Android 12 was a major update. Before A12 there were major android versions. Where did you see small changes. Maybe not visually but under the hood A13 has a lot of changes.
A13 changes: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/summary
A12 changes: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/summary
There are so many roms because building roms are pretty easy. You can do it too. See lineage or pixel experience's how to build rom manual.

Differences between WM6 OS Versions

I am confused by the many different OS version for WM6 ROMs (20273 22222 19701). I did a search and the closest post I could find didn't really explain the reasons for different OS versions.
Is the latest the best and most stable?
Is there an OS changelist I can view somewhere?
Are the OS versions set by the ROM maker and shared by them?
Are the OS versions set by Microsoft or the device manufacturer that the OS came from?
the only real difference is windows mobile 6 and 6.1
then you have difference in radios provided by different carriers at different locations.
there isn't really a change list since there are only two official types.
if you download a rom from this site it will not be an official rom unless it says it is.
roms aren't updated like windows with service packs, you have to completely "delete" your operating sytem and info and load a new one...... which is why you won't get an update unless it is basically a new operating system.

Usually not. Nor are the numbers a guarantee of newness. Sometimes earlier numbers signify newer builds.

Not that I have seen. But as Joel said, the only real big difference is 6.0 and 6.1 . Other than that, builds usually feature bug fixes and/or speed tweaks. You are best off to watch the forum for a specific device. Most ROM cooks will post which build they are using, and most new ROMs will use the most recently released OSs. That way you can know the most recently released builds for that are working for that device.
Are the OS versions set by the ROM maker and shared by them?

No. ROM cookers (I assume you mean cookers) use various builds which they get from various places. Usually they get these ROMs dumped from recently released models, sometimes they get them because they have connections in the right places; like Microsoft, HTC, etc.
Are the OS versions set by Microsoft or the device manufacturer that the OS came from?

Good question. I don't know exactly, but I would assume that an OS comes from a combination of work in both companies.
Thanks for the quick replies.
Does anyone know of any threads that talk about OS version differences?
How does a ROM cooker go about choosing an OS version?

like we said, no there isn't an os version difference.
The differences are 6 and 6.1 or from different phones.
ROM cookers choose ROMs on features they like or what they have available.
A good way to start would be to just find a good ultra lite rom and build from there

Android 6.0 Marshmallow is coming, CM13 is coming too

Have you thought that as soon this new android version is coming new AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and Omni are also coming? Write here all what you think this new ROM should have that the previous ones didn't have!
P.D.: Is there going to be Xposed installer available for this new version ?? We will see that soon

The first question that comes to my mind is that the extra features that will be available in Android M.... Then the ROMs can be discussed as they are always the icing on the cake.

Onereason Android makes it a better choice than Ios was this fact that you are onmuch more open work to walk on(easily root and stuff) but Android m accordin to news here is trying all it can to blockbring changes..i seems we are again going through OS which is going to limited our capabilities in customizin its environment...if this happened,I believe other OS like firefox or in near future, MIUI(independent of android in future),will have more chance of getting attention ...hope google won't cose the paths to root and stuff as root is really what brings out "the most feature of Linux system in android" and having an androind device as being more pleasant

I don't think Google would do that. Because it would ruin Android's Open Source. But if that happen, there would be another OS to develop for SmartPhones: Ubuntu Touch

Well brothers, we hope Marshmallow brings prosperity to Android. Or more
Will Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060) have 6.0 Marshmallow rom, im stuck over 2years with JB 4.2 its horrible
One thing that is awesome about Android 6.0 is the fact that we will be able to limit what apps can access.I'm hoping that in turn adds to better security to your device since we live now in a world that security gets harder as technology gets farther along.
wonder what new features will be in CM 13..

CM13 nightly released for Asus Padfone S/X.I am not sure about this just saw a guide on theandroidsoul.com.If it is true then CM13 will be available for other devices. soon
This thread is interesting, and could be one to follow re the progress of CM13. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/cm13-0-unofficial-watching-code-merged-t3228335
Apparently we know that Doze will be included in CM13, which is good news IMO....I'm very excited about the battery life increases it should bring.
Cool
Now that Cyanogenmod is in bed with Microsoft and will install Microsoft apps as default system apps that can't be removed...I no longer care about any new CM news or builds.

Just got it set up and... i am treble ready? No way!
There is definitely a positive change in response times and obviously much better use of hardware. Rooted no prob after a long first run and installed after 3 boots. Nice!

now that you installed treble fully, you can install GSIs from the treble forums but there is one problem with pie GSIs, some GSIs dont work because of some kind of overlays.. here's a list of GSIs that work and dont work
Avoid these GSIs:
ViperOS (Pie)
Pixel Dust (Pie)
PixelExperience (Pie)
Resurrection Remix (Pie)
HavocOS (Pie)
Liquid Remix (Pie)
MIUI (Oreo)
Oxygen OS (Oreo)
XenonHD (Oreo)
GSIs that work:
Phh-Treble (Pie/Oreo)
AOSP Extended (Pie (6.0)/Oreo)
AOSiP (Pie)
Descendant (Pie)
Bootleggers (Oreo)
Resurrection Remix (Oreo)
Lineage OS (Pie)
Ok nice. Kinda all over the place here. This is crazy. Only because i'm going to try all the ones suggested
Oh. My. God. This is AMAZING! My A8 is gone!

