Is it me or has development slow down a bit! It seems it started out strong and lately we haven't seen much aside from Faux and CM updating their ASOP roms.
I mean we don't really have any themers either! I know if I could I would make some!
Coming from the Vibrant there was a lot of themes and dev going on!
Now I know it's been less than two months, but the way it started out I thought we would have more going on!
I guess maybe everyone is waiting on the GB update when ever we get it!
...
we waiting 2.3
gonna be here on 06/16/11
I hope GB gets here on 6/16 that would be the best B-day present I could get lol
I have a replacement unit coming the 22nd, I hope it comes with 2.3 already in it!
...
There are lots of themes. CM7 uses T-Mobile themes and they are downloadable in the market.
No reason to mod stock unless you install the cm theme support.
LG G2x CM7 2.3.4
couple things.
waiting for the gingerbread source from lg to insure everything needed will work. and dont want to release a rom at this point where i cant tell if reboots , wifi, 4g(whre it shuts down than takes a while to start again), as well as gps.
when these features are working on the phone as should than ill start the rom, but no care to spend days trying to figure out why something doesnt work when its the darn baseband that i cant mess with.
themes. the theming engine has taken over unfortunately. it does theme and is a lot easier for the themers(after they learn it) since 1 theme works on all roms. but its just not like the old days where every app was themed and such. some have taken time to write scripts and such so they can make a better more inclusive theme with it , but most of the themes for it are color changes and icons not full themes with every app themed as we were use to . I know several of the themes that are on my rom for the droid would never be able to be as complete through the theming engine. but it does ok just different. and does enable many more themes available to all roms. and its not like a this or that themes can still be made the old way. but with the old way you need to update the theme with every new build(framework) of the rom so since these roms are in constant change at this point i dont think many are spending time theming it. especially froyo.
Honestly I can't speak for everyone but I have to many projects going on and I don't want to release buggy roms to you guys. I have not stopped working but I would love to see 2.3 drop as it would be (hopefully) more stable in general as they had time to get the bugs out.
Look at it like this the more time we have to spend working on battery drivers the less time we have making good roms. LG did not tell even close to the truth as this was supposed to be a true google experience (MY ASS IT IS) so we already had to spend countless hours removing BS they left it from the O2X.
Anyways look for more stuff soon I am sure as currenlty I am working on my rom again and I know of other hidden stuff getting done. (sorry can't say what all it is yet)
Later.

i was gonna do a quick port of my rom for my own use but when i looked at the source code for g2x froyo-- it appears al they did was remove the instruction sets for the overlay of the o2x all that crud is in the framework and elsewhere and just seemed like to much hassle, so waiting for the gb and hopfully a more stable driverset and baseband.
or keep the life i actaully have now that was non existant for the 9 months i developed for the droid 1
maybe ill just leave it up to you

Personally I say the more the merrier as I really do care about the end users. I hope to see more people jump in even if it is only a rom modded by adding removing a few things as everyone has to start somewhere.
Anyone can use my rom as a base all I ask is some credit or atleast send me a pm.
And I will always try to answer any questions as long as I got the time
too true

more options are good.
my rom was called sourcery so it kinda had to be from source
i am not with the co0developer of that anymore so id have to comeup with another cool name. but still rather do from source than others base , but might use lg gb as a base if they release it.(hopefully without all the o2x crud) or let us make use of it 1 or the other.
but yeah all the initial launch build was is a o2x froyo themed rom.
have you played around with the animated pull down stuff. looks kinda cool and on the g2x it shouldnt hurt performance much. kinda something new.
I would love to see another rom made from source. I have been working on a 2.2 from source but not even close to being release ready as buggier then crap
Anyways I am sure the crack flashers would love another rom to try out
2.2.2

2.2.2 i think is not as stable as 2.2.1 i lost 200 on quandrant with it not sure why but from 2.2.1 same rom same mods.
Over all its ok. i released the 2.2.2 rom 3 days after the source was released. did a serious rebuild from scratch since i was about ready to release the 2.2.1
i remember i had a couple bugs i had to figure out that werent on 2.2.1 but i forget what they were .
you have any questions or need a little help drop me a pm.
ill help where i can.
this is a link to my rom since i think only people on verizon have ever heard of it

