I'm new to the whole rooting and flashing world here at XDA and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to build a rom from scratch,and what programs I would need to do so.Thanks

Search for Kitchen if you want a quick and lazy way into.
If not search cause this forum has thousands of posts on what you need to do.

Do you know how to compile and decompile apks, do you know how to edit xmls, do you know how to theme a already built rom?
I ask because these are pretty simple things and if you dont know how to do them then you need to learn that first.
I suggest looking up subjects on xda and google and read read and read some more.

I aspire to be able to pick and choose my fab features and combine the, into my own (with very little credit to myself at that point).

Thats pretty easy to do. You just have to know where they things you want are in the roms.

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how I could get this on my phone. I have a vibrant and my cousin has a captivate and we are both on T-Mobile but I want something like a apk or a flashable cwm zip that would be compatible on both the captivate and the vibrant. Please someone help me, thanks in advance

Some roms come with wifi calling. Just gotta look in the listed features in the op... froyo ones are more likely to be better and less half-assed. Idk anything about captivate... tell him to get a vibrant

Ya but isn't there a way to just download an apk or flash a zip file to make it work but I want it to work on any phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Not at my pc, but you can do this. Install Bloater (made by a dev here on xda) and use that to install wiring calling. Neat and overall useful app. Here is the link: http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=591&

Actually, head to the Dev section and look for EDT Project V ROM thread. In the OP there is the wifi calling .zip file attached which you can flash through recovery. Just did it myself and worked like a charm.

It should work just fine. Check out the 1.3.1 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925548
He has it listed under "Addons" which you flash yourself, so I think that tells you it works/is compatible w/ his rom. If you want to stick w/ their stuff, head here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bionix-v/files/
Download the samsung-apps.zip, open it, drill into system -> app, and extract the wifi-calling .apk file and install like any other app.
I flashed the wifi calling zip from the project v rom thread and the wifi calling doesn't seem to work. All it says is that it is enabling but it never does. I am on simply galaxy v2.7.2 rom

i dont think it would work for the captivate since t-mobile is stingy about this stuff
here are two apk's you can try. i dont know if either will work on the captivate.
both from same xda thread. one is on page 1 and the other is on page 12
Page 1
Page 12 <<<the one on page 12 is the one i used on my vibrant and it works just fine
(its in post #118)
Both of them did not work on my vibrant, all it does is say that it is enabling but it never really enables it. Do you think it is the model number.

Ask in the thread that pertains to your rom, the dev may know. At this point I think we've helped as much as we can in this thread.

I think a good place to start is reading Cyanogen's thread.

Then head over to chef central and read the beginners guide.

Cool thanks guys, I will pm later, working getting windows running under virtualbox.
Also, this has been bothering me for some time now, to root a phone why not just push the Su binary with adb to the bin folder, I mean to say wouldn't that work the same?

I've been wondering the same thing as in the old days when I had my Eris that is how I first rooted it.
That would be theme tools, I want to do a ground up Rom with extras and theme it.
I am wondering if I import cm9 launcher to say viperrez if it would break everything else.

Anyone know how to get the lidroid apk and toggles from Cleanrom ace on to Cleanrom Verizon lovers. I like the Verizon lovers but would like to have all the toggles available in the ACE edidtion..
If you are familiar with ROM building, it should be a simple transfer of system apps and permissions.

Im kinda a noob at this. Rom building isn't my strong suit. Yet!
There are plenty of guides about custom ROM building but the best way is to download CM10 copy it to your desktop and open it up with win rar and just look inside it. That's primary how I learned

That's a good idea I think I just might give it a try got nothing to loose..
As long as you back up and don't touch boot.img or the kernel, you should be good.

Just visit the android chef forum and start reading.
Several good threads around here too, or buried in posts, so the search engine is ultimately your best friend.
Good luck!

I thought I'd jump in here too.
Google is a great tool.
Search for porting and building a Rom.
Also you should read the guidelines for posting in the forums.
There are many rules you need to comply with.
Also remember not all work is open source. So you need permission if you use other people's stuff like apps and modified libs and files.
Good luck.

You can use windows but ubuntu is much better for the kitchen. And windows needs cygwin for the kitchen to work.
