Don't bother if you can't use Google or search XDA...

i searched but cud nt get anything....can u plzz help me out???

Search again. The forum is full of rom cooking info, and yet even last week a thread was opened about it right here. If you don't have the knowledge to find ANY information on rom cooking at all, then don't even bother. And stop polluting XDA with threads because you can't be bothered to search more than 2minutes.

to make your own rom you must first know how to program in c and c + +
If so, you have to fork Github repositories of defy cm

well..you can do some DIY based on CM7&CM9

[Hot!] Wanna Be a Developer AkA Cook ?

I know nothing much of ROM Development but I do have the basic foundation knowledge and I wish to commence in releasing a modded ROM soon as a start...
As a start can anyone give a pointer of the following :
1. Boot image ยป what is required to extract / modify ?
Note : Please do not re-quote as I will be making changes as we go along
So let us discuss and explore so that we can learn together....

I was thinking of doing the same andy. Asked cow to see if he would like to point me in the right direction.
I had to abandon my idea as new house i moved into i dont have any internet to work off so had to put my plans on hold. But here is what i was told what is basically needed for cooking roms.
1) Download Kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
2) Download your stock ROM
3) Extract system.img.ext4, cache.img.ext4 and boot.img from stock ROM, put into Kitchen's original_rom folder
4) Do this for SGW: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8&postcount=12
- No need to upse KezzaPlane's updater script anymore
5) Run ./menu in kitchen and follow the instructions
On part 3. If you want to use a different kernal( Oc one or simply Cow's oc kernal) please make sure to ask for the use of the kernal first and then use that boot.img and replace it into the rom that you are going to cook.
hi, thank you very much for the information, so far i have downloaded eclipse ee, and the android sdk but had zero idea where to start lol
i was so motivated when arco started and released his ics rom that i wanted to do my share as well, i have experience in coding in java but also wanted to know what else to do, then i bumped on this post, thanks a lot man!

Learning ROM development ?

Hi Everyone,
I would like to learn Android ROM development, but do not know how it is done in Ubuntu.
I have build CM7 successfully on Ubuntu 11.10 and would like to proceed further to develop ROM, but do not know how to ? I mean I know if android apps is required to be developed, then ECLIPSE is used, but, if ROM is to be developed, then how it is done ?
I mean, is there any eclipse like IDE (Development Environment) exist to develop ROM ? Can anyone guide me or provide me link how to proceed further ?
I searched a lot in google, but could not find any site which gives details on it. What I am getting on search is only setting-up the envirnment and compiling the source code, but nobody deals with how to modify or develop further on ROM.
Any help on this regard will be appreciated.
Edit: I found it, we can use eclipse itself for the editing and I think to build the source code modified, we need to proceed in the same way. Below is the link:

Thanks

[Q] How to make a ROM ?

How can I build my own ROM, or even just mod other ROMs and edit them ?
Download the rom and edit files.

... Download a rom and edit files?! If that were the case then even my pet dog could build a rom like arco.
The method is complex... way more complex. I've tried it and failed due to time management and unfulfilled requirements.
Here's a link to a tutorial... Why can't people learn to use Google these days...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690
To build one from source, http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/introduction-how-an-android-rom-is-built
Enjoy! You probably won't be able to last for more than 20 mins (unless you are really, and i mean really, intent on it)
If you were to download ROM files and edit, that will be cooking up some ROMs based on a "base" like CM. That you will need the ROM kitchen. The other one would be to build ROM from source like what iDelta mentioned, or you can develop one by yourself, developing a new source by yourself.

[KERNEL]Test Kitkat Kernel Files

So here are the Kitkat zImage and Modules for Q1000
PS. these are not appended with mediatek headers so they are currently not useful
Headers have been appended to the kernel and my Git repo is also up to date now.
I have tried to make a boot.img but it seems that windows doesnt like me, or our device :/
Installed ubuntu to do this extra work xD ( Building of kernel was done in fedora )
PS These files were uploaded as popular request to support developement
I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY KIND OF CONTRAPTIONS YOU CREATE USING THIS KERNEL ( UNLESS THE GOOD ONES xD )
This zImage needs to be Appended and then packed in boot.img to be used
But it is highly unrecommended to do stuff that may brick your devices. Just fool around with the kernel and you'll be good to go
Test builds of CWM 6.0.4.8 will be uploaded soon !!!

TG: @SELinuxEnforcing
Evolution (author of pulse) use BatchAPKTool to compile/recompile apk. Than he find some files (smali) and following the manual changes it. I explained very superficially, everything is quite difficult for a beginner there, and if it is the same f a mentor as evolution who will constantly help, it will be a little easier. Moreover, two people helped me.
