I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself
As one of the few devices that got the original Boot 2 Geko, can some tell me if they think it is possible to port it under its new name and form Firefox OS, since it is on nightlies now?
Also if anyone would be willing to share their experiences with Boot2Gecko?
Hello every one
I have made my own little kernel for x86 PCs. But it doesnt do much thing!!!
I just want to port it to smart phones but I dont know how. In android there is a bootloader that loads linux kernel or recovery images. I want to know is it possible to replace the linux kernel with any other kernels like mine? For example I have written a very simple kernel in assembly that only shows a bitmap on a x86 PC and I want to port it to my Desire HD. What should I do for this?
You can see some devices like HTC HD2 can boot many OSs like android, windows phone7/8, ubuntu, mego and some more I guess. So it should be possible to do something like this on a android device.
Please help and sorry for my bad English
The kernel will only boot if it is linux

So what if its not based on linux? I just want to overwrite the bootloader and the android OS with something else but I don't know how

If it isn't linux based the kernel won't communicate with the board, it is impossible. It won't boot at all
Okay thanks
I'm not a coder and the last android ROM I cooked was some mod for my friends galaxs s4 I actually bought this tablet and am hopeing for either actual desktop Linux or touch Linux do any of you guys think we can get this to happen since android 4.4 is Linux based
Is possible to install Linux on Galaxy View SM-T667?
I am trying use it as work computer, with linux on board it will be better
I guess there is not been such a topic, so my question is it possible at all? CPU is Samsung Equinox, can Linux run on this processor?
If yes, please give some links to articles that i should read for do some experiments youself?
I know Ubuntu make cell phones and tablets maybe you can try to port to View Ubuntu also allow you porting to a new device here https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/ seems like someone has try to porting to samsung tablets before but abandoned it under here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices
