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

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.
Hey Everyone,
I have done a little bit of searching, and I kind of have an idea, but can anyone point me in the right direction on how to create my own bootanimation? Everything I have found is specified for other phones, so I am not sure if it is different. But if anyone can help me out that would be great. I have a couple of ideas on Bootanimations that I would like to try on my phone, but want to make sure I am doing it right. Thanks!
I also would love to find out how to do this

I want to create a ROM, Where do I start?
Here's a good start in the chef's forum:

I just found that link too - thanks.
Ive started off easy so far. I l take one of the great ROMs here and switch out, add, delete some stuff and see if it works.
Most of the time it doesn't - but in breaking it I learn.

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
