I searched in the forum, but it seems to be no present a tutorial forcooking a custom ROM.
I've got a GalaxyS, i flash many ROM and i've to install apps everytime...boring! So I wonder if is it possible to modify a custom ROM to add/remove apps for instance.
I'm a java developer, but I've got no experience with Linux... Is it a problem?
Could someone post a kind of guide to learn how to moify a ROM?

its because we have touchwiz.
if we had stock android, it would be much easier developing
Well I have an evo and I too am looking for a tutorial to cook roms. I have no developing experience and just want to learn.

You can modify:
framework-res.apk
All the apps, you can unpack the .apk's, located in /system/app/ and replace the icons, or even the whole app.
You can add/remove/replace .apk's, located in /system/app
services.jar
Much, much more.
If you're on Linux, you can unpack the .apk's out of the box. Otherwise, install 7zip.
Once you're done modifying them.
Hi all, I wanted to try Lucid, Vivid & Tangerine Themes for AOKP/CM9, I found them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620990
User sonnysekhon has done great work, they look awesome! He has them available for download and has instructions to make an .apk or a .zip if I understand correctly. Could someone who knows (and has the time) do it and send it to me? Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with the processes needed to make it on my own..
Thank you very much.
Hello Guys its seems big mess to setting up the things.
Im Install this or that and etc and the things just don`t work sometimes like we expect they to work.
For example im Theme Designer and i never did APK files before.
NOW i want to create a Zooper Clock Widget just for start i already did it BUT now i have to make from this Widget signed APK file in order to be distributed and all other people who use Zooper to be able to install it as a single APK
So any help is welcomed.
I read this tut: http://www.zooper.org/wp/android/zw/apk
and download all the things installed

https://github.com/mycolorscreen/ZooperWidgetSampleSkin
but its seems like the things don`t wana work at all.
Anyone who can help me with the settings or explain me more is there any other variant to create an APK File?
Thanks
Hi,
I am trying to create a theme for Touchwiz based KitKat ROMS.
I have come a long way, but I am stuck with one item. Can you please check out the image attached with this post.
Basically I want to change the height for the Preference items in the settings area. And I am not able to pin-point the right file for it. I tried to google it, but I guess I am not using the correct words.
Can someone please help me with this. Or it will be great if you can point me to a thread/guide that can help me with it, and I will take up from there.
Thanks
Hi
I am new (like totally new) I haven't done any phone programming before and I haven't done any computer programming for years (yes I am 46, but I am a techno junky). I like the themes on the Samsung Themes Store, but I would like to make my own and use them. I have looked at how to make Icons etc, but I would like to know how to get them onto my phone without using another Launcher. I have looked into Samsung Developers, but being a beginner I don't have any designs and I wouldn't know where to start.
I also tried following a thread '[GUIDE] Make your own Themes for your Samsung device' by mygalaxya, but I couldn't find where to download the Java JDK & Android SDK. The link takes me to Android Studio which I have already downloaded.
Would someone be so kind as to help me, from the beginning? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
P.S. I'm not stupid just need some guidance
