I have no experience, but i'd like to learn how to make my own custom rom.
Does anyone know what i'd need for a Thunderbolt GB rom?
I've looked into it and read about Kitchens and how you need them, but don't fully understand.
I'd like to know if the community could help me out here.
I could google it and I have, but I don't get any results that are specifically for the Thunderbolt.
Please go easy on me. :/
I can't answer your question so I apologize for taking a spot in your thread but I don't see any reason people would be rude/harsh towards you especially considering you posted in the proper section! Good luck and hope to see a ROM from you someday!

the phone model does not matter really and you wont find anything specific for the thunderbolt.
Install Linux right off the bat... Dealing with Windows and using environments are a PIA.
Download apktool, kitchen, gimp, and your base ROM whether it be the GB leak or MR2. Read up on how the system works, various editing techniques, and suck up all the info possible. It really is a learning process, not really something someone can tell you how to do.
That's what I did/do to learn.

You do realize too that some people, no matter how hard they may try, are just not cut out to this type of stuff?
I'm not saying you can't do this, but just be aware that the end result may not be what you want it to be.
Thank you Theory and Yareally! I'm good at researching, looking into things and learning
I just needed to know what exactly I needed to look up.

Ya, I remember back in my days in school when these people were in computer classes with me saying how cool it was to learn to program.
Half of them, while very bright, lacked a certain "ability" to grasp programming, shall we say.
Just Delete it already
You might be on to something. Rooting with our files the way they rooted with theres. Hope it works. If so we will see 1000 root threads soon

Sorry to be a troll, but this seems to me to be, by definition, development. Plus, it was a good idea and the OP had enough knowledge to participate in using it. God forbid anyone should post an idea that doesn't pan out...

Don't mind the haters, phican. It's a good idea, and if you have the time, I say go for it even if teamwin already has. Teamwin is amazing, but they're not gods. They could have missed something. The more eyes on, the better, I say. Good luck, and thanks for your work.

It has come to my attention that there has already been an S-OFF hack made for an eMMC compatible device, and it has mentioned that we could reverse engineer the hack and possibly use it to our advantage on the evo 3d.
While I have no experience in disassembling software, I do have a decent proficiency in packet sniffing. Maybe we can catch the communication from this exploit http //alpharev.nl/x/beta/ on its way out via usb to an Incredible to see just how its making magic.
My first step will be trying to intercept an adb shell session with my own devices and matching readable commands in the logs using wireshark.
Wire Shark has a nice little tutorial here: http //wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/USB
As most my experience happens to deal with ethernet packets, Im not sure just what to expect once Im able to capture packets from USB, so I might need help finding a way to make the output understandable.
It is in my belief this route has yet to be explored, so this is my attempt of trying something new with a sploit for another phone.
Later this evening Ill be setting up a lab, cant wait to see what I find.
If anyone has any insight to sniffing usb, perhaps we can exchange ideas.

Short answer, Nope.
Longer answer...it can aid in the porting of cm7, but it won't be a direct, instant, no problem port. It will move some files for you, but you must also know which files to remove, edit, tweak, etc. before you could even begin porting it
I'm thinking a fresh new build is most likely the best option for CM. You'll have to be patient like the rest and give them time.There's a lot of time, work and testing envolved either way.
You got an answer from myn so that should keep this thread short and sweet. OP you can always go to the CM dev team and watch for any info they share.
thanks to both of you....anyone wanna teach me how to port lol

Hello Fellow XDA'ers
Let me start by saying that I am by no means a dev. I have taken it upon myself to learn how to theme. This will take me some time as I am just learning, am working 1 full time job and 2 part time jobs and I also have a 2 year old at home. So please do not ask for ETA's. I will try to release themes in stages. Please look at the poll attached to this thread as it will help me decide what colors to start with. Also iff you have any apps you would like to see themed please leave a comment in this thread of that app you would like to see themed. FYI first theme I will come up with will be bluish in color as blue is my favorite color After that I will start with the #1 color in the post poll and work my way down the list.
I am currently running alien ROM on my phone so I will be using that ROM as a base. If anyone would like to help please let me know. REally need someone who is great at photoshop or GIMP. Also will need tester's also.
Thank you in advance. I will help test...might want to look at homebase 2.1 with 4.2 update as the base it has been really stable for me..
THIS is the way the dev forum should be. "I don't see what I want so I'm gonna make it myself!" instead of whining that less than ten people are working on useless 'upgrades.'
I'm more than competent in Photoshop and I'd be willing to test for you. I'm also familiar with the Android system having messed up a few for myself. I like blue as well.
Good deal. I'll help you test it out.

Even though Alien is nice, it's a few updates behind and dead (most likely forever). Might I suggest Yay's 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM Deodex. Either way I'll be happy to test.

Okay, everyone who has Linux and has the experience with it let's get working on this.
Motorola has apparently released the sourcecode for the DX2. It's called the Motorola OSMC on sourceforge.
Here is the link: Motorola OSMC for the Droid X2
Get your environments set up and start poking around. If you need help setting up your development environment, ask. I don't have access to my personal laptop from work, so I can't help you during the day, but over this coming weekend (31MAR2012-01APR2012) I will edit this post with an update on setting up your development environment. It will be a generic setup as I run Fedora 16 and your Linux flavor will probably be different. You should be familiar with git, yum/apt-get, eclipse (possibly), bash & shell scripting, and compiling from source.
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS and will take time!
Please keep this thread clean for development use. Once we have something concrete, I will start a new thread for testing. Thank you all for your cooperation and assistance!
Ciao!
Setting up your Android repo for use and build environment. (LINUX ONLY!)
1. Go to the Motorola OSMC and click the Downloads link.
2. Click the Droidx2_VZW link.
3. Click the DTN_150.30 link.
4. Read the README.txt file and go to http://source.android.com/source/download.html to set up your repo (don't forget to download the files as well as outlined here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html.
5. Follow the directions exactly. For various Linux distributions, your commands will be different than what is listed in the HowTo on SourceForge.
Please note that this is in no way designed to be a tutorial. This is for developers only. Please do not ask questions if you don't know what you are doing. (Sorry to be a PITA, but I don't have time to answer questions that you should already know the answers to.) Also, please note that I am using Fedora 16 as my Linux distro, the SourceForge HowTo uses Ubuntu and Mac OSX.
(I will update this as I find information that is relevant to this process and kexec.)
Ciao! For now.
Reserverd number II for future use!

There will not really be any testing for "users" to actually do... This will require pretty in-depth knowledge of Linux/Android.
This is an attempt at getting the DX2 to boot a different kernel. Once we can get that kernel booting and stable, then it will be up to others, to build the ROMs. A custom kernel will allow the DX2 to be overclocked, run ICS (with the correct kernel, version 3.0+), and other fantastic things. So, don't expect anything spectacular out of this, even if it does work.
I don't mean to sound negative, however, I also don't want to get anyone's hopes up that I can work wonders. It will be up to others to take this farther, IF we can get it working.
As I stated in the OP, let me get a viable platform working and we will see where it goes from there.
Ciao!
