Good luck ^__^
I'd be glad to be your guinea pig for anything you might make.
Hope you can join up with our developers like Carpe to get us CM9!
I sense more of a lull for the next while and custom roms will pick up when ics gets released.

Hello,
I have been around here from phone to phone and currently have the LG Nitro HD and the wife has this captivate glide and its seems to be a great phone but alomost no development right now. so if you need help in testing anything let me know. I am also starting to read up on doing custom roms maybe we can get together. and learn.

Hi Guys,
So I looked in the general android development and DINC development but did not really find much. Basically I am looking into getting into Android Development. I just graduated Clarkson University yesterday and am going to work for Procter and Gamble and am going to have a lot of free time nights/weekends and want to get into this. As for my coding experience, I do not have much in java, however, I have taken a few comp sci classes in high school and have used MatLAB and LabVIEW a lot during college as a Mech E. So I am very familiar with coding and the logic behind it, just a matter of learning a new language.
I have started by downloading the Android SDK (just updated to 2.3) and have been doing a few of the tutorials they have on developers.android site such as Hello World, however this seems more geared to developing apps, which I do have a few ideas for. But what I would like to get into right now is some ROM development for the DINC as I have a few ideas for this too and would like to start with this.
So I was wondering if anyone could give some device on how they got started? Just pulled the code from HTC and opened it up and started looking around? Do a lot of you use Eclipse for development as they seem to suggest for apps? Is there any good guides to getting into ROM development as I have not quite found any? Also does anyone have any ideas and need some help work on things, I think this would be a good way to learn.
Thank you,
Brendan

Just realize it is a lot of work. You can start from pure source, or from CM, or CVPCS. Starting from pure source will give lots of problems but will probably teach you a lot about the system. Either way those links should be of some assistance. Look at CM device setup to see how device setups work. He has a working setup for most devices.
Alright! Another one comes aboard. Good luck man, keep us posted, ask questiions here cuz most are very knowledgeable and willing to help out. Dont give up, get us something 2.3 and very much thanks in advance for doing what you do.
Glad to see a thread like this. I have been interested in doing ROMs for a long time now but didn't really know where to start. This should get me running
If you run into any problems don't hesitate to contact me. You can reach by twitter at @linuxmotion or pm me for an email. Though I am relatively new, I can surely help if the you want some. Hope those links helped

I wanna try to root my sisters Flipside, and I wanna know if there's any custom roms that can flashed onto this phone?
Did you ever find any? or have any luck with any other roms?
Nothing out as of the moment but there are at least 2 ppl I know of that are currently working on builds so something should be coming in the VERY near future!
Good to hear. I was honestly starting to think that nobody was ever going to create a rom for this phone.
That is good news. I look forward to seeing what is developed. This phone is such a slow pig.

I lol'd. Slow pig is an understatement. I can have a good build ready for testing if we can get a newer clockworkmod working. Any help would be appreciated towards that goal.

Thanks a lot for your time and your effort!
Awesome, feefeeboomboom/isaac. The flipside stinks on 2.1. There is no storage space. I really really want 2.2 or 2.3 to be able to store my apps on the SD card.
I hope it you are making progress and that you stay with your GF and that she lets you play with her phone.
Any Updates?
I'm willing to help
Never deved on an android phone before, but I'm a linux admin, and I love doing custom hacks on these things. If I can be of help, let me know. Trying to see how to get the ball rolling on setting up a CM6 version for this phone right now. I'm pretty sure with the limited hardware that this phone has, CM7 would be a huge overkill -- if it would run at all.

Well a cm7 ROM was just realeased for the Motorola Backflip...you really think it would be too much on the Flipside?

Well, you caught me. I actually think it would run fine, but it is much easier to use the same kernel and just mod everything else. You can run 2.2 on 2.1 kernels, but you can't run 2.3 on 2.1 or 2.2. So, with that said, it's much easier for me to just take a current image, strip out the bloat, and give everyone a new version based on 2.2 that works out of the box than finding all the missing kernel modules for 2.3 and building it from there.
In short, I'm lazy, and I want to have a newer release out faster.
haha oh ok no sweat! Sorry wasn't tryin to call you out...just curious. Anything that can be done would be great! Hope you get something going soon!
I was thinking of maybe getting the flipside on te insurance program (from a backflip) but it seems like you guys are worse off than us. i cant seem o find source code on moto's site... do you guys know where it might be?
Any progress on a CM7 port? I just got my GF a flipside since she can't deal with on screen keyboards....and she previously had a backflip with CM7 lol
so I've been visiting recently on this and the cyanogen mod forums and it doesn't look like anyone has hit gold yet, or have I missed something somewhere and all the cool kids are having fun with their flipsides and I'm out in the lurch?
My wife too got this phone because of the keyboard...If no development comes soon...I think I might just try and sell it to whatever sucker wants to buy it and then head on over to Canada (eh?) and purchase a G2...
maybe soon...
Motorola is beta testing froyo right now. We may soon have a valid froyo image for the awesome development teams to work with.
Good day!
I am new to this site so thanks for being here!
I was wondering what are people's Favourite RoMs are at this point?
I've tried a few and am really excite about these custom Roms but can't decide what and why I like each one. The WoW factor is huge right now. I like the Inc3ption V1 which was my first. Then I tried V2 which is my fav so far I think? Sorry to 'The Collective' but I changed my Bootanimation...I found one from google I was trying to change on my Rooted Stock GB but was never able to find a way to use the bootanimation.zip. Thanks to Dman for putting the custom boots in his rom! The animation I used was the android guy pissing on the apple symbol! Classic!!!!
I've just installed ItsMeBdon stock ICS and am happy about it as well!!!
I can't seem to find the 'Thanks' buttons? Am I so new I can't do it yet?
I am a Hack implementer for most devices I own and have never once Bricked a device. Would love to learn to do the hacks myself but with family life hard to find time.
I am here to test and make my device MINE so I am here to help where ever I can
I just wanted to say hi and thank everyone for their long hours of pure pleasure! Trying at times but still fun in our eyes!

