I do really apoligize if i sound incredibly noob-ish and dumb. If in theory i download a stock flashable xoom rom and then remove most xoom independent files such as kernel (modules) and other /system folders then flash it over a lightweight rom without tw apps, would i get a stock honeycomb rom? Mainly relying on compatible /system/app and system/framework folders?

nope. If you don't know what you're doing (and few of us do), just find a ROM in the dev forum and follow the instructions. If it was as easy as that, everyone would be a dev...

I know on other phones it is a simple bootanimation.zip copy and paste, but the vibrant doesnt use that format. So what files do i need to replace?
Thank you

Need a little more info.
Are you stock (non)rooted?
Are you on a custom rom?
Most of the,if not all, custom roms accept bootanimation.zip. There are tons of them in the theme section. Also a tutorial or two as well on making them.

Actually the vibrant does support that...its just that the kernel must support it....its basically supported on all custom ROMs/kernels....not so sure of stock ROMs though...what ROM are you using?
Im on the 2.2.1 Rom just released i am on tapatalk so i cant recall the spelling.
I checked in system/media i couldn't find it. I found bootanimation but no zip.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
I think you have to be on a custom ROM to utilize the bootanimation.zip
Is this possible?
I am familiar with the process of doing it on a rom for my Captivate but that is rooted and has CWM installed on it where I can just flash it through there.
Anybody at all?
With 108 views someone should know the answer.

Themes are possible on stock as long as you deodex the rom. Same as on captivate once themed to flash it. CWM and root instructions in sticky in dev.

But if I am deodexing the rom then it isnt really stock anymore then is it?
Yes, its technically not stock anymore since your combining the odex and apk into single file. But as far as I am aware, you have to deodex the Captivate to theme. When I themed my captivate I would only deodex /system/app/systemui.apk (.odex), /system/framework/framework-res.apk (.odex) and leave the rest at stock.

"Making" a rom isnt a single well defined thing, what do you want todo, deodex a stock rom, build a AOSP based rom, apply mods to a rom, what?
Your best bet is to work out what you want todo (read around rom threads to see *what* can be done) then search for howto's, basically everything is documented if you search.
I wanna make odexed stock without samsung ****.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
First thing you'll need is the ability to search the dev forum and find the guide with tools that describes how to do this.
I was at dev forum, but it's hard to find something, because there are so many threads

I was going to make a kernel based on cm7 kernel, so how to start.
And how to add frequencies.
Adding over clicked frequencies is the main purpose, please help me somebody.
I want to make it for HTC explorer but there are nearly no devs who can help me that's why I am asking here

> You can PM kernel experts.. like TA and DJnoXD.. they are both good persons and they could help you out.
I really appreciate your work. Few weeks back.. i was trying to convince every Forum Admins to get
Explorer and similar devices.. a forum or atleast a sub-forum.. and happy to see they accepted our request..
Being a Lagacy Device.. they gave Explorer and others a complete forum!!

if u have some prior coding experience then adding frequencies, adding governors should be a piece of cake...
if no,
then you better check the gb cm7 rom for optimus one..try to find out the commit where actual work was started by the cm team on the kernel..you will find out how they added frequencies, governors and everything...:good:

I would suggest you to try compiling the cm kernel for your phone whitout changes. (cm wiki)
After you succeed compiling the kernel, test if it is working.
Now you have a base you could start working on.
Next step could be to change something. (frequencies for the p500 have to be changed here: arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock.c)
Hi,
My daughter has the HP touchpad, I've already loaded CM7 using moboot method so she keeps webos. I can see now that many stable versions of CM9 exist and want to upgrade to one of the many ROMs available. Can I do this straight from clockwork mod or do I need to flash additional zip files in order for it to work properly. I have searched lots of forums and some are suggesting to use acme installer 2 but I have titanium backup so cannot see the point in this method. Any help is much appreciated.

Err what's the question .
Q:can I upgrade to CM9 from CM7 through clockwork recovery?
A:don't remember where I saw it but I do remember that it could not flash properly and result in bugs....
So its best to do a clean install using ur PC and following this

Look for a video from reverend kyle on youtube, its a pretty good explanation and tells you the files you need. The CM9 build will be outdated in the video so just use the latest gapps and CM9 build. Everything else will be the same. Basically you'll need to use you computer and ACMEInstaller2. If you ever want to install CM10 you'll want to use ACMEInstaller3.
Many thanks for the responses, I will see how I get on.
Sent from my A500 using xda app-developers app
Might want to consider what was posted above, skip cm9, use acme uninstaller to start clean, then acmeinstaller3 and put one of the jellybean builds on.
JB takes up more system space, which acmeinstaller3 provides
