Moderators Note about MoKee. These ROMs in the past were known for distributing adware/malware. As they claim to be "Open Source" now, you should still be cautious about flashing MoKee ROMs. Currently this ROM is under review by Moderation Staff.
Android 4.4 Kitkat for Defy and Defy+
This is the latest Mokee ROM for our very own and never dying cell,Motorola Defy/Defy plus(Aka.jordan/jordanplus) based on the latest android OS Kitkat 4.4.
About MoKee OpenSource:
MoKee OpenSource is based on Google AOSP and CyanogenMod Android source development of a branch,
but also the country's first complete open-source Android project, users and developers around the home.
Google open source projects follow the rapid escalation, and for the user habits, improvements and enhancements.
Magic Fun Forum December 12, 2012 launch of the project, is committed to making this form of localization of open source CyanogenMod ROM.
Open source project, any interested technical experts who can participate in the development, its contribution to the force!

As I can see you've post the 14.12 version and not the last 16.12 version which contains many bugs repaired. Can you post the last one? THX.
Guys, but why are you still using Mokee, aren't they including malware in every ROM now? :/

Those Chinese apps is not exactly malware. Because is not useful for me I've uninstalled it with Titanium and recover some ROM. Also I replace the Mokee launcher and keyboard and make a very reliable and stable OS ( 4950 pts under Antutu 4.1.4).

And how is it that it's "not exactly malware"? Is it just partially malware? Almost malware? Maybe malware? Or is a "variant of Android/TrojanDownloader.Adload.B trojan" really just not that bad?
And then when people caught on to it they also modified the keyboard app too... but nah... can't be that bad, since they are actually fixing many bugs that aren't being taken cared of by serious developers that contribute directly to XDA, right? Oh wait, their change log doesn't really reflect anything different than what's already being taken care of by other developers who are actually compiling and programming for our Defy...
As a tip, you can and should delete those apps before flashing (with 7zip), that way they aren't ever run on your phone; once you flash the first thing that will start up will be the keyboard.

maybe the correct term is adware? For the rest: I found that ROM to be the most stable, battery efficient and with all the settings I need. 'till now the rest of 4.3 custom ROMs do not comply with the above needs and the 4.4.x is not enough mature. The only problem with Mokee 4.3 is that SistemUI slowly growing which suffocate the RAM and need periodical reboot -but that appear to be common to 4.3.x . Those grow seems to be closely related to apps installation and update.

Hardly the point. First of all, the fact that they have to hide it in an app most people will need to start up the ROM is shady at best. Second of all, regardless of how AV companies label the malicious software they find, a trojan downloader is essentially a backdoor for the app developer to open it and to deliver a payload that can behave differently than just "adware", without the user's consent or knowledge. That fact alone should make people think twice before installing/using this ROM, especially once people are aware that the developer's intentions are not necessarily intentions that promote the improvement and development of Android.
People can choose what they want, just my two cents on why we are tolerating malware, adware, trojans, or whatever you want to call it. There are a lot of people who also frequent these forums who won't know how to delete the malicious apps before flashing, regardless of whether they should be able to or not.
It's different when you have to mod things to your liking or to improve functionality, but hidden and persistent malware/adware placed by the developers themselves...?
We shouldn't have to tolerate that...

Completely agree with you. Personally I think this ROM should be banned from XDA, where piracy and even promoting your paid themes isn't allowed. For me it is unimaginable that a trojanned ROM can be posted. discussions about how easy it is to remove don't matter, like you said. Hence I have reported to the mods.
@ others: Yes people can choose what they want, like antiga said, but on XDA the choice of installing trojans shouldn't even exist. There are shadier websites one can visit to get their trojan fixes.
Thread currently closed
Ok, 2 things.
1) Thread moved to General, as it's just links to the MoKee site, as it appears the OP is not an official maintainer, and just posted links. As such it does not qualify as development.
2) Thread is currently closed pending investigation of current MoKee practices.
In the past MoKee had been known to included adware in their apps. Did they include Malware? Depends who you talk to. However, MoKee was discouraged at XDA, along with MIUI ROMs which also operate under a similar principle.
However, MoKee claims to be "Open Source" and their github seems to reflect that.
It is advisable however, to remove any suspicious apk's just to be safe until a disposition is made. And considering it's a Chinese ROM with a past reputation, might want to change keyboard apk's as well
Thread closed for the time being.

Hey, new to the forums, recently purchased a GSM Hero.
I have done some development for free software (think freedom, not price) projects, and have become accustomed to git repositories and structured development.
Upon entering the world of custom Android ROMs (at least Hero ROMs) I have been sorely disappointed with the development practices going on, releases on file sharing sites and the like.
On top of this, none of the ROMs available suit my needs.
This is all fine, as I'm not developing those ROMs.
I have decided that I need to start working on my own custom ROM, however guides and documentation regarding this process are in short supply.
It would be much appreciated if someone could link me to some guides to starting my own custom ROM.
I intend it to be a light vanilla ROM, with none of the bloat that seems to perpetuate other ROMs, I'm aware other such ROMs do exist, however none of them support all features, and even those that claim to do so, often require me to FC

Yeah I tried that one, it claims to have full functionality, however I frequently had to FC various applications.
I'm downloading 3.0.1 as we speak, however I'd still like some resources on making my own ROM.
I'm interested on this documentation too....thanks

Before this gets too off-topic, I too would like to concur with what OP is saying. I'd love some info on where to begin with custom ROMs, and I think it would be great if we could create a community repo for code for a custom ROM.
This leads me to another question: all these custom ROMs that we see available for download -- are they free/open source? Like, do they have source code available? I certainly don't think they do, but if they don't, then aren't they violating the terms of the GPL by not providing source code?

There's Paul's (modaco) online kitchen, but if you want to compile by yourself, there's a plethora of gits on github (cyanogen, lokx, kiall to mention just a few).
Good question. Yeah it would be nice if there was a 'Cooking Class' thread on this forum like in some of the other forums. There is a decent tutorial however at HTCpedia.com under the HTC Hero ROM Development section, it's in the stickies there. However, I still have questions and that forum is not visited as much as xda.

As a start, I would read that thread I just linked above. Once you can dump the contents inside the system.img and then combine it with the boot.img to build an update.zip, then you are already halfway there - that's actually fairly easy. But knowing how to add custom kernels to the update.zip, making the custom ROM rooted, etc. are all stuff that I'm still working on. There's supposed to be a lot of info in the Dream/Magic forums, so I'll keep reading.
Android is still fairly new and very few people know how to use Linux, thus there's less support and less interest in wanting to cook for one's own Android device.
BTW, that thread I linked above is also found here.. Doh!

Thanks for the link, a good read.
Anyone know what the process is for using a custom kernel? There are a few things I'l like to enable that aren't in the HTC kernel (like FUSE).

If I eventually manage to find out I will post it here. My most important concern is making a rooted ROM from those shipped ROMs, as some people have been doing here.
I just sent them this
Code:
Hello,
kernel source for 1.29 and 2.05 for HTC One X is still not available.
These delays are hindering community efforts to fix your inept software and are in breach of GPL. Please provide me the link to the source to to those 2 kernels and make sure that you release the source at the same time as the binary form.
I am ready to escalate this via gpl-violations.org unless your response satisfies me.

Jan Schermer
If anybody wants to chime in, you're welcome.
Samsung is just better at this.. look at the SIII it was released after the OneX but it has many many more custom truly cocked roms!
And i'm sick of such useless posts. They will release it when they will release it. Get a life.
Why would they publish the source for a test RUU? 1.29 OK but not 2.05 yet

you forgot one main thing
2.05 is unreleased and leaked
And now no more leaked test releases lol.
Well done!!! Demand source codes for versions that aren't even released yet.
Lmao what is going on here
Sent from eXoDiZeD rom
They have to provide source code for every binary to those who got the binary. So I assume those 2.05 testers have the source for their kernels, don't they? if they did, it would leak, and we would profit from it (it's our right because so does HTC!).
Also, what devs here do is illegal - I could demand the source code from them but they don't have it - is it okay to force them into illegality just because HTC are being ignorant?
And those posts are not meaningless, they are violating GPL and withholding source code for no real reason. All source-built kernels are still based on 1.28, but they fixed a lot of stuff on 1.29, and for me (a linux professional) those hacks show in lots of places.
What are you doing here if you really want HTC-built Sense then? Do you want to run slapped-together binary ROMs because there is no source for the latest update? This is called Android Development for a reason.

