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

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

You should search the forum - and for that matter, post in the right sections. This is Android Themes, does 'Rooting the Galaxy 5801" belong here? No, it doesn't. It belongs in the Galaxy Android Developement thread.

What does being new to android have anything to posting in the right section? Are you also new to the existence of life as well? You posted a question about how to root in the THEME section. Sounds like you're braindead to me, can't even search either. You should go now and post oh I don't know, a question in another language other than english.. in the english forums! Go go go!

like i said, i have posted it in hacking and development, and few other threads. not even one reply. and the one;s that i get is pretty useless. and speaking of brain dead, i asked for help and not another one of these useless replies which is of no help. so if it's anyone who is brain dead, it's you. i admit my fault, but u don;t have to be so friggin rude about. someone already suggested that i post in the right section. so if u cant help mind your own business.

using z4root or super oneclick
Just download z4root from market and root.

In my opinion u should defenitly leave ur phone @ STOCK
Cause if u really need a step by step how-to plus you are not "smart enough" to search for your self in this forum and or the web, then i guess you will brick your phone.
Imo rooting mobile devices and/or installing custom Roms / Firmware is something for Users with some experience. And you DONT get this experience with just asking and following a step by step guide ... you have to understand what you are doing!

Nah, I cannot take this comment of you as you state it. ALL of us, I repeat ALL have been noobs somwhen and wanted/needed to be taken by the hand and helped out, so always try to guide them kindly to whatever they need and they ll be fine. The forum was a bit cleaner and smaller, when I came in, but still with a lot of nice and helpfull guys.
I think a good beginning is to read my noob how to (see signature) and then simply search whatever you need + optimus black in search up in the right corner and you ll get whatever you need

I just couldn't agree more with N00BY0815... We've all been noobs at some point and needed a helping hand to guide us to get a better understanding of what we were/are/will be doing.

[ROM Development] How to create your own ROM.

Hi guys
Enough of the bootanimations now I have done way too may and now I want to learn about building ROM. I want to design my own custom ROM, want to create it's own Kernel (just for information how to be advanced ) create own custom recovery, setting up GApps support editing updater script, build.prop everything.
I am a BIG TIME NOOB in programming so I want that I should be told every step of how to program even commands (kidding)
But I really have no idea with programming that much. All I know is to use dsixda's kitchen and few other NORMAL tweaks.
I know that there are all sorts of guides out there by great people like doomlord, mjraider etc( sorry know these two names only)
I want a full compact and complete package of links if anyone can provide me pretty please! I have searched s lot and all I found i was a big ZERO.If you are gonna say that it requires patience the test me I have a lot and dedication towards my work I'm a quick learner (proof you know as my bootanimations) so please bear with me ONCE! Provide a compelete set of BEST GUIDES OUT ON XDA FORUM and youtube video links if any that can teach how to to build a custom rom in which I can carry out themeing and other tweaks such as modding the status bar and battery icons etc. How to set my signature on ROM. EVERYTHING! I don't know much but you guys know what to cover in everything! SO PLEASE MY HUMBLEST REQUEST TO ALL JUST BEAR WITH ME ONCE I WILL BE HIGHLY OBLIGED!
Special Request to Mjraider : Sir I know you occasionally visit these threads and answer the questions, you are one of the biggest names here so please consider my request and help me once, I will be highly obliged:victory::angel:
My device
Xperia SP C5302
Rooted ** Unlocked Bootloader
Stock ROM JB 4.3
Firmware 12.1.A.205
CWM Recovery Installed
Kernel DooMLord's Advance stock kernel

@mrjraider hero around this corner
Dude, use the guides. No one can teach step by step of everything. Just read n learn is my best advice to you.

trial and error + research is the way how i have learned it.

First of all thanks for the reply.
Secondly that is what I mentioned in the thread that I searched XDA but couldn't find a single worthy guide that can actually define andything for eg updater script, tried googling things go way over my head :silly: You guys keep posting guides tweaks and tricks. That is why I requested that you must be knowing the best guides out that have all the information, I just ask that I want a complete bunch of links of guides here in reply so that I can go out in a flow.

Thank you for replying
I know that's the actual way, I also know that it isn't easy all I ask is for that someone just guide me the path like This is the way and I'll walk on it.
Just a guidance and that can be done by giving out the links here so that I can start and get going.

As a reply:
Just try. Keep a backup safe, follow the instructions and not much can go wrong
Edit: After I reread your question:
I cannt help you much but I can see what I can do. First you need to start. I have some update.script and adb knowledge so I can help you with that. But I am not a developer (I am a nurse actually )

That's what I am talking about!
Is there some guide or something that explains update.script and it's editing not in detail if then informative enough for me to begin with.
As far as adb is concerned then for that too a guide (I asks for too many guides sorry )

Some nice guides here. Can go through them to see whether there's anything that might help you.
A guide about flashable zips/updater-script from there. See this also.

Thanks a lot man!
You really helped me!
Cheers mate!
