I would love to take the time to learn as well. I use to theme for my blackberry curve years ago and there were some nice tools to make it easy to compile them after completion. I have not taken the time to research the tools needed to theme for android yet and if some one posts up some links I would love to get started as well. If not I will probably be looking into it when I get a couple of days open to dive into it. Hope someone can help you out JehC, maybe if you get it down you can pass your knowledge on to me.
Well of course I will, I'm always open to helping people

I am curious as well, JehC. Like I said somewhere else, stock Sense gets boring after a while. It starts to get the same with everything.

Good luck m8, report back on your progress.
Until I get time to actually dive into making a theme, I have been tinkering with UCCW and am currently using it like this:

Maybe after the holidays and I get settled into my new job I will take some time to learn the more intricate parts of "theming".

How does an HTC Flyer ROM sound? Well too bad. It doesn't work well.
The apps don't fit well, the camera doesn't work and I've not really bothered trying anything else.
I'm positive I'll need to mess with the framework.
Details;
Mix of Virtuous Unity (framework and lib files and stuff) and the Flyer ROM for the DHD (apps and base ROM).
Launcher actually rotates! Although it don't fit right.
Apps - don't even ask. Tonnes of Force Closes and shiz.
Put simply, I'm posting this thread to raise epic hype. Since I won't have much time for this till Sunday/Monday night. I'll maybe post what I have as a proof of concept, but till then not much can happen.
Ah balls it soft rebooted....
Meh. Enjoy the dream peeps, enjoy the dream.
Stuff I need to fix - Soft keyboard, app sizes, framework, strings, setup wizard, probably the settings app, and loads moar.
Mind you, I have it. You don't. TROLOLOLOL!!
Reserved for stuff.
RESERVED FOR MOAR STUFF!!
Also 1200th post.
Balls I meant 1100. Meh.
Good luck. I look forward to trying this. If you need anyone to test anything during development I'm happy to help. I have a very boring job which gives me loads of spare time to mess around with my phone.

Testing? Nah not yet. I need to make the phone at lease a little usable. IE test all teh functions and stuff. Then next on the list would be making all the apps fit. Which I was gonna leave to the dev of the DHD Flyer port
If you know anything about resizing the apps, or editing frameworks (although I don't know which ones and what to change), thats what I need help with right now.
I don't particularly believe in testing, I'll release my WIP when I'm slightly happy with it, and then perhaps use beta testers for a final release.
I may actually mess with this today, but after that its a wait till Sunday/Monday till I can really start. Got cadets tonight then I'm going away with them from Friday night to Sunday sometime. XD
I also love how every ROM I post gets like 1 star, compared to the 4/5 stars the rest of the forum has.
Cheers community! I'll remember that so that my next ROM doesn't come here, clearly you don't want it.

Since you are a developer may be you can contact jerdog he is the moderator..regarding ICS I think they are building a base so when Samsung releases the code, or leaks rom , they can build roms faster...there are two parts as far as i understand one is kernel development and one is rom and ril etc..SteadyHawkin is working on kernel and Viperboy is working on the other part i think, there are other developers too like Calkulin,Phantom etc I am not listing everyone...but you can talk to them about your past experience and may be they can let you know how you can be a part of their development team,,I am not a developer so can not tell you more...But I will tell you they are all very smart and good guys..
Closing this thread after cleaning out all of the junk. The OP's question has been answered.
Do you all seriously not understand what it means to NOT troll? You have the trolling down to a science.

Over the last 24 hours I've had a few friends and beta testers test out a ROM that I've put together over at tincandroid.com and I've been told that this might be of interest to some people over here at XDA because is fast and looks great. I'm willing to share this BUT I've seen a few people post ROMs in the past only to be trash talked and I really dont' have time for that SO I want to know ahead of time
This ICS ROM is based of AOKP M4 and has a few more features that I've added for performance and a better look to it. If there's interest, I'll post it...if not then I'll just keep it on tincandroid.com
Here are some screenshots from my thread over at tincandroid.com.....

Yes. For sure post it. It would be nice to see what parts are a WIP and what's working as it should.
you got my support.
besides, most ppl on this forum are itching to flash something new just to satisfy their flasholism
From this article it seems to be the anti-cm ROM

Some pretty well known devs building it.

I wouldn't call it anti-CM, but it sounds pretty cool... Especially with those devs working on it.

I'm highly interested in seeing what can come of this. i also wonder if dastin or any other E4GT developers are going to try and get it running on our devices.
Seeing what Cyanogen has been doing recently with licensing contributed code and attempting to monetize it really is refreshing to see these devs who have done so much for the entire Android community come together and try and pick up the pieces, and put the community first and foremost.
They have actually added a thread for the ROM already (in Custom ROM Central) with Q&A and General, it also has a Feature Development section... They are going fully open with it and I think that is awesome. They already have an impressive list of features like multi window and multi workspace. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on what's going on there.
Here is the feature request page-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481825
I just finished reading up on it and saw something about multi app windows for aosp I was mind blown!
I haven't made any announcements yet but I'm going to look at this for the Sprint S4.
Slick_rick is already working on it for the N2 so it's the best place for me to start on it.
Might as well get ChameleonOS back on track too.
Unfortunately, Omni will not be available for our device until they can incorporate the support for unified kernels. I tried and failed miserably lol.

I don't think it was cm/kernel related, I'll have to see if I can track it down again, but I'm pretty sure it was on their end that would botch something. Going on the hunt for it now lol.
OmniROM looks sooo nice. I would love to have it on this device!

With as many roms here, you can have a new phone every week if you want
e4gt
That's correct, loving this phone for over 2 years now, it can change looks in minutes, it calls, texts, takes great pics and does everything a newer phone does, but a bit slower. I can live with that...
I'm hoping that someone wants to take up the task of porting AOSPA 4.0+ from the GSM One to us Verizon variants.

Download the zip. Unpack it. Delete the getprop portion of the updaterscript. Flash it and see what happens. The mount points match our vzw...should work.
I could try doing it, I used to back in the samsung stratosphere days. lol
Don't expect anything special.

I'm surprised that you haven't tried it yourself. You've been in the community longer than many of us, and have a pretty large collection of devices it seems. Not trying to be sarcastic at all. Just figured you might try porting it yourself, for your use; and if it rocks you could always share it with us. Good luck! You can do it!!:good:

If it was an Xperia Play, it would have been ported in an instant.
Still learning quite a bit and have given it a few attempts.
So far, I can boot it up and everything else works fine, but can't get a signal.
I also don't have the same amount of free time I used to

I've got a couple builds of this here somewhere.
If I can find them and they run like I remember, maybe I will post one up.
I just recall building it and thinking, this sure is pretty vanilla for PA.
In other words, it's pretty basic stock Kitkat right now, with very few extras.
But like I said, if I can find it and it runs like I remember, maybe I will post it up, or maybe it's time I make a fresh build.
Will have to see what kind of time I have...lot going on right now or I would say I will post for sure.
I've also got an IOAP build I was considering posting if there is interest in such a thing...
