How to make my own modifications?

Hi everybody.
I had been using Samsung Spica and I made my own modifications of CM or Samdroidmod. I sold this phone and bought Motorola Milestone few days ago.
I wanna make some custom CM7 or Froyo roms. Could you give me some informations about making custom roms. Signing update zips is needed?
I would appreciate any help from you.

loL!....im actually bout to post this till i found ya ..same question here but slightly different...i' ve tried modifying custom roms by simply removing and adding apps/scripts/framework mods/service.jar mod from a custom rom and then signing it with Autosign. As far as i can remember it works.
But one thing is still puzzling me. Is the Process is that simple?? what are the side effects of doing this?
eg. all those png optimization done, zipalign stuff improvement stuff etc- will it be affected?
If im not wrong, there are codes in the rom that will be executed to install particular apps etc.So if we remove that particular app/other stuff what will happen to the lines?? will it skip crucial optimization lines? will it do sumting else? what will it do??!
it would be great if someone can explain this and highly appreciated too especially for beginners that google day and night and couldnt find the connection...

join to the question, will glad to hear answer

cmmon guys...help a brother out....anyone?!please

made new thread, delete.

Had too many questions so I posted them all here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044871

check the thread where the theme was downloaded.
there are a million issues when applying themes to darkys ROMs. i have experienced this many times.
the problem is the ROM takes up to much space under /system / data ( i think ) and you have to remove certain things from that folder in order for the theme to successfully apply itself.
Some work 1st time, some dont work at all.

Thanks for the reply.
Is that so? What would be the best ROM for applying themes if that's the case? All I read and hear is Darky's ROM this Darky's ROM that so I went for that instead.
I think I found the problem - I didn't have CWM installed... We'll see how it goes.

Oh right, well now you have CWM try again and see how it goes.
if you wanna change ROM i suggest making your own at www.romkitchen.org << fantastic place for customising ROMs to your own liking.

i failed again, i don't know what im doing wrong! hahaha.
i made a new thread cause i had too many questions.

All you hear is darky rom this darky rom that is not from this forum . Its just one of many .Read the posts in development section for a flavour of roms .
Bit like saying we all know MacDonald's therefore its the best food in the world .

haha you have made a new thread and no body has replied.
you would of been better off sticking to this one.

I've had to reinstall 2.3.3 using ODIN four times now... What do you two suggest I do when it comes to choosing roms? I'm sick of having to reinstall every time I get the bootloop cause the installation of a theme went wrong.

2 options man..
Stop flashing the theme, or try another rom.
Easy as that

I don't try the same theme every single time, there's only one theme I've been able to flash and it was ugly as shet.
Any rom recommendations?

Is your current ROM 'De-odexed' Meaning, is your ROM a custom ROM or a stock ROM

I believe it may be de-odexed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
Darky's rom v10 RC4

yea it will be de-odexed.
try another ROM.
www.romkitchen.org

I've decided to reinstall Darky's ROM. I just read somewhere that it may be in the bootloop cause of the bootanimation.zip or something and that if I delete that it'll get out of the bootloop? I got out of the thread, I forget where it is

/system / media bootanimation.zip

[Q] overclocking in jerpeleas cm7 rom

Could someone within this forum post instructions on how to get the default oc settings in cmparts (jerpelas rom) to use doixanhs x8oc module. Preferably by moduleman himself or jerpelea.
Thanks in advance.

Reading here Link will not only give you instructions on how to install that properly but also knowledge and understanding.

Its a great module, post and thread, but i still miss some info, like how to get module to work with native oc settings in cm rom. a lot of custom roms have this, all except jerpeleas rom. thats the rom i want to use.

Is there anyone with knowledge of this issue. please share it.

Maybe i suggest posting your query there. Making another topic with an existing one will find yourself ignored!

I'm Building a ROM...but I have a problem!

Hi Guys!
I'm what you guys call "the new kid who want's to play". I have various experience in Android flashing and updating, but I still have none kind of experience in building a Custom ROM.
But I said: What the hell! Let's try it! So I took a quick lesson at Nokia7Vista's tutorial on Youtube. I don't know if I can post links, but you can find it if you want to.
Anyway, My first ROM booted, and was based on the contents of Deodexed JW1. It has only some apps included, so no big deal here. But I wanted some experience before I get to the real thing.
OK, so I finished that, and I got to the real business:
I've started searching some of the best Custom ROM's out there. I found OserX's One, GalaxyDroid and S.U.R.F.A.C.E to meet my likes. I inspired myself from there (downloaded the 3) and took some apps, system tweaks, etc from them. OserX is JVZ, the other 2 are JW1. My ROM Was based on JW1 and was Odexed (like OserX and Surface). From what I know, JVZ and JW1 are pretty much the same ROM. Still, I didn't took anything from there but apps.
I've changed my drivers to the Nexus S drivers, and the framework-res.apk to get a CRT-on/off effect (Downloaded from this site, it's for JW1).
Basically, I did some mod's that everyone has did before. Still, when I flash the ROM, it get's stuck at the Galaxy S LOGO, (not bootanimation).
What should I do? What can be the cause of this?
Thanks...

Still no answer...
Now I understand the n00bs that post in the Development Section. Here no one f(^&&^5ing listen...
And I am no N00b, I'm just new to Custom ROM's ...I've posted to the right section, and still...no answer after a couple of days! That sucks!

Try sending a pm to one of those developers.

I've never created a Android ROM (although I used to on WM6.5).
The biggest advice that I can give to you is to go slow: Try to create a ROM in small steps - one change at a time. Very ften you'll find out that two apps supposedly working ok are incompatible with each other. The same applies to drivers and changes alike. So, if version 0.01 works and 0.02 don't, it's just a matter of see what's changed and try to figure why that change caused the new ROM to stop working.
I also agree with Valinorian - try PM experienced developers - we all walked that path already. But please: one change at a time.

emanoN v3 v4

I respect the creator of these both great roms.
But there is somthing really annoying me.
Why the hell has been the thread from emanoN v3 become emanoN v4 thread?
There are now older comments from v3 mixed with new comments for v4.
Thats not good and the things are now unclearly. I mean i sometimes can't clearly see for which somebody here is asking or reporting.
More Important for me because i will stay with v3 is where to get support and files from the "old" rom?
It would have been better and clearer to make a complette new thread here at xda for emanoN v4.
Sorry for my bad english i hope it's understandable what i want to say.
Greetings from Germany.

I believe it's a common sence here to update the original posts instead of creating new ones. And it makes sence to me, since it could be a little confusing to have many post of the same "brand of ROMs". And this could make less experienced users to be lost and install the older ROMs.
And for you to install it, it's just follow the instructions on the original thread, since they are updated too.
This is only my humble opinion.
