Thanks.

The missing link
I'm sure i'm not the only one so i thought i would post my result of a lengthy search. Hopefully this will speed up others search for knowledge on creating ROM's.
Can anyone please tell me how to edit (where) the "credits" i mean the words that are in the "Kernel version" and in "build number" dialogs in the "About phone" menu of any update.zip (theme)

Hello all!!
Thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for everyone to post G APPS, ZIPS, FIXES, and of course APPS!!
NO PAID APPS / OR COPY RIGHTED MATERIAL PLEASE....
Many times flashing between different ROMs it is a pain to search from the phone to find the right " stuff " to add to a new software.
Idea is to post them here in one easy to find location. Please list as much info about the item you post as you can.
Best regards,
Chris
P.S. MOD'S please remove / delete this if there is any issue.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, CREDIT THE ITEMS DEVELOPERS!!!! OPEN SOURCE MEANS OPEN SOURCE, BUT IF YOU WORKED YOUR BUTT OFF, YOU DESERVE CREDIT!!!
Someone wanted a new font, here is a thread with a flashable font zip, it does work on cm7, just applied it!!!!
And not to mention several cm7 themes and extras!!!!!
Enjoy!!

Hello, first of all, forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum section; I'm sorta new here, and this is my first topic.
Second of all, I'm not an experienced android programmer and I'm also a teenager, so sorry if I sound like a noob; dont expect me to know all that you guys suggest. Also I have some basic experience with Java coding. (sorry if this is all off-topic but just giving a heads-up and letting you know so that you can maybe change your answers a bit so I can understand)
But ANYWAY, what I'm trying to do this for is to eventually port cyanogenmod to my device.
I currently cannot post links because I'm new here; look up "building android from source", and it should say "Getting Started: building android from source" at the fifth link from the top (xda-university).
I'm stuck at "installing repo and syncing".
What url should I put in "URL to android manifest"? (And yes, I am using Terminal in an Ubuntu VM) And now that I think of it, it should be some link of cyanogenmod but my device isn't supported; no repository for my phone. Correct me if I'm wrong. If it helps, my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Admire 4G (SCH-R820).
Again, sorry if I sound like such a noob, it's probably because I am.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, just found out I was in the wrong forum section, can someone delete this thread or show me how to do so? thanks...

bad forum
When you don't get replies, don't just say xda is a bad forum.
The forum isn't the "thing" answering, it's the users. .
Anyways, I have an answer for your problem. And I know what exactly you're talking about.
The reason your "tool" shows an error when it compiles the .apk is because you made an error somewhere in the process of editing. This happens frequently, the easiest way to figure out the cause for this error is to check the error log. It shows precisely where the issue is.
I would help you out by making it for you, but there is two reasons I cannot. One - its too late here and I can't get on my PC, and Two - If we do it, you don't learn anything if you're building or cooking roms.
So what I would like you to do is, get a log of the error you're getting and perhaps I, or someone else could help you.
Also you can "bump" up your thread, read the stickies for rules on this. It'll help. Bumping the thread pushes the thread near the top of list so people see it. You already did this. But in a slightly different way.

Hi,
I see a ROM by xdabbeb for the 39A kernel on the LG G2 referred to in posts, but I cannot find it anywhere. I tried visiting the developers profile, but did not see any projects listed there. Obviously I also tried searching.
Can someone please point me to it, or tell me where I might find a list of all of a particular developer's projects? Thanks.

Hello guys, I'm currently developing my first custom ROM and I need some help. Can anyone tell me how to add listviews on "About Phone" so I could include my ROM name? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Im not a developer so could be wrong but pretty sure that reads build.prop, so just edit that and should be good to go?
mmm.. build.prop is where the data and values stored to tweak your device's performance and basically where the build properties of your device is placed. What I want is to add listviews to "About Phone" and include the name of the ROM. Thank you for the reply though. stay awesome!
