Ok....it was really weirding me out that this hasn't been posted yet and I was assuming nobody had anything against posting about it, so here.
http://sourceforge.net/motorola/atrix/news/2011/07/atrix-gb-4591-source-code-available/
Atrix 4.5.91 is based on Google's GingerBread release which is available at: http://android.git.kernel.org/. The source code available here : 4.5.91 is for the kernel and Motorola-specific repos or changes.

I came from the original Desire world and the rom I would love is Oxygen, I know that's not going to happen but I am really excited to see what people can do with this power and room.
aosp is better then skinned android...smooth,quick,clean. im a basic kinda guy,dont need flashy...lol
Can someone please explain to me why the source code is needed to make custom roms?

Agreed. I put it on the N1 and... Bleh. No major improvements, a few bugs I didn't have stock. I don't get all the hype, unless it's just about removing bloatware and such...which obviously wasn't an issue on the N1. So far I'm loving Ken's Alien #2, but I'm definitely tempted to try Cherry Pi.
Anyway, source release is good! Will be nice to see the talented devs go to town.

Motorola takes the source and adds Blur. Then they add AT&T cap to it. HTC does this with Sense. Samsung does it with TouchWhiz. Source is just plain, stock Android, like you'd find on a Nexus device. It makes it a lot easier for a dev to add/tweak/optimize, because you aren't having to worry about how removing Moto's messaging app breaks wifi and causes pimples.
At least, that's my "I'm not a dev, but I play one on tv" understanding.

If you've never compiled a kernel before its kind of hard to imagine, but the scope of choices available to you are ...really massive.
We have to accept kernels from Motorola which they believe is best, or perhaps they have decided to do knowing its not best (for limitation features, carrier requests, etc.)
On top of the kernel is a lot of layers also, with decisions and configurations in each area customized to the nth degree by each hand that touches it and each revision is done. Everything from the default ring tone and boot screen to the default GPS server used for looking up GPS data.
The ROM developers are able to work around, and modify a lot of things, but having the source means they can work it from 'the ground up' in their own image, removing things that have been added without merit (such as BLUR) or moving the whole thing in a new direction.
As stated at the top, if you've never compiled a kernel its kind of hard to explain but I hope that gives you some idea of the scope of what goes into 'making your phone go'.
Folks, try to keep it clean and let's stay on topic. Don't post for the sake of posting, only post if you have something important to share.
Thanks!

Should this potentially mean that the CM team working for the Atrix now (aliasxerog, faux, samcripp, etc.) may have to start over now or does this just mean they can work faster, keeping what they've already done?

The kernel doesn't necessarily change all that much sometimes, so progress isn't really lost. Even still the changes can be reworked to the new source.

Yeah he said that, I think he wants to know if this may set them back...
I can't see how this could. They will just go compare what they did with the source and see if they need to make changes, and it will make the rest of it go faster. They had source for a similar device they were working off of. This will help tremendously I'm sure.
Anyone gonna be first ti put together a compile thread? I compiled my own kernel for n1 with battery tweaked driver. Can't wait to try on the ATRIX.

Posting a re-oriented kernel shortly. Sound through headphones doesn't seem to work. Most everything else does. The whole still beta thing definitely applies.
personally I am hoping that nexus S turns out to be pretty similiar to the Galaxy S. With the source and a good base I think we are more likely to get a 2.3 version of CM before 2.2
is CM6 gonna be that much better for our phones?

While I'm pretty sure they are almost exactly the same phone, I really doubt we're going to get source anytime soon. They are a couple of weeks away from a CM 6.1 beta release. It will have alot of the same issues the i9k roms do, but it should work well enough for most people.
I'm just glad Cyanogen has shown interest in the Galaxy S. That makes me feel like we'll see continued development, in addition to all the great devs already here for the Galaxy S series.

