Hi! I'm quite a noob when it comes to ROM development specifically for my Desire Z, so I'm hoping some people can clarify my doubts, and cure me of my sleepless nights!
Can I just download a distribution from the Android Developers website and use it on my DZ? If not, then how do I compile ROMs then?
Thanks in advanced!
Don't know anything about rom development, but you might want to have a look at this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Compile_CyanogenMod_%28Linux%29

Thanks for the reply, the link is on how to compile Cyanogen, but it doesn't say how to compile clean build Android for our DZ.

I don't think there can be a true "clean" build of Android -- to get the camera, etc to work there have to be drivers in place.
You can get close, though. Download any "AOSP" (Android Open Source Project) ROM and you have it. You can probably also make Cyanogen into something close to AOSP just by not including the extras CM provides.

I apologize if this has been answered but I have been searching and have not been able to find a response.
Is it possible for me to install the stock froyo build on my htc evo? Presumably, I would be able to but would flash the evo radio's vs the N1.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance for the help!
CM6 would be AOSP Android Froyo. Not sure if its the exact same thing as what the N1 has but it is stock Android.
Follow the guides in the Development section to root and NAND unlock your phone, then on the step where you flash a ROM use CM6 (which is also in the development section) and there you go. Make sure to flash the appropriate radios and a third party kernal if you want.

Go to the Evo 4G Android Development sub section and loom up CyanogenMod, it's stock FroYo with some goodies, just please read the install instructions before trying anything.
Appreciate the help. Not sure what you mean by AOSP? Also, instead of the CM roms (which are very good, I have used them on the N1), is there any way to get the official google or stock froyo build running on the evo?
I apologize if I misunderstood your suggestion.
Thanks

AOSP = Android Open Source Project.
CM basically takes the Android source adds hardware support for the devices they develop for and compile it. So it's not as easy as getting stock/AOSP Froyo and running it.
Would this have the Android market and official Google apps?

No. It doesn't come with them, but the good news is there is a separate download called gapps.zip to flash that will give you official google apps and market.
I take no credit for this other than building it and uploading it. This is 100% based off of code from Team Douche. Special thanks to cyanogen, Zinx, and Kmobs for giving us such great code to work with. Special thanks to Gridlock32404 for all the help he's provided me with android in general.
This is basically the same as the CM7 Alpha roms, but with all of CMParts and CM Settings removed.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16719351/gapps-newmarket.zip (gapps)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11228290/recovery.img (ClockworkMod 3 Recovery)
If you haven't already been running a CM7 Alpha, you'll need to manually flash a new recovery image since 2.3 based roms are not compatible with the current recovery found in ROM manager.
Download the recovery image posted above, and flash using fastboot.
$adb reboot bootloader
$fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img (replace path/to/ with the actual path to where you downloaded the recovery image)
If you'd rather flash the recovery from the emulator follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=361
once you have the new recovery, install the ROM through recovery as you normally would. You'll need a full wipe. After flashing the ROM, you'll need to flash the gapps posted above. Thanks to Grankin01 for putting those together.
Also, if you decide to go back to a froyo rom, you'll need to flash the old recovery. If you need help flashing the recovery,
check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905
Also, if you are having trouble with adb/usb drivers check out the below thread by b16a2smith
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896206
Known Issues for this ROM are the same as all of the current CM7 alpha builds.

Wow thanks for this. And this is the real deal, proper credits and all. Unlike some previous ones. Will be flashing this one soon.
After initial boot, this ROM boots quickly. I did attempt to open the wifi calling, just opened and closed. Gonna load the rest of my apps and test the camera

The lack of credit is why I put this together in the first place.
So if the issues are the same and what not and its just cm parts removed, what are the benefits of this vs cm7 ...?

well obviously its for people who want a more original themed GB rom instead of having all the CM stuff.
what can we expect from this ROM that would differ from the other CM7 thread? i dont understand the necessity of fragmentation on a particular ROM unless each iteration has its own unique features that sets it apart from the next...

So basically this is just like the first CM Alpha that was released, but just with recent stuff? I remember the first Alpha had no CM stuff.

It is very simple. This is a close to AOSP ROM with CM base and Framework, just all the CM stuff removed. So you get a more pure Gingerbread feeling ROM like the Nexus S shipped with. Obviously it is not compiled on the original source yet but you get the same kind of experience.
Everybody has different taste. This is more of a very light ROM

from what I've read it appears it would be like Running eVil D's MT4G-G2 ROM as opposed to CM 6.1.2 RC2.
GingerBaked and MT4G-G2 = Pure Vanilla Android
CM 7 and CM 6.1.2 RC2 = Tweaked / Modded Vanilla Android
So what does this thing mean for us and getting a stable cm port?

What are the two ROMs in the Dev section of this forum (the DARKSIDE CM7 Hybrid and another nameless one)? I'm fairly new to this, so I apologize if this comes off as naive.

Someone downloaded the compiled CM7 build linked in the dev section, and modified it, just like the devs take the OEM roms, modify them, and flash them (think of the alpha as a stock Samsung rom, and think of one of the other CM7 roms as a rom from adt or team kang, just without making the original much better [not knocking team kang or adt in anyway]).

Nothing is prime time ready (imo), but your best best is to work with Evervol (and look in the thread over in Development). Takes less tweaking to build, since they still support the inc. CM takes a bit of tweaking since they dropped support, and I haven't had the time to update my instructions on how to build it.

Ok Thanks Bro
it's a very know fact that maximum of the devices from Indian brands never have access to these well known rooms while they have good specifications. Why is it so?
yes Roms from other devices are ported to the Indian brand mobiles but it doesn't match my expectations.
If these senior respected developers can somehow show some love to Indian brand mobiles, it would be great.
It's my personal thinking. Yours can differ.

Ya bro.. same thoughts over here,,
specs are gud..
and i wanna run cm or paranoid on my q1010i too but no way...
im sick of miui or vibe or lewa ....
hope someone will help us...

see..
what i have understood is.. basically custom roms are developed for whom, whose official roms are pathetic and have loads of bloatwares.
indian brands do not take load to customize the rom and barely put few bloatwares resulting low cost mobile fones.
these are stock androids are i feel are very stable wrt performance. :good:
we only have option to play with launchers :fingers-crossed:

Yes I agree. It also provide performance improvement options. Optimization on various things and near possibility to do any things. Problem is we need some sources based on CM or PA to start with MTK devices. Hopes one day will have it. Then we will start it.

Mtk devices are in market from so long and still nothing happened.... Still waiting..
The main problem!
CM, Paranoid, AOKP, AOSP are some great ROM's indeed! However, I believe Mediatek does not release it's kernel source, in other words, It's kernels are 'Closed Source'. Cyanogenmod requires a custom kernel to be built and compiled, for that, complete kernel source is needed. A few leaked sources for MT6589 made first CM possible. Until MTK changes it's mind, its very much impossible to see all those quality ROM's for our handsets. I also think that there is a petition on change.org, requesting Mediatek to make everything open source. You can sign it, I have signed it as well.
