HTC Merge aka Lexikon Development - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

.....

.....

Carriers
.....

Anyone? I am with usc and it was between this an a mesmerize. I got the merge since I like sense, and its quadrant score was WAY better. No if only someone would be able to root it, and let the development begin

Is this phone being ignored because it was a ghost for so long? Are the few of us who have it going to need to learn how to be developers to monkey around with our phones?

I have an HTC Merge. I found a perma-root for it and have done it sucessfully

I also have the latest stock rom ( 2.3.5 Gingerbread )
If someone is interested in creating a custom rom for this device, I would love to help.

OK, so I'm gonna build a rom but, I need ideas , and help compiling.

Hi XDA-DEVS! I am gonna be a rom builder and I would love some idea's and I am gonna need help on how to accomplish somethings in the rom. I am trying to go with an OEM mix, like shaps. So can you guys help me get started? I don't really want to start customizing the bootscreens. I was mainly going for a HTC ROM/AT&T ROM hybrid. It would have all the apps from at&t and the internet settings and be biased on the HTC rom with all the goodness. Of course I would remove the trial's and I make it better. I would want to make as many hybrids as possible for each carrier. So I hope you guys can help me .
Also it will be called HyBR!d X. LOL
Links for later usenot here yet)

[Q] Plz help I'm new to android....

I'm sorry if i'm reposting the same thing and i do know that a lot of ppl are getting yelled at for this but I'm really ignorant about this android operating system... i don't know what it is... i don't know what rooting is... or whats the difference between froyo and eclair... Like I've mentioned earlier i don't know anything about this except for the fact that i just bought a new Samsung galaxy S captivate... If anyone can help plz do cause i am lost to no end... Thank you very much...
Rooting gives you administrative control over your phone and allows you to flash custom versions of Android. It basically allows you to have much more control over what you can do on your phone. Froyo, Eclair, etc are the names given to different versions of Android. Eclair is 2.1, Froyo 2.2, and Gingerbread 2.3.
Ohhh... well i think i i root my phone and is currently running eclair but i am trying to run froyo on it... how can i get there.... i'v dont some research on this forum and YouTube lol but the links they give me all came back as dead links... and installing froyo with cognitive is very confusing because the package that i have to install is a lot more than the elair... am i stating this correctly or am i just lost period... LOl thank you for your reply..
stay at version 2.1 eclair and get darkys v9.0.2 the best by far, its a custom rom and is amazingly fast. its easier todo if your on 2.1. so uprgrade to darkys rom. type in darkys rom. and itt has full instructions for noobs
i think the main reason for me to update is because i want to run skype... other then that i love eclair... i don't mind it at all... but for some reason skype only works on 2.2 firmware...
Im new to android too ... I just got my htc legend. The problem is i believe its under "vodafone" branding because everytime i switch my phone on the vodafone logo shows up. So the first i want to do is to remove this ... Can you please help me put here ?
hahha ive just sent my back to the guy i bought it off as mine was unlocked but vodafone branded. i hate it wen they do this. sometimes they even put vodafone stickers on the fone, its so annoying. am not entirerly sure to be fair. maybe reflash the phone . not sure mate
^ Oh man.... i completely new to this ! How can i tell if my phone is in unlocked condition or not ?
And how do i reflash it?
'you're in the right place, give it a couple of weeks and in no time you will be rooting ROMing and modifying like a pro. take it from me who knew nothing about the Android OS and now I'm up there.

I read somewhere in the rules for xda, you should search before posting question
Anyhow, this is a starting point. I don't have the Captivate but I am sure there are many more topics about your phone.

Calling Devs contribute to the Motorola Triumph!(UPDATED)

UPDATED (8-1-2011)
Well here's the basics. The triumph can be rooted with gingerbreak, and need a dev to make us some roms. Now i think the bootloader UNLOCKED and similar to the droid(stock froyo build on triumph) There are guys and gals who will contribute on Androidforums.com to see some dev work completed on the triumph. So basic review what we need:
A Dev - we have One that really contribute alot(issacj87) And we would like some more lol!
Custom recovery - Thanks to issacj87 AND tj styles we have CWM!!!
ROMS- This is the next step
And i would love to see MIUI on the triumph- Waiting on a cm7 build then this COULD be a reality!
Here's some specs on the triumph:

Did you charge your phone to 100% and let it die on you before charging it up back to 100% again? You have to train the phone to get use to your usage.
I'm not a true dev, but I make themes, and I could port my sense theme to this phone if anyone wants?
Yes please!
Will be picking up this phone soon. Xda devs are awesome.

Yes any kind of help is much apperciated
Looks like we about to get the stock rom quicker than i excepted. No eta but looks promising!!!

TJ Style is working on a rom for the CSL Spice Mi410.
I guess it may be cross flashable with the Triumph since these have identical specs.
Anyone risked the Gingerbread firmwares out for the Mi410 on their Triumphs?
A beta 2.6.32.9 kernel source code for the Mi410 has been released btw
id be willing to throw some money a dev's way to get CM7 on this sucker...
We have a custom recovery CWM!!! Thanks to issacj87, tjstyles, and others!
Anybody that would like to build a custom rom, or a theme build for us please let us know! we can provided you a cwm nandroid of the stock rom!!!
http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/383332-clockworkmod-recovery-motorola-triumph.html
This requires more attention. This phone rocks for the price. Why is there no section for the Triumph on here? It would get more attention if we did. Not that there's anything wrong with androidforums, there's just a different group of developers here. More the merrier.

[SHOCKED] Even i9001 has already build their cyanogenmod! Where is the i9003 one?

Any one has witness this? Mr. Netchip from i9001 forum has already build their cyanogenmod test build today! Where is i9003 one?
(I am not blaming anyone, I would make my very effort in helping any of us who would like to make our phone better, our phone must gain the thing that other have also!)
Things we ought to do to make our phone better:
Cyanogenmod 7 (Can wait until the Final release come up)
MIUI (Somehow we are requesting, but still waiting...)
TV-out (Researching is in progress, but we have to get a more update source for doing it. Gaining other developers support is also very important. May be some developer from Motorola Milestone or LG optimus black can help.)
A complete stable enough kernel, can be overclocked to 1.2 Ghz or more and with some more features. (I believe our phone has enough top-level developer to do this. But the most important things is we must wait for a better and updated stock kernel. I think Samsung will release its forth stable GingerBread ROM in the upcoming days. Probably an Asia ROM.)
I fell confident to our phone because our phone has a potential to be better. We have to gain more support from some other place. I suggest we can co-operate with developers from LG optimus black, they have their oc kernel too. But stable. We have many similarities, both have a chipset TI OMAP 3630, same display resolution, both have open source kernel, also waiting for porting cyanogenmod, miui etc.
Well, talked so much about LG optimus black. At last I hope everyone in i9003 can help together to fight for a better future for our phone...
---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------
Also, one more thing we should fight for:
Tell everybody in the world, i9003 is different from i9000! We should have a different forum!!!

the i9001 build doesnt work!!
and fyi,they dont even have cwm!!!
Right! i9001 has CM7? I think we need to take a giant leap and port cm7! Let's see what happens! Ther reason why our phon eis not populare is because many people are going for a S or S2 with a cost of only some extra bucks! Our phone is only populare in Asia-Pacific region! We also need experienced Developers! Each and every i9003 XDA user is learning developement! (Which is a very very very good thing!) And , hence, we can soon make our phone better!
Cm7 for i9003!
All developers unite! !!!
A call to arms! !
Sent from my gt-I9003 with A.I. Type
+1
we would build an developers group with i9003 1st, to start...
and i hope others who have much income can do have a donation for this group so that they can buy a beer..
I have an idea. I will be downloading cm7 for i9000. I can see the structure of the file and I can try porting it! I would suggest everybody to download a CWM flashable zip and try this thing out. Also, I will not be availabel until 26th due to some personal reasons. The first thing I begin to do in the morning of September 26th will be to work on the structure and the port. I think, I can run CM7 on a stock CWM kernal! Let's wait and watch! Just wait......And Watch! ;-;
That sounds great!
@ rohan
rohan i really appreciate ur efforts. But galaxy s has complete different file structure & modified kernal than galaxy sl.
I said again & again & still saying that plz dont discuss by creating threads only. Instead of this plz contact cynogen mod developers & convince them to work for us. I really observed one thing that many people on our forum just want thing without any effort. By just writing here that we want CM7 not a single developer will look into ur thread even. If we approach other super developer and literally beg them to help us then @ least they will start to think upon our request. It may be successful or not but at least outer world will come to know the potential & spirit we all people have for our phone.

The dev who's working on the cm7 thing for the i9001 , 'netchip', does NOT own the phone and He's currently got a kernel for sgs2 (which he uses) too..
So i think we should ask him to help us with porting the cyanogen mod to our phone.. What say ??

please, somebody with GB, can you tell me if we have the following files in the filesystem:

/system/lib/libsamsungcamera.so
/radio/modem.bin
I asked it here but nobody answer it...
These files (and many more) need to make CM7 work with our environment

Galaxy Ace got cm7
i9003 deserves cm7
even my old samsung galaxy i5700 got cm7 :/
I tried attempting in doing what I can to get CM7 looked into, problem lies in, Even if we get 90% into completing it, Without a hacked/broken down kernel, there's no way we can enjoy the benefits.
I have seen 2 GT-I9003 installed in http://stats.cyanogenmod.com/.

[DEV] HELP: Porting AOSP ROM to HTC Explorer

So, i currently have an HTC Explorer A310.
The device already has a valid method to unlock the Bootloader, and the "only" thing missing is CUSTOM ROMS.
There was already one called MasterMind, but, unfortunately, the dev sold his device and development was discontinued. Even if this was a custom rom, it still had all that HTC/Sense crap which most of us hate.
So, i was wondering, what do we have to do to build an AOSP based ROM (CM maybe..?), as clean as possible, to this device?
I have some programming knowledge (c, c++, java...) and i'm currently studying IT @ university.
I just need someone to guide me, so i won't turn my phone into a small brick.
I was thinking that a good start would be to find a similar divice which already had AOSP ROM's. With some search i found out that some HTC Aria users were trying to Port the Sense 3.5 of the Explorer to their phone, and that Aria already has CM7, for example.
Sorry for my "not so good" english, but if you have some knowledge in this subject, please, help
Nobody?
come on! :\
kernel source is already in Htcdev site if that help in building an AOSP rom
What is your status?
- Have you found information about a similar device?
- Have you successfully rooted your device?
- Did you already compile some existing AOSP rom?
- Have you found/read a guide/post about porting android?
- Did you backup your original firmware?
Don't own the phone anymore, but, as i said on the op, the HTC Aria seems quite similar.
so you have given up porting to htc explorer?
Since i don't have it anymore it would be quite difficult to do it.
Besides, nobody showed any interest in this...
would love to see it