No, it won't. You have to use the one that glitterballs made from xcaliberinhands source and cyanogenmods kernel combined. The base i9k kernel won't work properly. Too many Samsung hooks in it I guess.

those three things are the hardest to get working when making aosp and cm work with android. i saw that in the droid and it happened all the time with the eris. Give it about 2 weeks and the gps should be working and shortly after that the camera will work. that is usually the norm.
Has a camera app from the market been tried yet? we use to use cameramajic for the eris. until the camera was fixed.
This rom is completely compiled and built from source . Its all AOSP at the system level, meaning it is not a blur rom with aosp apps and an aosp theme. Its the real deal aside from the stock moto kernel which could be causing some of the issues with gps etc.

We have an encrypted/ locked boot loader with a proprietary UI woven throughout our device. So I think alot of these devs have done an amaving job working around these massive roadblocks. So be grateful or crack the encrypted boot loader.

Apex is still pretty set into Blur. You have to look at Fission, GummyJAR, or other AOSP-like roms to see what you would gain. It's mostly losing the Motorola/Verizon installed junk, freeing up memory and getting a nicer base to install apps on. For example: the Facebook app doesn't let you sync contacts on the stock software on the Droid X/2/2G/Pro because Blur has its own Facebook implementation. AOSP builds let the app do its thing.

Good news everyone, I was about to get my hands dirty and try to port CM but happens that a fellow portuguese who is in CM team received a Black from LG and is already porting it!
He's very knowledgeable and it should be fast. Hopefully the port can be merged without breaking other devices (if this happens it'll be official and we'll have nightlies). Otherwise, well, I hope he releases it anyway or at least sends me the device folder so I can.
Here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGoVy4tQki0
We can also see here that he has a .35 kernel which probably the only way to have gotten it is with gingerbread. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, LG probably also gave him 2.3 sources, so the update should also be near.
Since I prefer AOSP to CM, when it's out I'll also use his device folder and port to a clean AOSP-ish ROM.

I know I'm wasting my time here and I really don't care anyway.
Still I think I have to clarify that I'm not talking about people using some "builds". I'm talking about the source code.
If you want to build a ROM for the Legend (and nearly every other device out there) you've got two choices: Push some files from official releases (RUUs) around and zip them, or compile from source.
As a matter of fact there's no project out there that releases working source code (for anything but Google's official devices) except for CyanogenMod.
Video encoding or decoding? msm* support? Backported code for ancient libcamera, libril and framework support for said ancient libraries? GPS backport or implementation? Kernel backports for Gingerbread? Yeah, good luck finding that somewhere else (no, I don't mean the CAF repositories where we are copying from and giving credit of course).

"Get a life"? Come on, don't be ridiculous.
MD5-sums can be quite revealing by the way. Or boot messages (like "Welcome to CyanogeMod" in MIUI). Some people were even charging for shady rip-offs – that's why the CM team ultimately decided to close down development and switch to "release when it's done".

Sorry, but you didn't understand the concept of a nightly build? There are no "attempts at a nightly build" and they are not even meant for users. Nightly builds are there to see if current code in the repositories still compiles. Nothing else.

Unfortunately not only for the Legend but for most other devices too.
Android was said to be open but in fact it's just proprietary crap again. No developer wants to spend months doing the work of forty CM devs, so they either join CM – or sometimes steal their work declaring it as their own – or use (or combine) binaries from official releases.
If you didn't care, you would be in other developers threads attacking their attempts at making something that just may work better than what you're pushing out.
Face the facts; People want more choices other than CM. I am willing to admit that CM 6.1 was a damn good ROM when it came out, but I can't for life of me figure out why you guys can't live up to the same expectations with CM7.
I have been testing the NewSense 1.0 RC's (HTC Salsa ROM) for some time, and I as I said; Without the lack of AP support, it works well and does not have the crash prone problems that I have seen with 7.0.3, and 7.1 RC1.

Oh Sorry.. Didn't know much of other devices.. Recently bought the Desire and currently using MIUI. Must admit that I believed the MIUI to be a completely rewrite of the Android framework..

I have been testing the NewSense 1.0 RC's (HTC Salsa ROM) for some time, and I as I said; Without the lack of AP support, it works well and does not have the crash prone problems that I have seen with 7.0.3, and 7.1 RC1.

