The first step comes from googling the topic: how to make custom rom.
have you tried this yet?
there are several hits from google, including youtube vids.
You can also read the older threads in the dev section.
You can also hang out in chat rooms and irc...you're more likely to get more help there.

I have looked at Google and you tube but all I found was for Linux or Mac OS and I haven't seen any older posts that helped

have you broken down a rom yet?
Working on it now actually

You have to build in Linux since android is a Unix based system. You can tear apart a stock, or leaked rom in windows and mod it, and/or theme it. But, to straight build a rom, HAS to be done in Linux, ie(Linux mint, Ubuntu) .

You could go to the ubuntu website and click on android then contact them and see if the will give you a copy.

Thats for handset makers.. all we need is a kernel. That supports loop and that will allow sevral apps on the market function properly

I believe that Ubuntu can be ported to your phone if you have a custom ROM. I'm trying it with Cyanogenmod 7.2.0
Sweet let us know ur results please?
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk
I'm doing it right now. It shouldn't matter but I have a P925, I think the only difference is you have Sprint and I have AT&T
When I first got this phone, running ubuntu was one of the first things I did. I made a post about it in the O3D section somewhere but unfortunately im using the xda app atm and searching for my thread isnt bringing up any results.
Edit: Found the link,

Just realised the link to the files in the post is dead. I'm pretty sure I still have the rar on my pc at home though, will check and re-up them in a bit.
Edit 2: Found the file... uploading now!
Are you guys talking about native ubuntu? cause i know for sure (have done it) that it's possible to run one of those ubuntu images in the background where you start them with terminal and then use a VNC client to access your own session and then you can pretty much use it fully like a desktop, even though the usual VNC disadvantages apply ;P
Actually I have p925 running straight talk

Hi
I have made some modifications to an MTD ROM posted in dev section.
I would like to test it on an emulator before I flash it to my actual device.
I installed Eclipse (with ADT plugin) and downloaded some Google APIs (2.1,2.2,2.3.3) but I haven't seen our device in the list...
So I just launched a virtual device based on 2.3.3 but I don't think it is heping me much, it's just a general 2.3.3 android device.
My questions are : (and I did read quite a lot, maybe haven't looked in the right places)
1. what target do I need to download and add to AVD to emulate SGH-T959V ?
2. How do I get it to function with recovery ? and actually flash kernel etc.
3. Do I need specific actions to emulate MTD over our phone ? same as in real phone ?
4. Will I be able to virtually flash a ROM on an emulator ?
links to constructive/informative sources are also appreciated.
Thanks a lot !

I'll rephrase, how do you guys test your ROMs prior to flashing them, or you don't...

I have been trying to do that for a while. What I've discovered is that you can build emulater version from source, or use a nandroid backup.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I was messing around with this last night, but couldn't get a nandroid backup image to load properly in the android emulator. I was following these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591924
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906161
I'll get back to you if I find anything else that works.
I couldn't get it tot work either, but I thought it was just me.

You'll find even less help in the general section man, anyone who still has that dinosaur is going to be in the Magic section. Try a different ROM. Falling that, try a different phone.

Yeah, it works on these devices, but it is mainly designed for media player use, like the Google Nexus Q.

As stated in original thread if you hear sound but black screen you need to send him logcat and device model. Its a known issue.

My friend and I both tried different builds. I always have black screen. Funny thing is that the first time he tried it worked for him. He didn't play any movies but he was going through the settings. He closed it and it never opened again. Just black screen.

Same here.I was able to run once, and thats it.We shoud send log cat or something to devs...

I didn't try it yet but...
Could work if we'll trick the program to think that it's on another device? I mean changing the identity of O3D, as it happens in the Xperia 3D rom by Meemo if I'm not in error. With that ROM the update program and Google Play were seeing my phone as a SE Xperia not as LG O3D!
I'll be peeing against the wind but it worth a shot to try.
So we have to edit build.prop?We need to find the line where device name is i gues...
Will try this...

Looking at my build.prop I see the lines:
ro.product.model=LG-P920
ro.product.brand=lge
ro.product.manufacturer=LGE
Anyway you should see first a build.prop file of a device that you know it works
And pay attention to what you modify because you can brick it, get a boot loop or something like that.
And you should ask advice from a developer... they are all good guys and I think that would help you gladly.
Again I might be peeing against the wind - but you never know.
I did a full backup and then edit build.prop to NEXUS S.With no luck, i got the same error.Will try with different edit in build.prop... Thx for you help.:thumbup:

Thanks.But one stupid question: what version have you tried? I guess the Neon version because ours doesn't have Tegra.But one I've tried Tegra designed games and some of them worked.See my early threads.I'll try also but I'm not so brave with coding or something like that
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Both versions.None of them working.But one thing that I've noticed is that if you go to kill application and clear cache you'll see that this one, the cache is about 45 Mb which is a lot and therefore freezes the phone.Could this be a problem?Cache file too big?I think that in the end it needs bigger RAM, like 1 Gb.
