[Q] How to Make or Edit a Rom??? - General Topics

Well ,
In my opinion many would like to learn how to make from the beggining a custom rom ....!!!or even edit a stock one (that's what i want to do) .I tried to use SDK but it is very complicated for me . Can anyone provide me a simpler solution with enough details in order to be understandful enough (even for begginer like me )...
I would be grateful to anyone who will even try to help ( even if he is not I will thank him/her) .....

It depends on what phone you have.I've never made a custom rom so i know this from research.There's a guide on how to make a custom rom for the mytouch 3g in the mytouch 3g android development section.I won't post a link because i don't know whether it's allowed or not

custom rom, root, ... general questions

right now i got a branded sensation. so far im quite satisfied with it. the only thing is, i would be glad to get root f.e. to get to the database file for the sense weather to add new locations.
for me i dont really need any custom rom by now. its my first android device and as said i like sense so far.
as i read through here, i think the problem for now is to get root on the device. if this would be possible, flashing new roms would be possible right?
so my question is:
is it more problematic to get root or to get a new rom? if htc will open the bootloader, will it be possible to get sense with root automaticlly? or is it still needed to find a way to get root in htc roms?
in custiom roms there should be no problem to get root right?
sorry if this all sounds lame or something but as said, this is my first android device. it try to read as much as i can
thx in advance for any answer!

i dont wann know how to do such things as by now it isnt possible. i just want to know if there will be unlocked bootloader, is it automaticly possible to get a root enabled stock rom?
or do we still need another way to get root on stock roms?

No. Unlocked bootloader will not automatically mean you'll get root. It's only a way for us to get root by another software running in the backround..
HTC already confirmed an unlocked bootloader in the near future..
For an offtopic discussion, custom roms will allways be better as they have no bloatware and includes tweaks to lots of stuff like ram management, oc kernels, gfx patches, deodexed and so on...
I hope this answered your question and please try to be nice on the forums.. people tend to reply nicer that way...

i was nice all the time just said stop that ot things.
READ MY POST: I KONW IT ISNT POSSIBLE NOW AND I DONT ASK FOR A METHODE TO DO ANYTHING LIKE ROOT OR CUSTOM ROM!
so isnt there a way to modify android and/or sense to get root on the stock fw? thought both are open source.
for sure this still requieres an open bootloader and maybe someone would say even this would be a custom rom

Android really isnt fully Open Source, HTC Sense and their phones aint Open Source.. Even if it is running Android in the bottom, HTC owns Sense UI.
The bootloader is pretty much locking you untill it gets hacked or HTC releases its opened one..
You labeled the topic GENERAL questions, but didn't see fit to place it in the GENERAL or Q&A forum?
This is in no way development related.

You're getting way ahead of yourself....You don't need to worry about Sense 3, till you actually learn about rooting and what everything is. If you just jump into this you could end up with a HD paper weight. First you need to read up on the faqs in the DHD section, then maybe you'll understand things better.
hy
Thats all what i want actually ,to get sense 3(because i cant afford a htc sensations).And i am sure you were like me a few years a go ,when u didnt know about these things...so u know how i feel... off-course i want to learn how to do this stuff in the right way , that's why i posted here,asking for help
i hope u understood me
thanks anyway
Spend some time in the HTC Desire HD Subforum they will have guides on how to root your phone, and a few ROMS with Sense 3.0 like cool3d.
thanks.i allready started to get info on what i have to do.
so far i know that i have to root my DHD,and then i get the custom Rom,wich will be virtuos rom,beacouse its ofers good info.i hope i will make it good :d

Of course I was like you before . When I first got a G1 back in 09 or maybe 2010, I didn't know nothing about root or hacking or anything. But now I know much more, and similar to you I can't get a sensation but I sure as hell can run the unity ROM that's just as good as the sensation stock . But you may also like other roms that are for the DHD, like MIUI, stock android, doubleshot and others.
other ROMS
You should check out the CoreDroid v.7.1 ROM it has a lot of sense 3.0 features built in, it is very fast and very stable, I am running it myself, and I am very pleased.
thanks guys.i am quite liking this community
so to be sure.i just have to root and nothing else ,to be able to install custom Roms ,true?
hope i am not annoying..
thanks and a good day to all
Yes, I would highly reccomend the ace hack kit, it is a very simple, and easy to do root, the manual OS inside of the download, follow it step by step, and feel free to PM me if you have any questions during the process

[Q] I'M a NOOB I need Serious Help PLEASE!!!

