As the title says I will pay $25 to any dev that can build a updated version of posp.the one I am running is from july but I really like the ROM so its worth paying for.ROM must boot and function to collect the bounty!!!
2 things:
1. This is not the place to ask this. This section is only for roms in development. For any questions, requests.... Go to the correct section.
2. Why don't you learn it yourself? Its free to do so.

2 - if creating a custom rom from scratch would be that easy, nobody may ask here like the op. You must really have big knowledge to even compile a rom. Not saying about booting rom with all functions running properly
The other question is what is POSP?

How would one go about development of a custom rom for the Nexus one. Are there good resources, developers out there that can help?
Thanks - Dave
This is one of those things that just happens there are no steps and guide for being a developer, take a look at the stock rom and see what you can do.
You will be better off teaching yourself than having too much guidance. Plus trial and error happens when you play around with something..If you have your build envi setup that will help and you should be using linux on your pc, you can barely do anything major from windows.
Can look at this for an idea:

Hey, new to the forums, recently purchased a GSM Hero.
I have done some development for free software (think freedom, not price) projects, and have become accustomed to git repositories and structured development.
Upon entering the world of custom Android ROMs (at least Hero ROMs) I have been sorely disappointed with the development practices going on, releases on file sharing sites and the like.
On top of this, none of the ROMs available suit my needs.
This is all fine, as I'm not developing those ROMs.
I have decided that I need to start working on my own custom ROM, however guides and documentation regarding this process are in short supply.
It would be much appreciated if someone could link me to some guides to starting my own custom ROM.
I intend it to be a light vanilla ROM, with none of the bloat that seems to perpetuate other ROMs, I'm aware other such ROMs do exist, however none of them support all features, and even those that claim to do so, often require me to FC

Have you tried this one ? >[2.1] aychteesees-vanilla-cupcake< NOT the [3.0.1]verison ..this is still @dev
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...96/3-0-1-aychteesees-vanilla-cupcake-rom-gsm/
Give it a try [2.1] ! and tell us how it went ...
Yeah I tried that one, it claims to have full functionality, however I frequently had to FC various applications.
I'm downloading 3.0.1 as we speak, however I'd still like some resources on making my own ROM.
I'm interested on this documentation too....thanks

That's weird , I have used almost everything ( apps ) with that ROM [2.1] ... and never get FC's
Did you flashed from Zero .. I mean with all he possible wiping . inlcuding SD ext partition wipe
???
That is a MUST ..!
Before this gets too off-topic, I too would like to concur with what OP is saying. I'd love some info on where to begin with custom ROMs, and I think it would be great if we could create a community repo for code for a custom ROM.
This leads me to another question: all these custom ROMs that we see available for download -- are they free/open source? Like, do they have source code available? I certainly don't think they do, but if they don't, then aren't they violating the terms of the GPL by not providing source code?

There's Paul's (modaco) online kitchen, but if you want to compile by yourself, there's a plethora of gits on github (cyanogen, lokx, kiall to mention just a few).
Good question. Yeah it would be nice if there was a 'Cooking Class' thread on this forum like in some of the other forums. There is a decent tutorial however at HTCpedia.com under the HTC Hero ROM Development section, it's in the stickies there. However, I still have questions and that forum is not visited as much as xda.

As a start, I would read that thread I just linked above. Once you can dump the contents inside the system.img and then combine it with the boot.img to build an update.zip, then you are already halfway there - that's actually fairly easy. But knowing how to add custom kernels to the update.zip, making the custom ROM rooted, etc. are all stuff that I'm still working on. There's supposed to be a lot of info in the Dream/Magic forums, so I'll keep reading.
Android is still fairly new and very few people know how to use Linux, thus there's less support and less interest in wanting to cook for one's own Android device.
BTW, that thread I linked above is also found here.. Doh!

Thanks for the link, a good read.
Anyone know what the process is for using a custom kernel? There are a few things I'l like to enable that aren't in the HTC kernel (like FUSE).

