[EVO 4G Android Development] miphonematt:
It doesn't matter if it has an AOSP kernel, or one with Vendor modules (like HTC's kernel for Sense ROMs). Also, keep in mind that this is a leaked version that we don't even know for sure is a production release version. If you've watched videos of this ROM on the Liquid, even that has some sluggishness and it's running on the device it is intended for. Now, there is certainly the argument that we can count on IncDoes to work the same magic on the ROM that IS released and pushed out to Liquid, but there is all the rework that would then have to happen again. I bet that's why, other than king and the other guy who said he'd look at it, no one wants to touch this. Then there is the fact that this ROM was originally for a GSM phone... the same reason why stuff doesn't work on the Desire HD, Desire Z, and MyTouch 4G ports. And then on top of all that, this thread is filled with mainly ungrateful and impatient people. Who would want to touch this ROM?

Well... Me I guess.

So here's the deal. I'm nobody here at XDA. This is my 36th post. I've never released a ROM to the public, ever. By no means should anyone get excited or thank me.

I've been a programmer/software engineer for over a decade and a half. I have a degree in programming (read, Computer Science). I've worked in the "Java field" for over 8 years. I've been a Unix/Linux SysAdmin for 14. I've been a Unix user since 1992 (but I'm much younger than you'd think). I've cooked ROMs and made themes just for myself, always based off other people's work since my Nexus One (got mine a month after release in US). For a "ROM Dev's Resume" that is not even on the same hemisphere as impressive.

With that being said, I think I may be able to make some headway. I've been going through the classes, and I am starting to get a handle on what my approach will be.

My first orders of business are phone and wifi obviously.

I'm going to bed as soon as I finish this post. But let's be 110% clear here. DO NOT ask me for an update. I have a full time job that I often clock 60 hours per week at. I also have a daughter and a girlfriend that lives with me. I also have a promotion/photography business.

Now, I work from home and often read XDA, work on flash/xml for my personal business, and other "screwing off" type things during the workday and especially when I'm mind numbing conference calls that I really don't need to be on. I'm also very communicative... my posts and my emails are often long and frequent. Even if another dev ends up picking this up, I will continue to work on this. I am pretty passionate about this being my debut as a dev.

I really want to see this thread consist of good and constructive contributions to the conversation. DO NOT ask me for an update. Again, DO NOT ask me for an update. I'm giving you people a chance to make good by king through me. You will treat me with respect. I have a very low tolerance for stupid. "I can't wait for an update" and "I'm excited about the possibility of an update" are not constructive contributions to the conversation. Move devs ignore those comments. I write corporate/commercial banking software much of the day and I am accustomed to intelligent and constructive contributions.

I am giving you a timeframe for when you can expect my first update right now. 2 days. In two days, the update may very well be "I have nothing to report at this time". More than likely I will post some of my findings and observations, and at least some of it will go over most of the folks in this threads head. Maybe another dev will chime on my comments (or anyone elses) if we can manage to keep things on topic and limited to constructive posts.

Right now things will be in the research phase. I wouldn't expect any test results any sooner than a week, and even then, there may not be a zip to flash.

I'm going to bed ya'll, I'll talk at you soon! Wish me luck! (Wishing me luck IS constructive in my opinion ;) )
