Anyone working on a ROM? What else is needed to begin?

Since we have perma root, security off and a recovery..what else is needed to begin ROM development?
I know were still missing the kernel source so I'm thinking that may be it?
I've never done any real development but have always been interested and have seen some good newb guides. If no one else is working on this, and if I had a rom image, I'm more than willing to attempt something on here..no bloat, remap the genius, and try to get rid of the favs would make this thing would be prefect.

Currently Kmobs of the Teamdouche develoment team that develop Cyanogenmod roms for android devices is working on CM6 for the MT4G and last I heard all he had to finish up was getting the camera and Bluetooth working.

That's correct and about 2 hours ago he post this on his Twitter account:
First picture from mytouch4g cm6! Preview is still slow though...
The progress is excellent.... Thanks Kmobs...

I would be working on a ROM....IF I could actually root my MT4G. Having a pre-OTA device blows.

Right now I'd be happy with a flashable stock rom.

I have a mostly deodexed stock rom but I can't get two files to deodex and I can't get boot to flash via clock work. If anyone knows how this was fixed let me know and I will post a flashable rooted deodexed rom tonight!

Do a search for pd15img.zip.

Look in the development section. There are a ton of step by step guides if you search.

To revert back all you need to is flash the original tmobile rom that is in the rom development and it will take u back to the original state without root

Find the above file, have it saved to root of sdcard, boot into bootloader, bootloader will find the file on the card and prompt to install the stock image... follow prompts and done.
Nandroid first but really is easy.

I first flashed the 2.2.1 OTA. Then I flashed the stock recovery. Afterwards, flashed the stock radio. That's what I did. All are available in the Development section.

You could have used pd15img.zip to do all of that in one flash via hboot.

It's safer to flash back to the stock radio first to avoid getting stuck in a limbo situation in which attempting to flash back to stock results in "Main version older" with radio s-on rather than do it all in one step.

This guide should solve your problem. It involves hex editing the misc.img among other things to allow you to successfully flash back to stock.

If you used the gfree method of rooting, the following guide is pretty good:

[Q] Possible to flash CMW after OTA GB update?

Is it possible to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery after applying the 2.3.4 update?

Yes if you have s-off

How about for us people with s-off and stock 2.3.4? Are we stuck on this ROM until someone gets root?

I believe that they are working on a way to break 2.3.4 still. I haven't noticed any post confirming a successful root of the OTA update.
There has been some talk about gingerbreak doing something but it was experimental and I didn't do a whole lot of digging so I wouldn't recommend even trying.

Does anyone know if there's an updated guide to downgrading? I think the links (like to download the JAVA JDK) needs to be updated. I've spent hours reading and trying to find exactly what I need to download. I've tried installing 3 different JDK and none of them will let me install the Android SDK.
Edit: I found a fix to my problem. The Android SDK wasn't detecting JDK, all I had to do was click back then next, WTF...

Unity Virtuous 2.37 Front Camera not working on mytouch4g

Ok, some how i tested the front camera on mytouch 4g to take a picture, but i notice that it was not working.
So, tried and tried but the onlyt hing that came out it was that only black screen, and freezes.
Since i installed the ROM i did not test the front camera until now.
Is there any fix?

Just do a complete wipe and flash the rom again. May be FFC will work now.
If you still face problems try any other roms than VU.

Also try the ffc without any themes. Some themes break stuff.

Yea. Just go into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik under advance and reflash the rom.
Once it boots up just fix permission in rom manager, reboot and try the ffc without any mods.

You must downgrade to 2.2.1 before attaining S-Off.
No one here recommends HTC Dev.

I incorrectly assumed you had S-On.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so, there is a rooted 2.3.4 in the dev section you can flash.

You bet. As long as it's for the myTouch 4G.
On our phone, S-Off is the most important thing. Flash away. Just make sure you wipe data, cache, dalvik and system at minimum. I would recommend you look into 4EXT recovery if you don't have it.
