Hello everybody,
I'm new to android developing, I've been flashing roms since I got my nexus s 2 years ago,
did lots of rom updates for my friends ad stuff.
I really wanted to learn how to develop android roms, so I decided to follow the steps and compile my first
cm10.1 for my nexus s with the help of the cm wiki.
After some day learning the most I could out of linux bash and the process to compile a rom, I finally got a working rom.
Well, I have a xoom 2 too, so I thought, what if I could try to build a rom for it, I know it would be hard, but it would be good so I could learn more about developing.
I'd like to know if with the safestrap 3.1, the lastest we have now, if it's possible to compiled a rom for xoom2 (mine is mz607), if the safestrap would be able to rom another rom than the official one, because the little I used it, it was looking fully functional, but I didn't find answer of what is possible or not to do with it in the thread.
If you say so, I'm gonna do my best to develop one, specially now that I have free time for the next weeks,
if anyone can help me out, with any kind of help I would be glad.
Thanks a lot

Just need a little guidance please, I've done a couple of custom firmwares in the past for the original PSP when it was first hacked and have missed the tinkering.
I'd like to have a go with the ZT-180 tablet V2 that runs Android 2.2..
I have the latest build ready to take apart etc but I was wondering, is there a guide (or can someone help) on testing this on an emulator first and making sure that I don't brick my wifes tablet when testing!!!?
I did a search but couldn't find specifics on if it be OK with tablets and using emulators?!?!
Thank you
Hello, I am new to XDA-Developers and so this isn't in the Development forum and I'm sorry for that. What I need to ask is about making a ROM. I want to make a ROM out of the AOSP Jelly Bean ROM, and port it to the Triumph:laugh:, but I don't know about compatibility issues. My question is: Do any of you guys know if the Triumph is compatible with dsixda's ROM Kitchen? It isn't on the supported devices list, but dsixda himself said that more devices might work with it, so if any of you have tried using the Kitchen I'd like your help. Thanks.
Good to see that you're motivated, but there's already a major roadblock to widespread ICS adoption on the Triumph because the camera won't work and the files needed to get it working aren't publicly available. You'll probably run into the same issues, making this project kinda dead in the water.
Good luck but the kitchen can only do so much. If you do use it, you will have to make manual edits to get things to work. But I don't think you can just port JB to our phones, especially with the kitchen. You will need to build from source, I am pretty sure. But don't let me stop you, just trying to give you a heads up. Try some things out and then ask some questions in the forums and somebody should be able to help you get on the right path.

I am going to try an experimental build on my friend's Triumph (I don't have one) and I'll post in this thread the results, and then I'll go from there.
I don't think that dsixda's kitchen works with the Motorola Triumph. I currently use it for the Galaxy S2 SGH-t989! But in the near future updates he may have add support for that device! And if you wanted to do Jelly Bean then you would have to get the android source code and build it from source! Building from source is much harder than building from port.
I really hope this helped and I wish you the best of luck with your development!
Hi guys!
I have been really interesting on creating a custom rom, and I don't know how to do it, I've read a lot of tutorials but I just can't do it.
I was hoping that you could give me a tutorial, or even open a thread to help who is trying to build a rom and doesn't know how to do it.
That would be extremelly good for ace plus, because we would get more developers to our phone, and who knows they could get really good at developing, that they could help devs to fix the bugs on their roms.
Best regards,

Building a custom rom is not so easy like you think...
Sometimes it takes 3 months to build a rom...
And 1000 guides explain how to do this

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum but have been around the block a few times when it comes to software development, albeit not at a hardware level. I've got a couple old Android phones that I'm looking to root and play around with, but I'm having some trouble with the vernacular. The first device I'm trying is the newest of the old lot, a Nexus S (crespo).
I'm trying to install the "Guru" kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...-guru-t2783561), but can't see how <4MB would be a complete system image. Does this kernel just reflect a patch that should be applied to the CM ROM, and if so, which one? I've rooted the phone using SuperOneClick but don't know where to go from here.
Thanks for helping this noob out, guys and gals. Cheers from Australia!
Hello everyone! I got some good news!
I may be the first person to make a custom rom for this great device!
But, however, I have to dissapoint you. The first Custom rom will be still Android 5. I managed to boot android 6, but there are just to many bugs. So, Soon a am going to build AOSP or Cynaogenmod for our device. (Omni too, maybe?)
I will delete this thread once i managed to build the rom, so you will notice.
(PS: Please give me time. It will take some time....)
EDIT!!!: The first thing I will focus on is making a custom kernel.
can you share your android 6 build? i was trying to port it from chuwi but didn't succeed. about AOSP... well, acer's source code has many bugs. i tried myself to compile 5.1.1. AOSP but it just won't boot, both x86 and x86_64 version. it finishes without errors but when i flash the img files it hangs on black screen, no boot animation. probably my fault, because i'm not a pro programmer.
for the kernel part... it compiles and seems to work ok, but i couldn't get wifi and bluetooth running. and yeah, slimport drivers need some rework, they are the reason for screen flickering, don't know if you noticed it.
all in all, very bad job acer made, even i as beginner could see that.
but, good luck to you, i'd love to see some custom rom in near future and if you need beta, alpha testers, here i am
Please do not create any more of these "Coming Soon" threads on XDA and especially not in Development forums.
