Keep the trouble shooting questions for each specific ROM or Kernel to THEIR threads. So that way Devs can be made aware of any errors to be able to work on, if need be, and for when people are searching for solutions to their problems the answers won't be scattered around. Consolidation makes everything easier!
What's your build? What are you loving about it? Any MOD recommendations?

Sound Systems™ audio MOD
I'm a first time rooter (introduced to it by my fiance) and aspiring developer. I am going back to school to get that ball rolling. I'm socially awkward whilst being a social butterfly (once I'm out of my shell). The A.R.I.S.E team and TeamVenom have helped me to come out of that shell here on XDA so I'm ready to get socializing and talk all things root! However, I don't want to blow up their threads with unrelated posts...and so I've created this thread - so let's have at it and share ideas, opinions, and have fun! Remember to keep issue/ questions related to each ROM, Kernel, MOD etc. posted ON THEIR threads! So please include a link to their XDA thread when sharing what you've got.
Be kind and respectful. And have fun!

Mine are
LeeDrOiD10 ROM
either with the build-in
~clumsy~ Kernel
or
ElementalX Kernel
No sound mods as the audio boost of LeeDrOiD is workin' just fine with the build in DACs
Used Viper for a long time and it is a great ROM. In fact I went to LeeDrOiD10 cause the tweaks on Viper10 are just so many, and most of them I've never used at all. On LeeDrOiD there are just a few tweaks, where all those I need and use are present.

Only Cool Kids Reply to Their Empty Threads
EDIT: Lol got a post while taking 10 years to write this one...so it doesn't appear as though I was my own first response...but if I wrote like a normal person, I would have been.
TL;DR - Zip below will get rid of red message during boot, REQUIRES S/OFF, if you choose to flash this I'm NOT responsible for bricked phones, this zip file works for US Unlocked HTC 10 phones - but I'll rewrite the files inside to match your CID if you need me to, not originally my work and I don't know who's it is...sorry!
-Rename the zip file 2PS6IMG.zip & place it in the external SD card
-Boot down to download mode and if it's all groovy there will be a message at the bottom outlining that it found the "2PS6IMG" zip file and will tell you to press VolUp to proceed with the flash or VolDwn to continue to the normal download mode screen options
NOTE: if your screen doesn't display that initial message at the bottom and just goes to the normal download mode options then you've named the zip file wrong. Make sure that you didn't end up with 2PS6IMG.zip.zip during the renaming process - it HAS to read 2PS6IMG.zip or download mode will not see it as it is scanning for that name exclusively!
- If you got the message go ahead and hit volume up and, when prompted at the end, hit the power button. If you're phone boots down immediately after hitting the volume up button DON'T FREAK and leave it be. It'll kick back up and finish it's thing.
- Reboot and enjoy! (First boot up may take longer than you're comfortable with, that's normal chill for a moment and it'll all work out)
(First to reply to my own thread, crazy stuff happening here...watch out! )
Never understood why the TL;DR is put at the bottom. I know I write novels...I love words but I feel the TL;DR is more thoughtful to place at the top...so you don't have to wade through the overwhelmingly copious amounts of my words to find out there was a TL;DR option. Always thinking of you :angel: however, surely there exists an individual who not only continues and reads my posts in their entirety, but is as entertained reading it as I am writing it!
.............
Anyway, since this is meant to be a thread in which we share fun rooting tweaks and whatnot, I thought I'd go ahead and add this zip file. If you aren't a fan of the red message during the boot up that appears after you've successfully rooted - I've got your solution! I do have to apologize... I'm not sure who the original creator is. My fiance sent the file to me through Bluetooth and I rewrote a couple lines in the file so it would work with my CID. I tried to find the correct individual or thread to link in order to give them the proper credit, but there were a few posts for it so I'm unsure who it is. Just know I'm not trying to claim this for my own... just sharing the love :victory:
MAKE SURE YOU ARE S/OFF BEFORE DOING THIS! YOU'RE FLASHING THIS ON YOUR OWN ACCORD, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SOFTWARE/ HARDWARE FAILINGS
This is for the US Unlocked phones. So if you're not US Unlocked, but you want up in this sexy zip action, let me know and I can rewrite the file for you. The CID just needs to be rewritten to match the one on your phone. As a precaution I also rewrote the "mainver" line. It had the original 1.21.531.1 (T-Mobile's current software number) to the updated 1.80.617.1 (the current software number for US Unlocked). I wanted it all lined up perfectly, just in case, however IDK if you need to rewrite the "mainver" live in that text file my phone is fully functional after the rewrite and flash so I'm confident that I took the right steps. I posted what I've got going on for my custom ROM/ Kernel in the OP, if that's important for you to know. I've got the instructions above in TL;DR - no need to repeat. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you for the reply! I haven't checked LeeDrOiD10 out personally, but I saw it on my fiances phone when he got uber frustrated at a camera defect post viper update. The V10 ROM update caused our kernel to be temporarily incompatible...so he temporarily ditched V10 and tried LeeDrOiD10.
He was saying the same things as you in regards to fewer customisation's. And hebmade mention of it being a little more user friendly. But, ultimately, he returned to V10
EDIT:@5m4r7ph0n36uru what exactly does the LeeDrOiD10 ROM offer in terms of the sound boost? An equalizer? Or a little more than that. I didn't check that feature out. I didn't know it was one. My other half may have known though. We love the crazy amounts of tweaking you can do with Viper4Android in the A.R.I.S.E. MOD and all their tweak.prop files/ profiles that we can load up!
Being a spectator of LeeDrOiD10 was sufficient enough for me...only because I know myself, and I LOVE having as many options and open doors, in regards to messing around with my phone, as possible. Tis more dangerous waters to tread that way...but that's all the fun! And I'm confident enough in myself to be able to recover from most things. After all XDA has strong support to offer!
Yeah I know and it always has been fun changing nearly every detail in a ROMs behavior as it is possible on Viper10. But in fact I guess I'm maturing from this phase in my live where modding was the one and only, as we'd say in germany.
In fact I'm getting older and less fascinated by all those features. Maybe it'll come a time when I'll again become fascinated by modding and tuning every tiny bit of a ROM, but at the moment I really just need some basics.

