Is there any topic about making your own rom i am a noobie at this but i would like a try

If someone could answer this pls be my quest of course i know the 2nd basic things of windows but linux just zero class :)
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
There's a few ways. If you're interested in making your own ROM from a stock ROM, I would read this thread on dsixda's kitchen:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246

If you want to modify someone elses ROM, then have a look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198035

If you want to build a ROM from AOSP sources, then that's a bit more involved and unfortunately is not as easy as linking to a thread.

I ALWAYS get "MD5 mismatch" when I try and do a restore?

This is so messed up! I did the nanroid backup right after I rooted and installed CWM. Also, have done a couple other backups too..

Then after flashing a couple ROMs, I tried a restore. I got the error then! Lucky I have TiBackup and havent really needed to restore a crippled flash(not sure that restore would help in that circumstance tho, but that's not the point!) so doing the restore hasn't been critical to me.

I posted about this in the "General" forum before and the Mods just deleted my post, I guess it was in the wrong place? hopefully this one is in the correct forum, you'd think it would have been moved?

I have followed every instruction to the letter, it's kind of hard to do it wrong with QBking77's wonderful videos, so I'm sure I've done it correctly? Does anyone have a suggestion as to why I'm getting this error?

The reason I was trying to perform the restore this time was trying to do the advanced restore>data function that was described in the "Best ROM Challenge" post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22570714&postcount=1 ...Is there something in my settup that I have wrong, why would I ALWAYS be getting this eror, it doesn't make any sence?

Thanks for any help?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Could be a different version of cwm .... You may have noticed when flashing roms that some devs use different cwm versions like acs , rouge etc ....... Did you rename them ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
No, I didn't rename them.

The Idea of them different CWM had occured to me and yes I think there were diff versions...That matters?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
It may some roms won't flash on certain versions....that's what I would try first flash a kernel with that cwm you made backups with

...if you ever rename them no spaces in the name ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yahknow1:
Well, I just shot that theory down. I've re burnt the exact ROM that I mad the Nandroid from and then did a Advanced restore>Restore data.

[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
I was testing various combinations of BBs and RILs because I get terrible battery on GB (stock or CM7, even with Froyo BBs): 3G on drains 3-5%/h in stand by mode. On Froyo I got 1%/h with 3G on. (BTW, what's your 3G drainage on GB with typical apps/features like Facebook and sync installed?)

Then I noticed that when I installed an incompatible RIL and the network went off, the battery reading were incorrect at 100%, event after 30min of usage. After I installed a compatible RIL, I was asked again for the PIN and the battery readings were returned to normal.

My question is: why can't the phone read the battery status with an incompatible RIL? I thought RIL manages radio only. Is this a hint that my device is faulty?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JohnCohorn:
Hi, getting my Note tomorrow if all goes well. Coming from an iPhone 4 so haven't worked with Android or a 4G phone before.

Anyone know if it will be possible to switch between LTE and HSPA manually? Or if there is a way to at least elect to use 3G/EDGE? Very battery conscious, and in some areas 2G seems to have better reliability for voice.

If it's not possible normally, perhaps it is via some of the popular alternative ROMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Punchatron:
Good question, I would like to know as well. I watched a ton of reviews and the one guy from Phonedog said he used his on 3g for a whole day and and he was only down to 85% battery or something crazy like that so I'm hoping with LTE on it will take us through a whole day on one charge. I also bought extra 2600 capacity batteries with chargers off Amazon to quick swap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hausman:
I've read more than once that there is no way to turn LTE off on the AT&T version. The Canadian version, yes, apparently (I think). I'm just hoping the battery is big enough that it won't be a major issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] teiglin:
For reference, HSPA+ doesn't take any more battery than 3G; they're basically the same thing. Most phones have a GSM-only option under network mode (to force EDGE use on data); hopefully the Note will be the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
The ATT version does not have this option based on the engadget review in which they tried to do this to check battery life. At least not on this stock firmware.

If you are not in an LTE area, you will get better battery life than if you are in an LTE area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JohnCohorn:
Sigh, so the outlook is not good. Crossing fingers for help with this in an unofficial firmware...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
if your devs can set you up like our skyrocket devs have they can pull the necessary files from the Canadian version so that it can be accomplished on att.

