Start by editing stock ROM files, so that you can understand how Android works etc.
And of course, learn from mistakes.

Thank you, but I'd like to ownload source code
There is no source. Just take stock ROM and then edit it as much as you want.
If you have stock ROM on your phone, just pull system folder via ADB and start editing.

You can learn how to create a custom rom Here
i think you could get the CM source, don't think sony will release their sources.

OK so I'm really sorry if this has been discussed before but I've searched around and really found nothing that makes any sense to me. A bit about me, I'm a software developer and I'm trying to get into this rom building etc deal but the more I read about it the more complex it gets so I need a few things clarified for me.
From my understanding the rom is the os itself and the baseband is some sort of interface between hardware and the os??
What is the purpose of the kernel? how can I flash the kernel? Is it possible to only flash the kernel? is there away to go back to stock kernel and how?
I tried using some "stock" kernels in a few thread then slapped on the latest MIUI IRIS 1.5 rom with bb52 and no radio or wifi, assuming bad kernel?
Where and how would I be able to get the source code to get started developing myself?
Again really sorry for the n00b questions, but I did do searches for several days and spent hours on this site, maybe just not asking the right questions. All help and advice is greatly appreciated and hopefully I can start helping out soon.
To start to help u, you have your phone rooted, with the latest busybox, with xrecovery i am assuming?
If u don't, post again and the members here including me will help u out.
I will post links with guides to help u when u give an answer back.

Yes phone is rooted and been playing around with a few different roms already, although I may have just bricked my phone, can't even get into xRecovery anymore . Never installed busybox though, have no idea what its used for but I'll get on that as soon as I can get it to boot again. Thanks
Use seus to repair your phone. That is Sony Ericsson software.
If that doesnt work, try flashtool

Ok I think I'm ready to move on, Phone is rooted using Flashtool and I noticed that it installs busybox with the root, also reinstalled xRecovery to install TripNMIUI IRIS 1.5 on bb52 which works great so far.
So of i understand, u want to install that ROM or have u installed it already?

Its all installed now.
The original purpose of this thread is to get me started on possibly developing my own roms. Like where do I get the source code? what language is this written in, is it C, C++, or Java like the apps? what tools do I need to get started? etc.
Thanks

The programing of creating ROMS themselves is out of my league big time. I can't help you in that department at all. I can though say to either put that question out in the Q and A or lastly, PM a developer here to at least get you some info. But the PM answer do come slowly since its on their personal time. Hope this helps.
He already posted in q&a... This thread! But changing the title to "How do I get started building roms?" or something similar will get you more & better answers.
Search XDA for "Rom kitchen" or "cooking roms". If you search "Xperia kitchen" I think there is a thread where you can download the programs and resources for your workspace. Look around in android development for useful threads & stickies too.
That's all i got lol, hope it helps

if u are interested in building ROMs i highly recommend that u check out:
dsixda's Android Kitchen
as for ROM sources...
Android Open Source Project (generic Android sources)
CyanogenMod Sources (a popular branch of android)
FreeXperia Project (specific to SE Xperia X10/X8)
sources are mostly C (C++)...
apps are using Java...

Hi all,
i would like to know what is so special about this ROM in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212949
Because we all are using cm7 modded roms and cm6, what is so special about it? just wondering since the day that thread came into existence. Thats all.
Thank you
Tim
do you know the different already
I don't understand it either but I think that:
X10 mini is not supported officialy by CM6 or CM7 but we need to use port like miniCM6 to make it work.
If you look at the official webpage, there is no SE phone supported http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices
So I think this new project is to build a CM7 Rom for the Xperia line which may be more stable and more complete than other custom ROM. Moreover I think that SE developpers are gonna help in this project by giving some code for special hardware.
(Look at this http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/09/28/sony-ericsson-supports-independent-developers/)
If someone know more about this, it would be interesting!!!
The general idea is, that every bit of software on the phone should be open source, i.e. Free for everyone.
The driver layer of stock firmware is not open source, therefore you either have to adapt your operating system to work with standard drivers in kernel (what most developers/chefs do) or build drivers from the ground up (which is what FXP team is doing).
Then you have a completely open system with source code available for everyone.

