Hi, I don't think XDA likes these kind of threads so it might get deleted.
For more quick links you can install CHT:

It's impossible to say which ROM is the best, I'm using CleanEX UniQ for speed and lots of free internal storage so I can install what I want.
it's a very nice ROM, is it stable?
The best way to find the best Rom that suits you is to flash a couple and try them out!
All roms are different yet stable, i use personally Energy rom with Dinik Glass, but i also like Miri and Diniks roms.
Like i said, just try em out till you find one to suit your needs. You cant go wrong!

Do you know if there a way to backup the current ROM just in case?
Thread moved to Q&A.
There are enough cooked ROMs out, you should find their own, just flash one and try it out every cook spends a lot of time on the development. So go ahead and try a couple of them. Personally I tried out about 4 different ROMs and stuck by Artemis. Good luck
Hi guys,
Is it possible, enjoying it on my girlfriends HD2, would be nice to see it, on my Galaxy 5...
Thanks
+1. I've been having a lot of trouble finding custom roms that will run on g5.
wasnt sure if the original post was asking about custom roms, but there are lots of them about for the G5...

I´m asking for MIUI, got CM7, like it a lot, works fine for me, but would like to see miui ...
Hey!
A while ago I got the idea of learning how to cook roms.. I made some research on it and I found some helpful stuff on xda. Well, I tried but quiet didn't understand and manage to be successful in doing what was told there..
I've read lots of stuff like "The hardest part of developing roms is getting started". So I guess this is the part where I need the most help
Whatever, the reason why I opened this thread is that I wanna hear some developers. Their ideas on developing; How to get started, their short story on how they started developing...
Basically I wanna learn where/how to start from those people who experienced and managed to become a developer..
I mean, I wanna know your stories as I really think they will help me, they will be examples to me...
Well, not only me, to anyone who reads them.. I'm hoping that this thread will help other newbies like me...
Thanks!
My first android phone was the g1, didn't install CM until the myTouch on t-mobile. I started writing scripts for android phones. Little ones, like LCD Density script or apk removal. Then worked on a theme. Didn't really go anywhere. Fixed a bug for Salvagemod for the Evo, then started working on SalvageMod. Evo needed a kernel after support was said and done, I figured out how to compile it, looking at other commits, I was able to make changes successfully to the Freedom Kernel for the Evo. Then decided that I wanted to work on some gui application. Cmcompiler came about.
While there are many many more details from start to finish. Point is really, that no one is going to teach this to you. You have to want to learn, and you simply have to do it. Its hard work. I have spent hours and hours of messing with things to get them to work correctly. Trial and error is a great way to learn android. Sadly "Android" isn't the only thing you have to learn when it comes to development. You need to learn the tools that come with the development, like packaging or install script if you have a local gui application, or git/svn/bzr for version control systems. Most importantly, you need to have fun learning. If you are not having fun. Quit.
I do not feel attracted when you ask devs to answer, but still.
I started with XDAs kitchen.
No development ofcourse, but a good place to start.
I felt XDA kitchen was not enough, so I started to learn BASH - the scripting language in wich Kitchen is written.
I started with opening the "menu" file out of the kitchen.
After a while, I neede batch-resize, as I wanted to become a themer.
I made it together with my dad.
After I saw that some themes contain more items then another, I made CopyFrom.
AndroidCentral was my next idea - a combination of all home-made tools.
Just like lithid, I felt a GUI was needed.
But I started to work on it for cross-platform usage.
Conclusion: writing scripts is a good way to start. Google is my best friend, as I am new to scripting also.
Good luck

To echo the sentiments of the two previous posts by lithid and mdroid, I also started by writing simple scripts and small projects. Android Utility was my start up project.
My first real projects involved Rosie (HTC Sense launcher) and theming it. Then it become modding the apk to do other things (remapped, 4x5, 5 column app drawer, transparency, etc). The process of learning how to theme and mod one apk really helps you learn.
My recommendation is to pick one particular aspect of your device/Rom and learn as much as you can about it. You will find quickly that by doing so you inevitably have to learn how to use the Android tools, scripting, BASIC programming fundamentals, and a general idea of how everything works.
And yes, Google is your friend. Also stackoverflow

