I just started making ROMs today and I'm going to start with just modifying a ROM.
Couldn't get the Golden Elegance theme to work with anything. So it's has ADW Launcher and everything else.
Goodies added:
Hulu
Flashplayer
Wireless Tether
A Skinned "Droid Does" Swype Keyboard
Option Of ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro
I'll work on different colored themes in the near future.

What did you do to get Hulu working?
is 8GB internal storage present and is BT audio fixed? Those are keeping me away from CM6 for now...
I included the hulu.apk and the hulu flash player I got from skyraider

thx for the response and no worries, was just curious. don't pay attention to the negative comment(s).
Yo hot taco, overall pretty nice. The only thing i would suggest is to theme over all the cyan (blue) parts to make them look like vanilla (even though thats my area of expertise).
Good luck with future roms.

I agree 110%.. I've thought about trying to learn how to cook up some ROMs but if this is how i would get treated, forget it. So what if its not a "ROM". Everyone has to start somewhere. He's learning. He's obviously smarter than you at age 13 and you obviously have a problem with it. Grow up before you decided to post such nonsense.
EDIT: just to clarify, this was directed at rulevoid, not mtag. i was just agreeing with mtag, which is the reason for the quote.
Imma get the mods over here ok?? Flaming makes me MAD!
Wow. Cut the kid some slack. It's these kind of replies that are the reason some of the best rom cookers out there won't post on this forum).

wtf rulevoid, he's just a kid trying to contribute. You obviously don't have kids. And if you ever talked to my kids like that for trying to be part of a community I'd slap the crap out of you.

@OP glad ur taking interest and trying to learn to cook roms.
perhaps u should work on creating some original material and get some people to test/help u before u create a thread for a ROM...
That way nobody could complain and u could learn and put together a good ROM
Wow, sure he just used a basic kitchen to add things a lot of ppl add anyways. This isn't for me so I'm not gonna flash it, but I'm not gonna flame someone for doing this. A lot of people will find this useful. Just because its not for you doesn't mean its right to treat someone trying to contribute like this.
OP if u want some help with creating update.zip's pm me and I'll help you out.

I just wanted to say how ez it was to pose as some noob ... (samsungfan05) on IRC and get the knowledge of how to change the status bar on Generation X to the Revolution 3.6 solid black bar. All you have to do is, go into the framework.apk that is in your theme that you want to use as the base using your rar/zip program and drag n drop the images from the framework in the theme you want to take stuff out of, into res/drawable-hdpi in the base themes framework.apk ... APKs evidently open up with zip programs so i could have been doing this since i had my nexus one. hell i think i might post my dock i used and made for my iphone it was hella slicc. The whole process is really simple as hell I just wanted anyone that wondered if you can do this sort of thing (i used to decompile and customize themes like hell on iOS) in android, you can. it's not any more involved either... just drag n drop. if you can't pull that off... kill yourself.
So, no more can you port this theme threads for me, i'm just going do the **** myself... or if someone has a requests, for a generous donation, i will port it for you since I am well on the way to doing so. Peace
There is actually a lot more to it.then just editing the drawable hdpi.folder in the framework...,most of make at.minimum edits to over to.xml.files in the frameworks......and use smali/backsmali to edit the service.jars
Also why did you have to pose as someone else to get information...,everyone is more than willing to share what they know

So... the point of this post is that you want to charge people a lot of money to port themes?
Wow, that's not cool.
I also don't understand why you needed to pose as a noob to ask for advice. Are you that disliked in IRC that you won't be helped if people know its you?

