[Q] The program that makes custom ROMs ? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've decided. I am going to make my custom ROM but I want to know...
What is the program that developers use to make their custom ROMs?
I use: Windows XP 32 bit.
So I want the compatible program with Windows XP.
Thanks in advance.

alas...
It wold be a great tool. not only for making Roms, but to test out a ROM before deciding if you want to flash it.

Hmm, in the Windows Mobile SDK for Visual Studio there's a Windows Mobile emulator. Is it possible to use a different rom on the emulator?

Deving on a Mac

Hey guys I have been getting into a lot of modding and such I was wondering what programs you guys recommend using to develop apps, roms, mods and stuff like that on a mac. I just have one request; please don't tell me to get a windows computer. I can't afford it or I would.
Thanks for any help
For apps, you can easily install Eclipse and download all of the Android SDK bits.
You can also partition your hard drive and run Linux .
It's actually better to use a Mac than a PC. You don't really need any special apps or tools besides what comes in the SDK. And on a Mac, you can build android from source. You can't on a PC.
I have a Mac and I've used it for developing
Thanks for the quick replies. Can the SDK tools be used to tweak apks?

really dont know, but from reading guides before about porting roms, 90% of them say best use ubuntu but for me, learning how to to use ubuntu was probably harder than porting a rom haha so hats off to the devs.
Yes you can use windows to build or port kernels but it is much much harder than just using ubuntu. Ubuntu has 90% of the things needed already but with using windows you need to install alot of things to make it work. will take twice as long using windows tbh. Better off getting hold of say a 80Gb hdd and installing ubuntu onto it and using it as just a development OS. If your thinking porting kernel 3 is going to be easy your very very mistaken. Kernel 3 will take months to port and while noonamer has ported a good 80% much more things still need to be done as your device is not designed to run kernel 3. I don't have desire so could not really say but let me tell you if you do not know anything about kernels or do not even know how to port then the chances of you getting it done are about 6%. Now i am not trying to put you off giving it a go but i am just stating the facts. xx
Let's wait first for kernel 3.x anyway, and start porting then.

You could try this thing
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
Boot ubuntu from usb. Easy, and you won't struggle that much. Virtual machines and cygwin are a pain in the ass.

I found running ubuntu off a usb really slow, even though my pc is pretty decent.
Like abaaaabbbb63 said, virtual machines and cygwin are even worse.
I would recommend dual booting it with windows. Its actually quite easy to setup.
I watched this guide and literally had everything done in about ten minutes.
Its definitely the best way to go if you want speed.
It literally takes me like 30 minutes to get ubuntu installed get all needed software for compiling installed and get everything set up. You need to install git you need to get a JDK installed then you need to get hold of a tool chain then install adb + fastboot best installed via PPA. then your still not ready because you will need to learn basics of git then you will need t o learn how to compile aswell. If your new to kernel development your going to need to study kernel development before you even think about setting up a linux machine. This studying is needed because some people will open up multiple threads because they failed to study it before setting up the machine. Best thing you can do is study study study x
It took me 3 days to learn how to port kernels, compile and it is very hard xx
Maybe you can tell me .
JDK still installed and adb + fastboot too
I'm waiting for aosp kernel 3.x first.. then merge them with HTC kernel.

[Q] Ubuntu in tab s?

It's possible to run linux on android (google app store) app. And install ubuntu on the app and run the same using chroot. Will this be possible in any of the new roms that are posted in the developers area? Thanks for your answer, this will be principal factor in my decision to buy this device.

I don't see why not, you could even port native Ubuntu over with a little effort since the 5420 soc already has Linux ports.

Hmm. very interesting thanks for the info... Any hands on experience with "Complete Linux Installer" , "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid&hl=en" Running Linux native in the device sounds interesting, but running ubuntu on the same within android is exactly what I need at this moment. In some of the devices that I use to have especially with a original rom this process is not supported. If any body had done this process in the device and could advise will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
I'll give it a go on my Tab S 8.4 and report back...

I tried it on the SM-T800 (WIFI) and it doesn´t worked at all because it cannot run the loop mode (?)
I´m trying linux on android for the first time so maybe someone can help me with it!
I need to figure out if it would be possible if i had another Kernel or another rom.
At the moment I´m running ThunderRom 800
Thanks in advance!

Same here. seems to need the ability to do a mount loop. any ideas.
I get "unable to create loopback device" error. Blows..
Does anybody knows the complete procedure to activate loop device on the smt800

Hello,
Our phone meets the criteria for running a perfect windows OS/Firefox OS and I am willing to port it for our beloved Xperia M but I need some people who can help as I am having lack of time and can just help you a bit.
Anyone interested in joining the team ?
I can help you, but never ported a ROM before, got some technical knowledge also, I can help you as far as I can...

Do you have already compiled build of UT? I wanted to try porting it, but reading guides on official site made me realize my lack of experience. And is device part built on AOSP base?
