For ICS I need someone who can mod a kernel.

If anybody can mod kernels PM me. Its pretty simple you just have to change two files but I can't get the boot.img open. So PM me if u can unpack a kernel.

Pm. Ecotox, cmenard, drhonk, Eugene? ,or Dr apocalypse

Tried every one if those except ECOTOX.

I will gladly test it if you get it running

You didn't ask me?
just pull CM7 from git & build your kernel with the following changes you need to it.

Creating a Rom and Kernel.

So as everyone has probably noticed alot of people have opted-out of the X10 community, developers and consumers alike.
I have this phone for another year so I would like to learn how to create rom's and kernels so I can contribute back to those who have help fed my flash addiction.
Where do I start??
Thanks in advance for the input,
Vader

I would also like to learn how to make my own ROM and kernels to contribute to the site and phone.

It won't come to you automatically guys .
Read through the forum , Read Read & Read .
Experiment things .. You'll get lots of headaches , But it'll be worth it .
& Then ask for help , There should be a issue to solve right .

Thanks Oodie. I didn't know there was an entire section of the forum dedicated to this as well.
Nathvader check this out.

Oh well would you look at that! Ok everybody I should have ICS port and kernel up and running by tomorrow...
hehe jk will start small thanks for the help Oodie love your roms btw!
Also good luck Dragon Outlaw King!

I believe you can develop in whatever environment/OS you want, but you will need a working knowledge of linux to be able to work on kernels especially and ROMs too (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

For kernel stuff I think you have to be on Linux, because of the required dependencies and libraries.

There's a whole sub-forum on this site for Android Rom Cooking, why don't you have a look in there...
Sent from my Snapdragon.

First u need a fast internet connection to download stuff(kitchen,sdk.etc)
Then a Linux machine(u can get it for free)
Then its not easy as u put popcorn in ur microwave and it comes out cooked
U need to learn commands(Different commands are required for different things)
Like u have to type many commands to compile(correct me if i m wrong)
And if u get errors their are different commands to solve that error
I know only this much but i don't know any command

I have windows

[Q] Where is the BEST place to start researching to make my own Custom ROM's?

I see a lot of threads out there to start making Custom ROM's. I was just wanting opinions on the first place to get the most reliable information.
I basically want to know what it takes to build a ROM from scratch or at the very least modify a current ROM.
I am currently running Nitrous v1.3.3 on the HTC EVO 4g.

For compiling from source, lithid-cm has a thread in the dev forum titled "wanna learn to dev correctly?", but I don't know if it's still active.
And I believe if you wanna modify an existing ROM, you'd wanna use dsixda kitchen.
Sorry, that's the best info I got.

Much appreciated. I'm nowhere ready to start on any significant dev work, but i'd like to try my hand at it after the first of the year. I know the basic basic basic basics of programming in general and i can follow logic well enough, its just time consuming to sit down and actually try it out. But i absolutely love the shift and would love to see things continue with it.

nice collection you got going on there prboy, im sure a lot of people will find this very helpful

Just trying to help out .

I would also link to baksmali & dot9 compiler, don't have links handy right now since I'm at work

The best Linux tool I've used is by Tommytomatoe called android-utility and I'm almost sure there is a mac version.
Has adb functions to push and pull,a logcat function uhm will do apks and jar files.
Another Linux tool I've tried was something along the lines of studio android and the last I checked that tool would set ones Linux box up to compile from source in a gui I'm guessing something like lithids.
Maybe a Windows tool to have would be win merge if it let's you compare text files and directory's to see what's different

Chk Ur framework or kernel most times problem in framewrk ...some time kernel not supported some init.d like hell lock kernet not booted if 99complete tweak present in init.d folder .. so i thnk problem in these two...!!
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda app-developers app

this question is asking the same logic as "why is my computer slow?"
there are 78,644,223,887 available reasons why,
i'd suggest broadening your "team's" knowledge of the principles and basics of the software industry,

Did you cook your rom with kitchen...If yes then youm must sign your rom and all apps inside it.To My thoughts the rom does'nt even start this is the most common case.Check whether your rom contains boot.img and build.prop as if Kitchen din't report any error.If you modified framework please sign it with Jarsigner and other modified apps also.Now sign your rom with kitchen and then flash it.....
Gud luck,
Im awaiting your rom..
optimusinc

Best I can say is try installing the modded apps one by one..c if they work..then test ur tweaks to b if they work..n finally make the zip file correctly by comparing to other zips..mostly probably u messed up ur updater script..

Thanks....

i understand that you are a budding developer,
however i've seen you making threads recently on issues that could be solved be either doing research and proper utilization of the search function,
if you really want to learn i'd suggest learning it the proper way by researching the basics and understanding how the android system works, making question threads won't help you at all and it never did for everyone else,
as you can see you need to look for the answers on your own,
considering google and xda has both a search engine,
please care to look into those matters which confuses you,
try first building your own updater-script and making a flashable zip file,
proper ROM building is not easy so i'd suggest keep your heads up and learn it the right way,
also,
people will just probably troll and ridicule you with threads like this
