x911 exclusive droid X rom - Droid X Android Development

Hello everyone. Well I have some free time now and have decided to make a rom exclusively for the X. It will be called x911. After testing out a few and not finding exactly what I like, I decided to start this project. So If anyone is interested in testing a beta, giving some input/requests on certain features etc, let me know. Updates and news about dev will be on "thevideomole" .com - can't direct link sorry. Just sign up for an account and follow my wall if your interested in participating, or just want to know about the rom, release date etc. Thanks.
James LaBarr

I'll test for you, no problem.

never mind. I was going to say something. but never mind.

I'm interested... usually like to see some details and screenshots if possible before testing things out tho.
Thanks for the heads up at OP

Great, like I said, I have posted this in a few droid x forums, and handling this in all forums would suck, so It wall all be handled at thevideomole.com - just join the droid x lovers group, all updates will go thru there, and thanks everyone, im glad people are interested in this.

yea, what he said....

Well who am I is kind of a weird question. Who are you? Anyway I made a crude boot animation for my x911 AOSP Froyo Rom, needs much polishing but the concept is there. Video is on the site previously posted. This weekend that should begin and I can begin coding.

I think he was trying to ask about your experience with android coding

I call BS...unless you can give SOME type of detail other than a boot animation that can be put on any rom...

I don't think that a person asking about your background or experience is kind of a weird question. To be honest I normally close threads like this because its been my experience that ROMS are never produced. Perhaps you if you are soliciting feedback you may post a beta or test ROM you are working. Guys in this forum are used to a lot of fake posts.

Exactly...I didn't mean who are you on a personal level, I meant it as, who are you as it pertains to the Android Community. I write articles and news that's Android related, and have been around for a long time in the forums, but I have never heard of you or your brand of ROMs. So I meant who are you as a Developer or Chef, because maybe you are an experienced Dev and I just don't know of you. But also you could be that kid jdkclipse from the incredible and other forums...some might know that drama.
Either way though, if u have a ROM, just post it and a screenshot and a detailed changelog/info on it, no need to open a thread until you have that.
Cheers!

i would love to test. I'm also feelign the same way you are on roms. I wanna build my own too but not much help for the Droid x. We may can collaborate to make a pretty good rom

[ROM] CM6 RC3 w/ Goodies

I just started making ROMs today and I'm going to start with just modifying a ROM.
Couldn't get the Golden Elegance theme to work with anything. So it's has ADW Launcher and everything else.
Goodies added:
Hulu
Flashplayer
Wireless Tether
A Skinned "Droid Does" Swype Keyboard
Option Of ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro
I'll work on different colored themes in the near future.

What did you do to get Hulu working?
is 8GB internal storage present and is BT audio fixed? Those are keeping me away from CM6 for now...
I included the hulu.apk and the hulu flash player I got from skyraider

thx for the response and no worries, was just curious. don't pay attention to the negative comment(s).
Yo hot taco, overall pretty nice. The only thing i would suggest is to theme over all the cyan (blue) parts to make them look like vanilla (even though thats my area of expertise).
Good luck with future roms.

I agree 110%.. I've thought about trying to learn how to cook up some ROMs but if this is how i would get treated, forget it. So what if its not a "ROM". Everyone has to start somewhere. He's learning. He's obviously smarter than you at age 13 and you obviously have a problem with it. Grow up before you decided to post such nonsense.
EDIT: just to clarify, this was directed at rulevoid, not mtag. i was just agreeing with mtag, which is the reason for the quote.
Imma get the mods over here ok?? Flaming makes me MAD!
Wow. Cut the kid some slack. It's these kind of replies that are the reason some of the best rom cookers out there won't post on this forum).

@OP glad ur taking interest and trying to learn to cook roms.
perhaps u should work on creating some original material and get some people to test/help u before u create a thread for a ROM...
That way nobody could complain and u could learn and put together a good ROM
Wow, sure he just used a basic kitchen to add things a lot of ppl add anyways. This isn't for me so I'm not gonna flash it, but I'm not gonna flame someone for doing this. A lot of people will find this useful. Just because its not for you doesn't mean its right to treat someone trying to contribute like this.
OP if u want some help with creating update.zip's pm me and I'll help you out.

