[Q] 2 roms questions

Hi, sorry if this thread is short, but i have two question blowing my mind.
1: Why don't whe have a 4.0.4 Cyanogenmod Rom?
2: And can we have a stock 4.1.2 rom? I mean, with motoblur, not cyanogenmod or that kinda variants
I know that motorola isn't collaborating with its upgrades. But, there is any chance?

First of all the boot loader is locked that means no custom kernel that means no proper CM builds, still there is an unofficial CM ROM in the development section take a look at it. And don't forget the funda "search before you post"..

You don't get me at all. I know that there's 3 roms of 4.1.2 CM.
And this was my comment about that, but no ones answers me:
I know that is hard, and i really really really apreciate the work that they're doing.
But, we have 3 roms of cyanogenmod, and the 3 roms have the same bugs.
I repeat. I know, they can't spend the whole free-time that you have working in the creation of the rom. But, why don't you team up and make a unique functional rom.
Or, am i missing something, and for the moment we can't have a functional rom because of motorola or whatever?
I repeat again, sorry if i'm bothering someone, but i ask this from my ignorance.

Then learn how to build your own freaking ROM, and why even start a NEW thread with this junk, it all fits in the CM Q&A thread.
These types of threads are not cool to your dev team. We all work very hard to bring the stuff that we do, to you guys, for free.
If you do not like the bugs in the CM based roms that we have then do not use them and stick to stock and stop basically complaining about it, or do some reading and learn about the process and see why we have these issues, we have all posted about it so many times now it is not even funny.
I saw your post before and chose to ignore it, but now that you have posted a new thread like this, I just had to reply.
--EDIT--
And to answer the questions you put in the first post here:
1) because the source for CM10 with 4.0.4 is not out anymore
2) because motorola will not release a 4.1 or 4.2 stock ROM and kernel, so we can not port that, even our 4.1 and 4.2 CM based roms are still really 4.0.4 because we still have the 4.0.4 version of the kernel underneath.
Again all this has been spelled out too many times now and some reading and searching could have gotten your answers.

I already said this, but, i do not want you to get mad.
If you can't response a single question without freaking out, then, don't answer.
I just gave an opinion, like i said, from my ignorance.

I am not mad BTW, I am just tired of people not doing their own research. You are more than welcome to do some reading on compiling Cyanogenmod, so that you understand what we are up against. Also try searching for compiling cyanogenmod on locked bootloaders.
We (all the A2 devs), have answered these same questions so many times now, it is not even funny. It seems that as of late people have gotten more and more lazy in here, and we just keep hashing the same crap over and over again.
You say it is from your own ignorance, but you do not have to be ignorant, just use the search function or do some reading on your own and find what you need. And I do not want to hear excuses or complaints about the search function, I use it all the time, all you have to do is play with the wording until you find what you want. Also note other devs did not answer your original query either, for probably the same reason, not to put words in their mouth's either.

Also I hate to tell you but most of your devs do "team up" and we work together on our IRC chat room to do dev work, but again reading around the forms would have also told you that as well, as we talk about it quite often.

I think only PA is 4.1.2 so far.. the others are 4.1.1, I think
And Jim's right, I also saw your post in the PA thread and started to reply, but discarded it because I felt I was sounding too mean.. let me try again:
I can say from my personal experience and (relatively low) skill level - it's a mess trying to get all the pieces in place to compile a working ROM from source code for our phone - specifically, the vendor and device files..
I know at least a few A2 devs are working to straighten things out for Edison directly - and a few others working on other Motos with similar hardware and locked bootloaders, which benefits us all.
It's probably safe to say that our phone is in the early stages of true ROM development (as opposed to derivative pseudo-roms and ports) - there is still a lot of work to be done to get something truly stable.
Again, please be patient, or learn and contribute... don't stir the pot.

