hi guys can somebody explain to me the process of porting roms, is it something that can be done in dxisda kitchen? or is it a linux only job?
I know some porting can be done in the dsixda kitchen, but the level of things like coolexe may well involve quite a lot more. I do see people talking about having to modify libs, so this could be / would be done when the rom is unpacked via dsi.
It has its own porting tools which using a base rom (similar rom that works for your device) you copy the kernel and other bits into the rom you are porting. I expect there is a lot of tweaking that needs to be done too though.
This is from my limited knowledge of porting though as I haven't actually done it.
cheers dan just wondered what it was really dnt think its something me and my noobiness will be trying soon!!

Hey,
I have always been using custom roms and wanted to know how it all was made and implemented.
Can anyone lead me to a tut or programs which help beginners in building roms?
I would really like to start building roms to gain knowledge of winmo.
thanks
Try some kitchen on ROM section
Is there a way to take the Rom I'm using and upgrade the sense to 3.0 myself?
Hey,
I am sorry to say this but no, rom building is not an easy thing to do you need the right tools and knowledge to put it together and different versions of sense run completely different and if you just try to change the files within the system they most likely will not be compatible and it will just fc! Best thing to do is just flash a sense 3.0 rom!
Being that it seems to me that you're interested in starting developing Roms why don't you start with this HERE and read thru all the guides and I hope you're on your way.
I'm needing some help and suggestions with using the right developing tools to build roms, de-comlpiling and re-compiling apk's, de-odexing and zipalign.
at the moment I an starting out with dsixda's Android Kitchen.
I am working on the new ICS release trying to create a custom cwm flashable rom.
thanks
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.
Hello people,

I saw some threads like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195858- which tells us how to customize a rom( a base rom). I want to learn how to build a good rom based on KitKat. I am a total beginner and do i need have some knowledge about java programming to build a rom. And do i need to have a linux os to make my new rom or can i use windows ? Please if there is someone who can help me with this please reply ! :good:
