hi guys im a bit of a self confessed n00b with android adb etc but im learning gradually, what id like to know is what happens to the custom roms and the new look market. For example im using qteks hero rom v1.6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540745 will the market place in its new form just appear or doe qtek have to recook his rom to include the new improved market or will it be a patch from google etc?
Hi,
Is there a way of getting custom ROMs on the the AVD?
I see that its partially possible using the ROM from HTC (as shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4232807&postcount=9), but I want to create my own using builds from http://developer.htc.com/index.html or some of the ROMs provided here.
This will help me try and develop come code as currently the Android SDK's are missing parts like the Maps applications etc.
Thanks.
Not to worry, found it finally!
Its on this topic:

And on this post:

HERE IT IS
INFO
Now what does this do. Well people we all hate having to re install our apps when we do new roms. We hate having to using programs like astro it back up and restore well this does it all for us.
How to use is simple place the applications you want in the APPS folder
Place the un zipped rom you want to install the system folder
Run the batch file and it will add the apps where its needed.
If it asked to hit a key click D and A when needed.
Zip up the 2 folders in YOUR-ROM and flash the rom if you get errors try re-zipping the rom again and install.
Future updates i want is this.
GUI screen
Ways to get updated roms that will download for people so they dont need to do anything but select like the online rom maker.
I will be getting this a lot better once I get more free time it only took me about an hour to get everything set up. It will be better soon.
I want to thank jombeewoof for the updated kitchen.

CHANGE LOG
1.0
Bare can add apps to a rom and be able to be uninstalled.
1.0.1
Added kernel folder for custom kernels.
Batch file checks for existence of a kernel in your rom.
Option to choose the kernel that comes with your rom or one you've loaded into the folder.
Folder structure can live anywhere.
7zip added to build the zip. 7zip application included.
1.0.3
BUG FIXED **It has come to my attention that this does not work on XP due to the removal of choice.exe"
You can download the exe and place it in the folder. I'm working on another way to display the choices.
proof of concept to be able to pull kernels, roms, apps, bootloaders etc...
1.0.5
Currently mostly working, and now fully compatible with windows xp.
Also and express version that does not download anything, this is if you have already downloaded your rom and kernel.
That should work flawlessly at this point.
1.0.9
Little better to look at.
1.2.1
Choose a Boot Animation
Choose APPS
Wehn back to Moment only at this time.
HELP
Ok android guys I am over at SDX since I'm a moment guy but I have been really wanting to have a Android Kitchen just like we have for windows BuildOS. Looking at a few roms for the hero, moment, evo, and droid to me its looking like its the same basic set up for all roms.
My friend and I have been making a CLI kitchen but we would like to have a GUI screen like BuildOS.
So Im asking for some help with coders to help make this.
How we have it set up right now is.
One folder for the ROM you want
Another folder for all the apps you want in it.
if you want a custom kernel.
then it will make all the required files and ZIP everything up.
then you can flash it in recovery.
I want people to select what device they have
what apps they want
if they like a rom all the roms to that phone. that are updated every week.
Im willing to go around looking for roms for the phones if people can help me get this program up and running.
Can some people help? I want this to be a great as Build OS for use android people.
I'd like to have the app coded in html so that as the roms update it is a super easy fix. I have a folder on my web site with a lot of APKs that I can get links to also free apps no paid. And Im willing to even download even more if needed. Please help I want this to be the greatest kitchen ever.
First of all thanks for your hard work, I'd really like to see a kitchen like the Ervius Visual Kitchen for Android.
I'm no programmer, but if you need any help testing our whatever just let me know.
Regards

That looks like a good start! Very similar to the EVKitchen for WM. I did notice though that in your how to section on the first post it says to place the ROM you want to flash into the system folder, but there is no system folder that I can see in version 0.1.5
I have APPS, OLD-ROM, KERNEL, and YOUR-ROM. No system folder in the kitchen.
if you extract your rom you want there will be a meta-inf folder and a system folder take the system folder and place it in the old-rom folder. I just added a new version of the kitchen to have my friend look at and if so then you should be able to select a droid with a few roms and a evo option also with some roms. i will be updating more as i find direct links to rom not on sites like rapid share or mediafire places.

At this time im going to just focus on samsung phones since im not getting a lot of help from any one but samsung people. Once i get done with the samsung part depending on what i have option wise ill do droid or htc.
If you can code it would help me a lot as there are only 2 people and we really want this.
hope i can get this set up
I can't code to save my life, but I have a samsung phone (captivate) and volunteer for a tester if needed. Would love to have this.
Evo people are very helpful and they just put up an online based kitchen this could be helpful to that cause
ya i saw joey's kitchen go up about 2days ago. im trying to get him to help with a few things.
we did get the moment all set up now its just time to work on other phones. so for the next little bit to day i will be getting download links for a few more phones and add then to it. if you can help post up download links to roms. mediafire type sites some times have issues so if the rom uses it some times the rom wont download.
Ok so I was able to get some EVO/Droid/HERO roms/radios in this kitchen still would like to have a GUI screen but for now this will work. Uping tonight should have it out for tomorrow reason it takes so long is because im in the middle of the ocean on deployment.
just a question. can i add apps to automatically be installed into the ext partition with apps2sd
not at this time. thats going to be in the near future. we are trying to get a base of a few phones then start working on others
alright, thats still brilliant. keep up the good job guys!
Ok every one its out try it now.

MIUI STOCK BUILD PORT 11.05 PPP
Free beer and women HD2 Porting Thread
This is the latest build of MIUI for the HTC Touch HD2. It's relatively stock with a few minor changes for our HTC LEO. MIUI build includes all changes made from previous builds and optimizations for all of the new changes including:
iphone style launcher
iphone style icons
iphone style settings [much better organized system settings]
iphone style contacts, and screen effects
innovative new lock screen with music player
loads more MIUI goodies that have impressed me as a user
The default kernel is based on the EVO Kernel yes I changed kernels. The changes made for the git update have done wonders on backlight stability and battery drivers. There are some issues with the kernel (see post 3).
If the current build proves to be very stable (which it has been for me so far) I will include hastarin's r8 and some language builds. The translations for other languages are not available yet.
Quandrant Score 1614
Release Notes
Stock build, blocking ads is not in this release, but the process for advertisement blocking is relatively easy.
Creates a 1 gig data.img; first boot will take some time.
Rooted: superuser priveleges (SU is included)
Facebook is NOT included as well as integrated task manager. You can download facebook from marketplace

What works
WiFi
GPS
3g/HSDPA
5 mp Camera
Camcorder
LED status notification
Keypad notification
bluetooth
USB mass storage
G Sensor WORKING
WIFI TETHERING (THANK YOU DARKSTONE & CASS)
Facebook sync
The build still needs some testing; specifically in the bluetooth. If someone can report with their findings that would be ideal. If there are any other things not working in this build, let me know ASAP
How to install
Install is relatively easy:
1. Extract the 11.06.miui.lang folder [including contents] to the root of your sd card. Since it has a unique name, you won't have to rename it as I doubt any other builds has a unique naming ID.
2. Ensure you have at least 2 gig of space on your sd card (the data.img created is 1 gig which is NOT included)
3. Once the copy is complete, go to the android folder, run CLRCAD.exe and then HaRet. You will be taken to the HTC screen for a bit (about 10 minutes) and the rom will load.
a. If you get some strange error on boot, make sure you are using a new data.img
b. If the build still doesn't boot, reformat your sd card
c. If the build won't boot after a & b, please let me know in the thread
4. Skip through all android settings on first boot (you can set these up later).
5. The default keyboard is google keyboard. You can change this by tapping and holding a text area (sms, internet, facebook) and changing input settings to any keyboard you have preference to. Future builds will have htc_ime but for now android keyboard is good. I also prefer smart keyboard.
If you have a previous build
Ideally you should be able to drag all the files from the 11.01 build (including startup.txt) and keep your first data.img. Please verify if you have any issues with updating this way. If updating you may have to edit the startup.txt file in the following field if you're using the 10.30.miui folder:
set cmdline "rel_path=10.30.miui nand_boot=0"
or alternatively you don't have to overwrite the startup.txt file
your boot should load
The HD2 rom I am running is Duttythroy (and I have always ran duttyrom and it always gave me an excellent android experience) with 2.15 radio. It has never gave me any issues at all plus it is a good windows mobile rom [/shameless dutty plug]

Select Time Zone Bug
On first boot, you can't select time zone
Solution
This is a bug in miui itself. So everyone is waiting for an update to apply the fix. The n1 translators did what they could to correct it but this is an intermittent miui bug. Select network provided values and change the time manually in settings. This will change your windows mobile time

SD mount issue
If you are having an issue with mounting/unmounting your microsd card, try this (again thank you mccmjoon76 for the solution)
1.you have to down load the terminal emulator from market place
2.open it and type "su" and press enter. allow super user access to it (mine kept freezing so i backed out and re started it. You will need to type "su" again and a window should pop up )
3. then if anything was done right you should see a "#" sign were your about to type the next line.
4.then type "mkdir /data/sd" make sure there is a space between the mkdir and the first /.
5.if everything worked right then nothing should happen except it moves to a fresh line in the emulator .
if you did everything right you should be able to go into settings and unmount your sdcard from there.

Possible Bug
For the moment, none
Additional Programs Necessary for Optimum Performance
What's difference or advantage over other miui builds available especially the one I am using now 3.0 beta with 3 launchers
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It's a stock presentation of miui. Infinitybiff was the only build that really had a stock interface that was fast and relatively smooth, however due to circumstance and time constraints, he couldn't do it. After testing a quick 10.22 port I decided to release a 10.29 build. It is stock, pretty fast and extremely stable.
Also note the build you are referring to I also direct users to different builds that prefer a themed ui rather than a stock one.

excuse me but my device will not boot... i only se the green HTC Logo but nothing happents more....
please refer to the release notes =)
that's normal as it is creating a 1 gig data.img
be sure to read the first post and installation directions in full
SOO
Where do you find the miui builds the others your talking about. I am glad someone is finally starting to update it for our devices. Question is facebok sync working in this version?
sdcard in settings force close
Every time i go to Settings/Sdcard i get a force close. Anyone else have this problem? I need to Unmount my Sdcard to get Angry Birds to install correctly. I wonder if there is a fix for this force close? I have gotten it on all MIUI builds.

ok dude thanks for feedback. i will try it as i love the miui look. the stock version works very well as you can do virtually anything with it. don't like the stock clock though as that white thing looks odd. i am not a fan of the lock screen logo that gift box with ribbon. lol
oh that's changed...a lot has changed in miui
I remove the white clock and use tajm and battstat...maybe something to add in the next revisions of this build it is relatively bare bones. But as bare bones, you will love the changes from like 9.30.10 to 10.30.10
I think when its translated, you will all like the weather program. It looks like the htc sense weather but I'm sure it will be optimized immensely
wifi tethering not working
first off this build is great but the wifi tethering is not working out the box like u said i even tryed the apks but that didnt work is there any fix

can you let me know what apk you used to try for wifi tethering? I didn't include any htc wifi tethering but from 10.22 build it has been established to be working. Just let me know and I'll hunt it down
let me actually try and correct that and amend post 1 thank you for testing

Hey,
I was just wondering about themes for the HTC Legend. I have a stock Froyo ROM currently installed in my Legend. What is the difference between a Rom and a theme? Is a theme practically a Rom that we have to flash through recovery? If I install a theme in my Legend, does it replace my Rom I currently have installed? I was planning to get a Rom/Theme for my legend that has a nice style to it. (Transparent notification bar for example.).
PS: Can someone give me a good working nice style Rom? I wanna take a break from the current Rom I have to see what's out there. Thanks for the help. Sorry if this was a stupid question.
A theme is just that, a theme (try changing windows theme, you're still on windows!).
Cyanogen (the rom) has the theme chooser installed, which allows you to change the theme easily (no flashing, just install apk like normal apps). Make sure you pick an MDPI theme.
read more.
You mention you're on stock froyo, check out the guides on how to downgrade and install custom roms. Like this.
Thanks! Oh and I am rooted and just have a Froyo Rom installed is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion, the Rom I'm using is just an average HTC Sense Rom Froyo.
Check this thread for a comprehensive list of ThemeChoser themes. Make sure to pick mdpi ones.
