[Q] [noob] Motorola (Droid 3) ROM creation

Hey guy, sorry for the post in the general forum, but I don't have enough posts to post in the Droid 3 section of the website. I've been following the threads in there for a couple months now, and I've rooted my Droid 3 and flashed quite a few different ROMs on there, but I was looking into creating my own, or at least starting with someone else's as a base.
I made sure to do a pretty thorough Google search before posting here, but most of the ROM creation guides I've found are pretty device specific. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to write a guide for creating/modding a ROM for the Droid 3, or at least give me some pointers on how to get started
(BTW, I'm a programmer with a bit of experience, but no Android dev experience whatsoever, just giving a point of reference).
Thanks!

Sorry, just noticed the thing about questions going into the Q&A section. This is more of a request than a question, but if a mod feels like it should be moved than feel free to do so. I'd do it myself, but I can't move the post (and since it's more of a request than a question, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to).

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Bump, anyone?

i'm curious to know the same thing, but about the LG Vortex (a CDMA Optimus One Variant)
anyone?

The knowledge to root/hack a blessing or curse?

So a couple of months ago I purchased my first android phone (my nexus) to specifically root and flash. I tried many roms and have had a jolly good time here at xda.
Now here is the small dilemma that I'm facing with all this new found knowledge of rooting phones. Ever since I rooted my gfs inc2, she goes around telling everyone that her bf(me) is the one to call for smartphone tech.
Yesterday I just rooted and flashed miui on her coworkers Droid 2 global. Btw that phone was a ***** to work on, I had to go to read like 5 different forums to get the corrects steps to flash gb roms.
And now just today my gf is asking me if I could jailbreak her brothers new iPhone 4.
Yeah I'm in no way mad about people asking me for help but I guess I'm now the phone guru that everyone relies on. I do enjoy working on different phones, and flashing roms are always fun.
I'm wondering if anyone else on xda has turned into the go-to-guy for smart phone related tech?

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Yes.
I have been in this position. Mostly due to my root and rom changing need. Always people asking me to jailbreak their iphone/ipod (Easy if you ask on google, aye?) Currently I am on ICS(Android 4.0) on Samsung Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your time.

LG MyTouch 4G - TMobile

i haven't been able to find any threads or forums relating to this phone yet so if anyone knows of any please point me in that direction
so far all ive been able to find is this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378047
it has a method to provide root which i can confirm is working, i used the 1st method personally.
(I take no credit for this im just providing a link)
if anyone has any general input or lulz they feel they would like to say about this phone then lets place it here until such a time when this phone has its own development section. Thanks

Which phone to upgrade to...

Due an upgrade now. Currently have the one M8.
I am mixed between the LG G5 or S7 Edge.
I've not had an LG in decades and I've not been overly fond of the Samsung rand as I dont or didn't like the menu button lol. I also root my phones and I know Samsung have had issues with bootloops.
I know there are both similar in spec for most.
Which phones do the pubic recommend, Doesn't have to be the ones I've chosen so far?

Hi there,
There are threads already established that are devoted to discussions about devices, please read, and if necessary, repost your question in one of these threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
There are also several other discussion threads that you probably should review to help you. They are What phone do you wish you had? or
The Worst Android Device That You've Ever Had & Why or even this place that talks about The best phone you ever owned.
I will have to close this one. Thanks for understanding.
