[Xperia Arc General] rebelos:
Project Developer IV

Welcome

This is a guide for all those who want to build for their Xperia 2011 Devices but do not neccesasarily have the knowledge or experience.

This is an unofficial guide for the building of custom ROMs and other mods for the Xperia 2011 Devices. This is a work in progress, with additions being made as often as possible. This thread has already grown with the help of the devs established in this forum. BMP777 began this project a year ago when I was using a Samsung GS II Skyrocket. BMP777 started another alike thread called PR II in the LGOG forum a while back as well. I have since moved on to a ONE, but both threads remain to this day. The point is this: everyone who uses this site has a desire for modding, customizing, and/or otherwise altering their device. Unfortunately, many have no idea how to go about doing these things for themselves. As such, there is a lot of dissatisfaction among developers about receiving constant demands, suggestions, and requests for updates. This thread is meant to give those who want to step up and build for themselves the means to do so. It is an ever-changing thread, with all assistance welcomed.

READ ME:

On one hand, it should go without saying that if you have no knowledge and/or experience with building, java, C++, and various other tools, you probably shouldn't begin here. At the same time, it is possible to learn to build, provided you can read, follow directions, and aren't too lazy to RESEARCH.

OH YEAH, and you better have patience. This isn't easy. It will be work. The quickest way to get flamed is to show yourself to be lazy. If you think that with a couple clicks, you can have your own flashy ROM, forget it. But, if you do want to learn, this is a good place to get started. I have no ego about this; I started the same way and just want to help everyone learn to build their own ROM. But, everyone will struggle to get to a successful point, and lazy, unmotivated people just irritate those who have had to learn from scratch too. Tutorials will be posted for any new thing learned and built as time and space allow. ALL ARE WELCOME AND ALL QUESTIONS ARE TOO. But, seriously, if it's a really ridiculous one, I/we reserve the right to screw with you about it.

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Thread Disclaimer:

The instructions and extras posted here are to be used at your own risk. I am working hard to provide good, workable tutorials that will make successful building much easier. Nevertheless, I am not responsible if you lose your files, brick your device, or inadvertently cause a nuclear war. If you are seeking absolute perfection, RUN NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!
