Guys & Gals,
We really should start focussing on android on NAND for us blackstone users.
I will be glad to help and I will be updating this post and the below on my progress.
The Rhodium have now fixed their panel issues they were experiencing on nand thanks to ACL.

(BLACKSTONE USERS DO NOT FLASH ANY FILES FROM THE ABOVE LINK - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)
As I have said beforehand we will need to trace the NAND memory access points via haret to input the correct values into the tinboot source before compiling, once that has been done we can create a nbh with a kernel and all other relevant files to initialise tinboot. I will have a crack at that so that we at least get tinboot loaded but I may need some help from willing developers if any.
Once we have tinboot sucessfully initialised we will then move onto the more daunting task's of booting the userland and initialising hardware as at the moment winmo is doing that for us.
Welcoming any developers wishing to help.
Best Regards,

good idea man
but sorry i didn't have any knowledge a bout that
all what i can say is goooo ahead man
I think that's a great ideea but first we need the nand map which is hard and tricky to obtain . After that, it will be a piece of cake .
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Go go go
Devs, please do this. Sorry to say I dont have any usefullness in the project. Maybe as a tester
Well, for now there's no Blackstone specific development (at least @ #htc-linux) because there are no devs with our phone. Camro and OliWe went AWOL and even people with much less skill are not active at the moment.
Anyway if we'll find just one person interested in doing this - I'm happy to help (testing/building/research/tracing).
maybe we could ask other devs to help us
like neopeek???..............

I'm sure they will help us, but we REALLY need someone with Blackstone & coding skills to do NAND boot. Other devs are busy fixing bugs in "common" kernel or their specific devices.
BTW. Neopeek won't help because he builds Android system and we need a Linux kernel guys.
If I can get hold of DZO things can progress further hopefully. I will keep you all updated.

maybe
as we are not developers
and neopeek webiste has a developer forum which we can see at the moment
but he might be working on it with other developers
i hope
of course you could always ask neopeek . Maybe some other guys over at neopeek can help you.
NAND for our blackstones would be awesome . I'd love to test it when it's done. Will be keeping an eye on this thread for sure.

me too
yes we all would love that but we need a lot of kernel level development,porting,hacking and testing before we could move to NAND.
yh but since other android build have not been updating yet
maybe of the holidays or gingerbeard
looks like the updates might come next year (january i hope)
if some one get nand to work i will donate him really if the first person with full functions work with nand ill donate the person 20 usd!
Would be great if Magldr or LK worked with our Blackstones. I don't know how much work it would be since I'm not a hardcore programmer. Right now a lot of focus is on HD2 and Rhodiums though. Hope devs are not forgetting Blackstone.

Hi,
I want to build my own ROM, but does anybody has an tutorial for me.
It's totally new for me so..
If anybody has an tutorial to make a HTC Desire ROM, please share it.
Thank you
You've just gotta play about with it, start with editing an existing ROM and then do more to it
Thanks for your quick reply.
But I don't know how to start with it.
Building a ROM is totally new for me.

Hello Guys
Please I want to ask of Devs on this Forum to help port Some More ROMs for us
Example
Miui 7 I badly need this ROM, unique with alot of themes
Hydrogen Os on One plus Two
The ROM Ain't the Best out their but it got Good Tweaks for users ..
Please I badly need just this two Roms .
Devs Your Audience is Badly needed here thanks
No Devs Here???
Dude you think porting is easy lol
Can anyone please provide a proper, elaborate guide for compiling roms for miatoll tree? Have time in lockdown and eager to learn the process.
The guides on google are way too generic or backdated. I guess it'll help many people like me if some DEVS took the time to write a guide which shall in turn, in my opinion promote more development.
This video can help you, checkout this one and Part-2 also. The person compiled ROM for Mido (I guess). But you don't have to do much changes and many things will be same as mido.
