If you don't know where to start, don't bother lol. I looked into it as well. The android kitchen doesn't do anything expect add busybox root deodex and stuff. It doesn't turn you into a dev overnight lol. I just decided to enjoy what other devs have made

Porting a rom is a whole different story than getting an RUU for the evo 4g and starting there.

Google is your friend. There's a lot out there.
I myself developed ROMs for myself. It really depends what you are looking to do. You can always modify a stock ROM or Port another ROM. they all require a lot of work, but they are a lot of flashable tweaks that you can just drop into you ROM and have the experience. You don't have to write your own code. Not too many ROM dev even write codes. They just modify and edit. Good Luck and always try Google.

Hey y'all! I did a whole guide of using the Vanilla MMS app on HTC Sense, it was a SUCCESS! Soo now, I was wondering if someone could see if the DIALER on the Vanilla ROM can work with the HTC Sense ROM.
So basically, I am needing someone to Extract the Vanilla (or other ROM) Dialer and put it on the Sense UI ROM. Somehow, my phone has different settings, so I can do this myself.
If you find out, please provide the APK and a guide if possible!!
This should be fairly easy and possible. Should be just like porting the MMS on Vanilla to HTC Sense! I need testers! Thanks guys!
Hope you like my guide on Vanilla MMS on HTC Sense! thanks all!
PS. Is it possible for Vanilla Gallery to work on Sense UI? I will be testing this tomorrow, also, I will keep this thread updated! Thanks!!
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!
Anyone know how to BOLD the Title? I kinda FAILED at it! hhahah thanks guys!
I will test anything you want i HATE the sense dialer!

I can't remember now, but a while ago I used the contacts.apk and phone.apk from an aosp rom (don't remember which one) on a sense rom (not sure which one either, maybe it was Tainted Vanilla).
You can try ripping those apks from and eclair (not froyo) rom and seeing if they work, or download the old Tainted Vanilla rom (maybe even one of the new ones) and see which dialer they use.

maybe rip the contacts.apk and phone.apk from CyanogenMod-6.1 for Vision :: V6.1.0-RC2 and give that a shot.
btw: you can download the rom, un-zip them and navigate to system/app/ and grab the apk's from there, That is what I did for the vanilla Mms.apk
thanks Wheeliest! You never disappoint me! hah
Also, if anyone has CM and whatever kinds of ROMS out there, If they can post their Dialer.apk's or apk's related to dialers/phones that would be AWESOME thanks!

Cool! thanks for the support guys! A little mistake I did.. i didn't copy the Contacts.apk haha soo if someone can copy that and maybe the lib file like shortlived says! thanks guys! lets make this into a reality!
edited because i found my mistake....also any luck?
Here is what ive gotten to work so far... I found a replacement dialer here http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/59459-replace-htc-dialer-dialerone-vanilla-clone.html
Download that file there then take these steps
1. change file name to com.android.htcdialer.apk
2. get your phone into recovery and mount the /system
3. adb push com.android.htcdialer.apk /system/app/
4. restart phone and your good to go.
be warned this does not get you the stock dialer. This is a clone type app which does look very similar but it has a few bugs. the main ones being it still uses the htc contacts app to add info and whatnot. i will play with this some more and see if i can't get it to work better by changing over the contacts.apk however I see a LOT of things all tied together with sense so i'm not sure how much more we will be able to do. it might be eaiser to just make a better clock/weather/animations and drop the sense ui all together.
My god.

Uhhm ok first of all I'm not a 'PRO' at android manipulations or something, just an average xda guy, so please be friendly ...
I was thinking if is there a way that I can make my stock rom function like custom roms? Like have what most custom roms have to offer? I read that stock is always better than custom...
Also like my stock can have tweaks to lengthen batt life, make it faster eventhough its just stock. And also have tweaks like MegaBassBeats etc. just wondering since idk if I can flash those directly on stock.
PS. Im currently using Hybrid v4
You can follow kurotsugi thread to create custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590330
I always use stok rom and customize with some tweak, modify infitrams in kernel and add another work from other but still love to use stok kernel.

That thead made after i custom my rom. Lol.
But kurotsugi more better than me to write and his progres very awsome n more advance than me.
Actualy just use rootexplorer, titanium backup, cwm, and winrar in window enough for minimalis customize.
if you don't want to make an installable rom, you can skip that part. you can go directly for customizing section. you can follow chamatht post about deodexing apk's.
PS: thanks savie, but I'm not as good as savie have said. I'm just another noob here

sir what do you mean if I dont want to make an installable rom? and which part do I skip? I just want to make a rom or just customize stock rom and let it have maybe the following:
-bravia engine
-megabassbeats
-v6 and [email protected] support
-deodex (still thinking about it, since it looks kinda hard)
-merruk kernel (I think I read somewhere that it is ok with stock rom? not sure)
those are currently my target for this project... is it possible to have those on (modified) stock rom sir?
Edit: I just read your guide sir, and I think I can do it (I think), so I can customize an existing rom that I have now and put bravia engine + megabassbeats etc. on it? Btw, I have a ccopy of chobits rom so I have the files, your guide says "put be_photo and be_movie in system/etc folder then edit the build.prop" what do I put in build.prop to make it work?

you can go straight to the customization. see add_build.prop.sh inside megabassbeat. that is the script that you should add.

so the add_build.prop.sh I just copy paste the contents to build.prop? or is it supposed to be a separate file that I should just paste somewhere on system folder?

don't copy all the script. you'll need to copy the string and value for build.prop file. if you don't know which one should be copied you can use this one. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zf40rush0bdj1u2

Where to find the kernel?
What to do to the updater-script
And what to do with the build.prop

1. kernel. use the one from cm7 for a rom based on cm7, a custom kernel for stock roms for a stock based rom
2 build.prop edit any device names to gt-s5660 except the fingerprint parse release..... copy and paste that piece into the build.prop from a gio rom, its also in the guide
3 change updaterscripts asserts device checking, format and mount values and delete permissions that dont excist
4 dont do this if you dont know how to port.
5 never post any rom before testing yourself. we dont want devices getting bricked by stupid people that call themselve a developer

The problem with this is, he was following a tutorial to learn how to port
Anyway, I think Voetbalremco covered everything. Try to start with port from ace or something, those are prolly the most easy to port.
Also, you can always port a rom which has been ported before. That way you can compare your own port with the working port and check if you're doing it right.

porting from ace is nothing, just copy some folders and editing a bit of "text" files..

if that goes wrong already, you know you arent ready for porting yet
also, that whole tutorial is based on copying/pasting and editing "text"files
Yep, most important: test by yourself, and ask it when u don't understand something, that's how you learn the most

All ports need to be either edited framework to match your Device or replaced framework to match your Device.
When you have done this, you can call it a Pure Port.

Hi i dont know much either but i progressing but what i would do is start off easy as in getting a deodexed verison of the rom and adding small tweaks and changes like buil.prop, init.d, ringtones, then as that gets easier start looking around on how to edit like ui and scripts and system and adding various apps into settings and so on but if u want to really learn ask a pro dev or read up on xda university on how to build a rom
remember if u use someone elses rom ask first so u dont get in trouble