I bought a HTC Amaze from some guy and it works great except for my data connection being slow. It is rooted with what I believe to be an energy Rom for the Amaze. I think the rom is making the phones data slow but I could be wrong. the phone doesnt do any other weird things that im aware of. I need a step by step tutorial on how to unroot the phone so that I may be able to see if that is the issue. Can someone please help me?
Just flash a stock ROM. You can find one in the Amaze section of the forum. If you don't know how to flash there are also step by step instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1316
thank you for the response but I clicked on your link and tried to find information on just where and how to get and flash the stock rom but unfortunately Everything I read looks like another language.. Is there any way to guide me through the locating of the stock rom and installing? I would forever appreciate it. Plus do you know of phones having data issues after flashing certain roms?

You can ask in the same thread, a couple of people are trying to compile CM7, maybe you can help each other it's a bit of a mess because we don't have a forum section but when you have time, read from the beginning to understand what had happened with the phone and maybe you are the one who can give us our 1st custom ROM!

We do not have many developers, but we have good developers.
Now we have CM10 on going, it is useless (no call), but works wifi and 3G data, and i think we will have a stable rom soon, because they work very fast.
I have this phone and i am satisfied with support of friends of forums.

Cm10 fully fixed for burst(playstore fix)
Download cm10 for your burSt from here- MOD Edit: Links Removed. The posted ROM was not meant for the Burst. Please don't try and flash it, or edit the updater-script to make it flash.

Encryption
Has anyone successfully encrypted their Burst with any of the ROMs? I could not get any of the JB ROMs to encrypt, only a ICS ROM (Gizmolord) worked. Is anyone running a ROM with the device encrypted? Any additional problems with the ROM if you are?

Please gimme some tips bout what Custom kitchenware you use to Flash whose fresh ROM's to your devises, and which rom would be best for starters (most stable compared to perfomance) (would be best ics if its complete on this device, couse its not on x10)

Welcome :good: You need to read, read and read some more.
There are some great ROMs out there. If you want stability then stick with a GB-based one for the moment (Reaper for non-Sense and Endymion for Sense). If you want to be a bit more adventurous then try Fallout v5.0, based on the ICS RUU.
TO learn what you are doing - there are plenty of guides out there so make sure you read and understand exactly what you are doing and why before you risk doing anything to your phone.
Gratz on getting yourself the Ds, first if all!
1. First of all, by getting the mobile you just got into friendliest forum in xda!
2. And Secondly, before you start asking questions, there's some comprehensive guide about the specs, guides and tutorials, info, etc stickied in the general section
Edit : ah already see Simon has beat me to the welcoming committee

Thx for kind words of welcome, and just so to let you know i am reading all the beginers guides (not done yet). And at the same time i saw that ICS is officially on this phone now. So i am trying to install it but as it seems i need adb drivers and i have some difficulty finding them on my windows8. I found some for windows 7 but is says unsuported os on win8
UPDATE: grabed my Moms laptop with win7 and started to install this official ICS, but i cant keep doing that every time i need to flash rom (mom would come and turn it off right in middle )
Welcome, see link in my signature for the INDEX thread that should hopefully contain links to all you seek.
I'll echo what is said above in read read and read some more
Enjoy and there is an OFF TOPIC thread for social chat etc

Hello man)
ROM installed on my device is ICE_DS 5.0 with kernel Tweaked 7.1 (battery life is great!)
ROM on 4.0.4 version need update manualy.
p.s. its older to buy
hey there, welcome to the club! if you want great stability and also ICS experience, and don't want to experiment, you can also flash Ice Cream Saga v1. you get the latest HTC stock rom, rooted, with only the most basic tweaks. you can customise it if you wish with amidabudha's tweaked kernel or leave it as it is.

Hi Kesh,
When you post a link, it gives you the option to change the text that appears 'above' the hyperlink . Well worth using the feature as it shows people exactly what you are linking to, rather than just the actual URL. :thumbup:
