I have decided to make a zip file of of everything you will need to start modding, rom building, and app making. These go from basic to advanced level. Inside the zip you will find multiple FREE apps that I have found on xda or other sites. This is not and never will be warez. I know a lot of these have been posted before but i see all the time people asking how to do this and how to do that and links being given and apps being told to use but no one has ever just put everything into one large file for easy access.
Also inside the zip is an instruction manual to the files inside the zip. It briefly explains what each files does and provides a link to the main site in which is was found so you can go and continue your learning.
Also inside is a txt of a lot of the adb codes that i have used since joining this site
and the last thing in this zip is a manual on how to sign an app using private keys just in case you are able to design an app and want to share it with others in the market.
Im sure there are millions of other programs that I am missing here and can continue to add to it but for now these are the tools that i have used to build roms, create updates and themes, and design apps.
If u have suggestions please feel free to comment with a link to the app and to the apps main web page for easy access.
enjoy
BTW the file is huge but well worth it. DO not download to your phone. lol

the only reason it doesn't work is because you put a space in the name of the zip. No spaces allowed. It will work fine after that

not sure if anyone has posted this or is aware of it for that matter, but as i was looking around for themes on the net i found that u can actually use any jpeg graphic and make it a theme with this website i found..it actually creates a .tsk file for u.. cant get much easier!
so basically what u do is:
1. find ur graphic ( i use alot of iphone sites or create my own using photoshop )
2. save it to ur desktop or wherever..as long as u can find it!
3. go to this site:http://www.mperfect.net/tskTSK/
4. click create theme
5. save it to your desktop or wherever as i mentioned earlier.
6. drag it over to ur phone or simply save it on ur phone, in the correct folder,
and your good to go!
There are theme generator programs that do this very easily as well, I don't see what part is so impressive.

I don't disagree with you but it does seem like you were pushing the software a bit much, did you write it or something?
Dropbox is a great online storage/sync/backup site. You can access your files from anywhere. Also, you can host files in your "Public" folder.
The Dropbox website is directly accessible on your phone's browser too, in mobile and regular format.
Help me and yourself out by registering and installing the software, once you do that, both our storage capacities increase by .25gb. The more people that join through the link, the more storage capacity for everyone.
Also, there is a pretty good app on the market called Droidbox, which is a Dropbox manager for Android that works great on our Heros. The dev is really great and is doing everything he can to make it even better.
Make sure to install the program that goes with it on your computer for the extra space! For Mac, Windows, and Linux!
So here's my referral link to sign up (if you'd like to help )!
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTUxNTM1MTc5
Lol someone is trying to earn free space
Lol jk, if you sign up for it use his link you both get free space.
It really is a nice program, works on Linux, Mac and Windows so your set
Good to note that going to the dropbox site on your phone works great, too. I often throw files on dropbox and download them straight to my phone whenever i need them.
Kind of like an extra SD card.
It is a really nice program.
And I just realized that even though I meant to post this in the General section, well, I must not have lol

I've had dropbox for a while now. It is nice. I hate the app though. My opinion. But yeah me and other devs from other devices use it a bit to share builds, work, and source. Only flaw I've found is sometimes the speeds suck. But that's not dropbox's fault.

I tried to figure it out but with no real replies I gave up out of fear of bric king the phone. Also maybe you can answer: what happens if you factory reset when rooted?
BTW nice job on the scoob, lmao I clicked your web site and was like ...wow he really is a fellow scoob lover!

Hey I had this thread going in the Hero forums but I recently got my Evo and wanted to contribute something for now until I'm up to speed on cooking roms and themeing for the Evo.
This is a collection of tools and Setup files that I have collected throughout my time here on XDA. Its mainly meant for new developers that are looking to start making their own themes, cooking their own roms, or even making their own apps to put out onto the market.
I in no shape or form stole anyones apps, tools, or files in this zip file. Everything in here is 100 % FREE and given out on a regular basis. I simply put everything together in one place so you dont have to go searching all over the internet or just on XDA to find the programs you need.
I put together two zip files. One for windows 32 bit and One for windows 64 bit. I can put together zips for macs and linux if requested
Please feel free to recommend tools that you use with the links to where they can be found and I will happily update the everything android files as need to include them.
These files are a little under 500 mb each and recommended to download onto your computer and not ur phone
Everything Android Windows 64 Bit
Everything Android Windows 32 Bit

Yeah testicular...wasn't fun. But atleast during chemo I was able to push out 8 apps onto the market. Pretty much due to what I learned from the hero dev section.
Glad to here your ok. I'd like to request a "Mac–pack" if you could please. I'm really interested in App development. With 4 kids and being a network engineer (80 hour weeks) this could really save me some time. Thanks in advance for your help.

can you post a different download link?
Glad to hear you kicked that cancer to the curb and Welcome to the Evo World. Updated Linux tools would be nice when you have time. I have something behnaam gave me last year which is a little dated.

