Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to this, so thought of having some valuable opinions from Android Gurus here. Currently i am running Aurora V8 on my i9500; i am confused which custom kernel to install. There is Voltaq kernel, there is Haylcion's kernel and then there is LW kernel. So i really don't know which kernel should i install and is it actually any fruitful installiing the custom kernel.
So someone please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

If you don't know what the difference is, then you probably don't need another kernel.
If you want to learn more about it, then read the kernel threads and start experimenting.

That's a strange reply, i guess you skipped the part where i mentioned that i am very new to this and by that i mean i am knew to android development. So as per your answer if someone is new to any technology he should not ask for guidance from people who have little more knowledge in that particular field ???
I am myself a Linux guy for years; but i would never give such a reply to someone who comes and ask me "That i want to try a new Linux flavor or i am migrating from Windows and want to try Linux but i don't know which Linux flavor should i try" and i reply him by saying "If you don't know the difference between Linux and Windows you don't need it"
Rather than guiding someone in a proper your response looks more like someone who is so proud of what he knows. Anyways THANKS for your reply but it did nothing good to me.
His reply was entirely appropriate. While XDA apparently now permits "which ROM/kernel/mod/whatever is best" threads, the practice is foolish. The only way to really determine which ROM/kernel/mod/whatever is appropriate for you is to read the thread for it, install it, and try it out. In your case, you know the names of the three kernels you're interested in. Therefore you need to head to the development section for your device, find the appropriate threads on those kernels, and start reading. Then install the kernels and try them out. From there you can then make an informed decision.
If you want a guide - someone to hold your hand - you're not going to find it here.

That's not what I meant. I am guiding you.
In every kernel thread there is a description on what's included in the kernel. There is no best kernel and there is no better kernel. You have to try it out for yourself what kernel you want.
It all comes down to personal preference. So there is no anwser to your questions. We can't tell you what kernel you should install.
I never asked for the BEST kernel, but anyway thanks for your replies. Lets put an end to this question here only.

Getting ready for brickbats, I send in this query.
I have an HD2. I want to try Android OS on it. However, the information in the forums is quite overwhelming for someone like me, who only knows the front end of the phone. I have searched the forums for methods and which version to use, but end up getting lost.
All I know till now is that I need to download the Android file and save it on the phone and then run it. But which version(there are so many!)? What are things that work, and do not work? What all do I need to do for a functional phone after I port it?
My apologies if the answer to this has already been posted somewhere; please point me to it and I shall be grateful.
Please help!

Sorry mate, but all the answers to your questions are in the threads in the development section.
Just pick one and read the first post (realistically, read the first few pages). That gives you all the info you need on running Android.
Just go from ROM to ROM and read what's already been written about them, in order to decide which to use.
Thank you John! I will do that!
Seasons Greetings!

Hope it helps and happy androiding.................
hello im new to all this android moding but I come from flashing nokia phone. I would like to know if there is a ROM that looks like samsung original? No cosmetic mods... All I want is speed speed speed. Someone help me
1. Wrong section
2. If you want speed, stock firmware is as good as it gets imho. All these other "roms" are just deodexed variants which doesn't give you speed improvement just more theming options.
3. What you want is a good custom kernel. I'd recommend trasig's kernel. Been using it for a month now and its very stable.
right now im running
2.2
i9000bujp4
karnel- 2.6.32.9 root
froyo.bujp6
+ lag fix but my phone still lags in the apps menu
I wanna update to the latest version but dont know how (kies not working). So roms dont give speed? only karnels do? I also need slovenian language
Like i said considering we're dealing with closed source and all these roms based on same firmware, deodexing,zipaligning...etc won't give you as noticable a difference as will a different kernel
In ur case ur looking for a ext4 kernel. May i suggest voodoo.
Hello, I've been using darky's ROM since the beginning, and I must say that his 8.0 edition ( gingerbread ) is a hell of a fast ROM indeed ! Cosmetics is reduced to just the gingerbread theme, which is nice and gives a good feeling on SGS.
Hope I helped you with this one

You're WRONG. Newbs must exist. Noobs must not. And newbs should do non-newbs the favor of reading things like the FAQ before asking for help on the most basic things. We spend a lot of time making things as easy as possible for newbs.
Hint. Look in general section under sticky. Stock ROM's listed.
The modified ROMs are in Dev section.
I recommend spikes. Installation is in spikes 1st post. But better to flash stock on first attempt.
P.s. if u fight fire with fire u all waste time. If your gonna answer a thread then a negative response takes just as long as a positive response.

