Hello,
I am looking for Android developers on the ROM level.
It's about making a custom Rom for a smartphone manufacturer.
It should not only be about the boring features of the branding / manufacturer but also about creating a really practical / fast and state-of-the-art Android Costum ROM for different device generations.
I would have to clarify some initial questions and I would be happy if someone would like to make this his heart project and possibly join the project.
If you are in Germany that would be great, but this is optional.
Best

Hello all guys, first of all I am new here so if I am going wrong somewhere please correct me.
As we all know XDA is full of great & contributing developers but as long as i can see this power of XDA speaded so my main aim is concentrating this power to a unified direction towards something good:angel:
So please read full thread and try to understand.
As we all know there are man famous ROM all around androids.(like the famous CYANOGENMOD and its really great) but what about non-rooted device and this also needs a far consideration of PROs & new comers(like me) can't go anywhere with it.
So what i and other newcomers thinking is to get something new which don't need root at all & it should also be able customize phone at best and we can replace it with company app. And if this project succeed then we will also consider to create a new awesome class ROM with it.
So here are some details of this project.
This project will cover all devices(non-rooted and rooted also in some case) from 4.0+ to any other new coming version of Android.
what will we do in this project.
1)Make best apps for basic needs of a phone or any other related task.
now what conditions this app should satisfy?
1)100% accuracy.
2)Light weight.(Should consume minimum RAM)
3)Available for all devices(4.0+ minimum or you an go for more older versions)
4)Should be efficient and good enough to be replaced with company apps(like gallery,camera,calculator etc.)
5)Will not be copy of older versions will be inspired by material design & Android 5.0
6)Having slick & stylish icon( cause first impression is your last impression) & awesome interfaces.
for 6th point developer will be able to take help from this thread for testing on wide range of devices & choosing best icon & interface which most of the users like(because today for developers the only & biggest problem is get to know what his/her users want)
The best example of this kind of apps is AcDisplay(The best yet i see except its available only for 4.4+)
why start with us?
1)You will be able to test it on wide range of device & get best review by other developers also.
2)You will be able to get to know what interaction your app will do with other app(for example camera should be interact with gallery of other developer so it can optimize user experience)
3)Contribute in creating best app packages which can interact direct to non-rooted system & optimize user experience & performance with best looks also(for example CM has best package of File manager, Music player Camera, Gallery etc).
The advantage of this over CM will be is it will be able to work with any non rooted device(4.0+ also) & will be totally secure. And having awesome new slick design & will also be well test & debugged.
And if this project will grow good enough then we will also be able we can also start thinking about making XDA's own app store.
Some guys might think that : Ok, thats quite good enough but where should we start?
So here are some suggetions to start with.
1)File Manager(CM File manager non -rooted & well tested for RAM & functioning efficiency)
2)Apollo 2.0(with new awesome icon cause the old one is not that good yet and free from some bugs)
3)Gallery (A new one with awesome perfomance & inteface with hide option(to hide some secret photos ) and non-lagging user experience)
4)Camera( with awesome new functionalities provided by CM but also available for non-rooted 4.0+ devices)
5)AcDisplay(well debugged & availabe for 4.0+ also:angel
Thanks for paying attention. Sorry if I am going out of topic of any mistakes(Cause i m really new here)

Agree
Yes bro you are right we really need such collection of apps.
I means Google play is great & CM is also great. But Google play is not that good yest as CM & CM requires root. So it will be a great deal if we will be able to get best apps all in one package.
And app store of this great forum by itself will also be a great sensation on android world which also might lead us to new OS made by this forum itself/
I am looking for advice on buying an android device that is both as small as possible and also has had a custom rom made available by one of the leading custom rom developers. I would like to install a rom that is reliable, as close to stock AOSP as possible and doesn't have any google apps or Facebook etc installed.
I would like to get the latest/greatest best phone possible that meets those two criteria. Can anyone give me some suggestions or advice?
Thank you for your help.
Greetings Srs,
I'm the Zero 5 Pro owner which I guess, most of the Zero series owners, we are a little disappointed about the support from the vendor.
For this matter, I'm starting to compile from ASOP with the latest source code for this device.
I found Infinix already removed the stock firmware from the official website, so I can't find the current firmware which the device is currently running x603-h575b-n-190610v136 (if any of you have it back up and don't mind sharing the flashable version please add a link for the binaries, it could be useful).
I'm figuring the device tree, new kernel, and MT6575 documentation (along with the other device's documentation the phone it's built with) so I can customize as much as I can to make a clean build, no blobs, and trash, just to have a feel of the new Android in which I think a phone that could live a couple of years more.
Since the Android Studio AVD is not that customizable as I would like to replicate the phone components I0m looking for a decent emulator where I can specify the devices I know the phone has, and try it there first before going to the hardware itself.
Since I can't post directly in the Infinix Zero 5 Thread, if you please move the post to that thread, do so for me.
Also if you want to share advice, tips or suggestions, tools, etc, please feel free to let your comment below.
If I have news and advances in this process I'll be sharing under this same thread.
Cheers,
crappy OS GREAT HARDWARE...
Phronesis ROM had more useful function than the 05
Maybe some of you have already seen the the crowd funded project to develop the Volla Phone with a Google-free custom ROM, that is now close to shipping. This is just the beginning of the next steps. We want to make an alternative for Stock Android popular for consumers and need to reinforce the developer team.
We also want to publish the source code of this system on GitHub and already started with the custom Volla Launcher. You can find our GitHub project by the name "hellovolla".
Does someone know freelancers, that are interested to contribute in part time? Or can you recommend job boards to find them? The Volla project is an idealistic project to protect the users privacy and make this available for consumers, that are not able to flash a Smartphone on their own.
Here is the link of our job offering: https://volla.online/blog/files/october-jobs.html
In case, that his link is blocked you can combine volla-dot-online with /blog/files/october-jobs.html
Unfortunately I can't help directly but hope for lot's of answers for you!
