Hi everyone just asking what rom makers do when building a rom?
E.g build bootloader then build kernel etc
Personally, as a beginning Android Cooker, I started by grabbing a ROM from here. Then I changed some things, experimented a bit, and simply change some files in the ZIP updates.
When you're a beginning cooker, I think it's the best to build an AOSP Rom using Cyanogens Wiki. Change some stuff to your liking (make backups...), see what happens, etc.
Thanks I'll have a go at it
Prob best to not experiment with the bootloader till you know what you are doing

I have Optimus Black, but since there are so few dev for this device at this time so I would like to learn and try build my own custom ROM from stock ROM, but I'm really new to this thing...
Is there anyone who can point me where to start from? I tried android kitchen before but it seem it's only add some minor feature to the stock ROM, I think it would be better if I understand how thinks work, so I can estimate what part I can optimized..... I really appreciate any help from you....
Hi,
I have flashed about 30 different ROMs to my SGS2 and I can't seem to find the perfect one. There's loads of different features of different ROMs that I like and I just wanna combine all my favorite features into my perfect ROM. I was just wondering how hard it is to create one and if I need special software and if there is a tutorial out there?
Thanks,
Yogi
If you don't like any of the roms posted grab the base one from the rom kitchen and add onto it a kernel and theme that you prefer.
Doesn't seem to be working

Well mate, if you keep flashing in that rate then after one year the number will be hundred and yet you won't find the one you need. Why not stick with a simple stock ROM? I mean seriously why ultimately we run (not me) for a Custom ROM? For some gimmicks, other than that what we get?
Anyway, if you still wanna flash another then do as the above user said, Kitchen ROM's are more or less good IMO.
You are already getting mad about ROMs, time to enjoy the device.....
Instead of thingking building your own ROM, why not first learn the tricks of modding... have your best Base then mod it with themes, scripts, kernels, moded apks, and etc, its a lot easier IMO...
i always wanted to make a custom rom with my sing on it but for my personal use only....i manage this with this guide http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=1132724
and my rom is working perfectly without bug as i can see until now...but i want to add some custom boot animations or add teawks and some other "hacking" things on my Gnote so i was wondering if some one can show me a guide to do it or tell me...Also i am using the dsixda's Android Kitchen now to see with what method i am doing better work...
I am also new to this but successfully I have created a ROM for SGS II without any kitchen or whatever from Base! My Advice is You first Get a Skeleton Rom and Study Android File Structure(FOLDERS WITHIN ROMS) not FILE SYSTEM(EXT4 etc). I will guide more If you start and finish what I said previously!
Thanks always Appreciated!
ok i have make one rom with skeleton rom and is working perfectly with the cg root kernel and also with abyssnote ...i didnt face any issue so far....
Good! You should now tweak the Framework and make it stable while adding no themes!
Deodexing and CRT off and BatteryMod plus Extended power menu should be in your rom before posting on XDA because all other ppl like these features so much that now it's compulsory in every rom!
That things is what i want on my note from the day i bought it....but i dont know how to add them to my rom (the method to do it)....so far with the guide it was so "easy" (after 20) to learn anything the guide said i have manage to build one deadoxed and zipaling rom tha i am proud of after my hard time with google searching for this staff...But now i am in a dead End.

Friends got this phone and hes tired of waiting for ICS. I told him id put a custom rom on there, but i want to make sure its stable because i dont want him to have many bugs.
Which ROM should i go with? Im guessing he would probably prefer a samsung based rom over a AOSP rom.
Your title of the thread and your question posted do not match. If you want the most stock and stable ROM then here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731382
If you want something else then 10 users will give you 10 different recomendations. Then they will say its great and pefect but blahblah don't work and the ROM will only FC a few times daily.
Link to the stock ROM above should be the way to go unless you and your friend want to sit down and do some reading on your own.
Hello everyone.
It has been a long time since I was here looking at things.
I'd like to say that there is great progress and Kutos to those who are doing the work.
-------------------------------------------
Anyone have any good/bad experiences using the kernel I listed below?
And, I do not really want to overclock at the moment, Is there a way to edit the kernel to remove the changed CPU and battery management?
I tried to find a custom kernel that, without all these extra changes, allows a custom ROM, but I have had no luck yet...
(I do not want to shorten the life of my device in any way); unless it is safe?
------------------------------------------
I was thinking of using this kernel (which I want to put the unnecessary changes back to stock):
[KERNEL][CWM][Player 5.0][USA]Entropy's Daily Driver, 3/5/2012 (1.2 GHz OC)
-------------------------------------------
And I'm still deciding between these two roms:
1) [ROM] Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Galaxy Player 5.0 For USA and INT (Rls:3.5) {UPDATED}
2) [ROM] Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 G70XXKPH Galaxy Player 5.0 For USA and INTERNATIONAL (Rls:1.5)
My problem is I do not really understand the differences between these rom versions other than the display.
Is that all that is different? the themes?
And I'm having trouble finding if this ROM can actually work the cameras, flash, Bluetooth, etc. or are things not working?
I tried looking for a "bugs" category, but I haven't seen one.
----------------------------------------------
Thank you for posting your experiences and such.
I'd jump right in and try the kernel and roms, but I really do not want to risk breaking anything, I kinda just want to do it right the first time and leave it.
--------------------------------------------
I mainly been looking because I read that Samsung is not planning any updates for my device and I figure I'd modify it now since I wont get the latest android for it.
My device:
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 Wifi USA version, WITHOUT mechanical home button...
You cant edit the kernel and off course its safe,everybodu is using them..but if you want you can down clock with some app but don't see why..on roms you mentioned everything works...difference is first has more futures like 14 button power menu etc..and second is basicy stock rom.
Alright bro. Entropy Kernel: You wont notice anything different in your Player if you flash it. It will only make it faster, but no UI changes. And the ROM you listed, use 3.5, Everything works. Again, more tweaks will make it faster. The ROM probably has some things changed in the UI but thats for the better. No bugs in that ROM. If you need help don't hesitate to PM me

Sorry I have been away for a while. College takes up all my time...lol
Thank you both for posting that. It verified everything I needed to know about the ROM and Kernel.
(I just want this to last if I overclock it with with the custom things, I do not feel like replacing a battery within the next couple years...lol).
Later on I will go find an odin or something along those lines and backup what I can from my device so I can hopefully go back to stock later if I ever needed to...
Hopefully I will be able to do it before the world ends in about 3 months. I will post here when I get to it.
I just recently bought a 32 GB MicroSD card for it. Its really nice as I can store everything in my phone now and its essentially my slate PC but its a phone, so I will need a time when I wont need to use it for school/work/navigation things for a while so I know its stable.
