Hello All
firstly, thank you to every person who already knows how to do the following. i love the work you do, keep it coming.
i was just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of how to make custom ROMS for HTC Desire.
every rom i seem to download always have loads of stuff thats great but always missing one or two things that i cant live without from the stock rom, so i want to take a look see if i can work it out.
any reading material you have would be great.
thank in advance

First of all, there is a little box on top called search. You where notified about that one when you signed up.
If you plan to publish your ROM/ROM's here, to cut it short do this;
There is a forum section called Chef Central. Read the sticky "Some Advice" in that forum. Then read the sticky on top of Desire Development. Then get begin modding the other ROM's available, so you get a hang of how they work. Then, cook away and test thoroughly.
Thank you for your help
i want to know how do i do to build a kernel for my htc desire, and ov/uc please thx
Try the Q&A section, where this should've been posted. Maybe you shouldn't be cooking kernels when you can't even manage to read forumpolicies
lol everyone learns and i want to learn how to make it just it

There is a q&a section on this forum, try there. This thread will probably soon be locked down once mods found out about it and most importantly, you won't get any help here.

Someone needs to take that ****e video off YouTube as it's harsh. How are we meant to build a community if people just shoot n00bs down before they know anything??

I agree noob threads are great, they helped me immensely.. but the android development thread is there for a specific reason and so is the q&a thread
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I've been noticing the increase of stupid questions for a while but more importantly, I am getting fed up with the aggressive nature of some of the users. So people post in the wrong section, move post with warning, end of.
Also if the ROMS were cross posted to FAQ by default then more people would end up there instead of using the search to find the ROM title and ending up at the DEV thread.
xda is getting a bad rep for their mods and i'm not surprised. . . .

Returning to the original question.
The prerequisites for rolling your own kernel are:
- A linux system
- Terminal Know-how
- A synched GIT (such as the Bravo CM7 branch)
- Patience
That is just for building the stock kernel.
The additional prerequisites for changing stuff:
- A text editor
- A set of OC/UV values (such as Eviolett's)
- Experience in the linux terminal - more than for just compiling the stock kernel.
It doesn't seem like a lot of work - Sync the GIT, chuck in a few values, and build it. In reality, however, there is a stack of other stuff to do. I have a fairly good knowledge of the linux terminal, but still spent a stack more time getting everything ready than I wanted to (hours, in fact).
As motivated as you may be, it ain't a walk in the park, even with a detailed set of instructions. Stuff is going to go wrong, and a lot of the time, problems differ from those prescribed in the instructions.
Having been there, done that (or more accurately, failed to do that), this is just my two cents.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I failed miserably.

Nice idea but look at Robo's "RCMix S v2.0 Evolutionary Sense" thread" it has a separate RCMix Guide/Tutorial/FAQ + 2 irc channels now have a look through the 12000 odd posts in that thread maybe 50% are total spam by people who don't understand how a forum works, fail to do any independent research but expect someone to hold their hand and explain everything slowly to them. I don't condone it but i fully understand the reaction a lot of "dumb" superfluous posts get
This. Simple fact is most people are incredibly lazy and thinking that devs are here to answer their every stupid question.

