Custom Rom's (Android Oreo)? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, somebody owns the information:
1) When will the first build on Android Oreo and at least one of the developers is already taking the first steps in this direction?
2) What are the difficulties to expect from the camera and DRM keys, will the camera properly shoot, and will there be ports of the stock camera for custom firmware?

"Upgrade" stock 4.1.2 ROM to 4.4.2, possible?

Hi guys,
I just wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade a ROM (for the Huawei Ascend P2) from version 4.1.2 to either 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 or something similar.
As you may know no one has developed any custom ROMs for this phone and at the moment we have nothing more than a P6 ROM running on the P2 (which excludes functionality of getting signal, speaker audio, headphone audio and lacks the functionality of the actual buttons on the phone, the ones below the screen)
If this was possible could someone give me some pointers on how to do it? All I need is like a reference guide or tutorial.. I don't mind doing the work myself as I want to get into android development. I consider this my 1st project.
Thank you.

Most likely Huawei never put out the source code for it meaning unless there is a sister phone to it you can port from then not much else to do.

Can we port some features of one Rom to other Rom

Is it possible to port some particular feautres of any given Rom to another Rom(say Stock android rom) keeping all the properties of the Rom remain same.
Explanation:
Let us say we need some features of a MIUI and some other features of EMUI, Is it possible to add those features from those roms to the original Stock rom or Some other Roms of the mobile.
Also Is it possible to make the Rom of some other mobile (which has similar specs that of my mobile ) to work on my mobile..
Actually I am just a noobie & newbie to the field of porting Roms, I had these doubts stuck up in my mind from long time.
Some people extract the APKs from specific ROMs (for instance, I managed to get MIUI's Ambient Doze working on a different ROM) and install them on other ROMs.
However, that isn't always the case because some mods have been built into system APKs such as the SystemUI apk.

How to start developing a ROM for a device?

Hi all, i've read other threads about this argument but any of them satisfied me.
I am curious about the steps to do for developing a custom ROM for an unmodded device, so for example taking the android source code and make it work on a device.
In my case, I will use a Samsung Grand Neo (GT-I9060).
How do developers manage to port a ROM to a new device? How do they make device features working? Do they use camera drivers and other drivers to reach this goal?
How to upgrade the firmware to a newer version if no newer version is released by the manufacturer?
Sorry for these nooby questions
Waiting for your answers

Stock Android for a device?

Hey folks!
I was wondering, how much of an ordeal is it to make a barebones stock Android ROM for a device? For instance, I have Xiaomi Black Shark 3, and am super not in love with the JoyUI rom. Would it be something that could reasonably be commissioned, to have a stock Android ROM put together? Is that even possible?
Thanks ahead of time!

So-called Stock ROM is the Android OS what OEMs/Carriers pre-install on their devices. Each Stock ROM is tailored to device's hardware capabilities/features, means a Stock ROM always relates to a specific brand/model. The base for all Stock ROMs is AOSP ( maintained by Google ).

Yeah I had a feeling I might not have been the most accurate on my verbiage, but that is just a consequence of not being as entrenched as I used to be.
With all of that in mind though, how much of an ask is the process of 'tailoring' AOSP to a specific device?
