[Q] Help me to develop my first custom ROM! - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

I adore my YP-G70, but with no ICS, I'm beginning to get miffed. None of the custom ROMs I've seen are that impressive, so I'd like to make my own. PLZ tell me how.

Download the CM9 source and JackpotClavins device tree from his github. Then build from source . Btw this is unlikely to work first time so keep trying and use google

I have a guide that may help you, after you compile from source:

Lol that's all the easier stuff. Compiling from source is the hard bit if you haven't done any dev work before

Yeah, that's what I meant it for, a way for him to get his feet wet after compiling from source. Compiling can be a pain in the neck if you don't have stuff setup correctly...

The only problem is I have absolutely no experience with java. None. I have a good laptop (only runs linux from USB, hard Drive Error) and a solid understanding of python but nothin else. Currently im REALLY n00bly. PS thanks for the links i will be checkin them out.

I've compiled cm7 and cm9 before, and it doesn't require java. Maybe only a little bit for the framework, but it is mostly c++ for the rom and c for the kernel. And c++ and java are quite similar too..

[Q] Is any of this possible on a mac?

Hi all. I've been looking into developing and such for android and most of the stuff and guides out there are for Windows. Is developing a ROM for my phone, the DX, possible on a mac? And how much of a pain in the butt would it be?
I'm just curious as I have hours of free time every day and need something to do.

It's possible. Building from the AOSP source is supported by Google on the Mac, the Windows stuff can be done with Wine.

[Q] Add New Apps for Webtop [Gimp, Thunderbird, etc...]

I would like to get more than just Firefox on the webtop. A few applications in particular:
Mozilla Thunderbird
Gimp (or equivalent)
OpenOffice (or equivalent)
If I can get these three applications installed, I could fully function without a PC nearby all the time. I have very little Linux background beyond loading up a build and playing with the applications that were already installed. Any information will be appreciated. Anyone think this can be done? Memory limitations is all that I see really standing in the way. I doubt this will be even up to par with most netbooks as far as multi-tasking...
It can be done. It's just a matter of doing it cleanly, which at least I'm working on. Although trying to run Gimp on this hardware... that's gonna suck.
I want chromee!

As others have pointed out, ya ain't getting Chrome. Source code isn't available for it. The best you can get would be Chromium, but the earliest Ubuntu packages available for that are for 10.04, and we're running on a 9.04 base. It'll be painful to do that upgrade, and there are no guarantees on what would work after that.
But, if you're willing to do the work, I'll happily cheer you on!

Sogarth, do you have a cross-compiling environment setup that you can share? So far I've just been locating debs already compiled for the arm platform, but I'd like to start building things from source.

I've not built one out yet since I haven't needed to yet (especially since I'm trying to tackle a different problem first). That's not to say that I won't eventually need to, though.

Quick question about Rom development.

Over the past couple weeks every waking moment of spare time I have had I have used reading any article, watching any movie, browsing any forum thread I have found on the topic of custom rom development and I think I'm getting close to where I can begin my first build. If any of the users here can point me to any helpful links to help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Now, onto my question. This is probably considered pure sacrilege but I was just curious on the matter. I was wondering, lets say I was wanting to port the new ToudhWiz over to our device would this be possible. If it is possible how difficult is it going to be and is it a project a beginner developer could ever hope to accomplish?
Onto my second question. I have been waiting ever since I got the DNA to see an Ubuntu Touch port for it and have got to the point where I don't believe I'm ever going to see it happen. Is this due to it being harder to build then lets say a AOSP based Rom or is it because not many people in our community here seem to care if it happens or not? The reason I'm asking is because after I get a couple Roms compiled from the simple FAQs I have been able to find and have figured out kind of what I'm doing I think I would like to try to port it over. Once again, ANY and all help is greatly appreciated, whether it's just links to other sites that has helped the developers here get to where they are or even someone wanting to help me learn personally. I have the upmost respect to all of the developers on this site and want to be able to consider myself among this elite group very soon. If I have posted this in the wrong place let the mods move it and let me know of my mistake.
Sincerely,
DrewHamm974
As someone who is fairly new to android / Rom development. Its something that takes a bit of time. I started small by just learning how to compile from source to figuring out how to get it set up to work on a device that already has support to eventually bringing roms to this device when they weren't supported.
I'm no expert but also knowing a programming language like C, C++, and Java will help.
Xda-university.com has some stuff on Rom development.
As for porting TW probably won't happen. Ububtu touch good luck... You will need either someone to do kernel work or learn how to dev a kernel first...

