[Tutorial] Make your own custom rom*Updated 17/7/2011* - Galaxy 3 Android Development

[Tutorial] Make your own custom rom
​Hay guys i made a easy interactive video on how to make your own custom rom..
Here some of you do not know how to make one, this one is for them
The video is 100% complete!
So please do not start hate speech here..We are here to share knowledge/work than just picking on each other.
And also special thanks to Dark Lestat for everything.

Simple Steps:-
Flash the rom you want as base(Stock JPM,JPF etc..)
Deodex the rom(optional)
Root your phone
Apply live wallpaper Mod(optional)
Remove un nessasory apps(optional)
Add custom theme(replace the framework n tw framework)
When done Type this command in adb
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs
And wait for 10 min(max)
**MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SD CARD INSIDE BEFORE TYPING THE COMMAND ABOVE**
Then go to sd card and there must be a new file called factoryfs.rfs
Now copy the factoryfs.rfs file from sd to PC.
Now open the .tar file of the base rom which you flashed before,using Total Commander.
Replace the factoryfs.rfs from the base to the one which you just made in sd.
Then close Total Commander and flash your custom made rom using odin.
If any failure then start form step 1 again! And this time stick to the procedure.

You could have at least reserved a thread for it..

live wallpapers

Ok so 1 of the main features of 2.1 is ofcourse the n1 live wallpapers. We currently only have 2(not including the 5 you can get off the market) im hoping we can look together as a community to find out why the other nexus ones arent working. If not make our own. Any suggestions to get this ball rolling?
Was this post necessary ? If u look in the threads Jroid already has a thread in which hes trying to accomplish this.

I found the new update with the search button so I'd say yes

All I could find was the rom. Ok what exactly did you put into the search box? Did you say any magic words? Did you pry to the gods of XDA?
I thought I was the only one who had bad luck with the search feature lol. I'd go into development and type in "Fresh 3.2" or "Virus" and would get nothing when the two threads for the Rom are sitting at the top.
Anyway I'll keep looking but if someone could post a link to the zip to flash it would be appreciated.
Found it, Magic words were "OTA Dodexed 2.3.some other numbers.29... and it's the 89th point down. So go to this thread and download it.... NEUBS

[Q] CRT-OFF Animation

Hello everyone, I re-edited this post. I would like to know if there is a way to edit the framework.apk and go to the bools (I think) and refit some of the XML codes so we could have our old gingerbread lock animation, all help will be appreciated. Thank you.
wow, thats an offensive first post )to the eyes that is)
and short answer, not really, after a full reboot, the change is lost...
best way to find out? try it! im not a fan of it, so im not even going to bother, but if you root, keep it and copy the files to system, it should work in theory...
but im pretty sure that you have to reboot for the settings to stick :/
k thanks, sorry for the letters im new with this.

And to the OP I don't know but like the above poster said try to copy the files you need to /SYSTEM and then use the FastReboot app, to trick your phone into believing that you have rebooted it and hoefully the changes will stick.
Let us know if it works!

So what exactly does this mean:
"successively rooted our HTC Sensation"
Are you temp-rooting over and over again?
I could be wrong but isn't the CRT animation built into the kernel itself???

It should be in services.odex, I decompiled it using backsmali but I dont know what to edit. Any help?
I found that it should be in PowerManagerService.smali

I would rather try to find out how to enable it through the services.jar better. But thanks for that.

I didn't know about deodexed. Guide me how to do that
(there are some other devs here. i hope they will help you.)
I WANT TO TEST IT IF IT IS different from other
m here for you welcome to galaxy r world
here's what i want-
1)/system from folder(deodexed,if possible)
2)config from the only kernel u have.To fetch it,do this in adb/terminal emulator
Code:

You come here and want something and then you offend non-devs that want to help you. Are you sure this is the way to get someone to help you?
You write "Phoneless-testers needed"
Why do the testers have to be "phoneless"?
I was thrown somewhat by the thread title too, I think he means he doesn't have a galaxy R, and although he's willing to make/fiddle with the ROM, he needs someone with a phone to test it.
I would be interested, but I'm not sure if it's a great idea - I'm not willing to bork my phone tbh
