So has anyone on here gone into the VoicePlus Beta? A lot of people on there are curious if anyone has looked into rooting the img or extracting the Apk. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Voice...ash-the-Voice-Plus-Beta-ROM-Image/ta-p/325923 Even one of the mods has said he uses Cyanogen and was wondering if anything was going on over here.

why not just extract the apk yourself using an appmanager? the post to forums

Honestly...because I've never done it. ;-) I know not a really good reason, but between school, work and the fam...I haven't been able to take the time to learn. I'm hoping that over my next deployment (I'm in the Army also) that I can learn to create an app and maybe cook a ROM.
Interesting
I like the CityID and the call divert and call defer seems neat - hopefully better visual voicemail than T-mobile's other app.
I'd like to see it integrated in Cyanogen, and SuperD roms
its a waste, dont flash u will LOOSE ROOT
i pulled the system image
ok, I've been picking this up as I'm going... I extracted the nbh file and now have .nb files, but I dont know where to go from here...
anyone can point me in a direction would be helpful. I have SDK installed and can make and start a virtual device.
Ok, I'm loving Gingerbread, but m-deejay has been including Cyanogenmod in his recent builds, which I don't want.
I'm REALLY keen to work on my own Gingerbread build...but need pointers on the steps I need to take.
I want to use a clean custom Nexus One Gingerbread build, such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885784
Then I'll have to replace the Nexus drivers and stuff with the HD2 ones...this is where the problem starts...how do I know which files are needed for HD2 specifically?
And then I need to add/remove apps etc to customise it?
I don't want anyone to hold my hand, just to at least point me in the right direction, as finding this information seems to be very difficult, unlike Windows Mobile cooking, which has lots of good tutorials...even though I'd expect that to be the other way around
I taught myself WM cooking & dev, but this is a whole new ballgame to me....
Appreciate any help I can get...
I'll happily donate a few $ to anyone who can help me get a stock build going...
No one able to shed ANY light? Give me ANY pointers?
Like I said, I'm willing to donate $ if I get help to get a ROM built...
Good pointers!!!
Have you tried with this tutorial?
SEE THIS!!!
This is the best step by step guide, and there is everything you need to port/make good working ROM for LEO.

Yea I saw that, thanks...only problem is that it's an old build, and it's miui.
Where do I find the latest drivers etc? And how is a NAND build different? How do I package up a NAND ROM?
I was thinking the very same thing but when I started looking into it I got put off by the complexity and the time it would take.
Have you thought about just modding MDj's ROM, stripping it back to bare ginger and replacing the bits we dont want, this might be easier that building one from scratch.
Yea, it's a possibility...but I won't learn as much doing it that way...and I'd rather try to create my own than use someone else's hard work as a base, if you know what I mean.
I have time, and am willing to learn as much as I need to...I just need some pointers...there are plenty Android HD2 chefs now, surely one of them is willing to help out
It's really not that difficult. I didn't really like the CM mod either, so created my own stock rom. I'm now at the point where I got it all working. I don't mind to give you a helping hand if you really are interested.
I'd love to see this too!

