First off - I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to put this in.
I want to make a ROM. I don't want to make any software tweaks, purely asthetic. How would I do this?
Again, if this is the wrong forum, I'm sorry.
If you are just changing the look then it sounds like you would be wanting to theme. Please take a look at this:

another great tool is ninjamorph from the market very easy all you need is root

I have just gone from Windows Mobile (HTC), and are now using Androide on my new HTC Hero, looks very cool, but it’s also very different I have been trying to figure out how to install new ROM’s to the Hero, but I just can’t find any good descriptions on how this is done. Maybe it’s because I need to get it from scratch as I have no idea.
My Hero came with the latest firmware, was it 2.73… after what I have been able to find out there seems to be some problems flashing this right now?
Basically what I’m asking is, what’s the best place for me to start to learn my new device.
Please read the Sticky threads where you will find almost all information.
We all start somewhere so first thing to do is to be more familiarised with Android OS. After that I am sure you will travel RootWays which I think is still a one way journey for many!
here are some video tutorials. rooting, flashing, installing drivers and themes... everything U need

Thanks! That's exactly what I needed!!!
I wanted to take a first stab at doing some basic mods to a ROM and signing it as a zip for myself both to learn how to make a rom and to get the rom just the way I like it.
I wanted to take the IC3ROM v2.5 and make some minor changes for personal use. I removed/added some apps and then signed the zip correctly. One of the changes I wanted to make was to remove the DConfig app. I tried to install it onto my Hero, but got some error about "Unverified" and "DConfig app missing".
Is there some file I need to edit to tell it which apps are included/excluded in the ROM?
Thanks in advance.

FYI, I've already read the faqs and searched about 10 times. Seems like the forum here has become too assuming that no one is searching. I do searches before I post a new thread, which I don't do a lot.
FYI, I did find this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551711
it seems somehow relevant, but I can't tell what specifically I have to do to remove the aforementioned error I'm getting.
hi
I'm new with the development thing but willing to learn if anyone want to help me it would bw great.
I'm tring to make a rom that goes with my company call herbalife
thank u for reading my add and for the help.
see u
you could start with the "chucky comes with kitchen" rom.that way you can see a pre loaded kitchen, and what happens when you tweak it and re build.
I would advise you to head over to the Chef Central fora for more help and information.

Im assuming you have a back ground in development? Cooking roms is not something you can just learn in a few days, As allready mentioned there are many threads in this forum relating to cooking roms, so it would be best to check those out if you're serious abuot doing it
I think what you are looking for is how to make a custom skin for Sense. No point in making a custom rom.

I own an htc shdaow and would like to know how to merge two roms i hvae or edit it...please help is need to put this phone to rest...
Please explain your situation a little bit more in-depth; what is it you are trying to do by "merging" or "editing" the ROMs you have?
Well...
i have a wm 6.1 rom and a 6.5 rom and wanted to merge the two cause some of the apps on the 6.5 are need on the 6.1 and vice versa
And with the editing i would like to edit the 6.5 (which is easy i think) so i can add some apps and remove some so forget the merge i just want to edit a rom
link to rom http://wiki.allshadow.com/index.php/Shadow_6.5_Red_rom
Well. To simply put it - Find the fora about your device and read, read, read and learn about your device.
Then learn how to cook for your device.
If I was in your circumstance, I would dump the two ROMs and then look through the files that make up your ROMs.
For instance, I would take the first ROM and dump it. I would then create a kitchen with those files.
Then I would Look at all the extension files that are created with those ROMs, seeing if there was anything that I could use.
I cook for the Wing/Herald - a legacy device. I use packages from the Touch2 (Mega) ROMs; I use a vast majority of these packages to help keep my Wing updated.
Thanks but i learn how to cook them but the problem is that i have to sort them or something..is these a easy way to do this?

Nope, there is no magic wand for cooking!
also make sure the roms you are trying to merge and edit are stock roms and not custom roms made by you or anyone else.. because dumping a cooked rom is not possible (yet)
The HTC Shadow is a pretty old device now. I have one myself and cooking for it is definitely not easy. Best way to do it is to get a NBH editor type of tool.... dump both ROMs... and just insert the apps u want from another into the other. If u REALLY want to cook for the Shadow... erofinch made a kitchen a while back, but it's a big hassle to cook the normal way for it. I'd say install your apps via .cab and get it over with
p.s.

That is not what this forum is for. There are many resources for you if you want to make your own ROM, but this is not the place for such questions; this is xda-developers, not xda-requesters. And I doubt any developer is going to put in the huge time and effort just to make a single person a ROM to his specifications, unless a developer just happens to want the same things as you.

Like, dirty flash one on another? Or nandroid? It doesn't work that way. Each will still overwrite the system files of the previous one.

How is it not?
If you want a ROM made to your liking, make it yourself thread closed
