Hi boy,
I want to create my own custom rom (for nexus 4),nothing complicated (for now ).
Here there are a lot of big developers that i I respect a lot and for this i want to ask you the process I have to do or guides that I follow.
In this week I've find a lot of tutorial but i don't know if they are compatible with lollipop and the tests I've done have all gone wrong.
If one of you show me a guide to follow, it would follow having at least make sure to get the results and did not waste time to have followed a guide incompatible or old.
I know C#, java and C but i can study other languages.
I apologize if you find this post trivial, is that I really want to learn but i'm only 17 years old and it is not easy to understand English.
I rely on you, thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Hello everybody,
I recently posted a topic about the need of a step by step guide in relation to upgrades of XDA's or other subjects but, they had to be in an understandable, easy to follow English for the less gifted amongst us. With this I mean the non pure computer language specialists.
Well, with thanks to PDAMobiz.com I found a very useful guide made by Caustic. I used it and it worked perfect to change from a German 1.72GER to the 1.72.81WWE with Blackberry. It can also be used to upgrade to WM2003SE as stated in this guide.
It is a fairly simple procedure, you only have to replace one file with another one as described. You will need WinRar or some program of this nature.
Again, I want to warn all users that it worked perfectly for me but using this information is of course, at your own risk.
All info can be found here. http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=143&KW=Caustic
I hope some of you can benefit from this.
If you have any comments or more step by step guides to offer, please do reply to this topic.
Greetings
I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum, but i'm posting here because i think i am in the right place.. If not mods please move this to appropriate forum..
So I'm on the nexus s 4g and i'm feeling like i'm ready to get into porting and then development.. I really just need help understanding eclipse and how to port in general.. I know eclipse is great for developement and I just installed the adt and the sdks through eclipse and I need to know how to set this up so I can run a logcat through adb so I can see why my port isn't fully booting.. I'm stuck at the boot animation.. I've tried reading some guides but because i'm still a noob i feel like there's always something i'm missing.. I was hoping someone here would be so kind as to help run me through on getting this set up and helping me understand the fundementals..
there are many that know more than me, but i can try to help a little bit...
first off, im going to assume you are porting roms, not apps, because of how you have things worded i was a bit confused at first.
now, eclipse is an amazing IDE, but when it comes to porting android roms from device to device its not going to be much (if any at all) help to you. eclipse is great for application development, and building a full, ready to install android package (apk) for pushing to the market or side-loaded. (installed on data partition)
there dont tend to be many guides or strait line ways do do things. it all comes out of experience and good problem solving skills. learn to read your logcats, understand what they are saying. you will get it!
im more of a source built kind-of-guy, and never did any porting of pre-compiled roms. but i know http://freeyourandroid.com/ is a great resource for getting started with just that.
please also think about looking into the android build system, its complicated, but you will get it eventually, and it will teach you how a rom really works, and is really built, and it gives you complete control to do anything you want.
hope this was a little help.

the only reason i was setting up eclipse for this was because it was to my understanding it had the tools needed to get adb to produce a logcat, i've delt with apps before.. I made myself a lil launcher for miui and a couple others, but i just have no idea on how to do anything with adb and gettings log cats.. I do appreciate your response and i will take a look at that website.

Hi Chris my name is Andrew and i might be able to give you some basic info and guidelines. First i would suggest using a ROM kitchen for basic ROM modding. I would recommend using Dsixda's ROM kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 .When you feel confident that you can get on tothe more complex stuff you can check my tutorial about compiling from source code http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667551 .After you get over that then the Internet should become your mentor in advanced source code editing (most of the time anyway but you shouldn't feel shy about asking something if unclear)
Hello, i wanted to learn more about developing android ROMs, Porting to other android versions, porting Firefox OS maybe. So i Bought a very cheap chinese tablet which cost $50, and i want to start meddling with it in some experiences.. i just needed some directions where to go..
First i wanted to know how to make a dump of my current android so i can restore it in case i need.
I already rooted the tablet, it is running android 4.0.4.
then i want to start trying to port it to Jelly Bean. i know i need some drivers but just getting a booting version will do for me. i looked at the Android AOSP about build instructions, but there was only instructions how to build for nexus devices, not an "generic build" i can build upon.
I looked at other site that gave me different instructions but i believe that they are for porting roms other than compiling from source.
Any light on this path is appreciated, thanks
There is no need to make such useless threads directly search xda and read and learn there are dozens of threads stating the tut.
Or directly go to chefs centrel
Rather than creating mess.
Hope u understand.

Can anyone please provide a proper, elaborate guide for compiling roms for miatoll tree? Have time in lockdown and eager to learn the process.
The guides on google are way too generic or backdated. I guess it'll help many people like me if some DEVS took the time to write a guide which shall in turn, in my opinion promote more development.
Come on,some devs got to give something... I know I'm not the only one looking for this.....

Do you think following a "guide for compiling roms" enough to compile roms after roms... it's not so easy. I'm not developer, only was curious to try to build roms for my phone. All information you can find on the internet, just need to search.
If you really want to start and learn, first step is to prepare your PC to android build, ex.:
