[Q] Creating Roms for Galaxy Tab - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
sorry if this question has been asked before. I read a lot of threads before but most of them where for HTC phones. No tut for GT
What do i need to create custom roms for the GT?
Background info:
I'm runnig a EUR custom rom. The creator of the rom has stopped his work all of a sudden. There are some problems i encoutered while using his rom. The standart camera app is missing. Yeah it's installed i checked it allready. And i can't reinstall it either. LauncherPro was integrated into the system as default home app. It can't be updated anymore.
So what i wanna do is creating my own zImage and factory.rfs deodexed, zipaligned and root.
Which stock rom should i use?
What do i have to do to get started. Adding apps making a custom theme etc.
THX in advance and sorry for my poor english i'm from germany

Com' on im serious. I'm having some programming knowledge and I'm learning pretty fast. I made a rotobackup and I'm digging through the factory.rfs allready but I don't know where to start.
So please help

I am also trying to figure this out.
Especially changing the status bar, battery, animations ect......

ROM PersonaRedV4 help....

Hello, I just installed personaRedV4 ROM and I must say that I have solved many problems, the management of memopria seems great, the system is more fluid ....
but I have a vision problem on a red background, I wish I could even change the background of the market, for example, can not read the buttons to download, install, etc. ... the market for the app.
I read that installing GalaxyXT resolve some of these problems, but I have installed the V4 and should have already understood the GalaxyXt. But I still see the red background.
One last question, what do you think the best roms for XT720?
also exists here in the forum or a list of the Roma out so far?
Thank you all for your attention ...
ps I tried searching the forums for an solution to my problems, but I'm not good at English ....
I used google translator, ... ....

theres lots of roms for our phone now. you can look for the roms in the android development section of this forum for our phone. there's first of all dexters froyo rom, then khalpowers v4 roms which are heavily optimized and themed, then there's fjfalcons RusMod rom which is similar to khals rom except for the themes and its also in russian. there's also the MIUI rom which its interface looks slightly like the ios's. i like the lockscreen and the snappiness of this rom, but not the rest of the interface. currently im just rooted on stock 2.1 which im very happy with (i dont use flash much) because theres no bugs at all, and has a pretty good battery life compared to the custom roms. there's also the wanhu rom and cincinnati bell rom, but i havent tried them out yet.

I would say if you want 2.2 Froyo all things working like TV out and fm radio then Khalpowers WanHU is the best choice for now but the stock special might be as well it is new. If you want just speed and stability then Khalpowers MIUI Final V4. If you want the best stability and responsiveness and don't mind 2.1 you can try Mioze7Ae's 2.1 Eclair strikes back V2 He's done a real good job tweaking that. As of now I am on The Stock XDA Special and it is really nice with only a few subtle minor bugs that are being worked on. When that is complete it should be the top choice. I am using 3rdstring's theme Darkfroyo remix and it is pretty awesome.
Thanks for your answers, I installed the ROM Xtmiuioptimized is fantastic, everything works perfectly, the only thing I have left the market earlier that the ROM is with the black background, and I do not know how to change it ....
thanks

Cm 10.1 latest build (theme issue)

Hiiii all.. My name is vishesh, yesterday I root my device (Samsung tab 2 P3100) and install CM 10.1 NIGHTY CUSTOM rom successfully, I admitted that it's a wonderful rom, better than stock, but I am facing a problem regarding choosing different theme. I installed 4 themes, but wenever I tried to apply the theme, message shows.. This theme is improperly complied and cannot be applied.. I googled it and found that, wenever this Msg come,just delete the cache and data, in theme provider. Apk and in theme chooser. Apk, then reapplied the theme.. I also tried it but still I am not being able to try a single theme, same message appear.. Can someone help me regarding this or give me some working themes of it so that I could enjoy the new looks of the rom.. Please help me.. Waiting..
Honest I cannot help you, have a GT-P5113 and need help myself. One thing about this place is there are a heck of a LOT of really good brains in here. Now trying to get them to answer you, AT ALL, is nearly impossible. Shame, isn't it? But I guess if they spend all day answering questions, then they cannot make really good ROMS, Mods, and other goodies. Good luck my friend.

What makes a ROM special ?

Hi,
Guys I want to know what makes a certain Rom special/better than others ?
I'm kind of new in this, the roms I've built right now are all built upon the stock Rom of my phone.
The only differences between my roms and the stock are ringtones, fonts, apps, boot animation, themes, wallpapers, etc like all the basic things.
I'm not finding this interesting, I wanna make something of my own.
How should I do this ? By using the Google source as a base in the kitchen ?
If its possible from where should I download this source code?
You guys must have figured out by now that I'm a noob
I'm not sure but I could be lost, so any help will be greatly appreciated
PS is there any internship thing here on xda, to which one could to apply and learn how to build a Rom from scratch/Google source.
PPS I'm tired of flashing my own phone every time i wanna test my build, is there a virtual box for flashing ROMS ? Like Genymotion but its for apps....
Thanks
