Great Guide !!!

I was thinking to gain some knowledge and develop a ROM my own,

Finally got to know where to start!. Really Useful one for beginners and all.

Well. I installed the kitchen successfully. Got working folder for STOCK ROM GingerBread 2.3.5

I wanted to change the Boot Animation. But can't find any files or folders in /system/media folder. (except 'audio' folder) also tried with a CUSTOM ROM.

CAN ANYONE SUGGEST WHAT COULD BE THE REASON...?

and also How to:

1. Add Screenshot (By pressing 'Power'+'Home' option)

2. Add Torch in the 'Quick Settings'

3. Remove Recent apps on 'Notification Area'.

any idea would be grateful....

Hi, nice tutorial, thank U very much.

Bte, i need help, i want to nake a rom, i got stuck trying to get my own base from my firmware, which is the way to get that base, can i use a Ruu and how can I get the rom base from ruu if it s possible?

Thanks in advance.

Rom will be for htc one x tegra
[Android] CdTDroiD:
If your on windows 7

1. Run the ruu until it gets to the screen with the image of the phone.

2. Press the windows start menu and type %temp% and press enter.

3. The folder that pops up type ROM in the search field and drag ROM.zip onto your desktop, close the ruu.exe

4. Open the zip file and take boot.IMG and system.IMG and chuck it in the original update folder in the ROM kitchen

You can only build using Linux. So you can run a VM and try that or dual boot or switch to Linux.
[Android] hammoliam:
Thanks so much. Is there a recommended distro to use? I currently have the latest Ubuntu 12.04 and the one previous to it which I could dual boot with if Ubuntu is appropriate.

Thanks Again :)

Hey, try this:

Download a stock rom for HTC One V from here(i guess this is the one) : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1591059

and then extract all the files and find your way to the updater-script file..and then just use that code..and make some modifications if needed..;)

Another way is to use the kitchen to do it..The kitchen has an option to repair errors in the script..

Best of Luck! :good:

[HTC Sensation] Lionhardt:
For some reason the sensation isn't recognizing my microSD card anymore. I've been playing around with different roms a lot today and made a backup of insertcoin 2.55-1 and then installed ARHD 3.60, then virtuous, then ARHD 3.60. I tried to restore the backup I made of insertcoin but recovery says the MD5 isn't matched and aborts it.

Now in android revolution hd 3.60 it won't recognize the sd and when I try and remount it it does nothing other than say preparing...

Any ideas??
[HTC Sensation] lianw:
Does it work in another device?
[HTC Sensation] supercobaltss:
Do you have another SD card to try? Do you happen to have a SD Card reader for PC? Another phone?
[HTC Sensation] Lionhardt:
Alright I took a crappy 256mb card out of an old phone and put that in. The sensation recognized it and everything was fine. It seems like the 8gb sd card is the problem, but the thing is, I was able to install the ARHD zip file from it while in recovery. Besides that nothing else works. If it can do that, I assume its still fine. I'm gonna order an sd card converter to hook it up to my pc, but besides that anybody have any experience with this? Was it all the rom flashing or...?

EDIT: I used my old phone and a usb cord to try and read the card. I can read it and I am taking the data off of it right now. I'm just wondering why the sensation won't recognize it?
[HTC Sensation] Divine flaw:
sounds like something is wrong with the sd card. if the other phone recognizes it than i would transfer all your stuff from the sd card into your computer and reformat the sd card...... hopfully that works
[HTC Sensation] ben_pyett:
Simply put card into PC or in a card reader and format it.

You could probably do it in the camera you have if you didn't gave card reader

[General Questions and Answers] brainard52:
I was snooping around in the settings, and I noticed this. What is the vertical scroll effect for? I've been wanting a grid of desktop screens for a while now, and I was wondering of this was part of it.
[General Questions and Answers] TheBlackCat13:
It is for the app draw (the application launcher). In GoLauncher you can set the app drawer to either have a single continuous vertical page, or multiple horizontal pages. Each option has its own set of animations associated with it. The settings you see there are for choosing the animation. When you have a horizontal app drawer, you can set the horizontal settings. When you have a vertical app drawer, you can set the vertical settings.

You can get a grid of home screens. There are various ways to do it. For me it is set that when I swipe down or hit the home button when I am on the main home screen it shows the grid, but there are various options you can set. For instance you can set it so that hitting the home button immediately takes you to the grid, or you can assign it to another swipe gesture. You can set these in "operation settings" in the GoLauncher setting interface. It is called "Preview".

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
The triangle means you have flashed a custom rom,kernel or whatever. This wasn't on the sgs. It is new to the sgs2. Only way to get rid of it is to be stock, which you can't yet, or use a usb jig. Not aware of any other options at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I got a jig on the way... So..i just plug it in? Surely there is a bit more to it than that?

Just plug it in with the phone off and turn the phone on. It will put you in download mode and erase the counter. Remove it and reboot and no more triangle.

In my opinion, don't install it. I did, wish I hadn't. It literally offers nothing new to what froyo offered. I get FC on framework and weather doesn't update properly. Plus I like the T9 keyboard but the words it auto corrects to on 2.3 are ridiculous. So bad I can't use that anymore.

Seriously, root and flash something else. Theres a few ROMS out there with sense 3.0 and above now.

Branding means, your network provider "marks" the phone as one from it, e.g. by installing its own software.

If you bought your phone from a global store like amazon, it's not branded. If you bought your phone from your / a network provider, it's probably branded.

TO Sprint! While I liked my G2X and LOVED all teh support it was getting from all of the developers, the service in my area was just unbearable. Since I moved here 4 years ago I was not able to even stream a song or pandora on the crap EDGE network.

I got the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch and I am loving it so far. I got a hell of a deal and couldnt pass it up. I know Verizon is a better network to be on but it was $30 more and it wasnt truly unlimited like Sprint is.

I got my G2X through Best Buy Mobile and signed up for the buy back program.. well today I went to go see how much that buy back is worth and they gave me $450 for my G2X! It was too good to pass up. So with that $450 I paid the $200 for the new sprint phone, and another $200 for terminating T-mobile contract and walked out of the store with a $50 best buy gift card. It blew my mind, I got paid to switch to a better network and better phone.

Just wanted to shout out to all the devs and support and thanks for all the frustrating times with the old beast.
