Hi there guys! I'm new here and i have to say that this is the greatest site for the best phone of all--The XDA and XDA II.
I cooked up my ROM using the ROM Kitchen from Yorch.net. After fooling around with it a bit, i thought of putting in other software in a new ROM i wanna cook up. IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE A ROM USING THE BASE ROM FROM YORCH AND ADDING MY OWN SOFTWARE WITHOUT USING A UNIX BOX? I have never used Unix before and don't have a box.
Your're advice will be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Does anyone have any websites that they would like to recommend regarding info on ROM cooking?
I really like the idea of being able to totally customize our phones once the root is done but would like to try to have something done by the time our Dev team gets root to us. If this is possible and we won't be needing much from the phone before it is rooted (device specific files that we don't have access to now?) to put a ROM together then I am ready to get started.
If you're already working on this I'll be more than happy to help you out with some guidance.
this is someting you just have to learn it's preaty much doing a system dump of a current working rom. but it's more complicated than replace this file and that file as i spoke before. thta was just a gereral idea.
real rom cookers manipulate the kernal so thier ideas work better and faster than the original. just take a look at my friend cyanogen he's done wonders in rom cooking. i think haykuro and old dev from xda has a rom kitchen tut out there in the intertubes but have lost touch with him.

Very True...I do my own ROMS for myself and a few friends with my Xperia WinMo....its all about performance and how you put it together...
I've played around with rom cooking for my Omnia last year. It is pretty involved. This site and MoDoCo are some of the best places to find information on. I would suggest looking at the Hero forums and other Android phones as I would think some of the specifics are different than say WinMo.
Any way, I plan on reading up on this myself, so if I come across any good info I'll post it here.
i've got a rom done when we get root. just took out all the apps and replaced them with stock android, but its better than nothing for now. we'll still need to get amon-ra recovery and stuff working.
Is anybody thinking about making a Nexus One ROM for the Eris once we get root

A 2.1 ROM or a Nexus One themed ROM?
I'm sure someone will do 2.1 but I'm sure Nexus One stuff (startup animations etc) could just be added to any other ROM with minimal work after we get this thing rooted.
from what ive been reading..and surely hope its true, alot of Chefs are looking to port of specifically Espresso and Nexus themed roms.
and that to me is just freakin awesome.
but all jokes aside..i just wanna metamorph and go nuts with the themes lol
So tomorrow I have a brand new HTC HD2 from T-MOUSA arivving brand new. Of course the first thing I wanna do is root it, after I figure out which rom to choose. Before I do that are there some things I should do first right out the box?
1. Using TMO? (if not - unlock)
2. Flash to custom firmware.
3. ... of course, install Android SD and forget about WM

You did not post back here so I was wondering what did you do with your HD2 when you got it.

Custom firmware is custom but it is still Windows Mobile (WM). So if you flash a custom ROM you still have WM but just a way more smooth WM ROM.
Flash it with mgldr then clockwork mod then android nand flash. I like tween typhoon rom

Sorry everyone I totally forgot about this thread. Well when I got the phone the SPL or the radio didn't match the prerequisites it needed to match for the rom I wanted (HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6). After 36 hours of reading and researching I figured out I needed to flash a stock rom in order to get the prerequisites I needed. After finding the stock rom, on TMOUS website, I installed in it installed the new radio and spl, the same ones I needed. So I followed the guide and installed HardSPL and then MAGLDR then flashed it with HD2 CoreDroid DHD V1.6 and it worked flawlessly. I would highly recommend this rom for the HD2.

Nice ROM choice there! Your HD2 is going to surprise you a lot more than the newer devices and their surface-appealing specs.

I have one of the old original T-Mobile G1 phones that I unlocked and am using with AT&T. I've been digging through piles and piles of web pages talking about ROMs and SuperAOSP, Gingerbread, etc.
Is there a website that is current that has the latest and greatest firmware and OS that can be installed on an old G1 that has step-by-step instructions? I'm a noob to flashing ROMs and such so I need detailed instructions on how to do all this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Keep 'em clean tho.)
Thanks.
Dep what yer looking for ever version has its good roms I use anything from donut to gb pm if u wanna talk I could help ya I'm on att to lol

There are a lot of ways you can do this.
What's on your phone? Froyo, Gingerbread?
Did you do anything to it, so far?

I used AAHK as it seems to be the easiest way to unlock it.
Just follow the instructions.
I'm running CM7 now and loving it.
Yeah use the ace hack kit...easy squeezy

Do you have much information on development section...Everything well explained, i learned from there...
The development forums are the best source of knowledge for anything you want to know about modding your DHD, trust me give it a go
And if you're on Telus you will need (like I needed...) to do a goldcard...
I haven't succeed without it ! Even following (almost) every instructions.

AAHK does goldcard AUTOMATICALLY no matter the network. Super CID, ROM included. How hard is it for people to just read...