That might be true. But AFAIK the 2.05 RUU was provided to some public testers as well.
I just opted to demand 2.05 as well in case it takes them a month to respond and it will be released by then, it did no harm in any case.
Also, we wouldn't have to have this debate if the development was actually transparent (that means - HTC working with community, not just pushing uncompilable sources for their old kernels). But I guess most managers can't grasp that concept without the proper buzzwords.
Sorry, I'm pissed at many more things than just HTC right now, but I directed my anger here

You can demand open source codes not closed source and to get open source android, simply get AOSP sources. HTC will publish their sources when they want and after they finish.

You know that kernel is GPL and what that means, right? Or are you just trolling? HTC is obliged to provide source code - it's not a goodwill gesture, and they consistently fail to do that.
Or are you talking just about 2.05? In that case, the first tester outside HTC should get the source code and would be free to release it to us - closed beta or not.
Some parts of kernel may be closed (for example modules). They can post kernel without them. Its like AOSP android, you can download it, and compile and use, but you will not get Android Apps (gmail,youtube etc) included. cause they are CLOSED.

Frankly ,they can have x3 more custom rom`s but we have one who is better then all SIII ROM`s together , we are so lucky and really need to be proud with our original developers like Venom Team , so S3 performance without ROM like our ViperX is in vain.

What is Guardian Rom?
Guardian ROM is a custom android ROM multiple devices. The ROM is completely Open Source and based off of the CM10.1. While this build is stable because it's based on CM10.1 it is a preview so please expect some bugs, & missing features (i.e updater).
What Features does Guardian Rom have?
Kernel is hardened with SecDroid Tweaks.
ROM is patched with and includes OpenPdoird for
permissions management.
Guardian Project apps are pre-installed – These include Orbot (Tor), Gibberbot (Secure IM),
and more.
CSSimple and OStel (https://guardianproject.info/wiki/Ostel) are included as replacements to the
built calling apps. providing encrypted communications.
If encryption is enabled and password is entered wrong 10 times the phone wipes user data.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Coming Soon:
Including support for Deniable Encryption (similar to Truecrypt hidden volumes).
Including GRSecurity for exploit mitigation and more secure phone.
Including SQLCipher to ensure all data is encrypted whenever possible
Including a customer “app store” for our repos.
Different lockscreen pin and Pre-Boot authentication password.
Auto-Prompt for encryption setup on first boot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to use:
Simply flash the flashable zip through your favorite custom recovery. (TWRP is recommended as it supports encrypted devices). Once flashed you should enable Full Disk Encryption by doing the following (may very depending on device):
Code:
Settings --> Security ---> Password [enter a strong 8-16 char password]
Than
Code:
Settings --> Security ---> Encryption --> Enable Encryption
Downloads:Downloads are over here.
Please verify the downloaded file with the attached GPG signature to ensure is is a legit copy.
GAPPS
Google Apps are NOT included and before you flash them you may want to read this article.
UPDATES:
Since this is a preview I have not had a chance to remove or modify the CM Updater. Please do NOT use it as you will be flashing a stock CM10.1 build and not Guardian Rom. This will be fixed shortly.
always been curious about this rom, so I may give this a whirl! thanks for the hard work!
Any reviews?

Will this be available for an unbranded international S2, GT-I9100 ?
I am currently trying out CM10.1 and installed most of the included apps manually, but there is a problem with encryption and updating the nightlies and CWM, so I'd like to try out Guardian Rom.

Not for now. Nexus device get primary support as they have an AOSP Source tree.
A very worthwhile effort. I wish I would own one of the supported devices to see how it goes.
I hope that more developers will start to put liberty and privacy into Android.

More is coming soon. Guardian Rom is going to be on more device soon, We have a working once-click installer for all supported devices at this point, easy setup for Full Disk Encryption and Deniable Encryption, Policy Management and more. We are about to launch for a round of funding so stay tuned. Things are going to get exciting.

