Hey guys. I need some help with this app from a more savvy user than myself. The dev mentions that he will not take request to make incompatible roms compatible but he makes reference to an app called CLRMAME which can apparently alter roms to make them compatible with other emulators. I installed this rom and the first thing you have to do is setup a PROFILE. This is where I am stuck. Looks like you have to find the .exe file for the emulator you want the roms to be compatible with. Clearly its a version of MAME but I can't find the one that the dev says his rom is based off of. I did find a zip file but it didn't contain any. exe files. Anyone that knows how to use this damn thing and can help me out it would be appreciated! FYI the game I'm trying to get work is Wrestlefest!
i didnt realize there was a mame emulator worth using - if I can pull myself away from Dark Souls today and my games are compatable I'll attempt to figure it out.

well ive been downloading a couple of roms ending in "xxxxx.zip.jar" i was wondering if they can be simply flashed like regular update.zip files if i just renamed it update.zip.jar or what is the correct procedure i must take to safely flash my new rom or theme?

Those honestly sound like viruses to me. Like the stuff you find on the internet, "oh you want this pic? Download xxx.jpg.exe." DONT DO IT.
find the ROM links on this forum
I echo xsnipuhx. XDA is known for developer mods and ROMs and thus is a reputable source. Best to get it here if possible unless you trust the source you've downloaded it from. If you don't know where it came from to begin with then its not worth the risk.
i get them here, but they are links to 4share and when i download form there the zips turn into .jar files. which are some java type. but i just changed the extension from .zip.jar to just .zip and they functioned just fine. thank you guys though. btw i have a macbook so dunno if that has anything to do with the functioning working correct. Just flashed to Drizzy MyTouchFlo, real nice.
Ah, that could be why then having a mac. Well it works ^_^
Could you please edit your thread title to include [SOLVED] so mods and others know? Thanks

I'd like it to be proof-read by somebody else. Not meaning to be disparaging to your possible skill, but a guide written with the same rampant disregard of English shown here is likely to lead to confusion. Guides and tutorials should be written mindful of the fact that exactness and clarity is required.
I would really like to know how to sign a ROM... mainly because I'd like to be able to modify existing ROMs with different apps and ringtones prior to flashing, which would be MUCH easier than having to do everything through Terminal after flashing.
It would help if there was a list of hero apps that would work when creating a normal G1 rom (not hero).

Look in the theme forum for stericson's auto-signing tool. You can sign roms with it. Its reallyeasy to set up and you can use it to sign .zip files. Its what i use with all my themes and it works great
I am at work on my phone right now but when i get home i will edit this post with a link to it if i remember

Hi guys - I created a thread over in the EVO section where I'm collecting fonts and throwing them into flashable fontpacks and I was wondering if they work on the Hero also. I've attached the most popular one - could someone try flashing this and let me know if it works for you? Back up first, just in case. Thanks.
Just wanted to let you know about this Maybe it's not worth making since this tool is already around?
EDIT: Just checked your zip and it'll work if you did the renaming correctly! There are 2 u-some-numbers files in there though and I don't know what they are but as they do not replace anything they will not do anything.

Thanks - it was originally renamed to work on the Evo - I didn't change anything here, just wanted to see if the file would work as is. In hindsight, I don't know why I thought it would.
I knew about that tool, but it doesn't really help if you don't have a computer around. I originally put a few of these together because a friend of mine couldn't figure out typefresh, but that's about the extent of my abilities .
Thanks again!
if anyone hits my thread in the evo section (link in my sig), the fonts in the latest update should work for you guys, and I'm working on coverting the older fonts also. I don't have a Hero, and I'm still kinda new at this, so let me know if you have any issues. No guarentees I'll be able to make it work, but I'll try.
Great work fachadick ! I can confirm I have tried about 5 different ones and they all work a treat and are really easy to install, much easier than messing around with Typefresh which is what I used to do.
Thanks again.

As the title says - Adding libs to roms, can someone point me in the right direction? I have been a member of this forum for a while, just not a posting member, I now feel it is my time to add something back to the community, is it as simple as adding it to the rom whilst flashed to an X8? Please help me, maybe I can bring something back to the community..

maybe developpers little bit bz rite now..
what i can advice you is..
just flash the room and then use 'root explorer' to play with lib
make sure your phone rooted
peace!
Thank you, I will try that, I am wishing to work on a ROM and get wifi, 3G and such working, however I have tried using ADB to push the libs but I don't know if it worked or not..

I want to make the whole sense rom work, BUT I can't access the system files without having the rom installed which is pretty gay.. I need some way of accessing it in the .img format which then I can flash to my phone to test... mshhh... plus I'm not quite sure which libs will work (ofcourse when I find out I will seek permissions before uploading the rom...)
To open .img you could use Winimage or Poweriso or something similar.

Maybe someone can help me with this? We could work together to make a fully working sense rom... come on people.. someone who wants this must have a bit of knowledge on the subject...
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

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.
