i am new to making a custom rom.... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Looking for a user-friendly ROM installation guide CWM

Hello everyone, I´m new on the android word and just got myself an x10 mini, and would like to install a ROM. the real thing im after is the ability to save apps to SD, I tried installing App2sd, using a tutorial in these forums, but it completely broke android 3 times, getting stuck on an endless reboot cycle.
Now that that option is out of the window I am looking at ROMS.
My phone is flashed with an international firmware, with band M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015, Android 2.1. What would be the best ROM (given persona experience) fully working, of course?
Thank you,
DamDSx
hi im pretty new too, but found it quite easy, i installled 2.3.3, i havent got time right now to post the links il get back 2 you if you havnt sorted it, but you can get all links and software from this site, the easiest way i found was using superoneclick to root, just one click! then youl need xrecovery to backup (just incase) &restore then browse for the rom you want to use, if you have a look you'll find all these on here with n00bie instructions 4 us beginners, hope this helps some what.
Im going with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200675
Currently backing up with Xrecovery, but im not sure if I need to wipe user data and cache? the rom guide does not say anything

welcome 2 android
ROM's are of personal taste and as the camera problem of gingerbread is fixed,most of the ROM's are fully working.....as u r new to android, i would suggest you to go for MiniCM7 2.0.5 as the MiniCM is perfectly "tailored" for the mini's small screen estate...however, other ROM's like GingerDX, FroyoBread, MiniCM6, Andread etc are very stable alternatives too ..i am using "FRoyoBread" latest version because i find the battery consumption to be less than the Gingerbread builds
if you are after the ability of moving the apps to SD, most ROM's would suffice. But, i'll give u a caution, don't move apps with "Widget" support or "operational" apps to the SD card...many a time u will get a "problem loading widget" popup or your SD card won't show up on the computer.
try some ROM's until u find the one u would like the best...most of the ROM's are great because OUR DEVS ARE AWESOME
if i helped you, press the "THANKS" button

yes u NEED to format the user data and the cache for avoiding startup bootloops
Search before you ask
try this TUT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194499
Thank you. Android is awesome!
I´m trying GingerDX, the only problem I have found is the keyboard. it was too big for the screen (Unmodified X8 port) but ThickButtons from the market fixed it. Loving Gingerbread so far. On a side note, my new phone, and thus Android, has put some stress between me and my wife, because ive been spending more time with the phone than with her! lol!
Indeed the devs are awesome. THANK YOU!!!!!

[Q] How hard is it to create a custom rom?

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...

[Q] Assistance locating mods for custom rom development?

First thing first, Yes I am a noob. I am trying to learn how to build custom roms. I already created a working rom based off of the UCPLC5 leak. I pretty much just deleted apk files and zipaligned the rom. I am wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me figure out where to find fix'x and mods such as accurate battery mod or 5ghz wifi fix. Is there a website that I need to look into? I have tried searching google to no avail. I also tried the search here but I am unable to get any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
you're on pretty much the only resource you need.....learn how to search, thats all i can say, because there is no 'directory of mods/fixes'.....

Task did 90% of the work, you just tweaked that base.
Learn to grab the untouched firmware and extract, deodex it then start working from that.
If you are working on a i9100 base, it would be best to check there forum section.
Deodexing and a number of the basic porting fixes are covered in my guide in the Development section.
5 GHz wifi fix doesn't apply to AT&T bases unless AT&T ****ed up on an epic scale, it's only for ported European firmwares. That's covered in the guide too.

More than that....more like 99.5. I wouldn't even call it tweaking yet.

Need help with dialer

sorry for starting a new thread but i have researched and tried everything i could before posting here.
i own a i777 and am located in india. recently i had a baby and my wife is at her mother's place with the baby. i use native 3g video calling daily to talk to them. the problem is, i have found only one rom (mystic glory- which is a great rom, thks to Mysticking)so far with "dialer with contacts" .i have been using this rom for last 6 months dd basis.
Now i would like to get myself some jellybeans on the phone. i had downloaded a lot of jb roms(i777, ported i777, tried hellraising i9100 roms) hoping to have native video calling....but no luck......couldnt successfully hellraise i9100 roms with the procedures mentioned in ported development forum.
i have also tried to install several respective "dialer with contacts" (respective meaning xxlsj, xwlpg, xwlpq etc) mods and .apk files using the method of puting them in system folder with solid explorer (followed exact steps descried in general forum to replace system apks) but no luck what so ever.
i cant even use dual booting, since mystic's rom is ics and there is no kernel (to the best of my knowledge) that can dual boot ics and jb together. so basically i m stuck with mystic glory (no disrespect to Mysticking or his rom which is superb for ics).
now my question is can somebody direct me in the right direction, and suggest a foolproof method to install "dialer with contatcs" on practically all roms so i can explore the treasure of roms developed by beautiful ppl of xda. i m not an expert yet, but i can follow proper directions very well. willing to learn and do basic programming if i have to.
Or even better if somebody can be so kind to develope a app like market app whick can be installed on any rom.
please help.

I think most roms remove the video call feature because we can't use it in the US. You can try asking a rom developer to give you a cwm flashable file of the dialer with video call (if it originally had it).

[HELP][Willing to Donate!] Deodexing a stock ROM [SOLVED]

Greetings,
I was trying to create custom roms for the Galaxy Y pro (B5510) but I am having problems deodexing the latest stock ROM lately. I tried all tools which deodexes a ROM but I have no luck with any of them, as if there is something wrong during the actual deodexing process.
As you can see, there is no working custom ROM for the Galaxy Y pro lately. If someone can make things work (just let it deodex the stock ROM) then I might as well donate for your efforts

Never mind,
Already figured it out, the easiest way to deodex the rom was using Virtuous Ten Studio... The Auto Deodex feature worked for the stock 2.3.6 Gingerbread ROM by setting the API Level to 10. Just a reference for those who will encounter similar problems. I tried other tools but it returns an error when deodex is initiated. I guess I have to donate to myslef then