If I eventually manage to find out I will post it here. My most important concern is making a rooted ROM from those shipped ROMs, as some people have been doing here.
Welcome to the Original Development for the Evo
4g
Explanation
This section is for original works of art. It is meant to make developers strive for something better and to push the envelope. Our hopes are that developers will work even hard to get their work in here and even harder to keep it in here. All roms in here are actively being updated and maintained.
This section is for a number of things
1. Source build of original roms- Meaning a build that is made original built from source and maintained by creator
2. Maintainers- Roms that were created by an original developer but they have moved on and another developer has taken over as the maintainer (with permission from the originator)
3. Significant ports- Port of roms that are a huge significant development (one port only)
4. Kernels- Original kernels with open source made public on github and 100% gpl compliant. Source is up to date with current version
5. Mods- Original mods made. No ports at all
Make Sure
1. OP is clean and clear
2 Kernel source is gpl compliant and linked to either the orignators OP(where source link can be found) or to the github of their source
3. All build information is stated. (kernel, build type, credits(with links), changelog, whats broken, and screen shots)
What does not go in here?
1. Roms that are copy/paste, kitchen created, themed copy of other roms.
2. Ports not deemed significant or that have already been ported by someone else first
3. Guides
If you think your rom from development section deserves to be in here then PM a forum moderator and request that it be moved. The forum moderators in the evo section with make a group decision and move it if agreed upon. This makes it fair for all.
Things that must be in PM to get consideration
1. Link to the OP
2. What qualifies your rom
3. You are the owner of said thread
Please do not!
1. PM the moderators asking that your favorite rom be added
2. Try and have old threads that were once original be added (looking for active development only)
3. Get your feelings hurt if your turned down. No one is against you at all and your work is very much appreciated
4. Accuse the Mod team of playing favorites. We are all here to better our phones and put forward the best of the best and no one will be denied based on personal likes or dislikes of a person, team, or rom. It is all based on the criteria set above and thats it.
There are no exceptions of the above guidelines.
5. Post a thread in here without the Moderators approval. It will be deleted no questions asked. I'd hate to see a whole thread get deleted and you have to retype out the OP cause I know how time consuming it is.
Hello Guys,
I am a developer of windows apps and I also do some web development stuff. I have also for the last couple of weeks been playing around with the android SDK and building apps for my phone. I have wanted to get into kernel development for my device, but I have had trouble finding a good place to start. I know I can follow the google directions and build a kernel, but that may not be specific to my device.
I was first wondering is there a kernel (Perferably AOSP like Cyanogenmod) that i can compile just get used to the build process. I belive I have already found that, it being this kernel right here:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412"]https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_smdk4412
(Sorry, Im under ten posts.)
But this is where the confusion starts for me. I see this as a base of a lot of kernels for the note 2, but I notice the kernel is for the Galaxy S3. So in short, is there a good way to start learning how to build and modify android kernels for my Note 2? If so, do you have any recommendations on what kernel to base of of, or any tips or tricks, or etc?
PS: I am a "Newbie" by the forum standards so i can't post in the dev section.

You might want to start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1896
Check the Matrix thread, devil kernel and Garwyn's experimental kernel thread. These might give you some ideas

Thanks! I have been testing around, but two problems have come up,
I have searched multiple threads and got as many dependencies as I could, but I still needed the toolchain. I got the android NDK, and used this guide:
http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source
I used the arm-linux-androideabi- toolchain, is that ok? Even if it is, is there a better or recommended tool chain?
Another problem I had is when compiling the source I got a "error unknown pseudo-op .arch_extension" when it was compiling the devices section of the kernel.
Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
R3liant
Optimus G Owners,
I am working on my first build from source. I noticed we didn't have an updated build of ChameleonOS 4.4 of this forum. I am fairly new to this and have a fully capable pc to build it from scratch. Problem is I need some help with building and some testers. So if your interested in a collaboration with this build please leave a comment or leave me a message.
I have in installed Python, Git and the Sdk and am working on Forks and Repos. If you know of any good sources or suggestion please feel free to leave the below .
Repo is in progress
should be a couple hours to finish downloading and about an hour to build will try first build on my phone to see if it boots. if so I will post a download link to try it out.

I'm up for testing. I use multiRom. That could either be a benefit to your testing or a downfall. I usually like to know and inform others that use Multi what any issues are.

Multi ROm? Yes, the app is not supported on our device, nor is the official recovery. If you are interested, I will link you to the xda thread.

Follow this and if you have any questions ask them in that thread. I will help if you need. Just don't want to clutter your thread with questions about that one.

well back to work, I hope I can get this Chameleon OS up and running I hope I will have it done by this evening.
Failure
First build was a failure. Trying for round two tonight need to figure out what's missing. Will check my sources tonight hopefully I can get this working. If not I will ask some question from the pros =)

The build failed, or the rom failed to boot?
build failed i think i figured out why
Think i was missing sources or added to many to my sync folder . Trying to clean up my build folder and make lunch.
Never heard of chameleon os, but I'd love to test
