ROMs and DEVs

So forgive me for rlbeing "that guy" but I think other people are wondering the same.
I'll try and keep this post updated with links to any ROMs and DEV Twitter/Gootle+/GITHub info so we can keep an eye on development. But first we need to know what DEVs we have on board and any current projects.
DEVs:
Known ROMs/Projects:
timbrendelaz - System Dump (Link Please?)
JackpotClavin - CWM
Remember, most projects linked in this thread are likely highly volatile to flash, so please be diligent and read the thread before using anything linked.
Note: If I'm lacking on keeping this updated and you are interested in taking over the thread please let me know. I want this to be as open and helpful to our users as possible.

I've got a system dump and I'm currently working on a ROM based on that. It wont be able to be flashed easily by the masses without CWM but I know that also is a work in progress. I will keep ya'lls updated on my progress which is slow at the moment because my wife is very pregnant

How do you navigate and select things?

Is anyone interested in also working on usb cable triggered fastboot? IMO it's the biggest blocker for custom recovery & rom development
possibile alternative is to flash a u-boot that always enters fastboot (just for devel purposes).. well, but really it's jsut a different risk of bricking
My 2c
yeah i'd be interested in that i pm'd you
Sorry for the long wait for an update, busy with the family. I'm going to be scouring the Android Development forum to add more to the list.

Looking for DEVS to help with Motorola XPRT side project.

Hello everyone!
My name is AndroiddiordnA and I have a Motorola XPRT that I am looking to revive from the brink of extinction.
I am looking for a couple developers that are willing to work with me on three assignments.
1. Getting a stock deodexed rom .zip flashing in recovery.
2. Initial port of any form of AOSP rom (cm7-cm9)
3. Take that port and make it into a form of daily driver.
All three assignments are separate as I will be offering reimbursement for each.
Reimbursement can be discussed over PM *NOT IN THREAD*
Please let me know if you would like to help me with my project. Either message me below, or send me a PM.
Thank you,
AdA
I know very little on the development side of things, but i just wanted to say THANK YOU!
I have been searching and searching for roms for my xprt.
I was so happy to see ur post about making some.
like i said im not very good on the dev side of things, but i will do my best to help as much as i can if needed.
again, THANK U!
Rom development would be much easier if I could root this thing already :c

Sony finally supporting MEID unlock!

Good news for all of you R800x users. Sony Mobile has finally added MEID support for unlocking your phone through their website (this could apply to other phones that use MEID as well).
I just went through the instructions on the Sony's website for getting the unlock code and then followed Ridder's guide and the install ran without any trouble (I'm not entirely sure if his process will work with other roms, can someone confirm this?)
I'm now off Verizon's horrible rom and running CM9 .
Anyways I just wanted to let people know, enjoy
*If youre having trouble with flashtool, try doing it using using the methods discussed in the links I provided above (Sony Instructions and Ridder). Alsomake sure you have Sony's Fastboot drivers installed.
Awesome I guess, can anyone confirm this for Locked R800i models? Mine is a factory unlocked, I'm just curious if Sony decided to provide a free unlock for everyone since they abandoned us on Gingerbread.

Its worth a try. Follow the steps on the unlockbootloader link I gave above, it tells you how to check if you can unlock, and what else needs to be done.
Great news!

Yea It worked finally on CM 9!
Although my phones bootloader was unlocked over a year ago via the unlock code (thank you ashergrey) I have embedded a screenshot of what I see if I follow the prompts to unlock my phones BL, even though it is....
I just went ahead and listed my phones MEID # in the sony website and 3 seconds later had this in my email inbox.
See attachment.
As I am already unlocked it appears that Sony really is now unlocking VZ Xplays. My contract ends in 2 months and I am thinking of just getting an AT&T XP and unlocking that, can anyone with a AT&T XP see if it will work for them? That would be fantastic news if it will unlock AT&Ts as well.
Yay!

I cannot as my phone is factory unlocked, and even if I did relock my bootloader it isn't network locked so I could have always unlocked it,
My Att play still has a locked bootloader and apparently my MEID is 1 number too long. Eh, it was worth a try.

This just means R800x users will not have to pay for bootloader unlocks anymore, it doesn't effect cdma development because we have already been working with unlocked bootloaders for over a year

what's the problem?

Bl unlocking fund?

I am a former defy user, and I seem to remember there may have been a small donation collection someone tried to setup in order to entice some deva to work on a bootloader solution?
I'm not sure if it actually was successful (I know there's a 2nd boot available now,) but would it worthwhile to try setting up something similar for those of us that missed out on unlocking or BLs while we still could?

This is for the HD, but if they unlock the HD the same exploit should apply to the M. The BL unlock in April was applicable to the M, HD, and Atrix equivalents. I wouldn't hold your breath, though.
Thanks, I guess I'll just have to washout for the official update.
Can't wait to flash my old defy for fun though!
