Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place, but I have a question.. I want to build my own version of a rom from a dev github (purity rom). I read some guides but things aren't clear for me.. Can you point me to the right direction? What software do I need and so on.. I saw some people using kitchen, some using architekt, some using Linux and some Windows so a little help is needed.. What I want to do is download the rom from github, change some things like wallpapers, sounds and some apps and then rebuild, no crazy stuff.. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello guys!
I was browsing around and i thought maybe i could have creating my own ROM for android as a side project for creating my apps..
So i want to learn more about creating roms basicaly..
Where do i start?
What do i need to read? (or should read)
I found this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
But is this the right thing if i want to code my own ROM ?
Would be happy if i could get some of the questions answeared here.. I will continue looking on my own also.
Thanks!
So, there are so many people making really good roms now. even i want to try now
So how do you start cooking roms? or start making themes?
What software is needed? Do you need eclipse? Do you just need a file manager and an unzip utility?
Has anyone created a tutorial on cooking a rom?
I have some skill with android, and am pretty good and flashing and stuff, I wouldnt mind adding root a build that I like or taking something else out. Maybe add an app to the image, or add an option to my recovery image.
Where do I start?

i don't think there will be any "simple how-to's"... cause upon reading, i think this is not something simple...
though, maybe someone can create one... i hope...
Ya Even im good at android and have some little bit of knowledge.I too want to learn how the android roms are created and stuff like that.So any dev reading this.Please post a thread about rom cooking.
"How did you begin?"
A question that is in every Begginer mind like me...
it makes every one wonder very much like:
-How can I design my own custom rom?
-How can I start developing android apps?
So please every developer or an experienced android developer reply writing a way to start or begin something like this..
Thanks in advance for any help..
there are many guides on this forum that teach you how to start creating your own roms , especially for android. I believe most people start by taking a base rooted rom, and tweaking it with different mods to make it their own. In fact many of the "developers" here do just that. Take a base and mod it, or take someone elses base, like CM7 and start playing with it. Look around...
I suggest the same. Just take a base rom and extract it. Have a look at the source and try a few tweaks, add some apps to your rom, try to insert a new theme. Just play around a bit. You will face some "problems" which can be solved by using google. That is called learning I guess
App development: Start learning java and then download eclipse with android sdk and launch your first emulator.
And always have fun with android!

Hello,
I'm a newbie here.
looking for information on how to build very lean ROM.
under "lean" i mean the following:
is it possible to build Android ROM which has only one app - caller ?
yes, i know it may sound strange but i'm looking into this option.
it would be also good if someone could point at some custom ROM project stripped of Dalvik completely
with some apps in native code (if such does exist...)
i have experience of building Android from source but investigating
this problem made me seeking for community help.
any help appreciated.
thanks for your time.
Hi there,
You must read some guides and tutorials for that. Starting from:
1. This guide about how to port different ROMs to your device.
2. This guide about how to port AOSP ROMs to your device.
3. This guide about how to port a ROM to your device.
4. This guide about how to create a new ROM for your device.
5. This guide for ROM development beginners.
6. This guide in xda university for building your own android rom.
7. This guide in xda university for porting an aosp rom from source.
There are also instructions on the cyanogen mod wiki site about it.
A good place to ask if you have questions about it or need help, is Chef Central - Android. Many devs are watching this forum and can help quickly.
Good luck
Thanks for your answer.
Hey guys, so I came across this ROM a while back and I thought that someone would of compiled it by now but they haven't. So I have decided I will give it a shot. I know basic things about building Rom's but not much. I have set up my Ubuntu build environment and I'm ready to go. But I need help in the steps to make this ROM. So if anyone could help out I would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading and hope some of the top devs can help out here.
