what's a cooked rom?
try to explain what kernel you want to install
You've probaly got your answer by now especially if you Googled your question (wonderful search engine Google) without the information being given you at a guess are working with android and theres a great Wiki tutorial here part of which explains the kernel process as well any other unknown you'll have working (if you are) with Android.
Hope this helps a little beside the suggestion of using Google

If you're playing with Android read this Wiki it really got me through Android as well it has others, but ya gotta READ!!

OK so I've been waiting patiently for my Nexus One and it's finally here. So far I've rooted (uber easy) and installed RA-nexus-v1.5.3 and then installed Modaco's custom rom.
Here's my question?
How do I install the Cyanogenmod on my nexus one? Do I need "makin' bacon" ?
I tried installing the latest stable version 4.2.13 but it didn't work because it's not for Nexus One, right?
I'm 100% virgin when it comes to using a smartphone....I've always used the cheapest most basic pos I could find but my last one just broke and I couldn't resist this phone since I'm a heavy GV user. Please forgive the ignorance and thanks in advance
Your obviously a virgin to forums and how to use them as well. The search button is your friend..

Either install Cyans add-on or leave Modaco's
I wasn't sure if I needed it or not? Total n00b until about an hour ago but I'm sure with snappy remarks and quick retorts I'll learn real quick
Thanks!

Well you are a noob to all this so the first thing you need to do before you ever flash anything is read up on how everything works. There is no cyanogen rom for the nexus one yet. Before you flash anything always do a backup beforehand. Roms are not interchangeable so don't ever try and flash a rom that's for another device. Read the informative thread in the development section, all the information you need is there so read read and read again, that's the best advice I can give you. Also before posting make sure you are posting in the correct section, this should have been posted in the development section not here.
i bought an android tablet (witstech a81-e) and i know its not going to have the market, or other important pieces, so my question is, if i go into the g1 forum and find a rom to flash on my newly rooted tablet, will it work?
if not, how do i know which ones will work? if none of em work, how do i make one that will work?
help?
Flashing a Rom from g1 section won't work.
... but you should be able to take apps (like Market) from roms to use
.... and building roms is difficult work if you don't know how. No, sorry, it would be difficult for ME to learn all the ins and outs... but if you want to have a go there are some tuts in the "Android chef central" section.
Good luck!

thanks, now i have a direction
first thing you have to do is getting root access. when that's done, try compiling a running kernel and after that you can go to the software-part=)...mfg coach
PS: that's what i think is the order, have never done this on my own (except for building linux kernels^^)

Hello and welcome to XDA...
First, I recommend reading the stickies posted in the forum and learning as much as you can about the inner-workings of the community... from there, things get easier.
Points of advice...
- Flashing Roms and Kernels can be as easy or as difficult as you want it to be... meaning, if you search the forum well and learn what you're doing, it becomes as simple as ever...
- Never flash anything without making a nandroid backup first... if you don't know what that means, use the search function for XDA and lookup "nandroid"
Lastly,
Most people are going to recommend you flash yourself Cyanogenmod 7. The latest stable build is RC1 and can be found here and other "usual places".
Once you flash CM7 (a "rom") then you can flash a Kernel if you want... I'd be willing to put my neck out and say that faux has the most reliable and most popular Kernel out right now in conjunction with CM7...
The best thing you can do for yourself is read... take the time to read as much as you can and answer your own questions slowly over time... there is no reason to go flashing away until you fully understand what it is that you are doing.
Hope that gets you started in the right direction... good luck and have fun!
I tried looking up the tutorials on the forum but they were way too hard for me to comprehend as I am a total noob in flashing an Android device. Sorry if this question is being posted again, but I couldn't find anything that made it easier. So could someone show me an easy way on how to install a custom ROM?
i dont think ppl that like metallica can install custom roms...

Install a custom recovery
then you can flash custom roms, Check out video's on youtube for Ace and Gio, It is probably the same thing

This person that likes Metallica is partially a programmer, who has modded other devices than Android. Listening to rock'n'roll doesn't make you dumb.
Joke guy, geez cry more.. Good luck with your "partial" programming.

Here's an example
Hey here's an example video of how to install a custom ROM on a Wildfire S. Principal is the same on most phones. Need some kind of app with superuser privaledges or access to bootloader. I find bootloader easiest and cheapest (rom manager is paid app to flash roms)!
Go to youtube and search "How to install Cyanogenmod 7.2 wildfire s"
Sorry can't post link yet
No don't use rom manager... I don't think it supports galaxy y, you'll end up bricking if it doesn't...

Okay, Let me start by saying two things. Yes I'm new to this. And yes I looked in the forums for something similar.
Now, basically I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G. It is Model SGH-T959V, Firmware 2.2.1, Baseband T959VUVKB5, Build FROYO.VUVKB5. There are a few things I was wanting to ask the community.
Is it possible or a good idea to update it to JB, ICS, GB. And if so what are the benefits and procedures to do so?
Secondly, I've been looking into getting some custom roms. So far the only things I have found haven't been comprehensible. They either require a higher firmware version, have no explanation as to what the rom does, or have highly technical steps which are way beyond me. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what would be some good roms? What they do? And the benefits of using them?
If this has all been discussed somewhere else and have just missed it, please feel free to link to the thread and close this one.
ok i see you are new to the concept of flashing and rooting ....etc) you should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759

First, you should start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716 Second here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V now you have all the source of instructions and guides to follow all you have to do is take some time to read and search. and now good luck to you and your phone..
Well, as for the Odin thing a lot of people have said it can brick your device, and that's not something wanna do.
As for the other guides, I started it, I got to the point where I'm updated to GB 2.3.6. The rest of the stuff didnt say what it was for, so I was unsure as whether or not to proceed. Are they required for flashing ROMs? Or just extra stuff?
The last one didn't seem to have anything really useful, but I didnt look at every last thing.
And what about useful ROMs? I've looked around online and a lot people recommend Cyanogenmod, although no one has said what it does. I looked at the steps and it seemed over complicated to install for someone new to this stuff.

In this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-T959V it will guide you to rest of Custom rom's and kernel's that you must need to use in order to
start flashing custom rom and kernels. the rest is a guide which you can use and it will save you'r time from looking around.. The only rom which is very much stable to our phone are
GB and ICS while Cyanogenmod 10/10.1 are still in Alpha and beta stage..
Yeah, I saw that as I looked through it more. Just a lot of it is way over my head so it's gonna take me a while to get to it
That's right, you will never get lost by following that guide because everything you need to know are already in there.. just take some time to read and you
will be enlightened as you go on the process..
Well, my biggest problem is I keep looking for useful and cool ROMs, but haven't found any so far. So at the moment I can justify to myself to go through all those things just to not have anything to put on it. So far I like the GB look and feel much better than FROYO. I've found a few minor apps here and there, but so far nothing that has required flashing.
Or you can check some of the great ICS rom's we have, here i am going to provide some links of it for you.
