those are basically the same directions as any other device....
the kitchen works with nearly EVERY device...and its the same basic principle.
HOWEVER
when you want to look for info on how to work on roms, you cant just limit yourself to searching for information for your specific device. its all pretty much the same across the devices. motorola tends to get a little trickier, sometimes....
samsung and htc are very similar to work with until you get down into the smali and the meat of the device...
you will see. just keep looking up info on building roms from a plethora of sources. dont just limit yourself to the skyrocket forums
I'm thinking of building a ROM of sorts, and I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in it.
The ROM would basically be what i run on a daily basis. A combination of a ROM and Kernel that work well together, with my own tweaks, changes, and settings baked right into it.
The idea would be that you would flash the rom, then forget you ever did. No changing frequency, no profiles, no Undervolting, no flashing other kernels, just the ROM and nothing else needed. (and I'd discourage trying it)
I would change UV settings to work on most phones, and a small overclock (most likely a 1.1 or 1.2Ghz), as well a stock Frequency/Voltage version. and each version would be stable enough to use as a daily driver.
It would most likely be a 'Flavor of the week' kind of thing, and I'll most likely change the base rom/kernel somewhat frequently (like once a month at most) to what I'm using that's stable.
So, does this sound good to anyone, or am i building for a demographic that's not there?
I would use it if u make it for the photon

sounds like a great idea... in this trend of rapidly developing roms, a stable rom with recent source changes for a change is great to fallback to.
Do you have any rom development experience? where would you rate your skill level at?

Sounds like a really good idea, I myself sometimes get sick of constantly flashing & re- setting up my phone the way I like it, a good long term rom with everything would be awesome. How bout using the new 2.3.4 stock as a base?

ive been programming in C/java for about 4 years now, (2nd year programming student currently) and ive been building my personal roms from source for about 6 months, and in the past few months ive started actively changing source code, integrating parts from some kernels and ROMs, and adding things to system apps (like voltage control and frequency mod in the settings.apk)
however, on the other hand, i do have fairly large gaps in my knowledge. i only barely know how to use github, and i haven't really dealt with the Linux/android kernel much before this.
honestly, on a scale from 1-10 (1=android user, 10= developer like Whitehawkx/Morfic) id say about 7.

i feel im a very competent programmer, but there are thing i am pretty much oblivious too. outside of android I've got a good portfolio of programs and source, but when it comes to android, I'm still learning. (and i definitely feel your more knowledgeable than me)
Do it one more person helping the community isn't a bad thing. You're obviously knowledgeable enough. Once you start playing with it and have a base crowd that likes what you do you'll get further involved and make a great rom in my eyes. You're willing to help everyone and give a very insightful solution to most and all types of questions.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I agree with the above, but be weary of the people who destroy devs by all the nagging and begging.
Anticipating the arrival of this ROM!
I would do it. If you can base it off of stock with some cm7 improvements that would be cool, like with weapon g2x. I was using weapon till I switched to HFP.
Sent from my Handheld Portal Device
I will always support you, you always have long detailed responses to everyones questions and if anyone complains about your rom, let me know we will have a flame war. We don't want to lose a dev. Also I'm sure the other devs I'll help you out if you have any questions because they are all amazing people IMO. Go for it! Even if no one uses it, its a learning experience for you. You have nothing to lose

well ok then, it looks like im gonna go for it. thanks for all the support!
it will be ICS, and im still not sure about what ROM and Kernel i will base it off of (i still want to get permission from the original devs first).
keep a lookout for it coming soon(ish)!
ive also asked a mod to lock this (i dont want a hype machine happening that i cant live up to!)
locked as requested!
edit: This is now a work in progress thanks a bunch to bdad34 for taking up this project
okay so this phone has been around for a while we have CM7 im wondering any DEV would be willing to port MIUI GB for us i believe that by doing so whoever does this will bring more attention to our phone and help get us more support from the community or atleast help make it a little more active now i know that MIUI v3 is CM7 based and shouldnt be too huge of a problem so too any dev i beg you please please please make a Port for us

