I am considering creating a secure ROM which will be optimized for security and privacy. Gapps will be removed, security will be enhanced, Tor integration, a custom kernel enhanced for security and speed, and open source drivers (The last two are for later work).
I am considering making two flavors, a defense ROM (Set up for defense and max privacy), and a Offensive ROM (The defensive ROM except modded for pentesting (Right...? ). I might figure out how to get the aircrack suite running on it.)
However, the Offensive ROM is a future project and i am just going to make the defense ROM for now.
Is there any interest into this? (And i might integrate cornerstone into it)
I plan to make it a FOS ROM for v2 or v3 but thats all in the future. For now i am planning to build off of the stock ROM.
Any idea's/suggestions?
Edit: I have started working on the Defense version and I should have a 1.0 out soon.
And yes, I have the computing power to compile a FOS ROM. Two quad Core 8gb machines
An SELinux version of Android already exists... and Android is already inherently secure because of app-sandboxes... what on earth could you possibly offer better than that? If you want a secure android, don't root it.

I mean secure as in no Google logging (remember carrier IQ oh wise one? ), custom written drivers so no manufacturer logging , and a custom kernel so that I can do things like disable the GPS chip at kernel level and lock the camera at kernel level.
And the offensive ROM is going to be a blast. All ur wifis ar mine and all that
All of that sounds pretty awesome, even if I didn't use it choice is the reason we all go android right?

The offense one is going to be built off of the Defense ROM so i have to make sure the Defense ROM is stable before building the Offense ROM. No use putting the cart before the horse .
Ha I'd love this! Just took a break from my computer forensics lab to find this here waiting.

tor integration would be a nice feature, but so would having an option to cut it off if it gets too slow.
Better vpn implementation would be a plus.

Do you even know what TOR is?
And the things you use a tablet for (Pr0n?) are not the things the OP is making a very specific build for.
I actually have quite a few professional tools on my Prime as well, and it wouldn't break my heart to see GAPPS go away.
I really hate it when amateurs with no clue post "rhetorical" questions. Rhetorical in quotes because you obviously have no clue that there IS a valid answer to your question, nor are you even remotely interested in the answer because the OP already gave it PRIOR to you asking.

So if this Eee Pad is like its netbook brother the Eee PC which has a broadcom also(yes I know its not the exact same one) it could be pretty useful in the penetrate(offensive) area. My college runs the Eee PC in the ethical hacking classes because its compact and the broadcom it boasts can utilize BT WiFI tools to its full potential.

WHICH HAS BEEN CLOSED DUE TO FLAMING/TROLLING/ SARCASM/ ETC. AND POSSIBILITY OF ATTRACTING FLAMERS (those who flame) TROLLERS, AND OTHERS. (not you, dagr8)
this is not pointed at anyone.
Do you still feel the need for an aosp bounty? Make a thread, and let the trolling begin.
To whomever delivers a fully working aosp build first will receive $20 from me. I know it is not nearly enough but I still want to repay the developer for his/her work.

When you say fully functional does that mean spen too? That may add considerable effort. I personally would be OK if everything worked except spen. Of course working spen would be a nice bonus.

His mod is touchwiz, this is for AOSP.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I gathered from DAGr8's response to me in the other bounty that AOSP brings Tablet/Phone hybrid functionality. So this is really a bounty for a pure AOSP ROM and nothing specific about Tablet/Phone since that's inherent to AOSP. No?
Also, I thought a lot of the S-Pen functionality was tied to TW, so unless we specify something for S-Pen, that's not a requirement for this bounty.

True on both accounts. What may happen is someone can pledge for aosp a certain amount then a higher amount from aosp + spen.

The spen would work, however The button would not. I think that The wacom digitizer works without tw on vanilla roms but the button and therefore gestures requiring the button would become useless.

we already have aosp launcher and aosp apps working or being worked on
you certaintly wont get spen support and if you did it would be a while after launch of pure aosp indefinitely. So I just fail to see how any devs would be motivated by this..
I guess it's good to dream put me in for 100$ but only if it comes with spen support at launch, k?
Does anyone want to go in with me on a bounty for jelly bean???

