I noticed that the guys in the evo section have a dev/test only 2.3 rom compiled from reverse engineering off the 2.3 sdk. They have already got most of the functions to work, all a bit buggy but cool all the same. I was wondering if I were to flash a evo rom onto my DHD and it didnt work would I still be able to use clockworkmod and reflash my nand backup off sc card?
Or am I just crazy to even think of trying?

I also noticed while rooting/updating my mates Sony Ericsson X10 that there is a sdk dump of 2.3 available. Doesnt really work but still nice to check it out
Anyone willing to do a sdk dump or point me in the direction of how to do it
Ok i attempted to flash the evo 2.3 rom on my DHD.
Didnt work, guess it is because wrong kernal.
Am I the only person who would like to see a skd port of 2.3?
Just to check out, obviously would not run well enough to use as daily rom.
If any1 can point me in the right direction I would love to learn how to port/compile over from a sdk.
I'm as eager as you are! I want a tasty gingerbread
But i'd suggest you wait until a rom is released SPECIFICALLY for your phone...jumping ahead can result in great losses...i'm sure you don't want a £450 paperweight
And trust me, time will fly, before you know it some smart XDA Chef will have released an optimised rom just for our shiny Desire HDs!

Does anyone have any websites that they would like to recommend regarding info on ROM cooking?
I really like the idea of being able to totally customize our phones once the root is done but would like to try to have something done by the time our Dev team gets root to us. If this is possible and we won't be needing much from the phone before it is rooted (device specific files that we don't have access to now?) to put a ROM together then I am ready to get started.
If you're already working on this I'll be more than happy to help you out with some guidance.
this is someting you just have to learn it's preaty much doing a system dump of a current working rom. but it's more complicated than replace this file and that file as i spoke before. thta was just a gereral idea.
real rom cookers manipulate the kernal so thier ideas work better and faster than the original. just take a look at my friend cyanogen he's done wonders in rom cooking. i think haykuro and old dev from xda has a rom kitchen tut out there in the intertubes but have lost touch with him.

Very True...I do my own ROMS for myself and a few friends with my Xperia WinMo....its all about performance and how you put it together...
I've played around with rom cooking for my Omnia last year. It is pretty involved. This site and MoDoCo are some of the best places to find information on. I would suggest looking at the Hero forums and other Android phones as I would think some of the specifics are different than say WinMo.
Any way, I plan on reading up on this myself, so if I come across any good info I'll post it here.
i've got a rom done when we get root. just took out all the apps and replaced them with stock android, but its better than nothing for now. we'll still need to get amon-ra recovery and stuff working.
Is anybody thinking about making a Nexus One ROM for the Eris once we get root

A 2.1 ROM or a Nexus One themed ROM?
I'm sure someone will do 2.1 but I'm sure Nexus One stuff (startup animations etc) could just be added to any other ROM with minimal work after we get this thing rooted.
from what ive been reading..and surely hope its true, alot of Chefs are looking to port of specifically Espresso and Nexus themed roms.
and that to me is just freakin awesome.
but all jokes aside..i just wanna metamorph and go nuts with the themes lol
As the title states.. at this moment there is absolutely no reason why we dont have custom roms floating around for our devices yet, other then the fact that noone has taken the time to make one
We have a fully functional recovery from koush as far as pushing custom roms go.. we also have a fully functional froyo base to work with as well as a froyo .32 kernal.. nothing is stopping us at this point other then the fact that noones done one yet
Whos going to be the first to throw one out there?
Whoever it is, please remove all the bloat... Deodex all the system files for easy theming and try to zipalign and optimize however you can
This thread is absolutely useless, not to mention in the wrong section.
anybody can post it. But why sud be Start to Speculate or Gamble. When it will be available it will be like we got Froyo 2.2 stock image

if your phone has root you can remove all the bloat you want and install whatever you want. you should get started with root explorer
Make your own F***ing rom then if you dont feel like waiting for somone to make one. Anyway I bet there is many people working on roms right for the droid x
So many smartasses. How about you guys lay off and get a life, the guy was just asking a question.
I agree with the OP, right around the time that koush released his recovery there were a bunch of people talking about coming out with froyo roms (birdman and rainabba namely)but without the froyo kernel, then the leaked froyo came out and nothing ever happened since.
Now we have a froyo kernel to work with, we just need a stock android build without any oem customization.
Bootloader still locked?

