Calling all Devs - Android Software Development

To any developers out there who has a Motorola Cliq 2, us non devs would love to see a guide on how to root this phone as well as some customs roms and possibly a OC option. My wife just got this phone and with a few tweaks it could be a very nice phone

Devs Question...encrypted boatloader

I am visiting here from EVO forum... The word is that there'll be an encrypted bootloader on the EVOO 3D just like the Motorola Droid X... can anyone weigh in on the problems this poses. It seems you guys have plenty of roms, but people are saying it will make roms nonexistent on the EVO 3D. Is this the case? Is it more difficult for Devs around here because of this?
Thanks for any feedback in advance!

It disallows us from flashing custom kernels; therefore, we can't have things like Cyanogenmod and true AOSP ROMS.
Our ROMS are made from the stock Droid X rom and have things like motoblur removed and replaced with AOSP applications.

It just makes life difficult if you like to customize your device. I also find that as time goes on, it becomes more annoying.

The thunderbolt key was a lot simpler and it was considered incredibly lucky they got through. The droid x has a 1024 bit RSA encryption key. Have fun getting through that
There's a lot of differences in MOTO and HTC's way of locking it down. MOTO has an encrypted bootloader while HTC uses an encrypted signature. Also a permanent root is possible on MOTO devices while only temp root on HTC. With HTC any changes made to the system partition are reverted back to stock on a reboot. Makes customs roms pretty useless. Unless we get lucky like the thunderbolt we won't have s-off on new HTC devices unless they let us.

Espresso ROM Finally Coming To The Fascinate

I've made Espresso ROM For The Droid X. And Will Now Finally Get It To The Fascinate. My Plan Was To Get It To All The Galaxy S Varients, Nexus One, Samsung Nexus S, Samsung Droid Charge, HTC My Touch 4G, HTC Droid Incredible, Wildfire, HTC Hero, Original HTC Desire, HTC G2 (Desire Z) And Aria.
When Will Espresso ROM Be Released?
Later This Week.
(If You Search Over On The Droid X Forums, You'll Find My ROMs Including Espresso, & Doubleshot)

His point is that JTs work on the fascinate is the reason all of these other mtd based roms are being ported to our device now.

Umm..so far all the Gingerbread roms that are out are still having some issues...low in- call volume, no hardware acceleration(videos), no flashlight...etc...and aren't quite fully functional as Froyo is just yet..which is perfectly understandable...
I was just wondering if your up coming rom will still have those issues....or if you are going to blow our minds with a fully functional Gingerbread rom for the Fasciante...

Completely understand your frustration. Unfortunately, if the devs don't have a full, stable source drop to work with, we really can't hold the current crop of common /generally recognized GB issues against them. Heck, they're probably more frustrated about it than the rest of us
OP, I look forward to the upcoming release and maturation of your project!
Another option would be terrific, but good luck with the SD card!

dont feel like its personal if you are met with flak about "new and upcoming" roms here. you can thank Tonu for that.
but good luck either way man!
My point is that no legit devs post coming soon ****...they work on something then release it...hype is just lame and time after time these threads end in disappointment or the rom just doesn't offer anything worth a hype thread

the work would stand on its own without hype...but i looked at his post history and there are nothing but coming soon threads for various phones
*if* one is going to do this type of thread, at least list what the rom is comprised of (aosp, tw, other) what differentiates it from other existing roms (besides a theme, there are enough throms out there) and why it needs to be hyped up

I do know one of my roms will have 2.4 Ice Cream when google releases the SDK. But most are AOSP coupled with Touchwiz. They will also come with my version of The JIT Compiler. They will also come with my version of build.prop tweaks. And more.

Help thread ExtremeLegend™ Fuse for ppl who can't post at dev thread yet

Guys, this a now help thread for ppl that couldn't post in the dev section yet, so if ur a new xda member , don't hesitate to ask questions here
To be honest I think one of the only things the community of the Legend is still waiting for is ICS with working wi-fi/gps/HWA. And since you can't really port that's not going to be great. But we got lots of Froyo/Ginger choices already...
well i'm eagerly waiting for a working cm9,both because it's ICS and CM. i'm very pleased with cm roms,so i tend to stick to them, but i'm open viewed and would take any rom,if no other reason then just for fun and for testing.
thansk for the offer
Is it possible to have a combination of Vanilla + Sense, like SuperVillainZ ROM found across the more popular HTC devices?
CM9. 2.2 & 2.3 are fully covered.
Thanks for the opinions guys

cool, ill see what i can do, mate, im actually still using the Legend, its my first Android phone and i love it its what got me into android and dont wanna waste it, im using both phones now
Senseless, speedy ICS with WiFi working.
ICS won't be made available as the Legend does not have enough RAM (384MB), the Adreno 200 is aged, and MSM7227 won't have enough CPU power to run it. We already have enough Froyo/Gingerbread ROM's for this phone. Is it a great phone? Yes. However, there are quite a few newer HTC phones that the devs are putting their time and energy into. Don't contradict me about the chinese ROM going around. As long as the devs can't find the appropriate driver modules for the WiFi, BT, and GPS, it's not worth using.
Maybe a MIUI port? Now MIUI is open-source, so I think that it's possible
Im gonna see what i can do, i think ill start with a very clean cm7, but ill work my way thru. Cheers for the opinions guys !!!
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
Kay, ive decided. Imma name it Extreme Legend Fuse, its gonna be based on latest stable version of CM7. Theres no use of making an ICS if it wont work properly as we have no ICS sources specifically for the
legend From HTC. No use. I dont wanna make a rom which wont work.
Im gonna keep updating u guys with news on fuse (WOW that rymes lol)
So this is gonna be a custom version of CM7
Stay tune for more info on Fuse