[ROMS] Droid Incredible - The ROM thread

If someone would like the information from this thread, please pm me. I will no longer be maintaining this thread nor will I be contributing in anyway to this community.
I want to say thank you to the developers, you have made my time here fun. To the people who don't think their opinions are superior to yours, enjoy yourselves. To everyone else... you need to stop and have a reality check. Your opinions are not superior to anyone else's, no matter how much you believe it to be.
I will stay active until someone pm's me for the thread info.

You may want to include a short explanation for each ROM category (AOSP, Sense, New Sense, Senseless) as well, because the differences between, say, an AOSP and Senseless ROM are difficult to understand for many newcomers.

yep, this is my plan in the near future. I am so stressed out about this week, though... lol. For the next 3 weeks I have nothing but nothing to do, I plan to make this thread awesome.
Please continue to leave suggestions for the thread. If it gets too cluttered with my silliness, I'll just make a new one (v.2). But I will definitely keep this up to date.
Very convenient, thank you for putting in the time to put this together. It is now part of my favorites.

I didn't think about it because AFAIK the only D/L link for it is via ROM manager. I'll add it though.

Anyone else annoyed?

I am finding that a lot of new ROMs are being posted that don't actually have any difference to other ROMs apart from some colours, and really are just themes.
I promised myself that I wouldn't write a wall of text so I've kept it short.
Is anyone else getting annoyed by this is or is it just me?
same here, at the most, some people have just applied a few tweaks which are readily available on the forums anyway
Same here.. It annoys me too.. these, um, 'devs'... I appreciate their effort, but its nothing much creative..

Wall of text. Please explain that to this guy. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18756483&postcount=3
(yes I know it's a different forum)
I would be okay with this if they clearly stated what they did instead of trying to make it seem like actual development
Sometimes I ask my self why they don't just make flashable themes instead of making their own "ROM"
They should put [COPYCAT] in front of their threads and save us a lot of trouble
That plus the ones that make a rom that I really like then decide they want to make their own forum that you have to sign up for if you want to keep up to date with the rom.
Or I hate.it when they make nice rom with their own stuff and theme it. Like wtf man no one wants a black and blue rom with a purple or green back cover. Think, man think.-________-

EXACTLY!
it would save us all the time of downloading, flashing and possibly restoring if you wiped.
I concur. If all that has changed is the theme, then just post a theme and let people choose ROMs that are actually useful.
OK you 're right 50%.
First you have to try the rom and then comment in the thread.
Yeah. I hate when they do that.

What is the point when all the features are exactly the same as every other single ROM, and they will quite obviously not have the same performance as ROMs that have recognised developers making them?

Confusing
For the average user it is very confusing to have so many roms out there. Not many have time to read countless thread with hundreds of pages to decide which rom is a winner and which is a lemon ...
Yes it is true that it will be lot more convenient to us people, but what if they're doing it to learn?
You're not paying them anyway.

Not to make this personal, but if the average user is not willing to read and study then that is a problem of his, or her, own. XDA isn't about instant gratification, you SHOULD look and study, that's what evolves the average user into a more well built and well studied user
I'm not trying to offend you, just giving my two cents.
-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-
This annoys me too but for a different reason. I have created my very first rom, but it is just another rom that I themed and tweaked. I threw that rom into the trash and reset my kitchen.
Its hard to think of something original, never been done before, stand out from the crowd, make iphone users jealous... which kinda sucks, because I want to contribute to the community. I think i'll just wait a week or two for the x10 gingerbread to come out and do a few themes...
It well, that's my rant finished.

