[DEV] CyanogenMod development for Olympus - Atrix 4G Android Development

Seeing as how the previous thread for cm was closed due to peoples *****ing. Thought i would start another that might actually be helpful.
First, I am not a good dev. And currently on the road so unable to assist until august. I want to thank faux123 as he seem to be our best bet so far.

This will be the new github organization to bring up CM7 for atrix. thanks to faux123

Only developer questions please. A good rule of thumb. If you do not have a github or do not know how to use git do not post in this section. Thanks. And Good Luck. Thanks for the hard work so far everyone!

OK everyone, the other thread was closed completely counter productive. We do not like having to do that. Please keep this thread clean meaning no post that are not constructive. Aka "this is awesome" or "so much potential! ". Post will be deleted to keep it clean or thread closed if it goes path of the last one. So please keep it clean.

I agree, nice to know that a thread can get hundreds of views without being ruined in the first few posts. Thanks for being on top of this thread Jug.

Second link (Product script) is not the web page I'm looking for (404).

Samuel and everyone that helped thanks so much for the work on the build files, I have been struggling through it off and on when i had time... looks like extract-files.sh needs some work still but GREAT WORK AND THANK YOU

yeah my extract file requieres tons of love. today im going to begin a large effort to get it done correct. base on the latest.
i have to goals
compile aosp
compile cm7
so hopefully we can gather all this wefforts into one and speed it up. anyone that wants to pull/commit to my github feel free to do so. let me know by twitter so i can get the request quick and everyone can be up to date.

We should start a github organization for this, so people can participate and add stuff without doing pull request all the time... massive pull requests get old fast
EDIT: DOH! Didn't know github organization cost $25 a month... thought it was free My bad...

well i will help where i can, currently i do not have a ton of time for atrix but, I probably can work a little each day, I ran the extract-files.sh and through up the build files and gave it a make just to get an idea of where its at... we should compile a list of things that need to be done so we can work and check things off as we go , like I said though thanks everyone for the start ... your much further than I was *I am more on the AOSP route but hay it all works the same

Please update OP with this link:

This will be the new github organization to bring up CM7 for atrix.

Edit: When the source is released aren't you gonna somewhat have to start over?

I'm getting:
Code:

I'm stumped... though I'm tired. It's probably something blatantly obvious.

Just cause I have to

So I have to post a few times just so I can be "verified' in order to create a thread for my theme. So some posts will be done just to get this over with.
You could at least post something about your theme you know
make it worthwile and interesting...otherwise instead of starting a pointless thread...go the the three word story thread and go nuts
I could talk about the theme, but just talking about it makes it feel just like every other theme out there. Now, posting screenshots gives the eye something pretty to look at, and helps to distinguish the theme from others.
o....k well...post some pics then or at least tell us for what device you are developing this theme for
It is for CyanogenMod. It is for all three ports. There is a thread on the forums over there. The theme name is Extremely Blue.
see?? now you are posting with a Purpose
Any pics? how come you are not posting this info over there by the way?
I have a thread on the forums over there already. I figured I would post a thread here to grab a little more attention. Once I'm "verified", I'll do so. Pretty much just a mirror of my current thread.
say...could this be used with the porting of android to Rhodium at all?
I'm very involved in that thread...
Have you seen this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997
It could probably be integrated in some way to assist with building from source.
Orale!!
Well...you have the link now...if you ever feel like visiting us...feel free to do so
Welcome to forums
PM me when you create your theme thread so I can review it and publish it on our portal
Thanks,
I'm reading through that stuff now. I spose I should wait till I get home for more reading. Heh. Works sux.
Orb, Thanks
And will do

Que pasa MR. Orb!! How's life in the Batcave (baticueva)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698010
And the thread is created
I looks great man! Any sugestions if I could use it on the application I told you about (android port to TP2)?
I mean, it's a theme..right?
It is a theme indeed. I just took it a step further by building it from source. IMHO, it gives an extra bit of stability while running. I maintain all of my source images and overlay integration scripts on github.
Well...in that case and since I'm insane in the membrane (90's rap reference ) I'll download it and try it!!

make your .zips CW3 compatible (Taking Requests)

Please vote in the poll in my thread at XDA: VOTE (at the top of the page)
.zips (edify ready) are posted here in the right hand column. Android Development Page
If you are aware of my midNIGHT ROM then you are probably aware of my story. I am posting these .zips on my blog at first because my goal is to spread Autism Awareness while at the same time helping out the community. I get nothing for the traffic that goes to the blog. Sharing my story helps people to understand what families like mine go through every day. So I hope you don't mind the little side trip. It's for a good cause.
I'll add more as I get them made. A very big THANKS goes out to amosher13 for the scripts I used in these .zips.
I'll keeping adding them as I see the need. These right now should cover the basics...
If you have a request please either post the .apk or .zip. Free apps only. I will not work with paid apps from the market for obvious reasons. I will do my best to get them converted ASAP. They will all be added to the repository at my blog. All links will be multiupload....

