Try downloading couple of ROMs and mix up the features, cooking your own ROM!
I did same with Axura Rom in which I changed its framework.
Congrats you are newbie ROM developer

If you want to start from the ground up, start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=998574

Start small!
Take existing roms and exchange parts for other parts you like.
Repeat until your phone won't boot anymore.
Investigate why the phone doesn't boot anymore.
Fix it.
Repeat step 1.
Thats how every rom basicly starts, a personal rom with little mods just for yourself until you are confident enough to provide others with a working rom and support and have a rom that others would actually want.

Learn how to work with ADB. At the beginning it's difficult, but with the time you get used to it.

Don't forget, after creating, support support support. People notice.

any particular software needed to be downloaded???

If you want to be recognized as a developer in this forum .. you have to fill you the form with your details ...

some program like winrar to open rom packages and notepad to edit code

he is not a rom developer? so he won't get recognized as one by filling out a form?
Thats like saying to someone who wants to become a doctor that he needs a sign made to put on his fence, saying he is a doctor.

I want to become a rom developer also. how to ?

[Q] Is there anyone running a "custom built" version of CM7 that they could share?

[Q] Is there anyone running a "custom built" version of CM7 that they could share?
Hi all...
I would like to try a CM7 ROM on my Infuse but I am in no way too technical to make my own from source so...
I am wondering if there is anyone here who has built a nice CM7 from source that could maybe share so I can give it a go???
I hope this is not too much to ask and I thank you in advance...

Thanks for the response but i don't see a d/l link to a specific ROM.
Perhaps I am blind but that is what I'm looking for... a working version that someone has created from source that I can flash via CWM...

Ya never looked into it till now, if I had a comp that could handle all of that and I had a better grasp on Linux, I would try building my own from the source.

If you look through the cm7 thread a few users have posted it. Just that others hate when they do so they discourage it on that thread because they don't want extra bug reports.

No its not that he does not want it posted on that thread, he does not want it posted at all until it is finished.
If you look at other rom threads there are tons of questions that should not have been there. What he is doing is like a semi private beta, it will help fix problems faster without having to answer simple questions. Things like who do I flash this, will it work with this kernel, and such.
Now I am not saying that its not on the web but you will have to find it and not ask for a link.

I dedicated a virtual machine to building CM7, so I can pull from the source rep and do a snapshot build pretty much anytime.
Problem is that we are not supposed to share it. LinuxBozo posted somewhere why this restriction, but I don't recall the link. Maybe someone could remind what the url to that post is.

People, if you want to share your own builds, I can't stop you. Hell, I don't even really care. I just ask if you do share, don't post them in the original thread, and make sure that whoever you are sharing with understands that this is currently not finished, has issues (especially with BT right now), and that unless they know what 'dmesg' and 'logcat' are, they will get absolutely no support from me and are on their own.

You guys have to understand from his point of view. Do u know how many questions or post saying things need to get fixed would pop up the whole reason around building your own from source is that if you can do that you should be able to put out questions and answer that help instead of simple or complex things that have being covered if you have the basic understanding and you can actually help with issues address them correctly ina Manet that helps fix it than its easier to get things sorted out before a release. So he doesn't want them in the original thread. I would suggest if you can find someone to share it since you have the approval now have them pm you not share it over the thread or any other thread and don't share it your self so it doesn't cause the other thread or any other to get cramped with questions that can or can't be answered. So if you get it keep it to yourself to help with that factor

ok, so given that it is better not to post links to home-brew builds on these forums, I figured to put mine here:
http://tools.1url.ws/cm7infuse.php
for who's craving to run CM7 on their infuse, and doesn't have the time/setup/etc. to build it on his own.
All the warnings, disclaimers, etc. stand of course. No support provided, no guarantee I'll build more in the future. As time allows every few days I plan to grab the latest sources and do a new build to post it there.
At this time I'm using the 10/12/2011 build, and aside from the known issues, works pretty well for me. But then again, you might end up having a totally different experience.

Stock/Leak and Custom ROMs forums

Who else wants to see a separate forum for completely stock (maybe also deodexed) roms and leaks, separate from all the custom roms? It might help out newer users who haven't noticed the naming schemes for leaks etc. It could also have a stickied thread guiding them to what's the latest available leak. The dev section is pretty cluttered :/

That definitely sounds like a great idea. Then again, there could also be a compiled list of leaks and deodexed ROMs, just like what Whitehawkx did.
Maybe I'll start working on that this weekend if people actually want it.

Sounds like a good idea. Separating the ROM's by boot-loaders might also help.

I'll let this poll run for another day then I'll contact a mod to see if they can do anything.

That's a good plan and will help all new comers to this forum.

I like it to - maybe if so - have the devs post if the rom is for Froyo or GB ?? Im a noob myself and I understand most - but still trying to figure out all the kernels and differences between KI3 or KG4... and what not.

Ditto.. Would definately help newcomers. It only took me a couple hours to figure things out but I'm sure it would help total noobs....

Vote yay

I've contacted the mods, just waiting on their reply now.

Sorry that I haven't been around, but I'll try to get on making that thread this weekend (if nobody else finished it by then).

Anyone Interested

Hello my name is Master&Slave over from the Tmobile Galaxy S II Community and im just wondering if anyone would like to port my ROMs over to the SKYROCKET
I know you can just flash with the conversion package thing in which I have never tried but it may perform better from a complete port.
Here they are Tuesday & Paradox II.
I do my own themes so if you want to port without my theme on it, feel free I dont mind at all, just trying to offer more ROM choices.
Cheers

I'm curious on what your "themed aosp messaging" looks like. Can I get a screencap of that? I might steal the apk for it...

I think you're stuff looks real good you should hit up silver wrx, or mod1441 is love to see what you guys cook up

Very Nice themes

I wouldike it I'm using a from from the t mobile section with the conversion package. I would love your ports.

Definitely would be nice if someone could port these over. I've run different 989 roms for weeks at a time, they're basically fully functional yet not the same as device specific. I for one appreciate the offer M&S, always wondered why more devs haven't "cross ported" in order to further expand your portfolios.

Don't own the device, technically I do with the Tmo version but you know what I mean. Never flashed a SkyRocket ROM ever nor looked at the framework or internal files.
Should I just put these in the Dev section here? Since you guys can just flash with the conversation package?
M&S

As far as i know the only hardware difference is in the physical mounting of the accelerometer.

There's also the lack of framework for LTE support

ROMS look nice man

If you use 727 rom as a base you can get rid of the heavily reported "2d lag" noted so often in 989 forums. (just a thought)

Request: MIUI

So now that the roms are starting to get rolling (Thanks so much new devs ) I was wondering if perhaps we can get a MIUI port? It would make you even more famous in our forums

Lmao I ported miui to sgs4g and I was going to take a swing at it for u guys but...I don't have the device...so eh maybe later on.

I was reading about MIUI porting, anything I was able to find indicated CM7 was required, or is that just for porting via WinRAR file swapping?
Forgive me if I am mistaken, still only at a point where I'm learning basics.
