I want to develop my own ROM for ZTE Skate, I just want to know what Programme I use to make one for the ZTE Skate.

[Guest KMT2K]

Can anybody tell me, what program do I use for ROM Creation? I have Ubuntu downloaded, I just can't get thre program to load it on to. Help?

If you need to ask that much then it's really not something you should be playing with as far as i can tell. What do you mean by "make"? Compile android from AOSP? It's not a simple process although anyone can download a pre-compiled rom and just unzip it and edit certain parts. But that's not making a rom...

Yeah. I'm new to this all. You know the LiguxOS from Tilal? I wanted to change the stock messaging app. Because when I press the settings button it force closes.

Sorry, I was all confused about development and stuff.

Open but don't extract the zip file then I think its system\app and there should be a messaging.apk ...replace it with yours

Stock app is usually called mms.apk. Don't worry we were all new once. It's all about reading reading reading. I'm a geek for it

There is a tool called CRC studio for Windows(hope your dual booting) which is a pretty simple drag and drop tool, and will zip the update.zip for you.

If your trying to build from sources you'll have some problems, as lunch/make doesn't like compiling for armv6/armv5 for me, no idea why. i tried making ICS. AND FAILED. D;

I was thinking about the same sort of thing the other day modifying a custom rom for my own preferences would be cool. ( to me anyway) even though its not coding, I would get a idea of the structure and layout of a rom. I have no idea of the files in a rom or how it all fits together. So for a non-coder. I think it would be a great challenge and a good experience. Maybe just change one or two things to start off?

So what's the odex? :)

And changing that, does that mean I can change my Launcher for it as well?

Odex is the data stored by apps in the dalvik-cache

And yes you can change your launcher as well
