I have a booting cm-10 on my host. It was built a while ago, but I was hoping to get stuff working before going public. The only reason I'm saying anything now is because my github is fairly updated and might be a good help.
 
Will there be issues arising in g60 using a Sprint phone and other users using a Virgin Mobile phone? I am still not sure what compatibility exists between the two versions.

Mms for one.

Exactly. That is a given. Also, the Visual Voicemail.

I was wondering about the modem and kernel in particular. I thought those were pretty much the same on both phones until the Speedball kernel caused issues on Virgin Mobile phones because it was made from the Sprint's Victory kernel.
 
The phone is here, I just got back from a 3 day conference and will start work soon on it.
 
I have been trying to pull the modem off the device. Can't quite figure that out yet. This stuff is kinda new to me but I have pulled the kernel, recovery, and stock rom into an Odin TAR if you want it.
 
Yeah I'll try and work on it tonight. I wiped the phone and it has a 4.04 android image. There is also an updated image it wants to download. So I will do that as well. I assume jelly bean.
 
I worked on a kernel for the vmsgv 4.1.2 yesterday and it has been running on my victory with no stability issues. I have not been able to get tethering working but that may be an app issue, i just don't know enough about it. If someone can show me what should be enabled in the kernel i can compare it to what i have and redo if needed. Here is the kernel...

Ok i was able to get back to it and using 'WiFi Tether for Root Users' it worked. I can make whatever changes anyone wants on this by the way. I couldn't figure out a way to screencap while tethering from my tablet but... heh

I swear i tried my best to NOT mess with this thing as i know how complicated stuff tends to melt my brain. But when i couldn't do stuff i should be able to do on MY device well, stuff is oozzing out my ears as we speak. I can make whatever changes anyone wants on this by the way.

Awesome. If I ever have time these days, I'm going to see what I can tinker with. Awfully hectic days right now though.
 
Updated the OP, I will continue updates in there instead of reposting new replies. I will just be updating the date of the thread name. Feel free to keep tabs, and if you can lend a hand by all means :) Off to sleep!
 
Lookie what we have here :)

While she now boots I am getting NFC and Phone errors once I hit the desktop which leaves the phone unusable. This is caused clearly to permissions problems in talking with the Radio's. Still needs some work but at least it's booting up now!

g60- Do you do donations? I would like to show my thanks once we have a functional version of it.

EDIT: haha, just found it. Sure, I'll buy you a beer later on.

EDIT 2: This is for the VM one, not Sprint, am I right?

Correct, I scored the phone last Friday 5/10/2013. Here is a write I have been working on but sort of fell behind on keeping it updated with where I am in terms of building and such.

Since I don't have access to my phone right now I am asking for some dev help. I would appreciate if you someone could post a logcat from the very first boot after loading the CM10 ROM using the Android SDK tool called monitor. The tool is located in the SDK/platform-tools/monitor. If you could paste the findings on pastebin.com that would be perfect!

Before you install make sure you have a solid backup on your external SD!!!

You will need to wipe all partitions accept SD. If you are using TWRP also make sure to delete the data partition.

I believe I fixed audio, and also wifi. If audio is truly fixed like I hope it is, there maybe a lot more things working on the ROM (Bluetooth, SD, Camera, Phone, etc). Here is the ROM for testing purposes.