Credits:
There isn't enough room here to thank everyone individually, but here is a list
of some of those who have directly affected the development of this project:
* oldmacnut – is a master craftsman and all-around stand-up guy. Always on the ball with testing , throwing out fresh ideas, file hosting and helping new friends out of tough spots, I do believe that there is nothing that this man can’t do. * ssserpentine – The GSM boss. Always active and lively in the forums, (even if he is a bit off-topic,) Sserp adds fun and a touch of insanity to balance everything out. I do believe he will stay attached to this project in the future, (in one form or another,) so get used to this fleshy smell-bag as he marches through this project like giant radioactive rubber pants. * alexgogan – I owe this man a debt of gratitude, (though I cannot disclose what for just yet,) but you will likely see his name attached to the credits in all future releases of this project. * Mattman83 - for never failing to help out other users. * jjhiza – As a rom dev, this is the exact sort of guy you want lurking about in your thread. He shares ideas, contributes, and generally elevates the level of conversation (when he’s not in a flame war, lol). Always a pleasure. * corodius - for helping folks keep thier HC tabs running smoothly. * Sҡȳᴪʌɩҡͼṟ - wrote a spectacular guide for installing the GSM build, and deserves thanks for a job well done. * betolley – He is working on a similar project at another site and many of the ideas we exchanged in PMs helped me to think my way through a lot of technical issues. * chriskader – did some very nice video reviews of both the a2 and a2.5 releases on YouTube, making him the unofficial project journalist. Thanks a lot! * snprkllr76 – put his GSM tab in harm’s way for the greater good. Without it, the GSM release might have never happened. Big thanks to you! (And let me know if you need this tab back, I’ve had it forever!) * fattiemcdoogles – When my CDMA tab was crushed to death under the mighty weight of Odin, this guy stepped in and saved the day by helping me to obtain a replacement. Much appreciated! * Herbiced – provided the initial file hosting for this project, saving us all from the dreaded queues at the “free” file-hosting sites. Gracias! * And there are many others, these are just a few I wanted to shout out to.
A list of a few of those that indirectly contributed to this project through their
contributions to the general independent Android development community:
* Boushh –whose work on the schi800 kernel was used as the basis for my CDMA kernels. * deeper-blue –his work on the Nook color demonstrated the possibility of porting HC and inspired this project (and many others, no doubt.) * alterbridge86 – whose work on the p1000 kernel was used as the basis for my GSM kernels. * supercurio – for providing easy access to his assortment of Voodoo goodies. * Technomancer - whose work on the p1000 kernel was used in my early GSM builds.
And, of course, a huge thanks to XDA for allowing me to host this project here,
and to the XDA mods who help keep the place running smoothly.
Lastly, I want to thank every individual who sent a kind word in a PM or in the thread...
Reading your words of encouragement at 4 am when I was out of ideas, exhausted and ready to give up was sometimes the only thing that kept me going.
Thanks for all of your support.
(If you feel that there is someone who belongs on this list but isn’t please let me know.)
The Future:
I am going underground for a while. I tend to work best uninterrupted behind closed doors.
The next release will be full of surprises and many new features. It is my hope that this project
will no longer need the tag "Alpha" when I am ready to release it.
Time will tell.
Thank you for being patient while I work.

