[Q] Porting Milestone ROMs to xt800w - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Good day!
I am pakpaker, and I hav been browsing xda-developers for about a month now for developments for my beloved xt800w, thanks to J.Y.Daddy for his awesome work of porting ROMs to this Korean-specific unit.
Now for the question: how can I port a ROM made for the Motorola Milestone to the XT800w? There was one post that said that it was a matter of symlinking, because they almost have the same hardware.
I have experience in Linux, but I have only tried tinkering with ROMs, and maybe it is time for me to learn how to port than to impatiently wait.
Thank you very much!
Update: Will repost to the appropriate handset, Milestone XT720. OPs can close/remove this thread. Thank you very much!

Developing a rom

In the android development section for milestone specifically, there are many custom rom's that had been developed. This in return make me wonder how they develope/modify the rom. After some massive googling, i found out that eventually you will need a rom kitchen(correct me if im wrong) to start customizing.
my question is, can anyone summarize th steps of developing a rom without a rom kitchen(since i did not find any milestone kitchen) and where to start reading?
my second question is what method did luca, feeyo, ice and fire, use to customize kabaldan's cyanogenmod 6 rom??
Any info will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance..
regards
-dead serious in learning to develope android roms-

You can ask these people, they are working on porting sense to SGS2, the thread is active and quiet recent (Not old dead thread) and they even have IRC channel where you can discuss and have tips and pointers to start with

thanks for those man. so then it would be easier to port an entire rom?

yes, seems so as the sense files are deeply rooted in the rom but porting the whole rom and making it work will take great time and dedication specially with no other dev to help yet.

[Q] Port HTC One ROMs

Hello all devs and HTC One users. I've been searching a lot on XDA, Google and all over internet but couldnt find a better place to post this. I just got a HTC Butterfly S and wish to use CM, Paranoid, Carbon or ANY other rom which I can use CM Themes Engine and have an AOSP look. I had a HTC Sensation before, and loved everything I had using CM ROM.
I wished some dev here could port any of this ROMs to this device, I know is not an easy job. I already tried to do such work, but all tutorials, guides and etc on XDA refer to a BASE ROM, and my device is unsupported, so I cant have a base ROM to port. I know M7 has almost the same specs as ButterflyS, so maybe is a little easier.
I hope someone can help me, because I THINK I did all I can.Thanks :good:
--EDIT--
I'd like to know how XDA works with hiring devs to do such work, I can donate money, it will be not for free. Thanks
PS: Sorry for my bad english.
UP! Someone to help?

We dont "hire" devs. Development starts from the people that use the device. Even big name roms will not work on a device that someone on the team doesnt own.
So your best bet would be to find someone with the device, Then track down all the kernel and device source code.

Thanks zelendel, I understood now. I'll contact some devs to see if they can help me. Do you know someone I can start with? Thanks once again

Any XDA member developing ROMs for K3 note?

Hello fellow K3 note users and developers.
I got this phone a week back. I have already flashed around 9-10 ROMs on my device. I have to say that I'm not completely satisfied with any one of them. I had hoped for a huge development in XDA for this device, but unfortunately, we don't even have a Forum for our phone, as yet.
So, is anyone currently developing ROM/ROMs for this device? If yes, please let us know.
I am interested in ROM development, but I know almost nothing about ROM development, so If there is a project happening out there, I would be glad to learn from that, and be a part of it. At least as much as I can be.
Cheers!
P.S : I know that there are a lot of ROMs on that Spanish website and the Russian website, but I was hoping for more development on XDA.
And I'm currently on the Androium 5 ROM.
I would also be willing to contribute, even though it has been ages.

Hey, I really appreciate the interest. I will be messaging you in private ASAP. Hope I can learn a thing or two while giving the K3 Note community some good ROMs.
Cheers.
