Trying to figure out some jargon here. What is aosp? Someone told me once what deoxed is but it didn't make sense. Explain it again? Whats the value of it?
Easily Googled...but Android Open Source Project. Basically, all the latest Android stuff.
Via EVO on XDA app...

I apologize if this has been answered but I have been searching and have not been able to find a response.
Is it possible for me to install the stock froyo build on my htc evo? Presumably, I would be able to but would flash the evo radio's vs the N1.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance for the help!
CM6 would be AOSP Android Froyo. Not sure if its the exact same thing as what the N1 has but it is stock Android.
Follow the guides in the Development section to root and NAND unlock your phone, then on the step where you flash a ROM use CM6 (which is also in the development section) and there you go. Make sure to flash the appropriate radios and a third party kernal if you want.

Go to the Evo 4G Android Development sub section and loom up CyanogenMod, it's stock FroYo with some goodies, just please read the install instructions before trying anything.
Appreciate the help. Not sure what you mean by AOSP? Also, instead of the CM roms (which are very good, I have used them on the N1), is there any way to get the official google or stock froyo build running on the evo?
I apologize if I misunderstood your suggestion.
Thanks

AOSP = Android Open Source Project.
CM basically takes the Android source adds hardware support for the devices they develop for and compile it. So it's not as easy as getting stock/AOSP Froyo and running it.
Would this have the Android market and official Google apps?

No. It doesn't come with them, but the good news is there is a separate download called gapps.zip to flash that will give you official google apps and market.
I'm trying to compile a kernel for my Epic 4G. I can compile it then package it per the read-me in Samsung's tar file but, once i flash it with Odin i reboot the phone. Then the Samsung logo appears, then goes away and does it again. seems like it cant find the root FS. I'm using EXT4 and i compiled the drivers in. I have experience compiling Linux kernels. But this has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Also any tutorials would be helpful. Just trying to learn.
***Bump***
What source are you using? What rom (froyo/gingerbread)? Don't bump your own thread. Maybe visit the irc? irc.irondust.net

I'm using the froyo EC05 source. I want to use GB but the GPS still does not work too well.
Froyo is dead, and I never got a chance to use it.

Hey, I know there are already a fair number of threads out there on this, but they all seem to be for "n00bs" or beginners, which I am not. I would like to write a custom ROM, including comiling the kernel and all that other jazz. I get the basics of *modifying* a ROM, but what if I want to significantly change something? And I have yet to find a tutorial on how you can compile the Android kernel for the Captivate Glide. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I'm thinking about trying to just compiling vanilla ICS (pun intended ) so that I can get the hang of the process. Then I can do my own stuff and not be constantly worrying about bricking my phone.
Hey!
I have tried to modify JB 4.2.1 systemUI.apk to put the clock to center on the status bar but decompiling and recompiling will fail.
I have tried apktool if C:\user\blablabla\framework-res.apk but it won't do it, it gives errors and on Linux Ubuntu I have same issue..
I ahve tried to modify ICS's systemUI.apk by replacing the status_bar.xml file but it will nor recompile the .apk so I can't edit status_bar.xml..
What to do?
On Windows 7 I use apkmanager v5.0.2 and on Linux Ubuntu Lucid Lynx I use FJ apktools v2.4
whats the point on staying on stock if you're going to modify it anyway? modifying it is going to alter your ability to get OTAs. just flash a custom ROM that supports this feature that u can change in the settings.

I don't like others ROMs that is themed like an old Android OS..
I want everything to be stock and what I can modify when I want..
That's the point.
Everyone does not like custom ROMs like crap aokp or CM10.#

I don't even know what you mean by "themed like an old Android OS" because that makes absolutely no sense because all of these roms look exactly the same because they are compiled from aosp which is using the holo theme as stock.
There are very minimal roms out there that are left completely stock and dedodexed.
Just because you somehow don't like cm or aokp doesn't mean you have the right to bash them by calling them crap either.

These 1337 stock fanbois make chuckle sometimes.

you asked and I answered, if you don't like the way how I answered then it's your own problem..
I asked help to modify the clock on status bar and not to ask others to ask me why I don't use custom ROMs.

It's obvious that you can't do what you want to do. That's why there are developers, they do it for YOU and push it out to the masses so you don't have to manually modify line of code by yourself. I'm not a developer so I can't help you by that, but what I can do is suggest a workaround. And that would be to flash a ROM with this feature so you can just go into the settings and just change it from the clock displaying on the Right to the center.
No reason to get an attitude by saying CM/AOKP is "crap." Who are you to exactly call another group/individual's ROM to be crap when you can't even produce your own? Especially when these people are doing it for FREE and as an hobby.
When you get the next OTA for Android you won't be able to update anyways because you would of modified a core element of the stock ROM that would cause a failure on a OTA update.

I know!
But I like Stock ROM and I update my Nexus different way than as normally..
I wan't to modify ROM myself because then I can get that to the ROM what I need and not more extra that is in custom ROMs like tweaks for speed or custom kernel, etc.
I have always liked stock ROMs and I don't want to change to AOSP ROM, CM ROMs are usually buggy and updates to nightlies comes everyday with fixes and that's enough when I use CM9 and CM10 on my ARMv6 devices.
There's nothing wrong with someone wanting to overcome an obstacle and learn. That's how all those "developers" you speak of came to be. There's nothing wrong with him asking for help. He doesn't have to use a custom ROM if he prefers not to just because it's the answer for you, or because you have no legitimate answer for his question because you don't know. If you don't have the info he needs, then stfu and just move on.

Well said Zeinzu,BTW me also having the same problem as the OP..Trying to decompile the framework/mms/contacts/systemUI that comes with 4.2 rom are now useless.Any idea that anyone can give?Going to edit the status bar to semi transparent but decompile failed,Plus i can and able to extract it but all i need it to edit those xml files that contains some coding as i've beed doing to my previous rom (4.1.2)
Im wanting to give android rom development a go. I want to make a custom rom with an OOS base such as AccentOS and FreedomOS.
I know since OOS isnt open source, I cant go to github and get the files needed to build the rom. Im lost on how to get everything set up. I have all the tools to edit and build the rom but I dont know how to get the base. Anyone able to help?
Sorry if I said stuff wrong, Im new to android development so I dont know the proper terms yet haha.
All I want is a debloated rom without gapps with kernel-nethunter support.
Only f-droid.
Cry
@op Check the developers area.

Depends on what you are gonna do with it.
Check their threads and see which suits you according to what you want to do with the ROM.