What process did you use exactly to get yours to boot? I'm not at all unfamiliar with the recovery menu/ workings, and I've been messing with roms, themes, and kernals ever since i had a hero when it first came out. But i just cant for the life of me get this thing to boot. I have same setup as you, and tried wiping all and re-flashing a couple of times, tried a fresh download. Nothing works. Furthest I got was about a 10 minute hang on the samsung splash screen. Then I just manually rebooted. Tried a dalvik wipe then boot again and then I was boot-looping lol. I've never failed at getting something to work in the past and I certainly won't let this glorious day of days be my first! Haha.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

This isn't another one of those 'can somebody port Sense' threads.
Please note that this thread is for developer-oriented discussion. If you don't have anything to say to help development, please refrain from posting here.
Also note that ideas are welcome. Just check if the idea you're about to post has already been posted by somebody else.
Right now, it's just multiple people working on this. No team, just individuals.
As of the last edit of this post, there has been little to no progress:
I'm constantly working on builds. The current, and the only goal I'll be striving towards as of now is using a T-Mo HTC One X ROM in combination with RaymanFX's CM10.1 RC2 build.
XDA RC @abcdjdj has reported that he has fixed a lot of errors in his build, and is now stuck at the bootanimation. If you can help him in any way, here is what's wrong with his build. He's using FXP's CM9 as a base and a 4.0 HTC One X with Sense 4 ROM as a port.
The OP will constantly be updated with any progress anyone makes.
We're currently using this XDA thread to help us port the ROM.
--------------------------------
Here's everything I have to share on my build:
PORT: HTC One X, T-Mobile Edition| Android 4.2.2
BASE: Sony Xperia S, nozomi | Android 4.2.2
------------------------
ITesters needed. If you can work through adb commands and can provide me with logcats, please leave a post about it in the thread.
And finally, a note to anyone that may be cursing me for working so very slow (because I admit, this is very slow):
Please understand that all this isn't easy for me. I have painfully slow internet, making each download at least one hour, and thus a pain. My time on this project is limited every day, so progress is slow.
Reserved.

