE ROM.. Because you'll need drivers for every device then..
Yea TheDeadCpue is right. That would be too much... I know how you feel because I own an i907 as my main phone and im very disappointed in the rom developments. Hopefully we receive our official one this month and we might have a new cook making rooms for us next month!
Just waiting for a Andriod ROM for the HD2!
Hi All
Companies like HTC , Samsung & LG ...ect each one developing their own special Android Rom to differentiate their products from others.
I wish to see things in the opposite side, like why we can't see something like CyanogenMod Phone, we saw something like HTC First (Facebook phone), pure Android with Facebook application, but why people in CyanogenMod until now didn't try to go for a company like HTC and let HTC for example make their phone.
I like CyanogenMod but, mostly it will not work like the stuck rom, because of that I removed every CyanogenMod I installed it after few days from trying it, in spite of that I loved each CyanogenMod rom I have installed .
whish people in CyanogenMod listen to me
I heard that in China Miui made their smartphone and they released 3 smartphones until now, I know it is such a big step but they can give it a try
Guys, do you agree with me ?
They just might make their own phone....
Sounds good, which company is gonna do it?
you're right, with cyanogen mod phone we can have hard-hardware optimization, a tsock phone with no stock limits, like Xiaomi...
Cyanomgen is a team who builts the most stable roms. Their roms have became the baseroms for all the other roms for each device. Also canonical used cm files for ubuntu touch builds.
In other words cm iys a team who helps a lot of devices- whose oems have stopped supporting them- to stay alive.
It's very difficult to see a device which would be developed by Cyanogen Team and an Oem like HTC first as building an CM device would be against oem's philosophy and marketing. Evwn morw impossible is to see a device by CM as building a device from the zero is very very expensive

You're asking why a free software development team hasn't tried to mass-manufacture a cellphone? It's a whole different game my man, cyanogenmod is not a multi-billion dollar corporation.

Well, they are a software team, I know that guys, the Roms created by CyanogenMod are the most popular in Android world,..
Ok let's say we don't want CyanogenMod to manufacturer a smartphone, but as "jordanishere" said, there should be a smartphone with CyanogenMod rom.
Why to install this rom I have to root my smartphone.
I'm looking for a solution like when I turn my phone on there should be an option weather to use CyanogenMod or what ever stock or company rom, same way you select one from different launchers .
so my smartphone will work smoothly without a missing drivers or stuff that doesn't work.
the manufacturing companies also have to open their minds .............. the company which will take such step ..I believe it will dominate the market.
I believe that in Android world we should have the ability to choose what we want, buying Android device from X company doesn't mean that I have to use their Rom

Oh boy you must be really new, This has always been the way OEM seperate themselves from each other. And with the open nature of android they have no reason not to make their own Distro of android. Also you have to understand that the missing drivers are not always an option as Base android or AOSP has rules about things being open and most OEM use closed sourced drivers because they dont make the drivers. A whole other company does and they are in control of how those drivers are used. As an example. HTC doesnt own all the software drivers in their device. The BT drivers are done by another company, the wifi drivers done by a different company, radio drivers another comapny and so on and so on.
Even CM changes the base android coding a whole lot from the base AOSP coding.

No major company is going to give you all those features so their tech support has to be on the phone 24/7 talking to idiots that fried their device.
That being said unless Cyogen people made their own device and marketed it themselves(read lots and lots of money) it wouldn't be the same at all except for the name.

Yes it's very exciting.
It's Oppo N1.
Lastly, at the event Oppo announced their rumored partnership with Cyanogen. While no further details were given, the Oppo N1 is going to be able to run pure Android thanks to CyanogenMod. It's speculated that customers will be able to choose between Color OS and CyanogenMod upon ordering the N1 from the Oppo website.

After all my dream became true and One plus one now is a reality
I believe I can claim a free one plus one with shipping to my door since I'm one of the first whom asked for a Cyanogenmod phone.
Link to article is below.
"Amid the mad rush to buy new iPhones this week, Android was still in the headlines. Perhaps the biggest news was in regards to CyanogenMod (CM): The group behind the custom Android software is now an official company and may have its first hardware partner.
Not familiar with CM? Most mainstream Android device owners probably aren’t and they’re missing out. CM has long been a great software option for those that want what may be an even better version of Android than Android itself. The small group of developers behind CM have made their custom software available for at least four years. So why isn’t CM software on mainstream phones? Users need to have root access to their handset; something that most people have no idea how to gain, or even know about.
Still, in the overall market — particularly with Android enthusiasts — CM has a solid base: It’s estimated that more than 7.5 million Android phones run the software with its custom improvements over native Android. And why not when CM offers features such as performance boosts due to CPU overclocking, better custom theme options and support for FLAC audio files, to name a few.
CM raised $7 million in venture capital this week and one of the easiest ways it can boost usage of its software is to make it easier to install. That’s exactly what the new company plans to do. Instead of a multi-step process that requires a computer to install CM, the company is working on an app for the Google Play store that will do all of the hard work.
It would also help CM if phones were launched with its software and it appears that may happen next week. Oppo’s N1 could be the first handset partner for the young company. An announcement is planned for September 23 and based on a teaser video, it appears a version of the N1 will ship with CM pre-installed."

Yeah, I read about the corp thing a few days ago on Facebook.
Not sure how I feel about it.
What will it mean to all the awesome AOSP ROM's produced around here that are based off CM's code.
But, I do hope it means I'll eventually get to use an AOSP ROM with the APT-X bluetooth codec. It's the only thing CM doesn't have, that I really, really want.
Anyways, anytime a new company is formed, there will be moral mistakes made and also some pretty awesome things should happen. So give CM time to make and fix mistakes, and then get settled in as a company.
Its been over a year now since Cyanogen Inc launched and produced its first release on a commercial product. Many of us bought a OnePlus One because Cyanogen provides fast updates and a smoother cleaner experience than most manufacturer flavours of Android. Has Cyanogen lived up to your expectations?
I couldn't care less about cm inc. I got the one+one for the spec and style. Good luck to cm inc on there travel to better things. New os would be nice...I mean not just a Google copy with mods.

Didn't buy a Cyanogen phone, i bought an Oppo....
I don't care what Cyanogen Inc. does, I just love my phone. I honestly don't care about official updates. When I can have the latest and greatest by just flashing an unofficial rom. IMHO.
I actually don't care about cm12s official update because I'm running great 5.x ROMs since at least 3 months ... But one thing is sure: I wouldn't have interested in this device if it hadn't had the CyanogenMod trademark.
Hi everybody here
I'm totally new to Samsung Development (I owned Sony Devices for many years)
I heard all across the Internet that Exynos Devices doesn't have any AOSP ROMs, all ROMs for them are TouchWiz Based.
But today I've found this : Galaxy S6 Sources By Samsung
Does this mean this device will get love from AOSP Developers? i.e CM Team?
You know, the only reason that stops me from buying this TOTALLY AWESOME device is this.
I'll buy an S6 ASAP if I it gets AOSP Support :good:
Please say if this lovely device gets AOSP or not.
Thanks, Many Regards :fingers-crossed:
Considering this is already looking to rank as one of the best selling Android devices of all time, I would highly doubt anyone suggesting we won't have AOSP based roms at some point in the near future. The exynos processor does make the matter more complicated, but not impossible. So I'd say buy with confidence if this is the only thing holding you back.
