Ok, so this is my first time building a rom.
I have ubuntu installed, the jdk, android sdk, and repo is syncing as i type this.
Where should I start my modifications?
How do I make it work with my device?
Do I have to clone the d2 repository?
My ubuntu for some reason wont detect my device when I do lsusb.. I think my cable is messed up causeI did see it like two times but then it just disapeared.
I want to try some easy mods and run it on an emulator before flashing to my device. Can anyone help me?
At the moment my s3 is running the latest version of touchwiz. I was running cm10 since like july just this week I decided to try out the new touchwiz version, I will switch back when cm10.1 arrives.

I'm planning on getting the galaxy i9000 when its available in Canada, but I was wondering how I would go about making custom roms for the phone once I get it.
a basic way to do it would be to just download an existing ROM (say, MCR's one) and extract the file. Delete/add the apps you want and make sure the update script and build.prop will still work. Once you're done, zip it, sign it and flash it. It's pretty easy.
...however, I would like to know how to build Android from the AOSP source for a plain vanilla distro. Some of the Samsung additions really get on my nerves, and I'm positive that a vanilla Froyo (or even Eclair) build would run rings around the stock SGS.
...anyone know?
Would it be possible for me to get Ubuntu Touch 14.04 on my captivate glide I927?
It currently has a SlimBean rom with clockwork recovery which works fine but if I try to flash Ubuntu Touch it won't work.
I was wondering if it would be possible for me to do this, and how I would?
Someone has to prebuild an image for us specifically - Ubuntu Touch is device-specific, like those Android ROMs.
And there's no 14.04 yet - it's to be released April 2014.

Okay, thanks for filling me in on some more info
Do you know of any Ubuntu Touch roms, or anything like Ubuntu I can use on the captivate?
I just wanna mess around and I know using a captivate glide there aren't too many roms but I can't afford a better phone and I actually like this phone for now

Sorry, no. As you already said, Glide has very few ROMs, and all we have are either fully-working stock ROMs that got stuck at Android 4.0, or custom ROMs up to Android 4.3 but with major or minor flaws.
As for Ubuntu Touch - you wouldn't want to install it unless your phone is not for daily use. It's far from complete, although a "stable" release was already out for Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. I flashed a build on my Galaxy Nexus and hell, I literally returned to my original ROM in 5 minutes.

Hey folks,
my Nexus 7 just arrived and I am wondering what the first steps should look like.
I am not completely unfamiliar with Android, as I owned a Samsung Galaxy a few years ago, but since then I didn't really have had any more contact with it.
What I'd like is to install a nice custom rom, which is simple yet good looking and has a good battery runtime, etc.
As far as I know the Google stock Android is rather smooth so it could also be a modified original rom. I'm not sure about de-odex vs. odexed. What would be preferable?
Can you suggest the best ROM for that purposes? Ideally it should have a readme on how to install
Also do I need to unlock bootloaders or root the phone in advance or does the custom rom does all that for me?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
daZza

WiFi, 2013 Version.
To start with I just installed the Google USB Drivers and that Android SDK ADT Package thingy (all-in-one with Eclipse, etc.). Hope that's right xD
Edit: wugfreshs' tool seems to be the way to go. However, I am still unclear on whether or not to update my N7 with the newest update? I just got a message that there are updates available...
Edit2: Well, seems easy enough to use. Driver Test was successful, so I'll just go ahead and unlock/root it. Would appreciate ROM suggestions though
If you don't want me be messing with it I'd say stock rooted is the way to go.
Odex files help apps load faster I believe, and Roms are de-odexed to allow customizations such as icons and theming.
I really recommend sticking with a stock rooted ROM. Android is so polished theses days I don't see the need to mess with a good thing.

It's basically Stock but with minor improvements (pre-rooted, init.d support, slimmed down etc.)
Well if I was you the first thing I would do is update my stock rom then the next thing I would do is root the tablet with the Nexus root toolkit toolkit provided by WuGFresh.
Use the root toolkit to install the USB drivers then to unlock the bootloader there to root your Nexus 7 tablet
After your tablet is rooted load up the Google Play Store and download the app multi rom manager this app will allow you to to install Multi rom which will allow you to install multiple roms on your Nexus 7 tablet and it will also install TWRP recovery manager for you as well.
When you have multirom installed you can add a second third or fourth rom without ever touching or harming your stock ROM. As for a custom ROM I just flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my Nexus 7 2013 model Flo WiFi only tablet. Just download the latest nightly to get Android 4.4.1 or you can go with 10.2 for a "stable" ROM but the nightly is working great.
When you flash CyanogenMod don't forget to flash Google apps the GApps zip file.
As for adding ROMs with multirom you can do a YouTube search for the exact steps...bit it is quite easy. CyanogenMod or CM rather is the Cadillac of Android Roms and looks/runs great.
As for others I would probably recommend AOKP I have heard good things about it...
Many people like Paranoid Android. I tried it but did not care for it. I did not care for the rom not being rooted, but that is just my opinion.
You can't go wrong with CyanogenMod ROM.
Hope it helps and congrats on getting your N7.

Thanks for all the help.
I've had the itch to switch my Note 3 over to CM11 for a while, but I've read that some of the milestone builds had connection issues with Android Wear devices. I definitely want to keep my Moto 360 connected, but I really want to make the switch to CM11, as well. Does anyone know if the latest milestone build of CM11 (M11, I believe) has fixed the connection issues that the earlier builds experienced? I'd also be open to using another custom rom like omni or AOKP if they work well with Android Wear.
Best option? TWRP backup, and try it. Or do some more research on your own.
I've seen some mentions of android wear devices in the Dev threads of aosp Roms for our device, you could start there.
I ran cm11 for two weeks with my 360 and had no issues. FYI, there is still no NFC for the n900t on cm11.
NFC not working doesn't really bother me. Regardless, I tried AOKP and I couldn't get my watch connected regardless of what I tried. I didn't have the nerve to flash over to CM11 since I was at work and had already wasted 45 minutes doing a nandroid, flashing AOKP, deciding to restore the nandroid (which caused a bunch of problems), then having to wipe everything and do a fresh flash of NF9. Maybe I'll try again, or maybe I'll just get a Nexus 6 once they're finally available.
So my wonderful OnePlus One recently bit the biscuit which means that I'm going to be going back to my trusty Galaxy Nexus as my daily driver.
Looking to run a stock version of Android, currently have 4.3 loaded on it. Is that considered the "best" version to run on it? I heard issues with running KitKat but that was a few years ago now...
I want something stock with no slowdowns that this phone is perfectly capable running. Thanks!
