You cannot sign a ROM correctly, as you are not Samsung and do not have their official signing keys. We use a custom recovery to circumvent key checking, so ROMs do not need to be signed.

Typically Modems for different phones don't work, as they are designed per phone. You could try out different modems, but you would have to be proficient with Odin, as flashing the wrong modem will soft brick you.

Thanks sduvick for the reply and just to clarify it wont completely brick the phone its just a soft brick and i reflash with odin if it loops ? and thanks again

yes, the only thing that can completely brick a phone are the bootloaders, boot and sbl. you can reflash with odin yes.

This is how i made Revolution HD

You need :
Sidekick 4G
Stock ROM


How to make a ROM :
* Get the modem and kernel (zImage) you want to use
* Open the kernel with winrar & extract kernel_flasher .
* Get the APK file's you want on your ROM .
* Open the Stock Deodexed ROM
* Open /UPDATES
* Input your desired modem & kernel inside /UPDATES & Input them .
* Open /META-INF /COM /GOOGLE /ANDROID
* Open updater-script in Notepad ++
* Rename to whatever you want .
* Open /SYSTEM /APP & input the application's you want on the ROM
* You can delete alot of bloat which is application's you don't need
* Open /SYSTEM /XBIN & place SU in there for SuperUser permision's to root your ROM
* Open build.prop in /SYSTEM with Notepad & ro.build.display.id = the name of your ROM
* ro.build.version.release= is the firmware version number you can change .
* Go to uot.dakra.lt & upload your framework-res.apk there & wait for them to cook your desired theme .
* Go to /MEDIA to change sound's , audio , video & boot animation .
* Go to /SYSTEM /ETC & make a folder called init.d & place all your desired script's in there , IE Zipalign , SDCARD tweak's , RAM tweak's & RAM script's .
* Go to /SYSTEM /BIN & rename recovery to recovery.bak & input a modded recovery in there , IE : Krylon360's recovery
* Flash your ROM & feel the difference from stock

you can't edit it with regular notepad / wordpad
you have to download this : here and then you won't get installation aborted error upon flashing .

i used notepad ++,it still aborts upon installation.by renaming you mean to rename the file or the contents?im sorry,there just wasnt a wholelot of detals on how to do this precisely.i unzipped,edited accordingly and rezipped.sig verification off blah blah,still aborts.also tries uzipping the original stock deodex and it still didnt work.i used a stock KD1 As A Base,Or Do I have To use The One You Posted??

im not completely new to developing but i just want to clarify these things i hope its not an issue.

    I have the same doubt

    most of this will work fine with other phones as android is structured almost the same way across the all devices. find the phone you wanna work on. get a base rom to build off of. and start crackin. er umm "cookin" :)

    I'm not sure for all other device's but i know it work's with all Samsung Device's but it should , all phone's are the same build .
    Yea I want to know for sure before I start bricking phones left and right haha but I think it would work as well.
