I can`t understand WHY you BUY a HD when you want to look like iPhone ?
Even the iPhone is cheeper one so Just Buy one iPhone and you will have all "I" Things on
@tsalta.... if i like the iphone, was not on this forum... I DONT UNDERSTAND how a guy with this language, became a "senior member"...
It was a program( like iFonz, WAD...etc) of enthusiasts for enthusiasts of people on this forum.
I think you need to appreciate and respect everyone"s work....if you understand me....

Blackberry 6 style ROM possible?

As the title states, is there a possible way of porting over a similiar Blackberry 6 styled ROM over? Although I am not a fan, the MIUI ROM is extremely popular and has an i*honeish feel to it and in some instances, can even be made to look like one.
I know there are theme's (not very good one's in my opinion) available on the Market, but i'm talking about having a similiar interface as that as what you would see on the new Torch, not just icons.
I'm currently running Myn's warm two point two Z beta and love this site as well as my DINC for it's awesomeness, but being an ex BBerry user, I think this would seriously present a challenge for some DEV out there looking for one and would be greatly appreciated by many on this site being that many have made the jump over the Android from BBerry.
Maybe i'm crazy and maybe this thread gets deleted, but there would certainly be nothing like this if created. Just a thought!
I think that this could certainly attract new users to rooting and ROM flashing, but as a recovering BB addict, I might have taken a lot longer to find all the other great ROM's which leverage all that Android can be...

I'd have to agree. My take on it is that if you really, really want the crackberry interface, then you should own a crackberry. Our Dinc's aren't iPhones, and they're not BB's. Trying not to be sounding rude, but maybe you bought the wrong phone?
I came to Android from BB, and have had them for years. At some point you just have to move on. Kicking and screaming maybe

I have MIUI because I for the longest time wanted an iPhone (getting one in Feb.), but theres nothing wrong with wanting. There isn't a phone on VZW running bb 6 currently, and simply wanting a phone that appears to look like bb 6 is what he wants. There isn't a WP7 on VZW and yet people make those themes and you all aren't *****ing at them.
Sorry man, there isn't one right now, but if you found enough theming elements you could probably make a close copy. Good luck.
Sidekick, thanks for backing me up. But in reality fellas I was simply posting the thread to see if there was any interest in pursuing development for such a ROM.
Even though I came from BBerry I dont actually want my awesome DInc to perform or be one for that matter, but you can't deny this wouldnt be a challenge to anyone wanting a change in developing ROM's.
This site is awesome and so is the work our Dev's do day in day out. Having said that, I dont want an iphone nor bberry, just simply presenting a challenge to my fellow colleagues

I don't know why you would want to disgrace your phone with a Blackberry rom. Blackberry OS is horrible. Only good thing I could see is it would actualy be on good hardware for once...

MIUI is soo popular considering it is an iPhone copy. I don't see why a proper WP7 or BBerry 6 ROM wouldn't be a hit. It's all about trying out new things and what not. Best of all, this would seriously represent such a challenge to any Dev out there and that is the reason we all love XDA right, because they do crazy things possible. I simply was throwing the idea out there to hear people's feedback on it. I love my DInc and wouldn't trade it for anything else, maybe except for the new Thunderbolt!

Next time be polite you don't get anywhere with that right now Google is your friend
yea, i thought he was alittle smug myself.
i am new to this also,but i reaserched for three days,saved web sites,and printed out instructions. in the end i have a rooted evo running cm7 with working hdmi mirroring.
the answers are out there,you just have to look!!!!
I'll just leave this here and let you guys argue it out lol. This is on the HTC Desire but it's the same UI across the board for Cyanogen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5PxgXy_mb0&feature=fvwrel
I understand you are a noob and I don't mean this in a condescending way but research really is your best friend. Like ccollins102 said, do some reading and learn what those "techy" words mean. They are just speaking in the language of the land. I'm no great tech guru but I have learned more by hours of reading than most I am sure.
To explain what Cyanogen Mod is go to the wiki page. Most of the tech words are defined. It's essentially AOSP or Android Open Source Project. Most of the brands (HTC, Samsung, Motorolla ect...) put their own UI over vanilla(basic) Android and ship it out as custom for their brand. HTC has what they have labeled "Sense", Samsung uses Touch Wiz, Sony is "Arc" I believe now(?) and so on. The only phones to my knowledge that don't are the Nexus. (don't flame me if that's wrong but I THOUGHT this to be true).
If you have questions post up, I'll try to help out. The actually CM thread is pretty helpful most of the time too. The website forum I never cared for though. I get lost in it lol.
Google is your friend
its not like im getting anywhere just asking or looking
thanks for the help

yea ive researched for about a week and alot of it contradicts its self
like example
in some cases i see that gps doesnt work good...but in other cases they say it works great
some people have something that looks like scence on cm7 and some that look like vanilla
ive seen that cm7 gets rid of spell correction because it is sence based built in the evo
i went to his wiki and it was confusing.....and his youtube had no videos on it
there are alot of different versions of cm7 by my understanding
the you tube link was a little help

