Once a phone is opened up how long does it typically take before we see custom roms like CM7?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Every phone has it's own dev. Who knows. It happens if or when it happens.
Is it possible to get an official CM7 and not just a port?

now
THERE IS NO ETA. IT WILL BE DONE WHENEVER IT IS READY
If you want it quicker do it yourself and see how its done
(caps is cruise control for cool )
I think Devs are working hard on that.

Off topic: That was the coolest video ever.
On topic I'm betting we will see some CM7 roms (very buggy ones) within the next couple weeks.
I was just over at their forums. I see an old post that was revived asking for an atrix version, but no other threads. so who knows...
Also when it is done on the At&t atrix, will international users be able to flash it when our bootloader is unlocked or will we have to wait for another port?
There's already a Tegra phone out in the wild running CM7.. oh wait i have one sitting right next to my Atrix. That should make it a decent bit easier to get CM7 working on the Atrix.
This thread should be deleted - the cardinal rule of CM is... do NOT ask for etas!!!!!!!!!! It will be ready whenever its ready...
Devs are working hard on that.
I believe these kinds of threads are VERY necessary...it reminds the devs that we are still wanting CM7...if nobody wants it nobody would post...so this is a way to push the devs....supply and demand =)
I'm not trying to step on anyone's foot, but i just don't understand why u guys get mad simply cuz a guy is asking for an ETA, you never know, maybe one of us may be almost done porting CM7...

So you mean.. you like having a waiter drop by your table every 5mins to see if you are done with your meal because there is a queue forming outside the restaurant? Because what you're saying is basically the same thing.
Devs are doing this on their free time. They are not obligated to do so and even less so to tell whiny little brats when they will be done with it.
IF they're done with it. THEN they're done with it. All this asking for eta will just piss them off and waste valuable time that could have been spent dev-ing instead of replying dumb posts.

The devs, much like yourself, are in no way forced to read this kind of thread if it bothers them so much.

Wouldn't it be MORE of a waste of time complaining instead of using that time developing? If people are asking for an ETA that means THEIR INTERESTED...if not, then it would be a big waste of time for you and many other developers investing time and money on something people do not want.
I'm a game developer and i go through the same issues as many developers have here. I don't complain from "potential" customers asking for an ETA...it's a little rude even though asking consistently for an ETA is even ruder. Remember those guys asking for an ETA may be donating money to the developer that completes the Rom, so why shun away the people that ultimately may pay for your living.
I'm pretty sure some and possibly most developers here have aspirations to do this sort of thing as a living; and if so, learn to deal with and grow up, you'll be asked for an ETA numerous times in the business world.
your analogy makes no sense to the topic. If i were you i would sit and think a little before saying the first thought that comes to mind.

I don't think majority of the devs here are doing this for a living, more for interest. I personally don't do any dev-ing so I'm not even sure if I'm right to say this but as a game developer, you yourself have admitted that it rude of people to consistently asking for eta.
But if I were doing this for my personal interest. It won't really matter if nobody wants my work. Because I would be doing it because I wanted to, not because I'm hoping to earn a living from this. I would be pretty god damn pissed every time people were to ask for etas especially if I didn't owe them anything.
Rather then to ask the devs to grow up and "deal" with it. Why not ask those people to simply sit tight and wait?
The analogy is apt, you just probably need a few more cycles to process it.
You mentioned that it is good of people to create these threads so that devs will know that there are still interest in porting over CM7. So similarly, would it be good if someone were to come over to your table every 5mins to ask if you are done with your meal because there are people queuing outside? Think it through. 1) People wants cm7 so they keep creating eta request threads. 2)people are queuing outside the restaurant so the waiter keeps coming over to see if you're done.
That analogy wasn't correct at all.
You've said yourself, they don't cater to us. They do it for fun and because they're interested. I'm a waiter, and it's our job to bother you. We're required to make you as comfy as possible during your dinner or lunch. We're required to get you whatever you need. Within a small amount of time while doing the same for other tables. Even if it doesn't look like you need anything we have to bother the crap out of you. Regardless of queue or not.
Devs are not waiters. They don't have to cater to anyone. But at least the devs will know that we're interested in their work by asking ETA's. I can understand if the whole forum was crying for CM7, but one or two people can't hurt anything, and biting their heads off and throwing bad analogies around won't help anyone.

