If your post has a question mark in it, you most likely need to post your thread in the Q&A Section
Click to expand...

granted, you did not use any question marks, but had you used correct punctuation, there would be.

Consider the parts of a rom you want to change. THEN look for answers or tutorials regarding those individual pieces. There is no one quide for creating a rom, but the tons of threads with tutorials for individual components that make up a rom will ultimately guide you to everything you could want to do.

i can't remember the exact name for it right now, but there was a thread about this a while back about starting to mess around with making roms. also there is a thread about unpacking and re-packing boot images which will probably some system understanding as well. I personally do not know how to go about making a rom from scratch, but i think they may have something about how to compile the source here or here. its worth a read anyways i guess.
people on here are dicks and hate to see someone wanting to learn something. like really hate it, with a passion.
being insulted from the guy that released a rom and didn't even know that it had to be signed (tested how)

Moved. Enough flaming.

It's like saying how do I build my computer from scratch. What do you really want? A how to guide that somehow already knows which type of ROM you want to cook, what you are planning to do with it, and teaches you how to use linux, java, and android all at the same time?

All wrong sectionry aside, you didn't find a thread or a guide because there isn't one.. It's something you'll kind of figure out when you're ready. It sounds like I'm being a total elitist d*ck, but I'm not. Knowing how to create a rom from scratch is a culmination of knowledge and research over a long time. If someone posted a step-by-step guide it still wouldn't tell you what you need to know.

thanks for the ACTUAL helpful comments guys i'll take a browse thru forums bit more for the stuff i wanna change\edit learn

CM7

i am trying to find CM7 rom, and I cant seem to find it. Is it short for something? Anybody has a link to CM7 ROM? please post a link as I cant seem to find it. (according to resarch around, its one of the stable and fast roms)

Yes its short for CyanogenMod7, and it can be found in developement section...
My everchanging Cappy!!!!

you have a link to it? I tried searchin "CyanogenMod7" in titles, and couldn't find the thread.

Try just searching for CyanogenMod. or you could google that with the site to search just being xda. Good luck.
Never mind, saved you the trouble: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150

Thanks for posting link, not sure how to do that using xda app ...
My everchanging Cappy!!!!

Dude, there's a sticky at the top of this subforum for CM7. If you have this trouble finding easy stuff, you better stay away from CM7 or flashing ROMs. I see a brick in your future.

if you aren't able to find the thread on your own, I ask that you please don't install this ROM as I lack faith in your expertise to even install the ROM properly, and I'd rather not hear about how it "bricked your phone" or some other such nonsense.
(a bit pessimistic, I know, but the ROM is still pre-beta and not ready for noob consumption)

better instructions please?

was wondering if mods are anyone who post roms.. can also post step by step instructions on how to install the rom, including software/programs needed to flash it. Its hard to search around the forum to download things..But if you post everyting in one thread, it would prolly avoid a lot of noob questions..

This user has already been directed to that link, and complained it was too long.
To the OP, the directions are clear cut and work. Slapshot did a fantastic job compiling all the steps.
Complaining that they are too long and creating another post to complain some more will get you no where and you're probably better off not rooting your phone until you can understand the instructions.
This was my first root, and although HTC phones are supposed to be harder to root, I accomplished it without a hitch thanks to the instructions so please be patient and take the time to read through all the posts.

If the Superguide is too hard for you, this whole thing isent for you

Honestly, if you're really gonna be this much of a baby about it, switch to a more popular phone, and head over to FreeYourAndroid.com. They have 24/7, and very easy to follow tutorials. Before you even go check for our phone, no its not on there. Hence why I said go grab a more popular phone.
As to how we lay out information here, its because its not for noobs to come and start diving into the world of android modding just like that. There is too much information, too many different (yet individually important) ways to do things, and too many different ROMs and the like coming way too fast to have it all posted in one place. General is for general knowledge things and any questions that don't involve a specific thread. Its a great place for noobs to hangout, learn the ropes, and find basic information. The Android Development forum is there for just that, Android development. So this is where all the ROMs, Mods, Root tricks, and the like go. That is an impossible amount of information to condense into one thread. Not to mention its not fair to the devs who deserve the credit for their hard work. On top of this, ROMs require different ways to be flashed properly. They have different directions, different issues, different fixes. It would be insanely stupid to consolidate information any more then we already have.
So if your gonna whine, then as I stated in the General Knowledge thread:
Don't flash ROMs, unlock your bootloader, ect.:
If you don't know what your doing, don't do it. If you don't want to take the chance, don't do it. If youre just going to whine, don't do it. Its the simplest solution to not making a mistake and staying stable.

XDA isn't for babies, and its not for noobs to start doing things straight out of nowhere. Don't get me wrong though, most of us have no issues showing you noobs the ropes. Although, if youre not going to even try and just gonna sit here whine wanting to be babied we won't care the least bit about you. So in conclusion -
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Mods pleaseclose this bs thread.
thanks

No it is not rude at all. Slapshot30 wrote a guide that was created into a sticky which explains how to root, put cwm recovery, flash a rom, etc. If you can't follow simple instructions (searching before posting) then this isn't for you.

I may have to register those and set up a redirect back to Google.com.

Chill out guys, damn, you all sound like some grumpy old men. I've been in PPC's when they had B/W screens back in the 90's and I don't get this angry when a new guy ask me some questions. We all had to start out somewhere.

People are very willing to help and most on here do but it's frustrating when someone wants something easier when he has already been directed to the post he needs in another thread before starting this one. The guide that Slapshot created is great and very easy to follow. If that guide is too difficult for you, you shouldn't be doing this stuff to your phone.

[Q] Someone, please, help me? :/

Guys, I've been trying to update my touchpad from CyanogenMod9 (4.0.4), read many things here, but I'm not able to understand which ROM I should use and how to do that. It's too many pages and hows to, and I always get lost.
I dont bother losing things there, I can just install everything again and so on.
So, could anyone with a very good spirit, tell me how I can do it? :fingers-crossed:
But, please, my brain doesn't work well with those things, I just wanted the KitKat (don't know why I fell kinda in love with the Evervolv version...)
One more thing: a couple of time ago I installed the CM9, but I think it were easier to haha.
Anyway, thanks for the time spent with a noob.

Yeah, but the thread I found (there's more than one) didn't have any written instructions, only the videos. The rootzwiki one has videos and written instructions.

Why can't you use the rootzwiki post instructions?
