I want to apologize if this is in the wrong section ahead of time.
I have been running this over and over in my head im wanting to make my own rom. I had the idea that I could just create a zip that was able to be flashed on the phone and update everything that way. Im not really quite sure where to begin and I don't have too much programming knowledge (thus the idea to craft a custom flashable)
What would be the pros and cons of just making a flashable as oppose to building everything from the ground up.

Google is you're friend I would start with installing Ubuntu I Google's and found a guide for making a rom from aosp which is what I intend on trying to do when I get time but if you want a regular rom with your things in it you could use windows and any rom just add your own things to it that you want. I'm on my phone so can't help you much just pm me ill try to help as much as I can
What is it that you want changed?
Just apps and images? Make a theme.. i am working on one now. It's not too bad to actually make the changes, my struggles were learning the initial setup process and then WHAT to edit for my end result.
you can check my honeycomb theme thread, it may help.... theme section.

I put this together because I thought it would be nice to have a step by step how to on root, without all the confusing options. This is how I rooted, and I'm not saying it's the only way, but IMO the simplest.
I also put all the common ROM info in one spreadsheet. I put some of the common things people need to know on there, like is it a 2.2 or does it have sense. Feel free to add or edit your favorite ROM on the list. Or if you have anythings I should add let me know.

Not bad at all. I really like the format you used, simple and concise. Each ROM seems to have it's own instructions but they all pretty much say the say thing. I would recommend your instructions to anyone.
Are you open to suggestions? One thing you might want to add is an FAQ or troubleshooting section. When I first learned about rooting and installing new ROMs I was always running into little issues that most of us now take for granted.

Bit harsh...you need to have an unlocked bootloader. Then download the CM7 from the development section and run the script. It's that simple!
No sorry that wasn't what I wanted to type

what are some basic things i can tweak i need helped with this process because i am new to tweaking running on abby's EC09 Deodexed
i recommend downloding ciscoes themes and decompile them..
in short, the UI can be completely themed.. Likewise, you can replace the launcher with another.
If you are a genius you can modify the ticker, but i only know of one genius as of now... Just get in it and take a look! read dude!!
Great advice Pattie.. yeah specific questions get specific answers. And would take knowledge to understand and patched correctly.
My let my people theme thread gives the tools and tuts to get ya goin. I'm still "homeless" so PC is still packed soon ill be organized again and can use more than my phone to con tribute again.

I really need to know how to increase the internal/system storage on an android 4.2.2 tablwt. every time i download a needed app or use apps memory used causes tablet to stop or even crash can anyone assist in me finding the right tools to build my Android 4.2.2 tablet
So here it is, what do we want on or phones???
when do we want it??? now of course, but I just cant... LOL
My first thought TWRP, and the CM statusbar...
Please when posting here try to refer screenshots and/or zip files.
Many fixes and features can be flashed thru CWM or TWRP over deodexed ROMS, JFYI CM is a "bundle" of user-created features...
Once we deodex we can add any GB-compatible feature, so come on let´s hear it from rock bottom!!! (Rock Bottom by the offspring!!)
And btw, let's try and keep this organized. I´ll be going now but tonight Im gonna try and make the other threads (FAQ,DEV and others for our device!)
Peace!
I don't believe twrp is necessary. It'd be cool yes. But clockwork mod is our best hope with the 2nd init booting.

And honestly I just want fully functional and fully stable Cyanogen 9 or up. But. I lack the resources to do so. And on top of that I got in a skating accident on my way to the grocery store and broke my arm. So I'd rather do as little arm movement as possible.

Yeah, same here. If I could get at least a stable CM9, then I'd be happy. I just want the video camera to work, and for it to stop freezing and rebooting every so often. The rebooting is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

That's the point mate... get all the ics/jb eye candy, while conserving the stock sbf functionality, speed and stability...
I just need some help with the deodexing crap, I really do rock using any graphics software, so once we can extract and modify everything we´ll be into something.
For those of you who might not want to eithe deodex, flasha deodexed rom or flash a custom rom but want to somewhat theme or mod their phones, fire up google and look for ninjamorph...
ninjamorph if I remember well can perform theming operations directly on the phone, and it can deodex, modify and redex apks...
It IS a little old I think. so 2010´s...
Cheers!

"Eye candy" is none of my concerns. I actually need 4.0 or up with the same APIs as my Nexus 7. Whether it be apps, frameworks, or other things. I love this phone. Hate the software. Running the CM7 from rongsang still because I need stability to use it as a phone and tool. You cannot build a city with broken tools.
