Building a ROM for the G2X?

I couldn't find any tutorials on creating a ROM for the G2X. I know it takes a lot of work, but I'm smarter than average. If someone has a link to a tutorial/thread, please post it. Thanks.

New phone and New to xda developers!!

hello everyone! Well I dumped my iphone and moved on the the android world! I picked up a samsung galaxy s 4g and rooted it and in love already! I would like to get familiar on how to load new roms (Gingerbread) but don't know where to start! Where can i learn about roms, how they work, how to load them, and how to root them! Can someone point me to the information? I need to educate myself to the beastly phone of mine!! Any info will be great! I want to know the a-z on everything possible I'm totally confused! Thanks

Read the galaxy s 4g bible in the development section of this forum. Everything and I mean everything is there.

sorry im a noob, im guessing its very hard

No...but I've already ported 5 i9000 Rome and captivate Roms...and bigfau has about the same if not more...look in the superthread...you will see them...and yes...porting is no picnic

You can choose any of them besides cm7 or miui and flash hellraiser directly after if I'm not mistaken

nothing hard about porting if you have the information but I'm sure it was no picnic for Linux bozo the first time. also if you want to run other roms not already ported then use the hellraiser mod and follow the flash instructions to the letter.
also why just i9000/ captivate roms. the vibrant has many good roms and I'm sure the sgs4g roms can also work considering we have even more in common with that phone than the regular galaxy s.

Actually it IS hard if you have never done it...that was my point.....it took me forever to get.my first port to boot...but when it does its like riding a bike after that....but anyway...just take your time and study....in non technical terms...open hellraiser and you'll see everything you need....SMDH!

I didn't mean it as a rebuttal to your post. its all relative. hard/not hard its all a matter of opinion and yeah I've banged my head over stuff that should be stupid easy. and porting the rom is not stupid easy so yeah it can be a headache.
for me app modding is hard, driver writing issues impossible, for my brother its all easy as long as he has documentation. he could easily run with the best xda devs if he had the interest, but he doesn't care much for phones.
for me interpreting blueprints and machining and programming cnc machines and welding aren't hard but to someone else what I do can look intimidating yet I can train anyone with some sense how to do any of those things in a short time.
but back to the op, if you are interested in releasing a rom port break everything down, see what goes into a cwm update package, then break down hellraiser but realize some of the tricks in that update script aren't needed for a onetime flash, there is a shell script that mods the build.prop, you can more easily pre mod the build.prop according to what that script would do and build it into the rom. but if you are just interested in the a certain rom for yourself then you can flash any gb rom for a GSM galaxy s and flash hellraiser back to back. do not reboot before you flash hellraiser that would be bad!

Just found this thread on the Hero forum and looked really cool to me so I thought I'd share. I hadn't seen it on here yet and I thought there might be a few miui fans who might be curious about it. No idea if it can be ported from the website, I'm still at work on my phone so I haven't even flashed it to my Hero. Just a wild idea Don't flame me
