Unzip them and study them, i.e. files,apps and catalogs.

A quick question : what do you want for your ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyc19:
i was going to start making my own rom then i asked myself that question...couldnt answer it with something not already on the current roms -_-
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
the thing you gotta ask yourself like the others are saying is what do you want your rom to have. you want a theme feel to it or do you wanna keep it looking stock. also gotta figure if you wanna add some tweaks or not. there's a lot you gotta figure out before you make a rom. also, you gotta know a lot about what does what when tweaking and all that. i was also thinking about doing some roms myself, but then decided against cause i for one don't have the time nor do i have the patience the devs here have. you also gotta remember that there are gonna be people here who want you to change some things about your rom. and not to mention, you gotta have the time to offer support for it as well. if you do decide to go for it, i wish you the best of luck and look forward to seeing your work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
well i do want to learn how to tweak the phone and themes and all that good stuff, i recently messaged raver and he gave me a good start, so i will start studying linux and java then ill be back hopefully with enough info to tweak some newer OS leak :) or if anything help out on another phone ( hopefully it wont be that long) but like i said i want to learn for self knowledge and also to help create some awesome stuff in the XDA :)

and i do have the time to support and modify roms as needed.

so if anyone has any advice on the best way to learn linux and java faster post post post!!! lol

and ill come back and read between my readings thanks for not being jerks by the way lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
Also i might base my rom on Android 2.1 :) J/K haha but im off to a good start tonight :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GFX.myst.:
if you wanna base a rom on froyo, by all means go for it. you would be surprised how many people still run on froyo here. some are afraid to take the plunge to gingerbread cause its not official yet for our device. go with what you feel is best. personally, i think there should be a dev who still makes roms for froyo for those who don't wanna take the plunge. its all up to you though. good luck with your journey either way though. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
your right im on raver's octaine and its cool but a couple days ago i flashed back to Audiophile Redux 1.3.3 and i saw a big difference in radio and wifi strength so i might actually start off with a Froyo rom, but i was just making a joke earlier cus i said 2.1 like an eclair rom lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
sence so many are intrested in this actually didnt think that many would.. after i update my roms maybe before then i dono... Ill make you all a compendium of how to build apps how to modify exzisting roms how to build your own rom aka asop how to port roms theme them etc... Ill also prob ask krylon and whitehawk and any other dev that wants to contribute to this. If anyone does. It doesnt hurt and hey if a few ore devs come out of it so be it :P.. If anyone ever has a question 99 percent of the time u can ask people i will reply and give u the answer or if i dont know the answer ill direct you to the proper place to look for it :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
haha aawesome!!! see this is exactly why i only flash Raver roms!!! wooo i went from octaine 1.0 to audiophile redux to octaine 2.x to audiophile x2 back to octaine 2.x haha

If Raver leaves my phones post- SGS4G will all remain stock :( lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jgalaxys:
im also looking into modding nd tweaking roms myself so a guide like the one raver is gonna make would be very helpful. thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
As the OP can i erase some comments on this post? lol just asking...again!

also one more question im back to Audiophile Redux 1.3.3 would the SGS4G Adrenaline shot v12 work with my Froyo rom?
[HD2 General] streakau:
So, I just got a stock hd2 with winmo 6.5 and would like to install wp7 can somebody please explain how I can do this.

Android is better, but it's your mind.

FAQ in RUS, nothing terrible, juct read: http://w7phone.ru/ustanovka-windows-phone-mango-na-htc-hd2-47917/
[HD2 General] poisas:
First of all for new users, as i was a new user, i recommend read carefully about flashing your hd2, find all info here in xda, because you can really can mess up your phone. There is things that you can do, and you cannot. So be patient, and study how to flash everything, ant then start to do :)

like they say measure 9times before you cut...
[HD2 General] kompheak:
To much trouble with win7... flash android the get a win7 launcher
[HD2 General] anseio:
WP7 is a lot of work in to install and you can have several issues related to battery life, SD card compatibility, and how even a compatible SD card can effect battery life. That said, I prefer WP7 to Android for aesthetic reasons.

The ROM is use is here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236027

If you go this route, I recommend the 7004-7720 one-shot upgrade. The whole guide is in the second post, and there are other, more better explanations, to help the tutorial make sense. I had to use the those ones first.