Okay, so this is the work that has already been done and some of the mysteries that puzzle me right now:
I've edited the CM9 kernel's ramdisk, like stated in the tutorial I'm using (see post 1). As of now, the kernel itself is broken and even if the ROM was complete, not even the booting would work. (Well, booting works as far as showing the boot logo (the green FXP one) goes. But the LED notification light for entering recovery doesn't light. Bootloop over and over...)
Many of the lib files intended to be copied from one lib folder to the other are missing on our Nozomis... My question is, what are the consequences...?
My main issue here is that the zip won't flash. The recovery (no matter which I choose) just returns an 'ERROR' and refuses to flash the file...
Another question would be how to repack an .elf kernel into a boot.img. Because now, I'm trying with letting the CM9 kernel in the zip (since it is an .img) and then flash the modified .elf kernel that I repacked with Flashtool. Inefficient, but at least there's a way.
So currently, the priority list would be:
1.Get zip to flash
2.Fix kernel
...Not necessarily in that order. We could fix the kernel first, but there isn't much gain to it if the ROM zip can't even be flashed to test if it truly works...

Bro, it may be possible to get Sense on our devices. Even I have been working on getting Sense booted on our device. My status:-
PORTED FROM - HTC ONE X
BASE - FXP 215 CM9
STATUS - Gets past kernel and even loads bootanimation. Fixed many errors in the logcat. Gets stuck at bootanimation and even displays a message saying that System is not responding, would you like to close it.
I couldn't manage to fix any more errors in the logcat so I gave up but you have rekindled my spirit to get Sense booting on out device. I will upload my rom soon along with the logcat.
Cheers,
abcdjdj
Wow, you actually got the thing to boot?
The only question is how did you manage that based off of a tegra CPU? Would be very interested in seeing that...
On a not-so-very related note, your port was of ICS and Sense 4 , correct?
Am I the only one around here that favors old software?

Not fully booting but I think close to booting. I followed the guide mentioned by you in the OP and one by one eliminated all errors that I could eliminate. I had been working on Sense for around a month during my school holidays but now I am not getting any free time. And yes it is Sense 4 (Android 4.0.4).

But isn't the Tegra3 completely different than our FUJI board?
Especially the graphics, those must be out of control on your ROM...
If I were you, I'd at least take the AT&T version of the HOX.
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask: is it the same if I try and port from a MSM8260 board (the same as the Xperia) and the later S4 Qualcomm versions (used in the Xperia T, AT&T One X etc.)? Because porting from a CDMA phone (HTC Rezound) seems to make the work harder...
Thankfully, my summer holidays have just begun, so I have plenty of free time (that's also the reason I started my project).
P.S.
Yeah, maybe that's exactly what I should do. Ditch the CDMA phone and start with the Snapdragon S4 One X!
I would prefer Sense 3.x, but oh well, at least Sense4 is also Sense

Well, I thought I'd make this thread so that devs could help each other to actually work together and create a working Sense ROM. So naturally, all help is welcome from anyone.
Anyways, I'm on my way to finishing yet another try, this time with the AT&T One X. Fingers crossed that it at least makes it to the bootanimation.
EDIT: I see that the easiest way to get Gapps is with including the default /data folder from the original HTC ROM (with vending, youtube etc.). But I have to add that to the updater-script. So, I want to ask, is /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 the data partition on the Nozomi?
What's happening?

Hi,
I am porting [or trying to port] Sense 4 from HTC One X to Xperia S. I used FXP 214 CM9 as a base. I followed this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245786
Then I fixed as many errors as I could by checking the logcat and got it till the Bootanimation. But now I need help to get it to boot. So, I have attached the logcat from my latest build.
Thanks for your help,