-GPS generally doesn't work for most people without doing a fix. Some people get lucky, but it's a known issue. If it doesn't work for you, do the GPS fix. You can find directions for this pretty much everywhere.
-CM7 is not Sense, it never will be. It comes with ADW Launcher, but you can download another launcher if you'd prefer. There are themes available to make it look like Sense, and some people use LauncherPro Plus since it has Sense-like widgets. If you want to use ADW or another launcher, Colorize Widget has some good scrollable widgets. But by default, CM7 looks entirely different than Sense.
-CM7 does not get rid of spell check, but the default keyboard may not have it. You can always download a different keyboard from the market, or if you like the HTC keyboard, download the HTC IME Mod - you can find it on xda. Just do a google search.
My advice: Do a nandroid backup and flash it. If you don't like it you can always restore from your backup. It'll be like nothing ever changed. If you decide you want something close to stock, try Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo or MikFroyo. They'll be more familiar to you, and they're good starting points.
Also, I understand that you're new to this, but you still need to figure it out for yourself. Getting snappy with people that try to help you (even if they're trying to help you help yourself) is not going to help you understand. The best way to learn is to just do it. Manually boot into recovery - don't use ROM Manager. Do your own nandroid backup, wipe everything, then flash. When it boots, you'll feel like you have a new phone. And if you don't like it, go back to recovery and restore. If you have any problems with flashing, you can always ask on xda. As long as you treat people with respect, you'll get help.
Good luck!

thanks
but when people read what i ask and totaly think i didnt do something like look at google or something like that i dont need them to tell me to do something i already did and got no help from
some people cant learn by themself because its confusing for them
im sorry i need a little more help then the average person
and about being polite i was a asked a question then i get a sarcastic answer
is it only ok for you for some people to be like that and not others? because let me tell you that was uncalled for....
I didn't watch the whole video but most of it I did. That video is what you get with cm7. Like above said, you can have cm as a base and add any launcher you like.

[APP]Iphone Notifications Style Lite

As the name of the thread says. If you want iphone style notifications then download the app from the market. It is free and pretty sweet.
Video is below:
Link to the app is here
Enjoy and if you like the app hit the thanks
Credits to the developer who made it and to TechandMe who reviewed it.
just in case
If you didn't develop this application, you should't be asking people to hit your thanks button You're just here to provide a link to the Play store.
This is sweet, good job!

true and you do have a point sir. but i wonder if i did not come across this app while watching the review on youtube i wonder how many people on these forums would know about it..probably not a lot. just sharing like i said and giving people more options on how to customize their phones since we have the best OS in my opinion that lets us do this without the need to root.
Like the whole point of android..it is about sharing what we have and what we know..And i know about this app and wanted to share it with the people here. if it is in the wrong place by all means move it but i feel if people are going to share apps that they find on the market and want to share it with people then i think i am in the right place for it.
Using it..... would be using it for sometime until i get bored with this new stuff
nice find
thanks for finding/sharing

Is there anything left for development?

If someone has been here since the beginning I'd love to hear it all. xda-developers paint such a beautiful picture of the entire story.
Right now it sounds like I'm in a playground with all of the information I'd ever need. This thing came out in 2013, it's cracked open, exposed, fully handled. and it's cheap (now) encouraging development to the fullest extent.. I want to try my hand at something, troubleshooting, maybe porting a ROM, just something to get toes wet. I'm a 18 year old certified web developer, But I want to try this, it seems so cooool! lol. and If someone wants be kind enough to push me in the right direction, and maybe be a friend I can reach out to if I need it, that'd make my day! right now i'll be rooting it, I just laid my hands on it.
I like your idea! That's the way it goes. I would love to give you tips but I'm not into programming. But I want you to go on just like this, learn stuff yourself, make stuff yourself! Most people ask others to create them stuff and that sucks soo much.
Only thing I can tell you is that gr8nole is the best dev on this device imo, if he would teach you, you could learn the most.
Best wishes'n'goood luck m8