Hi guys ! This is my 4th Galaxy and every time first thing I've done before ROOT -->CWM--->FULL Back up within CWM--> Unlock with CODE--> Install CM --> Enjoy
That was my formula always and with it I'd be able to save Stock/Rooted fresh OS in case something needs to be done and because I did it with CWM it's really easy to restore. But this time I think I'll hold my horses. Too much chatter about things that was not a problem before ...some OTA updates, lock bootloader, etc. Can anyone create post that cannot be replied to with Q/A that matters and update it as more info become available. I mean questions like should I OTA update (if one available), is good root method available or not, is CWM available etc. Just a few things that EVERYONE in here needs to know. Because as of right now everything is a mess. Bootloader hacked ..but it's not REALLY hacked ...no CWM on official page yet ...some sim unlock method available (non code) etc. I got this nice device and REALLY want to do above formula and start enjoying my i337 but because so many questions and no proper answers I can't. So I guess what I am saying Moderator create Office Q and A that CANNOT be replied to and just update with latest info that checked and working properly. Because too much noise right now. I hope I am not alone asking for some clarity.

Or you could take a little of your precious time to read what is already posted...but I understand how you have better things to do.

There is no real "clarity" of it. It is what it is for now. There are plenty of discussion and info about everything here.
Let's keep all of it out of this thread for now.

Whuddup Homies!

New to the XDA community (sort of always followed forum and posts pertaining to my device) but figured I should pitch in more to help anyway I can. Anyhow will get caught of on the basics of flashing, kernels, roms, etc...so that I can unleash the potential on my device....
I've done several things to it.....Mainly put 4.3 leaked version and rooted it but it only made my mouth water....LMAO I want 4.3 Ditto ROM and must learn the ins and out as I have a Note 2 1317 model from AT&T. Look forward to convo'ing with ya peeps....Take Care Ya DIG!!!

The "Say Hi" Thread.

Announcement , I will drop the support for LG G7

At first hi to all of you , you might know me I made twrp and the first root and patched stuff to be able to run AOSP , so but lately I came to the conclusion that the g7 is just not a good device for devs , so I unrooted installed stock and relocked my boot loader.
From this point of time any given support for the device by me will be ended and never picked up again.
Im sry but if u like the device and want rom etc you need to do it yourself now

Hi, so sad to read this, but thanks for your great work. Can i ask you why you stop with this awesome phone? What is the main problem?

Sorry to hear those news, J0SH1X. Same question as kimo9hero, what did lead to the decision of yours? (If you allow us asking

@J0SH1X thanks for all your work, but I think we're naive if we consider any recent LG phone "developer friendly" since all their latest models were lacking support even from the company (very late updates).

Guys there is hope that we'll see modding and roms for our g7?

I don't think so, without at least one enthusiastic dev it's not possible. There are no resources so any potential dev have to figure everything out by himself, constantly risking to brick an expensive device. Luckily, the stock 10f rom works real well and the hardware is superb. One just risk living without some typical root utilities.
I would be happy for some dev picking it up, but I don't count on it.

questions about having root access, twrp and Android Pie

Well.. I own a Galaxy j4 model sm-j400m and I have been doing research before going to mod it and root. Some days ago Samsung posted via the Samsung members app that they will release Android Pie for this device on July. So the question is...
What will happen with the recovery? What about root access?
Should I keep the original rom with no root and update to pie and then root?
Also I request a complete guide introducing this device and how to root and get TWRP. Yes I know that there are some other posts about.. but I want one explaining everything noob-proof. I'm still learning about this device. Same with Android Oreo. It's not easy for me to adapt to this new system version since I just switched from lollipop.
Please reply if you can. I just want to research everything and allow this post to be useful for everyone who has the same device.

Unless the security features will be updated in any way, I would think we'd be fine. After all, it's just a new operating environment and should have no affect on custom recoveries and the like. However, a) no one can guarantee anything until it actually comes around, and b) I'm pretty sure that if you upgraded, unless you had any persistence at all, you'd need to re-root.
Your best bet would be to just stick with 8.1 for a while until we get the green-light that everything works on Android Pie.
As for the noob's guide, I'll try my best to write on (the Chicken's way!).

Thanks you for replying
Well... I think the same of sticking for a while with Oreo since I don't even have been using for more than a few days. So I'm still new to it. I still have to learn a lot. I want to understand this system before moving to another and also let's wait til pie becomes more mature. I'm not a fan of upgrading fast. I prefer update when everything works. So let's say that I'll keep on Oreo ... Let me root first hdhdhs...
Later.. like end of the year or maybe the next I would consider upgrading to pie.
About the guide... Well.. it would be handy to have some help.. I think this thread needs and deserves a noob-proof guide for rooting and everything that's has to be known.
