[Q] How is custom Rom created ?

I want to create my own custom rom. Can someone please tell me how flashable rom zip file is created ? Is it possible to convert cwm backup files into flashable zip file ? Theres kitchen for galaxy ace and s ii. I searched kitchen for note but found nothing.

I too am interested in building Custom ROM
i was able to edit add remove files in compiled zip without removing signatures etc.
BUT i need a guide or something like it to learn it perfectly
Plz if any1 is reading this HELP US OUT

The way I do it is take a stock rom and open it using android kitchen. Then I take the applications and use different programs like paint etc to make it my own. Then I repackage the rom and flash it. You can also download different launchers and dialer and apps like that and put those in the rom.

Thanks a lot. Finally made my own rom 'Noob Rom'.
I do not think I would share it in dev section. Its just stock LC1 rom with most of the 'useful' stuff removed and some build.prop tweaks copied from Cassie's XtraLiteRom. And patched with PDroid

[mod][BETA][PATCH] ROM_PATCH V1.2 for ics- full freedom -

I can continue the project if i get proper feedback from you
thanks a lot to amarullz for providing aroma installer, and thanks to nightshack0 I have taken his installer and modded to work for this patch
had you ever feel that another galaxy s variant's forum have a ics rom which suits all your need but you cannot flash it because it is not yet ported to your device but now all this will not happen again with this patch you can install which ROM you want to flash there will be no boundation for you.
this patch will let you flash other I9000 or t959 roms I have not tried it on other variant but you can try and let me know if it works, I have tried to flash a nexus s rom and it was not flashing so just flash and let me know there is no harm no soft brick no hard brick just physical button will not work until you flash this patch or another rom

* AROMA compatible v1.1:- http://bit.ly/JpHy83 (41mb)
* VIBRANT patch:- http://db.tt/j3ZIdudZ (12mb)

PROS:- 1.flash which ics rom you want
2. new world with more rom have been revealed
3. rom chefs work have been reduced because now they do not need to port their rom.
4. small size just 12mb
5. TWRP kernel is pre bundled thanks to KRARVIND
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
CONS:- 1. you cannot get the build properties(build.prop) of the rom you are flashing instead you will get the build property which will not be related to any ics rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the patch do not contains any file which can cause a bug and patch will only work on ics roms not gb
For further clarification read FAQ on second post
if you are getting status 7 or getprop error then a little work from your side is needed
extract the rom to a folder then go to /extracted folder/META - INF/com/Google/Android from there open updater-script and remove all getprop lines
come back to META - INF folder and delete all three files
zip the file and flash it in recovery
NOTE:- to edit updater script use jota text editor(android), notepad (windows)

Click to collapse
update:- flashed fascinate rom by editing updater script and without resigning got it booted up but it cleared my efs folder so was not getting any network coverage, I got very depressed tried cleared data restore nandroid but nothing works then I thought about efs and with the backup I copy imei files to efs folder and after reboot I got coverage now I will not flash any fascinate rom just for testing but I can say that fascinate rom are working

beta tester requesting you to try this patch please do that

is this just for I9000 roms or can we use others? is so which ones?

this looks promising, im guessing this is just for ICS ROMS on I9000 since the title says "for ics"
Does this apply to ALL ICS ROMS in I9000 or are there specific ones?

Well technically vibrant can flash i9000 roms with some minor issues like key mapping, sound path and gps.
This patch seems to take care of it (in a convenient way) and since ICS kernels seem to play nice it should work for all ICS roms.

Did it just say like Installation Aborted in the Recovery? Or what else happened?
Did you make sure its not a bad download.
Get the .zip on PC and open it with winRAR, if its corrupted/bad download it'll give you errors, if it says nothing, its good and the patch probably needs working on.
Thats really weird too, it should've just flashed right on and even if the patch didn't work, it should've booted up and the capac. buttons would've been flipped etc. no signal (kernel) those would've been issues that are known.

This is amazing documentation.

I can't check the download as I have already deleted it, but I did check that it was a full download. Usually if it is a bad download, it will not be the correct mb size. And I forget exactly what it said when it failed...sorry. Has anyone else tried?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA

sorry but it is not the fault of patch if the rom is not flashing
the patch will just install a working kernel and keylayout files and some minor tid-bits
did you install the rom with twrp kernel which is in the patch and also patch should be flashed again after flashing the rom

I did flash the patch first. Rebooted into recovery and then tried flashing the ROM. No go. ROM flash failed. Why hasn't anyone else tried this patch? Sheesh...scaredy cats? I'm surprised I'm the only one so far...

Haha but results may come later today.

Going to test on Infinitum 2.2
I'll update as soon as it boots up (hopefully).

I got a Status 7 error
Seems like you can't flash something I9000 on a T959 recovery?

Finally works, i fix it following the next guide
Encountering installation issues ?
Do the following to fix most errors you might get on some devices :
Open the zip of the rom you are running with winrar or 7zip or whatever (the .zip file that you flash in recovery)
Inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android
Extract the file called "update-binary" and rename it to "update-binary-installer" then close your rom's zip
Open Pimp my Rom's zip (i.e : PIMP_MY_ROM-v1.5.3-by-Androguide.fr.zip)
Do not unzip it, inside this zip, navigate to : META-INF/com/google/android and delete "updater-binary-installer"
Now copy the "update-binary-installer" file you extracted & renamed from your rom to Pimp My Rom's zip (still in META-INF/com/google/android). Simply drag and drop it into PmR's zip to add it.
Close the zip and flash it

And faster installing ROM, I've flashed CM10 in hmmm 20 sec ?! idk but faster than with CWM5. And it let you install zip via ADB(still untested) I'm going to test it now.
PS>
The recovery builder is now building version 6 of the recovery. The main changes are as follows:
Backups are much faster. 4-5x faster. (Bug fix due to excessive status updates of the UI and new backup technique)
Incremental backups are smaller. Way way smaller. Only 15-20MB each for each additional backup of a ROM. This is done using a new tool I wrote to dedupe the files between incremental backups to eliminate duplicates.

Haven't run into it yet.
For the installation over sideload, I confirm IT WORKS. Thank you TheWhisp
You just setup the android SDK, install ADB tools, download your favourite ROM (currently mine is CM10 xD) and install it over ADB.
What does Install update via sideload do?!
You don't have to put your rom or flashing .zip file in your phone or SD card.
If you have it in your downloads folder (in linux) you just connect your phone to sideload on CWM6 and write in terminal (on your PC)
"adb sideload <.zip_file_path>" and you have it
Example. You have update.zip file in your downloads folder, so you write
adb sideload ~/Downloads/update.zip
So yah, i tried it, and as I said, it works falwlessly
PS. There are like NO bugs so I think this is going to be released tomorrow or so. Let's see what TheWhisp thinks

Re: [DEV] ClockWorkMod 6.0.2.8 - coming soon

It's compatible with all .zip files I have tried yet. It doesn't matter which zip file you try, it should work as long as the zip file worked in the previous CWM5.

cant wait for it...now its free from cwm loop .

Great news!!!! I'm very happy! Fast backup and fast restore!!! Ohh yeah! Thanks Whisp!

our beloved dev thewhisp really makes the Galaxy Mini 2 alive..
CM10+CWM really good.

and again... Ace Plus users ask me for help, I fix their kernel, they use my Mini 2 config, rename every jena to trebon and can't include me in the credits. Hate people like that. :/