Hey,
yes I've VERY interested...I'm hoping to get a stock-ish one together with my own little touches...maybe release one if I learn enough about it.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated...
Even to start with, a list of the basics...ie get ROM dump, extract xyz, do this...anything at all...
I just got back from a swim at the beach to relax, intending to come back and try to figure it out on my own with what help I can get from that page linked above...but if you have managed to get one together, thats even better
This might be of some use for windows users (I've successfully tried extracting MDJ's Gingerbread system.img with it).
http://android.modaco.com/content/z...-boot-recovery-system-userdata-kitchen-ready/
yea extracting is easy...but I would prefer to use a clean build to start from, rather than m-deejays...trying it using the guide in the link above with the Nexus S dump...having to use some donor files from m-deejays build though...still trying to get my head around it all
Well I gave it a quick try using the above guide, and it gives "NAND Kernel Open Fail".
I used m-deejays kernel, and put all the relevant files into the correct directories before making the system.img, and i put initrd.gz and zimage into boot.img, so I dont know what I did wrong...?
You don't use system.img on nand. You need to create a yaffs.img. Which I've never done before. I've only made builds the sd way, not nand. Maybe all you have to do is rename the .img after you create it. You should jump on irc, room #htc-linux-chat. You would get your answer in like 5 secs;p
NAND ROMs do use system.img, have a look in any NAND ROM, you'll see system.img, boot.img and the flash files.
Yaffs is the filesystem...I created the img files with the "mkyaffs2image" command.
(As per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897940)
I've made all of these but get the damn kernel error...it can't be difficult, lots of devs have released ROMS...surely someone is willing to help?
I'd rather not go into irc, as thats the dev channel isnt it? Dont want to be a noob popping in asking hwo to cook Android for the HD2
i think what would be a cracking idea is if someone were to create 3 "standard" kitchens for anyone to download and start modding with.
kitchen 1) desire / desire HD with NO mods
kitchen 2) Froyo / gingerbread with NO mods
kitchen 3) Froyo / gingerbread with Cyanogen included
they should just be 100% stock but able to build a fully working rom. This way everyone can start to learn, and its always easier with a complete kitchen and just as educational - moreso as you get to see the correct layout for files / directories and all the correct tooling is already in place.
I will add to davids "donation" pot if someone were to make these available, whatever david is willing to donate and i will add another $20 (US) or £15
Whether they be Windows or Linux based kitchen does not matter to me, but i believe that android being open source these resources should be made available
G
Your right, not thinking clearly from all the jack daniels. You do need yaffs tools to mess around with the system.img though...#htc-linux is the dev channel. #htc-linux-chat is where you go to ask questions. Devs don't even go in that channel. Just chefs fire the most part. That's where everyone goes to learn how to build.

Yea, something like that would be handy...but even to start with, I'd just love to know the basic processes needed to get a basic Android build running on the HD2, without having to rely on someone elses current build.
I tried the link above, and it did sort of help understand a little of whats going on...but this stupid kernel error is preventing me from knowing how my test build works/or doesnt work...
I mean I had too use m-deejays gingerbread dump to get some of the driver files etc from...but where does he get them from? Thats the stuff I dont know...
It's obviously not overly difficult as there are so many devs pumping out HD2 ROMs...would just love one of them to share the secrets
Cash - not sure ... depends on how much help I get, but I'm willing to donate along the lines of US$20 or so...

Is it possible that the img files need to be created as ext4 rather than yaffs? I know gingerbread runs on the ext4 system (where froyo ran on yaffs2) but I'm not sure how this relates to building the rom.
Nah, don't think so...not accroding to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897940
Ive tried a few more times but am still getting the kernel error...so I cant even test if my build works or not as it wont even boot...so very frustrating...
Lets break it down........
1st
Here's a brief intro I did a few days ago read it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897940&page=2
The above goes for any .img used with DAF, they are yaffs2 images.
2nd
The sensible option for a clean build would be an existing stock gingerbread rom on a sister device. AdamG just happens to make the cleanest Desire roms around. I've had my eyes on this build for a minute, check it out and see if this what your looking for. Oxygen v2.0-RC6
3rd
I've been able to unyaffs disect, reassemble and get some 'customized' roms running. They flash, boot, & work great.....but I lose root permissions. lol
I was acutally doing this with the 1.6 NAND rom of MDJ that came as a single.img
That particular file was just system.img & boot.img yaffs2'd together. After I disected it I was able to unyaffs the 2 images and edit/modify change kernels, etc. etc. The only problem I have run into is the root issue.
Conclusion:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd be glad to help out any way I can in porting a ROM worthy of our devce
Any serious inquries can be directed to my inbox for private discussion on gtalk .
I'm no dev and am in no way claiming to be. I do have some findings and that's why I'm offering my help. Cheers
I want to develop stuff for our phone. Is there something useful I could help making?
I have basic to little advanced knowledge of Java
I understand c++ except for pointers which I might want to look up. But presumeably not good enough...
I could make frameworks. If I only knew how or where to start and which files to edit for example. Is it possible to decrypt xml files or why are they not readable?
Compile it from the source without any touchwiz on it, just murder touchwiz from it roots. then release the rom. I will LOVE you. but add launcherpro ;P

