Hey all! I've been real interested in developing my own variation of the Android Rom. Such as custom themes, my own boot screen and things of that manner. I do a little Java and have the SDK but I want to know how hard it is to compile your own working Rom. My biggest hurdle at this point is I have a an Xperia Play R800x (CDMA, Locked Boot-loader) and from what I see most custom Roms out there need Unlocked Boot-loaders to run properly or a lot of work to work with CDMA.
I've searched around the forums but couldn't find to much of making your own Rom variant.
Thanks for any future help!
I don't have any dev advice per se. However the one piece of advice I will pass along is this: make sure that what you post is your own work! If you do borrow anything from someone else, please get their permission first, and give credit where credit is due.
We have had a run of "devs" lately that take someone else's work, make extremely minor changes and then post it up as their own work.

The only thing I plan to borrow is the method of how some devs have CDMA working. Other than that, I will use the Vanilla AOSP Roms, most likely just 2.3.3 (Which I guess in theory I could modify my current Rom on my phone) or 2.3.4 (If Verizon chooses to update any year from now). I would love love to mod out Ice Cream Sandwich for Xperia but that is not feasible at this point.
The theme I really want why I'm off topic for a second is the HTC Rhyme "Sense" theme I believe it's called. It's truly nifty in terms of how it works.
You won't necessarily need an unlocked bootloader, that's only necessary if you're using a ROM that needs a new kernel, such as CyanogenMod or a different firmware level, such as from 2.3.3 to 4.0. That being said, you may want to check out Cola or GBTweaked or IT-Rom for inspiration. They're all available for the Locked R800x phones, and I'm pretty sure they all have tweaks thrown around in there that have nothing to do with needing an unlocked bootloader. I say "pretty sure," because I've only used Cola, then got my bootloader unlocked.
If you do make a rom for locked bootloaders, I believe it will need to be released in the form of a nandroid backup, in which case before you do that backup, you'll need to remove all of your personal information from it.

I think I understand this, so say I want to use 4.0.3 (Latest stable ICS build) on Xperia via Vanilla Android as my base Rom, I'd have to write a new kernal and that would need a unlocked boot-loader? Makes sense. I guess for now I will wait until 2.3.4 pushes since it will be a different setup on my phone before developing. Plus 2.3.4 has all the bug fixes.
Hope you didn't take offense at my input. And I hope you do dev something up for the locked boot loader set. I was one myself not so long ago. They certainly can use some ROM lovin'!

No offense at all. Believe me, I come from the emulation of online games community and see first hand how people steal others work and call it theirs. World of Warcraft, Aion, Rift etc all have stolen code and lost projects. EQ 1 & 2 are the only projects that have a single core / team.
I believe in Open Source and that's why I love Android. I just wish the big companies would see that too instead of not letting us do what Android was meant to do, mod to our hearts content. (In my opinion at least)
There are many ways to create a rom, if you want to create a CDMA rom, why not use your own stock rom as a base? You can dump your /system/ partition, make whatever changes you see fit, then pop it in an update .zip. As you update your rom, you will learn from experience and other members how to create better roms, how to decompile/recompile .apk's, compiling kernels. Ect

There are no custom ROMs because:
1) there is still no universal way to back up restore the relevant phone data (Trim Area, or TA)
2) there is still no custom recovery
3) there is no way to unlock the bootloaders for people with SIM-locked phones
4) there is only a certain number of people with interest and means to work on the three prior points.
You should be patient and support the people who are working on it. They'll do great things if we let them work

1) It's possible for now with Omnius - it officially supports TA backup/restore for MSM7x30 platform.
2) It's almost there. Check out Arc section - it works but with graphical glitches, but no files to flash yet...
3) I'm working with Androxyde on TA backup/restore tool in hex format. It'll make my progress on this much easier.
or better yet we should be trying to get xrecovery to work on our phones, doomlord and Z are trying to get it to work on the arc(they might have it working by now) once that can be implemented then we'll be able to do custom roms no problem
1) I cant wait
2) I cant wait

Some roms are prerooted, but you may need an unlocked bootloader for some(Just read rom thread), and another way to root is "fastbooting a kernel" like Doomkernel. Just search around. You will find it in Play "Android Development"

Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app
xda-developers is a great site for learning all sorts of tricks and tips. However, sometimes it's been excruciating trying to get straight answers to what should be simple questions. You can get lost for hours or days in some of these threads, and still not be certain of the answer. And some people just can't seem to resist giving a n00b a hard time instead of a helpful hand.
Hopefully, this short guide will lessen someone's pain a bit. This guide is intended for use primarily by those of us who own a Verizon Xperia Play, model R800x.
Basic terminology you should know before using this guide:
1. What is Root, and why should/shouldn't I do it?
2. What is a locked Bootloader?
3. Can I unlock my bootloader, and do I have to in order to customize my R800x?
4. What is a kernel?
5. What is a Custom Recovery?
6. What is a Nandroid?
7. What is a ROM?
Use Wikipedia or Google to get the answer to those basics before moving on. You need to understand the whys and wherefores before going further.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK - You're back, so hopefully you have a better understanding of what we'll be doing from here on out. This guide is intended for those of us who for one reason (money) or another (caution, anxiety or fear) choose not to unlock the bootloader but still want to do some customization. I'm going to gather together the threads you need to perform the following tasks:
1. Root the R800x - [HOW-TO] Root Phones w/ Android v2.2.x-2.3.x (zergRush Method)
2. Install a Custom Recovery - The easiest method is found here: [APP]/[RECOVERY] Auto-Installer 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2 (Locked/Unlocked Bootloader) 10/1/12 That's an apk you install on your phone and run to install CWM to the \system folder. No cable or PC needed!
3. Make a Nandroid backup - Turn off your phone. When you see the words Sony Ericsson, repeatedly push the volume down button to enter Clockworks Custom Recovery. Using the volume down button, highlight Backup and Restore. Use the Home key to select it. Use Home again to select Backup. When it finishes, congratulate yourself on making your first Nandroid Backup! Reboot your phone to get out of CWM.
4. Choose and install an alternate ROM The following ROMs have been tested by me and have been shown to work. Each of them is available as a Nandroid, so you will copy them to your SD Card in \clockwork\backup and then use CWM's Backup and Restore menu to restore them to your phone.Follow the directions as provided by each thread. NOTE: In most cases, these ROMs may be used on either locked or unlocked bootloaders.
- GBTweaked0 - the Basic Gingerbread stock ROM, debloaded and tweaked out with the Icecream Sandwich look.
-R800x with UK Firmware - 2 links here and both work. Verizon 2.3.3 Timescape works as is. UK firmware needs a little extra effort to enable the hardware keys Tutorial Fix R800X UK nandroid Back,Home,Menu, and Search buttons and the wifi which can be downloaded from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rps86s1qxbbe6vo
-UPDATE For the button fix above, I found that if you follow those instructions, your buttons for the gamepad stop working. Follow the tutorial but insert the lines above the line that says "# KEY_UP, KEY_LEFT, KEY_RIGHT, KEY_DOWN" instead. This lets both the front buttons and all the gamepad buttons work properly. (See my post in the tutorial for the total script.)
-UPDATE: Hogwarts has added another customized ROM called COLA just for our R800x with the locked bootloader. When Hogwarts says it's the smallest and fastest ROM currently available, he's not kidding! This is about as bare minimum as you can get, lean and mean. Interested? Check out his post for COLA.
-UPDATE XperianceIT has posted up another customized ROM, a variation based on Hogwarts COLA. He calls it IT-ROM
-UPDATE From KeiranFTW comes Darkforest CDMA Rom (3.0.5) - [ROM] Darkforest ROM 3.0.5 UPDATE | GSM 2.3.4/.62 | CDMA 2.3.3/.145 [WIP]
5. Return to Stock - Download Flashtool from here: Flashtool-0.6.8.0-windows.exe and the stock ROM ftf from here: R800x 2.3.3 Full 3.0.1.E.0.88 FTF
Please be sure to READ AND FOLLOW the instructions provided on each of those threads. I bear absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY if you do something to damage your phone.
NONE of these programs or solutions are my own work. All I have done is hunted down and tested these different links. All credit goes to each thread reference's OP and their respective affiliates. SOME of the people to be thanked are: DooMLorD, PaxChristos, KeiranFTW, Chevyowner, 216Monster, 007shark, odst0016, Leraeniesh, Androxyde, CrimsonSentinel13, Hogwarts, pvyParts the ICX Developers, and the Dark Forest Developers. Oh yeah, Sony (Ericsson) for making the phone, and Verizon for challenging all the devs creativity! If I've missed anyone, it's because I have a lousy memory and not because I wanted to shaft them from the glory they so richly deserve.
I hope this helps someone out. I sure could have used this post myself!

