Hey there, I am trying to build a CM rom but unfortunately what i do is follow guides and stuff, so can anyone tell me how to make like your very own marks for the rom? For example, putting some kind of brand name in
:laugh: are u into marketing? :laugh:
Imagine how these marks should look, learn java and change the specific code, compile it, give the zip archive a name and post it to the forum.

^^has a lot of good information
help me! please
Yes, I searched the internet a lot on how to cook ROM's but I couldn't find crap... Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to get started on this?
Theres no real tutorial for it....its really you know how to work things through experience,
There are a lot of useful threads on xda, but you have to find them and piece them together.

What about compiling the information into a HowTo format similar to the first Linux From Scratch book?
Possibly the Gentoo ARM handbook may be of help as well.

Hey man i actually was about to jump into the same thing for this since eugene left.
I really don't know much but a few tutorials that i bookmarked and kinda got the basics.
I do know that one of the guys used an old blueberry theme from his old Hero3g Uni ROM(dont know if you were following him since then) but it did change the wood theme to blueberry without touching the icons which i think would be a good "Blank Theme" to start off with.
I am going to look for the file now.
Blinker1683, Most of the G1 instructions will work just fine with the Sapphire aswell, any specific part you need help with to get started?
Yes how can i get the empty theme to edit, do i use the files that are inside the specific ROM that i want to edit, or is there a stock theme i can download that would work .
Thanks for replying and i need the information please
i am ready to get started as soon as possible
templates
I believe you are speaking of getting a template based off a specific rom to edit the pngs and such. You can just use the dream tutorials on creating a theme, with the actual update.zip you used to flash the rom. All of the files necessessary are included in the update.zip. I believe you can also cut out all the crap u dont need, but im not sure the exact/safe process to do so.
blinker, yes you can use files inside a specific rom file or if you are making it for the cyanogenmod roms then i believe in his posts he also includes a template for themers.
I've spent the better part of 5 hours trying to come across information on ROM development.
My question is two part. What resources are there available to learn about creating a rom from scratch or editing an existing (including making the update.zip and signing)
Also, I assume the emulator is involved or at least could be. How do you create the system images that you need to create a custom avd from the zip's that you find roms in?
I have a feeling there's a lot I don't know. Perhaps the answer is in front of my face, but I've been looking for a long time and definitely have tried so please don't just say "use the search fuction" or "google it"
Devs normally don't like to share the info but there's a guide here:
http://ctso.me/2010/02/building-an-android-rom-–-part-1-5/
But the info is in other places to the google-android page might have some info to. You must be using a linux OS to actually build anything, windows is a no-go...
Quick and helpful, thanks!
Luckily I did just put the latest ubuntu on my laptop.
If anyone else wants to chime in with some helpful resources please do!
If some annoying little 14 year old made a hero rom, it can't be all that complicated.

He was just lying, he spammed various threads while talking about other devs.

first he's 14 then he's 12...next he'll be a spoiled 8 year old. you just watch.
I'm glad I checked this post. I was curious about ROM developing myself. Thanks for the post.
Is it me, or does that guy have more then one account...
At the risk of taking this further off topic... what guy?
But really my main concern is how to make a rom so, any other help from anyone would be good. Thanks!
Bump?
I'm sure somebody knows something

If you would like to compile android source code (create a rom from scratch) the best place to start would be:
http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=2004
or
Chris Soyars' blog: http://ctso.me/2010/01/building-an-android-rom-part-1/
OpenEclair github readme: http://github.com/openeclair/android
Official AOSP Guide: http://source.android.com/download, http://source.android.com/download/using-repo, http://source.android.com/documentat...ding-for-dream
Instructions on creating and signing update.zip files can be in a few places herre on xda. Check the themes section I'm pretty sure I saw a few there.
Also, I assume the emulator is involved or at least could be. How do you create the system images that you need to create a custom avd from the zip's that you find roms in?

Install the rom on a handset & do a nandroid backup. It will produce the img files you will need for the AVD
Dude, you're awesome, thanks!
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...
Kiay
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.
Okay So Basically I Just Started Working With The Rom Kitchen Can Someone Give Me Some Pointers On How To Get A Specific Rom Booting or Anything Else I Need To Know ?
Man do yourself a favor a READ and search for awhile.... all you ever do is ask for handouts. Development is not easy. Its not just a matter of asking questions. You had 134 views of this page before I responded. That's 134 people that didn't wanna help you... if that doesn't say anything I dont know what will.

There is no specific guide to porting, developing, etc. As Matt said, read. And lots of it. I personally started by playing with aosp and CM source, but you currently cannot due to kernel.org being down, but you can go to my signature and read my thread on compiling aosp gingerbread on Ubuntu. It will help you understand how some things work. Try taking apart a ROM and learn the layout of the files and read up on what different folders and files are. The rest is really just trial and error. I started with no experience at all. Hell I still don't know any coding languages, but that's why I'm in college.