Also inside this zip is 3 txt files.
The first is a simple guide to whats inside the zip. It list the name of the program, a link to the website where i found it and for the programs from XDA a link to the thread where i found the program so you can give props to the developer and learn how to use it.
The second txt is a list of ADB codes that I have found myself using over and over again and its easier to copy and paste than it is to keep typing over and over again.
The last txt file is an explanation on how to sign an app with private keys so that you can load it onto the market if interested.

Welcome to Evo bro....loved your work when I had my hero...can't wait to see what you cook up here
Hey my name is Scott and ive been using ROMs from this website for awhile now and well lets face it i think im addicted to flashing new ROMs... either that or im determined to turn my infuse into a brick. . Anyways, besides the introduction i wanted to take a moment to personally thank each and every developer on this site and especially the ones in the infuse section for making my phone 20x better then it ever could be. Its amazing what you guys come up with. I really appreciate the hard work and dedication. With all this being said, I would absolutely love to learn how to do this. As far as programming goes, i havent done anything since the days of VB3 . So... Would any of the awesome developers out there want to mentor a newb?? I would be very grateful if someone could teach me what i need to know and maybe one day develop my own ROM.
First off, thank you as well. Without out flashers our work would be virtually worthless
Secondly, before starting development take a day to sit down and really research articles on this site. The more knowledge you have before hand will put you a head of the game. Once you have basic knowledge, pick a base rom. One that you feel would be best for what you want to build. Download that rom. Download nunhuggers apktool, the necessary Java development tools. Decompile the rom and take a while to look through it, and kind of get an understanding of how things work within the rom. That would be the best starting point.
Also when developing your own rom, before you release it take time to make sure everything is in working order, releasing a half broken rom is no good, releasing a solid, stable rom is aces. I'd you need anything I will gladly answer any questions I can, and help in anyway I can. Most senior devs would be glad to help as well, very good community we have here.

Thank you for your response and advice. I have briefly gone over guides and documents ive found just by doing a general google search and of course from this site also. It looks kind of complex, but im sure your suggestion of taking a day and sitting down to decompile it and take a good look would really put things into perspective.
When i do a search for nunhuggers apktool, it just comes up with a tutorial video? Is this what your referring to or is there an actual download that im missing?
Thanks for the offer to help if i need it... I have a feeling ill definitely be taking you up on that. I have noticed just from downloading ROMs and general observations on this forum that everyone seems pretty awesome and are willing to help. Glad to have finally joined and posted.
There should be a download in his topic, not sure if he took it down or not. I'll upload it when I get home and give you the link if you don't have it by then. His video explains how to use it and its very simple to do

Not to discourage, just giving you some advice, it is allot of work for even little things, I say down and tried to edit the 2.3.6 and add a simple extended power menu, took me 30 mins at least and I didn't even get to test it, wouldn't re compile for some reason, again not to discourage, just trying to give you some insight into what's needed

deathblade... Thanks for the heads up.. Im looking forward to the time that it takes to put into this.. I am very OCD about things and when i get obsessed with something, i get 100 percent focused on getting it done.

If you have mac laying around...or if your willing to run linux this is a great tool! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167623 its called android utility and it downloads and installs everything you need to get started...except java gotta download that before you run this tool.
The first time you run it it will go througb the installation process and it will get you just about everything you need...
-dsixda's android rom kitchen (great for decompiling a rom and recompilimg a rom)
-apktool (for decompiling apks...this tool is neccesary for development if you want to add tweaks and mods)
-simple adb interface (has a list of options, choose what you want and it does the code for you)
Has some other stuff too but thats the main stuff
I have it on my linux computer and it runs great!
Ill upload some pics of it as soon As i finish my lunch
And if ou ever have any questions send a dev a pm, they are all very helpful!

Hello and a quick tip! Before setting up your Linux box make sure that ALL of your hardware/peripherals are supported by the Linux distribution you choose. You can see a list of all your hardware in windows by typing "device manager" in the search box. If you find that all your hardware is supported, have fun .

Running Ubuntu as we speak... no way to test it like just doing it. . Let the fun begin.
