i think it s a very GOOD idea !!!
every body work on 2.1 , but if every one goes on this idea , i think we can try froyo
a unique and comon good rom
but is every developer are going to work in a same and good rom ???? that is the question
they all have a good experience in 2.1 so why not a 2.2 ..... now

As far as I can tell this is allready happening with the abyzou rom. I recon 5-6 ppl are working on it, or atleast they have been.
2.1 that is, and so far it works perfectly with the exception of the camera, being worked on though

I can help make web.

where have u seen many artists painting one peace of art?
Programming is like an art! Everyone have it own style! I doubt it would be possible to make such a team, as everyone would like to put something from his own in it, while other one wouldn't like it!
Some developer can help other, like someone could help abyzou rom to get camera and sens! Then the person who helped could use working camera/sens for his own rom.

i can be one of your testers and if i've time i can try to study something to let it work on froyo

Work in such kind of things in teams its very hard if there is no leadder,no competiton and more than 2 or 3 people.
Frist of all the leadder has to set the objectives and asign each team member a work.
As i can see in the forum there is a big
cooperative spirit and i can asume than all of you visit tattoo forums frok your contries.
We are a lot of people.
We need someone to lead all of us, someone testing, programming or weathever...
But for teamworking is better to own a laedder.

I agree.
I will make team for making colaborative ROM. Just create the rules.

i'm here

ikxdf has just made a 2.1 nearly completely functional. Support him now and then we all could work on a 2.2 porting

I m ok for testing every thing
got tattoo and teamviewer for help ........
can format for windows or ubuntu ......
with froyo , we could have google earth on tattoo lol !!! nice

I can be the "leader", but i don't want to give orders.
But, i think the ROM must be basic...
Basic, i want to say no more apps installed (as Twitter, ...) just, basic apps.
Then, i think we cam make a team with a lot of developers even if each developer has his way of...
The Tattoo community is welded, i'm sure of that.
But everyone must play a whole...
What do you think honestly about that?
I'll modify first post if people are ok for try this big project...

I m ok for that
i have not lot "competences" but can help with the few one ......

so we got a leadder (gabsx23)
i thnik that your mission is give peaople work to do.
and fix the priority objectives, a kind of primary mission.
as the itilian developers team (alberto, ikxdf ... you know them all) is finish right now the eclair version (its awesome guys) i would focus on froyo...
i propose as primmary mission to do a bootable version of froyo...
what dou you think guys?
and gabsx ,it would be great to start with creating a froyo rom post start as soon as possible in a tiddy way.
(im sorry for my bad english...)
well dudes... lets start.

will you start from N1 update.zip?

We can but it's not the good release...
The good version of Froyo coming soon (Google say ^^).
But we can start with an other 2.2 official ROM and wait.
I just want already to make a good team for preparing that.
Do you think is it a good idea?

Yes, why do the job 2 times? better waiting for the "real" stable version..

Yes i think too

Would like to help, but why don't you wait until the froyo source comes out??

For already create and prepare a team for develop directly a good ROM with many people who want stable Froyo on Tattoo...
I don't know if you understand me? lol

Community ROM ideas(nothing but love)

I hope this will come to fruition with the input and help of everyone here.
I think having a community ROM(s) where all contributors get a equal share of donations would be a great idea for our community and catch on. That way when one donates it goes to all contributors developers/bakers/and anyone else who would be contributing by managing the thread/hosting or anything else that would be a part of the new Community ROM(now that's love). The specifics can be ironed out (suggestions welcomed). I personally don't want to be a contributor just the inspiration to get this moving. So I will be out of the picture.
Any suggestions would be welcomed!!!
A few I would have are:
How would developers divide the moneys? I was thinking a trusted and liked community member who would run the thread. Or if their was a way to set up Paypal or something to divide payments to all contributors(probably unlikely)
This Community ROM should be about 100% Love and that their should be absolutely no fighting over moneys. If an individual doesn't want to receive money then they must suggest a cause to donate to.
When one donates to the Community ROM, it's exactly that, they are donating to a community!! Now thats love!
(please post in thread)

i think thats a good idea...i see certain people getting tons (litterally TONS) of donations, yet the people that are really behind a lot of that development are getting next to nothing. I see no problems there....giving credit by listing a name means nothing unless a portion of the donations are credited to each person involved.