PSX User Thread/Information - Latest ver.: V3! Merry X-mas! :)

Hi all!
So... the PSX thread is finally closed... but I guess some of us will keep using it, right? So I thought that it would be interesting to create a user thread for this great ROM.
UPDATE: A brief FAQ for you.
Q: So, what happened to the thread?
A: The developer got (allegedly) tired of the slackness of the majority of the people posting in the development thread, i.e. repeating questions that were already answered, repeating requests about features that were already requested, complaints about bugs that were already reported and mostly app/user related, etc.
Q: No more PSX?
A: Incorrect. Development goes on and you can follow it here. I will try to update this post with the most important updates, as apparently some people can't access the new forum from restricted access networks (office).
Q: Can we get nightlies and stuff?
A: It's possible, head out to the PSX forum and read the rules. I will only post released versions here, as the developers clearly want access to the nightlies to be limited, and I wouldn't want to get banned from their forum, would I?
Rejoice! V3 is finally here!
Changelog and mirror thanks to @infiltrata
Updated source to AOSP 4.4.2
Added charging LED option
Completely redone kernel with custom hotplug
Option to hide battery symbol completely
Active Display
Extended options for Quiet Hours
Customized Lockscreen targets

Yes I think it makes sense!
Would be great if someone could follow ct's github and maybe build and share the releases...
On other news, I took the ART "plunge" this morning and so far I'm pretty happy with it! I lost about 1800 point in Quadrant, true, but battery life seems to have improved a lot! Don't know, maybe just placebo... I'll let it settle and try to give it some "normal" use and then I'll switch back to dalvik to compare... we'll see!
Oh and no compatibility issues so far. I was afraid that Carmageddon wouldn't work but it works perfectly with kitkat and art ^_^
Gone but not forgotten
I am a happy PSX user as a well. I tried catching up on all the issues but that was causing the problems but am still wondering since the thread is closed does that mean that CTFROMMN will never release any future updates or new Roms to us regular Joes? As a very new N4 owner I had only tried a few Roms but I have to say hands down, his latest work is the best that's out there right now. Its a shame if its the last one we will see.
I don't always post on XDA, I'm usually one of those who just lurk around and conduct experiments on their cellphone.
A few days ago I bought Nexus 4 after selling my old SGS2, and I tried several roms (both stock and non-stock), and the one that has actually caught my eye was PSX.
Smooth (even though Nexus 4 itself is smooth as hell), feature-rich, battery-friendly, and most importantly - bug free.
I don't know if ctfrommn is reading this (probably not), but just in case he does - you rock. You've made my experience with this device probably 10X better than with any other ROM.
I've read what you said on the official post and I agree that some people need to just shut the hell up and be thankful for what they get.
If you love something, keep on doing it, and let the nay sayers kiss your ass while doing it.
You did a great job on this ROM, and I'm sure a lot of people around here think so as well.
Thank you for your incredible work. I hope I'll get the chance to test and use your and your friends' creations in the future.
can some1 tell me what happened? my n4 is on lg service center, so i didnt check xda :/
^^^^ psx thread was all filled with posts like 'ohh i love this rom, this if do fast so smooth' and there were other posts all having complaints.1000's of posts like these..dev got tired of reading all those useless posts.. warned again and again but nobody listened.. No idea what happened yesterday but I'm sure that dev's mind should've snapped for sure after watching helplessly at the state of thread...
Anyways.. It shouldn't be a problem If There sources keep on getting updated.

Like XDA But On Steroids

Hello everyone,
I've been pondering over some project to divert my time on and well recently I've begun to notice the somewhat unorganized mess XDA has become. So I thought of the fabulous idea of creating a new website made strictly for ROMs, Kernels, Rooting, & Unlocking Bootloaders. The website would have separate sections for each device, then differing versions of the device, then for android version, and then finally for type of development. For example AT&T Galaxy S3 CM12 rom would be found under Galaxy S3>AT&T>Lollipop>Roms>Cyanogenmod 12.
Get it? Super organized, super easy to find things.
What do you guys think? Is this something worth investing my time in? Or should I just give u on this little project? Be brutally honest please. After all there is no point on building a website that nobody will ever use.
More steps but easier finds. Nice.
Sounds good, especially if you can get support from xda.
CyanogenMod 11 listed under jellybean ROMs?
Your biggest issue is people dont really leave xda. Developer wise most are keen to stay here because support and friends are here i imagine. Also logistically trying to support even half the phones xda does and have it so organised into just what the phones are compatible with, along with paired Q&A + general threads would be immensely time consuming and would require more than a few people to keep up with the flow. Not even considering user mistakes with roms added in the wrong forum. While it would be a good idea i wouldnt attempt it. The mods are always willing to listen to new ideas to help keep the forums tidy though. Maybe try help out closer to home?