Maybe copying a few more files could help. Maybe act like your xperia is a HTC device? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1222746
Could be worth a try and play with this copying a bit...
Seems to be failing at dalvik; very strange, it doesn't show any major errors on first glance however I'll take a longer look at when I can, however I can link you to this thread that may help you in the meantime Porting
What about this one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276871
Nice and automated, but the question is, will it work?
I'm trying it with the HOX, just need to wait for it to copy to the phone...
All this seems like a big race -- who will get it working first? Hyped!
Kinda makes me wish I still had my xperia S I could have given this a real good go at; but instead I have a galaxy s4, so it's going to be mostly logcats and such I can help with, I don't like blind building things; made that mistake before.
A blind build is better than no build. Unless it makes bricks...
Thanks a lot for helping out.
Though I'll never understand how a pro HTC dev can go to Sony and then Samsung. ;P
I just hope THIS time my kernel will boot... Cause if it doesn't ... [censored]...
EDIT: Okay, [censored] is happening... Why can't I make this zip flash? I've done it a million times, but all I get is ERROR... ;-;
unfotunatly, i'm not a dev. but i really like the idea. specially if considering porting htc one sense version to our nozomi. i think it would fit like a glove
I have a tmo note 10.1 2014. Are any of these lte roms compatible at all??
Why yes they are I'm running xKat 5.0, SE permissive stock kernel, and TWRP (and have been since the night I got that tablet a week or so ago). SO glad that T-Mobile is carrying this hardware, AND that they're generally cool with rooting / modding etc. I even told the guy at the Tmo store my "policy" that I WILL NOT buy (well, much more trade in this case :good: ) any device that has arbitrary restrictions preventing me from gaining root (i.e. the ability to administer my own device.) He was ridiculously cool... even told me he was pretty sure it was cool if I flashed custom firmware on my new completely gratis "cellspot" router if I restored it to stock before I returned it (or likely will end up buying). SO glad Tmo is making all of these pro-consumer moves... and also that it seems to be working out for them so well (not to mention, their customers)!
I've read some of your posts around here. You mention removing a few files before flashing. Did you? If so, can share with me what/how you did?
Sent from my SM-P607T using XDA Premium HD app
No, I didn't... as you've probably noticed, info re: the entire process of root, recovery, custom ROM is kind of spread out around the forum. I thought that might be necessary because I recalled reading something about having to do that to flash a p605 ROM on a p607t (might have pertained to a specific ROM or something), but I asked specifically in the xKat thread to make sure and found it (well, first by just trying it - then took a look at the thread mid flash and saw that someone had responded :good that the xKat zip can be flashed as-is. Select any options you'd like in the Aroma installer and you're good to go! (You do need to flash an additional file after at least one reboot - otherwise you'll need to enter your wifi pass after each reboot... it's the OP of the ROM thread).
I can only say for certain that xKat w/ SE permissive kernel works great on the 607t... I think any p605 ROM can actually just be flashed without modification (hopefully someone will chime in and correct me if that isn't true - I think the info about modifying zips was just speculation, but was found not to actually be the case). Just make sure to make a nandroid of the stock ROM before flashing
How are you liking the new tablet? Loving it here! I hope now the T-mobile is selling it (by far the best of their Android tablets), this device will gain back some popularity that it lost from the TabPro release a few months later. Perhaps the forum will liven up a bit
I absolutely love this tablet. Im coming from a Nexus 10 and although they share the same screen resolution, this one is much faster, sleeker, brighter, and I'm loving the S pen. I had it rooted ten minutes after i brought it home. I've also recovered from a soft brick after having flashed the wrong twrp. Woops! Ive been dying to try different rom on this bad boy, hence all the questions for you. I'm gonna give xkat a go here. I'll report back to you with my results!

Nice man! Feel free to PM me if you get stuck anywhere along the way
BTW: Something I just learned, even if you select the SE permissive kernel, your kernel will be enforcing unless you manually change it, either via terminal or that SElinux Changer app (forgot exactly what it's called). I had been confused re: why in "About device" it said that the kernel was SE enforcing even though I installed the permissive one. Just FYI
Does spen work on xkat anybody revert successfully and gain the function back?

