I'd like to learn editing, modding or porting roms and stuff like that.
Is there any good tutorials and sources where I can study and try to make some roms?
Thanks!

you can ask me some stuff in pm if you want !
Well, I need to know everything, because I don't know anything.
I think that firstly I need to learn how to customize the stock rom, right?
What should I do?
Download stock rom and edit what and how?
Awww, screw it.
I'll stick with using someone's roms. It looks to hard to develop.
Pls, close this thread.
look in ur pm ;D
Yes, thank you.
p.s. I can't give more thanks because I'm limited to 8 thanks per day.

I don't know
It'll be mostly made by you, I mean, I don't know anything.
Maybe I should try something by myself, to learn just some basics, then we can try making new rom.
But, is there any emulator or something to try the rom without flashing directly on my phone?
I don't want to flash bad and untested rom and brick my phone.
i can teach you how to port from ace, theme a rom and tweak it but thats it, if you're interested, pm me
ps: always have a nandroid, so you can restore in case of brick

experiment a bit with uot kitchen, and dsixda's kitchen to edit roms. for example take a clean cm7, and use uot kitchen to theme it and use dsixda kitchen to add some features o something..
what is the difference between uot kitchen, and dsixda's kitchen?

uot kitchen is to thema framework and system files from a rom, for example lockscreens, statusbar colors etc..
dsixda kitchen is to add technical features to a rom such as root acces, no boot sound, init.d support, kernel modyfing and much more.

Uot is in browser, so no.
Dsixda can be used on windows with cygwin, a linux terminal emulator so you can run linux compitable scripts.

i dont know about update script. plsssss HELPPP
U have to make a thread in general sec
Use CWM or another updater-script.
this question is about developing a new rom. IMO its ok to post here.
@dineshlives: did you use dsixdia kitchen? if yes, you should modify the script. the script generated by dsixdia doesn't work for SGY. if you only have minor modification (without custom kernel or a2sd) you may check hybrid's or myss's script. if you use custom kernel or a2sd. you may see bazz's, or repencis's. those two last is harder to use and may not work. but both hybrid's or myss's works fine without any modification as long as you don't touch /system/bin and /system/xbin.
HELP

I've made a guide to customize or make a new rom. you may check it on dev section.
Uhhm ok first of all I'm not a 'PRO' at android manipulations or something, just an average xda guy, so please be friendly ...
I was thinking if is there a way that I can make my stock rom function like custom roms? Like have what most custom roms have to offer? I read that stock is always better than custom...
Also like my stock can have tweaks to lengthen batt life, make it faster eventhough its just stock. And also have tweaks like MegaBassBeats etc. just wondering since idk if I can flash those directly on stock.
PS. Im currently using Hybrid v4
You can follow kurotsugi thread to create custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590330
I always use stok rom and customize with some tweak, modify infitrams in kernel and add another work from other but still love to use stok kernel.

That thead made after i custom my rom. Lol.
But kurotsugi more better than me to write and his progres very awsome n more advance than me.
Actualy just use rootexplorer, titanium backup, cwm, and winrar in window enough for minimalis customize.
if you don't want to make an installable rom, you can skip that part. you can go directly for customizing section. you can follow chamatht post about deodexing apk's.
PS: thanks savie, but I'm not as good as savie have said. I'm just another noob here

sir what do you mean if I dont want to make an installable rom? and which part do I skip? I just want to make a rom or just customize stock rom and let it have maybe the following:
-bravia engine
-megabassbeats
-v6 and [email protected] support
-deodex (still thinking about it, since it looks kinda hard)
-merruk kernel (I think I read somewhere that it is ok with stock rom? not sure)
those are currently my target for this project... is it possible to have those on (modified) stock rom sir?
Edit: I just read your guide sir, and I think I can do it (I think), so I can customize an existing rom that I have now and put bravia engine + megabassbeats etc. on it? Btw, I have a ccopy of chobits rom so I have the files, your guide says "put be_photo and be_movie in system/etc folder then edit the build.prop" what do I put in build.prop to make it work?

you can go straight to the customization. see add_build.prop.sh inside megabassbeat. that is the script that you should add.

so the add_build.prop.sh I just copy paste the contents to build.prop? or is it supposed to be a separate file that I should just paste somewhere on system folder?

don't copy all the script. you'll need to copy the string and value for build.prop file. if you don't know which one should be copied you can use this one. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zf40rush0bdj1u2

Why do you need to zip align every time.Need to zipalign an app only once.
anyways here is the script.
Unzip it and copy it to /system/etc/init.d and give it executable permissions. Look at the permissions of the other script and make this one the same.
For V6 supercharge ... look into the V6 supercharg post for guide.
There are lots of ROM creating Guides. Just search in XDA forums and you will get plenty.
What you dont understand is that its not so simple to follow a guide to make your own rom, because then its not really yours. Start off with getting someones else's rom and doing little mods to it. Just think: what would make the rom better? Say for example yopu might do some speed improvements, then maybe beats audio, then maybe some android 4.2 apps, etc. Once you have enough new things then you can make your own thread.
PS: googling stuff always helps

Then what are stock based roms? Look at UHD, sparta charge, x gamer, acroniam, jelly sandwhich. They're just stock that's been modded, tweaked and rooted.
But they´re still defferent to a stock rom with some mods of the modding section.
U cant pick 5 mods and call it a new custom rom.
Check out the ROM "cyano bean" its a entirely different ROM to cm10 yet look at my quote:

Hi, this is a ROM heavily based on the work of FXP
I wanted to share the ROM I put together for my own personal use (so I didn't have to flash lots of individual things) and wanted to share it with the community, as it is a very fast ROM (no thanks to me)
So to start with I am no developer, I have not made any of the things included in this ROM apart from adding a few tweaks to the build.prop
I merely compiled lots of different things and put them into this in the hope people in the community will enjoy

False. The only benefit of bring codex is first boot or a clearing of dalvik-cache, and that's only for apps that are odexed. Other than those two situations, you literally cannot tell the difference between odexed and deodexed.

You can use ROM installer, goo.im, ROM toolbox pro, which all allow you to dl a custom rom and gapps. Those are all in the playstore. I'm guessing that's what you meant, your question wasn't very descriptive...

you will need a linux box of some sort.
I use both DsiXDA Kitchen moddified with new smali and back smali updates and new supersu, and the Archi kitchen from the repo he has as it has new updated perms and symlink processes, also an updated deodexing process.
there's no 'real' that i know of newbie way of making roms. You just have to play around with the kitchens and then code and mod the framework and systemui apk's by hand.

No worries - I tend to go about things my own funny little way anyway I usually just dd a live /system (usually mount it in linux to pull out the stuff I need) and ls -ZR /system to get the perms/ownership/contexts/symlinks info I need to put an updater-script together.
