[Q] Custom rom for dummies - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Day all,
I'm looking for a procedure, step by step or any sources of information explaining how to create a custom rom from an android source code (2.2, 2.3, future 4.0)
Many thanks
Harlock

Hi,
I have (had) exactly the same problem. Can build a zImage, but what to do next??
Maybe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 can help you. I'm reading it now, and will try it in the next couple of days.
Anyway it is important to mention which phone+model you have, since there are differences.
greets,
Ruud

[Q] should i do it?

first of all hello to everyone, I am new to this site.
i came across this site since i have been searching for ROM developments to my phone.
i see this is a very comprehensive site with ALOT of information and i dont even know where to begin.
So i hope someone nice here will answer a few questions
First of all, is it worth upgrading to another ROM (one of these sticky threads ROM)
I've been looking at the Artemis but again im not sure what to choose.
Also no idea how to upgrade it and if anything goes wrong is it possible to backup the original ROM?
I like to upgrade since im not very fond of the original ROM, also a bit slow from time to time.
I am not a computer noob just very new to this. Hope someone will help or point me in the right direction.
hi there.
I whole heartedly recommend flashing a custom rom to your phone. I only flashed my first rom earlier this year. there are plenty of tutorials here on xda. this really is a great community.
search in the threads for MSkip's guide to flashing your first HD2 rom. Just always remember to read instructions thoroughly.
Roms are down to personal taste but I personally like the Energy series.
good luck.
I was afraid to, but now I'm glad I did (flashed like 5 times now, till found the ROM for me) Just remember to read all the ROM info and instructions carefully and for the love of God, have the proper Radio version for the ROM OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK IT!

[Q] Need Help Porting Rom!!!

Hello, I have ported android 4.4.4 to the galaxy player 4.2 via the Android Kitchen and i need help fixing some problems. Right now the main issue is that after flashing the ROM the device wont boot..... I know its a big problem but it'd be cool to get this thing working so i figured i should ask. I've been searching Google for the last 2 hours but I've came up short. If you help me then I'll be more than glad to give u props in the development thread for this project once its finished.
Ok well i decided not to use the kitchen to port kitkat because it isnt a great idea so i have decided to port it the way dragonizer told me too(link to guide below). But the thing is is theat i need help getting the files i need. I have been constantly been searching for files for 2 days so far and have barely made a dent. I have the repositories i need but the rest of the files i am asking for help to find. Now i wil post the file names of the ones i find when i find them. Thanks for the help and if you have any questions for me on the project or will like to become a contributor to the project then pm me and we can get this thing made.

dude if you need a tester or anything i would be glad to help i have also tried to port cm 11 kitkat to my device with no success but i would like to help get it made
also i think you need to create a boot image like in the cm 11 builds for the gp 3.6

Custom Kernel Development For Neo

HI guys, after waiting for so long I finally decided that its time to do something for the Neo, as there are no custom kernels for our device I decided to take the matters in my hands. After doing some research and following some video guides i succeeded in :-
.Installing Ubuntu (VMWARE) v14.02
.Installing packages required for developing
.Setting up a toolchain
Now I am stuck at the last process as mentioned in the guide. I already created a zImage file, but i cant find the ANYKERNEL.zip required to flash the kernel. If someone knows any dev, or can help me with it, it will be appreciable.
Following I provide the link for the video and guide:-
The main video guide :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV4jhXWc7AE (also watched the 2nd part).
The guide from where i got the link for tool chain as the NDK from android.developers.com was .bin file and I was not able to figure out how to use it. :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVZrh7aBIw4
Please if any dev can help me please PM me
Regards. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT:- Mods if i have posted this in wrong section, please move this thread to the correct section as I have a very limited knowledge regarding post
man thanks for your efforts first of all.secondly if you are getting stuck somewhere then its best to contact a dev who has worked on exynos processor before.for example try contacting a dev who have made a kernel for note 3 exynos version they are our best chance...thanks again and i really want to help but i know nothing about kernels

Customise a Lineage Build

Hi All,
Just managed to build and install Lineage from source with the help of this fine place and am now looking at the next step: modding the ROM. In particular I'd like to change a driver file with a patched one but would love a general, newbie proof overview to customizing.
I've had a quick trawl but most of the guides seem to be quite old so any recommendation would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
