Title says everthing, I can see that there is much more development on the CDMA area of the forum, why won't you guys bring us (GSM) the same roms and stuff? That would be great to a lot of people in the world!
Thanks....

Someone on XDA is porting IC3.. I dunno about any other ones. If a dev would specialize in doing so, after we know what needs to be changed, I'm sure things would be a lot easier & would get ported more often.

It's not that "we won't do it" its that this is mainly a CDMA website. I think generally devs do stuff for fun, and none of the main devs on this site has a GSM Razr to test anything on at all. It's a lot of work to make 1 rom or theme, let alone port it to a difference device. IC3Razr is being ported to GSM as [TSON] pointed out, but I'd recommend to see your legit ICS leak for GSM Razrs. We don't even have one and probably won't for a while!

Please do not Personal Message me for help or troubleshooting. They will be ignored. Post in threads or start one in Q&A sections.

Pretty much the part in bold. All the devs for the most part own CDMA phones with LTE.

Hello, looking for any help possible from the community to port some of these ROMs over t the GMS model. Can anyone help me in the right direction - where to start - what likely needs modifying - I'm ready to cook and have some of the required skills - just need a little help getting started.

thanks

Don't they have plenty of GSM action going on over on the XDA forums?

No, not quite sure where that misconception started. There is more over there than here, but not much.

No one cares where this was sent from

:-D :-D

Adlx and me are working on this...it is a really strange matter...as far as I see, latest AOPK works without changes on GSM -> only calls , sms BUT you don't get any indication for signal strength and network connection and there are no network settings for GSM available -> no data... if anyone with experience would like to support us and help, you are welcome :)