I don't mean to convert my previous post from partial ass to complete ass now that it was taken seriously; however, after seeing an extra 100$ added to the bounty it seems my intention at sarcasm wasn't understandable by the OP. I have no intentions of paying 100$ for aosp with spen support at launch, nor' do I have any intention of starting a bounty for Jelly Bean. Not because I don't want them, just because I don't think it is possible. To follow up on what I was trying to say in my last post -- now that we have almost all of the aosp apps available to us, aosp launchers and tablet mode, I see no advantage to what an aosp base could bring us. Perhaps delusions of higher benchmark scores? Anyways sign me off please, I am not a supporter.
I take a long view on my commitment on my pledge.
If Samsung comes out with their ICS, I get what I want for free... But we lose the skill set if someone developed it here and we will need someone to learn it when Jelly Bean comes out. I love Samsung hardware but hate their lack of commitment to their Android releases.

Hi gang.
Here is an idea brewing in my head. I know it will spin your head. I am embarking on a mission to bring AOSP to this forsaken land... Fair warning. As you see, there is no "recognized developer" tag underneath my name and for a good reason, I am not one! An average newb here as far as AOSP deving is concerned. I do know the very basics, I did build a couple AOSP builds for the Dinc2 and Transformer prime, but that was trivial as those devices were already supported. This device is not. So, I'll need to figure out how to first setup the environment for this and then learn to make a kernel from the source HTC has (if they released it that is).
So, anyone here who can point me to the right direction to kick this off!?
This thread is intended to be a platform for all those interested in helping bring AOSP to our device. Any and all helpful suggestions in this regard will be appreciated!
Hell yeah! I'm pretty sure if we all pull together we can get something cooking. I was wondering though obviously we aren't on jelly bean. Would it be easier to build an ics cm9 and then add select features like the lock screen, camera, animations etc?

Dunno. I was actually thinking if it is better to build Jellybean 4.1 rather than the latest and greatest 4.2.1. But if there aren't significant changes, may be we can pull off a 4.2 build. I just want to first learn to compile AOSP so that it even boots. I believe I need to mod files to build it for our environment... I wonder where I can learn this stuff..
Nits, Andy, help please!
My new laptop is running Windows 8 and I believe it will be a PITA to get Linux running natively on that due to the UEFI fiasco... I wonder if VM linux will be as fast as native... If not, I'll use my current machine to build and use the new one to due my regular stuff...

I don't know anything about this ROM specifically. I've built my own version of PA. I've been trying out pie and it's OK but it's nothing like having the nav bar down there. The nav bar is just so much easier and has more functionality than the pie controls. imho the tablet mode with PA is the way to go. It's much better than tablet mode with other ROMs like jellybeer. PA maintains the ability to customize the nav bar and status bar toggles while in tablet mode. Most other ROMs I've tried with tablet mode feature, when you are in tablet mode you lose any customization abilities.

I've no deving experience but it'd be cool if a dev could take a look and see if it's possible to do a port :fingers-crossed:
Not to burst the bubble but, at least on the N7, it's totally unstable, and unusable.
Doesn't mean development can't start. Get the groundwork in place so when the Ubuntu Touch source is more refined, then a full-fledged ROM won't be much far away.
More options is a good thing even if they have maturing to do.
Personally, I'm interested in seeing how the docking-as-a-desktop thing will perform considering the specs of this phone being so nice.

For what i understand, that's why they haven't officially released it for tablets yet.

Buy some Unix/Linux books and start reading. Develop it yourself if it's that important to you!

Awwwww.... come on.
This would be an interesting choice but I feel that Android is more touch friendly than Ubuntu would ever be.
Any development is good development.

Ubuntu Touch's gesture based navigation seems really sweet, but the lack of apps seems worrying.

I was under the impression that Ubuntu was more touch friendly than android what with gestures etc.

Anyone with knowledge about ROM building and would like to take on the task @Th3Bill has been working with Ubuntu for android based products for a long time. He is currently working on Ubuntu touch for another device. He could probably give someone pointers.
I would love to try out Ubuntu touch. Been very excited about since it was first announced.

I was able to use it on my galaxy nexus just fine. Everything worked near flawlessly. Just couldn't make or receive phone calls or text but that's because I was on CDMA. From what I remember they have had several very stable builds on a few devices. Just no interest because of app development.
But my view on this is if its made available for more devices then eventually someone will pick up development of apps for it. The people that have say its very easy.

While I thought the same when I started playing around with building it the other day, I will say that it's a VERY nice UI they have made. It seemed very simple to navigate.

