1) what are the tools i needed?
2) what knowledge i need to know?
I'm tired of having to switch roms just for the sake of themes released by those awesome designers. I think i needed to start doing it myself. so anyone would willing to point me to the correct direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dear community,
We have our Defy section which is totally awesome. Now it's time to begin the real work here.
I wanted to spend some time with the Defy Android development and wanted to know if we could gather information about the bootloader, kernel and the bootstrap recovery here.
I just want to know how Motorola tries to secure their phones and how we could work around the protection.
Every helpful post is welcome. Let's see if we can beat Motorola and make the Defy one of the best phones around (or is it already?...no doubt is awesome!)
Best regards,
DunkDream
This site should be of some use.
https://www.droid-developers.org/
lots of info about motorola devices and all about the boot processes, hardware ect. Hope this helps.
And see here. Custom recovery is on the way along with custom roms.
I didn't understand if for the defy there is still a bootloader problem to solve or if it's a question to find cookers who have time to make a defy custom rom...Anybody have some fresh news?
Trust me since Handler got his defy you will have a custom recovery and roms. He does good work, just be patient
He does seem confident about it I sure hope to get froyo on this rugged little beast

Yes, at least for C2DM capability!
I'll buy a beer to Handler when he suceeds!
anyone know where can i find a Tmo defy sbf?
It seems that Handler already started to work with the Motorola Defy.
Hope he realizes that the Defy is such a great phone.
I'm sure that he'll do it...he'll get us a receovery method and custom Roms.
AND he can be sure to get a donation if he succeeds. That's a point of honour.
Hope then good news from Handler...
Anyway this is my very firt android device I know few things about cooking in the android world I cooked some winmo roms and I don't know if there are similarities. Many of you have some experience in this field so I ask you an advice on where I could start to learn the structure of the android roms and the tools to use...

Just a few links i put together on my blog to help android newbies. Some of it may be a bit basic but it has got some useful stuff there.

Thanks I'll have a look at it I am a bit curious to learn more on Android...
I remember doing a TP (test point) helped to flash cracked bootloader on my older Motorola...
Can it apply to our Android device?

Hi,
i guess no one will do it!
Maybe there is no interesst in cooking own bootloader to kill closed booloader from moto.
Hacking the bootloader will also be easy for hackers (perferct hackers )
But no one do it.
it seems all people with the capacity to hack the bootloader aren't interested in doing it.
So I'm interested in making/editing my own ROMs and making themes, where would be the best place to start reading up upon this? I know where to find a kitchen (There are a few on these forums) but i'd like to know where i can find information thanks in advance peeps
Could someone compile a list of ROMs and give a brief description of what they are known for/ pros & cons?
Anyone that does this will be a hero in my books as I have been searching for days and can't seem to settle on a ROM.

There's a start. If you click on the rom, most give a description in the features section. There's a thread in the dev section where someone is listing them.
There it is > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034785
You have as much of an ability to do this as anyone else. You could be your own hero .
And as someone that has flashed most of the ROMs on here, I can tell you no amount of reading about them is going to satisfy your need flash for yourself. Trial and error my friend.
Ok So I Still Have A D710 And Wanted To Make A Rom For it I Have Rooted Every Phone I Got and Installed Roms An Stuff But Wish Someone Could Help Me In Making A Rom If I Do Get The Help Specially On Porting I Will Try To Bring Lollipop To This Device If I Could Get Help In Developing a Rom I Would Be Happy Thanks
Is Their Anyone Out Their Who Can Help Please I Really Would Like To Try Lollipop On This Device Anyone Please Help Me on Developing I Have No Experience
It's far too complicated for anyone to walk you through. If you don't know how to get started, your first step is most likely to get started on a Computer Science degree with an emphasis on programming.
