Hi there, am a newbie to android for months, and I was thinking to start to mod things in the android rom, I've downloaded some sources from the Github, which those sources are in .java format, can anyone guide me on how to put those edited .java into my android device in order for my mod to work?
Thanks a million...

Are you real?
You want to mod things, but you don't know what is done with source code?
I think compiling is one of the first things people learn when programming...
Download Android SDK from the net and suit yourself.

get Eclipse, and the Android SDK, then put your code in eclipse and compile it.

yes i've downloaded all those needed software, and gone through the Hello Android tutorial on the net, but as i stated above, i've no idea how to put those sources that i edited back into my device, and the sources that i m saying is those where i downloaded from the github, edited, but no idea how to put back in...
You don't put sources back, you compile them to applications and change the ones in your system for the updated ones.
Look up some more tutorials on the net, or go to "generic android development" section in the forum and look there, there are some posts by people that started to learn how to develop on Android.
Hi There!
I believe that in order to load these ROMs in this thread, you need to "root" the phone, but I don't see a sticky that explains how to do it?
Also is it like with Windows Mobile phones that you need a separate radio rom to the OS ROM?
Thanks in advance for any advice?
I take it the official update for Froyo for the i9000 isn't released yet? Is this something that happens automatically over the air or you need to initiate it?
Why so sucky thread title?
What do you mean? No roms in this thread ;p
Btw most ROMs in this subforum are already rooted and while ur current ROM is overwritten (being either rooted or not) in the flashing process... Ur device becomes rooted after flashing most of them. For more detailed information go to ROM's threads.
Root is kernel-related thing, so I dont get ur point.

Hi There!
I may be using the wrong terminology, I am looking for flash proedures for the ROM's in this forum. I thought the process of applying those roms required you to root the phone before use (like hardspl for winmo roms).
I am looking for the step by step guide to applying the ROMS's listed here?
Refer to each rom's thread.
Full stock leaked firmwares come in .tar packages, flashed by Odin.
Mods and custom roms might be flashed by Odin, or update.zip method.
I believe there was some BIG FAT FAQ in this subforum?
// oh its in general : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
You forgot to read the stickies... There's this one: STOP!! Before You Post, Read This NOW!! and in that you see this:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.

Now you see the general section? If you go there you'll find this sticky: [REF] BIG FAQ! {Flash/Root HOWTO} {ADB&Tutorials} {T&T} {FW-Guide} [MUST READ!] Which has everything you need.
Thanks. To be honest it makes no sense to me to have something about flashing ROMS in the general forum, at a minimum I think it should be in both places.

[dsixda's kitchen]
This is the best kitchen I have found out. (To have rooted ROM, w/o any bloatwares, bash, de-odexing, and many more options)
You need to modify the updater-script file to a greater extent before using custom ROM developed by this kitchen, otherwise there is a possibility to brick your phone.
Though I have found out the correct parameters or changes to this and could build a custom ROM of my own. (fully functional ), but please allow me some time because creating a new thread takes a lot of time. Such that there are no loopholes and nobody should suffer any losses from the tutorial.
Since currently I have a huge office work load, I will post a tutorial soon as I had mentioned before in some other thread.

Hey Napstar! I have ported Galaxy Mini CM ROM to my Galaxy Y. I have zipped the folder after replacing Kernel and editing several files but when i try to flash it from my stock recovery I get errors like:
assert failed: write_rawimage("/temp/boot.img" ,"boot")
E:Error in /temp/sideload/package.zip
(Status7)
I think something is wrong with the MANIFEST-INF folder in zipped rom.
Can you tell me how to make a new MANIFEST-INF folder for my ROM.