I almost got a port from O2X working but it doesnt seem to want to run. its gonna be pretty dificult to do considering no MIUI ROM that has an OMAP 4430 cpu. granted im a very Basic knowledged person when it comes to porting. id love to help to the best of my ability on porting it over if anyone is interested.
Its a nice rom seems still not miui

The basic requirements would be same CPU, same baseband. Best if the wifi, GPS, touchscreen, audio chips are identical also. If not it would be quite difficult since some kernel hacks would be required.
I will give it a whirl
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
Yay! Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'd just like to say that as of today I have sold my One S and decided to move on the the GS3. Why? Mainly because I'm looking for something with a better and larger screen. And the fact that HTC doesn't give a crap about development for our phones. The crappy bootloader unlock has been pissing me off, especially since I am on hboot 1.14 and I have to test different ROMs very often, needing to flash in fastboot every time. Without S-OFF, this phone can never archive its full potential, such as repartitioning the nand so that more GBs are allocated for personal use.
But this doesn't mean that I will completely stop developing for the One S. I will continue to update the ParanoidAndroid and AOKP JellyBean until or if they become official. I can't be the official device maintainer though. But the builds will keep coming and shouldn't have any major issues other than the ones in CM10. The kernels, however, will probably remain how they are now because it is nearly impossible to blindly develop and debug a kernel.
Thanks for all the support here; it was TONS better than the Galaxy Player community. I appreciate all the helpfulness and attitude in these forums and what a great dev experience I've had here.
thanks for all your work. I want the gs3 to but can't justify the price
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Thank u so much and enjoy with your new phone. But now I feel sad, because your kernel gives me sooo goood battery life and a very smooth phone... You didn't make the two cores to be online like the other kernel here.
So what will I do when the jelly bean come to my phone, and some new updates?? I won't have your kernal anymore.
Now there is only one kernel which I prefer not to touch, only because of the dual cores which are always online.
Also there is not much devs here... I don't believe we will see other kernels here.
So you bought a new phone and that's great for you... But I feel that we lost someone very important - you ;(
Anyway, thanks for your amazing work here.

Alright no problem.
Hi Klin, i've been using your kernels and they've been rock solid.
Thanks for everything that you've given to the one S community.
It's a pity that you're leaving, but oh well, no one will be using the same phone forever anyway.
I do agree with you that the half ass unlock is a deal breaker.
Good luck, and i hope you will continue to enjoy development with the GS3 community.
Cheers!
Yeah, you've done a ton for us One S users, but I can't say that I blame you. I'm just holding out for the Note 2

I can only echo the replies of my fellow XDA members. You are one of the best devs here and always very helpful.
I too will be moving to the Note 2 in February when myTMobile contract expires and moving to Verizon. Tired of pitiful coverage in Dayton Ohio.

I heard the S3 is cursed. You should probably get rid of it and get the 1S back. You know, for your own protection.
Just kidding. But seriously, please don't go :crying:
Hello all!
I'm MBQsniper, aka Kyler, and this an app I'm working on.
What is it?
It's a mobile version of my CPU guide found in my signature, it's a heavy work in progress, so don't expect anything too fancy. yet. Ill be adding a section for I/O Schedulers soon, along with other things im going to keep a secret for now.
Information regarding the app:
It was made in Eclipse, using Ubuntu 10.04.4
Copied/pasted with very few changes straight from my guide
Again, it's a heavy work in progress, but will get better as times goes on
Bugs:
As of right now, I have found no bugs using the app with my rooted Toro (VZW GNex) running Android 4.2.2, if you find bugs, please report them with as much detail as possible.
Changelog:
3/13/13:

If you're wanting critiques I'd link to works cited. If it's a non-standard governor I'd want to know who made it, if they still actively develop it, and what their definition is- unless your definition is better. Personally I like knowing what the creator was intending as it's rather unconventional to use a nonstandard governor. Also,I could see this extend to explain tcp congestion avoidance algorithms and io schedulers.
Also, if they had visual explanations that always helps... but only if they can be explained in a uniform pattern.
There are several faqs like this in forum posts. If someone did it right it'd be nice to have a definitive reference. Depends on how far you want to take it