Must agree.. I spent probably 10+ hours researching before I flashed my first ROM..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I totally agree with fllash. It looks easy, but it certainly isn't.
Just start with downloading a copy of Ubuntu, version 10.04 and up will do just fine.
Why Ubuntu? Well, if you're only starting out with Linux and the more advanced topics such as compiling your own kernel, you'll need all the help you can get. XDA is a great community with a lot of information to be found, but it sure won't cover all the questions you'll have, so you might want to search trough the Ubuntu forums etc., as they might have more specific answers to your questions. There are also numerous books about starting with Linux, so you might want to check those out as well.
When you got a nice grip on working in Linux and the terminal, it's time to get busy programming!
If you're not a programmer already, you might want to start with Java. (Maybe write a little Android program? That way you'll also learn how Android works)
The Linux kernel is written in C and that might be a bit harsh to start out with. However, if you feel confident enough (or if you have programming skills already), go get yourself a book about programming in C, search some tutorials and start off writing some easy and silly programs, just to get a good grip on the language.
When you feel like you got a good grip on programming in C, feel free to download a kernel which is already compatible with the HTC Desire, one from CM or one from Thalamus (from Oxygen ROM) and take a look at the source code. Try to understand what makes it tick. Please note, that these kenels are for AOSP ROM's only! If you want a HTC Sense compatible kernel, go get the source from HTC which you can find here: http://developer.htc.com
By the time you got this far, it's only a piece of cake to compile and install. (Compiling and installing really isn't the hardest part about all this, so you'll manage to find your way out of this one)
Right now, you're probably thinking: "Is this all necessary? I just want my own kernel.." Well, yeah, it kinda is. You just can't follow a tutorial and end up with a kernel which is going to be great. There are going to be bugs, you're going to have problems, nothing will work from the first try.
Maintaining a kernel is hard work and requires a lot of knowledge in order to do a proper job.
Also, take a look at http://developer.android.com/. Knowing how Android works is kinda a requirement as well (at least, I consider it to be a requirement).
Oh, and for the record, please post in the correct forums next time. There's a Q&A section where you can search for, or ask questions. I understand that this is a dev-related question and you might have figured that the dev section would do fine, but unfortunately, it doesn't.
Okay? Well, happy learning! Don't let other forum members or some tough luck get you down.
Htc has yet release the most bad-ass camera of all time.The camera supports a lot of new features.here are some.here a youtube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9AmViR_twM&feature=relmfu
Much faster snap shop and focus
New Auto mode
New SmartShot mode (Takes multiple photos at once and combines them to make a better shot)
New SweepShot (Like Panoramic without having to stop)
New Clearshot HDR
New BurstShot (Takes multiple photos at once really fast)
New Night mode
New Action mode (to take images of fast moving objects)
New Macro mode (for close ups)
New Portrait mode for great portraits
Zero Compression JPG's
Improved Video recording
So i would love to see some of our developers work on porting the camera mod to the htc desire,it has already been ported to the htc sensation,evo 3g and some few handsets.Here is a link to the sensation forum where it has happy user http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295390
DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON.HOPE U LOVE IT
awesome, but works with desire?
Requests belong in Desire General forum. Let me see what dependencies it has.
No,not yet but i think our awesome developers are going to work on porting here that is why i wrote this.Lets hope so
It has a fair amount of work. And cant do anything unless someone posts the framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, Rosie.apk and Systemui.apk. I cant promise that I will be working on it (anyway not in the next month-exam season), but those are the files that we need to properly decompile it.. If someone can take these from the rom and post a dropbox link, I'll see if something can be done (if I get free time after exams, and if I still have my Desire with me at the time).
NO Insults
This is a thread a created for the porting of the Htc amaze camera to he desire forum.I wise dev like Droidzone has made an intention to do something about it and some haters wanna hate.I'm a cool guy who see insult has a thing for children so there's no need.
HEY DEV'S I WANNA SEE A COLABORATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS CAMERA.
HOPE TO HEAR SOME RESPONSES FROM OUR OTHER DEV'S
hey droidzone i think u would have to contact the dev of the mod.he seems cool and sure he will send u the necessary files.

That's not the point. If a post isn't in the proper forum, you ought to report it for maintenance. Flaming the OP/other members is not only an immature way to respond, it's a violation of forum rules against flaming, which is considered a graver offense than posting in an improper forum. You post once, OP and others retaliate. Finally instead of a mature discussion, we end up in verbal brawls over something so utterly pointless, and creates the chaos you mentioned.
Report a post and forget about it. I agree with you completely that non development work shouldnt be posted in the DEV section, and have already reported this thread for moving.
Hurray amaze camera on its way
fIRST ALL OF HIT THE THANKS BUTTON
A dev developer replied me that he has already worked on the amaze camera and has it in his rom.So folks watch out if everything works out it will be uploaded and the download link would be ready by tomorrow.
DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON.