When you succeed in installing WP7, you can also dual boot Android from SD. That comes with its own set of issues, as Android runs best from NAND.

So... which would you like to try first? So long as you flash HSPL correctly, and the correct radio, it's actually really hard to brick your device.
[HD2 General] poisas:
I must agree with everybody, beleave us... android vs windows is 3times more speed with any aplication, browsing, photos, music everything works more than 3xtimes faster... go with gingerbread android... trust me you will be suprised how fast it its...
[HD2 General] anseio:
I'm not sure that's a fully accurate statement, or there wouldn't be a bunch of us using WP7 on the HD2. It's just a bit more complicated to get going and can have major issues related to SD cards. Mine is quite fast. I very much prefer the UI to Android, but there are things I prefer Android over WP7 for.

Regardless, it's hard to brick the HD2, provided HSPL and correct radio are flashed. There's no reason to not try either and see which meets the OP's personal preference.
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Only take 4 simple steps to load android
[HD2 General] anseio:
That's not the point! Ugh!!!
[HD2 General] kompheak:
Lol... hows that not the point?
[HD2 General] anseio:
He's asking about WP7 and all you guys are doing is saying that Android is better/easier to install. That's not the point and doesn't answer the question. If you can't give feedback about the WP7 installation process, then why are you even posting here?

We all know that Android is "better", more versatile, easier to run. That's not even up for debate. So, why are you trying to convince him not to do something he wants to do. The HD2 is one of the most hackable phones around and it's hard to brick. Why not try WP7, Android, or both? Geesh!
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
What have you guys found to be your favorite app for overclocking? I'm trying to figure out which the best one is, but not sure where to begin. SetCPU? System Tuner? Daemon? Juice Defender? What have been your experiences, and what are you using now?

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I think you will find that every ROM/KERNEL Developer has their own favorite.

I'm not sure that any single one is better than the next.

Try each one for yourself,and see how it works for you.

:)
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Thanks. I realize some ROM/kernel combinations are more synergistic than others. Currently on Pyramid 3D running Bricked 0.91, using System Tuner as recommended by Show. Not sure if the other ones support dual core.

So far I've tried OC Daemon, SetCPU, Juice Defender, and System Tuner. They all work well, but I'm not sure which one has the best performance to battery ratio. I'm pretty new to this overclocking thing, so trying to establish a baseline to which I can make comparison to, using XDA as a resource. Otherwise I'd be spending a week with each app. Granted, this would probably yield better results since I'd be more aware of the pros and cons of each relative to my personal requirements, but I was hoping I could just skip the learning curve if I could, naw meen.

Hi,

Yes, I know what you mean. :D

In my experience,using MY phone the way I like to use it,is not the same as anyone else.

So, although I can get snippets of information from others, I will only truly find it out by myself.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] K4P1:
This is just a tip or advise for people whose phone isn't working well.

(This is just my opinion - no hard evidence is shown)

I mean like FC's, titanium backup doesn't work well etc.

Some history...

I have flashed several different ROM's via CWM and some ROM's didn't work as well as others.

For some reason every ROM apparently leaves something to phone that won't be removed even after factory reset and that causes some problems in some ROM's.

Then I got an idea when I wanted to flash one of JVT ROM.

First I flashed stock JVT ROM (with re-partition)

with Odin

and rebooted (and wait for phone to start normally).

Then after shutting down (rebooting to Download mode), I flashed Semaphore (JVT) kernel

with Odin

(it can be any JVT kernel with CWM).

So now I have a phone with custom kernel but stock ROM.

Rebooting to Recovery and clean caches (delete dalvik cache and format /cache).

Now I was ready to flash desired ROM (

in CWM

- not Odin).

