i googled "build android rom from source" and got this website that tells you step by step on how to do it. I have ubuntu installed and actually its updating now but i will have everything i need by the end of the night and im hoping just for personal gain in knowledge that i can have a successful booting rom by saturday night. grant it that its nothing special to the devs or even the community but we all have to start somewhere right?
If anyone was interested my build won't be done by Saturday. I kind of accidentally messed up my boot partition and am putting windows 8 on my laptop then I will reinstall Ubuntu and try again. I came to a stepping stone though as I was in process of making a rom from source and may require some help. I hope a couple of devs may be able to assist me if I need them.

Everyone starts where you are. It's ok!
May I suggest getting acquainted with the XDA forum first.

There are items at the top of each forum called stickies. They're articles that everyone should read. Read the ones at the top of the general and development forums.
You should familiarize yourself with Odin, which will allow you to flash a ROM with CWM. Check out the Bible.

There is also Heimdall (for win, mac, and linux) which uses the same protocol as Odin (loke), but is open-source and is not leaked unsupported software.
There is a lot to read about. The point I'm making is we can type the same thing over and over in this forum, but most of what were talking about is in a sticky thread.
Lol thanks guys but I am no noob I just feel like one. I had a vibrant for 6 months and was a daily flasher. Just having trouble with clockwork on the 4g.

Well, read the sticky posts, and try my new kernel
It comes with CWM and Voodoo Lagfix.

Hey Everyone!
Running into a issue, I just cleared my CM7 rom and now trying to switch to Caty. (I need bluetooth in the car)
I cleared it with Odin, rooted, and have the newest Caty installed. Now the first time I'm booting up, I got passed the Samsung screen with the voice over installation and now it's been stuck on the moving graphics for the past half hour.
Does it really take this long to install or is something wrong?
Thanks in advanced!

As of right now, what is holding us back from porting gingerbread to our sidekicks? Is it drivers? Or a 2.3 kernel that runs? I need a list of what needs to be done exactly.

Thank you, but I've seen both of those and followed them to the end. I'm looking for a specific list of what is needed to port gingerbread to our device. As in i may take up the task of porting it
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA
Would probably be a good idea to continue where windixxi left off since hes the closest person to get ginger working on our phone.
i think i remember Sduvick explaining that the drivers for this device are not exactly generic, so we really need an official Gingerbread kernel from Samsung. i'm pretty sure he tried porting a gb kernel from another device, but without updated drivers for the SK4G, it was basically impossible. that's how i understand it anyway.
Thank you yogi for the info and yes pintek im aware of windxixi great work but i cant figure out his github at all. Its not labeled well.. so more or less its a drivers issue?

Basically? That's what I understood as well.
So instead of trying to port drivers we would have to write new drivers in theory since we don't have a source to build from?

Thanks for the reading orange. Gave me the idea that the kernel is going to have to be a makeshift mix and match type thing from kernels from multiple phones.

I agree.
As mentioned previously, maybe windixxi can provide some insight as well.
You're probably going to need some experience and knowledge of coding (i.e. C, Python, Java) and access to a Linux rig of some sort as well..

I recommend installing a hard drive specifically for your Linux environment and using the bios to switch between your boot OS.
But, I also have Ubuntu installed inside of VirtualBox. It's a bit slow, but it works inside of Windows.
so awesome that Samsung are such *****es about this haha
Sounds like i may be in need of a better computer. Ill see what i can do with what i have and start looking into kernels with stuff we need
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA
I think there's a kernel guide here you could look at.
A OC/UV Kernel would be fabulous.

I might try that to get me back into the groove of things, things are going slow with classes though so nobody should get their hopes up yet. But if i manage to buil an oc/uv kernel sucessfully, then my next project will be working on a gingerbread kernel. Ill keep you guys posted in the weeks to come.

If you (or other SK4G developers) are interested, I may be able to arrange a build server.
As in a place to host the kernels we build?

Hey whats going on guys? So this is my first post because usually everyone asks the same questions in the other threads. I found it weird when I would open some apps and it would have this turn dial thing and say "please wait to prepare app for use" or something similar. Decided to download Kasperky and see what it found. It found 4 threats all in my system memory. I tried deleting it but it wouldnt let me. I have my iMac with me in my apartment. The windows comp I used to root is at my parents house. Is there any way to fix this? Im hurtin' :crying:.
Thank you in advanced!
GS3 and Mac do not play nice together. I had to resort to bootcamp.

I know there is Rom toolbox that can flash a new Rom on your device reverting it back to either stock or a Rom of your choice that's all through the phone you can try that if you are rooted.
Or you can use the free version of mobile Odin and flash a new Rom etc

Hi guys, great forum btw.
I have an ainol novo8 discover, (a supposed quadcore ipad mini alternative)
I really need a new rom for this device as the stock firmware is terrible. However search as I mite I can find nothing.
The device is rooted and using es file explorer I tried to remove the bloatwarw, to no avail, uninstall unsuccessful is what im greeted by.
My first question is how do I uninstall these apps? I have dissabled them through settings-apps but I want them gone completely.
My second question is where do I start when working on a new rom for a device? Please note that ainol have yet to release the source code for the ainol discover.
Anyway guys thank you all for your time and patience, and please be aware im a newbie to all this so please do try to simplify your answers.

You have to give some time for people to reply lol, check out Rom Toolbox, you can uninstall everything is you want.
in the upper right is a box "Type to find your device" put your device in there and it will take you to your phone, from there you can access the info you are looking for.
Fair point, sorry.
Just very frustrating device.
Ainol havent released there firmware yet anyway so I guess theres no way of creating a rom without it.
Thankyou btw for mentioning rom toolbox, with that es file manager and a factory data reset I managed to get rid of all of the bloatware (that I know of ) off the device.