After creating this thread and reading the opinions of developers I followed this tut and tried this kitchen.. Helps in modifying a ROM.
And as I already had Cygwin installed using the way shown in the above tutorial I tried this tool for modifying the boot.img..
And if you want to modify apps you can give a shot to this tool...
These tools are basically really easy to use and efficient. Especially for a newbie like me.
oh, and these words of cyanogen would be really helpful..
start developing is not easy...but if you really want it and can dedicatebtime and patience all will just be fine... it's not recommended that u try to do all at first...maybe just a mod can be ok for you or anyone starting here...try modding a rom,changing stuff,adding tweaka and playing with build.prop as well...then if all goes right u can think on modding more stuff like apjs,themes,including simo comex apks...those who needs extra settings,etc... you'll gain xperience as long as time goes on and will fibd lot of interesting stuff u'd like to invlude on builds...so don't rush...good roms need time and patience

Thanks! when I read your ideas, telling me to play around with a rom and all that. I feel that Im really lucky. I've already been playing around with the ROMs I've used so far.. like editing build.prop, basic theming, editing apks, I once edited framework-res.apk to enable the navigation bar, etc...
Yesterday I tried porting MIUIv4 on the cm9 for for my device following some tuts on xda.. I did everything right, but no luck I get stuck in boot logo... Whatever I'll not give up!
I'm planning to study those kitchen stuff more for now, I'll give a shot to the tutorial mentioned on the portal today..
Whats your device?
My next plan to modding a ROM. I read also the MIUI porting thread, that's not hard. A long time ago, with my previously phone, the Xperia X8 (miss you...), i tuned up the stock ROM and modified a cooked ROM for myself - without XDA. I registered after here.

LG GT-540 optimus
I know. Its really easy. Plus I tried to port MIUI by mikegapinski on cm9 by miroslav_mm.. both roms are developed for GT-540.. I do everything right but I get stuck...
I don't what to mod, I mean I don't have any ideas... so Ill try porting MIUI
Hey bro. My advice? Do some heavy softmodding first (Take lets say tejas rom and add themes, adjust framework, add tweaks, add custom animations.custom this custom that basically add what you think is nice and yeah after long you will get more and more weird ideas )
Hi people
I have just bought a new phone, and selected S3. I've had Desire with MIUI and also the MI-One phone with MIUI. It is therefore no surprise that I am missing the versatile MIUI system on my S3. However S3 also has some good features, and I just can't decide wether I shall root the phone to get MIUI or leave it with stock rom. I would highly appreciate if someone with experience of S3 and MIUI would be so kind to share it with me.
- Why did you change to MIUI?
- What are the key benefits of changing? (better battery etc)
- How does S3 work with MIUI? (errors etc)
Perhaps there are some who changed to MIUI, but then have changed back to stock because something didn't work or some features of stock was missed on MIUI. Please also share this.
PS: If it is already started a thread with this question I am sorry. I haven't found one.
Looking forward to read your feedback!
*bump*
MIUI is a bag of balls. iphone wannabe. all the apps all over your screen. no dedicated section to store your apps. stick to stock
Bumping is banned .
Asking whats the benefits of this rom or that rom is also banned .

Hi
I'm sorry if I did something that is banned, and I don't think you understood my question. I have been using MIUI for almost two years, and I am quite aware of how it works. I tested many different ROM when I had Desire, as I thought the Sense was not good at the time. MIUI was the one I really felt for, because of its many adjustable things.
Now I have a brand new S3 and I just can't get used to the ROM that is on this. I have installed the MIUI launcher, and are happy with that. What I would like to hear is from people that have been using MIUI on S3, and get their feedback. And this means also positive and negative experiences. For some people MIUI will work great, and for some others it won't. I am aware of that, but it is so I can make up my mind if I wan't to root my S3 and install MIUI or just don't bother.
Some things that can be positive is better battery, better use of ram etc. Just can't see how this should be banned to ask for?
I recently learned how to add custom roms to my lgog. So far i havent run into problems. I still feel like i am "winging" a lot of the time but still never bricked my phone. Its hard for me to get the hang of all the terms and acronyms. I have tried a few different roms (slickrom, snowjb, cm10.1, vanilla rootbox, ChaOS) and im trying to find something stable that suits my needs. With that said...
I just wondering if there is going to be a miui v5 port soon or ever? i am currently using ChaOS but it dosent seem to run as smooth as i expected, coming from cm10.1. i am also running into theming problems (ex. .mtz, .ctz files). i get overwhelmed easily when it comes to scripts and coding etc.
As you can tell i am i n00b, maybe someone can point me in the right direction for user friendly roms that favor theming like chameleon.
many thanks.
sorry if i posted in the wrong section
