Motorola Devour info - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hey guys, I'm new to the Android community as of yesterday. (Have been WinMo for years) Well I have the Motorola Devour in hands and been messing with it and so far am impressed. I know it's not as "good" as the Droid, but I love the design over the Droid. So anyways, I am making this post to let any devs or coders know I am willing to help out however possible on testing or getting info from the phone to help with rooting or anything else with the device. Feel free to PM me if there is anything I can do or provide. I know the risk of performaing such tasks, but am willing to take them to help out.

And once you have detected the software or app you want ask to the OP to get help. A donation to the developer or to XDA site is more welcome than ofering to pay.
Good luck,

True....we are a community built on labours of love, and it is better to donate to the site. My wife has dyslexia, but since she got into playing with PPCs and perusing this site, has become rather adept at modding AND reading. We all will be glad to help, just PM me.
After all, what is a community for?

[Backflip] Root Bounty

For now, until I can post links here, to donate, visit the link below to get to the donation link.
Please help us get root, whether you own a Backflip or are a Dev/Hacker, or both. There are quite a few people out there that are trying to obtain Root for the Backflip and we appreciate everything you are doing, we're just looking for more help in achieving this. We all want Root for this device.
I have this posted up on several sites, so I've created one web page to keep everything update in one place for all the sites. If you are interested, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Any and all help is appreciated. You can find the current status, total, and my contact information here: scorchgaming.com/bfrootdonate.htm (Can't post links yet.).
(I know I'm a new user, I just registered, but have been viewing the site for a while now. I have plenty of other online forum experience a long with tons of online business. For any one looking for vouches, I can provide them.)
Bump. Totals for today have been posted on the Bounty Page.
Please support this device!

There's gotta be some backflip lovers around these seas Lets see what happens with tihs
I don't see too many people sending you money without the root being done first... wouldn't be too smart. I do not believe you are trying to take peoples money and I appreciate what your doing to try and get the backflip rooted as I am waiting for it also, but sending someone money online in HOPES that someone will do something? No thanks. Maybe pledge the money and send it after it has been completed.
Maybe, but while I haven't gotten much interest over here, I have gotten over $200 in pledges from other sites. If you don't feel confortable, that's fine, make a pledge, if you do, great.
This has been done before though for the SE X10 specifically. With pretty good support for it. One thread says $890, the other says $1650.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700447
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651336
I've gotten over $200 in pledges in a little over a week, so if the pace keeps up, which hopefully it will, we'll have a decent amount to draw interest to the phone.
Update: I have received almost $500 in donations and pledges in two weeks.
I'm sure there's plenty of others out there that haven't heard about this yet. Please help spread the word. I hope some developers are seeing this also. Without you guys, this doesn't get us any where.
Wow. Looks like the total is up to almost $550. Hopefully we'll get some dev attention for this.
Bump for some more interest!
Trying to help spread the word about the bounty. Started tweeting it out, but only have 1 follower, so... we need more people to get involved in letting devs know about this.
I've been using #backflipbounty in my tweets along with http://bit.ly/c06W3c
ie.
Help get the Motorola Backflip rooted, spread the word about the #backflipbounty. http://bit.ly/c06W3c Please retweet!
PS. I'm @Dbagjones on Twitter
Need a tester willing to put in a some time.
I can get root on the backflip, I'll need someone with a backflip who is willing to teamviewer me into a console so I can verify my method will work.
Contact me and we can set up a time later today if that works for you.
I'm going to take a few hours and familiarize myself with moto's goofy rom packaging scheme and the like before I dive into a phone. I'll pm you sometime this week.
I'd also be willing to help out (have Backflip, ADB, etc. but no clue hacking Android). PM me here, tweet me @Dbagjones or SMS 772.226.0185 <-- Google Voice is the bomb!
bump for greatness

No one will donate any time for someone to have a crack at the backflip I guess it will just have to wait.
Does anyone respond to PM's anymore?
i know every backflip owner wants root
what exactly do u need? i know we all want our phones rooted.

PM me, I will be out for a few hours. Then I will be around. I don't have teamviewer installed but tell me how and I will install it.
PM me anything else I need to have setup and ready for you.

I need someone who is willing to give me remote adb access to the hardware so I can try out the idea's I have on rooting the backflip. It shouldn't take more than an hour for me to know whether my ideas will work or not.
Tried my ideas, nothing worked. Sorry guys!

Development Coming Soon? (AndroidSpin Posted My Article, Skilled Dev Willing to help)

