I am porting a rom over from another device. I need testers, as my phone is currently in Chicago. I require the testers to have knowledge of ADB and be able to provide detailed information on errors as well as logcat logs (I can help walk through getting logs via logcat). Also, you must have an understanding of the risk involved and have knowledge on how to restore your phone to working standards.
For more info, express your interest in the section below.
This rom is a port of the Acer Stream User Interface. It will be based on CM 2.3.
What rom?

Acer Liquid Metal
That screenshot looks gorgeous, I'm interested in trying it out, I just wish my laptop could handle ADB
ADB really doesn't have and minimum system requirements. If you are using the Android emulator, that is a different story though.
Wow that does look nice. What kind of features dies this ROM all include? Wish I could help but I've never used ADB.

None yet, it's just a stock rom from the Acer Liquid Metal. The first step is getting a stable booting rom, then I can worry about adding other things.
holy crap. after watching that video, i may learn ADB just to get my hands on this, lol!
I have basic knowledge of adb. As in showing devices and using it to move stuff into the sd card and what not, but nothing of logcat errors. If you don't mind telling me how to do that, I would love to be your tester. I just need to know if there are any brick warnings dealing with this.
"adb logcat" is pretty much it. I will send you a link to the project page when I get the next release up.

If you still need testers, I'm a HTC g1 dev so I know all the adb and shell stuffs.
Man, another G1 guru, how's androidspin treating ya haha.. anyways to OP, I know the workings of adb but unfortunately I'm limited to only using a cellphone (computers down, don't have system disks to fix it, damn BSOD) anyhow if you ever get an experimental rom booting, inbox me and ill give it a whirl on my other OpT

I have recently rooted my 2.1 ota 1.49 hboot. flashed cyantazzv2, OC 806mhz. kevlarfroyo v3.
What I am interested in, is learning more about adb
lehmans terms please.
I used an app off the market, a 1 button push root process, so any adb stuff I had bypassed.
Thanks in advance
Man you're going to get crucified....Google is your friend.
Its how most of us figured it out.
I say this because what you are asking can easily be found and figured out with a simple search on Google.

Yes google is your friend quit being lazy and search. It took me 20 mind of read to learn everythong about adb commands

Or hell, type adb into your command line / terminal and it will explain all the commands...
Research the old "how to root" and follow some of the steps (the ones that don't require doing anything to your phone). Download SDK and Java JDK to your computer. Set up the drivers. Now.....Google!

But if you rooted your phone than surely you must have used adb so as with any command line protocol ie Linux I always typed "help" and learned a lot just from that so try adb help

Cause no one bothers to google it or search the forums. How hard is it to do it especially adb commands. I would understand if it was something more complicated but its not.
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
99% or more of the time, the effort that goes into flaming someone could have been more than enough to answer the question in the first place. I am very technical-minded so I easily get frustrated by some questions, but why actually be so negative when you could give some useful information like Andrew did... a push in the right direction AND a hint to Google for more information without getting on a high horse.
My observations leads me to the simple answer that sometimes we all need reminded of our alternatives. I have almost 30 years technical experience and sometimes I still have to take a step back and realize that I can easily solve something myself by taking a different route.
A lot of people aren't being lazy, they just aren't search gurus, which is an art, not a science. I will also say that most forum's search functions lack the power to really effectively narrow down search results for some things. Now I'm going get of my own soapbox and try to continue being constructive.

Well since no one will actually explain ill put adb into lehmans terms, ADB is the Android Debug Bridge and is part of the Android SDK . It allows a developer to push files to certains parts of the phones memory, boot to the bootloader, enter shell commands, and much more. ADB is simply an interface for a developer to send commands and to test things without opening a terminal on the phone or using an emulator
Thanks Cap.... I truly wanted to know why an how it worked, not just told what to do. You gave me general understanding, I commend you my friend
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
yeah, adb just tells you everything. adb shell is direct access to a terminal that is on phones filesystem
No problem, glad I could help
I recommend downloading root explorer. A lot (not all) of the adb commands do the same thing that root explorer allows you to do. It allows you to open and view, modify, delete, and replace system files. I use it to change my boot animations, delete unwanted system apps, change Verizon (or whatever appears) on the lockscreen to my own personal message, and copy system files (i.e. the rom I'm on now has some sweet ringtones I've never had access to. So I'll copy them to the sd in case I decide to change roms in the future).
Beware....like adb commands, if you change or delete the wrong file you can brick your phone. So, like I said earlier, you still need to do some research.
PM me if you need help and I'll do what I can.

Personally, I always trust the source much more than 3rd party opinions for things such as installation and operation of software. Keep in mind, these are considered developer tools provided by Google. Another words, if you want to properly learn the process, you'll be learning through the eyes of a developer!
Downloading the SDK (where ADB is contained): http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Directions on how to use ADB: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html
The next most common issue will be drivers. Windows is notorious for having driver issues with varying Android devices. Somebody else might need to chime in on the best way to get Windows to properly recognize the EVO 3D, such as a proper drivers link. I vaguely remember installing HTC sync in order to get the drivers, then removing HTC sync, as the drivers stayed behind, but this was a long while ago.
Hope that helps!
i will try
thanks joey always been helpfull!

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.

Working on a ROM using the kitchen. It's really good for showing you a lot of things you need to do for basics (deodexing, zipaligning, etc.) Just remember that it is "basic" and you can't completely construct a ROM just using the kitchen. Great way to get started :good:

Building Sense based ROMs using dsixda's kitchen is pretty straight forawrd, hardest part was seting it up to run on a windows pc. You pretty much just end up with a deodexed, zipaligned ROM. I haven't done this with my Rezound but have built ones for the Incredible and Eris. You can also de-sense ROMs easily witht his too. Its a good tool to learn teh basics. The next step up is to learn to compile from source or to port over a ROM from another device.

You can't really be shown how to make a ROM. Every Rom is different, and requires different steps.
Yeah I understand that but I mean like for finding where things are located and what some important things do
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
theres no shortcut to learning how to make roms
id say a large portion of rom devs started out by theming...helps to learn the files structures and what does what...as well as becoming familiar w/ apktool, smali, etc
biggest lesson that few seem to hit out the park on the first try? credit
if using other peoples stuff, make sure to credit them properly :good:
What do people use as a base for the sense 4 roms?
