Hi
How can I find All-in-One Toolkit for htc desire s?
By creating it. Captain Obvious says - if you can't find it, it probably doesn't exist.

If hi couldn't find it, then he probably didn't look at the right spot, or it is spread on parts.
And also he didn't explain what kind of tool does he looking for!
apktool for example is the best tool for repacking and editing apps.
the kitchen is the best tool for cooking up ROM's.
backsmali is perfect tool for editing smali files.
What else?
SignApk is excellent tool for signing apps and zips.
Simply collect them all in one place aside with the android sdk, and you will have some kinda perfect all in one tool for any android device!
He simply didn't know what to look for!

Hi,
I'm new here and have been looking at some tutorials on rom kitchens and rom ediing for my HTC Wildfire. I was jst wondering how to port, say, the android 2.3 rom or something from the android SDK and use it on my phone. I'd also like to know how easy/hard it is.
Thanks,
sato

Do you know anything about programming? Do you know anything about Linux? Do you have any driver building experience?
I f you answer no to anyone of these, I would say it's extremely hard.
Thanks. I don't really know much about any of those things (Except a tiny bit about linux) oh well...

hey why give up so easily? if you really wanted to learn there are so many threads to get you started. first get a linux distro, ubuntu recommended for most people.
there's dsixia's kitchen around somewhere. play with that a little. read the script's he uses in that kitchen. you'll learn a bit.
then onto building. cyanogen's wiki shows how to build from source and set up your machine to sync with it etc etc. get those sorted and try learn the above mentioned
Cool!
Are there any links to these (Or are we not allowed to post them?)
Does it have to be a linux distro? Can I use OSX?
Hacking is cool, but the problem is that it is very hard, and demands a lot of experience.

Sorry about bringing back this old thread, but I'm also interested in this. I have programming experience with C, C++, C# and Java. I've also developed apps for Android. I've been using Ubuntu as my main operating system for a while now, so I'm good with Linux too. The only thing I lack is the driver programming experience. I'd still like some info/tutorials about porting ROMs, if anyone knows any good ones.
hey i been wondering the same thing. i been trying to play with m10 tools and been skining apk files with apkmanager for the last bit but have been wanting to port the ics sense 3.5 well at the very least re size it but cant find any guides, full guides to do this. anything pointing in the right direction would be great just dont say search xda been there done that. google works better.... but still doesnt give much info on porting besides some basic files to change but leaves out how to re size

Can't mess with 3.5 yet as they new files can't be decoded properly. For resizing you have to edit all the demention xmls on all the apks and m10 files. Lots of trial and error. Make sure you good with logcat
maybe this can help a little

by deleting the map where all the files are or, if you hae installed it using a setup,
use the uninstaller program.
*** THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER EFFORT TO CREATE YET ANOTHER CUSTOM ROM***
Though Android is opensource, a lot of things are unknown regarding ROM development/modification. There are many custom ROMs available for Galaxy 3 (and also other phones) and lot of people are flashing them and making their phone more responsive, productive and faster; but very few people actually knew how to go about developing the ROM.
What I intend here is to find out and document correct way to build ROM for our favorite Galaxy 3, which is very popular in India.
The goal will be to develop the ROM from Android source + Drivers from stock ROM while documenting the process so that large number of people can contribute to the development.
I will shortly update the posts with what I have done.

looking forward to what you come up with
Making one aint difficult keeping it bug free might get sometimes
Thanks rudolf895
I have experience in Android SDK and NDK development, but I am a noob when it comes to ROM development. Thats why this effort.
I have fetched android source using repo as well as I have also downloaded source for I5801 from Samsung open source website. After this I will look into extracting drivers from stock ROM and successfully compiling it for Galaxy 3.