I've been trying my hardest contacting many people to get development started with this phone. Since not many Experienced Devs would be looking the way of this phone i've been trying to reach out.
I Contacted AndroidSpin as well and they are very well known android news site (which i check everyday) and managed to get an article out about helping with development with our phone (awsome, thanks AndroidSpin!) See the Article Here
Hopefully in the Near future we will have a working recovery and ROMs/Mods/Themes Rolling out. A Very experienced Dev has Contacted me Back Saying he is Willing to Help but nothing is promised as he doesnt have a Sidekick 4G at hand. But he is willing to make a working recovery for us so lets see what happens .
He will Definitely need testers.. i will be one ofcourse hope others are interested in seeing development stir up over here aswell !
nice to hear about.....i have been checked this 4rum everyday to looking for a news but still......hopefully something will come out soon....:x im willing to be the tester for this as well.....
I just want to say thank you to all of you working on this. As a former Hiptop user and open-source enthusiast, I took issue with the closed platform that Danger had installed on it and ended up ditching it. When I heard the new Sidekicks would be running Android I jumped at the chance to have one, only to find out that development was lacking interest due to the stigma of the old Hiptops as phones for teenagers. It's wonderful to see more people getting interested in this and I hope to help as much as I can in the future. Thank everyone again and happy hacking to you all!
willing to help
I'm very interested in getting development going for this phone as well, I don't have the time or the skill set to cook roms myself but I am more than willing to test and give feedback. I know a lot of devs aren't interested since they spent last year with the galaxy s line of phones and there are new dual cores to play with, but I think this phone is really unique and could definitely have a big following because of the fact that it is soo different than the sea of slabs out there. I hope development picks up, there are plenty of custom roms out there already built for the galaxy s line that would only need to be tweaked to work with this device so hopefully that picks up soon.
I'm very interested in helping with development, came from the G1 and had fun with that. I was trying to figure out how to compile ClockworkMod but because Samsung uses initRamFS rather than a regular makefile, I was unable to figure it out. I'm very open to testing and trying to help as best I can with developing on this phone, feel free to e-mail me if anyone has any need to test anything, I'm always checking my e-mail. sduvick AT gmail.com. For those who understand the compiling of clockworkmod, I would suggest working from the Vibrant version, as the buttons are all mapped right, we just need to add the storage driver so that the sdcard can be mounted.
I would love to be a tester please keep me posted.

+Thanks.
I'm still stock and would be willing to help some dev's

Do devs have a sidekick yet?

Hey guys, I'm gonna be getting the Sensation in about 2 weeks and I would really like to help out development for the Sidekick 4G in some way. Since I don't have much knowledge in programming, I am willing to help out with giving a Sidekick to the devs here. I just got a replacement for my warranty so the phone is pretty much like new and I won't be using it at all. I don't know how much this phone goes on ebay, and I'm not sure if this is already been taking care of, but I'd be willing to help out.
Please let me know.

I'm looking for a loaner. See this post.
But, if any other devs think they can get CM7 or CM9 on SK4G better then I can, I yield to them.
Or if you are more interested in getting money for the phone, it's probably better you get money.
EDIT: Also, I'm hanging out on freenode on #teamacid and #sk4g in case anyone wants to chat.
Directions for #teamacid are here.

eager newb seeking experienced android development veteran to learn from

hey, hopefully im posting this in the right section. im still pretty new to xda as well as the fascinating world of root access, custom recovery's and roms, and such so please let me know if this post is out of place and i apologize ahead of time if it is.
anyways, as for my original reason for posting to the forum, hi everybody ive somewhat recently discovered the possibilities of root access, custom roms and the like. not long ago i was in the market for a new device and came across an offerup post for a galaxy core prime SM-G360T1 (the metro pcs variant) at the price of $35 obo soo, personally never being the biggest samsung supporter i offered $20 n continued looking for another decent LG to hook up to my metro service. long story short they accepted my offer n deals like that shant b ignored so i purchased said core prime n spent the whole night searching through the xda forums to learn all i could.
soo, here i am now the proud owner of my first galaxy device, a rooted SM-G360T1 with a good working touch version of twrp (my preferred choice in custom recoveries) but, as ive come to discover only one very aptly named custom rom exists for this particular galaxy and though i completely respect its creator for all the time & effort he put into releasing the first working pre-rooted, de-bloated custom rom available for the SM-G360T1, i personally decided to stick with the stock rooted firmware and do the de-bloating and such myself.
ok sry about the mindless rambling there i may have gotten a bit carried away. now, as for my point in posting this in the first place. i wouldnt feel right asking others to solve my little issues for me so im not gunna try to pressure anybody into puttin out more roms for the metro core prime. instead, if at all possible i would merely like to meet someone more experienced and well-versed in the art of android development who might b interested in maybe taking me under their wing so that i might get the opportunity to learn the ways of the code and hopefully one day have all the knowledge necessary to develop my own custom roms, or maybe even eventually get myself a couple of apps that i can b proud of onto the play store.
to summarize, i am but a young aspiring software developer will very little knowlege of or experience with code, tho was raised on home built pcs my whole life so i know my way around a desktop pretty well hardware-wise as well as software-wise, im very willing and eager to learn, whilst having already developed through my previous experiences, a healthy fear of bricking yet another phone which has resulted in an increase in the frequency with which i backup my data, as well as a certain acquired hesitation toward attempting any uncertain actions without first doing the appropriate research on the given subject and im hoping to find someone willing to pass some of their vast knowledge down to me whom i can consider to b my teacher, professor, sensai, master, whichever u prefer, and whom i would never hesitate but to thank and give credit for any and all software that i may one day develop as a result of the lessons they had taught me :victory:
aaaanyways, this post turned out a lot longer than i anticipated so, if uve been able to stick it out and make it this far i am both sry for taking up so much of your time, as well as truly grateful to u for having taken said time to hear me out. well, have a wonderful day everybody and i hope to hear from my future sensai soon. until such time i shall b waiting paitiently thnx again for reading
oh and also just wanted to add that if anybody that knows what theyre doing happens to be in the midst of making/porting any new roms for the SM-G360T1 samsung galaxy core prime metro pcs version and needs any help with like testing or wutever let me know, i got a good twrp nandroid backup ready to b restored n just in case of an emergency i still got odin and the rooted kernel that i used to root it in the first place saved onto my pc
