Hello.
Could you please direct me to the threads or external pages regarding ROM cooking?
I'd like to learn some more about Android and then maybe try to tweak the system for myself.
Basically I'm quite satisfied with what stock 4.0.3 brings but on the other hand I can see some parts that could be changed a bit and also I'd like to get rid of some stuff and apps and others include or replace...

Hey all Im kinda new to the Android scene, I did do a search but couldnt find what I wanted, so if there is a thread out there sorry couldnt find it. I like all the battery mods etc, but I would like to learn how to do this myself. Is there some sort of software that will allow you to plug in your framework etc and help make a battery mod for the custom rom you are using. I have tried the online kitchen with no luck as it gives me errors no matter what I try. Any ideas or help would be great as I would like to give back to the Android community not just take from it
Hello all!
Well i've used many search tools here on site, and i've also done some cutom searches on my phone, and yet can't find what i KNOW is here somewhere.
So i'm asking for a little help to point me in the right direction! I'm on the Samsung Fascinate (obviously) running 2.3.3 EC09 with Kernel 2.6.35.7
I would love to get my hands on a cutom dialer, and maybe even in addition to some customization onto contacts list look and feel.
Now directing me to themes and apps is not what im looking for, i dont care to add any full phone theme, i make my own custom (yet basic) themes, just wondering if there is any pre-made dialer replacements, and just maybe a contact list to go along??
I'm almost certain someone will call me blind and point me right there, but I really have came to my witz end looking, and have probably looked right over it!
Thanks in advance for the help in where to find what my mind seeks!!!!
Edit- Before someone asks or states " if you built your own theme why not a dialer?" Simply put, I don't want to!!!! I want a quick pre-made to move about my buisness with!!
My appologies
1st I'm fairly alien to the idea of going into editing files etc or indeed anything thats without some form of GUI for an idiot like me:cyclops:
2nd maybe this should really be in the Archidroid ROM developers forum,
but I think this may be a similar problem with other Ad-block apps.
I'm running Archidroid 2.3.5 and the ad:cyclops:block is great except there's a few rare occasions when I actually need to see the contents of an ad, whether it's because it contains a confirmation code or because it covers most of the screen except a close button...somewhere.
So the big question is how can I turn the adblock off so it will show those ads?
...or even better somehow have an on/off switch???
Thanks
Hello People.
I have seen here many people asking what rom is best for them and i understand that it is entirely a personal choice.
That said, i would really appreciate any advice as this will be my first Custom ROM.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 a while ago (almost as soon as i got it actually) so that i could remove some very annoying apps.
Having done that i was quite happy with the vanilla kitkat on my phone untill very recently, when I was told that i could not update the os because the phone was rooted.
With that I have now decided that, since i will get no more updates i may as well try a custom rom.
Here is the problem. I have looked at loads of ROMs on here and i have no idea what to try.
I am looking for a ROM that is very similar to the stock kitkat (maybe with some of the annoying stuff removed).
That can potentially improve my battery life, I will also try inverted colour schemes (or a ROM that allows you to customise your colour scheme).
Looks and the like are less important to me as i adapt very quickly to new layouts ect.
I use google for my contacts, and calendar so it is important that this will still work normally (I.E. sync gmail contacts and calendar with contacts and calendar apps on phone).
Ideally still have the stock kitkat keyboard as I really like that (and have tried others but always reverted back).
And critically must have no google or samsung apps that are not crutial to operation of the ROM, i will install what i need (althought i suspect that all ROMs conform to this anyway).
I will try any (reasonable) suggestions in response to this post, only after reading the reviews of any suggested ROM.
I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong place, and If there is any further information that is needed just ask.
Thank you all in advance.
Alex
So I want to try customizing a rom for my g925, but all the information I can find is outdated and abandoned or specific to a certain device or incomplete. I'm sure it's out there somewhere, but I just don't know what to look for.
I think the best way is using a kitchen based on what I've read so far, so is there one that works for s6 and s6 edge and works on windows? I've never dealt with linux, so I'd rather not have to start there. Cygwin is what I'd need right?
Somewhat related, (my g925f 32gb is gonna be replaced by a g925t 128gb once I figure all this out) there's a bunch of videos on youtube (with links to download the file) to convert a g925t to g925f. These work fine, but still come with bloatware, so I'd like to make it myself. I found only one thread that doesn't work anymore because the basebands don't match or something.
Do I need a ton of space and time to build from source, or can I just modify the tar.md5 contents?
If anyone could help or point me in the right direction, I'd be really grateful!
Mmm. Somehow in all of my searches, I never found chef central. Now I've gotten somewhere. Should be able to narrow down my broad questions now.
Been using ASSAYYED Kitchen with great results. Got the stock MM rom totally debloated and updated some apps to the version I prefer!
Now I need to figure out how to disable the volume warning. I found this thread but it seems to be outdated for MM on the s6 edge. Still might be there hiding in the 1100+ pages of comments.
Also need to figure out how to make bootanimation.qmg's and such now that samsung's theme maker has been turned into a license application. I still have a few alternatives to look into like katkit or themeDIY. Bet I could probably find the old theme designer program floating around archive.org or elsewhere too.
Also need to bundle themes with the rom.
So I figured out how to disable the safe volume warning on 6.0.1 finally. Found this post, so I added
Code:
audio.safemedia.bypass=true
on its own line in build.prop at the end of the ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES section. Nice thing is it still leaves the little red zone in case I ever use the stock earbuds again, heh.
Now off to adding a new kernel and themes and bootanimations.