You can thanks for that to HTC, because i haven't written a single line of code in NewSense. Only some crappy hacks.
Really, our community is too small and we have a lack of devs, but that's not all. HTC provide to us just ****ty sources. It just sucks!
Btw: this rom here is based on cm7...
Edit: I commented on the wrong ROM. My bad.
I still think Blayo's rom's are the best for Legend!
Been using them for quite a while and I never have had any complain!

Their earlier releases certainly used CM sources with modified framework and apps. I don't know what they are doing now – but as they don't release their sources I can accuse them of using modified CM source code as much as I want without ever being able to prove it so I refrain from doing that.
If you are interested, the UltimateDroid soap opera is a good read by the way.

That doesn't make your work worth less than anyone else's and certainly not "crappy".

I'd be happy if they provided the real sources for the binaries they are releasing but as a matter of fact HTC continuously violates the GPL and we can't do anything about that.

If you didn't care, you would be in other developers threads attacking their attempts at making something that just may work better than what you're pushing out.

Where exactly did I attack emiliano7's work? I'm actually very glad that someone is developing for the Legend and I never stated anything else.
You obviously on the other hand couldn't resist showing your arrogant attitude by addressing the CM team in this thread making false accusations. You can't take a discussion off-topic and then blame others for taking the same train.

Instead of making vague accusations you could have filed bug reports a long time ago. CM is a community project and nothing without its community.
It sometimes still makes me sad that for some people whining doesn't seem to be a problem but as soon as it comes to writing a good bug report they come up with various excuses.
So I've just flashed OmniROM on my LG Optimus 4X HD (p880). Probably this is the first unofficial build, built from Gerrit repos, I'm really proud of myself.
I'm pretty impressed that there were only a few changes needed and almost everything works, only BT doesn't work (easy to fix). I really like the quick settings flipping and how it shows Wi-Fi IP address when flipped. :good: I attach some screenshots.

Is this build available for download? Really eager to try it out
And will you be maintaining for the P880 on a Nightly/Weekly/whenever flexibly based? Sorry for asking that, just curious

Not yet. It's not even built from published sources, though there isn't much change in published ones yet.
Yes, probably I will.
Nice to see
In terms of going forward in terms of builds, we will be addressing these issues when we can. For now though, Omni isn't "officially" released in any kind of binary packages.
When the time comes, we will invoke the release processes, which will give nightly builds, with a weekly "tagged build". On Omni, nightly builds are expected to be stable, and encourage bug reports on them. A "weekly" is just a nightly that is tagged as "working fine", for those who don't want to update every day.

Considering cm/aokp look just like aosp...I care it dont look like that o.o
Can somebody who's already built and run the ROM do a hands-on impressions video of it?

The current look is the "AOSP" look. I imagine that longer term, there will be reason to look into modular theming systems. A lot of people want a "pure android" look, and generally the best way to avoid breaking things is to make any themes optional extras.

Thank you, you kind sir for the response
Sounds really nice guys!!! Happy to see entropy and xplod working on android roms again after the cm thingy! Also nice to see that maxwen is working on this!
Made a build for the Nexus 10. I installed it breefly and from what i could see is that it is indeed mostly AOSP. Nice touch is the rotating tiles. If you rotate the wifi tile, you will see the ip adres.
Anyway i am still too much used to some CM additions (like the ability to close all apps at once).
It is a good start and will keep an eye on the development.

More features on the way
It's mostly AOSP right now, we are currently in the process of adding a lot of the "useful" parts we know and love. If you want to get involved, feel free to do so on Gerrit.

Love it ^^
I've installed tilal6991's build on my Xperia T and it works like a charm. No superuser for some reason but otherwise it's perfect! Can't wait for this project to mature

Made a build for HTC Explorer,and it's running great,albeit with a few bugs(most are easy to fix)
The major thing i noticed was that all 4.3 roms for this device have a "lockscreen lag bug",but this doesn't!

Woah dude, you got this running on an Explorer? That thing is like...ancient. I didn't even think it would be capable of Android 4.1+ Props!
