So, I've been able to root and flash phones and figure a lot out on my own and with the help of other, but i always wanted to know exactly how to develop roms and apps for these phones or any phones.
I can follow instruction right now, but thats about all, i wanted to know if there was someone who was able to kinda give me a step by step or guide on how to do so.
Does it take a lot of learning? Do i need to take a class or something? C++? i really dont know but id like to know and would like to make something of my own, if possible. I dont really understand codes too well enough to even do the "hello world" tutorial on my own without the tutorial itself...
I'm interested in the ROM-building part too. I suggest Lithid's thread here and I learned a little here too on the Android site...

Hiya everybody!
I would love if someone could give me directions on where I can get good ROMs for flashing my brand new Artemis...
I'm brazilian, but I'm looking for a ROM in english with the best functions that people could get together....
I'm totally new to modding in here, tho I'm sorta pro in modding Motorola's MotoMING phone (my last one)
So if anyone could help me with directions of a newbie guide, I'd be glad....
I could write a newbie guide myself later on....when I lose the newbie status LOL
Check here for tips http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362
There are also quite a number or ROMs in there too.
Although I would definately recommend this one.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365312 .. great speed, very light so you can add all your own apps and customize it how you like. Generally speakingm, after flashing alot of ROMs to my Orbit, I tend to stick with Meschle's ROMs and usually stick to his latest Vanilla. Although as I say there are alot of others, depends what your looking for from the ROM.
Any other questions Id be glad to help. I also have quite a collection of prgrams n customiations n stuff if your looking anything.
Thanks a lot for the hand!
It surely will come handy! I got the USPL to go over the CID locking system....
The carrier problem can be solved by the carrier itself, at least nowadays.....
To tell the truth, I'm in need of some tutorials on the best programs to have, what kind of stuff fits well in it...
I work with game design, and I'm starting to develop on python....I was wondering if there is anyway to run python programs in it too...
Last but not least, how much knowledge is necessary to work with Artemis?!?!!? LOL
Hmm unfortunately I dont do programming n such, i think you probably be better off asking those questions in the artemis developement / hacking section
If you were to develop Pocket PC applications, you may use eVC (free) or VS2005/8 (more expensive)
No idea about pythons.
How much knowledge? Probably nothing or as much as it is needed to read english. All you need is to experience and experiment to learn.
Regards,
Carty..
@fubofo
Thanks for answering again, man! I know that not everyone is a fan of programming stuff....
I got the ROM you said you were using and I'm gonna flash it today...hope it works and I don't end with a 15 hundred bucks brick....
@Carty
When I said knowledge, I ment time spent studying stuff made for it and etc...but still the ability to read english is way too complex for some people in my country....
I'll take a look at the eVC and see what can be done in it....
I have Eclipse's SDK and Visual Studio 2008 here....any of them is good for it?
well I've just order this phone and wondering where to start.
First how to modify? I was reading something about codes?
Second the what kind of software updates, performance mods.
Third cosmetic stuff.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, possible a list of stuff you guys would do to your touch out of the box.
Read everything you can get your hands on here and the other forums ... then read some more before you do any updates ... then do it really slow ... ad a few things then test ... add a few more ... test some more ... once you figure out what you will use and what you won't ... read some more before you ever consider flashing a rom ... just my two cents
fuzzy
yeah thats what i planned on attempting, but there is sooooo much info on these subjects, and it seems like you just get taken to another tread to another tread.
-so i guess if someone could give me a good first and second step of stuff to do. I think by then can handle it.
examples:
-does the touch come with windows pro. 6.1 straight out of the box or does it need to be upgraded?
-what about the Rev A upgrade I have been reading out?
-Then I was reading somewhere else or possible on a youtube video, a guy adding some software to make it run more efficiently.
so yup just some basic questions if guys could help out, thanks.

touch has 6.0. can be upgraded. for how to: look here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473
there are plenty of 6.1 roms out there both here on xda and over at ppcgeeks.
become a member of ppcgeeks.com if you are not already, that is whats really going to help you. that is also where the youtube thing is. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6623&highlight=youtube
rev a upgrade seems to not be coming out for the touch for at least another few months, but ppl will be going crazy enough that when it does, you will know for sure.
feel free to ask more questions
but the best thing you can do is to READ READ READ (and that is what everyone will tell you too lol (well mostly)).
good luck!

I want to do a full root of my EVO and really don't want to screw it up. I am very computer literate but have never rooted a phone before and am new to all things in that regard . Basically I want to be able to remove all the Sprint bloatware, be able to load various roms and a few other things but most importantly, I want to be able to revert my phone back to complete pre-root stock if the need should arise.
So what I am asking is for one of the more experienced devs here to spend a little time with me on the phone and walk me through everything step by step, and answer any questions I might have and give me any pointers that I might not be aware of. I understand that everyone is very busy working their magic that I have seen just from lurking here for a while, and I am more than willing to compensate you for your time through paypal. I'm hoping to do this sometime within a week or so.
If anyone is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it.
Not to Burst your bubble or anything, but there are TONS of guides that will help you. Most of them are step-by-step.
Here's a good source for the guides-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC Evo Guides And Tutorials
If you plan to tackle rooting, I would suggest that you do it the right way the first time. Unrevoked is more of a joke if you ask me. All it does is create problems because the people who "Root" that way know nothing about how the phone works.
Learn ADB. The hardest part of adb is installing the files. Everything else is simply copying and pasting what the devs tell you too.
I don't have the time to walk you through it, and probably wouldn't be able to answer all your questions.
Good luck in finding someone to help you, if you attempt to do it by yourself, just post back where you get stuck and there are plenty of great people that will help you along the way.
Thanks, and welcome to the community!