There really is. I've been playing with it a bit in an attempt to port the NeonGT theme from the i9000 but there's more to it than swapping a few .png's and apparently I'm not totally getting it yet. A few more hours of learning and I think I'll have it down though.

theres not one tutorial per say (well updated one) personally i scoured xda/mydroidworld/af and bit by bit have found most of what ive needed...its kinda jumbled
Demanding a donation in return for your work IS NOT a donation..... Seems like you are not the only one to make this mistake in the Fascinate forums either *COUGH*webstar1*COUGH*

whata duche. hey everyone, im gonna charge for this open source stuff that i ripped off someone else and changed a few icons. you can get it free from, well right here on this web site, but...give me money cause im awsome.
its one thing for a dev who makes us awsome ROM's and kernels, or themes they create them selves, hey they deserve it. but to ask for a donation for something you ripped off from some one else?? duche bag.
Cleaned and closed.
I am finding that a lot of new ROMs are being posted that don't actually have any difference to other ROMs apart from some colours, and really are just themes.
I promised myself that I wouldn't write a wall of text so I've kept it short.
Is anyone else getting annoyed by this is or is it just me?
same here, at the most, some people have just applied a few tweaks which are readily available on the forums anyway
Same here.. It annoys me too.. these, um, 'devs'... I appreciate their effort, but its nothing much creative..

Wall of text. Please explain that to this guy. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18756483&postcount=3
(yes I know it's a different forum)
I would be okay with this if they clearly stated what they did instead of trying to make it seem like actual development
Sometimes I ask my self why they don't just make flashable themes instead of making their own "ROM"
They should put [COPYCAT] in front of their threads and save us a lot of trouble
That plus the ones that make a rom that I really like then decide they want to make their own forum that you have to sign up for if you want to keep up to date with the rom.
Or I hate.it when they make nice rom with their own stuff and theme it. Like wtf man no one wants a black and blue rom with a purple or green back cover. Think, man think.-________-

EXACTLY!
it would save us all the time of downloading, flashing and possibly restoring if you wiped.
I concur. If all that has changed is the theme, then just post a theme and let people choose ROMs that are actually useful.
OK you 're right 50%.
First you have to try the rom and then comment in the thread.
Yeah. I hate when they do that.

What is the point when all the features are exactly the same as every other single ROM, and they will quite obviously not have the same performance as ROMs that have recognised developers making them?

We're working on a solution! Coming soon
Confusing
For the average user it is very confusing to have so many roms out there. Not many have time to read countless thread with hundreds of pages to decide which rom is a winner and which is a lemon ...
Yes it is true that it will be lot more convenient to us people, but what if they're doing it to learn?
You're not paying them anyway.

Not to make this personal, but if the average user is not willing to read and study then that is a problem of his, or her, own. XDA isn't about instant gratification, you SHOULD look and study, that's what evolves the average user into a more well built and well studied user
I'm not trying to offend you, just giving my two cents.
-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-
This annoys me too but for a different reason. I have created my very first rom, but it is just another rom that I themed and tweaked. I threw that rom into the trash and reset my kitchen.
Its hard to think of something original, never been done before, stand out from the crowd, make iphone users jealous... which kinda sucks, because I want to contribute to the community. I think i'll just wait a week or two for the x10 gingerbread to come out and do a few themes...
It well, that's my rant finished.

The only reason why I didn't just attach it to my post is because people will use and abuse it without my consent.
So, I ask for any graphic designers to help me with this, I will pm you the logo icon,...it is nothing major.

If I saw the logo here, I'd probably help. post a small version of something? You do know when you make a logo its good to have it really big. like 3000 pixels wide big.
Is it still available? I would love to help too. Pm me.

Sorry I didn't get back to you, but I've drawn up a rough version this morning. I've got a couple of questions before I finish it though.
It doesn't look as if the shape has an even width all the way round - some curves cause it to go thinner in places and fatter in others, and not in a smooth way. Is this correct, or should it be nice and smooth?
Also, is it bevelled and with a drop shadow? It looks like it is but it's difficult to tell at that size.

I cant post in development so I have to post here.
I've tried everything I know to try to remove the AM/PM from the status bar clock for the Esteem.
I got 10 bucks for the first person that can come up with "how to" that works. No coloring the ampm black. Clock must sit to the far right like it normally would if it was missing.
I saw MT has made a mod for it but the links are no good.
First person Ill paypal 10 bucks too.
Go.