Hi!
I've decided to not open a new topic for this, since I have the exact same firmware as the OP.
The problem is, I can't find any information on this specific firmware, and I don't know if it's any good, or will I have to replace it... I'm hoping this won't be necessary tho, because this is my first Android device, and I'd like to start with simpler stuff, like rooting...
Which also brings me to my next problem: it says [email protected], and I have no idea what that means... Did I get a rooted version? Also, the 3-button combo for accesing download and recovery modes is working, and if I understood correctly, you are supposed to unlock it by yourself...
So, I'm hoping someone can enlighten me, and perhaps give me some pointers on how to play around with this amazing device...
Thanks!
No man.... newbs like me exists... i have low post count cuz i search and ask in specific threads before making a thread without reading first.
I know this community since 7/2009 and registered last year to participate instead of just leeching.
You can use google instead of forum search if you dont like it
On google enter:
[search term] site:http://forum.xda-developers.com
You cant even imagine how many answers you will find quietly.
Reading is better than asking same sh!t 100 times
Well, the problem is i dont know what to look for exactly, and its even tougher with the language barrier...
As posted.
Hint. Look in general section under sticky.

Hi everyone, i am graduating in T.I here in Brasil.
I know C / C++ Programming, Java (Standard and Android Programming aswell).
I was wondering,what should i need to start helping all great developers like Kyrillos,Rudolf,Apolo and their teams to develop those custom roms.
Also,how hard it is ?
Sorry if this is at the wrong forum,but i hope i can get some answers before someone closes it
Thanks in advance !

Hm, what exactly makes those custom ROMS faster than the stock ones ?
My bet is that the little ( and lower level , like assembly , C ) tweaks that make them faster.
Am i Wrong ? I really dont know,this is my only shot to be honest
Thanks again !
actually custom roms are nothing else then stock with a litle photoshop, some added/removed apks and repacked. they dont get realy much faster than a stock rom except if they contain a custom kernel, where the full potential of customization lies. with your knowledge you should concentrate on kernel development, there is a thread here describing all needed to get your own kernel up and running, have a look at the fugumod and the g3mod kernel thread to see what goals are already accieved and find your own customizations to make the g3 better. also u could pick up on the graphics driver project posted here somewhere, iirc nobody took the plunge yet to do this, and youd be the hero for many of us if u get it runing...

You really can't expect help whenever you ask for it, and if I knew anything about devving I probably wouldn't help you after that. Anyway, most devs don't pay attention to the Q&A section, so you're not likely to get too much help.

As the title says, I want to cook HD2 ROM since on every ROM I tried something was missing for me, so the solution is: I will develop my own ROM and share it here on XDA if its going well.
But, I don't really know how to start, I'm not a noob but not a developer either.
All I need is to know where to cook ROMs (I have dsixda kitchen and used it b4, but only for MAGLDR to cLK ports and some minor things, tried to cook with it but with no success, the ROM didn't boot, kerenl problem I believe...), I need to know how to start from scratch: grab base from somewhere, add / change kernels, add Aroma instalation etc.
The rest, tweaking ROM for example, I would like to know how, but too soon for now...
So please masters, help me out! :angel:

Google is your friend. Its where i got started when i wanted to develop. So go there Its not going to be easy, but at least you can say YOU did all the work yourself

Well there are guides for dsixda kitchen, you just have to use the HD2 source code for whatever ROM type you want to cook (ie CM9 AOKP CM7 MIUI SENSE etc)

If you are an up and coming developer (I am assuming) then Github or the best place to start would be from lineage os website and their guide "how to build for your device".
And ofc you would need all possible help from our lead device developers like Shivam Kumar Jha and Sagar for the device trees, kernel source codes and what not!! I have no clue.
The base is already compiled from AOSP by the respective main contributors rather head developers. You have to take the source code and tweak it/compile it (ofc not easy) for our device.
You asked the question to explain android customisation in general!!! Well, if you don't know that, then unless you are on NZT-48 or a really genius programmer, I doubt you can do it. (Also great if you prove me wrong here). Don't mean to discourage you.
Wouldn't we do it all for ourselves??!!!!!
For Android customization - the basics would be to root and go tweaking, fiddling and modding around on the stock rom first. Lots of amazing stuff already. (Why to reinvent the wheel!)
Then depends on your requirements.
Good luck.

I am trying the same thing myself using the lineageOS 15.1 branch.
I am using the directions provided in the lineageOS Wiki for the X00TD device (can't post a link because i am a newbie).
The instructions are clear enough but I am having specific problems with the brunch command - specific errors come up for missing files.
Is this the right place to start posting specific technical questions?
