Hi guys. We all saw that racht tried to port HTC 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs for our X8s. Unfortunately a lot of things don't work, so now I'm tryin to set properly working X8 2.1 drivers to that 2.1 HTC rom (or maybe 2.2).
Next I will make files that you could restore through xRecovery, so i need testers for that.
I'll help than I can=)
I can test it out for bugs too
You can count on me too
Sent from my X8 with bootloader removed
count me in
I can test , my x8 is not my main phone so I can cope if it goes wrong.
Ok guys, thanks for answers but now I'm tryin to start phone with modifiyed drivers. 'Clean' system works good, but if i change anything, or try to paste any library from original X8 rom i can't boot it again.
So i'm still working on it. xRecovery helps me a lot
i did next............copy all apk files and libraries from original SE firmware, to the HTC 2.2 firmware. but after phone starts, and trying to unlock it, it show a critical error in android.phone and rebooting. may be it help you. i don't have much time for experiments, but i've got a tester. so may be enjoy our works here? post what you paste in you version, and i can post here what i am insert.

sorry ,, v.bad english
"my native languege is arabic"

For guys who want to unpack and repack system files I'll post tutorial tommorow. Maybe sb will have lucky day.
It was hard to find way to extract system.img (linux file system) on Windows, but i found it with X10's dev help and a lot of googling(i was 100% noob, now maybe 98% xD). Same with repack it again.
And i'm not a dev, just noob who don't want to wait for others, and try to make sth.
And what more - htc widgets aren't working in X8 orig ROM - i tried it so stop asking.

download an other custom rom and modify it:
add/remove apps
change theme
modify apps (change the icons..etc)
modify framework-res.apk
add tweaks
and any other things you want
I Think that we do not need more rom developer, with owain and slade we got enough, maybe yoou should study about kernel development, thats what we need , im already studying kernels too

Download some custom rom (CM7, CM6, slade's rom or owain's rom) and check in, \META-INF\com\google\android\Update-script, what its inside this file, this will be damn useful for you

messing in the rom is modding,
try to port a rom close to our hardware like wildefire/legend htc sense
play with libs.
for developing get cyanogenmod/floyo or some other source and set it up and try to compile.
ServerBoost100, you are saying that you want to be a developer, but you ask for every step here. Maybe do your own job and study something, not only

I've tried deodexing using dsixda kitchen but I get errors and it never finishes. Not sure if I should convert udpater script to update script first or what! I only want a couple of files deodexed. Can someone please give me a quick and dirty little guide. I have smali/baksmali tools already or do I use something else? I've searched the forums but a lot of confusing methods is all I'm finding. Please point me in the right direction..thanks guys!

Are you using the stock Sprint ROM? I did and had no issues using dsixda kitchen.
What files is it having issues with?

No, not Stock Rom. It is having problems with framework files. It was 3 files, I'll have to fire up the Linux Box and try again to tell you what files exactly. I have not updated kitchen since I got the 3D, perhaps that's where I should start?

Request senior members to help
Hi Guy's,
A similar thread was opened by a forum moderator in another forum so i have contacted Pilot and going to give it a try.
The aim is to help newbies/beginners/anybody by answering any questions/issues they have in this thread, they can ask what ever they want no matter what rom/kernel or anything else they are having difficulty with, a place where they feel no threat for asking such questions.
The thread is to be run by not me but all senior members who are willing to help, the aim is to clear the Dev threads of all the unnecessary questions that are becoming more frequent and making it harder and harder to follow rom development.
For those seeking help, always try and help yourself first, most things can be found here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
If you feel you still need help then fire away, hopefully somebody will have answers for you, please keep questions related to roms in develpopment not stock roms but will cover everything from adb to wlod's.
Please, if you have been helped in anyway by members do not forget to leave thanks.
As usual any new question threads started and not aimed here will be removed by the moderators so please lets keep our development forum clean.
Can i just add that a lot of questions are being asked that can be found in the sticky's, please read those first as most things are covered there.
Thanks guy's for you help.
good idea!
well lets start a little something off then..
1) is there a way to implement voltage control on startup without the need of an app? if so, how?
2) i cant seem to change boot animation. tried changing bootanimation in the normal system/media folder & data/local folder via xrecovery install custom zip file.. any ideas?
thank you!
Awesome idea mate!!
Now anyone can ask questions without creating a new thread or getting burnt!!
@topic: dunno why but my CPU spy seems not to be working, fc'ing all the time even after rebooted. I am on DooM's 3b kernel using J's ROM.
Thank you!!

