[Q] Noob questions..

Hi iam new to all this, and i try to read so mmany things that i can, but not all is easy to find.

1: When you port a rom from 1 phone 2 another, how do they do it, why is there so many problems with diff aps? If i see CM they seem to get things to work on diff models at the same time, why is that?

2: What does 9 png mean i know that png is a picture extension.

3: Why is it from what i read a pain in the *** to remake aps to another phone

4: I use the new rom with sence 2.1, i really love it, but i would like to remove the names on my aps/shortcuts (forgot the real word for it) like you can in adw launcher, is this possible and how.

Thx in advance, for this site and hopefully answers

As far as I know the hardest thing to do in order to make a custom ROM work is to make all the drivers working. They are usually developed by the hardware manufacturer and are available only as binaries so it is not so simple to make all the system work perfectly.

I know this explanation may not be complete, but I hope I have clarified the basis at least.

The problems with remaking apps is they are usually for a phone with a higher resolution,so things dont fit properly

Ha ha... you can go read what ogo2 have been doing with the salsa rom on dev side to see what happening. I've been following that thread for quite some time.

Give his rom a test drive. Best way to know this issue is to experience it.

About rename or no name on app, I think it's a launchers function. I just learn that you can rename or leave the short cut blank in "go launcher ex"