[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
Here is global FAQ, when needed, for device specific things, i'll redirect to the right place, same for MiniCM's specific questions.
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
You will find more precise infos in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240Lucastan96's/sgt. meow FAQ/list (only dedicated to X8/W8!)
[SIZE=+1]Q1: Why ONE only FAQ for theses 3 (4) devices ?[/SIZE]Because theses devices have really similar hardware, and work in the same way.
x8/w8 are one device (only renamed) and is MDPI.
x10mini and minipro are LDPI the PRO has an hardware keyboard that the x10mini doesn't have. [SIZE=+1]Q2: Why is there many names for theses devices?[/SIZE]There are 3 names for each devices :
The commercial, the number, and the name used by cyanogenmod:
X8/W8 is known as e15 or Shakira
X10mini is known as e10 or Robyn
X10miniPRO is known as u20 or Mimmi [SIZE=+1]Q3: Where can i find my device specific help and informations?[/SIZE]For X8/W8 : here
There is currently no similar up-to-date thread for x10mini/pro
[SIZE=+1]Q4: How to root?[/SIZE]There are many ways, one of them for X8 are using x8toolbox, or by flashtool and with superoneclick. [SIZE=+1]Q5: What is a recovery?[/SIZE]A recovery is a small system that allows you to install roms, backup, restore, and many other things.
In order to install your first rom you will need cwm.
If you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel cwm recovery is included so you don't need to do anything,
if you can't unlock your bootloader (or don't want) that means you are on stock kernel and you have to install it. Some ways to do it is by x8toolbox (for X8) or manually.
You may have seen the name xrecovery, this is an old and outdated recovery. Most roms need cwm and not xrecovery, you can always check the installation instructions of the rom that you want to install. [SIZE=+1]Q6: How to unlock bootloader?[/SIZE]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225 [SIZE=+1]Q7: How to flash a rom?[/SIZE]Always read the installation instructions of the rom you want to flash. They might be different from a rom to another, refer to "fresh install" if want to know more. [SIZE=+1]Q8: How to revive my (soft)bricked device?[/SIZE]For X8.
For X10mini and X10miniPRO (link pending) [SIZE=+1]Q9: What is the best rom/kernel/theme/etc?[/SIZE]This is not questio should ask, backup, try and roll back [SIZE=+1]Q10: Backups, what are they?[/SIZE]Backups are something like a picture of your current state, to which you could roll back in case of install/flash/testing failure
they helps you not to lose your settings, apps,data... but may create bug if you restore /data you used with one rom after the install of one other.
More info by stamatis. [SIZE=+1]Q11: What is a "fresh install" [/SIZE]This is when you install a new rom, after having all your data/apps deleted, that means :
in ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery you did the following before installing :
formatting /cache, /data and /system
for a non-fresh install but to void some issue, you should
format /cache, /system and wipe dalvi-cache before installing a rom update (don't forget to install gapps too) [SIZE=+1]Q12: What is a baseband and its number?[/SIZE]Baseband is part of pre-software of your device, it allows you to connect to network and some other things
You can check your baseband number in settings>about phone.
In order to install a custom rom you MUST have the baseband ending with 015. If you don't have it then you can update with pccompanion, SEUS or flashtool by flashing the generic stock .ftf for 2.1 eclair. (take care you flash the correct stock rom specific to your device ) [SIZE=+1]QXXX: Where can i find MiniCM range specific FAQ threads ?[/SIZE]
Theses threads are for all the supported devices :
MiniCM7
MiniCM9
MiniCM10This FAQ will be filled up more later

@up
Probably because of the extra PMEM given to camera in CM10 (I can't tell for sure though).
And @mat
Wouldn't it be better to just merge this thread and lucastan96's other thread together and include new info? I could help with that and it would be far better than having two threads to server the same purpose. Lemme know what you think about it.

i would agree with you, but in fact his thread (and my MiniCM miniFAQs too) is extremely detailed, and hard to read for people that don't know the device or is new to the forum,
the aim of this (and all others) RC-FAQ is to be short, redirecting to where further infos are, and to be standard and looking like any other RC-FAQ for easy reading:
PG101 said:
The whole idea of consistency is that we are giving out the information in a similar way and users can expect same standards across.
Many of us keep changing phones, and users will know where to find answers if they know that the FAQs follow the same format..
Its like me when I travel overseas, when in doubt, I eat McDonalds, as good or bad the burgers maybe, I know I am getting the same thing at least
Click to expand...

editing an existing FAQ to get it in the "new recommended way" is really hard, and setting up a new one is easier
this new FAQ should look like these :
galaxy mini
Xperia play
...
Cool. So let's try this.
You keep the FAQ short, while I keep mine a bit more detailed.
Users can ask questions in my thread or yours.
Your opinion on this will be appreciated.
My thread = Lucastan96's thread because he won't be around as frequently as before.

right,
i'll write at top of the post to refer to your FAQ for more precises info, this one is not meant to be precise, just to guide users
users should better ask in your FAQ for general Q, or in the MiniCM dedicated FAQs (for Q related to theses roms)
this FAQ is not a place for people to ask (in the way the RC-FAQs have been imagined)
the aim was to create a short RC-FAQ, and that each dev make one dedicated to their own roms
I will give you some suggestions, of course my post is not a guide, i leave the writing part to you, if you want me to write full answers though im willing to do it, but i guess you want the faq to have your personal touch.

Why did you add the answers exactly from my post?
You can add this as well.I think a good place is below the "How to root".
What about recovery?
In order to install your first rom you will need cwm. If you unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel cwm recovery is included so you dont need to do anything, if you can't unlock your bootloader that means you are on stock kernel and you have to install it. Some ways to do it is by x8toolbox, manualy, by flashtool(?), by the app(?) (im not 100% sure about the last two as i have never used them but i think some users have reffered that they work)
You may have seen the the name xrecovery, this is an old and outdated recovery. Most roms need cwm and not xrecovery, you can always check the installation instructions of the rom that you want to install.

Hey folks,
I wanted to see if I could port a vanilla version of Android Marshmallow to the 626, but I first need to extract the proprietary blobs from the current ROM to produce a new version of vendor.img that will work with the vanilla source code.
I found a guide on how to do this that is specific to the HTC M8, and I was wondering if any of you more seasoned developers could tell me whether or not the procedure was the same for our phones.
I would have posted this in the developers forum, but thanks to forum rules, I can't because my post count has not exceeded some arbitrary, secret amount. (Great rule! /s)
If someone could point me in the right direction for extracting the blobs, I'll get to work on producing a Marshmallow-based ROM for our phones. (This would be my first ROM development, so any help is greatly appreciated! )
