Publicity for our phone

So lately I've been asking developers for specific main stream roms so far this is what I've got accomplished but anyone just remember devs are ppl too and don't be afraid to ask them for a rom if they are not busy and have access to the device most will gladly help out
Trying to find out if 3D Max roms are flashable for us - 6/19/2012 - completed (possible) used Acura 3dmax kernel and rom
Asked for Ubuntu - already works with background. Img and vnc - COMPLETED
Asked for miui - someone is currently working on this (WIP)
Asked for AOKP - they need the device
asked to get our picture up on the main cyanogenmod devices site - they said it will be up soon its on there Todo list - COMPLETED
Asked about CM9 - they have alpha port but awaiting certain drivers to ensure a clean smooth rom
Any other ideas you can ask around to the devs on here and different sites and see what you can get out of them lets see if we can make a great phone one of those that gets the attention it deserves

Yeah we also would like to have in our hands the omapflash for o3D.. many users have/had to send their phones to LG for boot repair. but the Gnex has a 7mb script that repairs the bootloader in 2 mins.. LG changes whole board
I thought I saw that on the boards the other day actually

Frankly speaking I am not impressed with ubuntu os. Everywhere just swiping here and there is ridiculous. Also most of the basic apps still dont work in it. We should wait for official release of ubuntu with major impressive imptovements. And most imp we have major issues with kernel 3.0 which has to be first solve for stable CM rom. Only then we should proceed with ubuntu.

Fast and easy? Yeah not gonna happen. You will have to learn to code in java and C+
Looking for an easy way out is gonna get you bricked.

Yes, as Zelendel said, there's no fast and easy way. Only slow and steady members wins the race. But if you want to tweak or theme your ROMs, try getting used with Android Kitchens, that would be a nearest bet for doing it the painless way.
If you are looking for building ROMs from source, then first of all read as many tutorials available, and then try doing it. You won't be 100% successful in the initial times, but you can improve gradually.
About Kernels, I pretty much didn't get you how to write your name in the boot! If you are talking about the boot splash image, it could be changed with dsixda's kitchen I believe.

If we could get first CM based on Cyanogen mode Kernel. We can get MIUI(Once KK MIUI released) and Ubuntu.
@b00tbu9 this week all will be done, @uberlaggydarwin (Brinly) will release fully functional CM .
But you know what, you can check his github for sources etc.
Find him on G+ , talk with him, and tell your plans , he might give what you want