Video is hilarious lol
Guys I know I am a newbie on this forum but come on... The OP isn't asking for an actual ETA, hes just asking the community if through past experience anyone has a gauge on how long it takes for a Cm7 port to pop up after a bootloader gets unlocked. How is this not a valid question?
Just like on any forum I am sure it is tiresome for the senior members to see the same questions being rehashed with different variables inserted over and over. At the same time however, his subject made it perfectly clear what he was asking for, why bother to even open this thread if you don't want to constructively answer his question?
All of you were new to the scene at one time try to remember that.
In my case I have been wondering the same thing, while I have spent plenty of time programming in .net languages I haven't done any work like this before so I am struggling to wrap my head around the steps needed to port a rom over. (might just dive in myself and take a look though!)
Anyhow guys my intention is not to offend anyone just remind them that we are all not of the same tenure in this android / dev world.
My daughter has a HTC Inspire & recently lost it due to behavior unbecoming for a young lady!! My question is is there a way to gain root access in order to blow out the password file & access the phone or any other trick that wont reset everything? If im being honest, Im scared to death of what I might find but also believe its something that needs to be addressed before something even worse happens! Any of you with daughters know what im talking about.
I guess I could just record a youtube video of me putting a couple rounds in it!
Thanks in advance!

this should do it
That looks like a nice program to instal on the device after I get into it but as it stands now the phone is locked & I dont even think its even rooted at this time! I need a tool or windows download of some sort. Any help greatly appreciated!
How about this?
http://androidadvices.com/unlock-android-phone-forgot-pin-password-screen-lock/
It should work but it will require you to know the Gmail account (username and password) that your daughter used when she setup the phone in order to access android market on your PC and download the app.
Good luck

Do you know the # of characters for the password?
Start by trying things that you know your daughter is into... favourite band, tv show, etc.. or simple things like her birthday, her best friend's name
But honestly, why wouldn't you just ask her?
Tell her AT&T needs to know her password so they can try to recover the phone... just get creative, then once you unlock it install the app and you're good to go!
Yeah I figured out the password & tried to install the program but it says for security your phone is set to block installation of non market apps & takes me to settings but i couldnt find any options to allow me to do it.
Is this a relevant article or is there an newer or easier way?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706887
Go to
Menu > Settings > Applications
Check the "unknown sources" box, good to go.
Not sure if AT&T still locks their phones from doing this.. but if so, the option won't be there..
I can't imagine that they would do still lock them from sideloading because then you wouldn't be able to use the Amazon app store..
Let me know

Jesus man ......... i so wish you hadn't posted this bro ........*sigh*.
I have 6 year old twin girls ......... and one of them Gretel ........ already has the most inappropriate friends you could possible imagine ...............
Am not being 'square' in believing 6 year olds do not need high heels am I??
That 6 year olds encouraging each other to kiss boys is unnecessarily early??
Or that in 2012 hair length and colour of garment should not be a big gender signifier??
Dood .......... please tell me it gets better??
Yeah its NOT giving me that option..... Im updating the software in hopes that fixes it. any other work arounds for sideloading if not?
And no sir unfortunately it DOESNT get better! Im gonna end up in prison!! LOL
No offence, but at six years old, you should be able to dictate who her friends are - so long as you have the mother's (wife's?) support
I do hear what you are saying.. environmentally it's hard nowadays.. so much inappropriate influence from media/friends/etc
but my five year old daughter does what I say.. end of story.. it all boils down to the parents. Act now brother! Save the children! (seriously) it only gets harder.

Yeah that would work where it not for the fact that my kids are at school full time 5 days a week 9am-3pm and the inappropriate kids are her school friends. I have no control over who see hangs with at school ........ just like every other parent.
Looking for solutions for something similar to this.
maybe a free solution..... Anyone heard or have any expeirence with anything like this?
mobile-spy.com
Go to htcsense.com, log on to the accpunt she useful for HTC apps. From there you can track her phone, forward messages and calls to another phone. Lock the phone, etc..... I love it because I lost it once and I tracked it down and found it, also I was able to forward everything to my galaxy s.

