Root [Boost Mobile] Let's Start A Team ROM!?

Check out the voltron rom thread there is already a modified glitch kernel there with the pmi ramdisk... but I don't know about using the b07/b08 as a base anymore no hidden menu support... and the b08 was worst then the b07 as far as missed calls go... and you guys already port all the good stuff from the pmi roms over to B10G so... either way I'm in... :)

Then we should go B08 unless you guys don't mind my lack of contribution outside of project management as I'm not going to be able to dev from scratch due to my absolutely insane schedule. Pulling from current roms I can work with as it is a simple matter of resigning and small manifest edits I can do basic non coding stuff if we go the bo7 route.

Man we HAVE to have hidden menu support.

Let's see what merc thinks. We need to decide which version we are using and what kernel before we get crazy and a start working lol.

edit: yeah I just started thinking about it and there is no way I could redo lidroid and the jb panel from scratch with my hectic schedule. I used to have the night to code, but now I actually have to sleep due to work.
 
Also, I find you devs update your Roms 50% of the time because of new versions of apps available and I have a different way of flashing rom which I think is the way to go... the system should be only apps that don't get updated. EVER... and the rom should include a data folder with all apps that will eventually get updated.. since they are data, they get overwritten instead of having a dead one in your system and a updated one in your data... the only thing is that when the user makes a factory reset in recovery, you loose a lot of important apps... which is why I made the "Factory reset flashable" which performs the reset and reinstalls the apps included in data... what do you guys think? Makes it more like LTS release... No?

Couldn't agree with you more. The only app that updates on DS is super su. Installing apps with frequent updates onto the data partition is the way to go

I'm up for anything but B10 lol
 
B08c it is then? It has hidden menu support.it's not so bloated. We can port our work over much easier.. sounds ideal.

Works good for me the original DS was built on B08C, but that rom never seen the light of day on AF. Ill pick it apart and see if there is anything useful in it
 
what dependencies does the hiddenmenu.apk have anyways? when i included it in the system on a pmi ROM, the app would try to load when the data menu was dialed but would force close...
 
I'll try to take care of theming, how about a stock ics look? CTmod had toms of cool features that could be put in the rom too, like in the CTSettings menu. Status bar clock color control, am pm show normal small or no show, CPU control, swap control, etc...

Any chance you could make a rough description on how you did it for when this new rom begins to come together?

Also, the new ROM should probably be UOT compatible :o some people don't like how some themes or roms look so off to uot they go...

We should decide which kernel we want to use to start. Alien or glitch?

I'd go with the Alien kernel. Near the end of the Glitch kernel's development cycle, DTM said all future updates to it would be rolled into the Alien kernel, therefore that would give us the most up-to-date Gingerbread kernel available for the Warp.

If you are interested simply post with an "aye". And what you think you can contribute.

We will get a collective census of who is willing. By Monday night we will know who ifs involved.

Aye! I'm up for just about anything needed. As far as I'm concerned, any and all components of Warp OEM are up for inclusion. :)



If we're going to do this, we may as well make it the best thing ever :) That said, I think we need to go with PMI firmware, if that's what's fastest. Maybe we could even test out various firmware versions, stripping them down and building them to benchmark, then go with the confirmed fastest one.

So far as hidden menu support, I think we could mod that in with direct references from the settings menu, kinda like how I opened up time zone selection and some dev options (which normally aren't available for us) on WOEM. Not 100% sure about this one, someone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, I 100% agree! I attempted to do this with an older version of WOEM, but found it next to impossible to get my changes made to /data in the install-script to stick through rebooting. If we can iron this out, it would be great... no more wasted space on double copies of apps! :D
 
well i like the idea of going b08c because it offers a broader spectrum of discontinued roms to take from like cyanoid and shinjitsu... so my votes in for a b08cand alien kernel ...:)

you mean when we where trying to get actuall data to stick...installing apps as data is easy and I already did it in my rom... but yeah if we could incorporate a way to include settings for an apk that would be awesome! :)
 
O.k. so how about we get two people to strip deodexed b07 bo8 and b10 and bench them with alien kernel. Run out through some rigours for stability. Whichever is the most stable/fast is what we'll go with. Say we have it done by Monday night. At that point we can assign who starts working on what (ie skinny gets framework res, Smith can knock out other frame work files and so on for example... obviously this might not be exactly how it goes but a rough idea).

If it gets done sooner then we can start sooner or just hash out ideas from that point and set another deadline for the next step of the process.

We can get some of the people with the highest benchmarks on our Warps to test them out perhaps?
 
Doc's warp is sold, he had some of the best scores all the time, Mercs warp has high scores and so does Tigatron. aanadie had some good scores too.
