I think a good place to start is reading Cyanogen's thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667298
Then head over to chef central and read the beginners guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
Then look at the android hacking and development forum.

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?

7zip and Photoshop is all you need.

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.

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.

I don't use it.
Actually never have...but I know its easy to setup and use.
My steps are extract the image, deodex, zip up, mod.
Are there any custom recoveries like CWM for this player? I need to install some packages but I can't because of the stock recovery. Any help would be appreciated
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
im not familiar with the 4.2 but i dont think that there is CWM
i found a guide at XDA University. Maybe you can port CWM?
Well, I don't understand some of the stuff it says on there. Would someone with a 4.2 be kind enough to port this?
Sent from my YP-GI1 using xda app-developers app
There's only this for us as far as I know.
Not a lot of development yet.
Yeah I have mine rooted, but porting CWM like the other guy said might be a good idea.

I'd recommend looking at https://github.com/Entropy512/initramfs_yp-g70 for how it was done on a similar device, although you probably can't take most of the files directly.
I don't understand much of developing, what do I do with the link you posted?

Look on the commits tab for the commit on Jan 11, 2012. That will show you what he changed to add CWM. To really use it, install git (in Linux) and run
Code:
git clone https://github.com/Entropy512/initramfs_yp-g70 && git checkout 0b684e3b2601bd
That will download the files exactly as they appeared then. You can try copying the files in /sbin to your initramfs, and performing similar modifications to the init script, and creating an appropriate recovery.fstab (run "mount" in a terminal on your device to see which partitions go with which folders).
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Extract_initramfs_from_zImage for how to get your initramfs.
I can't help too much as I don't have your device.
Thanks for the help! However I have no clue of android development. If someone knows how to do this and has a 4.2, please do it! I think the 4.2 needs more development

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.

You do realize that it was all a joke right? Set DPI to 600 and it poops strains of gold.... You didn't read that and figure out that was not real.
If you are as clueless as your name states is one thing. But with all of the guides available to read that are all over this forum, it only makes you look bad for not reading first or searching before asking questions.
I may not know a damn thing bout Android or many devices. But I make sure to read the FREE wisdom provided by the members here that is stickied all across this site before asking anything. Read read read!

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.