Ubuntu touch I'm new with...just been doing for last 2 days LOL. I have been in the Android scene for a while, though (@tsdeaton knows me from the good ol Photon).
I will say this...UT is not as simple as it seems. I've got issues with multiple things so far (pretty much, I have a nice, pretty UI with a semi-functioning camera and NO networking or sound so far), but am working at figuring out how they get this working on their native devices and hoping to reverse engineer what they did for the HTC One.
As far as their native builds, the N10 and N7 are greatly lagging behind the N4 and GNex in terms of stability. If you check out their current status of each build (I don't have a link, but a quick googling should find it), you'll get an idea of the daunting task ahead of anyone looking to make this work.

Compile was not too hard...I can get that far. It looks really nice when it boots, which took all of 12 seconds on first boot. I thought it had hung on a boot animation when I realized there was a status bar...LOL. It's pretty smooth and a VERY nice UI to be honest (and I don't really like ubuntu on the PC...I'm a Mint fan myself).
It's the part where they start talking about audio and writing Alsa UCM mixer files that I get a bit lost, as they have links to what SHOULD be reference material on HiFi and VoiceCall, yet both go to "Page does not exist" pages, thus leaving the builder on their own to figure it out.
Camera and wifi I should be able to fix. Phone, data, etc...I'm not sure that will work right without a LOT of work.

I know, I know... the droid x2 is a lost cause, but i have to make it last a little while longer and I have 2 of them so...
Is anyone interested or talented enough to try to get CM11 (kitkat) ported over to this device? I know @kev1nMark has been "talking" to dragonzkiller about getting into it, but anyone else have resources to contribute? I've never worked on the device at such a low level before, but I have written apps for it as well as know a thing or two about code. I'm happy to contribute whatever i can, even if its as simple as running up tests on my spare device.
Thoughts?

I am considering it. This devices is a royal pain to work with though. I will see what i can do.
I'm certainly willing to test any builds that may come up, I'll have to locate a wall charger though..

In the same situation. It's looking like a good deal of work and might be a task I just simply don't have the skill for at this point. Still, I really want to have a useful old phone. Gingerbread makes me sad. Jelly Bean is just a resource hog. I've always wanted to learn a little more about the ROM build process and this might be a decent way to do it.
How does one go about porting KitKat to the X2?

This is where I'm starting also w/ dragonzkiller's CM10 repos. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
EDIT: Perhaps it's better to start building an updated CM10 just to get everything building correctly? With my lack of experience diving right into CM11 seems a bit bold.
One can simply put cm11 framework on a cm10 base but that's not what we want.

Should anyone decide to take on this herculean task, I'll be more than happy to be a test bunny. My X2 is presently a glorified paperweight.

I have a Milestone X2 running under the ACS Alaska carrier. My device is rooted and I've used every ROM that Larson Thorpe has put in his MX2 collection. The ICS and JB roms did work, but had too many issues/crashes/reboots/etc so I just stuck with Eclipse 2.3 which is based on Gingerbread.
This phone is just... hard to deal with sometimes, and we all know it's mostly due to the amount of RAM. KitKat seems to take care of a ton of memory issues in Android (tested on my N7.) People have said that KitKat won't actually improve older devices by much, but any improvement would be amazing!
I'm totally down to fully test any builds anyone comes up with. I wish I could help build/develop for this phone, but I'm a web developer and have absolutely no skill with ROM building or kernels or anything like that.
Here's to hoping!
I can get everything set up and running (as in, ready to compile) but the compile errors are truly a mess to debug.
Is anyone willing to make a "how to" thread that describes how to make a basic rom, specific to this phone?
I think enough people are still interested, but I think we'd get further if we helped to educate each other.

This is about the closest thing I have seen, thanks Kevin for pointing it out already:

Maybe once it gets put on more devices and development starts up again. You could ask nitroglycerin if he would be willing to update eclipse. But being a 512mb device this would be huge.

Since we don't have a unlocked bootloader we can't just download the source and compile it, it takes a lot of skill. That's why we have a low development rate

Well, actually, you can have CM compile around a pre-compiled kernel (what we have) but there's more to it than that.
One, we already have graphics issues...and KitKat forces you to have newer drivers or else you get black artifacting
This is due to OpenGL 3 not being supported by the vendor blobs
Our blobs don't even have ICS support...
Another nightmare is, yes, getting CM to take the precompiled kernel
If I got my hands on the source that the cm10.1 rom is based off of, we could start work
I would aim to start with 10.2, then maybe add in cm11 features but keep the old system
It would make things easier, keep radios, wifi, storage and display working...hopefully
Also, being as I'm on cm10, could anyone link me the patched recovery?
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one on the ol' X2, this would be so awesome if we got a KitKat ROM
