it's a very know fact that maximum of the devices from Indian brands never have access to these well known rooms while they have good specifications. Why is it so?
yes Roms from other devices are ported to the Indian brand mobiles but it doesn't match my expectations.
If these senior respected developers can somehow show some love to Indian brand mobiles, it would be great.
It's my personal thinking. Yours can differ.

I doubt there would be custom ROMS..

I don't see someone helping us in the near future..

see.. :cowboy:
what i have understood is.. basically custom roms are developed for whom, whose official roms are pathetic and have loads of bloatwares. :rolleyes:
indian brands do not take load to customize the rom and barely put few bloatwares resulting low cost mobile fones. :p
these are stock androids are i feel are very stable wrt performance. :good:
we only have option to play with launchers :fingers-crossed:

But still then those roms provide us with extra features that stock rom don't...

Yes I agree. It also provide performance improvement options. Optimization on various things and near possibility to do any things. Problem is we need some sources based on CM or PA to start with MTK devices. Hopes one day will have it. Then we will start it.
Mtk devices are in market from so long and still nothing happened.... Still waiting..

The main problem!

CM, Paranoid, AOKP, AOSP are some great ROM's indeed! However, I believe Mediatek does not release it's kernel source, in other words, It's kernels are 'Closed Source'. Cyanogenmod requires a custom kernel to be built and compiled, for that, complete kernel source is needed. A few leaked sources for MT6589 made first CM possible. Until MTK changes it's mind, its very much impossible to see all those quality ROM's for our handsets. I also think that there is a petition on change.org, requesting Mediatek to make everything open source. You can sign it, I have signed it as well.

Can you give me the link to that petition as I am unable to find it?
