[Q] ROM Developing Questions

Hi! I'm quite a noob when it comes to ROM development specifically for my Desire Z, so I'm hoping some people can clarify my doubts, and cure me of my sleepless nights!
Can I just download a distribution from the Android Developers website and use it on my DZ? If not, then how do I compile ROMs then?
Thanks in advanced!

Don't know anything about rom development, but you might want to have a look at this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Compile_CyanogenMod_%28Linux%29

Thanks for the reply, the link is on how to compile Cyanogen, but it doesn't say how to compile clean build Android for our DZ.

I don't think there can be a true "clean" build of Android -- to get the camera, etc to work there have to be drivers in place.
You can get close, though. Download any "AOSP" (Android Open Source Project) ROM and you have it. You can probably also make Cyanogen into something close to AOSP just by not including the extras CM provides.

Nothing. Not until they add the device. This will only compile roms for CM supported devices

What are the two ROMs in the Dev section of this forum (the DARKSIDE CM7 Hybrid and another nameless one)? I'm fairly new to this, so I apologize if this comes off as naive.

Someone downloaded the compiled CM7 build linked in the dev section, and modified it, just like the devs take the OEM roms, modify them, and flash them (think of the alpha as a stock Samsung rom, and think of one of the other CM7 roms as a rom from adt or team kang, just without making the original much better [not knocking team kang or adt in anyway]).

[q] aokp/aosp

Ok, Ive falshed many roms and have got to know many things about roms, kernels etc.
I'm still confused with one thing though....
What's AOKP & AOSP??
Ive seen many roms with that written and a few with Not AOSP Written on them.
Anyone Help me out here?
Thanks!

AOSP - Android Open Source Project.
AOKP - Android Open Kang Project.
An AOSP ROM is a ROM based on the Android Open Source Project from Google. An AOKP ROM is a modified AOSP with various tweaks and customization.
Kang is a word that is somtimes misconstrued to mean stealing other's work and to some it has a negative connotation. In reality though, it's starting with another's work and building on it to (hopefully) make it better. It makes sense that most devs appreciate being mentioned when their work is in play within a particular rom so that's why we often see a list of mentions when various tweaks/mods/etc are utilized.

AOKP Android Open Kang Project
AOSP Android Open Source Project
Just do a quick google/forum search for more info.

Thanks soumya_digi & zeeshansohail

But for AOKP is just mean the http://aokp.co/ project or all project based on a AOSP?
I mean, if I take a CM and do some change, will be a AOKP?
No right?
So AOSP are all the rom based on purecode, AOKP is just the aokp.co project.
CM is one of the AOSP
AOKP are just the rom maked by team kang, maybe also based on AOSP project..
I'm confusing.

I figured that even if late.

due to a PM from the XDA Staff yesterday I updated the ROM without Google Apps because it can lead to legal actions hope you guys understand...
You can find the Lightweight Google Apps in the Download section on the Codename Lungo Website

It's noted your not the only one. You could always flash the stock camera. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490000883

thanks for the rom
but something might be wrong with todays 8.11 update.
As soon as the phone starts the "led" stays orange or even green and the constant message "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" appears. Can't get rid of it.
Tried installing Sim Toolkit as some networks apparently require it (at least I read it) installed gapps as well.
any advice?
Edit: also searched the internet - they suggested to reflash boot.img via fastboot and I did. Still error doesn'T go away :/)
