Where do I begin?? - myTouch 4G General

I've been interested in learning how to build custom roms but don't know where to start. Can anyone point me in the right direction to build a custom Rom for the mytouch 4g? Thanks!

This is the third thread that I know of about making ROMs. You don't just make them. You read read read. Then you do little things, like porting AOSP/AOKP. GOOGLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.

I was mostly curious about the mytouch 4g I have followed the instructions that the unlocked gave to set up the android kitchen but I didn't
find any info on the mytouch 4g specifically.

Thank you sir/mam, posted in my mods thread, now we can begin tweaking and creating themes!
thank you!!
excellent. Im hoping for a root before launch!
thanks OP!
can i use these in the SDK? or no? just a small question.
Great news! Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to a quick root.
Yes, I'm the noob. Is this the first step towards getting Android on HD2 TMOUS?
Silmilar question, can someone explain what can we (or anyone) do with the Evo system files?

This is a great site, but us noobs are treated like...you know, noobs. lol
Noobs must be patient and see how it unfolds. Stay active reading the forums and keep noob questions to a minimum. Good thing is these guys have a sense of humor so my current approach won't offend anyone, at least my experience. I support these guys. Unfortunately, they have to deal with noobs every now and then. I've been interested in learning more about code simply because of the Android movement, time and life has made it a slow process.
I can't wait till these guys get Android over to TMOUS. I believe these system files may be the first step.
HEY DEVS! Entertain a noob question for a moment.
Some times you gotta yell
This will be fantastic for Android on the HD2 I believe, exciting times
Devs gotta eat too

The first step is getting linux installed and working with all the drivers for the device (radio/video etc..) once that's working properly devs can start the android tackle. These drivers don't exist for this hardware so it's a rather long process of developing customer drivers for linux.
From what I've been reading there's some decent progress in this but there's no step by step process to making this happen. The best thing you can do is wait and donate to the devs working on this project. They gotta eat too
root and recovery im looking safe way to do so
can anyone link me to a place where i can get a safe root and recovery, I have bricked three htc evo v 4g in just two weeks. IM used to samsung and there much easer to root and put recovery on htc is very different to say the least but love the phone

They could just have an error screen explaining why they can't post. Let them know they have to be a member for certain amount of time, or there could even be a kind of peer review, where existing developers can vouch for the new member.

I thought this was already the case.
Questions like this should be asked in the Q&A forum. Period.
Also, one should spend time reading the first 1-2 pages of each forum, ESPECIALLY sticky threads before posting. It is obviously clear that the original poster did not spend ANY time reading.
I was a noob once too - but I took the time to do my research and spent an evening or two browsing threads and learning when I first flashed my HTC Tilt. Same for when I bought my Tilt2. Same for when I bought my Huawei S7, and same for when I bought my Infuse and Tab 10.1.
The "teach a man to fish" proverb applies here. If you just handhold a user, they will never learn anything. If you force them to spend some time reading threads, they'll start learning how to educate themselves and learn a new device without asking questions about stuff that is widely documented.

That's no excuse! I've been in this game for years and have learned almost everything I know simply by reading. If I can do it so can the noobs. Period. This guy deserves everything and anything he gets. I'm with Entropy. They must be forced to learn!
I'd say "ok guys back to topic" but instead I'll say "crap, here comes Neo again!"
Agreed.
A bit of reading would help everyone. Generally speaking, most questions have probably been asked before and even if they haven't; it is best to search anyway because you might stumble across the answer.
I'm all about being helpful, but constantly coddling people while they do the wrong thing isn't helping anyone. I want us to have a large user base so that our development continues to expand, but not just so that we have a lot of ignorant people running around posting the same thing over and over without doing a bit of searching.
It isn't as if this post was some desperate call for help because their phone stopped working after installing a ROM. It was just someone being lazy.

[Q] How do you create a rom?

Can anyone help me? i need a guide or something on how to create roms and kernels. If anyone can get the guide or knows how please reply to this post i want to make a rom and some kernels
There's a guide for building your own kernel on here somewhere, I think it's in the Developers forum.
But it isn't just a step by step process, it assumes you know enough about Linux coding to do things like set your own permissions.
I have NFI personally but I did read the guide and I could follow it logically, I had an idea on what it was talking about, but I still wouldn't be able to do a lot of what it instructed. I just don't have the background.

As I already said, you cannot just follow the guides verbatim. Just use it as "guidelines" and adapt it to suit your development environment.

Da_Reaper, maybe you should read up a bit first about how ROMs and Kernel work. If you think you know, use the step by step from AOSP:

Making roms is not to to hard. Building kernels is a diff ballgame. One i cant seem to wrap my finger around. Ive made a few roms based off cm7 for the vibrant and nexus s but i never released them. Im still learning to cook

Noob to SGS4G for T Mobile...

Okay people I just bought this phone and I'm coming from MyTouch 4G. I've been reading for the past 2 days about how to flash a SGS4G and honestly,..it's crazy! Little overwhelming to be Honest...to the point, I rooted my phone with Superoneclick, I have superuser, so I know it's rooted. Plus, I have Titanium Backup running on my phone. Everything is still FACTORY SET on the phone. It is running 2.2.1 Froyo. I did read about Froyo udate zip CWM and recovery and have downloaded them. My question is since I want to flash A Rom does it have to be Froyo only? If there is such a thing?? Or can it be Gingerbread 2.3.6? And is there anything else I need to download? I know I have to follow to the tee on the OP that the Dev. says to do. I just want to be sure exactly what I need to do..

The gb ext4 starter pack saved me alot of headache when I first got this phone. Hands down it is the best way to go. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly. Its guides like this and the people that make them that make XDA so great.
I'm new to it as well and like you are saying, it's overwhelming to root and flash on this phone. But I followed the GB starter pack the other day and included the Vahalla Final rom as my choice and everything worked great. Some things actually happened a hair different than described and I thought it screwed up but it worked.
But I think I just screwed up trying to do a restore

I'm on the same boat as the OP, I have a mytouch 4g and my cousin is about to upgrade soon, so she offered to sell me her galaxy s 4g for $75 so I'm gonna take up on it.
I've been spying on the forums here and have noticed that most of your guys' roms are gingerbread roms, (i didn't really bother to search, for I don't know for sure I'll keep this phone or sell both my mt4g and this new phone for a galaxy s ii), but anyways, I saw something about porting roms from the other galaxy phones, am I right?
I haven't seen any ics roms here yet, but I took a look at the vibrant forums and it appears they have an ics rom and i was wondering would porting the ics rom from the vibrant be possible if I wanted to try. Thanks

Most will tell you if you want a rom ported do it yourself. The devs are working on what they are working on. It isn't really our place as end-users to make request (my opinion of course) rather be grateful for all the awesome **** they have done and are working on. So no... it isn't easy.
And yes --> We have some fantastic ROMS.

I think some of that stuff is tucked deep away in threads, I'm not sure so please don't quote me, but isn't it technically illegal to flash a phone to a different carrier like that?