Ha. So I've probably tried close to 10 gsi's now and while some were decent, there so far has always been something that makes it unreasonable to stick with.
There's a lot more choices, that's for sure. I was really hoping to nail the rr 9.0 but don't have the patience to fix the partition issue.... so now I am looking at a cool glowing arrow with hopes of no vendor error message at the welcome screen. The install was easy. No idea if this glowing arrow is going to get tired and let me have a spin at it....
Can I use it without root? I mean i don't want to have the phoe rooted for some apps. Thank You.
is it normal that my Device now shown as A730F ?
also i noticed a performance decrease

So if TW is closed sources i have rights to protect my works from kanging, and quote clearly says `You are NOT allowed to use any part of this rom without my permission!

Hopefully not as the developers said that as long as they have this phone working they'll keep the development going. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Well, I hope there will be future development for this phone too. I'm using one for more than 2 years, and battery still rocks, it sure lasts more than any flagship !
as far as i can tell, mike is working on lineage os 17.
so at least one android 10 rom might be coming soon

Yea bro same, more than 2.5 years and still i get SOT of 6-7 hours.
Whenever i think of buying a new phone, i look at my p2 and i stop. Its still so smooth cuz of the ROMS and charges under 1 hour and 15 minutes.
This phone is the best purchase i ever had. So i want development to keep going on, atleast for 1 more iteration of Android. Then i'll maybe buy Redmi K20 pro next year cuz it'll also have good development in future.
@Erazor84 that's good news brother. But I'll wait for AOSP xtended Android-10 (if it ever comes)
Bcuz i used their Oreo build and now using pie, and i found them the best among all of'em.

My guess would be at least 2 more ROMs :fingers-crossed: one from @VladSor and second from @Fullbustah as they are consistent with porting/ developing the ROMs such as Havoc, Syberia, Bootleggers and POSP for P2.
But of course, we need a reliable vendor upgrade first.
Xiaomi redmi note 4 which has the same Specs has just got lineage 17.

Generic System Image (GSI) is pure untouched Android released by Google for treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.
Semi GSI (SGSI) is a customized GSI with features and name of a custom ROM and it can also be installed on treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.

The following url https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/rom-aosip-derpfest-t3981193 will give You access on this forum to the thread concerning AOSiP-10-DerpFest-Alpha-kuntao-20191009.zip which is the first alpha version of the first Android 10 custom rom dedicated to the Lenovo P2.
If You are interested in testing this Android 10 rom, just follow the installation instructions given on the first page of the thread.
If I well understood, I think that someone, maybe mikeioannina ?, should now be working on a Android 10 rom LineageOS 17. If this is the case, all we can do is to be patient.
You will note that from now on we must say Android 10 instead of Q as asked by Google. So, next year, the next version of Android will be Android 11 and not R.
Below is the lineageos github page for Kuntao (Lenovo P2a42), the branch is on 17.0, but it seems it hadn't been developed on in 4 months, but i don't know how these things go...

Hello I've tried all of the versions on my KUNTAO, at the beggining very laggy now better, there are some ROMS which you can use w/out a problem if you can live w/out some of the features like the FP GESTURES OR AA CONNECTIVITY.
HAVOC 3.0 (NOT THE TREBLE VERSION) to me is the best option till this post furthermore I don't know.
CHHERS
So, We are half a year further from the last post in this thread, any news on the stability and performance of the android 10 rom's? Im right now on Crdroid Pie ROM and except fingerprint kicking the bucket everything is working flawlessly. Any stable and well performing 10 rom's out there, or should we wait a little longer?

Custom ROMs with Android Q for s8(+) information exchange

Since there will be no official Android Q for our device, I hope there will be custom ROMs (ports) with Q. Especially because on s9 and s10 official Q was released already. The idea is to collect and exchange information about Android Q ROMs for s8 and s8+ .
m.
Im also waiting for any info about Q, I'm a S8 owner myself, would help with testing if necessary.
My OS is currently the RiCE 15.0, it works almost flawlessly, but I'm always into new technologies, I need only the Viper Audio in my OS, because I've got Sennheiser True Wireless Momentum headphones, and it improves simply a lot of things there for me.
And the smartphone itself is great, just the battery life could be a bit better.
Yep, I agree! We have a great HW but the battery life, at least at the stock ROM, isn't the best ... . I'm really curious about Q on s8 and I'm sure sooner or later there will be some.

Since there will be no official Android Q for our device, I hope there will be custom ROMs (ports) with Q. Especially because on s9 and s10 official Q was released already. The idea is to collect and exchange information about Android Q ROMs for s8 and s8+ .

you can already get android q on galaxy s8, using treble and some gsi, just search for hadestreble.
also, lineage os 17.0 (based on Android Q) is in development
Thx.! I was hoping for lineage 17 even if I'm not a real a lineage fan ... .
How about treble? Did you maybe check it out your self?

yes, I have. it has some bugs like random reboots and also there is the fact that some gsis just work very well, while other don't even boot up. I have used pixel experience gsi based on Android 10 and it was overall pretty stable, stable enough for daily use.

Great, thx.! If you decide to check it out, could you report here please. I use my phone a lot, so only a bug free, stable ROM as a daily driver is acceptable for me.

Lineage 17.1 arrived at xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...evice-development/rom-lineageos-17-1-t4041977

The creator of Hades Rom has a port for the S8, though says there are still a few big bugs
I guess we have to wait a little till the Q ROMs become a stable, bug free daily driver ... . But at least they are becoming more & more, so there will be some we can choose from
m.
There is definitely a positive movement in Q ROM development section:
