hey guys
i m planning to cook my own rom and i need some help here.
i m planning to build my custom rom based on CM and aokp
i wanted to know about this : it has gappas, i have to edit only base rom right? i dont have to touch gapps if i dont want to theme it ? am i correct?
and i just started learning it , so i m using kitchen
thanks for your time
Yes that is correct. The UI framework that android uses is in the base ROM or system. Gapps just contains the assortment of Google applications that cannot be added into major ROMs directly due to licensing issues (since CM/AOKP source is GPL and Google apps are proprietary). This is why CM/AOKP provide gapps but do not bake into their ROMs from the get go.
Hope I helped!
Think u can make gapps native to your own rom...I've been doing this from far now and never had any problems...the thing is CM can't include them,you're not cm...anyway you can theme as much as you like them,but will have to make your own zip path for users...it's not as difficult as it sounds, you can even take meta-inf from original path and just compile and sign it

While looking for a fully working camera and video recorder for our current crop of Jellybean and KiKat ROMs I stumbled across this thread in the development and hacking forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558177
The developer dotmaniac, calls it Famigo AROMA GApps
This mod is great. Basically it's a well thought out aroma installer that contains all of the latest KitKat gapps, a working Photosphere, GE launcher, and many additional current Google apps. It allows you to choose which ones you want to install or not install . Plus it allows you to remove cruft or features you don't want from many popular AOSP ROMs. It works on both Jellybean 4.3 and KitKat 4.4 based ROMs.
I tried it on the jellybean based evervolv and PACman ROMs and it works!! It allows you to run a more stable JB ROM, but have the look and new features of KK. Photosphere camera and video recorder work well, as does the new launcher. Just remember to set the resolution to 720p or lower before using the video or else it will lock up your device (because of the ROM not this mod).
The current version 9.0.1 please thank the dev / OP dotmaniac, for his hard work in putting all this together.(Edit: THIS VERSION WILL NOT INSTALL THE PHOTOSPHERE CAMERA ON OUR DEVICE!!!!! SEE BELOW!!!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: It seems that the dev dotmaniac, is no longer allowing installation of the Photoshere camera app on non-Nexus devices. (Maybe he caught some flack for it?)
If you install any version prior to v8.1 (v7.2 - v8.0) the Photoshere camera installs and functions well!!!
See this page at GitHub for downloads and version change logs so you can decide which version you want to install. https://github.com/dotmaniac/famigo_gapps/releases
Enjoy!!!
I am trying to make a custom Android rom based off the Cyanogenmod ROM for the HTC desire, and I plan on putting some apps onto the prebuilt section of it. I want to add some Xposed framework modules, LMT launcher, and possibly a Metamorph skin. I can almost guarantee that I can change the skin of my ROM without metamorph, but what i basically want to do is hide these apps so users can't uninstall them or change the settings on the rom. However, I have no idea how to do this. I would be doing this on a Virtual Player Ubuntu with Rom Kitchen, if anyone knows how I can do this, please share your knowledge, I would be grateful.
Custom OxygenOS OneplusX - COSX ROM
Intro
First of, I'm not a developer. I'm just a guy who put a couple of things together. I'm a bit above noob-level, so dont excpect high end stuff like some prestigious developers. That being said, I have put this ROM together because of the lack of ROMS based on our original software for the OneplusX. Don't expect to much, the most things happen under the hood. So no shiny backgrounds or boot screens.
Disclaimer
You know the drill, flashing happens under own responsibility. I have tested everything on two devices, and will not put anything online that can possibily harm or damage our device in any way. This being said, if you need support, ask in this thread.
Open Source
The ROM i have created is for the community, which in my opinion also means it should be fully open source. You can edit everything you want. You can use it as base for whatever you like. No need to ask permission or give reference. Seeing the amount of customized original software, I would be happy to see more custom oos roms pop up. No need to put restrictions on anything. Please just don't bother me with antutu benchmark related complaints.

I think OP managed to put most of the tweaks one can do to the Stock OOS and created a zip flash package.
IIRC, I did pretty much similar things on my Stock OOS before moving over to CM13.
Good Job OP saving a lot of time for those who want to enjoy the stock experience.
Coud you post a benchmark test?

Good work :good: Might try this as I kinda liked OOS but I'm currently running Marshmallow and CM based crDroid, so also might not go back to Lollipop
Biggest issues I had with the stock OOS 2.2.0 were:
1. Camera in low light situations. I think it's fixed here with Snapdragon camera?
2. Random rebooting, sometimes few times a day, sometimes few days without. Mostly occurred when playing any game with stock ROM. Is this custom OOS more stable?
3. I could not assign Menu action to HW buttons e.g. long pressing and this led to situation where I had to install Xposed framework and some module to get Menu in Titanium Backup to change backup location to SD card. Is this fixed here with Custom Hardware keys remap?
I know I should test this ROM myself, just pointing out biggest issues I had with stock OOS.
can u include the stock camera which has manual focus, exposure and iso??? or atleast let me know can i implement the stock oos camera in ur rom cheers

Same request here. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for your work!
So proximity wake up ambient display works in this rom ?
And what type of themes are supported ? Layers or CM ?
Theme support
So OP, You have provided Layers or CM theme engine into rom?
Though Layers supported Stock OOS 2.2.0(Partially not all the themes were working) .

I said that deodexed is slower than odex rom. So that means this rom is slower than original OOS right ? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Waiting for download link...
Will give a shot today...
Is it possible to port some particular feautres of any given Rom to another Rom(say Stock android rom) keeping all the properties of the Rom remain same.
Explanation:
Let us say we need some features of a MIUI and some other features of EMUI, Is it possible to add those features from those roms to the original Stock rom or Some other Roms of the mobile.
Also Is it possible to make the Rom of some other mobile (which has similar specs that of my mobile ) to work on my mobile..
Actually I am just a noobie & newbie to the field of porting Roms, I had these doubts stuck up in my mind from long time.
Some people extract the APKs from specific ROMs (for instance, I managed to get MIUI's Ambient Doze working on a different ROM) and install them on other ROMs.
However, that isn't always the case because some mods have been built into system APKs such as the SystemUI apk.
