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.

Hi there!
I was wondeing how to create my custom ROM using xRecovery for Xperia?
One thing I don't know how to do is to delete my google account so others have to use their own.
I could'n find any tuto arround.
Any sugestion?
Thx
You could start with modifying existing ROMs. For example:
framework-res.apk
All the apps, you can unpack the .apk's, located in /system/app/ and replace the icons.
services.jar
Much, much more.
After that, you can try making a Nexus One or Nexus S kernel from the AOSP, and if you succeed, try looking up some tutorials.
Please note that for building the AOSP source, you need a 64-bit Ubuntu (or another Linux distro) or Mac. Building on Windows is currently not supported. If you don't have a 64-bit machine, you can still build Eclair ROMs, Froyo and above is 64-bit only.
As for a custom rom, even the experienced devs have only just cracked it, sort of. You can however use the Kitchen to modify and theme an S.E rom with Zdzihu's xRecovery which is what I and others are currently doing.
I am looking to combine various UI features of different ROMS together. For example, I like how with Liquid ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920804) you can swipe left from the homescreen to access your Recent History of apps, and you can swipe right to access your Media. I want to somehow integrate that into the MIUI ROM, but I have no idea how to start. I just rooted & flashed my first ROM on my HTC Dinc yesterday, so I am very much so a beginner.
Eventually I want to create an awesome ROM that I can share with the community.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
first you should learn about cooking a rom
so you can get an idea of whats included in a rom
then you should learn how to build aosp roms
thats the best place to start.
it would be almost impossible for anybody to just jump in and start
integrating UIs.
OK thank you.
I've used dsixda's kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246) to cook my own versions of both the MIUI and Liquid ROMs, basically just moving apps from /system/apps to /data/apps just so I could have the option to uninstall them. I checked around the file system and there is a lot of stuff there, so I would really like to figure out what to look for in each directory. Do you have any resources/links for me to accelerate my learning?
Well, it might be noob in this forum section, but hey! Give me the opportunity to share what I'm thinking of:
- Pure AOSP 4.4.2 ROM
- Xposed Framework with GravityBox KK and App ops Xposed modules built-in
- ART Runtime is enabled instead of Dalvik
Well, we know that Xposed framework is anti-ART runtime and it reverts the device back to Dalvik. That's what I'm trying to get walkthroughs about:
GravityBox KK for example allows user to enable certain features in a pure AOSP ROMs like battery percentage (for example), I have a set of options (mainly found in my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49577744 and I want these options to cook it by default in an AOSP 4.4.2 ROM. Would this be possible, in such we can enable ART runtime in the meanwhile the options are pre-installed without the need to have the Xposed framework?
Also, what tools do I need to cook a custom ROM based on AOSP?
Thanks!
On XDA you can find some tutorials how to make a rom for example this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690
And of course good luck with building a custom rom,it's always nice to see some new roms on our device.
Thanks, what about scripts mods by GravityBox?
Hello, I would like to customize the phone more to my preferences and I would like to edit the systemui etc, I've tried looking for systemui, but just couldn't find it, I am using aosp extended, and when I looked for the systemui.apk in the system folder, its just not there. I used to work a bit with those things a few years back, but I don't know if its different because miui is maybe built differently or just android changed the way files are compiled or anything. Anyway, if someone could shortly explain to me how to edit miui/any custom rom system files, or give me a guide that fits miui, I would really appreciate it, thanks.
anyone pls? :\
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.
