Custom ROMs - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo!
I am ZTE Racer II user and i am looking for roms.
1 year of researching and no custom rom available on the net?!?
It was wierd,but that's it.
No roms.
So I need help with developing custom rom for this device,plz!!!
Thanks ahead!

You'll need to have some experience of linux and compiling from source, and knowledge on your phone's internal hardware. You might also need knowledge on the Android platform.
You'll also need to figure out how to get clockworkmod recovery on your phone
Good luck!

A little HELP?
Well ,I am not so good at that stuff ,but i want to have custom ROM.
That's why I ask for someone to make me a custom ROM.
Here is a link of the stock Rom I am using now.
www .4shared .com/zip/wNcQoJ9j/STOCK_ROM.html
I prefer MIUI custom ROM
And I installed this ROM via clockwork mod recovery and I'm using it right now.
Thank you ahead!
And I'm sorry the forum does not allow me to post the link because I'm new user!
(Just delete the space in the link)

1.Rooting is different from installing custom roms.
Rom is the android term for OS which is of many types.
Rooting is enabling ur device to access, edit & delete the rom components which include the built in applications to the codes that run the OS.
2. Stock roms are those which come along with ur device from the manufacturers which are usually called firmwares.
Custom roms are those which are developed by the android developers for the comfortability with many additional features! They are rated based on their performance, stability, userinterface, etc. The famous stable custom rom developing team is Cyanogenmod.
3. The are many methods for rooting and installing custom rom which are strictly based on ur phone model!
4. Rooting gives u further power! Custom roms gives u new experience in every aspect which means that the rules are bent for our comfortability!

[Q] Need some guidance for developing a ROM

Hi!
I currently own a GT-i9100T (Australian), but I have installed an i9100 ROM on it, so I guess they are the same models.
Firstly, I want to develop a ROM for GT-I9100 phones, but I need some guidance. I need a clean, booting kernel that will work, regardless of which custom ROM I will develop.
Secondly, I want to know if there is way to test my built ROM. Maybe dualboot? The last phone I had, I developed CM10 for it, and to test it I booted the ROM from an sdcard, by changing the locations of /system, /cache, /data in the boot image. So, is there a way to boot from the sdcard for this phone as well?
OK. So, to summarise it, I am asking for the following:
- A clean kernel that can be used to develop any ROM, and the ROM will boot.
- A dualbooting method to be able to test the new ROM. Possibly booting from sdcard.
I will look more deeply into the 'booting from sdcard' question myself, but I am still looking for guidance regarding it.
Thank You.
Wow! 58 views and no reply! Come on people; I expect more from you guys...

Here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29454264
I develop my first rom from this guide only.
Good luck :thumbup:
Hahahahaha!
Thanks for your precious time, but that guide looks like it is for total noobs.
I am a senior member for a reason. I have developed a couple of ROMs before, but this is a different phone, so i am not familiar with this phone. This is why i was asking for some guidance.
I know how to developed, but I need to know the things in the original post.
Thanks.
@rqmok
Well I would think that you are building a AOSP based ROM? If so DorimanX Kernel lets you dual boot...... (Second ROM is run on the SDcard) You can use this kernel solely for testing.
Now for the kernel of the ROM, the cleanest kernel I can think of that powers CM AOSP AOKP is CM kernel? You can just compile from CM source and use it?
Thanks a bunch!!

Hi all reading this post
I have an acer liquid s2 with android 4.2.2 stock, rooting this device is very easy but but i've found nothing about a custom rom or aosp rom like Cyanogenmod (my dream).
it's a very good phablet but i don't like the stock rom, i prefer my galaxy s4 mini with cm11.
Is there any way to have an alternate rom ?
Please ohhhh please.
Thanx.
Sorry for my english i 'm french
Doesn't look like there is any development for it at all beyond unlocking the bootloader, root, and CWM recovery. I learned my lesson about buying devices that developers aren't interested in awhile ago... Just one of those things, unfortunately. I suggest using a different launcher and the Xposed Framework for the best way to mod without needing a custom rom.

developing custom rom for G700, all xda veterans please help me!!

Actually I have many question
I think when a newbie like me start to work on rom development then there are several questions arises in mind basically like what I am going to ask here, my purpose is to get all this doubts cleared before starting so that I can start to focus on things. I don't know if my questions will help other newbies like me but it will literally help me a lot .
I am trying to develop a custom rom for ascend g700 as i have seen it among the most hated device among developers , no one want to do anything for this phone and it can accomodate a lot of upgradation. I have seen g700 users begging inside CM forum to build a latest ROM for this device, I have also seen g700 owners begging on huawei website to upgrade their devices but huawei doesn't even feel like to give a word to it. and I feel really bad about this .
So i just want to build a good looking, working, clean, latest by look and feature rom for Ascend g700 for all users, there are various reasons why I want to do that:
1) One of the biggest reason why I am here is I want to see g700 users smiling with joy that finally somebody has updated their device, I want all g700 owners to feel worth buying the device.
2) No working custom rom is available for this device yet.
3) No Cyanogenmod rom available.
4) This device configuration seems potentially great which literally needs update (atleast up to kitkat).
5) And personally I don't like UI emotion of this phone besides that google play store has some bug which makes icons background looks black which is a sore to eyes, Huawei did nothing for this device yet except just earned the bucks from it. I hate the companies who are ignorant about their customers.
I don't want to bore anyone reading my thread but i have lots of questions to resolve before i start to develop something for this device and I hope i will succeed.
Okay so let's get started with my questions, all veterans are requested to kindly share their vast knowledge and help me understanding the facts. thanks in advance .
Objective: what i am trying to do is, trying to find out the latest possible (Lollipop) rom which I can use as base rom to flash this device (Ascend G700) or just build a custom one fully working.
1 First: Are there any neutral latest android rom versions are available from google official websites to start using on any device or to start develop it for any particular device?
If "yes" then from where i can get it?
If "No" then from where the companies get their android roms on first hand as a clean plain base android rom to make it their own rom?
2 second: Can i just install any rom of any phone and it will start to work?
If "No" then what maybe the problems that I would first encounter?, what can I do to fix that any such known problems?
3 Third: I have heard about porting rom by changing things inside rom like replacing kernel of base rom with my stock rom, Kernel of my stock rom (4.2.1) can work with lollipop rom (5.0.0)? if yes then which lollipop rom would be best to use for (G700) and from where I can get one?
4 Fourth: Can I use my old kernel, camera and radio from stock rom in newer lollipop rom will it work? is it possible to do that?
5 Fifth: Can I use any kernel on any phone? or there are any specific particular to device types? or is it necessary to use the old kernel?
6 Sixth: If I flash my phone with custom new rom the radio will also be flashed with it automatically? even if I doesn't want to? How would I know that the rom i am going to use contains the flash files for radio also? and can i remove that? and use rest of the rom?
7 Seventh: If i flash my phone with new custom rom what are chances that it's camera will not work? or radio maybe affected?
8 Eighth: What can i do to port my camera from stock rom to new custom rom which I want to flash. the camera of old rom (4.2.1) can work with lollipop (5.0.0)?
9 Nineth: The device is a dual sim, any special thing to keep in mind before flashing a rom? a rom should necessarily be valid for dual sim? are there any specific types?
Please all the veterans from XDA are requested to provide inside to all these questions of mine, so that I can start working on my custom rom, I seriously want to upgrade this phone please help
Any help from anyone who knows anything related to any question of mine are welcome to share their knowledge.
Thanks in advance .
