Even if you have no coding experience at all, you can help. Testing is the easiest way to help. There are millions of lines of code and ways to set up these phones. Testing is the most important part of the development process. Without testers bugs will roam free. There are two separate major test categories, kernels and roms. Then minor testing such as mods/themes/etc. Kernels are the brains of the phone. Roms is the body. Both need to be tested and both need to be improved. When you test please do more than just quadrant. Make specific repeatable comments that will help some one fix the issue. Thanks and happy testing

I do have a project i want tested. On the razr forum there is a project call debtop. Can someone flash my newest hardvfp kernel and test debtop on the photon. I believe i got the kernel to support it.
Edit gentop not debtop
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Ok - I'd love to help, but I'm not sure what your kernel is or the gentop is? I've rooted my phone, messed with a few simple things here and there, but other than that - I'm still learning. I did install a custom ROM on my old Hero, but I haven't messed with the Photon.
I do have time though - I work a lot of night shifts and if shown how to do something, I learn it quickly! If I can be any help, message me and I'll do what I can to help out!
I gotcha bubb. I'm in a 4G area if you you are still working on the bootloader
Hell I will even let you remote control my computer. Just don't go into the folder that says mmmm lol
No need. I actually know how to install a 64 bit operating system. Lol. Im slowly working on it. Its not a bootloader problem. Motorolas official engineering phones with real unlocked factory bootloaders dont have 4g. So obviously we gotta look elsewhere. Its possibly recovery related or some form of security check. Once we find exactly what it we can fix it. The best way is to dd everything. Like dd / lol. Once with stock, then after unlock only then recovey change. Once all three is pulled. Someone needs to run a diff, or physically cross check everything, eek. Once the culprit is found we will squash it. so obviously you can see this will be time consuming. Way more time then I ever get. I would have to take a vacation just to get that kind of time. I can do the squashing after the fact but atm im stuck trying to blindly fix it

Okay this is to everyone wanting to help. Find me cool patches. Remember your looking for arm no neon stuff the kernel is 2.6.32.9(kinda). I might update to .50 if I can ever find those patches. Most stuff I can manually patch and do, but 2.6.32.* patches are huge and I need .patch's to do that. If you find kernels from other phones with cool stuff please make sure they actually post source. A bfs 400+ patch for 2.6.32.9 would be awesome, so would proper autogroups. Post findings here.
Thanks and happy hunting

I'm not a programmer but I would like to help if I can. Picked up my MoPho 3 weeks ago, rooted it, and did a couple buildprop tweaks but nothing else. Haven't unlocked it yet, either.

Currently system version 45.3.6.MB855.sprint.en.us; Android 2.3.4; Baseband N_01.28.07R; Webtop WT-1.2.0-160; Kernel [email protected] #2; Build 4.5.1A-1SUN-198.6

As a break from the flaming, if you're serious about learning to develop, go to the main XDA development thread and start grabbing the tools. The Kitchen is a must have, apktool, manager, dex2jar, smali/baksmali. Grab a base Rom and start playing with that. Ports are far more involved, so cut your teeth on the basics first.
Good luck.

I guess that depends on your definition of port. I'm relatively certain that less than 10% of the system partition in Bamf is thunderbolt. Sounds like a pretty complete "port" to me.

No u should be working on reading a little. Mrinehart is working in his build in his spare time. He is a full time student. He has a device and several members test his work.
The other build (GSM) is under construction in HIS spare time. These things take lots of time. Be patient.they are being worked on.

I believe the GSM Dev said himself he wouldn't support it as he wouldn't have time. So he's done what he can, I believe. And the CDMA one will be worked on again in probably a week or so. I think he had three weeks worth of school work that too priority.

Ok, makes sense, was a little confusing with both ROMs getting quick updates and then dying off for a while.
I think the GSM build was based off the CDMA build and that was has been a long painful process to even get it booting.

I thought it was independent, as the CDMA build did not have CDMA actually working. BTW is there source code for the GSM build?
It may have been, I'm not totally sure. As for source code, You'd have to PM the Dev and ask. I have no idea on that.
It's on his github,

As far as progress goes, alcohol(not money) is required as development is a huge pain in the (edited for language). It's trial and error and some people just have magical powers that others don't. Cm7 is based on aosp, while motoblur is too, motorola makes there own stuff to get it to work. Then they make there special files/drivers depend on other stuff that's theirs. Some of these drivers/files have no source. Theres where the problem is.
Now the GSM cm7 is actually a kang, or cm7 with built in moto files. The reason cdma doesn't work is because it isn't called correctly, as the files necessary are part of blur. The the other cm7 is pure cm. It's a long tedious road for anyone attempting cm but once we have it upgrading will be easy. Personally I think more people should be helping. Pm the CDMA dev and ask how to build to his point, sync with his git, read up on the cm forums and try to help. Even if you only fix a small thing, submitting it back to him and it will bring cm faster.
As far as me, I plan to start helping soon after I redo my dev box(ran out of room) . I hope others will too.

Well, I found cybik's(GSM) source code (https://github.com/cybik/Sunfire) and have been playing around with building it. I'm not sure how much help I can be with it though.
its true, development work is best done between .13-.20 BAC
seeing as how we don't pay these people to bring us anything, we can't really expect them to work on this day and night. I'm sure CM will be done eventually, I have no doubts about that. As for how long it's going to take, i really don't care. I'll happily accept a "when it's done" ETA.

From what i understand both of those have broken 4g and i can't deal with that. i am just stock rooted with some various tweaks here and there, but there is no way to steal some files to help stock boot like that. I mean on the htc phones it is a check box in the settings menu. Sorry i am no good at coding and just have no time with work to really take on a project like this. If anybody knows of a way to do it, i would be willing to make a donation, but i need 4g to work.

That requires either a CM guy to have our phone and decide to develop for it, or one of our amazing dev's to port it. Since we just got the ability to unlock the bootloader, It'll take a little while for things to ramp up. Baby steps.

How hard can it be to port CM?? I ask because I am considering attempting to do this over thanksgiving... I never ported CM before and I don't have much of an understanding of the Android Source code... But I can get my way around basic source code editing, if I have a lot of help... So, if someone can tell me how to start porting this thing, I may attempt to do so over thanksgiving.. but don't get your hopes up, I am just a novice dude here...

Also, I really want to get some pointers on how to setup the build for a new device. I know that if all we are trying to do is build for a device that is already supported, then you already have the necessary files to compile it for that device. But, what I don't know is how to set up the build environment for a new device. Someone with some know how will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