As for battery life on lte, i got to play with the att version again today. He was at 58%, been off the charger for 4 hours. Screen on was just over 2 hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] prayii:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj-OpHQ0dHo

This guy talks about using the international version on 3G and the AT&T edition on LTE all day as he has LTE in his area. He says the battery does take a hit, but its not that big of a deal and the phone still is the 2nd best android device in terms of battery behind the Razr MAXX and will easily last a full day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yuongn:
Rogers Note...

I find the battery life acceptable under normal use with a mix of wifi/lte. Last me a full day 8hrs+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kikex76:
From using my rooted SGS2, custom roms offers what is called true connection. The network icon switches from 3g to hspa+ only when using data. Stock Rom display the same H+ at all times. I'm pretty sure it works the same way on the note.
[Desire General] kassarin:
Hi there, thanks a lot for paying attention to this thread ;)

I have just recently pushed in a partition table 'Bravo CM7 r2' using fastboot and adb.

What i have done so far:

I wiped the cache and wiped data/factory reset after the partition table was done. Then i restored the backup i did before i updated the partition tables.

However, after booting up normally with no problems, the second i unlocked my device, things started to force close (keyboard, android.process and other things)

Desperate, i went back to recovery and i reflashed my ROM (cm7.1), then i wiped the cache and wiped data/factory reset and the same thing happened, i unlocked my device and everything just starts to force close again (refer to previous paragraph for force closed items)

I have no idea how to get this working, it appears it is not as easy as the tutorial says. :(

I need your assistance, thanks a lot guys!

Can't no one help me? Or am i required to start a new thread?
[Desire General] erklat:
As far as I can tell, you're doing it wrong. Wipes are to be done before, not after the flash.

fastboot flash hboot cm7r2.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot erase cache

Boot to recovery now.

mounts&storage

format system, data, sd-ext and cache (optional as you already wiped it but do so for the piece mind) and do so manually! Not just full wipe.

Now flash your new rom. In case you flashed something else, only one thing is supposed to be flashed per session unless said otherwise in the installation instructions!

If crashes continue, download the rom again.
[Desire General] kassarin:
Hi, thanks for the reply! Am i supposed to restore my backup after im done flashing my ROM?

UPDATE: I did a restore and the situation looks a lot brighter, less force crashes. The only thing that FCs now is thememanager. Is there anything else i can do? Or should i raise a white flag and restart from scratch?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Why would you flash a new ROM if you can restore your nandroid backup of the previous rom?

But make sure your the /system-partition of the ROM you backed up is smaller than the one of your new hboot.
[Desire General] kassarin:
Hi, let me get a clearer picture of what im supposed to do

1) Push in the img for the partition using fastboot

2) Wipe system, cache, data, sd-ext

3) Restore backup (no need to flash new ROM here?)

In case this helps, i flashed ceberus and gapps for my backup. Would that affect the system partition?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
First step: Make nandroid backup!!!

No, there isn't any need to flash rom.

Yes, it will effect it.
[Desire General] kassarin:
Haha! Nandroid Backup has already been made. But it is useless now because i flashed in ceberus isn't it? So the only thing i can do now is to make a backup of all my apps through Titanium backup and start anew?

Also, if i wanted ceberus to be inside, i would have to make a custom partition right?
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Excuse me, but what is ceberus??
[Desire General] TVTV:
As MatDrOiD said earlier, make sure the ROM you're restoring is made for the CM7R2 partition table. The stock partition table has a 250 MB /system partition while CM7R2 has an 145 MB one. If you're trying to fit your 250 MB /system ROM into an 145 MB /system... there's your problem. So, what ROM were you using before flashing CM7R2?
[Networking] IrideAgro:
Would love to have feedback from other similar Sprint users.

1. Outside of large markets and other select markets, Sprint's data signals are much weaker than Verizon. My data signal gets killed if I go in to a restaurant or store yet switching to a different 3G network (presumably Verizon) I am able to access a usable signal. This occurs in decent sized cities where Sprint's coverage is supposed to be excellent and there are towers nearby.

I wonder if this is a cost measure or technology limitation. I presume it is cost.