Well, basically you can try different things:
1) ROM's - We have plenty , so not worth wasting time on that.
2) Kernel's - We need more, so definitely worth it
3) Applications - You need Java & XML Knowledge...
4) Developing from source (AOSP, CM) - Too much knowledge needed...
5) Edit Default apps - (Edit Smali, xml files )
And yes, you can decrypt xml files...
one good example is this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065452
See the HOW-TO...
And Please Dont Post In Development Section, Unless You Have Already Started Developing, Hope You Understand
I am also very interested in making performance themes which are as light as possible... And improving batterylife as well by making the theme as dark as possible while still making it very attractive.
When editing the framework-res of for example g3mod. Will I need to zipalign again? Or do I need to do some after optimization after replacing the files through 7-Zip?
I read I had to use 7-zip to keep the apk signed... I may be wrong.
EDIT: I think APK Manager is my solution! Thanks for the link!
Sure...
Better Video recording!

I have my stock rom from Samsung, which I downloaded with checkfusdownloader.
So what are the steps I need to take to start modding this thing? So I can deodex this and maybe zipalign it

Yeah you can do that.
Dont know whether I should put this here or in general.....
Anyways, I do have a laptop now. I can make mods etc, but I do not know how. What is the best way to make soft-mods?
What devs allow softmods?
What do people want in a softmod?
Any suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks for your Offer.
I recommend you to make a Froyo Soft-Mod, cause we've a lot of GB CM7 on this forums, will be great to see more Froyo's ROM updated.
Take (with his permission) Miroslav's Utopia to start.

Making mods without any ideas. It will be hard...

haha this should be in general Either way 2.2 would be good i think i made a hell to many for 2.3 But for 2.2 its rather hard to theme but for tweaks its still fine.

Well you can always edit png's in framework. You can use uot kitchen, dsixda kitchen, xultimate.
Init.d can be tweaked
If you want a complete ROM build you can try aosp froyo. You might use pcfighter / zice kernel .....
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium
Aosp froyo with notification bar togles, init.d script and ginger or some other theme would by nice.
When i created my soft-mod i didn't use a computer.
U don;t really need a computer to create a mod.
U just need root explorer. unless u want to create it into a recovery zip
Yes

Hi.
I want start to make Rom .
Where should I start *?
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
Start by making soft-mods. Get a Rom flash it on your phone, dont add any personal stuff like contacts yet. Put in some nice apps themes tweaks and mods and after that use CWM to back it up and it "should" be ready to share... well at least that is somewhere to start from.
Edit: For those planning to make 4.0 softmods maybe you can also see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680328 i know its from the SGSII but i guess the way to do things is similar. (just dont use the flashable thing from the mediafire link!)
I would like to give the rom tesla 2.3 support to the microsd with exfat system try several script eh even fuse tools but I can not reach, could someone tell me how could I support this rom?

@linusdan @GreekDragon do you know any way I can support exfat?

No have idea.
I do not know if you're asking about the contents of the ROM.
Just in case, I would like to inform you that the ROM should contain:
/system/lib/libexfat.so
/system/bin/fsck.exfat
/system/bin/mkfs.exfat
/system/bin/mount.exfat

I want to apply support for exfat cards I understand that it must be under your kernel which is GeniSys kernel
Is it difficult to add the following lines?

You have not explained what you intend to do.
Do you want to compile ROM or make a ROM port?
If you want to compile a ROM, read the TeslaOS sources and direct the questions directly to Ground Zero ROMS Q&A.