And now I have fully working phone.

ps. It really helps to read carefully instructions how to install that specific ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jamirobe:
Unnecessary but meaned good :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] s3icc0:
I always do flashing this way ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] myrddral:
This is part of the general way of flashing a rom, i think everyone should know this by now who read the general info about flashing.
[HTC Sensation] justice26:
Ok, i was doing my daily battery drain on my sensation. The phone shut off and i plugged the wall charger to the phone. I waited a while and i turned on my phone and ill i get is a white screen. Really brite, nothing else? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Assuming it now has some juice in the battery, press vol+, vol- and power together to reboot it.
[HTC Sensation] justice26:
The battery is fully charged. Same thing it boots to a white screen.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Can you get into recovery? Power phone off, then power on with vol+ and power together. You might have to re-flash your ROM. I'm no expert but I think re-flashing the same ROM might fix your problem without losing data.
[HTC Sensation] justice26:
I did that and the problem is still there. The screen is now flickering and i can barely see the home screen. I think its more hardware than anything else.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Flickering screen does sound like hardware :(
[HTC Sensation] naimmkassim:
Try charge for 2 hour and then try ON again. If still not succeed, please give more info ex. did you do anything or install anything, during phone shutdown when battery drain?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Heyo fellas

Long story short:

I'm looking to flash the latest CM7 nightly (10/30?) and I'm on Aura 1.2.2.1 right now.

Basically, because I fastboot nuke the hell out of my phone before any and all ROM flashes, I always end up flashing Romracer's recovery from fastboot (because I'm ROMless ha), and then flashing the rom.zip from there.

All in all the process is actually remarkly fast and efficient.

BUT:

As I understand it, CM7 is only advised to be flashed with CWM (downloaded thru rom manager).

With that said, is there an official thread for ROM Manager/CWM that has downloadable & flashable recovery images?

I need the images because, like I said, I fastboot erase EVERYTHING on my phone, including whatever recovery I had, then I just flash a recovery and install my new ROM.

Disclaimer: I have INDEED searched all the Android forums (multiple times) for an official thread, and came back fruitless.

If nothing else, would it be possible to 1) flash the latest CWM in my current Aura, then 2) adb pull or copy the recovery 3) do all the wiping through fastboot 4) push the recovery back? Where would it store the recovery image/file?

Thanks for any links or advice guys, I really appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
why do you feel it necessary to fastboot wipe EVERYTHING?

whatever your OCD reason, what you are requesting is the .img file that you could have gotten directly from /sdcard/clockworkmod/ folder if you installed it from ROM manager, or you could have gone to his website

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

stop fastboot wiping everything every time. its not necessary.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
thanks for the direction bro. So sorry it never occurred to me to straight up google an official website. Thank you though.

And my b bro- about wiping everything: I've just had to deal with one to many a problem in the past where ROMs aren't consistent about how much you should wipe, and then I flash and get FC hells + all sorts of other issues. I just consider it safe practice now to "Tabula Rasa" that bad boy up and go from there.

Thanks again though bro I appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
Wipeing recovery when it's not needed. You do know solid state drives have only so many times they can write? While this number is large it is not indefinite. Recovery definatly does not need to be wiped every time you flash a new ROM as the ROM should not change anything in recovery nor rely on recovery after it is installed.

Honestly constantly flashing things can be bad not just do to the limited writes but more so you could induce an bad block easier by writing then just reading

Just my 2 cents though, it's your phone.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Bros bros kindly hop off my meat here.

Now, you've enlightened me a great deal as to the fragility of this technology I hold in my hands, but I assure you a number of things:

1) This Atrix was not a family heirloom. It can be replaced, and I've got backups lying around everywhere (og Moto Razr V3 & Moto Backflip w/ CM7 to name a few)

2) I wipe completely because I make each flash count- as such, you can probably count on just your two handsies the number of times I've flashed new ROMs. Like seriously bros, I've flashed much less than you. I'm not a binge-flasher.

3) Dude, this is Motorola's phone. If it was mine, I'd be rolling in the dough and girlies and a BMW to compensate for my e-peen.

I appreciate the information fellas, I really do. And I actually appreciate the risk assessment you've offered as well.

But mom, all I wanted was a pepsi. Just one Pepsi.

Thank you so much for the sentiment my dear bro. Means buckets to me that I can brighten somebody's day, especially somebody of your great renown (that person being you, actually).

If you're ever in NYC you let me know and we'll, I don't know, hit up a chill bar or just hang and play video games or something.

And don't you fret bro, I'm totally down with Tom Cruise sharing our presence.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvgc3:
Also, for what it's worth, and I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, CM7 can be flashed from Romracer's recovery just fine.

