Okay so after partially pestering these forums, The "Hear the Echo" community managed to root the Kyocera Echo (THANK GOD) thanks to Revolutionary's zergRush! Now we have another set of steps that we need to do in order to fully bring this phone up to par. We need:
1. Someone to help us map out the keys to our recovery image (or just build us one if you know how, please and thank you )
-One of HTE's greatest members Saridnour (also a member of XDA) has put all he has into the site, from trying his hardest at porting a recovery image (or building one, I dont quite know), to simplifying zergRush's rooting script by building a program that did the rooting for us! HTE owes him a debt of gratitude, and if you would like to donate to him, please do so at the HTE site here. The Donate button is in his signature! But on to what we need, we need someone to map out the recovery keys! He has the Recovery image built, but it will only boot from fastboot and he cannot navigate to the various options because the key mapping isnt right. Does anyone have an answer to this?
2. Porting Sense to Gingerbread
-everyone loves the HTC sense UI (3.0+), and I was wondering how would I go about porting that to the 2.3.4 GB Echo. Better yet, is it even possible? I would like to have the UI down packed, plus, if possible, port the New Beats Audio to it, I think that it is really awesome!
3. Building CM7
-How would I go about building a CM7.1 nightly for the phone?
4. Building MIUI
-This phone has 1 GB Ram and 1 GB Rom, I know that it is more than capable of RUNNING MIUI, but can I build it, or is MIUI the only one that can build it for us?
5. Building a Custom Kernel
-This phone's battery is horrible, how can I build a kernel that will give it better battery life?
Please know that this phone is now rooted, so ALL of this is possible, we are seriously in need of some help, it is a lot of talent on the site, we just need some help being pointed in the right direction. Please and thank you for all your comments in advance.
Thanks,

Suggested Thread Idea(Sorry if in wrong section), if devs do not want this, could a mod please delete this? Thanks!
This thread is meant to relieve the load on devs and provide a source of ideas for them. No offense to devs, I'm not insulting your capabilities. Besides, I hardly know any programming.
Anyway, I'm thinking of collecting suggestions from the many people who make up this X10 mini developing community. I'm sure all of us would want to help as this benefits everyone. Also, some of us here have knowledge of Linux Kernel programming(although not in android) and could help. No questions are to be posted.
Here is an example of the format needed -
Kernel Unlocking - Fool the bootloader! <- This is the title.
Concept: Instead of trying to deactivate or skip the locked bootloader, is it possible to actually fool the bootloader into thinking the one you are trying to load is legitimate? Perhaps by imitating the properties of the kernel that the bootloader looks for, we could load a custom kernel onto the phone.
So, a question to devs - would you rather want or not want this? Thanks!

Oh, I see. Nevermind, thanks a lot!
I have looked everywhere for the file. I cant us the Xutility tool as i ma on ubuntu. my emulater wont run so thats out of the question.
I really need a stock deodexed 4.1.26 rom so that I can mod and them it to my liking.
is there anyone out there with a cwm flashable zip or a completely wiped recovery backup that i may use to install on my atrix and do my theming and modding on?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Ok.........Bump......bump...
I am not trying to be rude by anymeans when i make this statement, however i am finding the atrix community to not be very helpful. my previous devices communities are so much more tight knit and more than willing to respond to even the dumbest question and to help all members out no matter what.
Since i have been a member of this community i have gotten very little assistance with things that i thought would be simple to answer and give feedback on that i am really actually disgusted.
I am not interested in changing to a custom rom as i havent found one that i like and really just want to theme and mode my stock 4.1.26.... can someone give me a hand in this or did i just happen to get the wrong device and join the wrong communtity?
I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum, but i'm posting here because i think i am in the right place.. If not mods please move this to appropriate forum..
So I'm on the nexus s 4g and i'm feeling like i'm ready to get into porting and then development.. I really just need help understanding eclipse and how to port in general.. I know eclipse is great for developement and I just installed the adt and the sdks through eclipse and I need to know how to set this up so I can run a logcat through adb so I can see why my port isn't fully booting.. I'm stuck at the boot animation.. I've tried reading some guides but because i'm still a noob i feel like there's always something i'm missing.. I was hoping someone here would be so kind as to help run me through on getting this set up and helping me understand the fundementals..
there are many that know more than me, but i can try to help a little bit...
first off, im going to assume you are porting roms, not apps, because of how you have things worded i was a bit confused at first.
now, eclipse is an amazing IDE, but when it comes to porting android roms from device to device its not going to be much (if any at all) help to you. eclipse is great for application development, and building a full, ready to install android package (apk) for pushing to the market or side-loaded. (installed on data partition)
there dont tend to be many guides or strait line ways do do things. it all comes out of experience and good problem solving skills. learn to read your logcats, understand what they are saying. you will get it!
im more of a source built kind-of-guy, and never did any porting of pre-compiled roms. but i know http://freeyourandroid.com/ is a great resource for getting started with just that.
please also think about looking into the android build system, its complicated, but you will get it eventually, and it will teach you how a rom really works, and is really built, and it gives you complete control to do anything you want.
hope this was a little help.

the only reason i was setting up eclipse for this was because it was to my understanding it had the tools needed to get adb to produce a logcat, i've delt with apps before.. I made myself a lil launcher for miui and a couple others, but i just have no idea on how to do anything with adb and gettings log cats.. I do appreciate your response and i will take a look at that website.
Hello all,
I am just getting into development stuff and i thought of developing or porting a rom for a tablet i own i.e Tab 3 7' (SM-T211)
the problem is, there are roms but not for this particular model (due to this being a wifi + gsm model)
so the thing is
i know basic files which we need while porting
but the thing is, all the roms which are available, doesnt have the calling feature (GSM) so sim card is not detected in the rom which i port
so i asked few devs, they said you gotta mod or edit, policy framework.jar and stuff
my question is
what are those particulars stuff we required to edit or mod to get gsm thing to work, can anyone push me in a particular direction ?
and my next project after this (if its a success ) would be to develop a kitkat rom for this tab
so please guide me in a direction so that i can try my talent
Thank you so much
TO THE MODS : IF THIS THING IS IN WRONG SECTION, THEN I AM REALLY VERY SORRY
Hello, I have ported android 4.4.4 to the galaxy player 4.2 via the Android Kitchen and i need help fixing some problems. Right now the main issue is that after flashing the ROM the device wont boot..... I know its a big problem but it'd be cool to get this thing working so i figured i should ask. I've been searching Google for the last 2 hours but I've came up short. If you help me then I'll be more than glad to give u props in the development thread for this project once its finished.
Ok well i decided not to use the kitchen to port kitkat because it isnt a great idea so i have decided to port it the way dragonizer told me too(link to guide below). But the thing is is theat i need help getting the files i need. I have been constantly been searching for files for 2 days so far and have barely made a dent. I have the repositories i need but the rest of the files i am asking for help to find. Now i wil post the file names of the ones i find when i find them. Thanks for the help and if you have any questions for me on the project or will like to become a contributor to the project then pm me and we can get this thing made.

dude if you need a tester or anything i would be glad to help i have also tried to port cm 11 kitkat to my device with no success but i would like to help get it made
also i think you need to create a boot image like in the cm 11 builds for the gp 3.6
