This is exciting, I am in the kitchen going through the menu. updating getting some
erors like
Could not update init.rc!
but trying to get it where it will wipe so during flashing we don't have to go through that either, but not going through
"unable to modify update script"
But when updating online says I have to latest version, and then run through the script error and found 30 issues found.
say's, "Please reviw the update-script to ensure it is correct?"
Note: Update-script must be converted to an updater-script before flashing.
It takes many, many, many years. Instructions on how to make ROMs were actually found on the back of the Ten Commandments by Moses, and have been passed down from generation to generation. Because of this, it takes many years to translate the different stories together to find out how to do it.

All depends on what u want to make with ur rom. U gonna speed it up. Make it smaller. Theme it. Create different transitions. Add it extras. Change around a bunch of the PNG files. Mess with the kernal. Change the boot animation. Each take different amounts of time as well as skill. Depends on how good u r with Photoshop and also at figuring out what exactly u want ur rom to look like. I created two roms in the hero forum and did some crazy things. I have yet to try anything here but as the devs move onto the 3d I might start releasing and working on things again as well.
You could always compile CM7 from source, change a few images and give it a new name. That could be done in an hour or less...
Yea, kind of hard to say if you don't tell us what you want to create.
When the new 2.3.3 update came out from HTC, I downloaded the rooted version that xHausx put up in the dev forum. I then stripped out all the stuff I don't use, and added the stuff I wanted, and flashed it to my phone. Then I made a couple of mods that I like to use with the UOT kitchen and flashed those to my phone, and reinstalled all of my apps. Took me about three hours total, including downloading the base rom.
On the other hand, extensive theming, optimizing, porting roms from other devices, or compiling a new rom from AOSP can take weeks or months of spare time work (never done any of those things myself, but have closely followed the progress of some who have).

Reposted from Android Central (link above):
Guys and Gals -
First off, I had a read through and I'm glad for you all that it looks like you might get a working camera with the 2.1 leak. Congratulations to whomever figured it out.
Now on to the not so good news. This morning I received an email from the developer of a popular market application. It seems that someone has put out a ROM full of stolen software, and associated my name with it, as they took the boot image from one of my ROMS and called it their own. This developer and I have squared things away, so no harm no foul on my end.
It does leave me in a dilemma. Rather than have my name tossed in to a mix like this again, I've decided that I'm finished developing for the Hero. Enjoy the work, I won't take it down, and if I can get Google Earth and Nexus one wallpapers working a bit better (yes I have it loading and running, but it locks the system up after 30 seconds or so) I'll pass that fix to the few people here who have helped out so that they can package it up in any way they like.
The person responsible (and I won't name names - they know who they are, and the work they put out with my name attached isn't hard to find) has really soured me. I have been an open source developer for almost 20 years, and am very happy that the carrier I use for cellular service finally released a (mostly) open source operating system for me to play with. The way I see it this leaves me with two choices:
1. - Stop releasing work that others can use in any way they like
2. - Stop developing altogether for the Hero.
I chose number 2. There is already enough closed development and a "I'm first" mindset. That also goes against everything I believe in, so it's not an option. Bundling my name with software piracy and IP theft is not an option either. I will not let this happen again.
Keep the flames and ignorant comments to yourself please. I've thought about this all day, and this is my decision. I'll always be available to help others in any way I can, but I won't be publishing any more work. Rather then wasting time and energy to tell me how wrong I am, please use that effort to congratulate the individual who has placed me in this position. Sorry, but it is what it is.
Jerry.

Thanks for all your help and support.
drink water move on...
You can't let one person mess something up for everyone else...That's not right.
please name the rom, that way some of us can boycott that rom..
shouldn't let this one person stop you from doing what you love to do though...
gbhil ..you've done a great job with the kernel + hack ..your work is very respected around here..do not go...
Gbhil didnt mention it. Dont know if he will.
oh damn that sucks im digging your roms i hate to see you go !
id love to know the rom that your talking about
i hope change your mind and stick around
well chances are he will wont be changing his mind any time soon well lets look at the roms there are
flipz-him and cghil have done alot of work together
theres
darch- who gbhil has helped out a bit and he doenst have alot of software on there thats not allowed
Aloysius 1.0 ROM - dont know alot about this rom anyone know about this rom.

Thank you
Well, first lets thank gbhil for his effort, time, and work that he's put into helping us develop.
His guidance has helped almost every project associated with the CDMA Hero.
You will be missed.
That being said, let us not take this as setback. Use it as inspiration to get your own hands dirty. There's no better time than now to learn the trade.
And please, don't go on a witchhunt to attempt to bring this person to "justice." It puts the entire community into a bad light, something that a lot of us don't want.
HEY GBHIL dont leave f00, ur roms rox my sox in a box of rox. i was using flipz old 2.1 rom (before droid eris leak) and then i switched to ur droid eris leak remake or w/e and i was like AMAGADZ its so 1337 and fast. it's almost like the hero isnt a crappy slow 524mhz processor with ur rom. let us know the dev's ip who put the pirated stuff up so we can pwnz his comput0r with 1337 hax0rz

I think when he says boot image he might mean the actual boot.img of his roms. That has to be modified for his kernel to work in the first place, so everything out there incorporating his work has in some way used it.

Hey guys,
First of all I wanna say how frustrated I am with how slow the development of themes and roms is going. I'm so anxious to unleash the BEAST inside of the Fascinate. It's an amazing phone with so much potential, but it just needs a few things. I had an Incredible since it came out, and the options were endless with roms/themes/kernels, you name it. Nevertheless, I won't complain because I'm not a dev and I have so much respect for those guys.
Anyway, I'm really looking to port over some themes from a few other different phones. However, from what I understand my phone needs to be deodexed. Can someone tell me how to go about doing this? Any help would be great!

Hmmm, really now?
If you're that anxious, quit your job and start developing fascinate ROMs full time.
I'm sure these guys are doing their best, and it's only been a few weeks.
We have root and clockwork so far, the rest will be coming soon.
Wow, I love how quickly the flaming starts. I stated in my first post about how I appreciate everything the devs are doing, I'm just anxious that's all. I thought by asking a question like this I'd get some productive feedback from someone so that I could start theming my phone. But apparently that's not the case.
So does anyone want to help or does everyone just want to flame me?
Thanks

You guys flaming must be really bored. Of all the posts that deserve a jab, his seemed pretty innocuous.
Anyway, I have deodexed other android phones (Incredible, Droid X) and the manual process was, if not brutal, at least time consuming and buggy. Better to just wait for one of those developers you were good naturedly poking for some advice to release a pre-deodexed zip.

Hey, no need for flaming anyone. We understand that the process is moving slowly. We just have other things that we want to get finished first. There are a few people just trying to get the kernel to boot from the source samsung posted. There has already been some breakthroughs, wifi and sound is what they are working on now.
As for roms, fallingup posted a semi-clean rom. It's not deodexed, but it gets rid of alot of the bloatware.
Matt4542 is trying to get his running and it is deodexed, he is also trying to find a phone lol.....

Edit : feel free to join the #samsung-fascinate irc chat room on freenode, its the best place to keep up with the movement.
Thanks so much guys for the info. I wouldn't call myself a newbie when it comes to this stuff but I don't think I'm ready to take on this project alone.

Just skip the vzwlbs files. They have issues. Xeudoxus confirmed VZW's ****ty code is producing the errors. Just so you know I already tried this and applying the deodexed files borked my phone. I had to odin system. It may have been my method of applying the files. I believe it's best to do it in recovery. Best of luck. I hope you get it working.
Also had similarly bad success here. Pushed the deodex'ed files back into system/app and system/framework, and removed all odex files except the vzwlbs.odex.
Phone got black screen after the VZW boot up animation.

Just rebooted and it is fine. tell me what you need and how to do it...
I'm no longer working on this. I've tried, failed, and moved on. It seems that some other folks have had some success. Maybe they will continue on. Between work, family, college, etc. it's obvious that I'm getting nothing done on this.
This is an attempt at taking the work being done for the heroc here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911828 and porting it to the Eris.
Honestly, I know enough to be dangerous and that's about it. The HeroC (sobe and those thanked in the post linked to above) folks and those upstream from there are doing most of the work. So, thank you to them.
If anyone would like to help, please do. That's the main reason that I'm posting this now. The kernel doesn't even compile at this point, much less boot. (It's hard to boot something that doesn't exist. )
Source: https://github.com/gnarlyc/cm-kernel
So far, here's what I've done.
1) forked sobe's repo
2) copied the heroc board files, renamed the copies to *desirec*, and changed all instances of HEROC to DESIREC and heroc to desirec inside the files
3) started removing heroc touchscreen stuff and adding desirec touchscreen stuff
Why am I doing this?
1) learn more about kernels
2) use some that programming knowledge that I'm supposedly learning in class
3) get an updated kernel for the Eris
very nice, i do wish you luck.
Very good. Glad to see you working on this.

This is what we would need to port over the new Hero Sensable Gingerbread right? Man if we could get this working, I would be about the happiest guy in the world
My final exam is on Wednesday of next week. So, I can promise that I will put much more effort into after that. I can't promise to get it working, but I'll definitely put a lot more time in. As I said before, if anyone wants to jump in and help, feel free. There's already one other person (breber) helping, but I think he's been in the same boat as me. So... Hopefully, he'll be able to help more after classes are over too.
Kernel updates are pretty much the only updates I ever care about.
Just an update. This hasn't been worked on as much as I hoped. However, I've had help from breber. Actually, he's made much more progress than I did. The kernel not only compiles, but it boots too! As soon as we can get the touchscreen working, it might even be usable.
Here's the current source.
https://github.com/breber/cm-kernel
If anyone else wants to take a stab at it, feel free. Our time is somewhat limited.
I've played around with adding the capella 3602 stuff back in, but it didn't seem to help with the touchscreen issue. The TS is one of the few components that are different between the HeroC and Eris.

Hey could anyone please direct me to some tutorials that show how to make a ROM i understand the basics but i would like to try to create my own ROM
Could you clarify how you wish to make a ROM.

Build your own ROM completely from stratch?

It sort of counts. Using dsixda's kitchen you can rip open a ROM and edit what you want inside. Using the UOT kitchen you can theme the ROM.

Don't rush, take your time. Get it right the first time, then improve upon it.

Why did it break? because of the ROM or the phone just broke?
The vibration motor packed in. It just makes a clicking/scraping noise now.

That would be a pain in the arse, is there anyway of making sure it wont brick before i test flash it
If its just a ROM, don't worry about it. Just make a good backup before hand with recovery. Its radio bricks you should be wary of.
The worst a bad ROM can do is bootloop.
Hi all,
Personally I still love my G1. It is the 1st Android phone so historically something that is interesting on its own.
I assume most of the G1 owners on this forum are having the same geekish interests as me and I was wondering what you are doing with the device that you concider 'cool' and can impress fellow geeks
Some things I think are impressive:
1. Having a rooted device with a custom very stable and fast Gingerbread firmware (ezgingerbread)
2. The droid2600 and Frodo C64 emulators that run great on the G1 with its keyboard.
3. Haven't done this myself yet, but seeing videos of debian run on the G1 was pretty impressive.
4. Eventhough it is probably not ready for daily use but having ICS on the G1 is amazing.
My G1 is running debian for a while now. But it mostly sits in drawer now, I just bring myself to sell it. No matter how much my wife nags at me.

How well does it run? I guess you can't use it as a phone if you started debian?
I am using Frayo
And I use it mainly for forums and IRC and stuff

Running a customized rom you created yourself does belong in the 'wish I could say that' category.
Compiling programs from source does seem to be possible for the lesser educated with the scriptset smitna has created. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444792
Not as cool as creating your own rom, but you have to start somewhere
I been using it mainly to try roms and stuff,
but every time a friend lost or have no phone, until they get a proper.
I give it to them to use it
and to try to convert them to android
so I use it for educational porposes
Im using frayo too (thanks )

What do you mean?
I am really honestly using Frayo....
Froyobylaszlo is /the/ best G1 ROM and I use my mod for the (few) features it adds
Did I say I used that script?
Well...no, I didn't
And I can compile a ROM on my own from source thank you very much.
I just don't really see the need anymore since froyobylaszlo is as good as it gets
And instead of working my way up from aosp, learning along the way since I don't know a lot, I decided to just mod in features I like
And no I didn't use some scripts or rom kitchen
I tried using an apk compiler and a theme kitchen thing to fix certain problems, but then I decided against it...
Also, as of now I'm stopping working on my ROM and MOD and am gonna go for some pure PC development to work on my skills
I'm not too sure what you were trying to say but that's my response
If I misunderstood you, sorry
Edit: I think I did....now I'm debating wheter I should delete the above....
Sorry
Just ignore it all...I though you were saying that I shouldn't advertise here (I'm not btw I'm actually using it to post even)
And I thought you said I used that script and didn't do anything
Well, if you want to jumpstart into rom development with modding,, just open up the rom with winrar/7zip and start looking around
And at the google source website you can find how to compile a rom
The second option may require some programming skills

Nice ideas. Might do some research, thx!
Was indeed giving you a compliment for your rom modding, maybe my indirect approach was not clear enough (I am not a native English speaker... that probably doesn't help as well)

Oh ok thanks
Sorry bout that...http://forums.androidcentral.com/hacking/6037-general-rom-faq.html
This is very useful
Go to "building a rom"
Idk if the link works, its been strange for me, so just scroll down to it
Whenever you edit a rom, you have to sign it...
That link has the files and directions
Also,
I've just had fun experimenting with my G1. I didn't root it myself, but I have learned a lot since I got it. I ran through about 10 or 15 different roms until I found one that I like personally (Ginger yoshi) and customized it the way I wanted. I think the coolest thing that I did on it running a SNES emulator (although I only did it once because of ridiculous lag). I started toying around with DOS box but that didn't go anywhere. I wasn't able to do much with it because it is my primary phone and it got extremely annoying to have to fix it every time I messed something up.
Anyway, it was tons of fun... then it broke :'( And now I'm getting my friend to give me his for free! and the fun will continue.
