has Anyone managed to port TWRP to the Z flip yet?
I was looking on other forums and looks like they have ported it to the fold 2, I did try and build from source but dont have any luck yet
I have done similar stuff in the past and just gotten my hands on the z flip. I'd be willing to give it a shot, but idk what's the interest for this phone that not many have, and even fewer are willing to root.

Hey guys,
I didn't really know where to put that so I decided that here is a good place for that.
So basically I have the One S but not the one with the Snapdragon S4 processor. Mine has a Snapdragon S3. And I'm not the only one with that. But the bad thing about it is that there is only one or two custom ROMs availible (all Sense based). So now I want to get involved and try to port CyanogenMod to the device. But I don't have any experience in Android developing. Are there any tutorials that tell specifically how to port a ROM to another device without having a CM/AOSP base? What programming languages do I have to know? What do I have to have?
I already thougt that the best way to port ROMs is to take the ones from the Sensation and just port them (the Sensation is pretty similar to the One S villec2). But I don't really know what to do and how to do that.
I'm willing to learn and I know that this process could take a long time (maybe moths, idk?).
Thanks in advance.
Hmm.Maybe if you ask on Cyanogenmod forums it will be better
AW: Port a CyanogenMod
Asked there but didn't get any help so far. I hope I can get help in any forum. Is developing for Android such a closed thing? Do you have to be in this thing since the start of it or did I miss something out?

I have been locked into contracts forever and am finally in a couple of months out of contract and plan on purchasing a phone out of contract. I have had mixed experiences with rooting my phones and the ROMs for different models. With my next purchase I would like to pick a phone from a manufacturer that is easy to create stable ROMs and wanted your guys input.
One of the phones I had success with in the past was the original motorola droid and then moved to the xperia play which I couldnt do anything too without paying someone to unlock it, which I never did. I currently have the galaxy s and it seems ok for ROMs, though I read a G+ post from one of the XDA developers that stated samsung was difficult to work with and what they release for code and was a big pain to create ROMs from. He mentioned that Sony mobile was getting much better, but in the past I've leared to loathe Sony. At any rate what manufacturers are currently good to look at for root/romable phones? Also any thoughts on specific phones would be nice to look through.
Currently on my list is the nexus using walmarts sim cards, but am not opposed to looking at almost anything with any vendor. Unfortunately Tmobiles not in my area, because that seems like a good place for plans.
Thank you
I'm basically researching what phones will be easily rootable and will/have ROMs and is also a fully featured phone so I can use all the new tech that has come out lately. Thank you

Try something like Xperia Sola or GO but if you have a little more money buy Xperia Z ...Theese phones are good to customize as I have been trying and almost everything works...include custom kernels etc.
I have now Xperia Sola and I have set up new custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227059 currently waiting for V4 update but V3 works like a charm on it...no lags .. free to customize really good one. Maybe some HTC One will be good but I am fan of Sony
I disagree

I think the Sony Xperia Sola would be a poor choice, he is thinking about the nexus which is high end compared to the Sola, besides, the Sola is a pain to root (personal experience) while the nexus would by far be the most moddable and developer friendly device....

The Samsung Galaxy S4 has been out for a very short period of time, and it already has root methods and custom ROMs, if you go for Samsung you won't be dissappointed...just choose your ROM carefully...starting out with the basic cyanogenMod is great....
BTW the Nexus is an awesome device!
P.S: Youtube would be your friend on how various devices can be customised
This is the sort of thing I'm nervous about http://www.geek.com/android/att-will-sell-the-galaxy-s4-with-a-locked-bootloader-1553657/
My old Xperia play had a locked bootloader.
Is there a place to look for best phones for putting mods on? it seems like such a crap shoot, I might decide on the S4 and then just by going through ATT I screw myself even though initially I think its just like the other vendors models.
-----
in reality I know my only safe choice is nexus, I just wish there was more out there.

Have you considered something not so mainstream like the Oppo find 5 ??
This is one great phone...see reviews and specs...
Also it has lots of development and capabilities...
BTW if the bootloader of the Samsung S4 is locked...developers will find various ways to unlock it....i don't think you should consider this also because of how the S4 is so popular...
Do your searches and studies...and i hope you make a good decision that you will be comfortable with....
I would be very interested in somthing like the oppo 5. Thanks for the heads up.
You really can't go wrong with the nexus.
The one is also available unlocked from htc.

I know the R15 is not the most popular of phones out there in the XDA community... Hell, I only purchased mine because it looked pretty. I have a massive loathe for the ColourOS crap that sits on the phone though. Notifications are its solid downfall as they NEVER work properly.
I was wondering whether there was a ported ROM or even stock Android ROM out there that would be a viable replacement. I know P beta was released for it but its just way too buggy and the production version is out now. Any ideas?
I second that motion
Upvote. The is behaves like a ROM. What the point if you can't set it up how you want. May as well buy a Nokia 3310.

now you can get Coloros 6(https://www.coloros.com/topic/coloros6.html)
which has completely different UI from Coloros5.2/5.0, enough of too many bugs in Android P beta also , but things got changed now
Just wondering if anyone has tried flashing a custom rom on their Oppo R15? ColorOS 6 doesn't appear to be available in Australia for a while. But let's face it is anyone actually waiting for it?
Hello All,
Did anyone tried flashing any custom rom on OPPO R15 Pro. I stay in Australia and the COLOR OS 5 really sucks.
Can someone tell me how to flash custom rom ?
Thanks
Been looking everywhere and asked around to no avail i wanted to know if someone has this Rom in mind is a great Rom honestly I really liked it back in the essential ph1 but don't know if I will see it on this phone if anyone is building it let me know keeping an eye out for it.
tl;dr: are there any good and stable ROMs for 6X (BLN-L21) that are worth using over stock system? If so, could you guys recommend me any? The newer, the better, but stability>newness.
For years I've been using my good old Xperia X8, but I eventually had to repalce it with something else - decided to take Honor 6X. Now, I've been using it for quite a while, but I kinda miss the times I had fun with my Xperia, switching from one ROM to another on a regular basis. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are some good and stable ROMs for Honor 6X that you guys could recommend? Is this model hard to mod/easy to brick? (it's my daily driver, so would be a shame to totally brick it). Also, if there are some tools I need to get, let me know.
Cheers and thanks in advance ^^
Any custom roms with VOLTE support?