THis is not a question or problem it is a upcoming mod that i and some are working to bring out
@sleeky, upcoming mods belong in Desire General/Q & A. Once you have a complete product to share, it should be posted in Dev. Though I took interest in this post you shared, I was the first to report it for moving. Dont you see that otherwise the entire thread is recipe for flaming?
we come from different worlds, we have different meanings. this is where it started, this is where it ends. if your opinion is as you described above, why have you even bothered yourself replying to my post?

if you mean 4.0.1/4.0.3 then coz ders is no camera drivers for them yet but the older version work fine
Would love to have the amaze cam working on the old Desire. I'm looking into it as we speak and found something that seems promising. Making a backup first to be sure, but if it works I'll let you know
---------- Post added at 03:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------
Tried it, but no working HD recording and Burst Shooting. Found a post about that while doing the backup, but decided to give it a shot. Sadly I got the same results using Sebastian15's Runnymede 4.0.2 SE rom. I'll be on the hunt for a working one
And the link promised has not arrived since
what does the technical word "port" means?
I'm not getting any notifications when receiving a text message on my newly flashed miui rom (version in title and below). I've scoured the internet, forums, miui site, google... all search results come up with old dates... old answers... old version problems and fixes....
if anyone has had a similar problem, or have found a solution, please post it for me, i'd really appreciate it.
As of right now, i get a pop up saying "messaging isn't working" and to either report to miui button, or an OK button populates. this happens when a text message arrives (so i guess you can say, in fact, i am receiving a text notification! ) just not what is expected with the new rom. here's my info: (and if I'm forgetting anything please let me know, i'll be here all day!) I DO, however, receive notifications for email, etc... everything except SMS/MMS.

Additionally, this is my first post. I've been a little nervous to make any sort of post due to always coming across people asking dumb questions, in the wrong area, answered questions, people getting poo on their face for being noobs... etc. I've been a root user for 2 years now and I didn't want to waste anyones time as I know you are all very busy, but i've been a HUGE fan of this site for quite a while now and i've finally came across a problem i'm currently unable to fix myself with a little experimentation... Thank you in advance if anyone has an answer for me!
Also, if anyone uses MIUI roms, i'd love to hear how it has worked out for you on the EVO 4G, as my past experiences have been rocky with this rom. i've tried countless versions, but always come up with some sort of error... although, it is my favorite in terms of customization!

Ok thank u for the reply. I will move it there. ...sucks being a forum newb! Lol
I need CM 10.1 mms inverted with Easy Selector like one in CarbonRom 1.7.....thanks!
http://www.2shared.com/file/nviJ5ZO9/Mms.html
No one won't help me?... Why?....... bicouse I am only fat boy?... here is apk file... Need be only inverted
Stupid life
Well... Some one is self conscious..
No one replied because of the way you demand.
I've seen your post once it was up, but didn't reply because of the following reasons:
1) you gave absolutely no information about your current rom (Sammy, aosp, cm), android version (4.0.4, 4.1.2, 4.2)
This alone is a great reason not to answer, because we need to know what version of the mms.apk you need.
2) but in my opinion the biggest reason is the way that you ask, you made it appear as of we (the fine people of xda) are here to help you on-demand.
Most of us here are simple users enjoying the work of great developers, moders and themers. They put in a lot of their free time to allow us to have the best possible experience with our phones, and yet some people make them feel as if they are here to do some sort of volunteer work for the mentally disabled (no offense intended to anyone).
My point being that it's appreciated when people, at the very least, search for what they want. It has, in most cases, already been created.
I don't mean to say that you haven't done any type of searching, what I'm implying is that the way you formatted your post looks as if you you haven't even bother to look for it without asking first.
If you didn't search, next time try to formulate the post as follows:
"I'm looking for a modded mms.apk from cm 10.1 with the inverted theme. I'm running 4.x.x and I'm on the xxxxxxx Rom (replace X with actual info) I've tried to search on Google and (somehow) I've not found it. Any help is greatly appreciated."
The difference between your post and mine is that when people read it they see a person that is somehow bad at searching the Web, but has tried, they see what rom I'm on and what android version that rom is running.
With that information, they can (if they so wish to do so) much more easily get the post that they might have recalled seeing it on and send you a link.
Those are my points, perhaps some one else can give you some more details as to what they personally think is wrong with it.
The people of xda (for the most part) are very helpful to each other, but no one wants to spoon feed some one else because that some one else is lazy to even bother searching.
I hope that this post has helped you in your future of xda (if you so wish to stay). This information works on pretty much any forum.
I want trying to be evil in any way, just simply trying to guide you in a better direction.
(sorry for any typos, but typing this much on a phone can be hard)