2. Further, the threshold for switching on both the Pre and my Evo for a usable data signal is useless. My device will show a faint 3G signal yet no data access and nearly never attempts to switch networks. Again, I presume this is intentional and a reflection of a low-cost carrier.

edit:/ I found this article from Android Police, as it mostly pertains to bandwidth. I am sure that given bandwidth issues, Ev-DO Rev A and the combined with a low signal (indoors), a superior 3G network will deliver. And a Sprint Community discussion regarding Ev-DO Rev B not being deployed, even though Evo 4G/Shift iPhones and other newer handsets are Rev B ready /edit

This is something I am fairly confident about, it is based on anecdotal evidence of being a Sprint user for 7 years, having a new tower erected behind my house and failing, comparing indoor data speed/signal strength between Sprint & data roaming partner, using a rooted phone since 2008 (Palm Pre).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Some applications (widgets mainly) don't have an icon in the app drawer. Some apps allow you to hide the icon but warn you won't even be able to launch it from the market. These always have a secondary means of opening the different parts of the app (like through widgets or shortcuts).

I'm not a developer so I can't help you there, but maybe contact some widget developers and look for guidance from them. They should be able to tell you how to achieve this if you can't find guidance elsewhere.

Greetings! Big time android n00b here but am an electronics technologist so I'm pretty savvy. So bare with me...

On Virgin, Canada

Just got my first GS2... YAY!

so far it's amazing

there is, however, one problem. Wifi sharing and wifi sharing manager drain the heck out of my battery. When i turn wifi on, the two applications turn on. When I turn wifi off, the two applications stay on and drain my battery an insane amount. I have to manually force close the two apps in order for them to stay closed. If i turn wifi on again, they start up again... I've read up on this quite a lot and was wondering if anybody has found a solid solution to this problem. So far, I've found that people seem to have had success with flashing a leaked version of 2.3.6...

Also, will Samsung ever "officially" release 2.3.6. Kies just tells me I have 2.3.5 and that it is the latest version. But surely this isn't the case. Damn Kies...

On my friends GS2, same model except he flashed XWKL1 onto it, works well. wifi sharing/manager turn on when wifi is turned on. Respectively, turn off when wifi is turned off...

help?

Thanks to the reply on launchers earlier........ ...............

One more question Please. After installing the launcher it will ask me to make it default, do I have to make it default and if I do how do I go back to htc sence:):)
[General Questions and Answers] x942:
Yes, you should make it default or it will just ask you every time you hit the home button ;)

I assume you are on GingerBread so what you do is go to settings, applications, tap on you launcher (i.e. ADW) and find the "clear defaults" button. After doing that the next time you hit the home button you will be asked to choose what one you want to use again.

Hope it helps :D

*** REQUIRES ROOT PERMISSIONS ***

*** NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANDROID 4.2 ***

BlueCtrl is an open source Bluetooth input device emulator that can control remote devices. This means that you can use the touchscreen and keyboard of your Android device to control other devices which support Bluetooth.

Because this app is using the Bluetooth input standard, it supports various operating systems without any special server software. It has been successfully tested with the following systems:

Android

iOS

Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu...)

Mac OS X

PlayStation 3

Windows

Please note that if you want to use this app with Microsoft Windows, you probably need to disable a conflicting Android service. For more information look at:

https://github.com/RonsDev/BlueCtrl/wiki/Bluetooth-input-service-conflict

This app requires root permissions because it needs direct access to the Bluetooth adapter. Another restriction is that it is only compatible with a specific Bluetooth stack that is called BlueZ, which is used on many but not all devices with a Android version smaller 4.2.

What's new

New system specific touchpad gestures

The gestures are now optimized for the chosen remote device system. Linux and Windows systems also got a new setting for the gesture mode. So, for example, if you are using Windows 8 you can configure the appropriate gesture mode to enable the special Windows 8 edge gestures.

New interactive touchpad tutorial

The interactive tutorial will explain all gestures for the current system and can be activated via the menu.

New menu item for composing text

This is especially helpful if you want to write a longer text because you can keep your eyes on the device and see what you write and it also allows you to correct the text before it is send.

Voice input can be corrected before sending

Voice input will be displayed in a edit box before it is send so that you are able to correct misinterpreted words.

New "Stay awake" setting

This setting prevents that the device is going into standby and disconnects the connection. To save some energy the screen will however be dimmed after 30 seconds of inactivity.

New "Scroll sensitivity" setting

You can long press the keyboard button to change the input method