Looked into this project earlier. You can't find a dl link for jflte because it's only currently got beta release for the nexus line. The guy has a page on Kickstarter trying to raise 35 thousand dollars to support development. He promises to make a stable build and support more devices only if his 35k support fund is together by april 30th. Don't think it's gonna happen bc he's only at 1500.

Hi.
Like me, people that own this mobile phone need to wait for huge efforts from people like Arco to develop a ROM with the last android version and the whole bug fixes and improvements of the OS.
After all that, we need to trust what developers could have done inside that same ROM, the same we get in this 'black market' and pray they didn't do any kind of malicious developments, this, if the source code/blobs didn't come with them already. Forgetting about the security side, if we look at the new features and upgrades of the same OS, again, we will need to wait for people like Arco to get time to develop all we want. So, my question is:
What need to be done for people that use this mobile phone to have the Replicant Android version?

Seriously, do you expect this to be different with a Repilcant ROM?
There will be still a Dev behind this who will compile the ROM, add bugfixes and so on.
So if you are afraid of malware being added by a Dev, you can simply download the sources and compile your own ROM. No matter this is CM or Repilcant.
CM is open source and you can watch the entire code to what a Dev has done to it. There is no conspirancy and there is no need to become paranoic.
Therefore I do not see a single reason why a Replicant ROM should be better compared to Arcos CM releases.
I can't explain me better than the references I post in the first post. But for sure, if every project follow the philosophy that Replicant uses, development could improve so much about the SECURITY and so much about the TIME for the news features/improvements, is ridiculous what people need to wait to get an upgraded software (no question about any developer here ofc). And I know life is not perfect, but at some point things need to be done in a credible and systematic way, and this android variant with the name Replicant seems fine to me.

Hi And Welcome To a Non-Tested Version of Android 6.0.0 on the xoom (Maybe 5.1.1 Not Sure) But back to the topic
This is mostly 5.1.1 but maybe with new of fixed features (I've never tested it as I said)
Here is how to install (I found this on another area)
1. ROOT YOUR DEVICE
2. Install BigPart TWRP
3. Wipe your system and flash the zip file
Here is the zip file

Can you provide more information please?
Just "copy n paste" from "other area" is not very trustworthy... i'm sorry to say.
I would love to have 6.0 on Xoom, but I want it to be wit ha Git Repo or anything and not only an ominous zip file from somewhere...
so please, more information is the key!

Based on this post, I think that, best-case scenario, he just kanged Schischu's 5.1.1 build and maybe themed it to look like 6.0. But I'm betting we never see a zip file.
As with everyone else I am curious to this. [6.0.0/5.1.1(Not Sure)] <--- this seems a little strange. It can only be one Android version. If it's 5.1.1 with some cherry picks and tweaks, that's great but just say.
Also some source would be good so we can establish what it actually is. Upload to androidfilehost or something similar if you can't attach.
P.S OmniRom wanted me to make a rom so perfectly fine

Speaking of ROM's, when can we expect yours? If the item you posted in #11 is still the zip attachment problem, have you thought about trying the suggestion from Matt4321?

The Download is now available in the downloads tab
here is info
Modified Launcher3
Modified SoundRecorder
Modified PackageInstaller
Android 5.1.1 with tweaks
gapps and super su are not included so please download them
If the OP did not do some coding on our outdated kernel and just synced omnirom sources, or even worse, just replaced some apk's in the flashable zip, all bugs are still there. If you did alter the kernel code you have to apply to GPL and post kernel sources.
I don't mean any disrespect but I kinda have the feeling that you don't have alot of experience with coding. (Please correct me if I'm wrong though) Posting untested software can give inexperienced users alot of problems and could be potential dangerous with our altered partion layout.
This wont have any benefit over Schisu's rom for now so I really have to advise you to wait for updated kernel sources before posting.

Like I said, I don't mean any disrespect my friend. The Xoom needs talented developers but not knowing if your rom is android 6 or 5 raises questions
You should contact the old member of team EOS or Schischu.
Good luck.
