Got a chance to play around with this today. Pics of the phone and system dump below.
This is NOT an update.zip, but it can be used to build one in capable hands. So don't go sucking my bandwidth please!

awesome!
If it helps I uploaded it over at

Nexus One Dump?
I'm a little surprised this isn't up here yet. There is a dump floating around rumored to be Nexus One. You can find it at AndroidSPIN.com.
Has anyone poked around at all?
It's right where it should be in the Development and Hacking > Android software development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
I've had a quick look through this and found some interesting files.
Most notably, something called 'GenieWidget.apk'.
When are non blurry camera's going to hit the market? Nice dump though hopefully this will get ported to the Behold II....*cough*
like @wpbcubsfan said there is already a topic about that in the right section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
New boot animation : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAFSEsEZnnE&feature=player_embedded
Do you try to push the apk in another device or do you think it 'll need some modification of some files ?

They need to be resized and odexed or whatever so it can run on your G1/mytouch or whichever you have. Theres this script in the G1 section that does deodexes or something.
Ace is right. The sizes are to big for dreams and magics. is there even a way to resize the files? also, custom roms are going to become harder now that there are different sizes for phones, but im guessing cyanogen is going to make roms for the neXus
aw, i was kinda hoping that this would be in a .img format so we can load it up and play with it in the emulator
SDK Emulator
Is there anyway I can take this dump and use it in the SDK emulator?
to devs: FIRST ONE TO PORT ISNT A ROTTEN EGG!
Yes, this is the Nexus One.
The boot animation works without modification on the Droid.
Could anyone provide boot.img also
Our guys have been trying to push some of the apk's but not had any luck so far. Has anybody got any apk's from this onto any other build yet?
I tried with my phone and the emulator, but I am a newb. Most of the new apks require Android 2.1 by the way.
if you tried the same method of installing the new maps fex week ago? they modify a file to let G1 thought it was on 2.0 kernel or 1.6 don't remember (system or settings files don't remember) after that the apk works on G1 and we can find it via the market. ask MLIGN he made the change.
Hello All,
as you can see from the title im a no0b ad Rooting the CDMA, while i have rooted and updated the ROM, i had a few questions the first rom that i have Found was the Fresh 1.1 Rom, I have since found the modaco ROM,
is there any major difference,
Also I cant seem to Update the Themes VIA "update.Zip" as it freezes so im assuming the themes i find are for different ROM builds.
Anyone that can toss me into the right Direction would greatly be thanked

you need to be really carefull where you are getting the themes from if you mess up and flash something for a GSM hero onto your phone it will brick it. I dont know where you are getting them from but I would make sure you stay in this sub forum untill you really have a grip on whats going on.
and if you are getting them from this forum then they may not be made for the rom that you are using.
do a search for metamorph its the easiest way to theme your phone if your new.

Hey Thanks I noticed in your Sig, that you use both Fresh and MaC for Daily builds which do you prefer and is there any reason why.. Thanks again

they are both great ROMs but my personal tase goes to the Fresh ROMs I think more than anything it comes down to 2 things
1: I like the rosie in Fresh compared to the stock one in MoDaCo
2: I like the fact that Flipz has removed a lot of the bloatware thats in the stock ROm where the MoDaCo ROM leaves everything in there along with adding some programs in. the only things I pushed back to Fresh where peep, IM, Sprint TV, and location service.
on top of that I have now added MoDaCo's custom kernel 1.1 and things seem much faster but who knows could be the placibo effect. and I have moded a lot of the fresh APKs. Changing the Dialer Changing the icons to the 2.1 icons added one of Noj's lockscreens and so on and so forth so I have really personalized Fresh Rom and its kinda hard to move away from that.
Ok, I'm loving Gingerbread, but m-deejay has been including Cyanogenmod in his recent builds, which I don't want.
I'm REALLY keen to work on my own Gingerbread build...but need pointers on the steps I need to take.
I want to use a clean custom Nexus One Gingerbread build, such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885784
Then I'll have to replace the Nexus drivers and stuff with the HD2 ones...this is where the problem starts...how do I know which files are needed for HD2 specifically?
And then I need to add/remove apps etc to customise it?
I don't want anyone to hold my hand, just to at least point me in the right direction, as finding this information seems to be very difficult, unlike Windows Mobile cooking, which has lots of good tutorials...even though I'd expect that to be the other way around
I taught myself WM cooking & dev, but this is a whole new ballgame to me....
Appreciate any help I can get...
I'll happily donate a few $ to anyone who can help me get a stock build going...
No one able to shed ANY light? Give me ANY pointers?
Like I said, I'm willing to donate $ if I get help to get a ROM built...
Good pointers!!!
Have you tried with this tutorial?
SEE THIS!!!
This is the best step by step guide, and there is everything you need to port/make good working ROM for LEO.

Yea I saw that, thanks...only problem is that it's an old build, and it's miui.
Where do I find the latest drivers etc? And how is a NAND build different? How do I package up a NAND ROM?
I was thinking the very same thing but when I started looking into it I got put off by the complexity and the time it would take.
Have you thought about just modding MDj's ROM, stripping it back to bare ginger and replacing the bits we dont want, this might be easier that building one from scratch.
Yea, it's a possibility...but I won't learn as much doing it that way...and I'd rather try to create my own than use someone else's hard work as a base, if you know what I mean.
I have time, and am willing to learn as much as I need to...I just need some pointers...there are plenty Android HD2 chefs now, surely one of them is willing to help out
It's really not that difficult. I didn't really like the CM mod either, so created my own stock rom. I'm now at the point where I got it all working. I don't mind to give you a helping hand if you really are interested.
I'd love to see this too!

Hey,
yes I've VERY interested...I'm hoping to get a stock-ish one together with my own little touches...maybe release one if I learn enough about it.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated...
Even to start with, a list of the basics...ie get ROM dump, extract xyz, do this...anything at all...
I just got back from a swim at the beach to relax, intending to come back and try to figure it out on my own with what help I can get from that page linked above...but if you have managed to get one together, thats even better
This might be of some use for windows users (I've successfully tried extracting MDJ's Gingerbread system.img with it).
http://android.modaco.com/content/z...-boot-recovery-system-userdata-kitchen-ready/
yea extracting is easy...but I would prefer to use a clean build to start from, rather than m-deejays...trying it using the guide in the link above with the Nexus S dump...having to use some donor files from m-deejays build though...still trying to get my head around it all
Well I gave it a quick try using the above guide, and it gives "NAND Kernel Open Fail".
I used m-deejays kernel, and put all the relevant files into the correct directories before making the system.img, and i put initrd.gz and zimage into boot.img, so I dont know what I did wrong...?
You don't use system.img on nand. You need to create a yaffs.img. Which I've never done before. I've only made builds the sd way, not nand. Maybe all you have to do is rename the .img after you create it. You should jump on irc, room #htc-linux-chat. You would get your answer in like 5 secs;p
NAND ROMs do use system.img, have a look in any NAND ROM, you'll see system.img, boot.img and the flash files.
Yaffs is the filesystem...I created the img files with the "mkyaffs2image" command.
(As per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897940)
I've made all of these but get the damn kernel error...it can't be difficult, lots of devs have released ROMS...surely someone is willing to help?
I'd rather not go into irc, as thats the dev channel isnt it? Dont want to be a noob popping in asking hwo to cook Android for the HD2
i think what would be a cracking idea is if someone were to create 3 "standard" kitchens for anyone to download and start modding with.
kitchen 1) desire / desire HD with NO mods
kitchen 2) Froyo / gingerbread with NO mods
kitchen 3) Froyo / gingerbread with Cyanogen included
they should just be 100% stock but able to build a fully working rom. This way everyone can start to learn, and its always easier with a complete kitchen and just as educational - moreso as you get to see the correct layout for files / directories and all the correct tooling is already in place.
I will add to davids "donation" pot if someone were to make these available, whatever david is willing to donate and i will add another $20 (US) or £15
Whether they be Windows or Linux based kitchen does not matter to me, but i believe that android being open source these resources should be made available
G
Your right, not thinking clearly from all the jack daniels. You do need yaffs tools to mess around with the system.img though...#htc-linux is the dev channel. #htc-linux-chat is where you go to ask questions. Devs don't even go in that channel. Just chefs fire the most part. That's where everyone goes to learn how to build.

Yea, something like that would be handy...but even to start with, I'd just love to know the basic processes needed to get a basic Android build running on the HD2, without having to rely on someone elses current build.
I tried the link above, and it did sort of help understand a little of whats going on...but this stupid kernel error is preventing me from knowing how my test build works/or doesnt work...
I mean I had too use m-deejays gingerbread dump to get some of the driver files etc from...but where does he get them from? Thats the stuff I dont know...
It's obviously not overly difficult as there are so many devs pumping out HD2 ROMs...would just love one of them to share the secrets
Cash - not sure ... depends on how much help I get, but I'm willing to donate along the lines of US$20 or so...

Is it possible that the img files need to be created as ext4 rather than yaffs? I know gingerbread runs on the ext4 system (where froyo ran on yaffs2) but I'm not sure how this relates to building the rom.
Nah, don't think so...not accroding to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897940
Ive tried a few more times but am still getting the kernel error...so I cant even test if my build works or not as it wont even boot...so very frustrating...
Lets break it down........
1st
Here's a brief intro I did a few days ago read it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897940&page=2
The above goes for any .img used with DAF, they are yaffs2 images.
2nd
The sensible option for a clean build would be an existing stock gingerbread rom on a sister device. AdamG just happens to make the cleanest Desire roms around. I've had my eyes on this build for a minute, check it out and see if this what your looking for. Oxygen v2.0-RC6
3rd
I've been able to unyaffs disect, reassemble and get some 'customized' roms running. They flash, boot, & work great.....but I lose root permissions. lol
I was acutally doing this with the 1.6 NAND rom of MDJ that came as a single.img
That particular file was just system.img & boot.img yaffs2'd together. After I disected it I was able to unyaffs the 2 images and edit/modify change kernels, etc. etc. The only problem I have run into is the root issue.
Conclusion:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd be glad to help out any way I can in porting a ROM worthy of our devce
Any serious inquries can be directed to my inbox for private discussion on gtalk .
I'm no dev and am in no way claiming to be. I do have some findings and that's why I'm offering my help. Cheers
Okay, so being a proud Aria owner I like to modify it make it looks as sexy as I can ;D
I've been watching the Inspire 4G forums lately and have been seeing a slew of ROMS pop up. Now, not saying I want a huge amount but maybe an awesome custom one.
That's where my idea comes in. I want to make a Custom ROM based off of SENSE DDX FR008.
Now, I know some of what to do....so I need help.
This will probably be an idea for a long time unless I get some help.
NOW THIS IS AN IDEA. DON'T COME STOMPING ALL ON MY STUFF.
I reside in the freenode IRC chat a lot.