@tweezit I for one appreciate all the work you guys put into supporting this phone. I know it takes a lot of time and hard work. If seems some of us are impatient it's only because we are. Seriously, you are making a great device better and I thank you for it.
@Eagle1967 Just checked your Rom out and I would love to see a port...really slick stuff there...great app inclusions and love the blue/black theme.
I'm wading into this myself...been playing around with it but any kind of release is at least a couple month away...if ever. Really makes me appreciate what you guys do.
thanks

when i started i knew nothing. i started in august last year was late september before i actaully got my first build that completed and installed and ran and first release was on christmas so took a long time but i started with no knowlege of any of it. still not always sure what i do to make it work it just does
yeah it took 9 months of my life part of the reason i stopped(part ).. but it was fun and made me feel like i accomplished something. i cant believe how popular the rom still is since i havent really done anything with it since febuary but it was the first custom rom with froyo 2.2.2 and actually was for quite a while until some gave up on gingerbread and went back i think there is still only 1 other 2.2.2 rom for the droid though.
if you have any questions feel free to pm me. ill help you out if i can.
I have been looking at the fascinate forum and noticed they have a new Miui rom that has more functions closer to a fully functional rom than they ever have. I was hoping someone could port this to the mesmerize
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120371&page=1
Trust me, I've had my eye on Andmer's twitter since Friday when he started it. I've got a thing or two I need to do tonight, but hopefully I can get this ported tonight.
EDIT: There *will* be stuff broken with it; anything that's broken with the Fascinate ROM will be broken with any Mesmerize port. They're still working on it (Andmer and JT1134), so it's still listed as an alpha, but enough people clearly want it.

So i what all is there that you have to do to port over a rom?
As I understand it, very little. Edit some framework stuff and the build.prop to identify as a US Cellular/Mesmerize device rather than Verizon/Fascinate. That's largely cosmetic. Remove the SMS padding the Verizon does, and that's more or less it.
As I say, I should be able to get it tonight.

"Porting ROMs" and "Porting ROMs from the Fascinate" are two different animals. Porting from the Fascinate is pretty easy once you have the steps (at least as I understand it), but everything gets ported over pretty quickly so no one really bothers to post the steps for it.
Porting ROMs from other phones, on the other hand, is a much more complicated process, often involving editing the source code before compiling it into the ROM. There really isn't a straight-forward step-by-step process to follow.
That's really why no one's posted the instructions.
I could I suppose, but I've only poked at it once or twice. I generally know how to do it, but I suspect I'll still be having one of the experts check my work. Still, one more thing off their plates, and MIUI that much sooner for us.

Wow. I really hope you were attempting to be funny because this comes off as incredibly ungrateful. The guy is attempting to do this for FREE and on his own free time. If he actually has a life that happens to take him away from being able to port this then good for him. If you're in a huge hurry to get it, then feel free to do some research and port it yourself. Otherwise sit back, relax, and be happy when it does get released.

Excitement is perfectly fine and expected. Asking for ETA's and requesting something "really really soon" just comes off as impatient and like you are owed something. Not attacking you, just something to keep in mind.

LOL It's all good, Life has just been really busy lately----but trust me, I've wanted GB MIUI for about a month now. XD To be perfectly frank, I'm still a little bitter I got so little help with it, banged my head against it for a month, and Andmer comes in in a *weekend* and gets it going. XD But I'm not complaining, cuz, well, I get GB MIUI. XD It just tells me I need to learn JavaScript and C++ and start compiling from source.
Again, stuff *will* be broken (this won't be my normal daily ROM until GPS is fixed, I MUST have my GPS), but I know Andmer and JT1134 are working on it (since it benefits JT's latest CM7 build as well).
I have to agree about the GPS... This is good news though. CM7 and MIUI are "almost" there now. Been watching and waiting for months on the progress of those.
I have been patient and I think not long off now, we will all be playing with fully working MIUI and CM7 ROMS...
Keep at it guys, I am rooting for you... (groan... root)..
Just a quick update: I won't get this completed tonight, but I did get a chance to start it. I need to bug BDE for some pointers, and hopefully hear back from JT on a code question. Even so, because of the way it's flashed (and how one must switch ROMs if they decide they want to go back to a different one), it'll get tested on IRC first before it's posted on XDA.
I won't get a chance to work on it tomorrow night for sure, but I'm hoping sometime during the weekend at the latest. Patience comes to those who wait as they say.