Yeah, i agree with this. A commynity rom would be great if we all put our heads together.

I agree good idea.
the rom should be a generic rom

I am very much so interested in this idea, the question is, what kind of ROM would we be aiming to build? I'd be simply satisfied with a true, working AOSP build

I second Kaik!

I am glad to hear this. ROMCOM sounds like a good name.
Seriously though if you guys want to do a aosp then by all means do it. I just wanted to put the idea out there , if you want to get all nasty and make a baked out ROM then by all means do it. It was the concept that i wanted to see incorporated in this. It all love...

Yeah, a working community ROM would be a godsend. Look how CM worked out. If we could build and then submit for approval to one person, or the community as a whole, we could come out with something great.

I think this is a great idea!!! We should do this for AOSP!! Im glad to help out even without donations but I'd take some too . Lets all get together on an IRC for planning this out imo? Want the channel to be #captivateaosp?

I don't know. I'll be the naysayer here, and say I think diversity is best. Cooperation? Sure. Trading ideas and being open and transparent? Yes. Trying to make everyone work on one rom, whether it's the one they want or not? I dunno

I'm kind of thinking along the same lines. Community stuff is great. I like the idea. And I also agree that it's a shame that some people end up getting lots of donations while the people that came before them making their ROM possible get nothing.
But like E-man said what about the normal diversity that we'd see with ROMs?
If everyone was working on only one ROM would they still have time to work on a ROM that has all the whistles and bells, and a ROM that has the bare minimum, and a ROM that has a fancy UI, and a ROM that....?

I'm all for this, but frankly I don't think there's a lot of incentive for the folks who know what they're doing to start working on something like this at the moment. We just got our first Froyo leak and the rumors are floating around about when this will become final. My point being, most serious developers aren't going to want to start working on Eclair when Froyo is really close to being on the scene.
That said, I'd love to see a project like this take place, and I'll be more than happy to test things, troubleshoot things, and help out where I can to support such a project

Like I said before this is a layout as long as the principles are applied then if some or few or different developers and contributors want to start another one or two then by all means do it! This principal should not be contained to just one ROM but used as a template for future ROMs. It's the communal monetary sharing that should always be applied in whatever ROM the community builds.

Thanks to all the developers

I've been a member of this forum for about 4 months now, and I just wanted to post a big thank you to all the developers out there in a thread that I think should highlight their work and for us to show our gratitude to them.
I bought my HD2 (T-mobile) used, through ebay (to the caribbean) and have been loving it ever since, primarily due to the development published in this xda-forums. It's good to know that google shows the xda site as the first sight when looking for apps and roms, tweaks, etc. for my HD2.
I'm technically capable, but haven't done programming in about 8 years, but I remember the struggles, and these guys here keep putting out new developments, one after the other to keep us up-to-date. I moved from stock ROM to EnergyROM- Dinik, then to Energy Titanium. Before the end of last year I was using dual boot with Android Froyo by Darkstone. For the new years, the developers again moved progress with us now being able to run NAND versions of Android on the HD2. I've so far installed and tried 3, finally sticking with the Prj Clean Desire ROM - Froyo version (I like room to add my own apps without clutter).
I try to support as much as possible, but sometimes I do miss.
I decided to start this thread for a single, simple reason. To give the respect, gratitude and thanks to all the developers on the xda-forums who continue to ensure that our HTC phones are well optimised and continually on the cutting edge of new mobile software, applications and platforms (I'm sure we have yet to see a Windows Phone 7 adaptation yet).
For me there are a few whose names/aliases constantly appear:
Cotulla (the god who gave us HSPL and magldr)
Dark Forces Team (DFT)
Darkstone
EnergyROM creators
Core ROM creators
Hastarin
Miri ROM creators
Cyanogen creators
Once again, mad props to you guys and the many other developers out there.
If I were HTC, Microsoft or Android, I'd be hiring you guys without question.
Keep up the good work.

Nice speech there mate! Without doubt we all show our graditute and we thank the developers for their hard work, imagination and dedication!
We also want to say THANK YOU to xda forum that made all of these possible!