Thanks all! i didnt know all would be such interested in that.
But well, i guess that this project will be better because it is started from the base.
I use a x10 mini pro (2010) and cant use the stock rom, because im too fond of the gingerbread roms out here. all are special in some way. and im testing each one specifically. if i use the stock rom i miss out some features i like and do upgrade.
So i wondered, if this FXP is something different, like pfonck said, build from ground up, then it would work according to our needs. very good and i like it.
Keep it up devs (i mean, FXP team!).
regards,
Tim
If you know what is inside the source code of everything, all the way from bootloader to app it's much easier to bugfix... So all in all they should be able to create an up to date rom that rivals the old stock rom for stability.
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
thanks pfonck for the info. you are right. since we are porting the roms from something sles we dont get the "real deal" out of a gingerbread rom or froyobread rom. that speaks well because it is from the base.
hope soon everyone will jump to it
Thanks
regards
Tim
I think what will be special about this ROM is that it won't be special! It'll be a 'vanilla' CM7 which will be open source and made specifically for each device. I imagine it will, with regular bugfixing, become the most stable custon ROM, and I envisage that it'll be the basis for most other Mini Pro custom ROMs.
It won't be anything revolutionary that we haven't seen from other ported gingerbread ROM's, in fact it'll probably have less features. People may still prefer a port of GingerDX which has the GingerDX settings. Or MiniCM Pro with its Xloud and Bravia engine. But for those who want a pure CM7 experience from developers who now have access and help from Sony Ericsson to use official drivers, it should turn out great. (and also, no developers names written on the lockscreen)
Hallo,
i noticed that on my kernel (XSX kernel) the CWM restore option is broken?
can someone help to fix this or is the cwm for ics on the Xperia S not finished?
I'm using advanced stock build 11. Its restore option works great. Arakmar shares his CWM source here https://github.com/Arakmar/cwm5-g3mod. Not sure this can be applied with your kernel but I hope it will help.
Edit: Oops.. Sorry. The URL I provided seems for another device. The recovery source for XS used to be https://github.com/Arakmar/android_bootable_recovery but it doesn't exist now.

You need to build it in-tree with a full android repo.
so i have to find an repo that full Xperia S rom Sources?
Hi guys,
it seems that the problem with restoring is bigger than i thought, but i also thing we should be able to fix it so we should use this thread to discus about it.
What i get in kmsg is:
http://pastebin.com/Av0krMA2
so te faults "make_extf4fs" maybe refer to device permissions?
Or do you think it is the emmc? Or partition table?
Feel free to use this thread to discuss about it every help is wanted
Hello,
How the Modded rom's creator have create a based ICS Sony rom ? beacause Sony not give the sources of their roms.
So how i can found the sources of the Sony official rom for Xperia S ? For add some tweaks and change / delete a lot of application.
Thanks,
All sources of Sony's official rom are released. The latest source of .452 ICS Rom is released in the early last month.

The ROM sources aren't avaliable. The Sony ICS based roms aren't source based. The creators just tweaked it, so people can use it faster.
Try this it has useful informations

Hi,
This rom looks a beast and has already been ported to the Xperia Play, Xperia Arc and the X8
Can anyone help or give guidance in getting this great rom ported to the Xperia S
My skills are very limited however with guidance I am willing to attempt it and give it a go but i need help and guidance from someone who knows a lot more about it than me
Is there anyone willing to help get this rom ported over to us on the Xperia S ?
Hi. For porting you need to select a device that is similar to the XS at least resolution wise. Your base rom would be latest CM9 or CM10. Delete the app and framework folder one by one and replace it with the folders from the PA rom. Similarly replace the bootanimation.zip in system/media. Change fields in the build.prop as they are going in the PA Rom'.
Make a zip and try flashing. If it works your luck is good but if it bootloops you need to make changes in the frameworkres.apk which requires decompiling it and stuff. I'm still learning how to do the framework part.

So the Rom from the nexus?

Would need to use latest cm9 as base as it is stable and has more working than cm10

If you want to do anything that's maintainable, build from source.
Building from source is a hell of a job and afaik this method will work for all the future updates and is tad easier than building from source
Tapatalked !!
I dont have the ability to build from source
Could look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27602914&postcount=24 I tried it with ICS, never booted.
I don't have any ability whatsoever, but I can be a tester (make sure kernel is easy to work with dual boot) and, if needed, I can give a little of my pc processing (not much).
"I got my values. So you can keep yours, OK?"
How about a paranoid android bounty thread?
Pledge donations so some developer with skill might take it on?
