[Rom Cooking] Lox-dev style

this is a link to a how to made by lox. its very helpful to those looking to make an update.zip to flash fro recovery (ie. a Rom)
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1404
enjoy and happy deving everyone

bump... now that everyones been root for a minute or two. maybe somemore will start building

I'll second that. I've been getting into cooking and I'm still developing a good kitchen to work with. Thanks for the source.

np I just hated having to hunt stuff down when I started and by the time lox wrote his tutorial I had already figured it all out. but I'm just tryin to spread the word. most assume this basic Rom cooking is hard. but this tut helps to make things easier for those starting out. lox is the man he gets all the props here. enjoy hope to see ur kitchen and maybe a Rom soon

CyanogenMod

I know this is developement section and i should not post like this but i want to tell that whenever i open this developement section i see some new froyo custom roms or rom upgrades with several new features , nothing more. I think it is enough creating roms like v1.0 then v1.1 then v1.2 then v1.3 and so on. Galaxy 5 uses enjoying cyanogen but we can't. All devs are in the race for providing better froyo roms but no on one wants to provide cyanogen, why? because it is not possible. If port of cyanogen is possible in g5 then not in g3. G3 is better phone then G5. Shall we have to satisfied only with froyo roms? All devs are giving their best but it is enough creating new version of froyo in every week, do something new, port CYANOGEN which we really wants.I don't know anything about programming, coding, i can't do anything but all u devs are able to port cyanogen to our device. So please stop doing like v1.0=>v1.1=>v1.2=>v1.3 and do Cyanogen.All devs please combilne at one place and give us CYANOGEN.

Cyanogen can be ported to our phone. I have no idea how can i do this, i may give it a try in summer but i will fail, it is sure. But i will start to learn coding, & kernel compiling (the basics).

Maybe a few of the devs come together, make a team and then work on this

m ready to learn and try

you are right but seriously its not EASY! you should have very good programming skills... and why is CM so good anyway? i would prefer MIUI port. when you say cyanogen mod i assume you mean the latest GB version? what is so great in GB anyway? i mean yeah its newer than froyo but still, i have my own tablet and it runs 2.3 (3.0 is coming ) and i dont think its that great... i like the edge glow and on/off animation but thats it. we CAN have the same features on froyo! and besides IF we would port GB it would take so much time that android 2.5 would be out already and then everybody would say that GB sucks... thats all

It's a lot lot of work to do it.

Hey, like u modify kernel with coding, cant we modify the ROM from the source files??not for cyanogen but to improve froyo better??

In fact, you must start from source files as you must compile all. No ?
In example, for gingerbread, I started compiling it from google source, but I'm stuck with libaudio library.
I took libaudio source code from sgs and I will see if I can compile them and continue.
In addition, you should adapt kernel 2.6.35 for the apollo device, and that's a big work too.
Or if we are lucky, kernel 2.6.32 could work ... I don't know.

I know it is not easy but please devs do something. If porting once started we will defenetily get Cyanogen.

The thing is cyanogen takes alot of time and there's no encouragement so I say whoever devs GB then I will donate £10 to them and I know many others will.

Before you must have a basic framework working and only that it's really a big work to do.

can't u guys make the screen on/off animation on froyo, that would be really cool

well do that as soon as the guy who already did that will release his mod

We shall ask motafoca for help, he does not have a sg3 but has a lot of knowledge and experience porting Gingerbread to sg5!
Once we have some clue or knowledge on how to start with we then can try/experiment ways to accomplish CyanogenMod.
Some proof for Sg5 having 2.3>here

As for people who want to port GB or Cyanogen flores said in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13132913&postcount=51 that he has already done work on gingerbread so i guess devs like apollo or other people who have experience in the kernel front can have something to work upon....... what i mean is there are a few devs who have mentioned about their incomplete works on Cyanogen/gingerbread, if an experienced developer can combine all their individual work we can have something actually working........

ok first of all dont take flores too seriously... he just talks too much and never does anything so i doupt that he has done anything more than looked at GB and said he can port it... i have asked about his project and quess what? nothing.

True is that we have too many custom roms, but changes only name and theme. We can customize everything in froyo rom, but we need to have some1 who can customize kernel! We have one kernel by our hero marcel and thats all! His kernel is used by every rom here. Always same:
New custom rom!
Same features as another rom
Thanks to marcellube for his kernel
We dont need gb, we dont need cm7
But
We need MORE KERNELS!!!

question for all! how can you ask for cyanogen if you wont help anyone? i have asked for people who know java (i know there are people who knows java) but nobody hasnt commented on my thread we could do it but nobody wants to help... all we need is some guys who knows java programming... so is there ANYONE? if there is contact me on this thread or my other thread in general section....

[Discussion Thread] BlackEditionHD - 7hr08ik Edition [Work In Progress]

First and foremost i wanna send my thanx and admiration to Crowds for his amazing work with this ROM. Everything he has done has been amazing.
I am hoping to continue the work that Ricardo has done and carry on the expantsion and updating of this rom.
But i am new.
This will be my first ROM.
So i am calling for your help. I need to know what i need to do.
-What proigrams are the best to use
-How has Crowds done this work so far? I know its a port of FXP and MIUI, with some ICS elements but which? Do i start with FXP then blend MIUI over it? If so which parts?
-Which version of FXP (7.2 or 9.0)?
-Which version of MIUI?
Basically i am starting from scratch with the whole ROM dev. I am fast learner, a fellow geek, and i want to do this right. Please bare with me because i may ask stupid questions at times. I just need help.
So far i have a few things to read up on and try out. For now im just going to be faffing around seeing what i can do. But my main objective is to update and upgrade the current ROM with the new versions of FXP and MIUI. Then once i am confident with it i have a few ideas of my own that i want to try.

