Looking for some advice..

I can understand how frustrating this must be for people who read this forum and are around to provide help to those who are new but I have a pretty large question..
I recently got an Inspire and I want to put the stock Gingerbread ROM on my phone. I am simply looking for the form factor of the Inspire with the software of the Nexus S.
I have spent countless hours searching throughout these forums for even part of an answer to my question and have done absolutely nothing but confused myself further.. I have jailbroken my iPhone, used home brew on my Pre and constantly switched to leaked firmwares on my Blackberries but what is required to get into my Inspire (on the open software company mind you) is on the verge of impossible for someone such as myself.
As I understand walking me through this process would be very difficult I am simply looking for an answer to my question of, Is it possible to load Gingerbread onto the Inspire at this time?
Thanks to anyone for any help in advance!

Just CM7 for now...

Protip: Check out the Development threads. That's where all rooting/romming info is located.

You should check out this thread if you're looking for a CM7 ROM that more closely resembles the one on the Nexus S: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918639
Now there are official Release Candidates of CM7 available - great!
But there are several things I don't like about them: It's not "Nexus S Android", it uses ADW-Launcher instead of Launcher2, it doesn't have Nexus S Live-Wallpaper and there is a keyboard-bug, which still makes the keyboard a little too small.
Because of this I will now repack CyanogenMod 7 Releases to perfectly fit my own requirements. From time to time I will upload one, so that anyone who likes can also use them.
The aim of this ROM is to look and feel like the original Nexus S ROM, but offering the enhanced functionality of CyanogenMod 7.

[Q] Nexus Sense?

So I guess, we dun have Nexus Sense anymore?

well , i suppose we are using most original Android system , that's the point of Nexus series , which means we are having Android sense ,

The thread was deleted due to people demanding updates. I believe appenheimer said he would open a new thread when it was done. It will take time as he no longer has a team.
Sent from the future to put right what once went wrong.

has there been any news on this front?
I would love to see a working Sense ROM on Nexus S, especially since I just saw a thread in the NS4G forums where they have a working ROM just missing Camera, Wifi and GPS.
It would be awesome if someone had the skill to run with that ball and finish off that great idea.

Anyone looking into porting international One X roms??

I know, sounds like a complete noob question....
but seriously, I'm coming from an Inspire 4G/Desire HD, where roms were able to be used on like 10 devices.
Is anyone looking into getting ROM's ported to the One XL from the tegra 3 One X?? Seems like it would be an awesome way to get our (slowly moving) dev section going. I love what we have done, there just isn't much going yet.

damn...just realized i posted in accessories. Mods, please move to Q&A or General.

I believe the only major thing holding back development is S-Off, or at least that is taking higher priority than rom development. Kernel source being released would help as well but we have no idea when that is going to happen.

[Q] Nexus device custom ROMS?

Hi all,
Just wondering what the custom ROM development scene is like for Nexus devices?
Are they available or does it get less support as people prefer stock Android
I understand that N5 will not have many ROMS at the moment, but what are peoples's predictions?
I have a Galaxy S2 at the moment, considering an upgrade to N5, and just wanna know what the activity of the scene is like for nexus devices?

Loads to browse through on this site.

Welcome to xda Ben... basically, dev support is likely to be huge... probably far more than a person can keep up with

Sweet, that's what i was hoping for!
Thanks for your help

If the Nexus 5 is like the Nexus 7 or Galaxy Nexus development sections there will be a ton of roms. Unless there is some sort of encryption with bootloader or kernel that makes a root exploit hard to achieve. We already have custom recovery so that is a good sign.

[Q] Would another ROM be worth it?

So I have been with the Nexus 5 since it came out and I see there are a lot of Nexus 5 ROM's available already....my question is would it be worth it to make one more? because I am interested in making new ROM's again.

Sure why not if its stable, fast and battery friendly and maybe has some distinctive features that add value to the rom.

In a nexus forum? There's no such thing as too many ROMs. Build away!