Maybe this is not what you are looking for, but this sounds as great ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-t3657384
( I didnt test, just reading the thread )
the rom JIJOK mentioned, is very good. I am using it atm. But "half root" and "noteamwin"... I think you should read the threads very carefully. At first get real recovery (Sony EMMA Tool) and TWRP (yes team win).
I was able to use https://github.com/anestisb/android-prepare-vendor to prepare the vendor images to correctly build AOSP.
I submitted some changes to make it work with Pixel2-XL and they have been merged into main branch.
You have to wipe everything.
I dont know how to make proper zip images for TWRP so use fastboot
I use the fastboot script included in the zip after a full wipe and im all good
Thanks:

I've been doing my best to get my own build running for a few weeks now, and while everything else seems to work perfectly, I can't seem to figure out a way to get it to connect to mobile data. I'd be really interested to hear if there's something in addition to the build instructions provided by Google that you had to do to get it working!
I would just use your build, but my goal is to avoid gapps altogether. Hopefully the trick isn't to have gapps installed
Thanks!

I thought the whole point of gapps is Google *****es if you build a Rom with google apps installed already...

u did add in the propietary drivers i assume before u started making ur build?
this build is running smooth! i almost wanna say u couldve left gapps out n let ppl choose which they want to use but of cpurse this is only the beginning.. first thing i did was remove all those google hotword apks that fc, not had any issues yet and u already stated squeeze isnt on here but i nvr used that anyways
I was building from source today but my env has a ways to go before its useable.. it literally took all day to make aosp arm64 eng lol.. started gettin low mem stops towards the end so gonna look at it tom... i actually need to change it up and tweak settings cuz i only got 6gb ram
my set up tho is ur aosp, flash kernel 2.05 and magisk 15.1.. butter.. or shall i say vanilla??

aosp i dont think includes automatocally.. its runnin android web view n all lol instead of chrome that is
Now, I'm relatively new to the rooting world of Android. Is AOSP essentially custom ROMs? I know this is sort of a "if you don't know, you likely shouldn't be messing with it." I just love tweaking my phone!
So far only the squeeze doesn't work? Should the less advance user hold off until it's been tested a bit? Regardless, thanks for distributing your work to everyone on here! I love this community. Being able to share in the glory that is altering literally almost every aspect of your phone's software.

for u id say hold off.. it works fine for me but it technically is a userdebug build.. AOSP =Android Open Source Project, Its basically Android built from Android source so typically devs can pull the source and make their own roms how they want them. Normally doesnt even have google apps like play store for example.
Its a very clean low lvl android OS and the dev controls every aspect of the build process.. its also been called Vanilla
this technically is "custom" but this initial build doesnt have many tweaks or customizations.. its merely a glimpse as to the possibilities
but hey, try it out if u got the itch, it wont hurt u lol plus the only real way to know the difference is to try it for yourself

Honestly, I'd normally listen and hold off. But since I have a day off I think I'm gonna attempt it just for the sake of learning!
As long as it has the Play Store so I can download the apps I want, I'm good. If I can get all the apps I need to than I'll be a happy camper.
Say later on it's decided I want to go to another AOSP rom, am I going to have to wipe again? If I can get all my apps, won't have to wipe my device every other week, and can get my modules installed I should be good to do some good old fashioned experimentation.
I am not a smart man, at times. I'm gonna try it out. I have a few hours before anyone else is awake. Might as well use that time (un)wisely.
Plus I believe these "vanilla" ROMs, being what they are, can be modded to an even greater extent than the already pretty modifiable "stock" Pixel ones. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I submitted my changes and they will update in a few days to the add tamien support.
I am going to hold off on this for now, as it's just a shell of what custom Android can be but just wanted to say thank you very much for getting the ball rolling. For giving us hope haha. I check the thread at least 4 times a day and my heart jumped when I saw this post! Good work!
Nice can we flash the Kernels that have been around here for a while on this rom?

@deeproot
have you uploaded your WIP android_prepare_vendor anywhere? I would like to clone your changed repo and run this script if possible.
I attempted to manually add your changes in the pull request, but the script is breaking with a debugfs error
Thanks,
