Hi! There are some custom roms : cm, aokp, pa, mokee...
These Roms are very good, but now I 'd like to ask everyone some ideas for a custom rom "designed by community" not only what developer(s) like. A rom with ONLY things that may be useful, not bloatware or stupid apps, so I'm going to ask to create a developer team (everyone that get the know-how to develop a custom ROM can joy this) and I'd like to see what USERS want, what is useful what are our ideas and use them to make a custom ROM where YOU can be an active component for the development.
I'm thinking about an AOSP ROM, maybe kitkat(when Google will release the final sources), because I think that a good custom ROM need a good source, and aosp is perfect.
So I'm only waiting ideas from the community here :)
 
Ideas from community


-Themes
-Quicktoggles
-kitkat
-Open source kernel
-Xposed Framework
-SeLinux
-Proprer Gapps
-Halo))) (Waiting for PA port on kitkat)
-Firefox Browser
-AD Block
-Fdroid maket
-App Ops
-3 ways Reboot

The problem with this is that you can't make all users happy with one rom.
In the end u'll do exactly the same as Cyanogen - doing things as generic as possible.(Or like Paranoid with a overflow of features)
 
Really good idea!!!!
I don't know how to work with code & develop
But I can be active and help you all out :D
 
For me, CM has the best between features-bloatware. When I use CM, I only miss the battery bar from MIUI, and other little features.

But I think that an AOSP ROM with an extended settings for notification widgets, long press back to kill and just a few features more, would be great. Then I will only focus on battery life, responsiveness, and the most important thing, and what makes MIUI the only ROM I can use, the UI. I usually like minimalistic design but Holo is too much, and the dark design is not attractive and I easily get bored of it.

Great! I see that this is not a bad idea for the community, I'm going to wait a little bit, until sources of mi2(s) will be stable and then collect some others ideas :)
 
Battery life is the most important!!!
If you can get mi2s battery better it will be amazing
Because MIUI kills battery drain :(

My honest opinion about what makes a ROM perfect (and indirectly also why I use miui):

1. A proper music player, well designed, easy to use, not full of crap like play music.

2. Good lock screen includes for said player. One has to be able to fully control the player from the lock screen, even when it's not running. Like the miui double tap.

3. Flash light and again proper inclusion into the lock screen. It has to be always reachable and in a fast way cause let's face it, when you need it you always need it fast... And don't want to search for it.

4. It has to support themes, most people identify themselves with their phones and they need a way to customize them.

5. Smart toggles, miui, cm and co show you how it's done. Nothing annoys me more about aosp than the non changeable toggles.

That's about it from my end.

1. Poweramp is the best music player (but you want a built in one...)
2. Poweramp has it
3. Yes!
Miui has it when you long press home screen, Why not on our ROM ;)
4. YES
5. I agree, but like miui, can it be possible to add a screenshot toggle??

** battery life!!!
 
what about MIUI rom base on Android 4.4 or brandnew wonder launcher for Mi2 ?
i like new roms from developments but i can't use them more than 2 or 3 days because there are some few bugs and these apps are not useful and beautiful.
They like HTC because Sense, they like Lg because Optimus Home, they like Samsung because Touchwiz, ..... ? The perfect rom is not only base on good soure. This is what i'm thinking :D

OK i think that cherry picking some source form cm and aokp all those things will be possible
Battery life will depend on kernel i'm thinking about m1cha or Ivan's one: m1cha is better because it use mako sources and Ivan's have a working camera...... But I'd like to start with kitkat not jb, for the better performances (tryed on my nexus 7) but this mean a long time waiting, because need a open source 3.4 4.4 kernel and other 4.4 source....
I can't made a miui ROM which is based on 4.1+ because miui is not open source, so no source=no development.
But for now I need some people that can help me develop this ROM because I'm not an expert, just develop for hobby :)

i just think why not add "PREvent misuse" to the custom rom >.< it is very useful
I tryed an app that works like prevent misuse, bit i don't understand at alla what does this feature do... XP
