[GUIDE] Revolution´s Ultimate ROM Cooking Guide

This is how i made Revolution HD
You need :
Sidekick 4G
Stock ROM
How to make a ROM :
* Get the modem and kernel (zImage) you want to use
* Open the kernel with winrar & extract kernel_flasher .
* Get the APK file's you want on your ROM .
* Open the Stock Deodexed ROM
* Open /UPDATES
* Input your desired modem & kernel inside /UPDATES & Input them .
* Open /META-INF /COM /GOOGLE /ANDROID
* Open updater-script in Notepad ++
* Rename to whatever you want .
* Open /SYSTEM /APP & input the application's you want on the ROM
* You can delete alot of bloat which is application's you don't need
* Open /SYSTEM /XBIN & place SU in there for SuperUser permision's to root your ROM
* Open build.prop in /SYSTEM with Notepad & ro.build.display.id = the name of your ROM
* ro.build.version.release= is the firmware version number you can change .
* Go to uot.dakra.lt & upload your framework-res.apk there & wait for them to cook your desired theme .
* Go to /MEDIA to change sound's , audio , video & boot animation .
* Go to /SYSTEM /ETC & make a folder called init.d & place all your desired script's in there , IE Zipalign , SDCARD tweak's , RAM tweak's & RAM script's .
* Go to /SYSTEM /BIN & rename recovery to recovery.bak & input a modded recovery in there , IE : Krylon360's recovery
* Flash your ROM & feel the difference from stock

most of this will work fine with other phones as android is structured almost the same way across the all devices. find the phone you wanna work on. get a base rom to build off of. and start crackin. er umm "cookin"

Dude I would so love to help bc I bought my chick a sidekick she didn't like it bc before that she had HTC whick was a mytouch 3g slide so she's wanting me to buy her the 4g slide so when I do that ima keep her sidekick and its game on so I will keep in contact with u k bc one big reason I want her phone is bc it has the wolfson chip set in it or what u would call audio hardware but ne ways we will talk forsure k bro

Since this technique should work on other phones, are we able to use these steps on a ROM such as CM nightly? I would like to make my own ROM for my G2 as well as my wife's sidekick and would like to have 2.3.x on my G2 still. Thanks for the guide, I hope to use it very VERY soon!

theres nothing i can find that would make it different for another device you could do these steps with any rom so im sure it will work but just to be sure wait for rev.

Um new to the sk4g, dont you need kitchen to sign it all for flashing?

Rev. can we use a radio/modem file from another Samsung phone ...because as of now we have no other options at this time ...

You cannot sign a ROM correctly, as you are not Samsung and do not have their official signing keys. We use a custom recovery to circumvent key checking, so ROMs do not need to be signed.
Typically Modems for different phones don't work, as they are designed per phone. You could try out different modems, but you would have to be proficient with Odin, as flashing the wrong modem will soft brick you.

So we dont have to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 ?

Nope , just use this guide .

Extracting Boot Image from tar.md5

As the Title says. Could someone tell me how to extract the Boot Image and the system and META-INF folder from the ROM I downloaded?

first u can change extension from .tar.md5 to .tar then you can use for example Total Commander.

I can't seem to find the system and META-INF folders. Any clue's as to where to look?

oooo got it. These folders don't belong to Odin/.tar packages but to CWM/.zip files. Files that are included in .tar packages have extensions .bin or .img. There are no folders there.

First thing-- if you are a n00b without much knowledge about ROM/Kernel/ etc.. Dont venture into the ROM development etc. world u will end up screwing the device.. Read,understand,ask.. then when u feel u know enough go ahead--
Still if you want to know--Then--
Put the factoryfs.img,cache.img into the original update folder of HTC kitchen.. then Open the kitchen using Cygwin.. And tap option 1.. then press enter .. then press 1..then wait it will extract.. then when u get a set of instructions.. Open ext2explore and select the new ext4_factoryfs.img in WORKING FOLDER-sytem.. then right click and save.. It will extract the system--
There u get your /system... Thats what I did

Oh Great Titanium God! Accept me as your humble student! I'm serious. I'm absolutely dying to become a developer. Tried learning to make Android apps but im too dense forobject oriented programming. Any tips?

It would be great if you can post some links from where we can learn how to make custom ROMs . . .
Its never too late to start & it would be great to learn the nuances of CROM making.

Yes for a guide--there are plenty of them so far I have come across 4 tutorials .. But for a beginner I suggest you go to the Galaxy SL android development forum and check the tutorial made by bangalorerohan.. There is still lot that goes into making a Custom ROM but that tutorial should help to get you started.. Also follow that guide to the T and u will be able to make one for the Galaxy SL .. You can use it to make for other phones also but some aspects may change...

