Hey I was wondering if there any Devs out there who would mind helping me develop a rom based on assassins creed 2 the game. I had an idea. A red colored rom with the Animated custom boot screen and shut down screen. If anyone has ideas please let me know. I will be in the.process of making this tonight.
How exactly is this a ROM? What you're proprosing is simply a "theme," you don't have to make a ROM to change the boot screen and shut down. That doesn't fall under the definition of a ROM.
Interesting idea, though I haven't played the game in a while and don't remember what animation you're referring to. As the other poster politely mentioned, it wouldn't be a rom, but could probably be a fairly simple metamorph theme.
As for the animations, if they're part of videos from the game, there's a good chance they're stored as bink files somewhere so you could download the bink player and pull frames to use for the phone animations.

i think he meant theme... you should not be so condescending - especially as a sr. member.
ask clarifying questions rather than be snippy with a "definition"

You shouldn't assume anything based on a person's amount of post counts. The number of post counts doesn't change how a person thinks. I don't need to CLARIFY questions because I'm stating it since it is pretty obvious that it isn't a ROM.
@ajftl: You're just upset because I criticized on your thread about Angry Birds.

No. We need to be as condescending as possible to people that don't understand the difference between a 'rom' and a theme' and scare them out of the Developer's section. This topic does NOT belong here, and their topics don't belong here.

Then why does XDA has a successful forum and you dont?
my only point was that even if it is the wrong section - if someone can help, then be helpful if not, then don't.
we were all new once and if someone hadn't gone beyond the normal flame and redirect then we wouldn't be here contributing or helping.
just saying, we should help first then redirect and not be rude and condescending.
Yes OP this is the wrong section for development - True, OP what you are asking is not considered a rom.
i was a sr member once and before changing my handle and i used to try to help as much as i could regardless of whether the question was in the wrong place.

Thats all I ask
No you do not have to be as condesending as possible. I know the difference between a rom, and a theme. I making a rom, with a whloe new gui. The reason I wanted to make the rom instead of just the theme was to test the vibrants HD graphics. The type of gui I want to make can not just be apllied by a simple visual style change. I love this fourm and I have been here for the last 3 years. This fourm has taught me alot of the knowladge about phones and rom development I know today. Im sorry I dont post much or develop anything frankly, because I just dont have the time. Please dont ever assume that because someone doesnt elaborate what they mean that their "stupid" or dont know what their talking about. Anyway, as for the rom, I have made some progress. I was wondering if anyone could help me find a couple of boot animations I could put in my rom, I was thinking one that would show Ezio behind a target and then leaping in to the air with his hidden blade and stab the person in the neck, then the next screen show the assassins creed logo and ad assassins creed rom. I have already made my gui and used an custom kernal to OC my rom to 1.2 gigaherz. Battery life is still a very big problem. Anyone have any ideas ?
Hey dady says, I love your pictire bro, that sould be googles logo. Lol.
sounds awesome, hope it works out for ya! i wish i could help with boot anims but i dont know how to make them. good luck~

All I gotta say is good luck hacking those .qmg files. They are what hold and run the boot sequence, and they have yet to be cracked which means you can't replace them.
The thread was moved to Q&A.
@all,
Wouldn't it be simpler to just tell the OP that what he wants to do is theme a rom and not make an actual rom, instead of a 2 page bashing?

The OP was told this and he still wants to make a ROM.
OP, its going to be hard to get someone to help you on such a ROM, since most people probably have never played AC or are not big fans. Good luck.

Roaming a forum and actually reading the forums are completely two different things... If your not going to take the time to read the forums then why should we take the time to inform you on the progress? Everyone wants to be spoon fed these days...
I dont mean any negativity towards you but posts likes these just irritate me...
I'll throw you a bone though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961648
That thread should enlighten you on the current progress...
People on forums are so touchy. Either way, you only see that one rom because it is more of a modification than a rom. Once the devs make more progress on the phone (Remember it hasn't even been out two weeks) we will see more custom roms. But, we probably won't see custom kernals for a while, if ever.

