An exercise in merging

I spent some time yesterday merging Project Durden with CyanogenMod, in an effort to see how far the projects have diverged. As it turns out, most of the code fits together very cleanly. I’ve put together an engineering snapshot, and am looking for feedback from the community. If you’d like to give it a try, please visit #droidmod on freenode, and ask for a link to download the ROM.

This is by no means a polished or stable ROM. Some of the known issues include: The power off and reboot options on the power menu do not work; you will have to use adb reboot, or pull the battery to power off. YouTube does not work. The Camera app has some weird bugs, and there is a visible checkbox for apps2sd that is not actually implemented (I didn’t merge the code for apps2sd because Froyo is dropping soon).

We have not officially decided whether this will be the future of Project Durden. For now, this is just an exercise in seeing what is possible.
