[Q] Forum to post newcomer ROM? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I've never been active on xda, but I've recently started my own ROM.
I've uploaded all the code to github. I'm currently building the ROM again (to verify the upload) and put a binary on my root server....
Everything is fine so far. Except that it's impossible to write about it on xda. (Or on goo.im, but I don't expect too much interrest, I'll just put it on my root server).
So... Is there a more newcomer friendly forum where I could discuss a new ROM? And post links to github or deeplink to a update.zip file? Or should I just post 9x "Awesome ROM!" to get a good enough karma?

[DEV] GoogleCode page for Android on Photon

Hi devs (schlund, devras, tzacapaca, anynymous devs & future devs)
Since Cardsharing deleted all the photon kernel repository on GIT website (thank you Cardsharing), we need to do it again.
I suggest we use Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/GettingStarted
Google code has a project src hosting (for devs), a bug tracker (for devs and users), a wiki (for n00bs) and a download section.
The drawback is, all of you guys need a google ID to use it.
Otherwise we can continue with a new GIT repository, or use google SVN for that, or any other tool of your suggestion.
What do you think?
ok sorry i forgot, codiak already created this page for photon:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/
let's use this!
Sry for spamming, but why did Cardsharing delete all hes posts ?

Though cardsharing is a great developer but is being childish at this time. He just believe r0bin, schlund and other developers are not supporting him.
@cardsharing: stop acting rude dude. Think evaone is developing their part of job and developing their part of work. Please don't act so badly and help us porting android on hd mini.
thanks r0bin, schlund and other developers for porting android for us.

This release has been done by Schlund, using his new kitchen!
To my knowledge, it is similar to the previous latest release, but thanks to schlund's kitchen it takes less space.
Schlund's Kitchen is a tool for devs (many thanks Schlund, this tool is very powerful!)
It allows you to update and modify easily the files stored inside system.ext2, init.rd and kernel and generate those files for test & release.
Schlund also wrote a wiki here:
http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/wiki/GettingStartedWithTheKITCHEN
Regarding releases changes, don't worry, if there is any bug fixed this will be posted on the forum.
Till now, we're still working on 3G, little progress:
photon can now be "attached" to GPRS, next step is IP configuration.
be patient...
Thank you for your answer Robin.. & Thanks for schlund also.
No problem.. I will be patient
I just wanted to say if new packages, as I said: Please if something new we must know.. for helping or something else..
Anyway Thanks

Problem with Android Project and Mercurial

Hey,
I'm not really new to this forum but I was only a quiet reader and no great "poster". So I wasn't allowed to post in the development section. (I also don't wanted to post some useless spam only to get those 10 Posts, Would there be any other way to enable this for me?).
My Problem:
I configured a Mercurial Repository (hosted by Bitbucket) and uploaded an Android Project from my netbook. Everything worked (and works) fine so far (I'm able to Commit&Push changes).
But as I try to clone/import the repository on my other Computer, Eclipse doesn't recognizes my Project as an Android Project and that "Convert to Android Project" doesnt't work. (Using Ubuntu 10.10)
So, I guess there are a couple of great devs out there in this forum, that have experience with how to import an Mercurial-hosted Android Project into your workspace. Please help me
Greetings,
Ansgar
P.S. Sorry if I posted in wrong category or did some spelling mistakes (I'm an 16-year-old German boy).
Sorry for disturbing you guys.
Figured out which files to ignore and which not. Will post the .hgignore tomorrow in case someone finds this thread by searching.

PDroid 1.27 (Privacy app) patched for Rocket Rom v21.

Hey everybody.
I've been testing PDroid which in my opinion is better than LBE, because it gives me more control of my privacy.
I'm sharing a PDroid patch compatible with Rocket Rom v21 that I made moments ago.
It's very easy, just point the Windows version to your rom and it makes two patches, a new one and a restore.
Then flash with CWM.
PDroid-RESTORE-ROCKET-v21-LA4-eybee1970.zip
PDroid-v1.27-ROCKET-v21-LA4-eybee1970.zip
Flash the PDroid v1.27 file with CWM.
After just download the app from the market.

Big thanks to the dev svyat.
Did u need a new thread when there are already a few
Just saw that your thread is on General discussion.
It should have been on this part of the forums since this is an app, that's why I didn't see it.
I searched on this forum.
Anyways feel free to copy those links to your thread or whatever, just sharing with the community.

Please help on info for Creating custom rom

Hey All! I have been lurking around the forums and reading intensively on how to create a ROM but all I get usually is moreso on how to modify an existing rom, not actually create one from scratch, the steps involved in creating one, either from a Download of the base rom (un-rooted ) or pulling files off the phone itself via (adb pull /system )
If you know of any good info that may be of use to me please feel free to post a link! Any help would be appreciated!
**I currently have/use the Samsung Galaxy Prevail (SPH-M820 ) boostMobile, so anything directly related would be appreciated**
Thankx!
This is the very core of it!
Android source
You will be able to download compile and build a ROM, although, all of those threads on modifying ROM's will then come in handy because you are going to have a lot of tweaking as well.
If you are interested in Cyanogenmod source have a look HERE
Also check out the Chef Central section subforum Android. Lots of good stuff there.
imheroldman - Thanks I appreciate the links! , and those are some I have NOT run across yet lol :facepalm:

[Completed] [Q] Pls help frustrated me locate download for AOKP MR1?

Being very tired of my I847 Rugby Smart's lackluster performance, I've been reading these threads for months now and I still cannot find a download link for the referenced AOKP MR1 to install on my phone. So in the interested of time and reduce my frustration, can someone (motorhead1991?) PLEASE post a link or pm me with a link? And I assume the normal recovery/read .zip file instructions will work?
Thank you from an "old coot"

I think you are looking for this thread: [ROM][SGH-I847] AOKP-MR1 4.2.2 apache.
But last post in this thread is from October 2013 ... so the dev may not be supporting this ROM version any more.
If you need more information about your device, check the Samsung Rugby Smart (SGH-I847, Galaxy W Variant) Super Thread, and ask your questions in the corresponding Q&A thread.
Good luck !
Thread closed and thank you.
