[Q] How to ROOT a rom?

hey everyone,
I have rooted HTC Legend, I use Arabic, the current rooted original ROM for the legend does not contain Arabic.
I already have the Factory version of 2.1 that has Arabic support built in it!
I just want to use the HTC original OS with Arabic support WHILE my phone is rooted to grant su access and all the rooting profits.
Any idea how can I root the Arabic supported ROM?
Any helpings would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Peace!

I've been following that thread and was inspired to install ubuntu so I could join in the fun. This in turn lead me to updating my BIOS, & modifying my power supply to allow a second hdd. Now, I'm stuck at properly installing GNU make haha.
Thanks for the contribution Lithid. One request unrelated to CMC, could you post the tools necessary in ubuntu to compile an HTC kernel? EVO's got an OTA update to 4.67.651 Android 2.3.5 this included a new kernel and I'd like to play with modding it. I am aware this is above my pay grade so to speak, but enjoy the challenge of learning something new.
Once again thanks Lithid.

The thread has a list of needed tools, those will do. Also, remember it takes a while for HTC to release kernel source.

Ummm read the guide in the link lithid posted
We are legion, for we are many.

Yeah I did dumbass but I know nothing of the programs needed nor do I have a computer to even run them on. So ill ask again. Has anyone been able to compile CM7?

Well dumbass then you can't compile the nightlies you need a computer to do it ffs if you don't know how to do something learn if you don't have the tools then you can't learn this thread was for people to compile the nightlies for themselves alot of ppl have gotten it to work if you read the thread you'd know that, your question really makes no sense since you don't have the tools to compile are you asking someone to do it for you, being vague in your question then calling ppl dumbass and having a smartass response isn't going to get you a handout. I can compile from source, but with your response I'd tell u to shove it before I compiled anything for you

[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.

Not working on my One X as well, mayB compatible with only ONE ROM. An expert may need to decompile it, optimize it, and recompile it. Why dont you simply ask the person who made the ROM with this app in it?

Was this app cooked into the ROM? It may not work if it was, for the same reason that you can't just extract an APK from a Sense build and install it on other phones. Sorry, but if you couldn't to it I think your only option may be to find an alternative app

I have One X as well and the problem was the same on some Cooked ROMs I've used on my HD2 device.
The problem is the one who cooked the ROM is always offline and I can't contact him

Well, if you took it from another ROM, my guessing is that you took it from the ROM's /system/app directory. In other words "ROM.zip/system/app" which if that is the case, the APK most likely needed to be signed. As system apps do not get signed, so ive signed the apk and It successfully installs, but apon launching the app from the app drawer it says "No application is able to perform this task" so my guessing is there is another app that was on the original ROM you took the apk from that is dependant for Al-Moazin apk to run. So can you pleaase provide me a link to where i can download this ROM from and i'll see what i can do?

In fact Yes, I took it from the ROM.zip/system/app/Prayers.apk and the link to the ROM is THIS I've been using V2 where I took the Apk file from.
Thanks for your effort and good luck.

I'll Link you guys to Guides, Tools, and anything I can think of that you may need to get going in the right direction. Just remember READ, READ, and READ some more.

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 .

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