First off I would like to say thank you very much for answering my question. Honestly, I was hoping for an answer from you, Pio, Palmer, or amit_sen. I am currently running CyanFox and must say it is awesome. If I could be bold enough to ask, why would porting TouchWiz not work? Is it due to something about it being a proprietary rom or is it something in the source that won't compile for anything but a Galaxy phone. The reason I am asking is due to the fact if I'm not completely mistaken I saw a sense rom for either the S2 or S3 not long ago.
Now onto Ubuntu touch, I thought all you had to have to port it was a working CM 10.1 build to get it working. Also, is there anywhere besides XDA University you could send me to help learning Rom and/ or Kernel development. Once again I greatly appreciate you taking the time to answer my question I idolize any devs that are on here freely giving their time and hard work.

I would recommend learning how to build CM 10.2. Once you have a working build, figure out how to build AOKP (or any other ROM without official support).
After that, you will probably have new questions.
Thanks will definately do.

Touchwiz would be easy to get booting but almost everything would be broken. And because you can't actually compile touchwiz it makes fixing anything a giant pain. Ubuntu touch on the other hand would be relatively easy because you can compile it.

If I remember correctly, Ubuntu touch is typically based on the cm10.1 kernel, for whatever it's worth.

[Q] [Help] Implementing features from one ROM into another?

Hello,
So I'm running a Nexus 4 with C-RoM on it. Before hand I was using Nexus5Experience, but had a few problems with it and I liked the features in C-RoM. However, C-RoM has stopped support for Halo. I was wondering if it was possible if someone could tell me a way to put Halo into C-RoM as I loved using it in N5X. If someone can lead me to a few guides to doing something like this, even if it's not specific to Halo. Thank you!

I've seen it, and it's rather crap compared to the actual Halo. I'd much rather try to port halo into C-RoM. It much be possible if C-RoM use to include Halo.

If you're willing to work from source then it's possible, but the Halo commits are all over the place and it's a rather large project, so it'd be very difficult. You might be able to find a dev willing to help.

[L7 II] CM11 for L7 II - Kickstart (Team LAG)

Hi all,
The purpose of this thread is to coordinate our efforts trying to build CM11 for LG L7 II series.
Here we will share ideas, distribute our tasks and basically do whatever we can to have CM11 running as fast and as reliably as possible on our beloved device.
Next thing I believe should be a plan on how to kick off this project. This Wiki page (thanks @kalel29) is probably a good start, but we need to start rolling it. Will be glad to hear any other suggestions from anyone with more experience lifting up such a task.
Edit:
ROMs are ready. Here are the official threads for CM11 L7 II devices (by weritos):
CM11 for L7 II single SIM (p710/p712/p713/p714)
CM11 for L7 II dual SIM (p715/p716)
What all "wannabe-developers" must set up is definitely a Linux workbench, like it is just written in THIS thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302780
This is an all-round starter for everyone I think, also, let me share my personal experience with you - just be very-very careful when installing Linux next to Windows - I losed all my personal data because of some partition details gone wrong.
An other point, is that what we all have seen lately, and sadly: without sharing the sources of our work, the project will be closed by XDA admins, that's what we've seen with the custom kernel of airodsas, and the CM10 of weritos. So whatever we've done, we must synchronize that onto the team's GitHub.
That's all what should be done in the first place, I think. Also, I'd like to offer my graphic skills to make an elegant look to the team, I mean banners, logo, and some other fancy stuff
Maybe this serves you

Thanks. This is for CM10.2. However, I guess that the right way to go is to merge the Vendor/HW dependent stuff from official LG KK into CM11.

Thanks for the useful link. Was going to setup an additional PC with Ubuntu at home next week. Now there are few additional step to perform there.
Ok then,i think that we need to its sync the team in order to work better,by putting schedules or something,also time zones will be important

Alright then!
So first, we need to see who's on our team, and what each one can contribute.
We need to form the strategy of how to attack this task.
We should allow a few days (I suggest until Monday-Tuesday) for people to setup their development environment (shifty's link is a good starting point). Everyone here also need to setup a github account, as the CM sources are on github.
As for me: I don't have experience building ROMs or developing Android apps, but I do have experience in Linux development (including scripting and a bit of workstation administration). Ready to help any way I can. TZ is GMT+2.
Time zone over here is -6 GMT

I would like to work for this project. I had some knowledge about building roms. And I already got a pc with Linux. So now anyone of us should lead this project and have to assist others and allocate the task for the members. And importantly everyone should update status everyday and make this thread active.

Of course he had to, that was his intention with the pic, and the CM10 also. Let's forget this whole thing, and focus on our project.