Hi guys, got nitro hd a few weeks later. Till now never rooted and it's still in gb 2.3.5. Now wanted to try something and thought of upgrade or flashing a roms.
So what I need is, should i go for official ICS or cm rom. And as I'm a noob would like a detailed tutorial on flashing/rooting.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Here's my suggestion of how to progress into the custom ROMs world...
1. Read about rooting your Nitro. Look in our Dev Forum for guides on doing it.
2. Root while you're still on 2.3.5 (to circumvent any of the stated issues with rooting Official ICS), also install CWM (ClockworkMod) on it as it will allow you to easily install ROMs.
3. Then try the CM9 ROM nightlies. It's fast, stable and smooth.
4. After you've gotten comfortable with that and have gone through a few nightlies...Then you can feel free to venture forth into the other custom ROMs (MAKE SURE you're familiar with making proper backups in case you want to revert back to previous builds/ROMs), or even the CM10 Preview builds.
Good luck!

Sorry to Hijack .But isnt it like a Pain to Root the Official ICS update ,wouldnt it be easier to root on 2.3.5 and install CWM and then flash ? Im not second guessing you ,I just got my Nitro HD today but been reading that the process to root ICS is kind of long and tricky.

You could be right. I rooted mine back on 2.3.5 so I haven't gone through any of the hassles as have been stated with rooting from official ICS. I shall adjust my original post.
Doble check.
OP double check your baseband version cuase if its 2.3.5 V10j ,it has been stated that its nearly impossible yet doable after many tries.
To be honest, I don't know more details about the android world. Can someone plz link the basics of android like cwm, adb & so I can have some basic knowledge about it.
Actually, I feared I would brick it.

If you wanna try the official ICS, get cwm from ROM manager. Then download honos flash able official ICS. Try it out, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, switch to something like cm9 or cm10 or hono's full throttle or honos aokp, the choices are endless, all you need to do is search .

Try the official ics before custom ics, it's WAY faster than official gingerbread, it's stable and once debloated it's pretty perfect as it is to me.
Then if you want to taste something else, try the cm9/10 but I would let them as a second passage to ics/jb.
For the official rom you can either flashing with lg tool (using the before - after rooting method brianlily posted here) or go with cwm as stated by rani9990, it should be the same.. the substantial difference is that if you don't put the cwm recovery before ics, then you'll need to go through partial unbrick process to revert back to gingerbread, because on ics the cwm won't be possible to install.

As long as it's a themed stock rom that you're trying to port, I think that you should just theme our framework-res.apk to look like aosp, by changing the images into drawable-hdpi folder (you should try using that rom's drawables)

no
r800x stock roms are aosp(but with sony libs i think)
Cdma GB is as vanilla android as they come. Verizon released the XPlay as plain as possible. The only thing we have from Sony is the play launcher and P.S.emulator.

Also the android b.a. Is in the framework-res.apk.
the only problem that i have in cola rom is data
if i fix that i can make the stock version but i dont know how
i saw something in galaxy s3 forums but it it breaks some of the things
Have you tried adding the telephony smali files to the actual framework.jar
i want to do that but as i said it may break some of the things

Don't get discouraged. It's always going to get harder before it gets easier. That's the only way we learn.... But I think it's crazy how some r800x users want gsm stock and some r800i users want cdma stock.

i would like a rom to install in my phone tha allows LOCKED bootloader, i can unlock it but i would rather not, ive tryed slimbean but i get black screen (wont turn on) and i dont want cm or pacman ones just one that will suit my phone and make it nice and cool... atm i have unlocked bootloader and to root i had to go to .211 kernel (from doomlord, cheers for that) i dont mind redoing it again but i would like to have something cool and also can someone tell me, whats the point in rooting (other then roms) thanks!
Well other than ROMs, the best part is you get access to your phone's every restricted part. You can delete apps from /system to free up space. You can use different kernels, you can even make kernels and use them. You can also apply many mods, etc which is not possible without rooting. You can tinker with your phone as much as you like. You can do build.prop tweaking, you can install and execute scripts and much more. Rooting is a whole new world, sir IMHO, after rooting only one can feel that he completely owns the phone
