get a rogers rom base, i am glad to be a customer with rogers because ATT lock you guys up with no nfc, locked radio and no tethering...rogers gives us tethering for any data plan, and they NEVER throttle us

Does anyone know if that's possible? To get a Roger based rom on the skyrocket?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App

Yes there are couple of rogers based rom in development forum. for ex TPC V3 is good. Just go search around in Dev Forum and you will find rogers based roms.

If you care about using the LG Camera that's been ported over from 2.2, and want to stick with an OTA "official" 2.3 GB ROM, then I'd do WeaponG2x 3.0rc1.

[INFO] Why we don't have ICS yet + more info about it

Hi, I have noticed a ton of people curious about why AT&T people do not have ICS yet, so I thought I would answer that once and for all. I admit that I and others have gotten a little mad whenever people ask about this, but it seems they are not able to really find a clear answer, so here it is.
If you feel like this is well done, please sticky it at least until we get it all figured out.
I figure this would be best said i a Q and A type form.
Q: What is ICS, and why does everyone want it so bad?
ICS or "Ice Cream Sandwich" is android version 4.0.x. the next version, 4.1 Jellybean was just released as a slightly less important update, but ICS brought huge changes from Ginger Bread (2.3.x) the previous phone version (3.x HoneyComb was tablet only). ICS brings a slicker, darker, and better looking user interface, as well as many performance enhancements. Most of us want it more because it seems like we should than because it is actually that much better. That said it is still a great update, and most people will be happy to see it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: Why is it so hard to get ICS for our phone, while others have it even though it is not officially out?
The main reason is our locked bootloader. That means it is not possible to flash or boot a custom kernel unless it is signed with Motorola's key. That is obviously impossible.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: What is a kernel?
the kernel is a major part of any operating system. you can think of it as a sort of layer between hardware and software. It is the part of an OS that communicates directly with a device's hardware. Android is based off the open source Linux kernel, meaning it is free for anybody to build and modify. However, Motorola has only released the source for the ME865, and partially for the MB865, meaning we can't really build a kernel anyways. Then of course, even if we could build one, we wouldn't be able to boot it with our locked bootloader.
ICS is not really complete without the newer kernel that goes with it
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is Kexec, and is there any way to unlock the bootloader
The fact that I grouped these together would probably lead you to correctly believe they are related. Lets start with the second half. Simply put, NO. I hate to say it, but there is very little hope of EVER unlocking our bootloader, unless Motorola decides to do something like HTC did and allow unlocking.
Kexec is a method of hot switching kernels while still booted. It is actually just a linux tool that you can use on a computer, but it has been built for android essentially allowing you to bypass the bootloader. Theoretically it would be an easy way to run custom kernels. Then why don't we? Well a few reasons. One, we can't really get one built to begin with, especially because, at least to my knowledge, jimbridgman is the only one who actually knows what he is doing with kernel building, and he is only half here now that he got his fany new SGS3. Two, it does not work great. I am not sure the latest version is working at all on our phone, and even if it did, only one processor comes up, meaning it is really slow.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Q: What's the deal with these Droid 3 builds that supposedly boot?
Some people managed to build ICS for the droid 3 based of a 2.3.6 kernel. that means you can boot it on a stock GB kernel, and therefore you do not need to unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately that means it is not totally ICS, but it is still pretty good. Of course they are for a cdma phone, so that means no data, no calls, and no gps, making it kind of useless.
I am not going to give a link to them, but if you are really interested go search around. any of the Droid 3 AOKP and CM9 builds will boot just fine. Find more info in the dev section, but please don't start a thread asking about it.
We have been trying to port these to work for us, but that is proving more difficult than expected, and with ICS just around the corner, I don't want to put time into it. I do think it is possible, and if you are a dev looking to give it a shot, PM me and I will tell you all I know, and try to help out as much as I can.

Just one thing to inform about your last question's ans.. DROID 3'S ROMS DONT WORK ON OUR PHONE. IT WILL BOOTLOOP. SO DO NOT TRY FLASHING THEIR AOKP OR CM.. without backups and sufficient knowledge and experience atleast.. some changes have to be made in the rom before flashing.. i am trying to find all the files we must replace to get them working on our phone.. and just a FYI for those of you that wanna try.. other than droid 3, bionic is our nearest relative.. so u can edit and try their roms as well.. i did kinda get cm9 of bionic after replacing some required files.. but it bootlooped.. and of course bionic is cdma.. so.. good luck..

Please I emplore you to do your proper research before making incorrect posts like this. I constantly see posts from those who think they know it all, and post idiotic things like this. Nothing makes me madder than someone who does not know how to use google and the search function.
It takes less than 2 min. to make sure you CYA before posting bad information.
Both CM9 and AOKP boot, but with no radio, as has already been said in several posts now. I have tested both.
P.S. most of us devs in here have been working on this very thing for sometime now, and I have not seen you jump in on any of threads discussing the files or how to port or anything.

Agreed, They actually run extremely well, but obviously I can't stick with them with no radio.
P.S. this is my new best thought for porting, might take some extra build.prop work too. It did not boot for me, but I think we should be able to get it to. Then it is just a question of whether or not the radio will work. there is way more in build.prop on that than I would think.

I think it may work because it really adds the cm9 stuff to our own files rather than add our files to it. maybe not the cleanest way, but it might just work.

I have tried this method along with every idea that popped in my head of things to alter after following this guide. I have a highly modified build prop that AOKP boots with that I replaced with a lot of our build prop but there are still some things missing as no luck yet

how many CM10 or jelly bean threads is there going to be

the dev section has turned in to a nightmare ... 4 threads on the Jelly bean ... i think they are all all the same thing lol

while i am grateful for the work the devs put into the roms, it does seem a bit unnecessary for multiple threads with what appears to be the same rom.

for me wifi was working perfectly, i just moved back to remics 1.3.1, but try a reflash dont forget to data wipe and format system, and you have to flash everything in proper order, i was using sliceruks v4 port so for that you have to flash rom, kernel, addons, superuser, and then fix the permissions in recovery

Good news is, the two porter, sliceruk and monfro is now both working with one thread. The best team up so far, so well be updated to CM10 Alpha releases. :victory:

This problem only makes it harder for people who are looking for a good JB rom to find one. I really don't want to try them all, just give us the best one and stop posting the same thing over and over again.

as many as needs to be! info is appreciated. im just outside the noob phase and i can tell you the feedback is VERY helpful.

Old Good Roms

I'm trying to find some of the old good ROMs and all links seem to be down. Namely I was hoping to find TDJ's darkside sense, faux123's orangeglacier, and any of the gingerbread sense ROMs that were stable. I went back to Royal Ginger a while back and while I love it for the most part, but the camera feels like it uses about 20 pixels to create an image.
Does anyone have these stashed away that could maybe upload them to a file sharing site for me?
I would greatly appreciate it.

Orical might have them. PM him. Also, you might try Insert Coin. It's a pretty good GB Sense ROM. I never had a single issue with it.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
