Hello together,
I want to learn how to cook ROMs for the Herald. Could anybody tell me how to do this? This would be very nice if anybody got the time. I know it's a lot of work, but i want to learn and do something for the forum. I'm really interested in. Thanks.

I gotta remake the whole walkthrough that I had created once. It has changed a LOT since I wrote that... The only person that even remotely knows the way that I currently do it is the author of pepperland.
It's not that hard once you understand the concept...
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to write up the right up at the moment.
Allright, thank u anyway. Some of u got the knowledge and i really want to learn. But it takes a lot of time so i can understand u that u can't teach me at this time. Perhaps someday i can do this, i hope so. I'm sorry if my english is not perfect enough. I know that u do a lot of work for everyone in this forum. I thank u very much for ur ROMS, they r awesome. It's really cool to have WM6.5 on my device

Hey, one of my friends wants me to put WM6.5 on their Kaiser for them, and i'd like to cook up her own custom ROM for it if i can, but i have NO clue how to. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial and tools or explain how to do this for me? I really do enjoy doing stuff like this, and i'm a pretty fast learner, so it shouldn't be too much of a challenge for me.... i hope
Thanks in advance
Might be a good idea to read the first page of Kaiser ROM forum as you will find what your looking for.....
Also WIKI is a good source of information...
No need to make a new thread.

So you think that you are ready to cook a rom, but you can't even do a simple search of one page ?

Hmmm.... i feel smart lol
Anyway, thanks, i skimmed through and didn't see anything... guess that's what i get for skimming lol
Download JoshKoss and TPC noob kicthen and play with it. Cooking is not a simple process! It all comes through reading, flashing and some programming knowledge! If you do not have any clue about WM devices, then you are better off looking for a cooked ROM. Just my two cents!
I have an LG Incite myself, and i love to play around with stuff, i just odn't have a CLUE about HTC devices lol
Are there any sites that explain in detail how to build an Andriod ROM, I've googled it, but nothing of any relavence. I want to learn how to build one.
interesting as well. Waiting some BIG guy to give a guide.
It would be nice, Maybe like a complete kitchen ala WM.
Former WinMo ROM builder (Touch Pro) and looking for the same info.
snag JF's 1.51 build environment from here:
http://jf.andblogs.net/2009/05/24/jfv151-images-are-out/
that will at least point you in the right direction.
you can always modify an existing update.zip and resign it using the testsign.jar tool
i'd love to see a step by step guide as well
A guide would be realy helpful, and greatly appreciated! Been experimenting on my own, but I'd love to see a Ion build enviornment.
Wow, so it looks like we are all making an official request for someone to put together a "Roms for Dummies" or similar..... Who's got the pull to make this happen, lol
there's cyanogenized rogers, a very good sample to start with

I'm a Herald cook, and I would also love to learn this.
Making ROMs for WM devices is so limited, I'm looking forward to this.
This would be awesome... I know just enough to be dangerous... but would rather have some sort of guide to get things going right.
I would have to agree with everyone above me, having some sort of step-by-step guide with a list of necessary tools would be very handy to have. Especially for someone who's just starting out and no idea what certain things do.
I would appreciate some kind of basic tutorial in this direction, too.
I have just been a little confused about how to resign an update.zip if I want to change any files inside of it, and then rezip.
Well.... Lets see if we can't get a Mod to come up with a cool idea of appointing someone who knows what they are doing (i.e. NOT ME), or themselves to collect everyone's pieces, and put them all together into a newb friendly version, and lead up to an advanced version. Talk about really opening the door to new developers. Eh? Whatya think?
I would love to learn too

Yeah I think it is definite. People want to know how to make their own ROMs.

CRAP that looks like martian talk to me LOL. Well judging from that link we all have to learn some Linux boys. Ive been on windows for years and its all i know, but i do want to learn how to work on ROM's. I''ve heard that Ubuntu is the easiest to learn coming from a windows environment, please steer me in the right direction if im wrong. I guess illl have to dual boot my laptop to night.
hi guys i posted this earlier but in the wrong place.. i really need some help with my htc hd2 im looking for anything to funk it up and maybe some cool apps.. any games anyone thinks are cool... and before i forget can i change the clock and themes really want to change them!!! thanks for your help and hope to get lots of replys!!! mark
come on mate... i will warn you now before you get a flood of abuse hurled at you..
just use the forum search....
or just go through the threads in this section of the forum...
the most popular ones tend to be the most updated...
new to this!!
new to this i can take abuse!!! only joined yesterday and was just after some help as im not very technical we all have to start and learn somewere dont we... so those who feel the need to abuse please feel free to and those who kindly wish to offer help please feel free to... thanks mark
Hi mate, I agree that everyone has to start learning from somewhere.. You don't have to be very technical do use some of the apps and themes. Just read very carefully the instructions and you'll be fine.
Now I know that a lot of people don't like the words "use the search" but in that case it's the best thing to do. Just type "theme" or :icon changer" or "tweaks" or "games" and you'll have a lot of results and different was to make your phone look and work better.
Nevertheless you'll have to do some work yourself by reading all the stuff.
Before I get hammered for i wish you good luck...
yea sorry i didn't mean to put you off or anything just, i know there are a few people on here who would crucify you...
for games i have FPSECE 0.10 which is a superb Playstation 1 emulator.. go to www.fspece.net for the details
in terms of other tweaks and stuff... i would recommend searching as everyone's taste is different..

guys this is not a question, this is a "plea" for some help...
if one of the great dev's out there would be kind enough to enable multitouch on this rom http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1701190/kb7sqi-magic-full-V2.7.2.zip
i, and many others who use this rom, would really appreciate it
ps: i did pm the dev who cooked it, but he didn't answer, so i thought i take my chances elsewhere..
what ROM is this??
my bad..
its a rogers rom that comes with a flash player enabled browser and other sweets that come with a rogers rom, such as the smart dialer, apart of course from being lightweight, which makes it run smoothly on my 32b G1

patience. devs do this voluntarily at their own time. demanding for features won't really get you anywhere. Especially with 2.1 AOSP being out there now, i'm sure there's a lot already going for them.
Try this: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
Don't know if it works for your rom since it's originaly made for 1.1, lol.
Thanks for the tips guys..
Unfortunately the above link suggests installing a different rom to get a mt enabled kernel.
Sorry if i sounded pushy. Didn't mean to...
I was just wondering what it takes to apply the mt patch to the kernel thats all
I think you can't just install multitouch on a rom because it needs to be in the kernel. So or you wait the rom builder of your rom includes it in his rom, or you need to try another rom.
what base firmware is this ROM using?
i dont have time to research it
Its cupcake 1.5
kingklick,
just wanted to say that its really nice of you to show interest in helping others.. you must be a really nice guy
thank you
just checking..
i feel like a little kid askin' for candy here...but i don't care
kingclick, was you inquiring about the base firmware here an indication that you'll help out? i really hope so...
You wont find someone to do this. You've cluttered the developers thread with your groveling. You should read up on the methods and do it yourself. Plus, then you could do a lot of extra goodies. If you want something done, do it.
well..

you mean learn java and android programming, and in a few months, or maybe a year, i'll be able to do it all myself... sounds like a great idea..
but here's a better one,
in this world we live in, there are specialized and professional people, each in their own field, so when someone "like you or me" need something that is not in our ability or specialty, we seek a professional...
i don't mean to be rude, but this could easily be compared to learning dentistry to do your own tooth...
haven't you asked for any help from anyone in your life?
If you really want MT in browser why not use dolphin or one of the alternate browsers in the market?
mt is missing in the rom itself, the patches were not applied..
