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.

This belongs in Q&A not general, for future reference. I have reported this to the MODS, so they can move it.
if you're planning to flash jellybean then you need the boostrap from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19355021 , with that installed, go to dev section of the forum and d/l a custom rom and flash following steps in the op , remember always to make a backup of your current rom
sent from the gray stuff inside my skull

So, you're not "lazy", just apprehensive. There's nothing wrong with that. However, what we do here on xda isn't to spend time explaining all the pros vs/ cons to all ROMs available, nor is it anyone's assertion as to what the "best" ROM may be -as this is all very subjective to the individual. There's a hefty ROM list of threads in the development section, so it's your responsibility to read over each one (that may strike you as interesting) and make your own assessment to which you may choose.
Also, each ROM thread by our dev team has explicitly detailed installation instructions, so there should be no reason as to why you would run into trouble -so long as you read, re-read, and fully understand what you're getting yourself into.
Also, there's a handy little help thread that I started for any and all questions, problems, etc. So, if you happen to run into anything, feel free to post there. Myself and a few others maintain that thread, so you should expect an answer without the need of posting a new thread each time you have a problem.
for example ，the famous rom ViperS...i want to carry it to S3. But it always end in top screen。So， who can post a topic to teach us.
Much thankful! :good:

First of all this needs to be moved into Q&A section. Moderators please do this.
And to answer you question. You don't transplant rom, you port it, that is how people say it here, and that is how you should ask, for others to understand . Now this so called porting is very hard and long process and is unique from phone to phone. You would need a lot of time and skills to do this. The skills can be learned but if you have the time and the will you could do that. Just contact somebody from Viper team, maybe they can help you with some guides.
there are illegal vipers kangs on some forums, soon there will be official Viper rom for our device

Thanks for your answer.I also want to learn some skills verymuch.But I am afraid they may not have enough time and to be honest i don't want to disturb them...
Oh,next time i will pay attention to select forum.
Hi,
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but this forum is just so huge that I don't really know where to start.
So I bought a Moto G this year, rooted it and got xposed installer on it etc etc..this was a few months ago.
It's also been a long time since I've really been into getting more out of my phone. My question now is, is xposed still the
"big thing" to have on your rooted phone or is there something new/better out there now? I don't need anything super sophisticated,
just something that has a few options like changing your interface etc.. So yeah..Am I still good with Xposed or is there anything new
and if there is, how do I "uninstall" xposed and install this new software/app/..
Thank you!
Kind regards!
Hi,
Usually the best options are custom roms with their extra customization options on some, or stock and xposed. You don't see anything on customizing stock rooted other than xposed.
You can ask for other opinions here, or use this section for any future questions or issues,

Good luck!

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I found a ROM that I would like to install, but I don't really know how to get started? And if it makes a difference that I already have xposed on my phone?
Just read the rom flashing instructions usually in post one.... Or first couple. Or else you need to ask in the thread I linked. ?

Ok, thank you alot for your help, I know these are some newbie question. Just one last one, I'm looking for the offical Cyogenmod, I've used the search function, but I only seem to find unofficial ROM versions of it?

You can ask in the unofficial thread. But usually if there is no official version, it's cause CM doesn't officially support the device. But a Dev created one for your device anyway. ?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910T) that I haven't used for some time. I want to install a custom ROM. I have already rooted it and installed a custom recovery. HERE'S the problem. No matter where I look I can not find a list of ROMS for this phone. I thought XDA-developers was the go to place for every custom ROM. I thought there was a way to search for ROMS for my specific device. No matter what, I can not find a place where I can search for "Samsun Galaxy Nore 4 (SM-910T)" and find a list of everything available. Like I said, I am a complete idoit. Please help.
Thankyou,

I haven't installed a custom ROM in about 6 years and I have only done it once. I seem to recall a LONG list of phones that you would search through for your device. THis site must have changed since then because I am not finding what I am looking for.. Isn't there a download page SOMEWHERE?

Well I don't know what you are looking for actually, but the third link in this forum directs you to the most recognized custom rom in the market - LineageOS. Maybe this is something for you to try. Just make sure this is the correct ROM for your device and read the instructions carefully before proceeding.
And yea, the site could have changed since 6 years ago... I'm here only for a 3,5

I thought there was a download page where every device was listed. I don't want to read about ROMS in the forum. I am looking for a list of ROMS for Download. I don't want to search through countless posts about all kinds of stuff. WHERE IS THE DOWNLOAD PAGE? Looks like the hardest thing about installing a custom ROM is actually finding it.

I think you have had some expectations, and XDA doesn't work like that (at least not now). For each device there is a separate forum, and under that forum you can find threads with ROMs, kernels, recoveries and other stuff. In each thread usually you can find download links along with the instructions on how to proceed with installation. So if you are really interested with installing custom ROM, you have to make the effort of searching and reading. There is no easy way, otherwise you can screw your device for good. Please take this into consideration
