BoostMobile rom

Most custom ROMs are developed for the Sprint side. You could start off with the Stock Boost ROM and customize it some yourself. Really the only difference between Sprint ROMs and Boost is the MMS settings and the bloat apps that come with the ROM.
 
There is a stockifyed version of gc01 boost too. Flash able zip on xda in under android development i seen it while searching through

Codegerm, I try to read and stay informed, but I acknowledge you seem to be a step ahead of me.
 
Unless you really happen to want the boost bloat, go with a Sprint one. You will have to adjust your MMS server settings for it, but that isn't hard to do. There are some nice ones available.
 
or i could try to make a boost mobile based rom d: but rom making does seem...daunting haha, but yeah there are some nice ones :3 just a matter if you like it or not haha

Option 1-Post #7 is a boost base deodex rom !

Option 2- if you want to get your hands dirty then try dsixda kitchen. And build one from one of your nandroid backups. You will have to adapt the kitchen, by adding a file with the mount points for your device. I can help you with this option! As I always build my own roms. Is up to you if you want to give it a shot.

Note:
The resulted rom from option #2 will be pretty much the same as option #1. Dsixda kitchen will not make you a developer.

I'm not a developer either but I build my own roms. Not from source of course.

I've been using option 1 for a couple days now. Works great. The only issue (if you can call it an issue) is that my pic messages are no longer confirming as sent in handcent.

Nothing to worry about as long as you have a good nan backup.

If you set up the right mounting points in the kitchen there is nothing to worry about. the kitchen will do all the work for you. Btw don't add any kernel/recovery to the rom you will be building @ least till you get to know the kitchen.
 
this is the list of the mount points:

# mount point fstype device device2
/efs ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
/boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
/recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
/data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 length=-16384
/preload ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
/sdcard vfat /dev/block/cyasblkdevblk0p1 /dev/block/cyasblkdevblk0
/sdcard1 vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Click to expand...


this is a breakdown of what the kitchen use for our phone.

this 2 blocks will be use for any repack kernel if you add it to the rom:
/boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p5
/recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
Click to expand...

this 2 only if you tell the kitchen to wipe everything before flashing:
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
/data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
Click to expand...

this one for the system folder you will be adding:
/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
Click to expand...

and this one is the preload folder you will be adding:
/preload ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