Eventually everything will be changed, right? My requests, just a couple, are Media Hub and new email, but there's more for sure. Thanks for your commitment!
Just to clarify, I mean the new 2-pane email, whatever that is called.
Mms no bubble
VIPERRom volume hack would be great. Can't post right now though.
I would reccomend the Hulu app. Thanks
Wondering if you can do the black google widget and the black swype keys. Thank you

I am really enjoying reading your blog, thank you for giving me a better perspective on my life, praying for smooth trails ahead for you guys
I also enjoyed reading your blog. It made me think about how some of us just do not appreciate our good health. My request would be noobnl's DK28 odexed and rooted rom. I had requested this from noob but I guess he is busy. Don't get me wrong I'm sure you are also but if you get a chance it would be nice. I rarely get a chance to sit at my pc for more than a half hour at a time so I know how it is. If not I would just make the changes myself. Thanks again.

Before this get's out of hand. I'm trying to do a nice things for you guys. If you have a zip you want converted POST IT. I don't have time to scour the internet and endless threads looking for zips and apks. I will also not work on someone else's ROM. If that developer wants to support CW3 then they either would have already or will be converting over themselves.
That said, I will do my best to covert as many as possible and update the repository as often as possible. Also please keep in mind that everything I currently is for DEODEXED systems only. So bring on the attachments and I will bring forth the conversion.

Sorry but I'm not going to touch someone else's ROM. I do appreciate the kinds words you have though. I just don't want to mess with someone else's work in that manner. Hope you understand.

Yes this needs to be taken down if it isnt for Droid X, if it is, you should have a direct download link. Not a link to another site for downloads.
I think that's in the rules of the forums.

Ummm maybe because rootz doesn't have guidelines for posting... as for what you and the other guy said: I may have messed up the rule, but if you plan to bring something out, wait till it's actually out before you write a post saying " here it is" in the main post then under it saying "coming soon" that's misleading and hence why you get angry messages... Its like saying there is a ps3 here for free! Then saying well maybe tonight it'll be free. Of course you'll get backlash that's just common sense. Might I suggest that if you want to do this in the future put "coming soon" in the post title.
Now on to your direct download question. You should know by now that there are direct downloading (hosting sites) that allow you to have a list of several different files under 1 direct downloading page. IE 1 link then click on the file you want then instant download. No need for ftps or other miscellaneous things. And now for the several posts you have: that's what a developed does if they want to get stuff out to the masses. I've done much MUCH more than 27 threads in separate forums for much more popular things than android. Like for instance back in the old days when you had to El patches that were 150mb for counter-strike 7.5 beta.... aaahhh good old days.....

I was not being ride for christ sake! I simply asked if I was missing something. A second post saying coming implies something else is coming, not the rom that u said was here. If u doing like people asking where a rom that u said was here is, then don't post that its here. That seems pretty simple.

I know its free work, I'm not complaining about the work (mostly because there is no work done yet, and I haven't tried it out), All I'm saying is that there are rules and I thought that one of them was no 3rd party dl link; meaning no one can say "here's the download" then take someone to a 3rd party site so that you have to click on additional links for the download. That's both misleading & under-minded.
Same thing I was complaining about with his "here is a new rom" then right under it there was an additional post stating "well.... coming soonish...." If you don't mislead people you won't get 1/2 as many angry posters as there normally are when this kind of crap happens. Read rules & don't mislead people, that's all Im saying.

Linking to downloads that REQUIRE REGISTRATION is against the rules. Direct downloads (or nearly direct, in this case) are not.
XDA doesn't host large files like roms. How would any dev post anything without an external site?? How, exactly, do you classify MediaFire, et al.?
If you have a question about said rules or think someone is breaking them, how about PMing someone who knows them (read: moderator) before pissing off a major developer.
r2, I'll implore you to stick around. Please, PM me if you need anything. I also mod in TB if you run into this kind of junk over there.

thank you, but its been building for a while. there were 5 pages on rootz before i got a build up, 5 pages of discussion and friendly FAQ. even after the builds got messed up, not a single person got rude.
it hasnt just been here, though the guys here are what finally pushed me over the line. ive been dealing with this quite a lot here, and have been slowing down my post rate for a while. Maybe if xda can clean it act up ill be back, but i dont see it happening in the forseeable future.
all my work is still available, i just wont be posting it here.

Thanks for the clearification; but I wasn't referring to "3rd party websites" as sites like megaupload, megashare, etc, etc. I should of phrased it differently, what I should have used was "personal websites" because most of them usually require some kind of login. In this case no; so thanks again for clarifying.
As for pissing off the dev, that's a 2 edged sword, as I get why other people besides me are angry. It really is misleading to have a post in a section dedicated to ROM development/release and tell everyone "here it is" then post again saying coming soon. I don't really mind if it is coming soon, but it would have been nice to have him put something like "Coming soon" in the post title. Droid X doesn't have much development on XDA at all anymore. And since this is the second of 2 in the last month (and 1 rom before that in the last like 5) people are bound to freak out! Then to see something like what happened here, that will quickly turn into something like "wtf is this?"
We both had problems and now both problems are out in the open. We can both learn from it.

can developer steal a rom from another developer?

just a subj... is it possible the some developer just take a rom which weas made by someone else and announce as his one achivement? (sulerly, some minor ganages could be done in the rom)
how to identify the thief?

It's not really stealing i guess as long as you put out credits of the people who created it, or by asking permission from the developers.

if the "owner" has not been aware about any usage of his rom, is it faire to thread the rom? "credits" are given when a team were worked out the rom, or when you take the result of someone's job and just say "hey, i take it" ?
in my opinion, it is situational and depends on the context.
A =/= B =/= C
But they could share similarities that most people would agree something was done morally wrong. I guess you could share with us the situation then we can give a better opinion?

i just wondering is there a sort of "widly known gentelmen agreement" about such situations. and the second matter is to get an idea how both parties (both developers) can get "a profitable solution" for both (= peace)
In my opinion, the developers community should be honest for it members. And other users have to proud for the achievments of this community. All team's results would be better, than results of each developer. That's why they should be together ^.^
PS sorry for bad english, I hope you understand my meaning

all should be together with all ... sounds impossible
the problem is HOW can others results be used for making app / rom etc?
what is allowed to do and what is forbidden (ethically)?

To work together - allowed, to use with proper credits - allowed. To edit build.prop and post as own rom - not. I think so.

If you suspect something, you can always go and compare files.
Technically you can do whatever you want since android is open source.
Ethically it isbetter to consult with rom owners about using parts of a rom and credit them offcourse

if someone did not done it (consult) before he take a part of rom, what will happen? does it mean that othe other community will declare a boycott against him? or just say "you'd better stop doing it"?
Of course you're all talking about the Rom owners, Google... Right? Or perhaps HTC? I would be very surprised if any Rom posted in our dev thread have asked Linus Torvalds personally if they could post a derivation of his operating system here.
You don't see too many credits to those 3 either...
It's public domain, nobody here has built a Rom entirely from scratch all have borrowed from the community and the source, and if they offer even one piece of code that's new, I say good on them, they are contributing to the community, and the community will take from and build on that too.
But let's cut to the chase, why are you asking the question? You're planning to contribute? Or are you here to point the finger at someone for stealing your creation?

Like everyone has stated, being a open source code and that no one in here is making profit from the roms, (on this site at least i can not speak for the world) it is really a null point of theft everything is free you can not steal something that is owned by the public. As well if you plan on taking something from a rom I would strongly suggest that you ask, and give proper credit were it is due. personally if i worked on a project and someone was using my development with no permission or credit i would publicly humiliate them in anyway possible so that the ass who "stole"
my work would never be able to call it his own again. As well the XDA community is great group of people who if you steal anything from another rom with no permission will find out and ostracize you for your pathetic attempt to pass of someone else's blood sweat and tears as your own.

If you would read the posts, you would know that they don't want people to post anything about DU on XDA.

They mainly just don't agree with how XDA runs things, you can read more about DU on Dev's Base, stuff like that. That's where they post stuff.

Almost, read this.
This is a Quote from a Post.
Back in early September of 2016 there was a situation between a friend of mines and XDA. This friend’s name is Nate Benis or better known as Beanstown106. Nate or should I say “Beans” as I call him was upset that a individual had taken his work and posted it on XDA prior to him releasing his official build. He really got upset. This was probably the first time that I had seen Beans upset in public. He normally keeps his thoughts private and so I was surprised. He pulled his source off github and took to G+ to call this guy out.

Not much. Alex didn't like XDA's direction, which seems fair. Creates new site to recreate what once was, admin gets upset, escalates things. Too much drama for me.
I wholeheartedly agree with the "glorified tech support" thing though. It seems most people here can't even pull up proper logs when they have issues. "issue here plz fix o kind dev."
I think XDA has become more of a tech site instead of an actual developer website, albeit developers still post here. If you look at Dev's Base, it doesn't have the completely off topic posts that XDA does. Not saying its a bad thing that XDA does, it just seems Dev's base is a dev site not a tech site.
What firmware are you all using on the new Jan18 build?
Have you tried and success to install Viper4android or any audio mod ?

Dude bugger off. They don't care if we discuss it. As long as no links to downloads are posted here. Look below a few threads and you'll see a discussion about DU that was active over a year. Never got shutdown cause it didn't violate any rules. I don't know why we needed a new thread though.
Stop trying to act all hard. Noob

Sorry if I came across harsh, and discussion is allowed. Just don't see the point of doing it here, when you could get responses from people who actually develop this ROM over on their G+. That's what I really meant, don't see point in this thread. Discussing it is allowed.

IDK, the large majority of Dev's Base seems to not be there for "tech" stuff. Considering the current lead of the site, I doubt it will change either. Its possible though.

It's only possible to keep the site that way if it remains small or if they ban every new user that doesn't know enough.
Looking at their G+ page and at what some DU users ask here on XDA, it's clear not everyone is a genius. Allow normal users to create accounts and install your fancy ROM and then you have a typical XDA thread with dumb questions.
The rom zip has been removed from their download area, is there a problem with it

Nope, it seems there is enough feedback for this RC... (I read that on their Google+ but don't remember where).