You are correct and to the OP I'm sorry if I came off rude. Having a headache tends to let a lot of little things get to you. As the person above me said, that one rom that we do have already isn't technically a rom. It is just a deodexed version of the stock rom with a reboot feature added. We won't be able to get a fully custom rom without unlocking the bootloader. The link I gave you is the link describing the current progress being made on unlocking the bootloader. If you have any experience with doing stuff that is being mentioned in that thread then feel free to chime in and provide some assistence .

Hi
just wondering if there is anyone out there who is prepared to make me a custom rom the way i like it.
there are so many things for the sgs2 but so many roms are over done with the same colour or they have that nasty overscroll glow
i liked the black theme someone made but his requirments meant i had to have certain things to make it work, things i didnt want
to give you an idea, im a fan of stock look. im also a big fan of black and white themes
so if there is someone willing to give it ago please let me know and i'll donate a few $$
thanks Garth
I don't mean to be rude, but you're clearly a newbie here.
You simply don't ask devs to make custom ROMS according to your personal preferences. You can learn to do it yourself, or use one of the many available and awesome custom ROMS.
It takes much much effort to create and test a custom ROM.
Another point, if you did not create "it" then it does not belong in "Android Development" but in General or Q&A.
Here i made you a rom to your specs
gtda's Custom Rom
MD5: 1431431BAE34F3E3D41AB434
BASED ON KG2
instead of pointing your fingers on him, try to help him or if you can't then stop yelling at some one because you are not special or genius too. You also depend on this forum thats why you are wasting your time here.
mate here is your rom, this is not exactly as you want but its at least closer to your requirements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15782324&postcount=403
as per other posts that clearly don't belong in the dev forum, the OP gets the video.
we all are new to many things, if we are not able to help then we also should not point out fingers. Simply get respect by giving respect.

lol! Good work tjjensen23
wow nice response
i guess being a 30yo man with a 6month old to take care of i dont have the time to sit down and make roms. i have tried nearly every rom and theme and i dont like them. back when i had a sgs1 a guy posted he would make custom roms for ppl, figured someone here mite do the same. if its too much effort, dont make me one, simple
ppl add too much stuff that is useless to me and looks unatractive and makes the ui look like a preschool child drew it
things ppl add that i dislike
overscroll glow
battery percentage (i use fancy widgets, it has battery percentage)
changing the wifi and 3g/H to green. i prefer white on all of them
i dislike transparency on menus. makes it hard to read the menu
i like having customisable ext menu
i dont like making all the menu items one colour, stock colours are fine
id like a aosp style lock menu, or at least change the message colour from orange to blue
crt off would be nice as long as its working properly
so as you can see there is no other rom out there like that
i offered to pay so its not like im being a cheap skate expecting someone to stop everything they are doing just for me
video was funny, so im not offended if thats what u were trying to accomplish

The posts are due to you not reading the rules i guess rather than the fact you have asked for a personal rom build .
Personally i dont care what or where you post as forum gone to hell in a bucket as regards rules .

I don't think your wishes are irrelevant but they may be a little unrealistic - poll 100 people in here and they'd all want something slightly different from their ROM. So building a ROM may be unrealistic given the other demands on your time, but learning a bit of theming - which is what most of your wishlist seems to be about - isn't and may be your way forward. You may even get a more positive response to your enquiry on the Themes forum.
You are getting the negative vibes because your post is clearly posted in the wrong place - this is not the place for questions of this type, as clearly stated in several places.
ok so i wrote it in the wrong section
move it then, im not a mod so i cant.
whats wrong with the world today, i asked a question and got smashed for it, instead of baggin the **** outta me, point me in the right direction
ive looked at every theme here for sgs2, none interest me. and i wont flash a rom with things i wont be happy with.
i honestly have hardly any time to learn how to make them, i work, i take care of baby, i sleep (very little) i work again. i get a few hours every now and then to mess with my phone, so far its just been flashing the latest leaked roms
if i had more time i wouldnt be putting this request out there, id try make one myself
like i said, u dont wanna make it, then dont
u wanna help ppl, then move my thread to the right section
i apologise i put it in the wrong section im a n00b after all

You have the time to try each roms but don't have the time to try to learn by yourself.
You are ready to pay for it,it is your choice but please, just be clear.
You don't want to make your customROM ( others occupations)
You wan't to pay someone to do the job for you . the end

Find a ROM you like that's the closest to what you want. Then you could theme it using Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen. Hope that helps.