Very good idea, I also think this should be sticky.
But:
It should have a better thread name like:
Questions regarding roms FCs/Errors/Reboots/WLODs go HERE!
Or something that could let extremely clear that if they want to ask something that are not directly a development(but regarding it) should go in here.
Another but, rsrsrs:
The thread should remain only about roms that are developed in here, anything regarding original SE rom, unless tweaked and posted in this area should go to Q&A.
You deserve a thanks!

Thanks for the support buddy and the thanks.
I did wonder about the name, maybe something clearer is needed, will see how it goes but thanks for the advice.
Your other point is valid but it would be better if we do not put restrictions on what can be asked in the op as it defeats the whole idea of the thread.
I think that you should also have a set layout for each problem that way it's easier for people to understand what's going on and it's also easier for other people with the same problem to search
Just a thought

No, I mean, no restrictions at all should be done when they question, it should be more like advises, something like:
inside the thread > First post:
You can ask/question anything in here but keep in mind this is guided for ROM developed in xda not for stock roms.
Questions regarding stock rom may be question on Q&A if not already answer that, if you have doubts regarding the best place you can try here no problems with that.
The only request for the thread should be that the questions must be related some how to errors/failures/wlods after using some apps or tweak, requests, doubts regarding new stuff.
As stock doubt like:
Does x10 flash led works good? should i buy a x10? rsrsrsrs
With time a FAQ can be added to the first post to keep the thread clean and be even more helpful to newbies.

If you made your own Bootanim make sure the zip is uncompressed (ie the files were added with "store" as the compresion other wise it will no worky
then just like @acerulz said adb push or copy it over the excisting one @ system/media/

Hi Buddy,
As your issues you are saying with the games are to do with stock then i do not think anybody here can help you, ask in the Q&A forum see if anybody is having the same problem.
With the wifi, all the roms i know of are fully working, read through some threads and see which rom you would like, it is your personal choice but which ever one you choose there will always be updates to iron out any problems if there are any.
Mac address change
I have a question/request:
How do we change Mac address?
That it is possible I'm sure it is, the problem is that the maximum I could do was to change it for some time(until the adapter was turned off and on again.
I need this to be able to use it on my job as I have only the right to have one mac address.
Being able to use communicator at the office would be very nice, as for now i have to carry the laptop around.
Sometime ago I've tried to question this in Q&A but got no good answer/no help
[Q] X10 Mac Address Change/Spoof How to?
In there I was guided to check this:
Changing(spoofing) MAC address
If someone could help me on this?
In my opinion this would be something that could even become a new option in all roms if the Devs that have knowledge to make it happen like it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
I'm new to modifying Android's roms and here is my problem.. I bought a used SE x10 which has 2.1 firmware.. I heard about 2.3.3 official SE update and went to there website, backed up my data, opened my PC companion to update but it surprised me to keep telling me that my phone is "already up to date"!!
I asked about that and someone told me if the guy who used the phone before me did install a custom rom to my phone before, official ways to update my phone wont work..
so please help and advise me.. either by giving me a solution to that, or to give me a link where i can find answers for my questions..
thank you in advance for your support..
my device info found at "about phone":
Model number: X10a
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Baseband ver.: 2.1.54
Kernel ver.: 2.6.29
Build number: 2.1.A.0.435
Hi, i'm new to the ROM building/editing stuff. I've read a lot about building ROM's from scratch, but thats not what i'm interested in. I would like to know if, and if i can how, i can edit an existing rom for the Samsung Infuse 4g such as the stock rom and replace stock apps. I want to just edit some of the system/apps like the stock launcher, stock messaging app, etc and replace them with different ones that i already have downloaded. I don't want to edit any of the really deep/internal stuff just the stock applications that are loaded on the phone. Pretty much i want to theme it i guess you could say. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?? Thanks in advanced. I'm looking forward to working with custom ROM's.
bump. can anyone help a guy out??

Assuming your file is a .zip file, you could just replace the applications you want (found in the "system/app" folder) on the zip, and sign it afterwards with a tool like AndroidSigner. It works for me
dsixda's kitchen
I haven't used this, but I have seen other ROM modders talk about this application called Kitchen (by dsixda). The link to the post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
From the looks of it, it fits your bill.
you have Output the /system and do some work like change themes and other stuff and their is guys in Android Development and Hacking>Android Software Development
First off, thanks for all your replies, I appreciate getting some assistance. To answer most questions, yes I have the rom as a .zip file and flash it with cwm. I will try to replace the apps I want and then look into signing it ( which I don't know a whole lot about, but ill Google it.)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
Yeah so the apps are in /system/apps/ You can replace them easily, but You have to set good permisions