So far i have these that im going to read up on. If yuou have anymore sugestions or and info for me....please send my it

Spaarc´s tutorial

The good combination will be MIUI\CM9, because its newest thing what we can get, but its gonna be hard to do, specially if you do not have any previous knowledge about porting, developing, so for now you can start with fxp CM7.2
First get stable ROM, then start with modification of same one,my suggestion.
cheers

Almost CM 9.0 FXP !
Because 7.2 is Old ,
You need New Source & New Design !

i get that cm9.0 is the new and best one. but obviously im new to all this.....so i wanna know which fxp crowds was using and just start my expedition by updating what he has done....i know fxp has released cm7.2 AND cm9.0 both with fxp106
As im new i wanna start by following the road set before me.
So far this rom is FXP052 and miui
but which miui? and is it already cm9.0 or is it just cm7.2? porting a whole new rom to the one will be a big peice of work and i am brand new to this

It's a great initiative and I really gotta add the importance of the RTL fix for Arabic & Farsi Support, as I've installed the BlackEditionHD FXP25-MIUI but none of the RTL patches work as I do even know which MIUI version is being used?
Regards.

For reference its galnet version of miui.
So try have a search and see what u can find. If u do let me know. So i can use it

OK problem solved.
Turns out i gotta turn OFF my kasperski before i download the file otherwise it detects as a virus and closes the file off?!?!?!
How hard would be for FXP to mention that in thier thread? i mean really???
Well now i gotta wait my hour before downloading the file again, and hopefully i can start work on this rom

Whatever you do, don't put paid apps in your rom. I'm not saying that's what u were going to do. I'm just concerned for new devs. A few people have gotten in trouble for posting "warez" recently, so... yeah. Just trying to help
Not trying to offend, and if that isn't what you were talking about then disregard my ramblings.
And I suggest xloud, assuming you could get it to work... Not sure what mods need to be done for that.

hey guys
The rom is working freaking awesomly, but i need some help with my theme.
The rom is fxp + miui blend, miui on top of fxp. I have the theme i want saved, backed up etc. And i have the script set so it installs with the rom. Everything is fine with the install process, but when i install the rom, the theme is applied, but the lockscreen wallpaper, and homescreen wallpaper revert back to their stock images and not the images i have set.....
Obv i dont want to see a hd pic of the seaside...i want the images i have chosen. Can someone help?

Well I finally figured out where the hell the dam pictures go!
I think I'm ready to release the first version of the rom.
I'll post the thread links tomorrow when it's ready. But first I got a gf to cozy upto

[DEV] Sense 3.5 Development

So after all these threads regarding Sense 3.5 which none worked out in a solution to having this rom stable and resized for our device i started fixing it all by myself because i want this on my phone so much. Anyone who would actually help me in resizing the rom and fixing any issues or providing logcats and stuff and be interested in the development of Sense 3.5 pm me. Development may take a lot of time but we don't have to hurry. Im not saying that i will be the one to fix it immediately, this is just an attempt.
This is the most functional rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564495

Why not submit the idea to TeamBuzz? I'm sure we could organize roles for developers in TeamBuzz to do something with Sense 3.5

Nice idea Justice, I can help with logcat and resizing, however i have no idea in how to fix gps,bt and wifi
@rayven18 can you provide a link of the most functional sense 3.5 rom for buzz, a list of what needs resizing, what fc and things that doesn't work?
Thanks in advance

Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564495 This is currently the most functional sense 3 rom. It boots and you can work on it. The bugs i know is the ones mentioned in the original thread (framework-res and com.htc.resources need resizing, gps and some services dont function) Because its based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.5, we can experiment with replacing libs and baksmaling services.jar and framework.jar and replace the code with the one from a cm rom that might make the gps and other things work just fine

Lol, 1st i will say good luck.
Now please dont take this as a nasty post but it did make me laugh..... You say " after all these threads regarding sense 3.5..... " and now youve just made another one.
Seriously though goodluck with any developments.

Kitchen for ATT LG G2???

Can someone please direct me to a working Kitchen for this phone? Also any hints or tips would be nice. I've done a bit of ROM cooking for Windows Mobile and Windows Phone, but never on Android. I'm anxious to get my hands dirty on the G2 and need some guidance.
I looked at the Kitchens listed, but didn't see any that specifically said they were G2 compatible.
Thank you in advance,
SuperSport
Needed Advice:
Dumping steps - Tools Needed
Working Kitchen - System Requirements - Hopefully Windows 8 x64???
Anything else you can think of...

G2 is too new to have any sort of Kitchen. We just now have a few ROMs based on the stock ROM.

How are the cooks doing the modifications to the stock ROMs to get a working customized ROM?

Completely different on android..... not really any cooks... eventually there will be alot of roms, and u find one with the features u like and use it, or build ur own from source how u want. Below is a link to info on really the only Android kitchen, but not the same deal as windows! Read up, and see what u think. If u want to learn to dev read, read, read, read..... and try and let go of ur windows based knowledge!!!
