Hello,
I like to cook a ROM, but I have the knowledge necessary to do so. I'm told to make a ROM I have to have Linux. Do not you know you can do in Windows XP? Since it is the OS I use.
Is there a tutorial that you can leave me? Really appreciate it. If nothing happens in English, or English or Spanish.
Does anyone like me started? Asking and got that and then cook a ROM. I would like to cook a ROM because I have several days behind it.
Greetings!

Its easy to cook a ROM:
1.Download a ROM, any ROM.
2.Then prepare a pan for cooking.
3.Add some oil to the pan(not so much).
4.Put the ROM in the pan and wait three minutes.
5.Flip the ROM and wait other 2 minutes.
6.Serve the ROM with a salad and a dip like a theme.
7.Enjoy!!!!!

Welcome to the forums. It's always great to have someone trying to learn.
SO, to be clear there are two things about making custom rom. EIther you mod or edit somebody's else custom rom by changing themes, adding tweaks and scripts and changing apps. You can do this easily with teh help of android kitchen. Find more about it at http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android Kitchen
And to make a rom with source you need more than just wish. You need to have knowledge of programming as well as you need to be able to use Linux to download (sync the repo) the source and then edit it. A lots of terminal commands to learn and source of 6+ GB to download and then edit the Java, Android xml and C source code to your preference then debug it and test and do many more. While you can also sync repo in windows using git bash Linux is recommended for compatibility and easiness. You can find instructions on syncing a repo and then building the rom at source.android.com
So, you have to decide which one you will take. First one is simple and second one takes a lot of research, knowledge and programming skills.
Good Luck! And have a nice time while at xda. I will be glad to help to the extent I can. You can find me on my site or at my facebook page in signature.

Thank you very much for all your comments.
In particular you yagya.
First of all I have no Linux, so I'm going to easy. I do not want a ROM from zero, apart from that I have the necessary knowledge.
For example, do a ROM-based CyanogenMod 7.2. But adding my stuff. What I need is to know how to add things.
Thank you very much yagya.

You could try WUBI, it'll install Ubuntu Linux on top of Windows without the need to repartition your drive, after installation you just reboot and you get to choose whether to start windows or ubuntu.
If you don't like it you can just uninstall it like you would any application in windows so it's easy enough to remove it if you don't like it.
For changing/adding to a ROM just go to the link yagya provided (http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/search/label/Android Kitchen) all the information you need is right there.

In what way do you want to change it? If it's just icons/colour/transparency then check out http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/ you can do it online there with ready made icons from a variety of themes, it doesn't get much easier than that.
It can do a lot more if you want to fiddle with other settings but it's restricted to the stuff that they provide.

Thank you very much for your help, you are doing very well.
I'll explain more or less what I want, is a ROM IOS iPhone clone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533004
My question is, do I unzip the. Zip and I can grab from there the notification bar?
What I want is to have the iPhone interface, you will ask, Why do not you buy an iPhone? xD For this very expensive and is out of reach. At least by changing my Android interface I can have an illusion, it sounds stupid, but it would be the theme. xD
I ask a lot of patience with me, since I'm a bit slow to grab things, but I'm Spanish.
I hope you help me and you may be sympathetic with me.

First of all , thanx button is there
Btw i understand u cannot buy iphone evn i cannot its expensive for me
the rom link u gave is joyos then why dont u jst download it
or jst by changing notifi bar it cannot look like full iphone interface
U can use iphone launchers lockscreens (milocker etc) iconset
for notification bar u cannot transform it fully
All u neet is framework-res.apk frm joyos rom (system/framework-res.apk) and system ui.apk (system/app/systemui.apk)
Same both frm the rom u r using now
And decompile the both apk's with apk manager (google for downld link) now search for battery icons / signal icons etc in both apks of joyos rom and replace them with the rom apk's ..... remember the pic name shud be same (which would not be as both roms r different) u need to explore sm more by urself like searching for icons in apks in folder (drawable-ldpi)
Now finally after replacing icons compile the both apk with apk manager and use root explorer in ur sgm and replace both apks with original and change permissions and reboot phone
If u do all correctly (though this work is gonna little difficult) u can compile both apks successfully and they will run successfully
U need to explore more like searching for the dragger in status bar its pic in systemui etc
The whole interface would not be like iphone like settings menu will be same it cannot be edited so i recomment use any theme or original joyos rom
Best of luck hope i was clear