I'm sure I can handle all of that. If there's a way to unbrick, then that's just too good. It takes my fear of flashing roms away. I don't care how long it takes. I just need a path to follow.

[APP]Overclocking without Terminal

Hey there,
i wrote a little app which helps you to set the maximum frequencies of our O3D's.
It just does an "echo *selected speed* > /proc/opperator". So you no longer need a Terminal Emulator to set the max frequencie.
I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone, so overclock only if you know what you do.
For this app to work your Phone must be rooted and you must have a kernel with Overclock module support (thanks to bedwa and tekahuna), e.g. Titan Kernel by samo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547319
Sorry for my english
P.S.: If somebody found a bug, please report and i'll try to fix it
Have Phun!
Well i heard forums tryin' to destroy my files, so I uploaded it to my dropbox.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13063581/SetOveclockO3D.apk

Yeah seems like your apk isn't signed properly or it has been corrupted on upload...

Nice one, this is a time saver.

very useful app! well done! thank you very much from all community
one question, after set frequency, what must i have to do? tap back, exit the app, tap home button?
thanks

Dont mean to take the glory away from the work the dev has put in but you can just download Rom Toolbox from the market and use the scripter function which allows you to write your script echo 1300000000 > /proc/opperator for instance and have it run every boot .

I have some issue with the app, its like freeze after I set the frequency.
so home button is the only way.

i forgot to put the files in the lib modules folder my bad find and put them there the cosmo_gb files are in my dna thread..

It's useful for setting OC in real time, thanks for that.
But I think it's better make an app with a slider for setting max speed, test device, and if all it's ok, make changes on init.d script. (test it first... better than have device freeze whenever it starts up xD)

One question guys. I have stock 20 c Rom and samno 1.2 kernel .Do i need to overclock to 1200 using this metod or i can just instal SetCPU from Google Play? And do i need to overclock at all to have 1200(because when i do benchmark its telling me that i have 1200)?Thx.

Hi Guys,
I am trying to port CRT effect to Galaxy Y.For those how don't know what CRT effect is can view the video.This is a test version so don't expect it to work on the first time.I need some testers for the CRT effect.
Instructions
the file is flashable Zip
Backup first
Download the file
reboot to recovery
Flash the zip file
clear dalvik Cache
reboot
it will boot but will not have CRT effect you have to upload the logcat for finding the problem
then report here or on my facebook group

I am using the files from Repencis v3 - DXLC1 so try this on that ROM.or you can try it on stock DXLC1 ROM also.
the file is flashable Zip
CRT_Effect.zip
apply this zip through recovery
then clear dalvic cache
then boot into phone and manually copy the services.jar file to /system/framework using root explorer
then reboot to recovery and wipe dalvic cache again
then report and give logcat

Will it work on all stock roms ?

it's so bad, it's kinda cool.
mimics an imperfection of an older technology, that the new technology has already gotten rid of. it's as ludicrous as 7-segment-digit-display fonts on a hi-res display.

Watch This And Listen to part 00:17
the main reason we are here in XDA is to develop what our android phones dont have(CRT Effect)
You may state your own opinion, there are no rules against that. But please respect the developers work.
You may say it is not worth the risk of bricking ur phone, but for others as myself CRT effect is awesome stuff.. I know its that simple effect when you turn off a cathode ray tube TV or something similar. But it adds some effect that can make ur phone unique in some point..So if you have ur own crititics about this thread.Please save it to urself, and vivek is just asking for testers, you may or may not test it.

Bootloops and bricks are what makes a true developer. Keep up the good work, buddy!

Step by Step :
Step 1 : Make sure have an Android Terminal Emulator app (or similar) installed.
Step 2 : Open it and then type "su"
Step 3 : After ATE (Android Terminal Emulator) app granted for system access. Now, type "surfaceflinger" on your phone.
Step 4 : Now, your phone will be bootanimation-blinking. Don't worry! It will not damage your screen. Just wait until 1 minute or more.
Step 5 : After that, type "reboot" to reboot your phone OR if not worked, try to replacing your battery and then boot it up!
If you scarry with this tutorial, very recommended to make a Nandroid backup first!. Please tell me it is worked or no. Sorry for my bad english.

by default each of their values are set to 1x
now change each of them to .5x
feel the difference

I will try it, thanks :good:

But based on this explaination and many others on the net Surfaceflinger isnt responsible for the touchscreen driver it controls the frame buffers and everything that is drawn on the screen not the Touch input
plz read and share your thoughts

work at me but no huge chance

done everything step by step and nothing changed
