I am new here to the forum however not to the android scene or programming. I have been looking around the forum for some software to begin to build some of my own roms for different phones as i use multiple phones:
Samsung galaxy S2 (AT&T / T Mobile ) unlocked
Lg Thrill (AT&T / T Mobile ) unlocked
HTC Vivid (AT&T / T Mobile ) unlocked
HTC inspire (AT&T / T Mobile ) unlocked
T-Mobile My Touch
HP Touchpad ( WebOS, Android, Linux ) boot
I would like to be able to build my own roms and boot animations. I have been unable to find and software here after looking around for two days and searching here, was wondering if anyone has got a tip for a good place to start besides a google search. I swear by this site it has never steared me wrong yet so I would prefer to stick here if possible

Hey Mates,
I'm an owner of an Atrix 3G (not a 4G, ATT or stuff like that), and I'm wanting to change its ROM, personalize it etc.
However, this specific forum seems to be reserved solely for Atrix 4G...
My question: even with an Atrix 3G, am I able to make all changes of ROM etc as if it were an Atrix 4G? Are the ROMs and procedures in this forum compatible for both 3G and 4G?
Regards!
The 4g is a ATT marketing term for HSPDA+. But however the sbf flash files from the att version can only be used on an att phone. The procedure for rooting applies the same to att and non att atrix phones

Thank you, mate. I was very used to HTC WinMo and even Android. However, things are a litlle bit different with Motorola. But I guess I'll handle it Cheers.
Found a "deal" on a SGSII branded from Bell - I live in the south US and want to know if I throw a ROM (say Cog or a US dev. ROM) or even if I odin back to a factory ROM from an AT&T model - will this work? I cant think of something that would cause this to be an issue & I'm pretty sure it would get rid of the Bell boot up screens or any other branding but I am not 100% on that as I have never taken a out of country phone and attempted to do this before. I'm no noob with flashing but I'm also no developer either so your experience & assistance is appreciated!
(I searched & couldn't find this answered)
You don't need to replace the ROM. If the Bell phone is sim-locked, you'll need the unlock code; there's an unlocker program in one of the other forums that works with the earlier ROMs. IIRC, more recent ROMs have a different unlock mechanism that hasn't been reverse-engineered yet.
You can't replace the Bell ROM with an AT&T one, since AT&T doesn't have one -- no US carrier has released the SGS2 yet. The factory ROM will do the job; I bought a EU SGS2 back in May and have used it on AT&T since then. I get 3G & HSPA+ data at speeds up to 7 Mbps, using an old 3G SIM I've had for several years.
I bought a motorola ATRIX 4G, it came by mail yesterday. It has a lot of things from AT&T i don't like because I don't live in the US and some options are blocked (can't switch to 2G or enable tethering).
Is there a way to get a retail android system for my atrix? Where do i get the stock rom? How to flashed?
I'm a "noob" in android ^^ยก
That IS the stock ROM. Stock ROMs for the Atrix 4G come with AT&T stuff and various limitations.
You can easily cure n00bness by reading and learning. I suggest you start with the n00b guide thread in the General section.
I have a Huawei M835 ((it uses Froyo 2.2)) Tokidoki Edition (same as regular version but comes with unique camera/photo edit features and special Tokidoki themes) which is CDMA (on Metro PCS.) Someone just told me their CDMA network will be dead this year or next and my phone will be useless, which is pretty much the most heartbreaking thing to me. I don't know how to unlock it to switch to Verizon, but that would be my first choice solution if anyone knows how to go about doing that.
My second choice: I'm 99% certain the Huawei M835 was also on GSM networks (in non-Tokidoki edition of course) so my plan is to buy one of those on ebay and swap the plastic shells since I don't know how to make CDMA phones read GSM SIMs. So my question for solution 2 is in regards to the pre-loads on the Tokidoki edition. I want to know if there is anyway to root and copy those themes (and the camera features if possible, but I would be thrilled with just the themes) to the non-Tokidoki GSM phone.
I'm sorry if this is all nonsense rambles, but I am phone-stupid and only a little computer savvy. Thanks for your time and I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place or wrong site all together.
Hello everyone,
I've recently purchased a Samsung Stellar second hand from a family member. I intend to use this device for T-mobile(It's a Verizon device) and the device seems to be carrier locked. I've tried five different SIM cards and multiple factory restores for each and only the Verizon chips will work. Verizon customer support refuses to acknowledge both the problem and device, giving me the run-a-round and different and equally unhelpful answers each time. My question is, is there anyone who can help me? I'm looking for a method to either unlock this phone or a root/Cyanogenmod/ROM combination that will allow this device to be more than a glorified music player that also uses apps.

T-Mobile is a GSM network; the Stellar is CDMA - so you aren't taking it *there*. You can take it to a CDMA provider (such as Sprint) or a CDMA network (while not Verizon - since they don't support BYOD) but an MVNO that uses VZW's towers is still a possibility (such as Tracfone). I took my ex-VZW Galaxy Nexus to Tracfone without issues; unlike VZW itself, Tracfone could care less what firmware you use on your devices as long as the firmware itself supports the device. (I use *unified* (tuna) firmware for GNexi (by unified, I mean the firmware supports maguro, toro, AND toroplus devices - as such, it is at home on any Galaxy Nexus) - comes in really handy as the builder is Japanese, and has a maguro GNex, while I have a toro device, and I'm American - and I don't have "sushi" issues - or sashimi issues, either.)
I happen to have a Galaxy Stellar at my elbow, and I'm looking for a community ROM to support it so a friend of mine can pass it down when she retires it. (I'm thinking that it is of a similar age to the GNex; from the legend of the handset itself, it's of the same series as the Galaxy S, and may well be the in-between of the Nexus and S3, as it, like the Nexus, originally ran ICS. If I turn up anything, I'll post it in the thread.