Has anyone found any tutorial videos on how to root, install custom recovery(TWRP looks tough to be entirely honest) and custom roms?
It always boosts my confidence to see someone successfully installing custom things.
Also I have never used LG products and have no idea how to do basic things such as getting in recovery etc. I have experience with samsung phones but nothing other than this:/ Would anyone be kind enough to redirect me or make some tutorial videos:$?
Kind regards
Also if you are interested please show your support to this topic

There are highly detailed and step-by-step guides on how to do it on the board. You know they work by people saying that it did and the lack of threads freaking out that their device is thrashed. Please be thankful for what you've got and just read what we put together.

Wow. I do not understand your negativity, this would only help newer users like me and keep people like you having less to critisize. As for the detailed guides which you mention either I have not stumbled across them(in which case you could point out but you dont seem to want to help from your initial responce) or we have a different understanding of detailed step by step guides.
Either way if you do not want to help I suggest not responding and being thankful that you have the option to cary on with your schedule, reading what you feel is more important.
Thank you for stopping by and pointing out your opinion

As far as resources it mainly comes from doing this a bunch and reading the thread, the way I did it was different than the twrp thread in a couple ways, I'll explain in a bit

Just do research instead of asking others to provide you with videos. If you learn it yourself and learn the ins and outs, it'll benefit you greatly when something inevitably goes wrong and you can figure it out yourself instead of relying heavily on others. As you move step by step in the guides, if something doesn't make sense to you, just Google it. It's not hard when you get used to doing it. Not trying to be mean or rude, but if you don't want to help yourself, we can't help you.

i will give him one thing though there is a pretty vital command missing in the twrp thread to get it to execute, or at least from how I did it on every other device
here is a link to a video on how to access recovery via the 3 button method.
I recorded it with my phone so I am sorry/not sorry about the quality but it gets the job done.
also i can relate with you on wanting to see it visually, even as somebody who knows what they are doing, especially things involving button combo's I have a harder time reading than if i just saw a 30 second video on how to do it.
http://youtu.be/uo3YfszOPsQ
as for the recovery flash that's a little more involved and i already have my device rooted so if i did it, it would be from CM, and i'm not entirely sure if that would cause a problem (i don't think so though because loki is cool like that)

Dude get over it you seem to have far too much time on your hands.
I didnt ask for anyone to make videos i asked if anyone knew of any videos. Since you didnt want to help or still dont get off the bloody topic. There is no point of doing what you did. If you wonna be arrogant im sure you have friends and family for that. Im fed up with your negativity. If you didnt want to be rude you could of just said im sorry i dont like sharing or helping noobs and moved on.
Thank you for annoying me 2day I wish you well. And when you get stuck on something and require other peoples help on a FORUM They all redirect you to google so you understand what a joke your responce is.
Ps didnt mean to be rude. But if you didnt know the meaning of a forum now you do.

I will repeat again.i did not ask for anyone to go out of their way and make videos i asked if anyone found videos. That by no means says i am not greatful for the small and perfect video you made. Rooting seems to be very easy its the recovery that I am having doubts about cause it seems to be a lengthy procedure. And requires what seems to be a ton of commands
Just wondering if someone can point me to any tutorials for LG noobs. I've come from a lifetime of Samsung devices (odin) etc and am feeling a little shaky on the whole adb/command line front.
Looking for some of the common basics like safeguarding by loading system images on the root of your internal storage, kdz files and such. Some all encompassing information that I might need to know as I feel like I'm completely learning the whole root/rom game again.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows of something like this that they could point me to.

If you're onto root, follow this link, there are some videos tutorial in 2nd post..
I'm with you, I did a lot of crazy things with my Galaxy S4 but when I switched over to the G4 it felt like I needed to throw everything I knew out of the window. lol

I'm just trying to take baby steps at this point. Maybe when I feel like I've read enough, watched enough video tutorials and let it all sink in I'll actually bite the bullet and try to root.
I imagine it'll be anticlimactic and I'll wonder what took me so long once it's done. Nice thing about the samsung line was that I don't think it was possible to mess them up.
I was in your same situation like 2 months ago (coming from a s3). I'm not saying that now i know everything about lg world but ima tell you what i did the first 2 weeks after i got the phone. Reading xda topics. Reading twice if necessary (yes it was). Google everything i didn't know such as: what's a kdz? What's adb? Lg flash tool, lg_root? And so on. I didn't find a site with complete guides and dictionary for specific terms (if someone have any please provide it), all you need to do is searching. I've also looked at g3 forum.
