Now that root is available - and I'm assuming some Dev's will be dev'ing for rooted devices......... hoping actually!.........Question: Should TWO Development threads be started? One for each version?

If they are not truly the same, I'm sensing some possible bricking or at least issues arising. I'm waiting a few more days, then the new Razr HD MAXX will be mine - and I'm sure I might be one of the first to get confused!

dev editions are going to be different from retail editions. due the fact taht custom kernals can be made for the dev editions

[Nanniepoo]

Would they still be the same for stock kernels? Or would the dev edition not even start off with the same kernel as the retail one?

[VantenKiest]

might start off the same i mean anything for the retail version should work on the dev edition but the ones built for dev edition MAY not work on the retail

the big difference here is method of root and locked and unlocked bootloader making the ablity to do different things with a device.

also lets think about recoveries and how they might differ

there is a ton to consider and while im nto a dev i do understand some of what goes on.

Yeah that's what I was getting at. But didn't think about the recovery. Just thought if (and I don't really know why) but if there was a ROM developed on the dev edition with the stock kernel, it could be used for retail. My guess is they're going to be headed their own seperate way right off the bat. As much as I appreciate all the hard work that went into work arounds for recoveries for locked phones, I can't wait for the ease of use of a recovery on a unlocked device again.

Only time will tell.

I'm expecting very little exciting dev work for the retail versions. Hashcode and Dhacker have both shown they are willing to help anyone that takes the initiative to get some dev work done themselves, but it would seem like a waste of their time to personally focus on creating recoveries and solid bases for retail devices. Without them this community likely wouldn't even exist, so yeah... don't expect to need a retail thread.

As always for anyone that doesn't know it..

These are three guys that most of the credit for our devices being as much as they are today. Without them we might still all be stuck on stock.

We need a working recovery for the Razr M/HD before we're gonna see any roms. What good is a rom you can't flash??