If you can put the cm6 features into it that would be sick. I like cm6 's customization ie. Status bar color options. And also love the transparent pull down from that gingerbread add on. What would you take from the sense rom?
Banging cm7-night's 14
@brswattt, definately worth a custom ROM/Theme. i have been thinking the same thing, maybe some sort of Hybrid based on another phone such as Droid.
tilt4life2 point out a kick-a$$ ROM. love the lockscreen
im slowly learning app creation, and as time allows im looking into system changes. for me i would like a custom ROM which allows the user to re-assign any key function for custom actions(keymapping)... there's probably a program somewhere that does this already
Like THIS one
good luck bro, if i stumble accross any cool things we can add to a custom build i'll keep you in mind.
Thanks for the support guys! I'll look into it when I get home.

The system.img (at least) won't dump with unyaffs. This is usually caused by incorrectly copying it from the partition with dd.

The marvel_dump.zip has the /system image already expanded. The system.img in the original file has a blocksize of 2048, so you have to use a parameter to get unyaffs to extract it.

How to port Sense.
Source: http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/164989-guide-how-i-port.html (second post)
This is NOT my guide, just posting it here!
This is a very difficult process that I hope you'll understand.
First step is to find a device that is preferably VERY similar to your device, in this instance I guess we would use the htc thunderbolt, which I've been told multiple times that it is used for the MT.
You're going to want to use CM7 for parts. Simple enough.
I will be referring the Sense ROM to SENSE and CM7 as BASE to simple things up. So remember that.
When I say replace, I would recommend deleting from one and adding it with the other
Open up Sense and Base in different windows.
Put in the boot.img from Base into Sense (make sure you put the original boot.img in some other place that you'll remember)
go into /system/usr on both
replace keylayouts and keychars from Base into Sense (this is just your keys)
download dsixda's kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246)
Get the ROM you have so far set up in it and what not (I'm a little fuzzy at this part)
Once you get done with that, run the menu in terminal and navigate your way to decompile the boot.img (action key- "a") and then run the same thing except run the action key "w" to decompile the original boot.img. So the key here is to decompile both boot.img's.
Go into the ramdisk on both and go into init.rc
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IN THIS (THE MATTER OF BOOT AND BOOTLOOP) IS THE LINE
"export BOOTCLASSPATH" near the top. It will have a bunch of lines after it. Now in the Base's boot.img, delete this whole line. Replace it with the lines from Sense's boot.img.
Now you can add anything else you want that looks like it belongs (preferably anything sense related)
Don't recompile the boot.img yet.
Now we add a2sd. To do this, just follow this guide (https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=158823170833688)
The only thing you do in there is the edits to the init.rc, don't listen to the decompiling/recompiling mentions. Now you can go back into the menu for the kitchen and recompile the boot.img (action key - "b"). Now don't compile the WHOLE ROM, just take the new boot.img in working_** and put it into the Sense zip.
Now you're going to want to download my ROM (sorry, just don't feel like uploading each individual file) http://gannon5197.blogspot.nl/2012/03/got-sense-booted.html
And go into the /system/bin on both
these are the files you're going to need: a2sd, bash, apps2sd.hlp, busybox.a2sd, chka2sd, jita2sd, launcha2sd, starta2sd, and maybe possibly sh (try once without it)
And you're going to want to set permissions for each one of these in the updater-script (look at mine for references)
Now also look at my zip and you'll see move_cache_sd. Put that in yours and set permissions for it in updater-script (use mine for references)
After that, the other stuff is mainly just getting rid of all the bloatware, (look in /system/app and /system/media) I wouldn't delete any libs as of right now. If you try to flash it and it reboots recovery then it is too big.
If it is too big, you're probably going to want to move a lot of the apps to data. To do this, just make a file called data/app/put_your_apps_here on the root of the zip. You're going to have to set permissions for it in the updater-script, but use the test.zip I sent you in the original.
This will most likely get you booted. Nothing will likely work. Which is expected. If you have any problems, just use logcat. It will be your bestfriend. Have fun porting

Hello for lg p500 there is 2 sense rom but data and mic not working in both rom can you help to solving that problems????btw great tutorial.
in fact sensse porting is differnet from the tutorial showed it is a little bit more difficult and there are some libs needed that there is only for the devices you are porting to. so a general tread will not really work
