Hope I've posted in the correct section
Hi guys,
How to I go about creating an update-script? Over the past few days I'be been cooking my own ROM (it's a port from the Incredible S dumps) and creating the update script is the last step before I test the ROM out and if it works, uploading to the Android Development forum.
I'm using a Nexus One btw.
So, could any assist me?
Thanks,
redbullcat
I tried to make my own the other day, and I found a helpful thread on the commands you can use for it. Ill try and find the link then update here.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641223
This one is for update-scripts but I imagine there's not that much difference, correct me if I'm wrong. There does seem to be other commands for the same things in updater-script.
Another suggestion is to look at existing updater-scripts and see what makes them tick. They are quite self explanitory, nice and easy to read.

You can take an update script from another custom rom, i think.
Don't forget to sign and do nandroid.

You could also do this, but depending on what the custom rom changes you may need to change things in there, maybe not.

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!!

dude like even i had this problem , on Ericks Rom ..coz i used to update the patchs released by him on top of another and another .... like i used to follow the steps as mentioned by Erick .. but still i used to get FC's .. so what i did is once i flashed the full ROM (cleared everythin) and flashed the latest Patch and voila !! my cpu Spy started working again .. i think that problem comes when we try to update once patch on top of another and so on ...

GOOD IDEA!
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!

There is thread on the Evo 3D CDMA development section by "freeza" about "dissecting and Modding a rom". There is some good tips about where and how to get set up. After that - read, read, read, learn, read and try until you get it right. Making a rom is difficult and will take time to learn properly.

Hey guys, i was just wondering if i could make my own rom, or at least compile my personal build of an existing rom, i d love in the future to make a hole working rom with things i like from all roms, but i really dont know where to start.
i dont know much about programming, but i m learn quickly. i d just finished my first year studying sistems engeneering but im still a noob about programming so i d love some help, where to start how to build what language do you use, what IDE, etc, how to compile etc.
at least i ll love to start downloading the source of any of the wonderful roms in this forum and try to compiled it myself, but really i dont know where to start.
thanks a lot guys
pd:sorry i know my english sucks T_T

sorry dont want to be rude but i dont want to try a custom kitchen, i already read about them a lot and they actually dont require any skill or knowledge, they re great to build your rom without knowing anything but they actually dont teach anything in the process.
dont get me wrong, they re amazing. but i want to learn how to build, compile,starting coding and maybe one day be a full developer. that kitchen d only make me feel that im doing something while actually im just pressing keys and moving some files. and getting a rom in return

Today i succesfully set up a ubuntu virtual machine and now its on repo sync(pacman rom). Today ll make my first build. I also installed eclipse and sdk, started remembering some c basic coding and maybe some day i ll start with java.
My next plan is to learn how to compile the rom with apolo kernel, instead of standard pacman kernel directly from source.