yup not to mention hex editing etc...I am working on a theme now and let me tell you after being a 8 year Blackberry user its a whole different thing...dont get me wrong creating and editing svg's and layering theme for blackberry wasnt the easiest thing to learn this is just "different".
So not to be long winded any noobs or anyone for that matter interested in starting a theme there are some fantastic tutorials and loads of helpful fellows over in the heroc forum. Hopefully in the not so distant future we as the Eris community will have our own talented group of themers instead of just porting or simply being able to flash a hero theme. Good Luck and be patient.

So!? Have you thought about cooking up a blackberry-esque or bbstorm-esque theme theme. That, would be such a wonderful idea! :-D (i was a former bb storm user btw)

what are some of the other files to edit png's in other than framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk? the wifi, gps, etc. on and off widget/icon and the dialer keypad in particular. using the leakbase rom jcase posted if it matters. thanks.
iflip : a blackberry theme already exists via marketplace for GDE
magnum : the way i started was via windows. i was grab each apk .. edit the extension to .zip extract it and dive in the MDPI folder ( thats the folder ur gonna want to get into to edit themes.)
if ur using linux just jump in the apk and check out the icon_launcher's. thats gonna be a great starting point..since at least 22 icons need to be changed for a theme LOL
i kno i kno..its a p.i.a. but u asked ...

Thanks, yea i'm on windows, takes a little time going through all the png's lol.
HtcDialer.apk and Phone.apk will contain the png's to change the phone dialer.
I was looking into making a theme or at least just changing some things around in the one ROM I'm running now. The two questions I have is how do I re-zip the ROM and how do I sign it so it will work? I'm running snow leopard on a macbook pro just as an fyi.
Can someone tell me so i can make one
Greatz RDilus
Its not like you open it with some Application and edit everything in it. Nothing like that, to create your own costum ROM, you will have to have decent coding and hacking skills

well there was a app that can extract and rebuild kdz files but dont remember it...
I have teamed up with pashinator to bring you the roms you want.
Looking for ideas of what to put in our next two roms
The first in the series was Custom Clean
They will be called:
Custom Everyday
Custom Performance
We will start with the Custom Everyday.
SO!!! What do you do on a daily basis and what would you like to do on a daily basis with your phone?
Things to include:
Gingerbread themes and keyboard
arc video editor
black status bar
Things to learn:
editing framework-res.apk
general customsiing
making custom bootanimation.zip
We are not going to include app2sd because it is too much messing about and can sometimes be dangerous. Please install it yourself or use Openswift FroYo.
Make it clean i can install my daily basis apps whenever i want Simple.
A working Metamorph device would be enuff for me

As clean as possible and maybe a gingerbread theme?

I agree, clean and basic is good
Working App2sd
add more locale
It would be great if the rom supports more locale. (traditional and simplified chinese)
So for the person that wants a gingerbread theme, I can do that. ATM I am using the gingerbread keyboard.
Not sure about metamorph because I can't get it to work either
I will try the app2sd but currently I have failed twice at setting it up. So it might be a 2.2 rom, as that has it built in.
Anymore suggestions?
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
Gingerbread theme it might be good, 2.2 with camera and blue working, i'm new, i don't knoe if it's simple or difficult but if u want, i will help u, i'm just seeing some xda threads for making rom, but i don't undesrstand a lot.
Also NEW Gmail/Market/Maps/Youtube Apps would be cool ! And Black theme would be preferable something like Galaxy S have. But with eclair Drawer and Gingerbread icons And Built in Root rights and busybox installed. THAT WOULD BE PERFECT ROM !
Apps2sd working would be biggest plus for me
pleas this is vanilla eclair ROM by arekl1988r v.1 and v.2
h*tp://forum.android.com.pl/f200/rom-vanilla-eclair-rom-37914/
built aps2sd on ext2 partiton
this ROM is maximum slim.
Sorry for my english. I write by translator
Fastboot and quick recovery included in the package.....its a pain to install otherwise.
Why don't you write to quarx and ankuch and help them with developing OpenSwift faster
I'd like to have the original Arc Video Editor from the official LG firmware, its pretty awesome!!!
psfreedom support would be legendary.
seeming as though i am helpin out i need to highlight something.
me and flyboyovyick are just adding and removing apps to make a original rom better
until we do some learning.
when we have learnt i would like to put the following:
black status bar
better looking battery bar
and a slick finish
but now i would like to inform flyboyovyick that i have bricked my phone and will just be telling him what i suggest to put in rom

Well, you can install new launchers by searching the market for them and installing them directly. Then you can set the new ones as the default as you see fit.
But I think what you're looking for is something like this website. There, you can just click together simple mods and build a ROM. I'm not sure if this will work for your phone, as I've only tried with a different model but it should jive with several Android models. Check out their XDA link to learn more.

try apk manager to decompile an apk you wish to mod.
navigate to the res/drawable-mdpi and mod the pictures of your wish.
if the file an .9.png so you have to hold the 1 px transparent border. this is very tricky with the *.9.png files.
after you mod at your wish compile your apk back with apk manager and sign it.
have fun

Unpack the update ZIP of the ROM you want to mod to your likings and slap the APK of the launcher you want into /system/app - rename the standard one to <whatever>.apk.backup (just in case the ROM hates your launcher and keeps on force closing upon boot).

Decompile the /system/framework files and have a lot of fun in editing stuff in SMALI - it can be done, but it's definitely easier to edit the source and compile the ROM. Once you did your changes create the JARs and put them back into /system/framework.
ZIP up the ROM, flash it, hope for the best.
If you soft-bricked the phone with your mods make sure you have Flashtool and the Stock ROM FTF standing by.
Given the nature of your question I rather suggest you simply forget about your plan, because it doesn't sound like as if you know about the stuff - you already fail to post a question in the Q&A board.

You can't make a ROM without programming knowledge. You can't even make a simple app without programming knowledge. The least you could do is mod some drawables and stuff.

That's just a compiler with user interface. So what?
In my opinion, real programming is writing code yourself, not a GUI doing it for you without having any idea of what is going on (not talking about the compiler here).

hey sorry guys but i am learning java now....thax
greetings,
newbie just want to learn, i dont know if this is in the right place ...
i am former users of G-FIT CM 7 by tj_style, and now switched to Lenovo S890 which have Mediatek MT6577 chipset. many variants of the chipset, and the source code is not released by vendors, so few developers really developing this phone. and now I missed the CM look and feel.
my question:
1. can stock rom (or lewa os) modified to look like CM?
2. I've tried to use UOT Kitchen to theming SystemUI, but didnt give any different, only change icon.
(I uploaded the framework-res.apk, lenovosystemui.apk, lenovo-res.apk (to replace twframework)
targets / objectives :
1. change the look of the stock-rom / lewa rom (only two of these are available) to look like CM.
2. add reboot, recovery when the power button is pressed (see some tutorials to change framework-res.apk, but stuck in the "where to put this, where to put that, because the tutorial that I found almost entirely specific to a particular device, and I do not understand patterns / rules in android)
3. use some CM applications (calendar, dialer, etc.), for this, if it could be done with just replace /system/framework and /system/app from CM to Stock Rom?
information relating to the above matters are expected (links, info, guide, hopefully someone will give direct way of how to accomplish my objectives above).
thank you,
jacknb1ack

At lot of guides are so unless you can find one specific to your device you need to try and figure it out, but most apks are similar in regards to how you edit them so just decompile a few and examine them and you'll get a general idea. My SystemUI.apk and yours for example will be different, but certain xmls from each are going to be quite similar.

thanks ... 1 more question, if i want to learn by comparing two systemUI.apk from different rom, is it okay to install both framework-res.apk in apktools ?
ex : i want to try comparing Lewa systemUI and stock SystemUI, i need to install framework-res.apk first to decompile systemui.apk (am i right in this or it is actually not needed ? )
thanks,
jacknb1ack
You can, but it will overwrite the first one, install you're own first and just use that, if you have an issue trying to decompile another from another Phone then you know you need to install the resources. This is why I love Virtuous Ten, as you can install multiple resources.
