Can you make your own Custom ROM? Motorola Photon 4G - Motorola Photon 4G

There are too many ROM and so many possibilities.
Lately i have tested the Kitchen Sink ROM and loved it, but the thing that gets me the most is Stock Motorola Cam. It doesnt have it . The CM9 Cam from kitchen sink is good but its delayed alot. There are more i would like to explain but ill just leave it simple. Can you make your own ROM?

yes

Unlike the winmo days where anyone could get a kitchen and build away, the closest thing android has to that is the aroma installer kitchen sink uses. So building a rom on android is a bit more advanced. Best bet would be getting an already credible minimal rom such as the 3.2.5 deblur/cm7 and theming/modifying it to your liking. But the fact that you asked such a broad question kinda tell me that youve got a lot of reading to do if youre plannin to undertake such a project.

AOSP roms?

Anyone besides CM working on any AOSP roms? I miss it!! Also, I am available to host any files that devs need mirrored.

As current roms stand there are no AOSP roms out at the moment . But also bare in mind root status is still very new , if anything still in its infancy . Give it time and before you know it AOSP will be ready for flashing . I know cyanogenmod was ported to the Sensation already , so I dont think EVO3D will be to far off from that . Some Devs have had roms on standby waiting for root to hit but never had a device to test stability on (even though there were s-off devices running around in the wild) . Like I said give it more time , heck the development thread has already started up with kernal threads and rom threads . The fun is just now begining so kick back and enjoy the ride
I'm not trying to be rude but there's a fee threads on this already.
But yeah first I heard it would be ported and cyanogen wouldn't officially support it then I heard that toastch is working on it. So I can't wait either.

The only mention I have seen from a Dev for AOSP is....
-viperboy- said:
Hello everyone, welcome to viperROM!
Current Dev Plan:
RC1.3 will have the ability to go "Non-Sense" using my script to remove Sense apps in place of AOSP apps. viperROM Control Script to manage this as well as many other features!
RC2 is going to be a completely reworked base. I won't go into much detail yet, but it's going to be THE FASTEST E3D Sense ROM.
No ETA on any of these but I just thought I would share with you guys my plans at the moment. I will also get some theming work started in one of these upcoming builds.

I should mention it is currently RC1.2
Supra ROM is the closest to AOSP we got now. Its like AOSP and Sense combined

Short answer, Nope.
Longer answer...it can aid in the porting of cm7, but it won't be a direct, instant, no problem port. It will move some files for you, but you must also know which files to remove, edit, tweak, etc. before you could even begin porting it
I'm thinking a fresh new build is most likely the best option for CM. You'll have to be patient like the rest and give them time.There's a lot of time, work and testing envolved either way.
You got an answer from myn so that should keep this thread short and sweet. OP you can always go to the CM dev team and watch for any info they share.
thanks to both of you....anyone wanna teach me how to port lol

How do you know if my Droid X2 is Liberty or Eclipse?

Whats the difference on them or what I don't get it thanks in advance!!
Eclipse and liberty are just roms that you can flash onto your x2 if you have rooted your phone. If you or someone you know hasn't personally put them on your phone, then you'll have neither. It isn't something that would be on there from the manufacturer.

you question is kind of vague and frankly the thread title was just very confusing with the wording u chose. I almost felt like english is not ur first language?
if u can clarify ur question and be more specific with it maybe I can answer it somehow...good luck
I believe the OP has flashed a theme intended for liberty/eclipse over his stock GB. He posted this in the Red eclipse/liberty theme thread:

yes sir..u are VERY right.
all I am trying to say is try to NOT be harsh...some things can read harsher than intended when type.
im not trying to say u didn't or that no one is trying to help out.
but it is also inevitable, that people no matter what they have read, will still need that little bit of "extra" info on "what to do now"
especially since our X2 can be picky with what you do or the process you use to do it
I really just said what I did in hope to "preempt" any "mean spirited" replies.
imagine how u would like to be answered when entering a site and following the rules at least to not post questions in dev section and u really don't understand all these : ROM, SBF, OTA, root, p3's, su, busybox, CWM, bootstrap, recovery, stock, modded, etc... words and what they mean.
now im DEFINITELY NOT saying go ahead and write out exactly everything the person needs to do. I am just saying don't be harsh. not that u were. or anyone else in this thread((yet))
just saying a bit of guidance and clarification on things asked is nice to see....basically common courtesy.....
imagine how u felt or I felt or anyone feels entering this "world" of flash addicts who do this every day lol.
((now if this was posted in dev forum as new thread I would call the DAWGS and say have at em for not reading the rules at all Hahaha))(
I am sorry ..this post has gotten longer than intended and I have succumbed to rambling and being off topic. ....

roms getting stale....

So im sitting here with CM7 and I have flashed a billion times different roms because bordem has set in. I know that CM9 is supposedly around the corner but can we get some new roms and or updates on current ones??
I'm thinking there are no significant updates to be made, short of the one "we"are all waiting for...

there are at least 3 with 2012 updates. you can always DIY. there is now another waste thread here, which means less people will search and will post more waste threads.

REALLY?!? Nobody wants to do any groundbreaking changes when ICS is literately right around the corner. A few little updates probably wont quinch your bored thirst either. You do realize though for the Devs to come in here and read this, they can take this as a slam, right? Not a nice way to get more roms/updates.

Since you're bored, Id suggest to read up and learn how to hellraise and then try a few i9100 romes. That will both take up that bored time and also give you some new roms to play with.
I dont approve of this thread at all and I feel that this could get really hostile due to the blunt disrespect for the Devs in this forum.
Thread locked.

[Q] Anyone?...

Dear Dev's and Devets, it has come to my attention that a zip file with jellybean from the sdk has been dumped, anyone wanna give it a go and do some porting for our devices??
id be willing to help with the testing, and i bet many other users will be more than glad to make their devices give some ass to the project.