If you don't have then use the ROMs here or don't buy a phone your not happy with. Nobody will want to make a ROM for you. No time that is your problem. I am a noob too but I read the rules.
I guess you can wait for the public rom kitchen once available ( you proly dont need to wait much longer )
After that you should be able to learn just a few things about themeing or some1 will probably make a black white theme.
I understand that it may be easy for some1 experienced to make exactly the rom you want but i don't believe some1 will bother , having to deal with updates/bugs e.t.c.
Rom kitchen and a few themeing abilities is the most realistic approach as i see it
p.s. sorry for my miss-spelling , too many beers
Well someone out there was kind enough to make me one and is helping with updates. I had a look at what was involved in making one and I just don't understand everything. I look forward to the kitchen release coz ive used it with my sgs and it was great. Thanks to the ppl who actually helped

spotted this in the Android General Dev Section:

Would LOOOOVE it for our device, I would do it myself but I have no idea how to extract and compile apks.
If someone knows how to, could they please
P.S. I, like many others use Reloaded ICS Settings, which would require a separately modded SystemUI.apk
THANKS!
I will try to get it done.... It seems very easy!! But only if I get some more time!!

It is for ALL users NEW/SENIOR
Here is some of the OP by @Bubbajoe40356
Hello. I'd like to introduce myself. I am BubbaJoe40356 from the AT&T Note 3, Note, and Infuse forums. I have had several people PM me asking for help or information on starting to theme. So I decided to start a learning thread.
WHAT THIS THREAD IS: A place to gather the basics to get you started if you want to learn. A place to ask questions about theming and theming issues. A place to interact with Recognized and Unrecognized themers as well as people who are at your level or maybe the next level you will reach. A place you can learn from advanced, intermediate, and beginners, and maybe even yourself. A place where any theming question can be asked and hopefully answered. Keep in mind I am no expert. I will do the best I can, and I have enlisted the help of a few of my Teammates to help us out. We are all from Team Alliance.
WHAT THIS THREAD IS NOT: This is not a place to request themes or apps to be themed. This is not a place for flaming or negative opinions of others works.
WHO WILL HELP OUT: Myself,daveyannihilation, Tired Storeman, Mikeymopar, Nunhugger, sparky b, and hopefully a few others will be stopping in to help.
WHAT CAN I LEARN TO THEME? We expect to cover TW apps as well as other apps. 4.4 as well as 4.3
WHO THE HECK ARE YOU? A little background on me. I started learning to theme just over 2 years ago. I released my first theme (A theme chooser theme) as a gift for myself and anyone else on my 50th birthday .. (so you are NOT too old to learn) with the help and guidance of a great friend and fellow "The Family" member ppalbicke who is truly the most patient man ever created lol. I am now on the forever locked AT&T Note 3, so no more Theme Chooser. So I am continually learning to theme TW apks and I keep intergrating other apps into the theme I want to keep building.
IS THIS A STRICK ON TOPIC STUFFY THREAD? Hell no.I want this thread to run a like every "favorite" thread I have been involved in. Light humor is not only permitted.. but encouraged. Trust me ... you will need humor as a stress relief for this stress relieving hobby.
So ... if your in ... tell your wives/husbands, boyfriend/girlfriend goodbye .. this will soon become an obsession. You will want to do nothing but make every app you see "purty". Trust me .. my wife hates my phone. "Why can't you just leave it alone dammit".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sooo if you want to get into theming.. All aspects of it will be covered here.. No question is unwanted or laughed at.. We welcome all users to learn how to change the way their phone looks!!
Happy Theming!
Good videos to get you started..
Thanks for the find. I've been looking into this recently. The theme tips I've seen in the Original thread. But the videos I haven't. Time for some studying.
