[Motorola Droid RAZR] raziel23x:
BootMenu Based ROMs

Everyone you know me From my work APK Multi-Tools which is a tool that allows you to de-compile and recompile any given APK file as well allowing you to do many task other task that you normally cannot do with the apktool.jar which my tool was written around.

For the Past Few months I have been experimenting with two groups source code:

STS-Dev-Team

https://github.com/STS-Dev-Team

and

Android Developer Alliance

https://github.com/AndroidDeveloperAlliance

I have just started recently been Following Whirleyes

https://github.com/whirleyes

Because I was doing random searches on the Android Market for Backup Managers since Clockworks Mod did not support my device and all that Droid RAZR Utility did was root my device and only gave me a choice of two recoveries RAZR ICS Bootstrap and RAZR Safestrap. That was when I found Whirleyes BootMenu application. It was a lot easier to setup then using Safestrap and basically did not require me to do any special song and dance to get it to work right out of the box. Unlike Safestrap which you had to do a bunch of steps before it allowed you to even begin to flash the rom until BootMenu which only required you to do some prep work which you only had to do once. Unlike Safestrap which you had to do every time you wanted to flash a rom or make changes.

Background story on why I choose the Motorola Droid RAZR:

I originally upgraded to the Motorola Droid Bionic because my Original Motorola Droid needed to be retired since My old Team i was working on Liquid Smooth Roms stopped supporting the device and we all upgraded to different devices and Liquid Decided he no longer supported Development with Motorola Devices because of the Locked Boot-loader. I originally Upgraded to the Motorola Droid Bionic but That device was more trouble then it was worth because when it upgraded to the official OTA updates from Verizon It kept Hard bricking and I got tired of re-flashing the base image over and over again so I took it back to Verizon and they sent me a new Bionic and that did the same thing when it done the official OTA update the very same day I opened it up to activate it so I called them back up and was this phone you just sent me just did the same bloody thing the one you sent me. All I did was cut open the package it came in powered on the device signed in with my google account let it sync with the servers, waited until the phone activated then it notified me of a OTA Upgrade so I told it yes. It downloaded the update then rebooted into recovery flashed the update then bam all i got was a blank screen not matter how many time i pulled the battery and powered it back on. I told them seriously you going to send me another one that will just do the same thing the last two did and they then told me they was going to send me the RAZR instead and that is when all this started.

Now that all the background information is completed and everything is explained to the best of my english speaking ability lets get to the main reason for this post.

I am starting to work on Actual ROM Development other then a way to de/re-compile them to make changes or to just change a image or two.

I broken my Project into two groups

APK-Multi-Roms

https://github.com/APK-Multi-Roms

This is where all the actual rom development is done

And

BootMenu-Rom-Base

https://github.com/BootMenu-Rom-Base

This is where all the BootMenu Source is found for developing a Rom Using BootMenu Code.

I created these two Github organizations to keep them seperated from my APK Multi-Tools Work.

Also I broken them into two different organizations as so that I can better track of everything also in case someone wants to be apart of one section but not the other to help with development.

I am still setting up the environment for the Roms and there is also a lot of work that is going to be needed before the very first BootMenu Rom will make it appearance other then converted Roms that was written for Safestrap that was converted to work with BootMenu

http://bootmenu.apkmultitool.com is the website hosting my work so far with project for creating BootMenu based roms.
