I want to thank everyone in the community. Awesome work everyone. I am a long time Android fan. I started with a G1, MT3G, Cliq, moment, and now my hero. I thing that I am among the only one when I had and rooted the cliq but I liked the interface. I guess my question is one, would anyone else want a cliq rom? Two, is it possible to take Motoblur from a GSM rom and port it to CDMA? Third, Would there be any volunteers to try if the other two questions are yes?
I do not have linux and it has been a while since I have used it. I am more then willing to help in anyway I can if this starts to become a reality.
Thanks again to all the DEV's you guys are what makes Android, Android.
I'd love to try it out if anyone could manage this. Sounds like it would be quite an undertaking.
I'm working on this now. It boots, but blur and pretty much everything else force closes. Once I get a stable booting ROM without force closes I'll post it up. I'm real busy right now, but I will be able to work on it in the next few days, so hopefully I can get something goin. This doesn't mean no one else should try, by all means do, incase something happens with mine

Run the logcat for us, or PM me a download link. I'd like to help debug in any way I can.

Leukay, send me what you have. I have some time this weekend free. I want to take a look at what you have...of course that is if you don't mind.

Thanks for the offers guys, I appreciate it. I'm very much a noob at this whole cookin' thing, but I'm working hard. I'll post up a logcat and give you guys a download link that wanna help out. It won't be for a couple of more days though (dealing with some problems with my hard drive ) but I will get them to you guys as soon as possible. Thanks again!

Anything new with this?
Just an FYI I've got a system bump of the backFlip - yeah I know stupid base. But it was easier to find than the Cliq dump. I am purely interested to see if I can even do it. Once I get something bootable I will post it....assuming I actually get something bootable.
The server that I am downloading from IS SOOOOO SLOW - 22 k on a 66 mb file....CRAP!!!!!! My battery may go dead before its done!
i'd love to try a blur rom... willing to donate to the cause... I'd also like to learn how to do some of this stuff... how would i get started?
^^^^^ same here. Im gonna search the thread and google but thought that I would ask here as well, but how can a noob with zero experience with this stuff learn to do this stuff. I want to make apps for android and other platforms.

Read, Read, Read...if you want to develop, its not difficult if you have programming background. If not, ehhh good luck writing a program. Given Java is pretty easy to learn, just not a language I would want to start with. If you are absolutely new to programming go get a c++ book, then work out to other languages.
If any one cares I get to a boot screen - But I am missing copybit.heroc.so and am getting a JavaSetAlarmRequest error in logcat any Ideas? I can probably fix the copybit thing with putting the file in place, the java alarm baffles me.

Thanks for the info. I am 100% new to programing so we'll see what happens lol.
I would love to help in any way I can. I am not a dev by no means but I can try to help any way you need me to.
Hey guys, to those who are currently working on this. I am going to pass along some advice that Toast gave to me when I started working on this. Take the rom you want to port, open up the boot.img, and drop our kernel into the boot.img. Rebuild the boot.img, and resign the rom, and it might be bootable (hopefully anyways). That would give you a start, then you can go through and work out the bugs

Man, I would LOVE for it to be this simple! Lol but I can't find a boot.img for cliq or backflop any where! I am working with a bare Rom and trying to throw in bits and pieces of moto frameworks and jars and apks. Made progress to a homescreen but its unusable with fcs.
wouldn't you be running into a problem with the any system apks from blur that have optimized dex? The classes.dex is removed from the apk so how can you generate a dex to run on the hero?

Yeah lol, I agree, that's where I was getting, home screen, everything FC's. Ugh. I've had to abandon working on it due to school and other useless stuff like that....lol. But good luck man. There is a G1 Blur port rom called S_Blur. Download that, and try to work with that. It comes with a boot.img, so rip it (and ours) open, drop the kernel in, and see what happens
just thought of something... would we be able to sign in to the motoblue account? you have to have motoblur and gmail for this....
Ok so. I have been trying forever to get our kernel into the Blur boot.img.
I can unpack it, but I can't repack it. It keeps telling me that my ramdisk file doesn't exist! I CAN SEE IT ITS RIGHT THERE! I am running from a liveCD so that may be the issue.
Could someone please take the boot.img-kernel from the files attached and drop it into the BlurBoot.img for me?
I have posted our boot.img and the Blur boot.img in the attached ZIP.
On a side note, there is a pretty easy to follow tutorial on doing this
Here for those of you who don't have any clue what is being talked about and want to learn.
Anytime I try to do anything CPIO from this live CD (Ubuntu 9.1) it freaks out on me. Soooo maybe time to do an actual install and get this stuff setup like it needs to be.
looking for a droid 2.2 custom rom that works with metropcs i have tried simple,zen,fusion, but once i did the droidflasher program for the wap.mms i got noting... I currently have smokedglass v6.0 with an adamz kernel and everything is working...web...mms....market...etc. i know that i need one with iptables so i was wondering if anyone out there knows of one that works or even just a push in the right direction, not looking for free answers just a little help. thanks!
hey dude i had the same problem i tried bugles beast and nothing... i also have the droid flash from too n cain and that didnt help at all for 2.2 kinda sux that the program is useless with 2.2 so i tried a bunch of stuff and the one that worked for me was sapphire-1.1.0-droid also instead of using the droid flash i used the nv u get from white rabbit as soon as i loaded the nv files i got the 1x thing after that i had to use anycut to get internet. so now i have internet but no mms. funny thing is that i am trying to flash another droid with the same things and no luck getting the 1x but i hope it helps u. also set up with qpst that helps n remember to use the spc
Yea that kinda sets me on the right path I will see what I can and and try to get that one working with mms thanks man!

