So with the Atrix about to be released it has me thinking. Will the features of the "portable laptop" be able to be ported and included in an EVO rom? I mean we have this HDMI out that basically does nothing and this would be PERFECT. So how hard would it be? Would a bounty help push for development? I know I would pay to be able to use my EVO as a portable computer.

ROM Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.

Didn't want you to miss this.
thanks Jacka$$. Considering it straddles the fence of being part of a rom and more of a technical question, it did not seem fitting to put it in the Q&A. Could this not be a ROM COMPONENT?
Mods feel free to lock or move. It will get no attention in the Q&A when it is really about a rom component.

That's a interesting topic but like the post above said it should be in Q&A and believe it or no there is developers checking those forums, I seen Calk posting in General and he is a developer and some others as well. Back to the topic the would be cool but at the same time I think too much for the evo for now I just wish we can get the new sense or gingerbread eatheir one would be good for the Evo

Can you rip toyota parts and throw em in a ford? For the most part, NO.
Just as you wouldnt be able to take moto stuff and put it into an HTC phone. Besides the atrix has hardware differences to allow that stuff.

This forum isnt called "development q and a". It's for developing things only.
I think I'm gonna build an evo rom and post it in the Windows phone 7 development forum. I mean what difference does it make, its a development forum right??

The only attention this post will get here is people telling you that it should be in Q & A. Either way, it doesnt belong here.

This posting is just wrong on every level:
1) It does NOT belong in the Development Thread.
2) Bounty Threads are 100% against xda rules.

This community is starting to sicken me. Stfu and let a mod move it, I'm sure they dont need a ton of tards saying OMG WRONG FORUM. Until then, answer his question or dont post at all. easy.
And as an answer to your question, no. It might be possible but I doubt anybody would attempt to do it. Not to mention the Atrix was made with the computer dock in mind.

You're welcome. I posted that for you because I figured you couldn't differentiate between questions and technical discussion.
Also, explain how this "straddles the fence" of being part of a ROM. I must have missed the part where you started porting this and writing code. My mistake.
No. You wouldn't. As great as software can be it can't make non-existent connections on the PCB board to appear out of no where.

There's room in the car, just throw the tire from the Toyota in the back seat.
But for the most part, no. Things like the launcher or moto apps most likely rely on frameworks only present in a rom built for the Atrix. You can't just rip frameworks from a totally different device, and slap it in another device and expect it to work.
I want to know if any of the Epic developers will consider making a sense 3.0 rom if the opensense sdk provides that possibility. I really don't want an EVO, but I have been in love with sense since I first saw it. Even though people wont admit it this phone is way better, it has stronger glass and is unbrickable since we have Odin. I'm probably not the only one that wants this too.
You should use search next time, it's only been discussed half a dozen times.
There is currently a developer working on it (the same one who is porting MIUI so it's not his only project) but there is a lot of work to be done so don't expect it to be any time soon.

This isn't directed at you xplus93. But, people must realize that there is no way other people can know that you've searched or not unless you state it. Then again, people shouldn't get so hurt when told they did something wrong. People like me and 063_xobx, are only trying to get the point across to make a better community.

it just annoys me that the first response to almost every thread I see is that somebody should have searched. I'm glad that somebody is working on this, and would you be able to provide some links to more information about it. This might even get me into actual development if it has a possibility of working and if I can get an evo to use while my epic is being used for development

Second "attempt" won't get anywhere, I'm not saying it to be harsh, but to be realistic, the OP doesn't have the necessary skills. It's not the same as "copy-paste" developing, it requires serious skills to write drivers for an entire rom.

Just providing the requested informations. Maybe together, they'll get some support, and get the "Sense Train" chugging. You know, it makes me wonder, has acs been trying to do this, and not made it public? They've done it before.
I was so beyond elated when I got my Galaxy Note 8 (N5110) last night... couldn't want to flash this puppy and ROM it with some Cyanogen loveliness; but to my incredible surprise, I can't find any custom ROMs that don't have the Touch Wiz crap on it. WTH? This tablet was highly rated and I know it's not abscure so I'm wondering why there's so little development on this little wonderous machine. Ideas? Links that I've missed? Winning lottery numbers? All are welcome.
instead of asking what are others plan on doibg for your tablet wouldn't it be morw productive to ask and learn how to do it yourself?
it seems rather rude to ask for someone else to donate their free time with no compensation.

There's already a few threads like this, so not sure there's a point to another one. Either way, there is CivX custom rom and kernel, but yes it's based on stock TW. Emwno is working on a cm10.1 port too, and beanstown was supposed to develop a custom rom but that has now been delayed. Hopefully he will do it though at some point in the future. Aside from that not many devs seem to have the device which is a shame because the Note 8 rocks.
nothing more annoying on XDA then someone complaining about the lack of free software...quick whining, and learn how to do it yourself, so you can spend endless hours of YOUR personal life creating something that people can post complaints about, request things that you dont put in the rom, and just generally expect you to spend all of your free time upgrading, and improving for them every time they want something..
I agree with you it does rock. Just xame from a Lenovo A2109 where there was a LARGE dev community but no support for Mac users. Thought for sure there would be a crap load of devs here given the Samsung brand and its answer to the iPad mini. Personally, I think its much getter then the mini even though I'm a Mac girl... note: not an Apple fangirl... just a best in class user.
Anyway, thanks for telling me what to look for and which developers to keep and eye out for. Its painful to read post after post and subsequently page after page trying to find answers to my questions. I do appreciate it.

