Default [Q] Roms

Okay so I am new to the pro coming from an incredible...and well when i first got the incredible there really wasnt anything as far as rooting and roms go..but the pro has been out since november..it has root..however it doesnt seem like a lot of people are interested in porting roms and making customs ones for it..i mean is fission the only thing being worked on? no miui or cynagen?

That seems to be the case. I am actually researching how to cook Roms to see if I could do it since no one else seems to be.

I also came from the Incredible. The development for that device was amazing within a few months. However, for the Pro, it's really a sad state of affairs--no ROM to speak of. There is a Fission ROM RC1, but it's definitely not a daily driver and there's been nothing since that first release.

I LOVE the physical keyboard of the Pro, but I miss the fun of the Incredible. I'm sure I'll soon sell my Pro for the upcoming Incredible 2 or thunderbolt. I'll never buy a Motorola Android device again.
Current devices:
Rooted & unlocked:
Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon (rooted and bootloader unlocked running Beans ROM)
Nexus 7 8gig with JB 4.1.2 CNA ROM.
Nexus 7 32 gig 3G/HSPA+ with rooted JB 4.2.1
Motorola Wifi Xoom with JB 4.2.1 CNA ROM.

Past devices:
Blackberry 8703e > Blackberry 8830 > Blackberry Tour > Blackberry Storm > HTC Incredible > Droid Pro > HTC Thunderbolt > Samsung Galaxy SII > Galaxy Nexus on Bell Canada & Verizon>Nexus 4 (sold!)

Yeah. It's kind of too bad. I have a Droid Pro and a Droid 2 (was given the Droid Pro), and recently switched to the Droid Pro as my everyday device. I love the keyboard and form factor, but would prefer to be able to run something closer to AOSP stock (have the most recent build of Fission on the D2).

I'm guessing that there just aren't enough Droid Pros out there for anyone to be interested in developing ROMs. Too bad, because it's a great phone, although I can see people not being interested in a "high-end" phone with an HVGA display.

Maybe the next version of MotoBlur will be better than the current one (although I've been happier with the stock software on the Droid Pro than I was with the Motoblur on the Droid 2 when it came out).

I mean for me its not so much as the UI...i actually dont mind moto blur at all and aside from missing the favorites widget for contacts and the default clock..i like it a lot better than sense...but the thing that i want is custom kernels and what not for speed/battery management and the other extra things