another thing, i dont know if you already know but make sure on qpst u change ur MIP mob+simp f/back
and on the ppp um u check the optimaze dormant handoff
ive been messing with different settings and this are the ones that always work for me. i know a lot of gides tell u to select simple mobile and check the 1x but for some reason that didnt work for me. u should really try n get that sapphire rom it works great. ill be tring the bugles beast in a second ill post back to see what happens. if u find something let me know.
I know that there is one I know this guy but he won't tell me just yet... yet was just like you'll get but I haven't ! But yea when I figure it out I will let ya know and I'm going to start messing with the sapphire rom and yea I knew about the mobile+simple ip but thanks for the tip
Wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Link can be found via their twitter acct. Sadly at&t doesn't want us to have it. I'm sure there might be an easier way, but I will probably flash a quick galaxy s rom and see if it will let me pick it up that way. Anyone else interested in getting this? Or if you know an easier way of getting it please let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.
I can't get the game either, on an AT&T Captivate in Canada.
Yeah I have been trying different phones etc this morning to get it. I put my phone as the Droid on their page and put in my phone number. It sent me the download link but when I clicked it, It said no downloads are available for your phone. I am trying to find a way around this ... grrrrrr.
If you try to download it from the WAPStore with a Captivate Rom it will say its not available for your device..
Right above that message is the option to change your device.. lol
Amazingly simple work around. Just change your device to a Vibrant and bada bing. You got game.
EDIT: 181mb file must be downloaded after you download the initial 4.something or ruther mb apk
Same here. Lotta people also saying what's floating around out there won't work on our Galaxy S phones.
it works fine one cyanogen, i dont know if i can post the apk?? i dont think i can do that legally since its not gonna be free for long..

Seconded this. When you reach the screen saying there are no downloads for your phone tap on the bar that says "Captivate" and navigate to Vibrant. Donezo.

Worked!!! Perfect. Now to see if this thing will actually run on this phone ... should cause its a fellow galaxy s but ya never know....
Interesting ... It doesnt seem to recognize internal storage. It says 182 MB free space required on external SD and the screen only has 2 buttons ... retry or cancel. I have abour 6 gb free so hmmm ... maybe it's time to pony up for that expansion space.
Killer find, thanks for sharing!
didn't have a problem getting it with di11igaf's rom, well cause its awesome lol
Make sure your user agent is set to android.
What's with the SMS permissions?
Great tip thanks

This was an epic fail on Gameloft's part...
Try this if you are rooted.

Please, I know I am not reading this. Gameloft actually has done it right because they KNOW ATT app locks their phones so that is why they don't allow it. Imagine if they allowed you to spend the $5 to buy the game, only to find out you couldn't install it, you would be even more mad.
Needless to say there IS a fix as I installed it on my phone right now. You do NOT have to have a special rom to do it either, this is all you need
Requirements:
Phone rooted (got to market and get "One click Lag Fix" does it easliy)
App unlocked or sideload capable
If you have done that go to this post and read this thread. I am also attaching the apk for this, just in case if no one wants to bother with the stuff below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819721
What you want to do is change the build.prop. PLEASE MAKE COPIES of your original before you overwrite it. That really is your only goal for reading that thread.
Changing the build.prop makes the phone look like the i9000 which Gameloft will allow you to install the app. After the app has downloaded and installed. Copy the original build.prop over again and reboot your phone. You must reboot your phone each time you overwrite the file. Hope this helps.
I figured it is a useful trick to know as know it will have helped me for the 2nd time.
Or you can use the Android Central sideload wonder machine ... it works! Did it earlier
Still a fail... http://twitter.com/gameloft one tweet they say it works, the next no, this has NOTHING to do with rooting or anything else, it is a pure case of bad marketing and failing to do their research...
I managed to get it, they say they were having problems. This morning when I tried it sent me a text to site but I didn't think you could change the phone from there. I tried a minute ago and changed phone to vibrant and all is good.
Be sure to check back on their site. They will have more coming out through Christmas, but the links only stay up for about a day. Some days its iPhone while others will be for Android.

hey guys, me and Tazz have been troubleshooting HTC Hub to see why it won't connect and we'd appreciate your help. Whatever you can think of that may help, let us know and test it out yourself! Thanks y'all.
So far, I've gotten it to connect once by replacing the htchub apk with the one from the Mild Salsa 2.3.3 rom. it won't connect anymore though, let us know what y'all come up with!

As far as HTC hub not connecting have you tried to logcat?
I got it to work fine on my phone. I went to HTCSense.com on my PC and signed up there. I lied and said that I had a Desire S. After signing up, you have to confirm your email address, then sign in on your phone. So, I went to the menu to add a widget on my phone and clicked on "Get more HTC widgets." Then, I just had to sign in on phone with the information that I used when I signed up on my PC. Everything worked, and since then I've been able to access everything on the hub that I wasn't able to access before.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but hopefully it is. Good luck. Oh, and sorry for the messy explanation.

have to agree with dragoon there, just starting out go with CM 7.0.3 or 7.1.0. easy to flash ,theme and tweek. good for a starter.
Well Ive had a rooted phone before. This is actually a down grade from what I had which was the MyTouch 4G. I used CM7 on that and loved it so I might have to give it a shot.