Hey, with CM7 (the old non-MTD builds) Jt added some code to the rom so that all we'd have to do is remove one line from build.prop to fix the SMS padding issue (and copy in a few files from /lib/ and 1 from /bin/ on a working AOSP rom). I THINK he possibly did this for the new MTD build too, but I'm not sure, but if so we should be able to fix it up quick. If not, l3ttuc3 is the one who has manually removed the padding in the past, but i'm sure others could help out.

so what are these files that need to be transfered? i can transfer those files myself from one rom to another. And i can look up and see what line it is to remove the sms padding possibly. I also heard there was some things in the framework that had to be changed but idk why and idk how to mess with those yet :/
Hey guys.
I'm trying to gauge interest here as to what roms you're all most interested in so I can start getting in touch with some devs to see if I can talk them into porting.
What would be nice from all of us:
-Make a pledge to throw a few $ down. Doesn't have to be much, but anything you can spare will encourage devs to come on over.
-PATIENCE. Especially if the dev doing the port doesn't actually own an MT4GS, there's going to be a lot of back and forth between them and whoever is playing intermediary (I am more than happy to take this role, and of course any one else who wants to play guinea pig should let the dev know as well). XDA devs have other obligations in their lives and it's important to remember that before getting on their butts for taking a long time on updates, etc.
Let me know if there are any specific ROMs you'd like to see added to the poll. For now, I'm keeping it simple and broad, since a lot of specific roms are just different flavors of a base rom.
Poll is up. If you are someone who would be willing to donate to the effort, please state the amount so we can give devs something to get excited about!
I'm in for $20 to the first person who ports a custom rom to the MT4GS.
$10 for the first person who ports an AOSP rom or Cyanogenmod.
(that's $30 if the first rom ported is AOSP/CM. )
Let's get some excitement brewing!!! XDA has excellent developers, why not entice them to employ their knowledge and skills to make our experience with the MT4GS the best it can be?
Something like virtuous rom

Cyanogenmod is a basic, bare-bones version of android with some customizations:
http://cyanogenmod.com/
MIUI is an iphone-ish looking UI that runs really smooth and fast and a lot of people love it:
http://miuiandroid.com/
Virtuous Unity is my personal favorite and is a simplified version of sense 3.0 (what we have on the phone right now) with a customizable lockscreen and some other options that would make this phone WAY better:
http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/unity_23.html
The 2.1/3.0 hybrid is a little older version of sense with some tidbits added in from sense 3.0. Probably wouldn't make much "sense" on this phone (pun intended) since we have dual-core processors and already run sense 3.0 on the stock ROM...
Thanks unclespoon.
Given that summary, it looks like Virtuous is gonna be our best ROM if we wanna hold onto the camera app that came with the phone.
Honestly, I don't know much about it as my experiences in this department are limited to flavors of CM7, coming from the Nook Color as my first and only other android device.
I know when Cyanogenmod eventually gets ported to this device I'll be giving it a go and I registered over at CM forums to keep up with it.
I'm running low on play money with all I've put towards this device so far, but i'd be happy to toss a few bucks towards CM, and if Virtuous is what it seems it'll be like then them as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143177
You're right, it's the best solution for this phone, especially if we want to maintain the camera app. People can run ADW launcher or launcher pro if they want it to look and feel like AOSP, and with overclocking on this device it will run as fast as anyone could ever want it to.
Thanks for that - I was using the XDA premium app to respond while I was out, and somehow lost the last paragraph of what I said asking for the link and stating I was out testing gps stuff on the phone.
It's kinda hard using it sometimes, because it doesn't let me see what i'm responding to like typing on a real computer does while i'm working with a thread, but it's still far and away better then using the browsers on the phone to go through forums.
Sssooo.... According to what I read last night, KitKat is supposed to be able to be usable on pretty much all Android phones, all the way down to those with 512mb of RAM.
Any thoughts as to whether the Charge is gonna get some love with this (certainly, I know, NOT from Big Red)?

The only thing that will run on lower end devices is the new launcher and Google apps. The new ui is supposed to be included in the new launcher and make lower end devices feel and look more like newer ones.

The problem with an upgrade to any newer OS on the Charge is the radios. I don't see KitKat and an exception.:crying::crying:
Interesting how they had it where you could use Hangouts as your default SMS App with all the Emoji smileys on phones with Gingerbread including the Charge on the leaked version from the Nexus 5. It was fully working and I tried it. However, now that it's released to everybody through the Play Store, the SMS option is for Android 4.0 Only.
just got kitkat on my razr.... wish I knew how to port, b/c then I would attempt to port this great ROM over to the old Charge....
I'm interested in doing a CM11 build for the Charge or atleast a CM 10.2 build. I have a Galaxy S4 now but I would love to get some use out of the charge. I just want to turn it into a kickass media player since the RIL situation is never going to get solved. If anyone knows what is involved to make this happen it would help me greatly. I've never built CM before. I've read the CM developer wiki. A lot is over my head. I am trying to learn though

I'm interested in doing a CM11 build for the Charge or atleast a CM 10.2 build. I have a Galaxy S4 now but I would love to get some use out of the charge. I just want to turn it into a kickass media player since the RIL situation is never going to get solved. If anyone knows what is involved to make this happen it would help me greatly. I've never built CM before. I've read the CM developer wiki. A lot is over my head. I am trying to learn though

I think you're on the right track, though I think I'd stick with CM11 rather than CM10.2.
Well I am really interested in learning how to build. So I think I will run a few builds for the Fascinate and then see what I can do for the Charge. My programming experience is intermediate. I feel confident I can learn the process and at least get a semi functional kitkat build up and running and then maybe others could help work out the bugs

good luck brother... i'd be glad to test for ya.
some tips that you may/may not already know:
my understanding is that OS 4+ require EXT4 rather than RFS, so it might help to start with a kernel that allows this conversion. there are a few floating around that work.
someone (JT) has successfully (and I guess relatively easily) ported ICS and JB to the charge, the key aspects not working though were mobile data and camera.
I'm told the key road block is the RIL for the kernel in order to get those aspects functioning properly.
as for me, I'd be happy with just a working camera, as the Charge is used by my son as a WiFi-only media player/gaming device. he likes to take pictures/videos, so this is the only thing preventing me from converting it the latest JB port.
again, good luck, and let us know how the progress goes!
Well I just started a new job and am settling into that so time will be scarce for a bit. I wouldn't even know how to start with the RIL. I would definitely want to get the camera working provided I can even successfully build CM11. I want to make it clear that I am new to this so it is a big undertaking for me and I have a lot to learn. Once I get a build enviroment set up I will see if I can make some fascinate builds for practice since it is very similar to the charge. Then i will reach out to sbrissen or jt1134 and see if they can give me any pointers. I forked their code on github already.

As a previous owner of a droid charge, I honestly hope I can squeeze some use out of it as a media device.
I want to introduce myself. I am part of the Nebula team. We have decided the v10 offers us not only a great phone but a new challenge as well. We are currently looking at the the device tree to see what we can do to get some ROMs over here. You will see us posting more in the very near future. Until then cheers.
As requested the nebula team consists of:
Eliminater74 (aka the main man, the one who does the coding).
thewalkingdude(aka the P.R. guy, the one who does the talking).

So excited!!
Thank goodness.
I am sooooo thrilled to get that someone is finally going to Crack open the potential possibilities for roms with this phone. I took this phone over the note 4,note 5, 6 edge+. I will definitely keep my eyes and ears open. Thanks guys for reaching out to the v10 community.
Sweeeeet
Who do I bill for ruining my best pair of jeans upon seeing this thread? ?
So excited to have the Nebula crew with us. Let me be the first to say welcome! And please, as with every device, kindly disregard those that don't know how to read/search/comprehend that dirty flashing is the main culprit for telephonic STD's.

ROMs are not the main thing we do. We are known for our kernel. We took the g3 far past anything that was said to be possible.