hehe, cant wait to see what you come up with, sounds promissing btw... i am also willing to help whereever i can, whereas this wont be too much in this case i guess.
good luck and thanx...
TY ..!
Thanx alot
This would be really helpful to alot of members here
interesting ! waiting ....
I applaud your thread, I myself was thinking about such a concept.
I wanna help, but I cant do that much (basic knowledge of C and basic/little knowledge of linux and adb).
I think first there should be a list of basic stuff. Like compiling the sources, extracting factoryrfs and co from your phone etc... Sometimes if you wanna start doing something and you dont know the basics you get scared off because of their apparent tremendous lack of knowledge.
I'd probably start dabbling if somebody told me how to compile the sources.
can you also specify your work environment, toolchain and such stuff, so anyone can start from zero? there is a kernel building vm image with all tools by sztupy somewhere on the forum that is eventually of interest, and there is also an extended version containing eclipse and some more tools for full android development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882010
hope this helps somebody...
Did you try using it? I think the scripts are specific and cant be used by us (without altercation)
no, i have absolutely no idea of kernel compilation and all that advanced stuff, but i guess it can be adapted for our use
Yup...me too in waitin line...Now i can say i dint made a mistake by buying it...

maybe you can create a ".tar" package including all those files.. .tar is flashable in odin..
So I have an old account on here, but I never used it for what it is intended to be. And quite honestly, I didn't like the account name. But what I'm really asking for here is help. I want to be a developer, but I dont know where to start. I want to learn how to make and/or port roms, how to theme other roms, and even make my own apps. If anybody would care to help a noob out, I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you in advance for your time, and any help that I recieve.
I would suggest learning java language which the source code is wrote in if you want to be a developer. But if you want the easy root look for the guides on cooking roms using kitchens then you can create roms with little programming knowledge.

Thanks for the tip on java language. And I know about the kitchens and such, its just that I don't have a mac or a linux based computer, and from what i read, you have to have one of those for a kitchen to work.
ubuntu is always free for download from their website (you can run it from a flash drive or dual boot it alongside windows)
ubuntu will install within the windows file system also and let you dual boot. might be a bit of a learning curve but its by far the best os to use when just getting started and even for more advanced usage..
once you are done with ubuntu as long as you installed it using the wubi installer you can remove it from add remove program etc...
First step on the journy to becoming a developer would be the most important one:
Learning to use search functions.
Your question has already been covered multiple times in this subforum.

Hi,
I'm following the Nexus S Android Development for 6 month now and Rom and Kernel flashing is a a real addiction for me (I flash everyday).
And, since the beginning i want to create my own Rom.
At first, I want to build one from another one (Cyanogen or another).
So, If someone can give me tutos, tools, tips and advices, I'll be very grateful.
Thanks to everybody, waiting for your help.

Hey you know i find myself sharing this exact interest as you. Let's collaborate and learn this Create A ROM Project
Notice to see the motivation to create a new ROM.
How good are your Linux skills? If you want to do it all properly I suggest you try and build your own AOSP ROM first (from the Adroid Open Source Project).
This is the place where Google publishes the Android source code files. Actually the site is fantatic and guides you through the entire process, but it does require you to understand the basics of the maketools in Linux.
Once you've been able to compile the source, you'll actually have a perfect stock ROM version of Android. Then, you can start doing advanced things to it. Add a different Kernel, add apps, install tweak scripts etc etc etc, the options are endless.

Good luck and have fun, because it is

Hi everyone,
As the title suggests, I'm a Mac user and am interested in buying a cheap android phone to 'mod' with a custom ROM.
Much of the online literature and advice only discusses the use of Windows machines to effect this.
Can it be done using a Mac? If so, can anyone suggest how I might do this?
I understand the process is different for each phone manufacturer and model.
Also, is there an idiot-proof ("one-click") means of doing this?
Many thanks
J

MacOS is based on BSD(UNIX).
Apple's "Dawin" Kernel - [github] - Link.
For the most part, you can follow the linux command line instructions.
It has been a few years since I used MacOS, I am not sure what still needs to be installed.
MacPorts and Homebrew host port(s) that are missing from MacOS..
MacPorts - [WebSite] - Link | Homebrew - [WebSite] - Link
You will also need 'SDK Platform Tools'.
SDK Platform Tools - [developer.android] - [WebSite] - Link
Have fun.
Cheers.
PS.
I have a new MacBookAir that I have not had time to set up yet.
