sounds like he wants to try and learn how to develop rom's, with no experience in development. but he's wanting to build a rom for the g2x that incorporates sense3.0? that's what i interpreted.
So someone needs to go to the book store,library, or Google and start reading on Linux, java (more app based from what i read), and other books on code that's used in mobile development
correct me if I'm wrong anywhere in this response.

That's exactly what I am talking about... How many times have you written something like that after someone responds to your posts? I get that you want to do a sense rom for the g2x... It also seems like you want to use others work(and give them credit, of course). Hop on to amazon or head to your local bookstore, there are whole sections about android development...

Expert developers are EXTREMELY challenged to port over platforms from other brands. To think that your going to do it with no experience is never gonna happen. Start easy, download CM source code, try to modify things, and maybe in a few months you can put something out for us. If making a rom was that easy, we would all do it.

Were do I start!!!!

get a book and read.
start with learning JAVA (this is if you have no programming experience)
once your familiar with JAVA and feel comfortable reading JAVA code and writting in JAVA.
then go get a book on ANDROID Development. I found a great book to learn about android development called " Hello Android", by the first 15 pages i had already made a somewhat complete Sudoku app, not out of interest but as this was the lesson in the book i was on.
No one can help you until you want to help your self, not trying to be a dbag but sounds like your wanting someone to walk you through step by step and through previous experience trying to verbally or explain to someone through text on to do something as complex as coding with them having little or no knowledge on the fundamentals and basics is/will be very difficult and frustrating for you and the person trying to guide you.
ps... might not hurt if you learn how to read/write/understand linux as android is based ontop of linux from my understanding

Its because not too many people purchased this device since it is pretty much a vibrant with 4g and because of all of the new phones such as the g2x and galaxy s2 which are taking even more people away from this phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I think we will eventually get some love. There are a LOT of sgs4g phones out there--and with a few tweaks this is a great phone.
Our problem is not many (there are a couple) established developers have this phone. The recent wave of new phones--like the g2x--have stolen alot of the thunder since some of these are easier to develop for and the latest darlings of the CM crews.
The other, and maybe main, issue we have is a very quirky architecture that is really alot different than the vibrant--or else we would probably be benefitting from all of the development on that phone already. This is sort of on hold though until we get a final version of CWM.
This is our biggest roadblock right now. Krylon and drhonk are working on it (they both rock and my hat is off to them for their work on this!)--but they both have other projects for other phones that are keeping them really busy.
I wish there was some way we could help them out. But the issues with it are highly technical and out of reach for most of us at this time. Hopefully some new and fledgling devs will step up in the near future.
After we have a working cwm and rom manager I have hopes for some nice vibrant ports, nice themes, and original development. This might take some time to sort out and in the meantime I am studying edify scripting and learning what I can. ;-)

"X" files, LITERALLY! About 20+ ghost files

They number more than 20 and their name and extension are squares or symbols as if looking at a document with the wrong encoding. Don't know when they got there but they all belong to system and have creation dates like 1970 and 1994.
Anyone else?

please provide more information. are you stock out of the box, flashed a rom, did any mods, clicked on a suspicious link either on the web or FB? Kinda hard to help you out with out more information.
in general, I have not heard of anything like this. BUT, if my thoughts serve me right, it sounds like your phone has been compromised.

This reminds me of many many years ago while working for a call center. Stupid user calls and gives you the worst description possible. Then you wind up having to write a thesis in order to get the information you need because they can't even describe the issue. At least they weren't trying to make changes to the system, they were just using it b/c they were smart enough not to try and modify something they know jack about.

There is no eta. There is a project underway being led by Krylon360 so I have no doubt it will be available eventually.
I don't mean to be a d*ck but it is considered bad form to ask for etas from independent development. They mostly do this stuff out of love for the work usually in their spare time. If they have an eta for a project they will post it with updates. If they don't, that means there isn't one. Fyi.

Cm is no safer than any other rom in development stages. And yes, it is bad form to ask how long for anything. You need to understand that we devs and modders do this from the kindness of our hearts and for experience. This is the kind of question that pisses a dev off.

[Q] ROM Development.

I am interested in becoming a ROM Developer for Infuse 4G. I have little(very little) coding experience, But tend to learn fast and grasp concepts easily. Since I'm completely new to all this, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a "How to get started" type of guide with all the necessary development tools I will need. If you could help out I'd be grateful, and I hope to soon contribute to the XDA community. Thank you.
I too am interested as far as i know you need to know java, be familiar with linux and i think C++...but id like to know for sure what is needed
My brother is learning java in college and offered his java book to help me learn-as soon as i get that im gonna begin teaching my self java with a few tips here and there from him but mostly teach myself because thats the way i learn best
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
Im up for it too...
i di some porting fot the Captivate and im sure i can take on the Infuse
I'm so pumped to start work on a custom ROM, I love my Infuse 4G would be so much sweeter to learn even more about it too, And to actually see what these guys go through to bring us the latest ROMs and stuff.

Ohhh...i can only imagine how hard it is to learn, and then to actually put out a rom after that. Trust me i dont plan on building one anytime soon, this is gonna be more of a slow on going learning process for me...im only 17 so i got time
But your how to thread should help a little bit at least with getting an idea of what the system files look like and the time it takes to edit them.
Dman do you think you can just let me know what i will need to know to make a rom that way i can tackle one thing at a time at my own pace
I know for sure i need to know java, but im only assuming i need to know the following: linux, adb, c++ is that all or am i missing anything?
Other than listing what i need to know, you dont need to help me because i doubt id have the time to keep up with your teachings

Well, the key to learn about everything in the world is to be curious about it. As I've always said, I just do all this things because one day I was curious about it and though "why not giving it a try?" and that is how things start on my life.
Also, I don't think it is good to just stuck to one thing and only work on that since when you are working on something but you feel you cannot get forward by yourself, why stuck there instead of trying something new and maybe learn something new which maybe you could use to fix the first problem? If you don't move on, you'll get frustrated and only then is when you'll abandon the project (does this sound familiar to you? )
Curiosity is the engine of the world guys! If you are curious about something, why not try to make it yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you?