[ICS] should they stop working on it

I've been following the ics project since after my birthday (11/27/11) and a lot has changed but when it comes to (FFC) it came to me that its not gonna work till maybe after the summer or never, whenever HTC gives out the code bit what's your opinion about the ics for the EVO 4G?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
This doesnt belong in the Android Development section, belongs in GENERAL.
My bad I thought it was general at first. The system will automaticly do it for me as usual.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
ummm my opinion on it is that if they dont want to they shouldnt. It will give us an awesome rom but more importantly that means our wonderful devs are learning stuff. this means that in the future they can use these experiences to help them in work or in other aspects of there personal lifes. so dev on guys you are doing great
Why in the world should they stop working on ICS? It makes little sense.
Deck and Kang and others are making great ICS ROMs for lots of phones, not just the EVO4G.
htc will release the code.. because it is an open source project. when is the question, not if.
ics will come..

The OS code is open source. The device drivers are not last I knew. So no, HTC does not have to release driver code.
HTC may release the FFC code for our OG's as soon as they sell enough of their newer devices.
They seem to be dragging their feet in releasing the official ICS updates for the Evo 3D and the Evo Design when they said they would, but they're holding it back, why? Cuz they want to sell enough of the One series models before they officially update the older HTC models that are scheduled to be updated with ICS.
Its kinda crappy of HTC to do that, but hey, they're a "for-profit" business.
But in answer to your question, heck no they shouldn't stop developing ICS for our OG Evo's! This sh*t is fun as hell.
From AOKP b31 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
what is the point of this thread? why is that a question? sorry no disrespect.
Yeah, I don't get why a thread was started for this. But why should devs abandon ICS on Evo? Because they can't get FFC to work!? I've been on ICS since the minute they got camera working (around Xmas), and could NEVER imagine going back to GB or Froyo (well, ...maybe froyo).
Keep up the awesome work, all who are working on ICS for Evo.

The evo is EOL(end of life) HTC doesn't have to support it any longer meaning they won't release any source for it as they are not working on ICS for the device. Hardware mfgs may release source for the same hardware in other devices, like they did with the adreno or the devs may code their own drivers. But don't expect HTC to do a damn thing for the evo, period.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
All I'm saying we have a lot of people love the ics Rom but some people hate it cause no 4G. But let me tell one thing about the ics it came a lot since then and like some people who are poor or they don't make a lot of money, its hard to keep up with ics roms when the last two months the biggest change was 4.0.4 which is like starting all over again. Don't get me wrong with the debate about their work, its freaking amazing, but the biggest break through will be the ffc. Closest to that is from a horse ride to a plane ride experience
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I don't think that they should stop working on the ICS ROM's. I went from Sense to Ice Cream Sense to ICS and having ICS on my phone is like having a brand new phone. We don't have 4G in our area, and the front facing camera I hardly used. I am using gummyWorms ICS right now and so far had no major problems with it. There are minor glitches sometimes but, that is no big deal. I hope that the ICS developers can get everything working and I know that it will take time to do so. I appreciate all of their hard work in bringing us some ICS goodness to our phones.

Need some quick guidance.

Guys im sure as hell no newbie to rooting my own personal phones , but tomorrow my sister is visiting me from Florida with her new Evo on a fresh sprint 2 year contact (yeah dont ask) but anyways she wants to root her phone to tether on WiMAX. Could you guys guide me to the right links on rooting her phone and tell me which rom will be a kick ass rom for her. Most likely that will be the ROM she'll stay with for the rest of her contract.
Searching old thread isn't my thing. I rather suscribe to my own thread.
Also is the rooting process hard? My EVO 3d was a pain in the ass.

It all depends on the software. If its on 2.2 froyo you would use unrevoked. If its on GB 2.3.3 you would use revolutionary.io and if its GB 2.3.5 you have to use HTC dev unlock. I recommend that you put tommytomatoes classic rom on her phone. Its 100% stable and fully working and has great community support

+2 on tommy's rom. Is under the new evo 4g original development section. As far as rooting go is pretty straight forward, just find out which android version she is running ( which might be 2.3.5 ), and go from there.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Depends on preference, Tommy's rom's great. but have some variants for her. also may just show her some rom's she'll most likely want gb for stability and best performance. also HTC Sense rom's lagg a bit in my opinion AOSP seems to lag less for me and run more in a operational fashion.
edit install rom manager on her device and keep her stock rooted tell her she can change the software via that app. screen shot's info and downloads all in one nice little user friendly app.
Thanks for the great info guys. I'll be working on her phone tonight.
Just to make sure, with these roms, she still be able to use the HDMI out on the phone?
