[Q] upgrading ROMs from froyo to gingerbread - General Questions and Answers

I know that the Fascinate has gingerbread capability and several ROMs for it, but I have grown a liking to my Evil Fascination rom. Is it possible (through the something like dsixda's Android Kitchen) to upgrade a rom from froyo to gingerbread? I could make my own through ROM Kitchen and then use UOT Kitchen to customize the interface and whatnot, but I was just wondering if something like that is possible.

I'm not an expert on the subject but I think you would maybe have an easier time using an already stable and unbloated rom as a base and then add the special tweaks and customizations from evil rom. You can contact the evil rom creator and see if he can help you with it to make sure it had the same results your looking for. Good luck

Resources for cooking own ROMs...

Hey peeps.
I'm wanting to get my hands dirty and start cooking my own ROM for the HTC Tattoo, which has been rooted and now has a custom recovery.
I would like some pointers on a tutorial on cooking custom ROMs, as it's kinda new to me, but I'm a fast learner (I learn more visually than reading on paper).
By cooking custom ROM, I mean either taking a stock ROM and gutting the crap out of it (and making it barebones), or compiling from source. For starters, I'd think I'll take the easy approach and go with taking the stock ROM from an offical RUU and modding it a bit (I've looked at a tutorial and think I can adapt it for Tattoo).
I'd like tutorials of both methods, as there might be a time where I want to compile my own Android 2.1 ROM for the tattoo.
I am using CoburnOS Professional (my own distro based on Debian 5.0 "Lenny") for my development cooker computer.
If you can help me with this, we'll have a new ROM in the works!
Cheers,
Coburn.

[Q] Custom Rom

How Can I create an android 3.2.1 HONEYCOMB ROM for the transformer...
Thanks in advance
First, the HC source is not available, so you can't compile one from scratch like you can for gingerbread. ICS will be open source, so when that is released next month, you will be able to compile your own rom from source.
So in the meantime, at this point you have a few options remaining:
1) use the ASUS roms as a starting point and mod and theme them to your liking. There are several *prime* examples of this in the dev forum.
2) port a rom from another device, such as the xoom. I'm not 100% sure if this is possible, but since they share the same CPU, it will at least be a fun challenge.
I mean I want to add themes, apps, launchers and create custom ui and settings...
I wrote some things in this thread that might be helpful to you

Good luck!
OK..
How Can I edit a custom rom...
Thanks in advance...

[Q] cyberjam 3g 2.1-how to make this app2sd compatible

hi,
as the title suggests, i would like to make a custom rom for this device... either modify the current 2.1 rom and make it app2sd compatible or make a 2.2 or higher rom that natively supports it...
i just need some info... firstly, which would be the easier thing to do?
if modifying the stock rom, what would i need to do 2 make it app2sd compatible?
if making a custom rom, how would i go about doing that?
i would imagine its possibly like getting a windows os and adding drivers for a specific machine before instalation... except in this case i think its a custom build.prop right? any help is much aprieciated...
oh and a final thought, if i make a mirror of the stock rom which bits can ibuse from it 2 aid me in the making of a new rom? id ideally like a 2.3.7 cyanogenmod7 rom just coz my current device (hd2) has a cyanogenmod7 rom and it works flawlessly... i do have a few hd2 android builds, can i disect these and modify them from what i have on the cyberjam?
basically i have a lot of apps and would like 2 have hardly any limitation on how many i can have as opposed to having 4-5 n gettin the memory getting full warning...
again, thanks in advance...
better still, add a forum for this device and have a big long list of compatible roms lol...
and finally, (another p.s)
there is a device which is very simmilar called a bsense 383.
now this does have a 2.2 rom available, only difference i can see is the cpu in the bsense is dual core aparently... the other hardware appears to be the same (haven't seen a list of every part inside both but the few parts i have seen are the same minus the aforementioned cpu)
so i look forward to your reply and hope that this is possible and plausable...
thanks, luke
31 views and noone can help me? come on xda community... surely someone can help me out...
Just read up on dsixda kitchen and once you get it installed in the right environment you can run pretty much any Rom through it and add that feature along with many other things. As long as you don't redistribute someone else's work, its ok.

Who no body can make ROM better than stock ROMs

hi
now i have tried every Custom ROM in this forum and i can`t find Custom ROM Better than the Original Firmware
the original firmware is good but it have a littile stupid themes / styles no more
when any body make his own ROM he edit some thing make its ROM worth than Stock ROM
sorry wron title why not who
my bad english ^^
then make your own beautiful theme for your "oh so great" stock rom using UOT KITCHEN..not a great deal! -_-
and just because YOU don't like custom roms doesn't mean they are worse than stock ones! i wud choose to live without android device rather than without a custom rom!!
As XDA is almost entirely dedicated to custom ROMs, a thread essentially bashing custom ROMs in general isn't likely to generate any beneficial or productive discussion. Closed.

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