Why did you open a new topic to this question? Here is what you looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621350
I've read the thread and it's nice BUT as I am a new member I am unable to post to the Forum until I am a trusted user. So I felt I was right to not post anywhere else except a new thread?
Sorry if I offended or broke any rules???
While I have your attention, Which Rom are you running?
Been playing with roms all day. I really like JayJay ICS and most likely staying with it. I REALLY like the RAM usage on Inc3ption v2 as I can get it down to under 150mb?
Again, If I am doing something wrong, Please let me know where else I should be asking my questions.
Hope all is well!

Don't worry about it !
I'm currently using lite ROM with the custom kernel and it works fine but i think we're all waiting for dman to release his aosp/aokp jb build
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
My favorite so far has been jayjayjoker's Krionz rom as far as ICS, and I beleive I'm on a stock kernel. I've not been able to figure out the inability to control processor speeds though when using any ICS rom and kernel currently available. I can't be certain if the governors have any affect, and i can not lower the clock manually below 768mhz. I'm trying to go back because of this, but I'd say my current favorite for Gingerbread is the Osimood rom.
My favorite is my ROM but when dman's new ROM comes its gonna be my choice.

I have Inc3ption running right meow because it's the only rom I completely setup and have a backup of. I've been playing around today withdman's alpha's as well. Got them installed and doin' what they do but still am unable to give feedback as I can't over in that section yet. Very interested in those developments!
Which build are you most excited for cm9 or aosp?
Thanks again to everyone out there for bringing joy to my day! My wife is really hating me playing with my phone all day instead of doing our laundry or putting up that tile! I'd much rather try and brick my phone! XD
7 more posts and I hit 10! does that I mean I xan then post in the development sec?
I guess it's only 6 with this one! XD

Go into the Meet and Greet sticky and introduce your self! talk to people and get to know these good folks here. we're all here as a community helping each other! don't forget to give thanks where it's due and sometimes donate to the devs that put their time and effort creating these roms for us! without them, our phones would be imprisoned to the carriers we use. Out of all the device forums I have seen, XDA Developers is by far the most informative and the people here make to feel right at home, even tho we live all over the world!
I'm definitely waiting for dman's cm9 myself but jokers rom is what I'm running with now and its cool stuff. I think I'm going to try a hand at theming for cm9... touchwiz is kind of gross.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
I am liking the look and feel of cm9. Think I'm gonna setup JayJay ICS today and make sure I have a backup of it as well...I like that I can add a custom bootanimations.zip or shoud I say sanim.zip for Inc3ption v2. When I removed the bootanimation.zip and sanim.zip v2 has a real cool plain android letters boot??? I can't seem to copy and paste it to JayJay by replacing the qmg's? It just shows Samsung Galaxy SII. Not really sure why it wont work, does it have something to do with using GB .qmg's on ICS?
Anyways, l'm OCD with checking for a new build for cm9 and can't wait to see Alpha-5 get past the boot...Not sure what I'm really doing but I even tried loading in the lite kernel after the booting locked and it didn't even show the boot animatin. It just skipped it all together and was flashing the time in the top right corner of the screen before it woud loop with the rumble.
Thanks again everyone for the advice, really looking forward to being able to post to more places soon.

Testing out my sig on xda's app...makin' sure dman gets his credit!

i just want to say first thanks to all who have supported me and what i do for all of this time i have been on XDA!
i was building some roms "updating" and installing Ubuntu 13.10 update at the same time. Then i cancelled the update. Now all my stuff is all kinds... of messed up. Nothing is syncing right and im not sure what got messed up so no idea how to fix it and i dont really want to spend the time trying. So as for now, i have decided to take a break from XDA (well deving, ill still be around commenting on this and that and flashing whatever,LOL)
As for the roms i currently have out, that i am maintaining, feel free to take over them but i urge u to please ask the main dev's of them for permission before u take it upon yourselves to do so! i didnt want to leave, having said nothing about it, just letting the roms fade away and everyone be like, "WHAT THE HELL!!!! wheres and update??!!" LOL! i will be back, hopefully pretty soon! but i want to buy a laptop and do this on there, instead of on my PC. it would just be better for me. so anyways!
thanks for the support! Hope to be building again soon! i know im gonna miss it!
