Any links to any programs or tutorials would be great, thanks.

[Q] Really Easy Kitchen

Hello,
Do we have a really easy kitchen that some one like me (new for cooking roms) can use to remove or add new application from any stock rom for Topaz/TD2?
So what I am looking for is:
- A Clean / GUI based Kitchen where I can select the Original ROM (.nbh file)
- It will list the features/apps inside this
- Allow Remove/Add
- Rebuild
Thanks.
I'm looking for the same,a simple tool.
Yeah, that would be great. To make a ROM that fits YOUR needs.
Started Work
After some reading in forums I started with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669414 link and using osKitchne as my start point, which looks easy till now.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For me or any beginner (used to windows applications) the osKitchen should be very easy as it has simple import and UI to do changes.
I know I am stuck with several area while using the kitchen... but that need learning and I am doing that now .
Thanks.

[Q]Are developers creating Custom Rom by using creator like custom Rom creator?

1. Is it possible making program or something boot loader(?) to show the dialog to check custom Rom between A Rom and B Rom and after that we can load Rom which is running this time...?
- I heard about that there is a something to support this function..
- But what I wanna ask , Do you guys think about three people who are going to University can make this program within 3months.
2. Is there a limit to modify text, Icon size , change color, etc..?
- Any kind of limit to make a Rom..
3. <<Important thing >> what the differences are between making Rom using auto make Rom program like Custom Rom Creator Sutdio and the other way just changing source..?
- I think second way is really difficult but first one is that there aren't not many choices to make our Rom , also I don't think optimizing performance is possible.
- So what I wanna know, how do most of developer make the MIUI or CM7 something like any personal or group Custom Rom?
PS. And I wanna make dual boot loader or Custom Rom for old people..
So I'm asking zoom -in , out something like that ~

[Q] Rom porting - where to begin?

Hello XDA community!
I'm interested in rom porting / developing, but don't know where to begin, and how. I have some C, C++ and Java knowledge (cause I learned to be a software designer and developer), and got some free time, so I want to help in rom developments, if I can. (for example to get Optimus Net rom woriking on our Optimus One)
Could someone give an advice, where to begin to learn these things?
Thank you for every help! And keep up the good work, developers!
Just some suggested ports
-oxygen
-AOSP
-sense
-miui
do you want to develop or customize? these are different things.
for porting a binary compiled rom, you need most knowledge in decompiling code.
for porting real source code, you need most knowledge of C/C++ and JAVA and hardware.
for the first steps, use a ready and running rom and theme it something.
if you want to do really more and have dreams what to do - start developing on
source code - use direct source code from AOSP, CM7 or CodeAurora. Here you need to read
about how the compile process is working, if you have a working and booting rom you can modify
all the software you have or write new
Take a base ROM from another phone. First thing, delete the boot.img. That boot.img contains the kernel, which will not do good to your phone. Next, add the boot.img from your phone to this rom (use commom sense, if you are porting a vanilla rom, use an AOSP kernel, if porting sense, use HTC kernels, if you are porting other UI’s like blur, use an AOSP kernel.) Next, go into the /system folder. In here, we want to first delete the usr folder. The usr folder has hard button and keypad drivers. Replace the usr folder with the one from your phone. Next, go into the etc folder. delete the vold.fstab andapns-conf.xml and replace with the one from your phone. Next, we want to go into the lib folder. Here, we will want to replace the lights.(device name here) (and the sensors.name if it is an AOSP port) and replace with files from your phone

Rom-making the begining

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

How to theme xiaomi miui/nougat roms

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? :\
