[Tutorial] Make your own custom rom*Updated 17/7/2011*

[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.

Wohoa.
Good God!
The JIG may work bro!
But, Rather give it to the service center.
Make sure you do a noobish way of yourself.
And, tell them that is happened on its own!
And, Mister, Why did you even try to flash Darkyy's ROM? o.o

You have a big problem there buddy, I've read about this somewhere recently and they said that they will need to replace the board(motherboard?). As the other users suggested you can try jtag, or just send it to Samsung

They wont replace the motherboard.
They will just do a FULL-SOFTWARE restore!

[Q] Will this ROM thing help my phone?

Hi,
I'm noob, this website is confsuing me so hard I can't find any useful info for me.
I have Samsung I5800. And it works really slow, I mean, REALLY slow. I got 1gb memory card inside but if I download let's say 2 aplications 25mb each I can't do any single thing with this phone. Can't pick up calls - If someone calls me I can hear the ringtone, feel the vibs but screen won't light up fast enough to pick up the call.
I was told that this website helps people like me. That updating ROM - w/e it is - might help. Is this true? Or is my phone broken and I have to send it to repair?

You are at perfect place. Welcome to XDA...
Spend some time reading about the phone information here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583
And don't worry, flashing a ROM is simple, and not harmful...just you need to know some things.
You will definitely get performance boost with new ROM.
