I'm thinking about starting developing ROMs for our beloved G2x.. Actually, porting, since I can already manipulate a Stock G2x ROM and what not.
But in my case, I'm going to focus on porting over ROMs from mainly the Optimus 2x and the Atrix 4G (Motoblur).
Optimus 2x
It shouldn't be too hard to port over a Optimus 2x ROM simply because the two phones are almost exactly the same. I read a thread that said as long as we don't flash a Optimus baseband, we should be fine. I'm I wrong in that mentality?
Atrix 4G (Motoblur)
I'm thinking about using a Atrix 4G ROM as a base for a Motoblur port (I know it can be done since it's been done on the Nexus One and myTouch 4G). Since both phones have a Tegra 2 processor, it shouldnt be as difficult as porting from OMAP to Snapdragon but it will be very difficult overall.
I'm looking for input and pointers from Devs and stuff before I start officially working on it tomorrow. I will be posting periodical updates depending on my progress and what not.
If I'm not mistaken, this phone should be nearly impossible to brick unless I flash the wrong radio/baseband right? I know my old myTouch 4G had that rule. And I flashed the hell out of it with my test ROMs (even though I never officially released any) and it never bricked. I hope that's the case with the G2x. We shall find out soon enough though!
I will make a new thread on each ROM after I can get it to boot.
Updates
Ahh, finally everything is back in order. I ended up losing my previous progress which wasn't a lot, but was a good start.
It seems like 11.04 doesn't play well with Virtual box additions which are very important to me. Time to try 10.04!
My Ubuntu installation somehow isn't booting. And I'm taking this weekend off starting tomorrow to go camping. I'll try to get it up and running and work a few hours until midnight. Then continue on Monday.
Many thanks in advance, looking forward to the ROMs.
u will find the optimus 2x rom slightly annoying. getting it booting is easy though...more than easy
Why do you say that?

As far as I can remember, the reason it doesn't work isn't just the baseband, but also that it has different partitions. I think that's why there's a thread on how to restore the partitions on a bricked
G2x.

not to be a ninja but I've read other threads were people were asking about porting over sense roms and alot of jags/tough guys were getting mad so same here applies to you if you want a moto blur or atrix rom buy that phone have a nice day
I will buy you a beer if you can get the gingerbread motoblur running on our G2x's...
Would love it actually no matter what anyone here says
Maybe you misread my post.
I'm actually gonna try to port it over. I wasn't asking.
I was actually just asking for any input that could help towards the development.
So please, if your gonna be negative, just keep it to yourself. I don't want this thread to get off topic.

Well, first off, I am jellette/Heathen of the Einherjar Dev Team. You will find us mainly in the Samsung sections.
Link to just my releases: HERE
It looks like I will be most likely making the move to the MT4G today as my SGS Vibrant is suffering its second wasted usb port.
I don't have much non-touchwiz experience but I didn't have any TW experience when I started so I don't see it as too much of a problem.
I haven't had a chance to scan through the MT4G forum yet to see the state of development but I would imagine you already have some Kick A$$ devs over here. I will spend the next few days familiarizing myself with the phone, its rooting methods, types of roms and mods available, etc. Then I will dig in.
If there are dev specific requests, please post them here.
I will begin with porting our already available roms and mods: HERE
I'm not, and couldn't even if I wanted to, leaving EDT - we will just be expanding our development to HTC devices.
I suppose that's about it for now!

It's works pretty well for it's early stage. I have it on a Captivate now and it does have some functionality. No camera, GPS seems borked, but 3G and WiFi do function. Things are looking up folks. We may actually see some Ice Cream on our phones! The Movie Studio doesn't work (for me at least, not sure about others), but it's a welcome feature once fixed. Something Android has been missing since the start. This could prolly be Hellraised, but I'd wait until more kinks are worked out. It's very Alpha at this point.
If all these other phones are getting ics ported b4 us then hope might as well be lost We don't have as much dev interest as all these other phones do.

Well, if we wait for the cappy or i9000 to get it first, basicly our infuses is the same device, just bigger and a tiny bit different. Then linux could probably port it pretty easily.
Wow!
That was fast. Infuse Kids....I think we're gonna see ICS before AT&T blesses GB!
And that would be a shame. I'm very excited. I'd love to try this out on my wife's Cappy for a spin. Will a nandroid backup successfully restore the custom GB Rom she's rocking now if I flash ICS?
WTF my old phone gets ICS before my current newer phone. I hope we get something soon.

Yeah, I'm close to getting something running I think, but I'm not working on it again until Monday, sorry. I don't have a Linux dev system set up at home to work on it with, so I stick to working on it at work and I'm out until Monday.
Believe you me, ICS is worth the wait. I have it running on my Captivate.
I'm just wondering if there are any devs working on this. I know there were a couple working on it, but what happened? Did it get discontinued? Thanks guys
Yes, people are working on it. In the meantime, be thankful for what we do have instead of whining about what we don't. That's the reason for the season.
Yeahh, i'm definitely whining. Sorry for asking questions, maybe my post shoulda gone in the Q&A section.. oh wait.
Well, the title of the thread said it all. I didn't mean to sound like an ass, it's just that we have great devs putting out great work right now, and still people are unhappy. Anyway, yes people are working on it and it has not been discontinued as far as I know.
Just move on to a new phone. That's what I did. Sgs4g will never have CM.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It will. It just takes time- things have to be done first before CM will magically be officially supported. A working kernel, which is in the works, has to be done first.
It really takes time. No one ever thought that the Droid 2, X (though nightly's) or the Motorola Cliq (worst phone ever built) would see a Cyanogen build. As far as if anyone is working on it though... thats kinda an unknown. Krylon360 had a thread over on rootswiki about it, but there hasn't been a real update on status... he is a busy person with other priorities quite frankly, namely work, something I am sure we can all relate to.
Once the kernel is finished, it will happen. Truth be told, you are not missing much though. I had a Nexus One for a year, and quite frankly, Valhalla is a much more stable rom. Cyanogen's updates slowed down massively (people got jobs), and in comparison, individuals that develop here are for more committed and update much more frequently. The best thing you can do is attempt to learn how to do these things yourself, donate to the individuals that do, or be willing to subject your phone to the most horrendous of builds in order for everyone else to get a better build.
P.S. These 'buy a new phone' comments get really old. That's exactly what a company like Motorola or Samsung would want- for us to buy a new phone to get an upgrade. The Galaxy S 4g is an amazing phone, I personally see no reason to buy any other phone on the market. Android is supposed to be open-source and modified, we can't do that by simply walking away.
Everyone has their own tastes. The N1 has really old hardware compared to sgs4g. Google pushed the GB update to them, but it didn't really make much of a difference. So cyanogen had to make an official for them. Also, when we get CM7, we will like it more than usual because people who get things all the time don't appreciate. We waited so long, that it will be beautiful.
So the CM7 for Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't work on the Epic 4g Touch?
I'll keep saying this. You want a dev to work on something, show him some appreciation by sending him a few bucks so he can get a coffee for all those hours spent coding. Trust me, I've gotten donations before and it's a great motivator to get stuff out to people
Personally I'm glad there's no cm7 for the sgs4g. I don't like it and it seems like whenever cm7 hits a phone everyone stops making cool roms and starts basing everything off it. If we had cm7 we might of never got octane!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I feel the frustration that the devs have to put up with in figuring out what Samsung will not tell us. They instead announce they will not support existing Galaxy S phones because there is not enough memory to run touch wiz and ICS. Well, my opinion to that is, provide an API to existing proprietary drivers so the code can be tailored accordingly.
Releasing the source is a plus, but the hidden stuff is what stalls development.

I know that making a rom takes a very long time but our device seems to only have 5-10 (maybe more) good/stable roms. every one else seems to be getting a lot more love. is it cause we have a miSense device?
Just because we don't have 30 CM9 roms with each a different name doesn't mean we don't have roms. It means we respect each others work and choose not to duplicate it and call it our own.

This. I honestly don't think we're lacking in types of rom that we have.
I mean, we have stock-tweaked, aosp, sense roms, CM roms, different versions of MIUI's. Hell, we even have JB in the making!
So, yes, they're still alive and making roms.
Well, the reason I don't complain is because I can't dev. There's just no time for it. Yeah I get jealous of other forums from time to time, but the alternative is learning how to make my own rom.
Better not to bite the hand that feeds you.
I personally think we have a group of great devs for this device who are very willing to share each others' work to benefit the community at large I am curious as to what TBalden has going right now cuz he's been awfully quiet lately.

I actually used to think the same thing until I paid the f*** attention. Now that I pay the f*** attention, I see there is quite a bit of development...

Where better than most fourms right now. Some newer devices are all on stock based roms. Atleast we have CM9, and MIUI. Virtuoius, and tons of sense.

really?
I dont say much around here...but man oh man, i have to this time. First of all, a huge thanks to all the devs. I'd go by name but someone deserving would be left out...we may be short on kangs but we've got great roms. I'll take quality over quantity.
I had an ace previously. Dozens and dozens of roms, but they've just repeated themselves. There's only a handful of systems to be ported anyways.
Kernel development on this phone has been off the chains. Anything running on tbalden and kornyone's work has been smooth and slick.
Frankly, I knew when I got the phone that since sliders are kind of niche the scene would be smaller. Used the demo phone in the store to verify that cm was in a complete state. Which it most definitely is. Feeling pretty confidant that cm10/jb will reach completion.
Anyways, I'm probably gonna cry when this phone dies. Maybe you can sell me yours for a spare. Cuz if I ever have to turn mine in on insurance they'll probably try to hand me a different model.
Oh God, not this crap again...

It seems like a weekly occurrence around here. The "weekly whiner" is a good name for them. I like it! Let's make them wear a virtual dunce cap for a week as punishment lol! Embarrassment might break this annoying cycle
If its so annoying don't comment. It's just a simple question. Why people always get mad at certain stuff if u get that mad or annoyed don't bother with posting. It's not that hard. Plus I just wanted to know a simple answer to a simple question.

I'm not being smart when I say this so do not take offense. I already know that I'm waiting for it to not have so many bugs. But thanks again

It isn't anger you detect as much as it is frustration K7. What is plainly obvious to developers & other coders isn't so much to the rest of us just looking at the threads & available ROMs. I HAVE noticed though because of helping a friend out with an EVO 4G that many of the ROMs are little more than a redistributed but newly themed, customized & slightly altered versions of another popular ROM. Do that several times and you have 5 ROMs with little differences to the core program multiplied across 5 or 6 basic initial formats & you have plenty....kinda. If that was what was happening to the MT4Gs then we'd have 40+ ROMs 'listed' but few differences other than the new name.
This isn't meant to disparage any developers in other forums for other devices and it may very well be an isolated case but it is something I noticed.
Just my nickel's worth.....
I just don't understand the need to create new threads for topics that aren't new, insightful, or helpful

40 half baked shlt roms, or a couple rock solid good ones?
you decide.
Also, it's good to mention that not every ROM for this device is at XDA.

Ok so where all the couple rock solid ones? The closest I've found is virtuous inquisition and even that has been giving me all kinds of issues lately. I don't want more ROMS necessarily, just one, vanilla, zero issues rom and id stick with this phone the rest of the year.
