Hey All! I have been lurking around the forums and reading intensively on how to create a ROM but all I get usually is moreso on how to modify an existing rom, not actually create one from scratch, the steps involved in creating one, either from a Download of the base rom (un-rooted ) or pulling files off the phone itself via (adb pull /system )
If you know of any good info that may be of use to me please feel free to post a link! Any help would be appreciated!
**I currently have/use the Samsung Galaxy Prevail (SPH-M820 ) boostMobile, so anything directly related would be appreciated**
Thankx!
This is the very core of it!
Android source
You will be able to download compile and build a ROM, although, all of those threads on modifying ROM's will then come in handy because you are going to have a lot of tweaking as well.
If you are interested in Cyanogenmod source have a look HERE
Also check out the Chef Central section subforum Android. Lots of good stuff there.
imheroldman - Thanks I appreciate the links! , and those are some I have NOT run across yet lol :facepalm:

I have download this kitchen and I found that it is almost the same kitchen that I published 3 month ago with minor modifications: a new SYS build and a few packages. Here you can find may kitchen
If you use the work of other people, at least refer them and say thanks.

You shouldn't have removed the link (it is still in my reply if anyone wants it). I published my kitchen to be used/modified by everyone, but It you make it public, you should said what parts are your work and what parts are taken from someothers.
Hi devs (schlund, devras, tzacapaca, anynymous devs & future devs)
Since Cardsharing deleted all the photon kernel repository on GIT website (thank you Cardsharing), we need to do it again.
I suggest we use Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GettingStarted
Google code has a project src hosting (for devs), a bug tracker (for devs and users), a wiki (for n00bs) and a download section.
The drawback is, all of you guys need a google ID to use it.
Otherwise we can continue with a new GIT repository, or use google SVN for that, or any other tool of your suggestion.
What do you think?
ok sorry i forgot, codiak already created this page for photon:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/
let's use this!
Sry for spamming, but why did Cardsharing delete all hes posts ?

Though cardsharing is a great developer but is being childish at this time. He just believe r0bin, schlund and other developers are not supporting him.
@cardsharing: stop acting rude dude. Think evaone is developing their part of job and developing their part of work. Please don't act so badly and help us porting android on hd mini.
thanks r0bin, schlund and other developers for porting android for us.
hi guys,
project page have been updated, codiak and tzacapaca are the big boss of the page

This release has been done by Schlund, using his new kitchen!
To my knowledge, it is similar to the previous latest release, but thanks to schlund's kitchen it takes less space.
Schlund's Kitchen is a tool for devs (many thanks Schlund, this tool is very powerful!)
It allows you to update and modify easily the files stored inside system.ext2, init.rd and kernel and generate those files for test & release.
Schlund also wrote a wiki here:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/wiki/GettingStartedWithTheKITCHEN
Regarding releases changes, don't worry, if there is any bug fixed this will be posted on the forum.
Till now, we're still working on 3G, little progress:
photon can now be "attached" to GPRS, next step is IP configuration.
be patient...
Thank you for your answer Robin.. & Thanks for schlund also.
No problem.. I will be patient
I just wanted to say if new packages, as I said: Please if something new we must know.. for helping or something else..
Anyway Thanks

Hi friends !!!
I am very happy to see a sub-forum for Galaxy FIt and I am surprised to see many developers like Vishwanathptl, pratyushcreed and many others interested in the phone. Basically I am a Mechanical Engineer but then I love computers and I am very interested in android development. So I need help of you and I need help of the developers in learning this .................... so please post some links of sources to learn android development ............. waiting for you replies

Eclipse IDK:
For developing Android apps
if you really want to be a developer you must try to learn eclipse
APK manager or APK tool:
it is used to edit android apps
it decompiles android apps so that it's easy for us to edit them
YouTube and Google:
for tutorials to learn how to use them
hope that helps you...!!!!

Thanks for your reply .........
i will try learn that .......... and how do developers modify a ROM and make a custom ROM ????
This thread will help you to create custom roms
but its only for HTC devices and some other famous phones
I don't know how to add support for galaxy fit
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Well, You can use the HTC Android Kitchen! In the kitchen, just dont let it change your updater-script to update-script.
All functions of the kitchen will not work as it is actually made for HTC phones. You can deodex your FW, add boot animation support, Change the name of the fw and Compile it!
So is there any similar tool only for samsung devices?
Nope! The HTC android Kitchen is the best option available. Most of it's features Work Man!

I found this playlist on Youtube by MarakanaTechTV which has about 18 videos about android application development.This user has some other videos on how to make custom ROMs and many other which may be useful for developers .
So here is the link for that playlist titles Android Boot camp:

Hi Everyone! I'm a new user in xda developer.
After rooting, there's always custom roms, recoveries, kernels, mods that I could try. Is there any guide on how the rom/mods/stuff works? (rather than flashing stuff blindly) I thought I could play around and contribute to the community.

Look around in the thread for the mod or rom "source", thats the code used to compile the mod and would give you an idea of how it work, of course for other mods you could open the zip and read around the files and scripts.
Press the thanks button if I helped
Check the forum that is specific to your device. Everything you need to know should be available there.

Sorry if I sound stupid. DO I need to install Android SDK to see the source file?
Rom OP Format...DEVS READ PLEASE
Below is a format that should be used as an example of how a rom thread should look. It doesnt have to be exact. I suggest that you stay creative and use all the features in the advanced panel when creating a thread.
1. Name of rom, team, etc
2. Introduction
3. Changelog in code or php tags
4. What's included in the rom in the (apps, tweaks, scripts, addons, mods) in code of php tags
5. What works/what doesn't work in code or php tags
6. Credits (Users name-with link to (profile/github/or thread u got tweak from embedded), and what they did to help you)
7. Screenshots (2-10 different screenshots of different aspects of rom)
8. Kernel with either link to thread you got it from or github (if stock sense or cm please state that and that is enough)
9. Instructions on how to install the rom (also if special instruction for a2sd or beats audio...etc)
10. Do's and Don'ts of the rom
11. Questions & Answers section (I find this helpful to write out asked questions with solutions at the bottom of the op. I find that it cuts down on the question being asked a million times)
12. Finally the dl link
13. Additional add-ons (this can go into first post or reserved posts after)
I find the embedded link looks and feels better throughout the op if possible.
All sections should have a header with enlarged text and spaced out so people can read it easily.
I am hoping that this helps to make this section a little cleaner and easier. enjoy
The way I look at this is that it takes US weeks/days/hours to make these roms....we can take the time out to make sure that the op looks professional and clean
Also Make sure the op is fully ready before posting. I know we all get excited to release a rom but stating that half the stuff will be updated as time permits just shows that you are lazy and in a hurry which doesnt look good cause if thats the case then how does your rom run....
No posting a a rom thread without a DL link either
(h/t PapaSmurf151)
This is to compliment the XDA Recognized Developer Program Revamp. Aspiring devs showing professionalism are more likely to be accepted and frankly, it will help you immensely in the business world.
Good Luck!

I feel this post is for me
I wrote very badly and even if google is good OS should recognize that doing bad translation
I find it hard to make myself understood and understand
I know you are good moderators
I'll make an effort but PLEASE consider my weakness
No worries, we want to try to help.
The Q&A section would be very helpful for first timers and others who find a similar problem. Would appreciate it if everyone could include that.