I am use to people that don't read.
I have been hoping for some good kernal development since I got this phone!
Im ready to provide some $$ support ....... Im pretty sure there are guys that are interested in seeing speaker volume support as well as decrease in battery consumption. (well at least myself). But once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
We looked at many devices. This has a lot of potential. I was shocked no one has tapped it. Look at our g3 threads and see what we are about. Our g3 community will include this group as well. Feel free to check them out.
Need to get a working Device tree. The Current device tree is No good.. first the CPU's are listed wrong....
second the Offsets are listed wrong..
also no RIL config.. and policies are possibly wrong too, but im no expert in that field........
So in my eyes, The whole device tree is garbage.. You dont have cm13 because of that device tree..
The G3 is much older device then the V10 and we have Cm13 going long time ago...........
and the G4 is a slight upgrade over the G3, they have Cm13 going from what I hear......
then the v10 is a super G4.......... and doesnt have cm13............. The CM maintainer for the v10 and G4 are one in the same...
but he managed to get the RIL for the g4 but not the V10........................ but he tells me he copied the g4 device tree.. Which is possible. but he missed
many files.......... the G4 copied from the g3 anyhow.. and thats cool.. thats what he should have done..... but always check your work..
I even went on the CM wiki on porting a new device and followed it for getting the offsets from the boot.img.. and none match the ones in the current v10 device tree............
So another mistake there...............
Biggest thing issue here is device tree.. Till we get a working device tree.. you wont have any good roms.................
I originally came over here to build a kernel.. I didnt expect that I had to build a new device tree for everyone............
I build stand alone kernels. meaning I dont need a device tree to build my kernels............. But what good is a kernel if you all are riding on
a bad device tree and old aosp stock kernel.................
So now, I am gaining some knowledge on all msm8992 devices and their trees.. trying to compare them....
I went solly off the N5x which has the correct settings for the cpu's... I would take googles word over cm's anyday...............
Every single CM's msm8992 device tree I looked at, had the cpus wrong............... Only google seemed to have it right............
and before someone says, well google and our aosp are dif........ Ill answer that now,
Fist off the CPU;s will stay the same regardless of CAF/AOSP or whatever else you can toss up.. a MSM8992 is a MSM8992 regardless.............
only things that will be dif, is the caf related things.. other then that.. its 80% the same tree..............
I am going to be straight with you all.. I can see your all hungry for custom roms and kernels for this device.. This device is a great device.............. Nothing wrong with it at all..
I am a kernel dev not a rom dev.. I stopped the rom building long time ago....... But the one person that I know which could have everything fixed and up and running for you
is @aclegg2011, Only problem is.. he doesnt have the cash to get a V10, He has a G3 and N5 and N6 and N7.................. This dude is Official Maintainer for Bliss and RR for the G3..........
He knows his way around the building process like no other.. His build machine is capable of building a full rom in 15 mins..........
Hes known to have fixed many of the CM mistakes.................. But the only issue is this, Unless he gets a V10 Used/new or cash to get one..... IT just isnt going to happen..
I will do my best as I can.. and hes already told me some things.. but he cant dig deeper into it, unless he has the device............
Im not asking for anything...... but im giving you all options............. Its all up to you now..........

If you guys are willing to donate 60 so I can get the phone, I can jump on board and between me and eliminater74 we can get some good things going for you guys.
I'm up for that, happy right now with my V10 debloated and xposed framework running. How do I donate?

Im also trying to get Dorimanx on board too.. Hes a very well known coder.. I talked to him today.. hes really thinking about it.. The guy is like a God on the G2 Kernel Development.
but hes a really good coder..... Im trying to put together a well known team.. We are getting there.....
And just so people understand things, Nebula is my Team Project that I started 10 months ago...... @aclegg2011 Is in no way affiliated with Nebula. But we work very close together...
Hes more of a freelancer.. But he knows his stuff........ I am just trying to get things moving for the V10........ I didnt buy the phone to steer it at .... I want to bring over the custom roms
and kernels...............................
My only issue now is, I never worked with aarch64.. So thats going to be new too me.............
Once I get going.. it would be easy street from then on.........

Thanks for the donation. The phone is on it's way and I look forward to developing some roms for you guys. Im the official resurrection remix and bliss maintainer for the g3, and maybe I can bring you guys those roms and some others to the table!
Whoop whoop, cannae wait. I've tried both of those roms on the s5, can't really say which one is better tho'.

I'll donate when my paycheck hits. I am now very excited.
I will say he is a very good ROM builder. He knows his stuff. Glad to see him over here.
