Hi all! I am very interested in such theme, as making rom for my device. I'm sure there are people who can give me link or advices where I can get info about it, download different sources of different android versions, articles about someone's practice of rom making and so on. Thank you for help.
I use dsixda kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246) to make my own custom roms. I also managed to port a rom from Nexus One to HTC HD2 with it (all was working except WIFI).
You can also look at freeyourandroid.com, there are very good tutorials to learn how to make a custom rom.
if your making themed rom and your rom based on cm7 then yo can use this
persist.sys.themeId=
persist.sys.themePackageName=
build.prop tweak if you just copy and paste this line on end of build.prop and add name of your theme that for your rom example
persist.sys.themeId=Cyanbread
persist.sys.themePackageName=com.tmobile.theme.Cyanbread
but make sure this theme on system/app folder if not then it will not work
and if you are thinking to port rom on your device then you can find many guide to port roms on xda and google

So i saw that in other devices fourms they ported the Sense 4.0 multitasking screen. But it's not working for all devices or builds.
So a dev/ or user has to port the code to our builds . I myself don't have the time to port it but i am looking forward to seeing this on out beloved device.

It's quite easy I have this running now on my defy ...... U need to source code to apply no porting necessary
I will help you make one for yourself after my exams are done
There's already a thread that has a flashable zip that works for older nightlys.
it may look neat but it hardly promotes multitasking that the inbuilt ics carousel provides...you can barely see the next two open apps using the sense "multitasker"

Thanks. I have exams as well ) i will try to port it. If i stumble i will let you know. Maybe i will like it.
Good luck on your exams.
So I read that to port a rom, both devices must have the same processor. Is there a way around this? Thanks
I've just started looking into porting ROMs (more specifically, ICS themes to Gingerbread), and I found a few tools that port the ROM for you. If it were really that easy, isn't it possible to port any ROM to any device? This might be a really stupid question and I'm not fully understanding what porting a ROM means.
These were the tools that I found:

Generally porting a rom means to get a rom which you like of some other device to your device... Both the devices should be same screen resolution and same android version..
I use this guide :highfive: -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32080012
So if I wanted to theme Gingerbread so that it looks like ICS (i.e. by editing Mms.apk, SystemUI.apk, etc), how exactly would I do so?
I found HoloEverywhere (https://github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere, README: https://github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere/blob/master/README.md) that lets developers theme their apps to the Holo Theme, but I'm not sure how to apply this to the Gingerbread APK files.
Are there any guides that show the user how to create a rom from scratch? I've seen multiple guides on creating a rom but they do so using the kitchen. I would prefer something that shows how to make a rom without a crutch.
please help

I would say the best way to make a ROM from scratch is to compile it from source. If your interested in learning how to compile a ROM from source I would recommend taking a look at this guide to building Jelly Bean from source, as well as Google's offcial documentation on building Android from source. Additionally this guide on Zip Based ROM tweaking is a good guide to take a look at. Let me know if you still have any questions .

Normally all device forums have tutorials on how to compile ROM from source(if someone has already compiled it).
If no development has yet started for your phone then you you need to create the device tree which is tough. Otherwise just google . There are lots of tutorials lying on xda.

Thanks, I didn't even know there was an official guide
I'm wanting an AOSP ROM on my s5 g901f but there is no support at all. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'd like to have a go and have looked up porting but I don't think that is the way to go. If somebody could give me the steps what I need to do for this modal I will research.
Could I use the cm for note 4 as it has similar specs, ie
805, 420 etc. Or s5 g900 as a base ROM? Or would I need to build from scratch?
There is only one custom ROM for g901f and that's touchwiz so somebody please help before I go insane. Touchwiz really is that bad
Up for this. Really interested especially for us who has not so good programming skills

Let's see if I can point you in the right direction! Because of the differences in specs between your S5 Plus and the regular S5 you can't use that to port ROM's. For the Note 4 idea, since you only have a Touchwiz ROM as your base (The one from your S5 Plus) it won't work properly for the port ROM (CM12 Note 4). I would recommend looking at compiling CM12 for your device, which I would recommend taking a look at this guide here. Let me know if you have any questions be happy to help you out.
