[Q] Make custom rom

Hello to all,
i want try to make my self my perfect rom and after share my works with all community but...how??i'm a newbie of android but i'm a webdevelopper and so i know very well about development of application.
Can anyone give me a tutorial or a how to guide to make my personal rom?
Thanks to all!

the first step is to get a rom zip and without changing the "compress" mode....see the files and folders, remove apps, add yours, frameworks etc....if you want more download the dsixda kitchen (you need linux)

Head to the chefs sub-forum here on xda and make sure to read the links in the stickies!

For example I want to remove some apps from a Rom, I have extracted the Rom with astro, Is wrong?
I have latest ubuntu on virtualbox, is ok?

[Q] [HELP]Custom Rom Help!!!

I created a Custom rom using dsixda kitchen and all the roms work fine until i deodex them and add su permissions the rom doesnt boot and if use the boot.img file after building the custom rom i get a Status 7 error for the tmp\boot.img file
i reffered some sites it says this is a problem with the updater-script
can someone help me out with this error

yup...the problem comes from the updater script. you need to replace the updater script with the modified one. if you need to install only the rom (without the kernel) you can find one in my post. check my sig about customizing a rom. if you want to install the kernel you need to modify the script used to install the kernel. the other way, you can install the kernel separately with faqbly or mai77's method.

boot.img is for kernel and you can install it after installing ur rom... and yes, wenever u deodex ur rom it will show bootloop so u can manually deodex ur rom, if u add su permissions then nothing would happen.. another solution to make deodexed rom to work could be by replacing the META-INF from another rom. u can make ur kernel work by copying the META-INF from a rom which has custom kernel in it
SOURCE:i hav tried all this

I have installed the roms without the kernel but the problem is i want it to be deodexed and if i build a rom which is deodexed without the boot.img file the phone is stuck at the samsung galaxy y boot screen
can u put up a detailed explanation on how to make custom roms and all plz i really need help
i have reffered a lot of post but the only working method was of dsixda kitchen and
the roms only boot if i just rename it and build it if i add any su or deodex the phone doesnt boot

Thanks for the help i will try it out
and another thing can u insert the uot kitchen theme to the custom rom without acctualy having to flash it again and again from the recovery

don't forget to clean your dalvik-cache after install your rom. in most cases it can causes bootloop if the dex file isn't match with the apk file.

after getting the modded files from UOT kitchen u can directly flash them... no need of reflashing the rom..

I will try that and is the only solution to get rid of the bootloop caysed by deodexing

Open zip folder you got after modding the files after that copy those files and replace the stock files with them for
eg: moded.zip>app>xxx.apk ---copy
customrom.zip>app> ---- paste and replace the old files

thanks anyways

Sometime not all application can deodex in my case with ultimate deodex samsung keyboard n email can deodex. But when i try with dsixda kitchen email app can deodex.
Sent from my GT-S5360

^ he is right.. some apps cant be deodexed.. try installing the rom with no special features except su... then keep adding features one by one... dont put the modded files from UOT directly before flashing the custom rom cuz sometimes they can also lead to bootloop... first check whether ur rom is booting or not and then all kind of stuffs

if you replace the theme you 'must' clean your dalvik cache. please make sure that you also have delete systemUI.odex file in /system/app.

Can someone give a real detailed explanation on how to create a fll custom including themes in the rom and how to create kernel for that particular rom
and how to fix the status 7 bug even with other custom rom's lernel i get the same status 7 error some one plz help
and also how do i deodex without getting stuck for a bootloop

check my sig. you can also visit hell_lock's post about make a rom from kitchen. the only one method to solve your error 7 problem is by using meta-inf folder from other custom rom. for deodexing method you can see chamatht's post about how to deodex system app and framework.

thanks for the reply but these are the two posts fom where i actually learned creating rom and hell_lock also had this status 7 problem
so guys using meta inf from other rom should be done after building the whole rom or during the working folder step

you can find a meta-inf folder in my post you can use that instead if you only want to install the rom without the kernel.

Thanks dude but when i add the meta inf folder during zipalign there is a error and guys i got go launcher ex as the launcher but it is not the default one i get an option to choose and i remember that i deleted the launcher.apk file
And the alarm is missing in my phone after installing this rom

you can build it yourself from aosp

The format for each ROM must be one of the following:
- system.img + optional boot.img/lib.img (e.g. stock ROM or Nandroid)
- ZIP file for a custom ROM (e.g. update.zip)
- ZIP file containing *.img (e.g. stock rom.zip)
- ZIP file containing shipped ROM in SYSTEM + BOOT folder format
- Working folder made with this kitchen (e.g. WORKING_old_rom)

you can download the stock roms from here :
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
extract the image and move system.img and boot.img to your working folder.. should work fine just like it did with your S2

[Q] Why is there no Topic explaining how to deodex SGW?

Title says all. Or maybe i havent seen it?
I use stock rom btw.

Because most of us use already deodexed roms and who use odexed ones never bother deodexing it and the rest who wanna deodex thr stock roms just use dsixda kitchen.
If u wanna deodex you rom just use dsixda android kitchen

after installing and setting up kitchen there is an option to deodex your rom/working folder

to be honest ull face a very boring time while trying to set up the kitchen cuz it will ask for some other stuff to make it work then ull spend more boring time while extracting the stock rom to it if ull go that way but as soon as ur dn with setting up ur working folder everythn will be fine and smooth afterwards
2 notes for you: 1st if u wanna skip the whole extracting of stock firmware, just do a nandroid backup of ur stock rom and extract the kernel and system folder to ur working folder (but ull skip sm stuff that u may need to learn)
2nd set the api level to 10 when deodexing (i was a noob and it took me several days to know y i couldn't deodex my files using the kitchen), ull know when to change the api level as the kitchen will show you at the right time

well, thats a shame , where can i find it , there must be a way to get it or even to create it from the stock .tar.md5 one ?!!

If you want to start modding then search disxda kitchen
That also supports tar, you won't need to have cwm.

dr.ketan , first I would like to thank you for the amazing all in one thread and the modding thread , i have learned how to root and install a custom ROM from your guides , honestly , i love your work man
I have installed the framework from your thread and tried to extract the systemUI using a terminal emulator after i have rooted the phone , but it gives mee (ssh:no ta found) error every time i use it on any of the samsung stock ROM , and as you know without a clean systemUI i wont be able to start modding , and i have searched for a way to convert the .tar.md5 ROM to .zip or at least extract the systemUI from them but with no luck , all threads explaining it are sony phones threads .
To sum up , i wish if you can show me how to get this systemUI from the stock base ROM.
Ps, your MultiMod_V16 is amazing , thanks for that , i am planning to use some of the mods in it in my first experimental build.

First you need to deodexed SystemUI
That's why i have suggest you kitchen, with that you can extract tar and deodexed all app in one go.
If kitchen looks difficult then
find some img extract software, with that you can extract System apk from tar. later you can find any deodexer utility to deodex SystemUI.

Thanks