How are you rooted? Just nook&zergy rooted or running CWM and a different rom? If just the nook&zergy, do the 8 failed boot method (while unit is powering on hold power until it shuts off...repeat 8 times and it will auto factory restore. If you have working CWM recovery, you can flash a stock rom and be done with it.
Ooo
that's i was meaning
...
too difficult for me now...
i used the sd card method from albertwerz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439630
thanks for yr help
Put the acclaim.zip on your sdcard and boot. (or go to B&N.com and download one of their stock roms and do the same. After the unit goes into sleep mode it will update. Your easiest way will be the 8 failed boots method methinks.
1 question though, why unroot? If you are using a stock rom that is just rooted, what's the point of removing that access? It's the same rom, only with SU access and market abilities. /shrug, to each their own I guess.
Know Fear because i made a big mistake:
i rooted as soon as i got the tablet, and i didn't took time to explore and understand how it worked, am totally new to android
i thought i could do it... but i'm finding it quite hard...
and i'm going to the states next week and hope to bring the tablet back to store to have the update to fix the available space...
maybe in the future i will have the needing of rooting it again.
what's this 8 failed boots method?
is it the stock rom from B&N???
Get Version 1.4.2 Today
To get the update manually, you can download the software update to your computer at any time and then copy it onto your NOOK Tablet. Simply follow the steps below. Manual Download Instructions:
Yes, that is what you will need. put it on an sdcard, and let the tablet go into sleep mode. It should update by itself.
i've done as told but nothing happened...
flash my recovery rom, flash stock recovery, and run unrooter app. Back to stock! See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495869
you can do this from any state through cwm, even from CM7, instructions are in the video

Ahh, I didn't think they had actually replaced the stock recovery. I assumed CWM was running from sdcard from your version. My mistake. Thanks for clearing that up Albert.

Seriously?? Please, don't ever do anything else with rooting until you learn to read. Research will get you much further than asking the same questions over and over...when the answer is 1 post up.
i'm really sorry
i didn't remember i already wrote the same things,
and as soon as i posted it i realised it was double...
and i try to correct...
anyway i didn't do anything, just pressing power and home button, and the nook asked me if i wanted to factory restore...

hi. I am a COMPLETE noob but i have a great idea of an app....i want to make an app that would take care of most of the students in high schools that take student's phone away. I am trying to make an app that will delete all texts and call logs etc. from the phone when i press a certain button like power button for a certain amount of time or even the volume button. The reason for this app is to prevent school admins to access txts or anything that is personal and u don't want them to find out ur secrets....so whenever a teacher asks for ur phone because u got caught with ur phone out in school, u can quickly press that specific button and a vibration would be a confirmation of task being done. Fast and undetectable. Keep in mind i have never made an app but i would greatly appreciate ur advice and some expert help/advice would be very very helpful. Thanks and i hope u like the idea enough to give some of ur help into making this app.
P.S. where i go to school the school has a right to ask a student for his/her password so that trick is rendered useless.
first of all your in the wrong forum, Second students should be using there cellphone in class. third why don't you google on android developement. Learn basic and then wrok from there. kthanksbai
Wrong forum
Likely wrong intention
Better learn development but build something else

Well really, just follow the rules. You'll learn it's just better that way in the end. If you put as much thought into your homework as getting around the rules you may be able to make this app one day! And if you do, I've got a better idea than button presses you may not be able to execute in time. Instead, have 2 lock screen passwords. 1 that is your legit unlock, the other does the history wipe when input then unlocks. That way it seems like you're playing along with authority demands.

ok so ive always thought of myself as a tech savvy person, i mean come on i use to own a cell phone and pager company. so when i mad the dissension to root my phone i thought "no big deal, do lots of reading follow the simple steps and Google what ever else i need to know." well i wish i would of kept to that plan! first i didn't make a copy of my phone before i started so im sure you guys know all the problems that comes along with that more than i do.
second i live out of town with no internet connection so that means im stuck looking for info and trying to fix my phone from my office at work... needless to say i have accomplished nothing at work for a week now...
and third almost all of the info on the web is all based on using a pc, om a mac user...
so im asking for this... will someone anyone who knows what they are doing please be willing to take the time and talk to me over the phone pretty much just to help be get a better understanding of what i really need to do... i have Heimdall and a few roms and gapps already installed on my computer and im thinking this should be something we could handle fairly quick...
i work from 3pm to 11pm mon-fri standard pacific time and would have the biggest block of free time after 7 and before 10
i know this is an odd request, but i miss my phone!!! please feel free to email me at [email protected] for on this post
thank you all so much for even taking the time to read this and understanding the frustration of this process...
