NEW Project!

OK folks, we have a new project:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!topic/android-building/_F67iLDcVzQ
PA and AOKP test builds from the new full-time build box also in verification.
If they're good they'll be posted tonight.

To put it in simple terms, this means that there's a greater chance of stable AOKP and PA ROMs for our device.

If this is what I think it is, a port of the recently released Google vanilla s4, then this should be interesting. Granted, there are proprietary drivers and software for touchwiz devices, it might not be as exciting or feature laden as tw, but it is certainly something different. No, I was too lazy to read the link for clarification.

Actually, they're two separate things.
I just got the new build box up and running so first order of business was making sure PA and AOKP build properly.
Those builds got posted this morning.
Next I'll be working on the Google Edition stuff to see if we can't make a pure AOSP ROM.
Also curious at the kernel to see how it stacks up versus what CM is already using.

Like anything else I work on, too many factors and especially this one needs to be looked at carefully.
For example, the file released by JBQ looks awfully similar to what Samsung OSRC normally releases.
But when I asked before - well, can we build with that? - the answer was no.
Reason being we need things like the proprietary binaries that are up to Samsung to release.
I'm going to start by what JBQ said to do:
1) Make a clean AOSP repo
2) Drop their changes on top of that repo.
3) Add kernel - which I still want to compare to the source used in CM.
Anything else I may use what was pulled for CM (such as vendor blobs) to fill in the gaps.
We'll see if this plan of attack works or not.

I ended up trying it yesterday and data indeed does not work. I think some people are getting confused because 1x data still works but 3g does not work even after using the APN Backup and Restore app and KT AOSP Kernel.

If I missed any big roms, please feel free to chime in!

I voted on Cyanogen. It has tweaks, but not as many as say PA or AOKP so in theory it shuold be less code to merge.

Right, but they take obnoxiously long to release anything since they always want it to be as bug free as possible. I'd say they will be 3rd or 4th. AOKP or Paranoid will do it first. My money is on AOKP or Slimbean.

I'd rather wait for a bug free build then have have issues just so I can see 4.3 in the about phone section.

I agree...I'd rather wait a week or 2 for a more complete ROM. Like I've mentioned in another post 4.3 is solid so far, just missing some tweaks here and there. I think PA will be the first major release.

I think it will be Cyanogen or AOKP to do it correct and smooth first. However I am currently using PA and it's pretty dope... So hopefully them
..
However more than likely it will be one of these built from everyone else's work Roms to put out a 4.3 release that's half baked .. Kills me how much attention people give others for "building" a ROM buy butchering real devs work..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I hope pa, but it depends more on other apps working with 4.3. Like touchcontrol etc. I was supposed to keep this phone close to stock when I got it some weeks ago, but pie and dpi settings convinced me.

PA is merging with 4.3 as we speak. Probably see a build today or tomorrow

personaly i like the look of miui and android 4.4 more than any other rom. i think kit kat is the way to go though since i actually want an freaking app drawer haha.
miui had the elegance and style till android 4.4 came out. now its simply who wants miui functionality vs aosp 4.4.

I prefer the look of miui also, stock android lacks synergy imo, all of the apps just seem all over the place with nothing in common design wise asides from the various shades of blue lol. The consistent design is what I like about miui and even sense 5 to some extent.

exactly. um, personaly, i think that android 4.4 is making progress with making a common style of app icons, but its not androids goal to make things look any better. its more of a functional os. like i say "iphones are toys for kids who care about the bling" and "androids are simply pieces of hardware, the rest is up to you"

Like the title says. Who would like to see a nexus 6 color OS port? I will begin porting the ROM to the nexus 6 if I get enough people that would be interested in doing it. I'd like to start a new project but only want to start one if it would get some use thanks. Just sent a thanks or a comment if you would like to see this happen.

Word. Reason I asked is cause I just want to make sure that this would be a hit because me personally I love color OS but being my first ROM I'd like to make sure I have a decent community on it or maybe try something different like an aosp based ROM. I've made ROMs before but have never released them only used them on my own personal device or my wife's.

That's not the nexus way bro. Release the ROM, put a disclaimer that this is your personal ROM to share and people will use it.
This being the new age xda, you'll have a ton of idiots that mess up and blame you, expect too much out of you, download your ROM without so much a thanks or review, complain when they don't follow instructions. I think that's about it. but that aside I would love to try out your ROMs.

I'm by far not new on here just a new profile sense the other one got all bloated and then I had been a way for a while and no longer use the other email. As for being the nexus way I believe it would go towards any phone or ROM. I just wanted to make this to see who shared my interest in a specific ROM. But ya man I'm gonna leave this here for a few days and make sure this is the way I am gonna go and see who all is down thanks.

Anyone with ROM making experience want to team up with me and help?

I just Google searched this, coming from opo to nexus 6 4ish months ago it would be perfect. With color os everything is proportioned to the bottom of the screen not like miui which looks the same but functions way off. Bought all my nexus's for aosp only other thing I'll settle for is color os. Was a cyanogenmod fanboy but they've obviously left things broken on the n6 just to point a finger at Google. Very disgusted with cm 12.1 for n6 out of the 30+ devices I've owned n6 bugs are left intentionally. Gonna try miui 6. But if you get this project going with momentum I'll donate generously. Thank you, color os is a ***** to code so good luck. Any work would be appreciated

Would it not make more sense trying to recreate the OS style in AOSP rather than port a closed-source ROM that can't be easily modified?

1. I guess you're not familiar with porting. It is a lot of work. No one could ever say how much work to get it 100% functional. It's just not possible to put a time on it.
2. It is against XDA rules to ask for ETA's

Best alternative ROM?

Hello everyone. So I'm big on Chinese branded Roms and anything that isn't stock or cm based. Aside of FlymeOs has anyone encountered any roms for our device that are not posted here.

More precisely, the most patient developers are here. The rest have left, because they were too tired to answer dozens of questions daily about battery life, and about ETA-s of bugs without logcats.

Although not necessarily alternative because it's located here on XDA, AICP is on G+. In my opinion it is the best, the lead dev is a really nice guy who is willing to put whatever ideas you have to improve the feature list into action. And the feature list is bigger than any other ROM
