I am currently working on a ROM and was hoping a Dev or two could help to point my n00bish programming skills in the right direction. It is built off of CyanogenMod RC3 and I am currently trying to get it out for testing.
For all of you who think I shouldn't try to do this, shut up and go away. I want to do this, and it is my choice as to whether or not I do this.
This will be my first ROM, and I need someone to do this with me. So who will help?
If you need to I can send you the zip.
Thank you to those that do help!

What?
You really didn't ask any specific questions. I'm sure you can get some answers, but no one is going to walk you through the process - there is Google Search to find walk-throughs and tutorials.
Be specific as to what you need assistance with.
(Plus... telling others to "shut up and go away" probably won't have people lining up to help...)

I need a bit of help with the manifest, switching out the kernel, and the default IME.

Hello all, I am running madoco desire, and wondering if I will get the froyo update or will I have to download and install it? I am assuming it will clear my rom and all my apps right. Now if i reinstall the rom will it negate the new update? or just not work? I have used search, and read about 1000 threads. Thanks so much.
Did you know there is a QUESTION & Answer section in the forums?
Get used to the noob posts guys. We will be seeing them all week. I suggest just ignoring the thread. A mod will move it for you.

The update will only come to users of stock 2.1. It will in no way shape or form be compatible with desire rom.
How sad for the community...
What a bunch of @@%@%%@@
OK yes I do know there is a q&a section, I have read and searched in there. Not very clear answers though. If it is such a bother to help someone, then how about not being on this site! I am sure all of you at one time or another were starting out. I read this forum daily, have its app, and keep up to date for the most part. I just wast completely sure of one thing. I support a few of the DEVS on here with contributions when I can, I am just glad it isn't one of you!

Hi and welcome to xda!
First thing's first: Are you rooted yet? You will be limited in what you can do until you root.
Here is a step by step guide to rooting 2.1.
Here is the board with all of the Hero ROM's.
It may appear daunting at first, but it's fairly straight-forward and easy to do. Just follow the directions exactly. Also, I believe there is a one-click root app around here somewhere called Androot, I believe, but I'm not sure how well it works, as I didn't use it to root. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

user7618 Thank YOU very much for the information, I greatly appreciate the help!
t12icky0, No need to be rude, it was just a question.
I am looking to learn to develop for this phone. After so many people have left we are in desperate need.
I have experience coding on PC and light experience on WINMO 6....
I am reaching out to the community for resources on how to learn to develop for the Vivid. Any Direction will be appreciated.
I would also be willing to learn to develop for this phone. I'm a computer science student at MIT and have coding experience, but have not done anything related to Android so I'm not sure where to begin.

You can try this kitchen. It kind of works if you start from custom Rom as base.
At least gives you idea of what you have to do. You can than develop more depending on how good ur Unix or scripting skil are

WARNING: If your HTC device is not listed below, and it does NOT use a 'YAFFS'-based filesystem (e.g. usually the mid-range and high-end devices don't use YAFFS), do not attempt to flash a ROM that you built with this kitchen. Instead, you must do the following if your device is NOT listed:
Create a file under the kitchen's /tools/edify_defs folder, with the name being the same as the value of ro.product.device (found in your device's /system/build.prop file).
See the template file in the edify_defs folder to see how to set the mount points inside the file you created. Look at the other files in that folder for examples on how to do it.

Since the Vivid is not listed as one of the compatible devices, do we need to do this? I saw the Rezound on there is why I am asking
I too am going to give it a stab. I have experience working with Cyanogenmod as well as a ton of C/C++/Unix/Scripting/Driver experience. Lets see what we can make.
I used it and there is nothing device specific stuff that should matter

No dont grab some one elses...incorrect....Grab the kitchen from dsixda grab an ruu run it till it opens to first screen dont install or go any further...goto search,search your c drive for rom.zip....copy this file to somewhere else on your computer and your started....

I would appreciate any suggestions for resources too. I have not programmed in many years but I figure, what the hell, might as well give it a go.

True platform development resources are slim right now...

At the bare minimum do what WC said but I don't recommend you use someone else's custom ROM as your base for a multitude of reasons. If for no other reason, you'll inherit any flaws they may have unknowingly introduced and you won't understand the changes they implemented to make the improvements they made.
I'm a little rusty, but my team and I develop on the HTC Dream/Magic. I own about 6 devices right now and just gave away 3 others to a developer on my team. It's kind of funny, even though I've owned all these devices, I've never really developed on any of them since there's always so many other people already doing so.
But since everyone left and there's no competition right now, I think I might start developing again, I just need to know what you guys want and I'll see what I can do.

I'd love to see some new guys giving it a try. I wish I could invest the time and had the knowledge to do it myself.
I think most are just looking for a good solid ICS rom, with Tethering working... anything else would pretty much be a bonus. I think "MOST" would be appreciative of pretty much anything at this point

He was making a point to not use someone's custom rom
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
If that's the case, than from my experience it is a bit harder for someone with no knowledge to start with stock ROM. Out of the box the kitchen did not work very well with any stock ROM. It was easier to tweak a custom rom because the DEV had fixed the issues which I don't know if every one can solve. e.g some may just struggle to get system.img to work in this kitchen , again that can be trivial for some to fix and some noob's may find it hard.

It's all trial and error my friend. Later tonight when class is over I'll try to create a rom from the Telstra 3.5 RUU. I tried the ICS stock rom, but I wasn't able to deodex about 50 or so files. Hopefully this time around the process will go smoother.

Thats not learning then,thats taking someone elses work,start as everyone else did,everything is out there to be [email protected] all have to learn somehow,but the way your saying isnt the correct way to learn...its called kanging,then tweaking something here and there and calling it your own creation....truely learn something and start from scratch,we all did,so why would you expect it should be easier for you?

As far as resources go, download the kitchen, and DO NOT use it, rather analyze how it works. Look over the scripts and see why it does what it does, if you don't understand something, google it.
That'll help some of the beginners here.

I wouldn't consider that development and the OP asked for development advice. My previous post provides ample information to "do it the right way", team that with extracting your source from RUUs and you've just become a real dev. You will possess the necessary knowledge and tools to create your own ROM.
Then after you create your ROM if you still have problems that another dev has resolved you can respectfully contact that dev for guidance on what they did to resolve it.
That's the way I would want someone to use my work anyway.

Use the aforementioned kitchen to extract "stock" carrier base ROMS if you choose not to build from source.
Hey people! I've recently rooted my LG and I need someone to explain these wierd words for me and what they are used for (such as kernel, ROM etc.) I know a bit what a ROM is but how do I install them?

You joined XDA 4 days ago and you have already created three threads to ask very basic questions. XDA is not a helpdesk for noobs - you will get help with genuine problems, but you need to either use the search function on XDA, read and learn or use Google for the basics. Everything you need to know is already out there, please don't expect people to constantly repost the same information over and over just because you are too lazy to put the effort in yourself.

Well you're right bout' that dude. I'll find information by myself from now on, thanks for telling me :good:
Hello
Im on latest cm11 (i used partition table tool-optimal) and I have about 400+mb of free memory on my intrernal sdcard.
However, I can't install new apps (not from store nor from file manager), it says i dont have enough of space.
What can i do with it?
Thanks
Try run ng cm cleaner, I had a similar issue where when flashing from stock my cache didn't get wiped for some reason and took up all my memory, ran cm cleaner and cleared out the cache giving my memory back, also just check the files saved in storage, ROMs and backups can take a lot of memery, best to save them on the sdcard.

Thanks, but I have enough of free space everywhere, still cant install anything.
Can anybody competent help me?
Should i get some logs?
Your welcome but sorry misread your og post, not to experienced with partition tool, never used it.
Other wise, there was no need for the insult, if your more re competent than me, than you should be able to figure that out for your self.
Some one else on here should be able to help you.

Statements like this are considered abusive and ARE NOT condoned here at XDA-Developers.
Now, you've done something that is not a standard practice to do, and that's repartitioning your device. This is extremely risky and honestly more than likely the culprit of your current dilemma.
Did you just install CM11? If so, did you follow the installation instructions in the OP? And a thousand more questions that I could ask in an attempt to help you out of your situation. Always include as much information as possible when asking questions like this.

You've been warned once already. Now you're going to insult yet someone else who is trying to help you.
@ olionephanko this forum is operated by volunteers... Being rude means no one will bother to help you...
Another non-competent post with redundant info.
Keep your OT for yourself.
Closing this thread.
Let's all remember to treat each other with a little respect and decency and not call people who try to help us incompetent, lest no one wants to help in the future..