First and foremost, this post wasn't about *****ing... it was asking a question and expressing puzzlement. Second of all, I asked no one to DO anything or develop anything for "my device". You added nothing useful or enlightening so who's the one *****ing now? Hint: it's not me!

For every ROM that has worked for me, I have donated monetarily. For one device, I actually BOUGHT a unit for development. I've been on this board for several years and have never asked for anything except answers to my questions.
Second of all, I'm a web designer/developer who donates LOTS of time to those who don't know or ask for help. I don't ask for compensation; I ask for them to carry the info forward. It seems rather rude for you to assume and judge rather then ask.

"puzzlement"? what are you puzzled about?
You've been a member here for SIX years; you know where the dev section is in this thread; the roms that are there are what we have at this point..
dont try to "veil" your complaint about so "little development" by saying you weren't complaining, just "asking a question"
We lose enough fantastic developers here when people start threads like this, so please don't encourage the few folks that are dev'ing for this device to leave as well..

Gentlemen please stop making personal attacks.
I am sure she knows where is the place to find a custom rom although she doesn't mean this.
So if there is nothing constructive to add in this thread then just don't post.

maybe I just misread your enthusiasm for the new tablet as cracking the whip on those hard working guys who do what thwy do and ask for norhing back. so If I mistook you excitement as a demand then I apologize.
the gnote 10.1 took a good while to get some dev work on it. for a good while all we had was root, which really wasn't bad at all. It's still not as active as say the s4 or gn2 development, but it still looks like qualiry work. I'd suppose it wouldn't be too hard to port a rom over, but then again what do I know, I ain't no dev.

I was under the impression you have to keep a lot of the Touch Wiz to keep the pen enabled. Otherwise it's just a generic 8" android tablet.

I was very pleased that rooting was so easy. I had to unlock the bootloader in the HTC was a flippin' pain in the arse so I was THRILLED to learn we didn't have to do that on the Samsung. So, clearly I'm very glad to have root... and have deleted a lot of the Samsung crapware as I'm sure most of us have as well. Though I do have to ask... what is a "gnote"? I had a GTab once which was actually the Viewsonic GTablet. However, I've never heard of the GNote...
I'm not a software/hardware dev either... just web... and so wish I had time to learn. I'd be all over it like a gnat on poop!

Isn't the Touch Wiz on regular non-Note Samsung devices? For example the Galaxy II & III phones? Though I am just guessing as this is my first Samsung Android device.

yep, pretty much all samsung devices, except for the nexuses and the s4 developer ed have touch wiz. the big downside of using cm or aokp is that you'll lose pressure sensitivity with your pen (or at least that's how it was a few months ago and i haven't really check up on it).
I think its fine the way it is....

Hi all, sorry if this is an old question, but what are the chances of the G4 on AT&T being rooted eventually? I'm really interested in this phone and I may get it tonight, but I'd really like to know if there will be root availability in the future. Thanks so much for any responses! This looks like a great step up from my Galaxy S4!

I wouldn't say it's ignorant at all. I'm just wondering if there's any hope at all compared to something like the Galaxy S6.
its pretty ignorant IMHO....definition of ignorant: "lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated" - - -asking a question like "the chances of the g4 being rooted" - do you want a percentage that is completely estimated or would you like me to call LG and AT&T and ask them what are the chances of it being rooted? you could research dev and try to root it yourself ....
i would say theres a 55% chance being that the intl version has been unlocked and rooted....
FYI, people still ask about the chances of Galaxy Note 4 being rooted, its been since September....you just have to sit tight and be patient or research dev and do it yourself
Again, I wanted to know if it was possible or if it's hopeless like the GS6. Sorry for trying to make an informed decision, I guess that makes some others salty.
Thank you for your answer, though. That's all I was looking for initially.
If you read around you would already have your answer
There's a root method for the AT&T S6, so why say it's hopeless? Duh.

Don't worry about salty people. They don't understand simple social etiquette. They think that the internet allows them to be callused and heartless.
I would base there answer on how popular the phone is and the demand for root from the community. If those two things are high, the chances are good there will be a root method available. Doesn't promise that the method will be simple or in a timely manner but anything is possible with XDA. Or like the previous posts, if you're adventurous, you can try to do it yourself.

It is quite a big job. I think if you want to encourage a Dev to look into it, you are going to need to come across a bit less rude and say a bit more than "..port it..". XDA is not a place for you to order Devs around. Don't clog up the forums with single line demands please.

"Please Port it"
A 100 or more times then a dev will feel happy and he will port it. Funny.
He is just giving his suggestion. If any dev like it he will port (On his own will). If a dev don't like it. He will not.
So according to theory of general discussion, he is not ordering a dev to port it. All he is doing is requesting (as he already said "Please)...

If a dev wished to port it, then a dev would port it, asking for someone to port it is hardly enough encouragement for a developer to port a whole rom. That was my point.
