[ROM] Howto add styles and features to custom ROM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm new to android development and I've got a question: I'd like to add some enhancements to my ROM that are availble in other custom ROMs like circle battery icon for example. How do I do that, i.e. extracting the battery style from a custom ROM and addin it to another? I've read several threads but I'm still confused so I'd apprechiate any help/hint.
Thx a bunch in advance =)

[Q] Rom Manager Rom List looks incomplete?

hello there,
i installed Clockword Mod because i wanted to know if it is just as good as the people are talking (managing different Roms) but all Roms that i can see are the 2 CyanogenMod Builds (nighties and Stable)
then Extras
meLianTQ (where nothing is inside)
and the Google Apps
is this really the whole list? Or do i need to change something? Like a sources.list?

That's the whole list AFAIK.
Developers have to ask to get their ROM included in the list.

[CONCEPT] universal stock rom

hey i have a concept rolling in my mind
and i wanna share it maybe a developer likes the idea
what is the concept?
the concept is about a clean stock rom, with no tweaks, custom kernels
just clean
and supports multi languages
what is in this rom?
a customized theme
customized i cons
power menu
transparent menu
ext4 format
what is not included ?
all apps that aren't needed
so create a flashable zip to flash the apps
okay? what new?
here is the secret..
since we are not ios or wp owners, and google hasn't solved the problem with multiple basebands
like ddq7,kpo,kpn,etc..
it is gonna be a universal
since it supports almost all languages
the developers of themes or system addons " i don't know what you say about it"
they won't develop multi apps, custom themes for one rom
and the users won't suffer of not finding what they like for the roms that supporting their language
so our ace will be richer
so know here are the headlines
lets say the rom is based on kpn
samsung kernel
we will have
RTL support.zip
Latin languages.zip
and all languages.zip
--------
then themes
so maybe the stock will look like cm7
but it is pure
---------------
that what i was thinking
iam not a developer and i hate codes " JAAVA"
so any one wanna do this
he is wilcome
i don't wanna credits
just let's make our ACE rocks

Thread Moved​
We have been over this safariking. As suggested by your fellow users, its best to make a CWM update for your themes and tweaks, there is no need to release a whole new rom based around CM9. It just creates a wash of slightly updated ROMs which just confuses new users. As i have told you numerous times, if you are unsure contact me first! Dont walk down the same path as before, think before you act!​
Can you share some pictures please?

[GUIDE]Making a good rom thread

Are you learning about rom development?
You have made a your own rom and want to share it?
Its your first rom thread?
Yes?!?!
Then this is right guide for you which will help you make a good, clean, nice looking rom thread ​
ROM TITLE:
-- your rom should have simple name
-- in rom title only use [ROM][BASE][SUPPORTED DEVICES]--TITLE[LOCKED/UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER][LATESTUPDATE]
-- in base i mean ICS, GB, JB, AOKP, PA, AOSP, CM7, CM9, CM10
-- dont add any other words in title for example: extreme battery durance, smooth as hell and such
ROM THREAD:
-- mention rom base, and for what you have made this rom (xperia looks, speed, battery, stability and such)
-- make sure that you list every change that is made in rom. It doesnt matter if you had made it or the original developer from who you took base rom. But make sure to give credits
-- dont forget changelog once you update rom
-- screenshots are important.
-- if you want you can mention which apps you deleted and upload them for others so they can install them
-- if there are any bug fixes you posted later dont forget to post it in #1,2,3 post
-- use different size (and color if you want) for title of section (changelog, features , download) and other size for text of it
EXAMPLES:
-- here is one of my rom threads. Im not saying its best rom thread (it isnt for sure) but it will give you an good example.
Check this
-- you can find manny other great rom threads in bigger forums like galaxy s 3, htc one x and such

Can we port some features of one Rom to other Rom

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.