Right on bro looks like I'm batting a thousand with my 'learn a new thing everyday' jar.

I actually was not aware of this and, while I'm pleased to say I've been running CM7 for a bit now, this is very useful information.

And for that I do thank you bro.
[General Questions and Answers] RySean:
Hey guy, sorry for the post in the general forum, but I don't have enough posts to post in the Droid 3 section of the website. I've been following the threads in there for a couple months now, and I've rooted my Droid 3 and flashed quite a few different ROMs on there, but I was looking into creating my own, or at least starting with someone else's as a base.

I made sure to do a pretty thorough Google search before posting here, but most of the ROM creation guides I've found are pretty device specific. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to write a guide for creating/modding a ROM for the Droid 3, or at least give me some pointers on how to get started :-)

(BTW, I'm a programmer with a bit of experience, but no Android dev experience whatsoever, just giving a point of reference).

Thanks!

Sorry, just noticed the thing about questions going into the Q&A section. This is more of a request than a question, but if a mod feels like it should be moved than feel free to do so.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gett:
Not sure if this is an appropriate forum to post… but here goes.

I am looking to buy Nook Color primarily to read pdfs. I would say part of my work requires spending a lot of time reading (and put comments in) pdfs.

My concern is how is the pdf reading experience on NC with 7" display. I'm especially looking to hear from anyone who uses NC to read pdfs.

Are all kinds of pdfs with different settings comfortabley viewable (that is, you don’t have to constantly zoom in and zoom out a page on a pdf book).

Thanks a lot in advance for your valuable insight.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
I've read a few PDFs on my nook and it's mostly good. The thing is, it depends very much on the formatting of the individual PDFs themselves. Since they're fairly static, the ones I've used don't reflow well (ie. you lose formatting or images) if you try to use that option. If they are mostly text, then it shouldn't be as much of a problem. The ones I have read most are formatted in a 4x3 aspect ration, so on the Nook's 16x9 screen, they are very small with a border on the top and bottom in portrait mode (unless you zoom and scroll), but in landscape mode they are very readable aside from some extra scrolling required. All in all, it's really not bad. By the way, I mainly use the ezPDF reader app instead of Acrobat.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
I've been using ezpdreader. It works for me, since I'm a grad student I read a lot of pdfs just like you. With this app you can do all sorts of annotations (comments, highlights, etc). It takes a little time loading big pdfs, for now it is the best app I have found for my needs.

It works better if you have your pdfs ocred. I use Acrobat Pro to ocr files before uploading to NC. Once it's ocred you can use the autozoom (full screen view) by double tapping the screen and you can read on landscape or portrait.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCKevo:
Yeah, same here, grad student reading papers as pdfs with ezPDF reader. I've found it works great for new pdf's, where you can auto-zoom to fit columns and figures and use text reflow. For older pdfs (eg. scanned images) it's not that good. But I've not tried to run optical character recognition (ocr) on them either, I'll have to try try that. The best benefit though, is the fact that it keeps a full file cabinet of papers so I can always jump back to my 'favorites' or primary references, and if I'm at a conference I can find and add new ones.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Yeah I have lots of scanned pdfs and I used, as I said before, Acrobat Pro in my PC to recognize text. As we all know ocr isn't perfect but at least it will let you highlight the words in the pdf (even when it didn't correctly identified the right word). So you might not be able to copy paste a sentence correctly, but you will be able to make annotations on the pdf.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
I haven't tried ezPDF so I can't comment but I do strongly recommend you to try out the Mantano PDF Reader.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popsnorkle:
I mostly use ezPDF too. I've looked at Mantano because people seem so enthusiastic about it, but it doesn't do the fit to the screen or column that ezPDF does.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
You meant it auto zoom to fit the page on screen?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skwalas:
Mantano allows fit to screen and several varieties of zoom, and can zoom on a column with the appropriate gesture. A number of solid ezpdf users have switched to mantano recently. However, if you want to do a lot of different types of annotations, repligo is still the way to go.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
I had repligo before ezpdf but it wouldn't let me highlight ocr pdfs. So I switch and ezpdf hasn't failed me yet, it also has all type of annotations even free hand
