UPDATE: Database 3.0 can now be found here

Someone asked me to create a thread here for my custom ROM comparison database, so that's what I'm doing here now.

A few words from my side so you know what to expect of it and clear things up.

This is the original text I posted on my blog, so I'll just put it up here as well.

Features of the database

--------------------------------------------------

- detailed list of all possible custom ROM feaures (~100 at the moment, constantly growing)

- containing 13 of the most popular ROMs + stock Android ROM + Xposed Framework to compare with each other (list is still growing)

- a lot of useful additional informations like links to downloads, ROM's websites, G+ communities and much more

- everything is sorted logically and color coded for fast and easy comparison

- all features have a quick explanation, expecially helpful for custom ROM beginners

- a lot of maintainers to keep it updated as good as possible (12 maintainers at the moment) - always looking for more, feel free to join

- constantly working on improving and enhancing the database

here is the link to the database 2.0 - thx to [MENTION=2533582]parker09[/MENTION]

some additional videos to explain the whole thing again...

Please feel free to leave any comments.

I'm a real Google docs noob so if someone maybe wants to help me clean it up and polish the style, just contact me.

And if this thread is posted in the wrong section, please just let me know.

Updates

Update

I read the posts here and on the portal and wanna set some things straight.

I do the database including the reviews in my free time, but besides that I´m also blogging,doing app/device reviews, how to´s and similar stuff so time for the database is therefore limited. That´s the reason I can´t progress with the database as fast as I would like to, also my way of testing takes up a lot of time.

I will of course try to do it as frequently as possible and of course ROMs like AOKP and Omni will follow in time.

That´s it for that.

Regarding mistakes and such, I know the database isn´t flawless but I´m not doing errors on purpose. About missing features of certain ROMs, it is possible some ROMs now have features that weren´t available at my time reviewing it but it´s almost impossible for me to keep track of all changes since I use different ROMs all the time and can´t always go back to already reviewed ones.

Update 2

Big change, after all what I read, I finally decided to make the database open to edit for public. Everyone can add ROMs and changes as he wishes to. I only ask users to be resposible and keep everything clean. Feel free to make new entries or correct errors if found. I think this is the best way for the database to grow.

The 2nd change is the move to another design made by [MENTION=2533582]parker09[/MENTION] that is way nicer and better in my opinion.

The old one will still stay but won´t be updated anymore I think. So don´t forget to change your current link to the new one.

BIG THX to everyone in advance who decides to particate on working on the database, I hope the new way is a win for everyone.

Update 3

Sorry to say but the open to public idea wasn't the best it seems since the database somehow got messed up a bit. I want to prevent this from happening that's why I have some rules now to hopefully keep things clean and right this time.

Everyone is still welcome to participate in maintaining the database but has to do following now in order to get permissions to edit.

This reason for the rules is so I can better keep track of what gets changed by who and I know which parts are getting updated and which not.

How to get permission to edit?

Please contact me via PM on xda with the following title...

maintain custom ROM database "your email adress" "your google name" (the name that will appear when editing the document)

- Please also write down your name and email again within the pm just to be sure

- Please tell me which ROM(s) you would like to maintain or what you plan to edit.

- Please tell me if it is ok to add you to hangouts, this would make the teamwork faster and easier

Rules for maintainers

can now be found directly in the database

I want this so I have a list of all the maintainer and know who does what, so things don't get mixed up like 2 people editing one rom at the same time getting each other between in their way. This gives me a better overview so I can track the changes.
