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
EDIT: BTW, check permissions

I think you should try things man, nobody will help you learning to be a dev , just try with things, that's autodidactic process

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
ok, i have (...), what now?

Hi all! I'm trying to compile the CM9 for optimus one but I don't understand how to do it! I have already compiled the CM7 and there are successful but don't know where to put files and give commands with the sources of CM9! Can someone give me a hand?
What have you done/tried already?
I compiled the CM7 but I don't know how build the CM9! I don't know who commands give and where to put files
Can you help me?
Lupohirp has already started.to port cm9 to p500 there r still some bugs but it's getting there
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
First sync cm9-source, instead of gingerbread you use ics.
Download device and vendorfiles from github.com/lupohirp.
Create following folders in device: lge and lge/thunderg (in time it will be p500 instead of thunderg)
Also download framework_base from his github and replace all files folder in framework/base in your working folder.

how to fix it?
how to fix this error? http://pastebin.com/m3D1vZQs
OMG, if you dont know how to solve compiler errors learn coding/bug fixing instead
of ask again and again for every **** error on a forum. Do you realy think someone want
to help you to learn programming??? i think no one will do so.
Compiling a rom from source code is not the right toy for bloody beginners, sorry if it
sounds to hard but this is the real life.

bro just let him wait for the reply from someone and learn it the hard way...
why waste ur time????
maybe someone will help him but who knows...
look what I just asked one thing I did not ask that someone help me to solve the bugs! I just want to compile the rom! isn't that just because you are good you have the right to judge others.

i doesnt said a thing about the one is a bad programmer / another is better. i only
said that its sometimes better to learn things before get started with big projects
that can waste a lot of time. do what you want - its your time, not mine
so I have time to lose! However I managed to compile the cm7 for another phone! I'm having problems with only the cm9 and can't solve it!
Before you try to compile CM9, read Cyanogen's words of wisdom

thats sooo true.
I read what is written and I understand that to compile the rom you need to develop but still do not know (I have only 15 years old)! However, I still try and just wondering if anyone can help me understand!
I can read code, but I can't code. Let me try to point you in a good direction, it has to do with the audio system.

Hi..im a quite fresh android user after having iphone for the last 4 years....i have a huawei ideos x5 pro that for me at least is a great phone for his price..but the major problem is that we don't have devs for our phone...only one chinese guy that develops roms for at least 7 phones so we aren't his major concern...so im asking if there is a complete noob guide for compiling rom..fixing rom.
i have to tell you and please don't flame that even that i have knowlage over pc's i haven't any knowlage over programming and coding!!so if any guide can't help me it will be ok...i try! but if there is a guide that can help me step by step to understand the basics and then with a bit of research can figure it out the rest it will be helpful!!
Thanks!!
Sorry for my english!

There isn't a "type this, click this, A,B,C" guide. That would be called just copying somebody's work. What you need to do is start reading through ALL the guides you can find, compile a kernel, read smali, change colors, mod pictures, unpack-repack boot.imgs. I can't give you a link and say "Read this tutorial and you will be a developer", that's just not how it works.

After reading a lot of guides...i can say that i didnt find anything so hard but i haven't try it so far so i can say for sure...but i stuck in one thing...somewhere on all the guides it sais to find your device tree...and many guides that are from samsung or htc using some github and some cyanogen brances...i have an huawei ideos x5 pro...where i will find those trees?do i need them for making the android source work with my device or the source from google is universal meaning that when im build the rom from sources.android.com the rom will work in my device??

You must have a device tree... If not you have to build your own... The rom built from source.android.com will only work with google nexus devices...

look for a device with similar hardware and copy that device tree, then try to make adjustments to get it working and voila. and ask that one dev if he can give you his device tree

if u r good at linux, u can try this guide >>> http://handycodeworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/linux_versus_android.pdf
I compile linux kernels for desktop, but the android kernel is not the same. Cyanogen team and GOOGLE Android developers provides a comprehensive guide on building ur own ROM. But to build ur own OS, u need to understand each component carefully. I don't know abt android, but i am making Linux OS from scratch. I have kernel compiled, tool chain set up, now i am putting apps on it. But android uses DALVIK VM for Java apps, also .... U refer the pdf it will tell u. Once i finish making this OS, i'll focus on Android ROMS. They r similar to Linux OS, but require patches in kernel, a light c lib, new fs, a different vm (dalvik) and different ways of managing i/o interrupts and much more..
this link is on porting android on nokia >> http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/Porting-Android-to-a-new-device/
this one is on linux on embedded systems >> http://www.lindusembedded.com/blog/2010/12/07/android-linux-kernel-additions/
Also, sorry to say but learn C/C++/Java . To make ROMS, atleast to make modifications and to understand the kernel u'll need C. Not very hard to learn, Good tuts on Lynda.com and other sites. And be good at Linux. Happy Learning

Apparently Acer released kernel sources for their phone having MT6589... I am sure that by just making some changes we can make kernel for A1160...