I dont feel like we really need a new rom, whats it gonna do for me? It will either be 2.1 or the 2.2 leak with different themes/different apps, something I could and would rather do myself.
Outside of theming, I dont see the point.

There is definately benefits to be had as far as performance goes as well.. cleaning up the froyo build and optimizing / zipaligning the apks will get things going well, and as you said as far as theming goes, a completely deodexed rom will allow complete themes from A to Z not just status bar things, could even put a new lockscreen in place that may not have any crazy lag
I could see an industrious dev cleaning up the froyo build a little, but I have had almost zero issues with this build, outside of a build.prop change. We will see one soon I am sure, hell, Im just glad we finally have a custom recovery.

Yeah i just find it humerous that everyone was complaining we dont have a custom recovery and the world is goin to end, and im not going to buy a Droid X because the bootloader is locked etc etc yada yada... but then when we actually get rom flashing capabilities, noone even uses it lol
Isn't the bootloader for the Droid X still locked? IE no custom roms?

So, maybe this would be better asked in another thread, but how would I go about pulling the recovery image in order to customize it? I'm simply assuming that's how it's done, so if not, let me know. I would like to start messing with making some roms, but have no clue where to start as it seems to be all device-centric. Where does one learn all of this?

I don't understand how it's doable with a locked bootloader? If someone created a clean froyo rom how would it boot? Wouldn't that be similar to removing all the apk's from the leaked rom and expecting it to boot?
Please tell me if I'm wrong...

We can do custom roms, but have to include and not modify the stock kernel. So, no modular overclocking I believe.
Basically, the first roms to come out will be de blur'd so to speak, and then AOSP roms will hit later. Promise Just a matter of time.
The original lockdown of the bootloader and "efuse" scared a lot of dev's off of getting the X. I only know a handful of people deving for the X, so I assume this is why customs roms are taking a while to come out.
Regardless, they'll be here soon enough. Patience
Im getting the x soon, and maybe i can whip up a rom

ill be getting my dhd in a few hours when it arrives and was wondering about root and roms
whats the best rom for dhd atm? and how easy is the root process? any good guides for it?
Leave stock rom on phone until you are used to the phone, and have tried all settings.
After a while, you will know if there is something you would like changed, and then see if there is a rom for you.
Software is fine just need root really, I know android and sense really well. Was wondering about kernels but only as a maybe
Root's easy. Look in the forum for instructions and follow them exactly and you'll be fine.
As far as custom roms go, I'm using leedroidhd v1.2 and of 4 roms tested, I think it's the best but it's personal opinion of course.
Good luck

I'd guess it will be available through a custom rom in the end....
for now, I am using LeeDrOid and it is working very nicely for me
I probably am going to switch to cyanogen once it is tested a bit more...

Why froyo?? Jump to Gingerbread .. Our Heroe's can run gingerbread thanks to the lovely Dev's and there's two of them ( infact 4 in total ) you can try out in the development section .. check them out
Just Replace Ur Recovery to RA 's one andthen Flash Ur Rom
I am using Elelinux one , quite good

Actually I prefer Froyo, but only because it's alot smoother. I dunno about benchmarks and stuff, but it does run more smooth than any of the Gingerbread roms I've tried.
Though if you can survive with a little bit of stuttering, go TastyGinger (by RaDuG) or Elelinux' Gingerbread. If you want Froyo, I strongly recommend Cyanogen 6.1.
Well, here is the complete guide.

Ok so at the moment i have froydvillain which is ok but am looking to use cyanogen mod. I installed the file (update-cm-6.1.0-rc1-hero-signed.zip) on my htc hero and it worked perfect except the rom didnt have a market for buying apps? Anyone know why or how to get it?

hmm you'll probably need to flash a gapps package as well...search for it on the cyanogen site

best build ever, make sure to get launcher pro and your good
everything works
very stable
nothing great about gingerbread
is there a way i can cyanogen mod on it...cause the thing is, i am using this version right now but it is missing the radio and i love listening to radio.
ive tried a good few of sd builds and NAND ones too and the best build i have used is the MyTouch 4G build by Motoman... he has made NAND and sd builds and as far as everything working smoothly for everyday use his is the best. if you wanted to look at it here is the thread link.
