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.

hello mr. stefunel, i recently checked out your website romkitchen.org
. it is an appreciable work done by you. i downloaded the latest 2.3.4
gingerbread based JVR_Wipe.zip, version: v8 ROM, coupled with a stock
kernel and a jvr modem. i want to install it it on my galaxy s. But
after searching saveral resources over the internet, i didn't found
any way to do so. i got some old guides but i didn't found the new
one. as i am a beginner in doing these kind of things, i would
appreciate if you can provide a clean and complete guide of
installation. i would also like to suggest you, that it would be very
helpful to every user if you provide a section on installation guide,
on that particular website.
thank you.
Hi,
I am new to android ROM development. I searched the forum but could not find anything specific to my requirements.
Basically I need help in the following two things.
1. To make my own custom ROM.
2. To modify the call screen of that custom ROM and tailor it to my own needs.
Additionally i want to know, what is the learning curve of this whole stuff and how much time it will take to complete the above mentioned tasks.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Kind Regards
*My Device is HTC Wildfire S, However initially i want to work and test on the android emulator that comes with the android SDK.
Maybe you could start off with the Android Kitchen by dsixda and a base rom. Break up the base rom and start exploring the structure, make small modifications etc.... This will force you to investigate, search on google, do some trial and error,.... you will learn much more this way....
Also search this forum, it contains a massive amount of info on rom development...
I'm not sure how you can use the emulator to test your rom...
Hello fellow readers,
I was just curious to know how to make a custom ROM tutorial on internet looks like there are not many guides available for beginners to know how to develop of ROMand the threads available on XDA are bit confusing and I don't know which one to follow and whether they will work for latest version of android.
This is request to all the developer and knowledgeable person on letting me know how should I start building ROM and provide a tutorial for making custom ROM valid in 2017
Hope all will help to add a new developer to XDA.
Hello i have been a long time user of XDA and been installing custom ROMs and mods on all devices i owned and even few devices of my friends. I was amazed how developers make amazing ROMs and kernels for us which work even better than stock almost all the time. I am a college student with a fair bit of programming and linux knowledge but never got around to android development (except making apps which i have done). Can anyone suggest how can I start developing or from where do I start (the little bits) ? I currently own poco x2 and mi A1. Or if there's a good guide to it can anyone link it ? If the developers of Poco x2/k 30 can help guide me to the path of developing it would be amazing.
Thank you in advance ?.
I am no expert on this subject (am ok at searches and found this), may be these are good steps to start:
1. XDA resource - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-build-custom-roms-kernel-t3814251
2. Pray , so that more devs will join with you on custom dev for this device.
Edit: BTW, am already praying since we have been able to unlock bootloader.
check here: its already started
collab with others who are already onboard

Hello all I'm just surprised to see no new ROMs for this device. It would be so nice to sport custom ROMs on this very handy phone.
Also, if anyone knows about how to contribute to a ROM or maybe a beginner's guide to porting a ROM to this device, any resources would be greatly appreciated!
