Hi.
Is there a way to find all devices that have available stable custom AOSP roms?
I'm looking for a new device, for me and probably family friends, and I'd like to know what can I choose from.
Clean Android is the most priority, ability to choose gapps package, then easy root with Magisk.
Many thanks in advance!

hello there,
i installed Clockword Mod because i wanted to know if it is just as good as the people are talking (managing different Roms) but all Roms that i can see are the 2 CyanogenMod Builds (nighties and Stable)
then Extras
meLianTQ (where nothing is inside)
and the Google Apps
is this really the whole list? Or do i need to change something? Like a sources.list?
Regards

That's the whole list AFAIK.
Developers have to ask to get their ROM included in the list.
Hi,
Can someone make clear to me as a noobie what are the differences between "cores" of the ROMs?
I see there are most favourite ones like "XWLP9" and "AOKP" - what are the differences between them? I see AOKP has more updates from kernel and maybe some other things in addons? Besides XWLP9 seems to me more stable but I only observe rom peoples comments and replys so can someone tell me which ROM core I should be focused on when choosing ROM? Some advices, experiences what you have with them - ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES maybe or something ... I see there are roms like these two from what I want to choose:

Google is your friend.
XWLP9 is the latest stock/official ROM version from Samsung for the SGS2 (GT-I9100).
So, these kind of ROMs are based on Samsung stock ROMs ... with some customizations (e.g. rooted, some removed bloatware, some custom themes/mods, etc.).
The other kind of custom ROMs have AOSP (Android open source project) or ASKP (Android open kang project).
So, they are either on pure Google Android OS or Linux. Usually there is a team of developers who share their parts/versions in binaries and as source code.
The kernel is kind of "core" of the firmware.
Every ROM contains its own kernel, as this is a basic part of the firmware ... and the phone can't work without it.
You can also flash other (custom) kernels on a ROM.
But not every kernel is compatible with every ROM.
OK thank you I read about these two a lot i needed some experienced opinion and clearing it up for me.
What I basically needed was opinions about these two versions from experienced users. If non oficial and trully open made ROM is better and in what ways or is it better to stay on oficial ones etc. This is what i wanted most from this thread ...
Hey guys,
I know there are many best ROM threads out there as well as many flavors suitable for all needs. Personally, I just don't have the time test everything until I find the perfect ROM.. So I hope you guys can help me choose a good one considering the list below..
I'm currently using CM11 and although it's a great lightweight rom I miss many basic Samsung stock functions (swipe to call, palm to mute, etc..). I also know some apps should solve this but IMO they don't..
So, I'm looking for a Samsung based rom that's:
- easily installed by pc or cwm recovery
- stable and preferably bug/freeze fix free with everything working
- lightweight and widely supported
- although not essential, preferably with nightlies updates
- either s5 or mini s5 based
- android 4.4.2 or higher
And I think that's it. Thanks in advance.
There are not many 4.4 tw roms to try. Best bet would be to read the threads and see what the user's think. See what the problems are ect ect
Hi! I have the Nexus5X and even though there are a lot of ROMs for the 5X, I don't really like any of them, so I was wondering how I would go about creating my own ROM. To start this off, I want this ROM to be a viable option for 5X users, a "legit" ROM, and I do not want to use a kitchen.
I do have previous Android building experience. Since I can do that, I want to know a couple specific things about making a ROM suitable for daily use.
First of all, how do I include the latest security updates from Google?
Secondly, how do I get OTA updates for my ROM(like AICP has an AICP OTA app)?
Thirdly, how do I know which revision to sync (r1, r2, r13) etc.
Fourth, are there any other things that I need to keep in mind when building this ROM and making it like other ROMs in the sense of stability, professionality etc (I can't really explain it, just that it's not simply someone adding random features)
Thanks
HELLO im newbie. i have one old redmi note 4x mido, with snapdragon chip, 3 gb ram an 32gb rom.
im looking for a rom clear, fast light , basic.
i have installed twrp 3.2.1.0 and now i want to root it.
who can help me?
is possibble to have a rom like stock rom but can install it from twrp?
thank you very much.
please help me...
First, update your TWRP:
Download TWRP for mido
Download TWRP Open Recovery for mido
dl.twrp.me
Then you can think of a custom rom. If you want light and basic rom, you can look on LineageOS or Pixel Experience. First one is being releasing without Google Apps, you would need to flash a package (if you want to use Google apps of course ):
The Open GApps Project
OpenGApps.org offers information and pre-built packages of The Open GApps Project. The Open GApps Project is an open-source effort to script the automatic generation of up-to-date Google Apps packages. All Android versions and platforms supported.
opengapps.org
Pixel Experience is equipped with Google apps by default. Both ROMs are close to pure Android, not like MIUI. You could find some MIUI ports from other devices, but I wouldn't really recommend them. For such an old device like mido something close to stock Android is much better

How have you managed to make 100+ posts if you're a newbie?
Personally I can't tell much about those ROMs because I use different one. But they are well-recognized in the community, so they are rather safe way to go.
As for the camera, they probably have some camera pre-built. But you can achieve much better quality with some GCam mods. Even better than with the stock cam, if you know how to set it up.
Anyway, if you'll decide you don't like custom ROMs, you can always go back to stock using Mi Flash tool. But I doubt it, since customs allows you to enjoy Android 10 now (11 is on its way for mido too, but still early at the moment)
