Hello world,
progress on my custom AOSP rom (Primerunner) continues well and I learnt a lot. I'm working on it for three days now and finally got TMobile's Theme Engine integrated today. This is very important for me because there is not really any rom available which is close to stock and lightweight at that point of time.
The more I search for a rom that offers this, the more silly CyanogenMod and AOKP 'fullstory spins with a fancy name' I encounter, and that's not what I want to run on my phone. (If I would, I'd rather flash the original - I've been running them both for a long time and they're really great roms indeed).
The closest roms that do what I want, are Pete's Bugless Beast and Rascarlo's Rascream. But unfortunately, they don't come with the possibility to switch themes like the both big ones.
So I decided to do it myself :-)
Rascream is more recent but I couldn't find its source repo, so I based my work on BB (Pete has done a great job there and made it really easy to hack on - I thank him for that).
Back to topic:
I'm very confident to push an alpha out to my testers soon, if initial testing by me has been done. I'm also willing to deploy the code on my github repo when it's in a state where it's not that embarrassing for me if it's seen by real coders... ;-) After all, I'm just working in the mechanical branch.
Here are some shots of the first official alpha build, running with a Trinity kernel and showing off some themes from Sonny Sekhon:
