Motorola Devour has been gaining a bit more lime-light as the Droid root technique worked nearly similar to it.
I'm sure if you search around xda you will see people have used the technique to gain root.
I'm interested in rooting and flashing this device for my girlfriend but had come to XDA in hopes of some answers but only fell short when I could not find a Sub-Forum to it.
Anyone else interested?

Would be great to have a subforum for the Devour!
If we are making forums for the Bravo, Flipout, and other midrange Motorola devices, we should certainly have one for the Devour.
This phone has one of the nicest keyboard and build quality around, and has a solid 600Mhz Qualcomm.
There should really be a forum for it, we'd appreciate it greatly!
First off I would like to thank too many people to list with all the hardwork and time spent building these cdma roms for winmo and android devices, THANK YOU! I am a member of several forums and have a general knowledge of phone flashing and modification and thats all because of xda, howard forums, my friend/boss(ztahoez, dex, yamin, berry), cdma gurus, mobile-files and ppc geeks. I have posted links on cdma gurus to some wikis and tutorials and roms that were originally created and posted by members of this site (thanks again). If anyone has the interest and time their is a demand for fully functional ROM's built for cricKet wireless customers. Myself and others ztahoez, dex, genuwine1976 and too many more to list all utilize and compile works and original concepts to make this happen for people. If anyone is interested in helping I would like to work together and build a better experience for cricKet customers using non-cricket phones.
Agenda so far,
Hero
Incredible
Eris
Devour
Ally
Droid X
Droid 2
Also, there is a great program that will give full functionality on cricKet and metropcs called DroidFlash, very simple to use and works like a charm, but I would like to have a different approach for more experienced users.
Dear devs,
alquez needs a helping hand and/or a pair of eyes that can help him.
He already more or less knows where the fault lays but he can't get rid of it atm, but the problem is that he can't get help at his section, cause he is the only one who tries to port cyanogen for the wildfire s and all others no nothing about aosp roms.
It's a small device, but it also deserves it to get such a nice ROM and alquez is a good developer, but it's hard to do the whole stuff alone, so pls guys take a look at his current beta and give him a hint or maybe speak to him yourself, any help would be much appreciated
Pls help this small but nice device to get what it deserves
Thx in advance!
Here is the link to his ROM (the link to his source is in his sig)

Swyped from my Desire S
Here is what's left to be done:
alquez said:
I need someone to help me with issues, because I don't have time right now, and I don't want the project to be abandoned. Most of them are kernel related.
Few notes:
- The kernel that works with most functions uses the test branch from Drowningchild's fork
- You need to find better wifi drivers (pure android bcm4329 works, but its unstable)
- Camera flash bug, it's really annoing. Someone should try to mess around with unified cm kernel
- the AOSP code i kanged into board-marvel.c is _not-the-best-one_ and it should be cleaned up/changed
- You won't get video playback to work using official htc kernel sources, sou basically, we are forced to use cm7 based kernels, because of aosp style drivers
- files to look at - ls /arch/arm/mach-msm/board-marvel* - someone should correct marvelc andf marvelct too (for ther variants of phone)
I'll resume work ASAP.

I know your trying to get the attention of the developers in this section, I know you've stated this isn't for the Desire S, I know your intentions are right.
But mate seriously. This is not a development thread for the HTC Desire S. This should be in the general section. Lastly you could have even PM'd one of the developers to consider having a look.

I know your right and I already knew it before I opened this thread, but I hope you can forgive me my fault, it wasn't meant bad at all and I also don't wanted to cause any problems with it, I would also understand if the thread would be moved or deleted, I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would understand it^^
If you're really strict the general section also would be the wrong place, cause it's also related to the wrong device, but even if I post there the chance to find someone that maybe wants to help is much less then here, that's why I tried it this way. And I didn't pm any dev, cause atm they got enough to do with ics and I don't wanted that one of them does it cause he/she thinks he/she has to, I was hoping someone who really wants to join can see that there is the need for it.
Also for sure not all devs are that present here every time, with such a thread the chance is higher to reach more of them.
And last but not least our devs are some of the nicest on xda as much as I know, that's also a reason why I made it here and not anywhere else.

Feel your pain. The desire s was like that months ago. However, the desire s still doesn't have many developers, especially kernel devs. You may find help here and kudos if you do but you may get better luck asking devs in the desire HD forums.
Sorry I couldn't help

First off all thx for the hint
I know that, I've seen it myself, unfortunately you used the app to answer, otherwise you would have seen my sig^^
But the big plus the desire s got is the better hardware, the wildfire s is somehow as old as the desire s, but cause of the weaker cpu, the smaller ram & rom size there are much less developers.
I know we haven't as much as others, but we got great devs like superkid, nexx, cayniarb, just to name a few and i'm sure there are many more 'at the underground'^^
At desire HD forum are as much as i know great developers, but not really nice guys, that's what i meant that our devs (the desire s devs) are some of the nicest on xda. And cause of this i was hoping it maybe would be easier to find someone here.
But anyway i will also try it at the desire hd forum, maybe i even can keep my head there^^
Try to contact Nexx, Caynarib or SuperKid.