Let's not forget dcordes, netripper, letama and markinus for getting Android for the hd2 where it is today. Without them starting the project and getting the Linux kernel ported, we probably wouldn't even have a working Android yet.

NS4G Dev Team Looking for ROM Devs

I'm working on a rom for NS4G that will feature a custom launcher, UI elements, apps, widgets, etc. We are looking for developers who would like to work on the project.
If you are interested or have questions, just send me an email at: [email protected]
Thanks!

I will help for kernels

I may be able to help.

I can do graphics.

Thanks for responding, I sent everyone a PM.

I just want to say thanks. The dev is really weak and dry for the Nexus S 4G. Mathkid and a few others have supported us well and I am thankful. ROM wise it's been super dry.

I appreciate the support UniqueNate. I agree, the dev support for the NS4G is kind of weak. Which is surprising since it's kind of a dev phone (in my opinion).
Keep looking out for us and the rom!

i think that you should stop bumping this thread. that makes it spammy. instead of an open thread, a moderator will end up closing it. at least post something instead of writing "bump". anything.

If you need devs, and don't need hosting, what are you yourself doing?

@simms22 you might new right about that, I'll keep that I'm mind. Thanks
@Jonnythan we're building a custom rom. Other than that, I'm not sure what your question means.

I have a dev team now, we're just recruiting more devs. And the number of devs you need depends on how big the project is really. Some people do it alone, but you also have large teams like cyanogen mod team.

Hey can someone direct me to where I can begin to learn how to port roms to NS4g?
Thanks

It's a Nexus S, pure vanilla. Apps are all over the market and here, the launcher is stock, it's up to marketers and developers in the market to create those and hand them over to be used, same goes for widgets. Not to be a basher, but most dev teams started with solo work finding interest in someone else's and and them stealing from eachother then co operating.
As Johnny was asking though, what work are you doing yourself, not your team, but you? We need a lure, and some hope, not be drawn into a Project where the man in charge is scooping everyones work into a pot to call his.
What part do you play in your team? What ideas do and future do you see for your rom. Do you see it as big as Cyanogen coming with nightlies, or is this a whole new game. I really can't see a custom rom built for Nexus besides ASOP, MIUI roms that we skin and theme ourselves, all we have to look forward to is ICe cream Sandwhich, and some useless ports of other launchers and possible Framework- which won't happen on this phone with a new Nexus coming out.
If you are for real, I am a very good artist, and designer and developer but have very little time to play around. LMK your role, and i'll keep it in mind and get back to you.

what kind of devices? i'm working with a couple motorolas and htc's but i'm sure plenty of testers can be found and can expand to many other devices. i'll be honest. I have built several ROMs from source and have TONS of saved mods and tweaks which i can refer to but I'm not good at working with interface. btw I am on the official team for SwiftLinux, so I have plenty of Linux experience, but tbh one again I won't be the BEST asset to the team but with guidance I have been looking for this for a long time and I am willing to do anything to get on a with some expereinced ROM builders to show me what I don't know, and to add my time (which is about 18 hrs a day) to helping put out great ROMs. I know how to build from source, I know how to port, I can use kitchen, I have experience pretty much everywhere, the only place I've really failed is UI mods.

Hi lemonoid
if you wanted to help us impoverished guys over on Tablet Republic with ROM development for the i.MX6 quad core Sanei N10 tablet it would be fantastic.
It's still only ICS but we were hoping for JB and a dual boot version with Ubuntu like the upcoming DaVinci Nibbio which is being released mid March.
Sorry if this is out of line but we need all the experienced help we can get as far as ROM development is concerned.
Thanks

Not out of line at all. I think all ROM development is great!

We could use new devs for the HTC desire, we don't have good working camera in android 4.x or kernel 3.. If you are interested, the desire community will be thankful..
Greetz

The epic 4g touch section has a bunch of great devs. But we have lost a few. Im sure they wouldnt mind more help.
Since the losses, i think they've been having trouble with a few different things. We have great 4.2.2 roms, but no official samsung releases. For some reason, they cannot get JB modems to work. No CWM touch recoveries, and a few bugs that havent been solved for a while.
Just giving you options.
