So it's been over two years that I've been part of this great community but I have never tried to make a ROM for any phone. So today I decided to make a ROM for this phone, but I don't know where to start from. I have a windows 8 pc so I don't even know if that's a good system to make ROMs but I want to give it a try. I also want to theme it a certain way that I think everyone would enjoy so if anyone is willing to give me a little bit of their time to guide me into building a ROM, I would gladly appreciate it. Thank you

You need the rom kitchen and it isn't something you'll just make in a day

yea i know that but i just need to know what exactly do i need
Start by theming a few apps or the like . There are endless possibilities with systemui too . The problem with using kitchen,vts etc is that you wouldn't really know whats happening behind the scenes so i'd recommend learning to do stuff manually first . the win8 system shouldn't be a problem unless until you set out to build kernels or aftermarket roms like c from source

I was wondering how to port to the incredible. I have windows 7, android sdk,apktool,smali/baksmali, and 7zip installed. I need to know how to use the tools mentioned and maybe some steps for porting. Modification of apk, jar, .xml, .so files are a must when porting,i just don't know how. Can someone please let me know, even if you want to pm then please do so. Thanks. Oh, afa what device I'd be porting from, not sure. Maybe from the desire or n1.

Maybe a Rom kitchen will help. I don't have much experience in this area.
It's no bother to people, I misread. rom kitchen sounds about right. you could always just try and theme the ROM you like..
Thanks for the response. What I really need is to know how to use the tools I mentioned. I have a basic overall knowledge of porting but am unsure of how to use the tools

Developers are working hard on this. We are close. The rom I use has it ported and it only works to switch apps but multiview is still pending.
Freeza is s great developer who might figure this out before anyone does. Keep a look out for his rom

Can I ask why not? I get not wanting to go as far as custom roms, but with adblockers and access to the system and data partitions, you can do quite a bit without having to go for a full rom.
Well I'm just comfortable with touchwiz and honestly the last phone I had I thought I knew what doing and bricked. So I lost the courage just getting into all this so I'm a newbie...
:'( but I see all the customizations and would love to have them so I just wanted to take the easy way out and get some apks that would work with my stock...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app
Best way to customize your unrooted phone is probaly thru your launcher of choice... there are some that can be customized more than others, basically what your looking for is different themes/icons which you can find for free or buy in the play store.

Actually those can probaly be found doing searches thru xda,or google for sure.

Have to agree with lickarock. There's still quite a lot you can do without going all out like full ROMs. If you simply root your phone and load SuperSU (SuperUser), you can load something like ES File Explorer and do simple installs of apk files through there. You really don't have to worry about bricking your phone in that situation.
While I do load different roms on my N2, like you, I just wanted to get blacked out apps also. I'm running blacked out Gmail and Facebook currently, which I loaded through ESFE. Just make sure you uninstall the original apps then install the apks through ESFE and reboot. Everythings running smooth on my phone.
I've had a few scares loading different ROMs where my phone wouldn't boot up and I thought I maybe bricked my phone.......luckily I got it back up and running. Battery pulls suck.......lol
Just be sure to read through all the posts that you find which interest you. Typically, people post issues they are having and possible fixes. If you want to run different roms or something later, just be sure your phone is running the correct specs for it, ie....your baseband version is MA7 vs MC2, not all roms are compatible with multiple versions.
Okay I think I will go that route... ? Say I root it, and 4.2 finally makes its way ota will it still hit my phone or will I have to unrooted in order to get it?

You would have to either unroot, or wait for a dev to put out a stock rooted version as far as I know..

What spary said! You're really better off just waiting for one of the devs to roll the updates out.
Again....read the threads all the way through and if you still have questions, do a SEARCH and see if you can find your answers.......if you can't find after searches, don't be afraid to ask ?s.

If you want a brick-proof(ish) method to get a Root, just Odin a full rooted restore to your phone. Such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241136. Its about as mindless and safe as you can get.

If you choose not to root, there are still several ways to have a highly customized phone.
Personally, I am a fan of rooting. I have rooted every android phone I have had except my Note 2. Long story short, I bought my Note 2 through my business and cannot afford to run into any headaches that can sometimes pop up even to the most experienced flasher. I will say the Note 2 is also the first android phone that I haven't felt the need to root for increased performance. CPU, RAM, Battery life, this phone has all three for days.
I created a thread dedicated to creating a custom look without root. And in many ways this is the most custom phone I've ever had.

It's a work in progress and I am adding more and more stuff all the time.

For a blacked out messaging app you might check out Go SMS Pro. There are downloadable themes and you can make your own.

Thank you that's very informative... I really enjoy touchwiz but I just want to root to remove the system apps that prevent me from installing the blackout apps I want like gmail, playstore, ect... And get rid of the ones I don't want or use but I still want the ota's and touchwiz and thanks to the people in this thread is figured out how to customize it exactly how I want it... Thank You all of you!!!!

Just root! I was new to samsung and odin with the gn2 and I swear its simple and worth it! You can then go with custom sized touchwiz launcher that you know and want, but looks more appropriate and utilizes the size of the display properly!

Sorry, a bit out of my zone.
I did some deodexing several years ago on my Galaxy S II, but I don't remember much about it... except that you've got to basically repackage every APK and remove its .odex file... or something like that. The payoff is something to do with Dalvik cache and being able to easily modify the apk's... Or something like that...
Yeah, I'm really, really out-of-the-loop on deodexing these days. Sorry!

I got a basic deodexed stock done with some build prop tweeks working, but that's about it for the time being... working on more, but my schedule is full for the time being, this being just a side hobby after my art, school, work, side business, dealing with probation.... so time is very limited, just bought a car so that should add more time to my schedule. I have a pretty modded rom done, but it has a few bugs I need to figure out, hard part is when I take time off I forget where I left off, and basically start from stock again.

Well, I have built a fully modded rom. It has all the bells and whistles, then some. I will be sending it to @SICKMADE for him to do as he pleases.
Best thing to do when you build a rom is to take notes until you have done it enough times until it's like clockwork.
school once again is kicking my ass, just bought a car too and have been working on that. going to see what I can do with the new update, just been running my simple rom with nothing really special, as most mods cause errors for me and since i dont work on it constantly I forget where I left off... the mind of someone with ADHD...
