[Rom Format] Devs please read - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Below is a format that is a guideline to be used as an example of how a rom thread should look. It doesn't have to be exact. I suggest that you stay creative and use all the features in the advanced panel when creating a thread.
Name of rom, team, etc
Introduction
Changelog in code or list tags
What's included in the rom in the (apps, tweaks, scripts, addons, mods) in code or list tags
What works/what doesn't work in code or php tags
Credits (Users name-with link to (profile/github/or thread u got tweak from embedded), and what they did to help you)
Screenshots (2-10 different screenshots of different aspects of rom)
Kernel with either link to thread you got it from or github (if stock sense or cm please state that and that is enough)
Instructions on how to install the rom (also if special instruction for a2sd or beats audio...etc)
Do's and Don'ts of the rom
Questions & Answers section (I find this helpful to write out asked questions with solutions at the bottom of the op. I find that it cuts down on the question being asked a million times)
Finally the dl link
Additional add-ons (this can go into first post or reserved posts after)
I find the embedded link looks and feels better throughout the op if possible.
All sections should have a header with enlarged text and spaced out so people can read it easily.
I am hoping that this helps to make this section a little cleaner and easier. enjoy
The way I look at this is that it takes you weeks/days/hours to make these roms....we can take the time out to make sure that the op looks professional and clean
Not to toot my own horn but here is a link to one of my own rom threads as an example. Link
Also Make sure the op is fully ready before posting. I know we all get excited to release a rom but stating that half the stuff will be updated as time permits just shows that you are lazy and in a hurry which doesn't look good cause if thats the case then how does your rom run....
No posting a a rom thread without a DL link either. If posted then the thread will be removed
This has been created to let those who do not know what is allowed in development.
Things you CAN create a new thread for in Development
1. Roms (You created it or Ported it with permission)
2. Kernels (You compiled it and is GPL compliant)
3. System Dumps (Only one thread per new system dump) (First one wins the rest will be deleted)
4. S-Off Tool Kits (You created it)
5. Scripts (You created it)
6. If YOU created it you may post it
CREDITS
Credits must be given in your threads for whatever help you have received when creating something. If you port something then give credits and links to the where you ported it from. This goes for mods that you port as well. Permission must be given if you port a rom from another section. This is to prevent the originator from getting upset and there being a flame war between developers. We are all here for fun and as a hobby so lets all be friendly and do the right thing.
Things you may NOT create a new thread in Development for
1. Questions
2. Question
3. Roms YOU DID NOT create or port
4. Kernel YOU DID NOT create
5. S-Off Tool Kit YOU DID NOT create
6. Scripts YOU DID NOT create
7. Themes
8. Apps
9. IF YOU DID NOT CREATE IT OR PORT IT THEN DO NOT MAKE A THREAD FOR IT
Threads that are created that fall into the DO NOT CREATE list will be either deleted or moved. If you continually create new threads in the Development section that fall into the DO NOT CREATE you will start receiving Infractions or a Ban
[SIZE="5"[COLOR="Blue"]]PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL[/COLOR][/SIZE] and know where the sections are.
GENERAL - is for general chat about your note II
QUESTION & ANSWERS - This is for getting Questions and Answers
DEVELOPMENT - For something you CREATED
THEMES & APPS - For themes and apps that you have created, found or ported

combining two apk's

Hi All,
iam trying to combine two apk's in one... can anyone suggest a simple approach to this.
My use case is
i write scripts using python for android.
i can package those scripts in apk. however apk if installed on a phone which doesn't have python interpreter ask's user's to download interpretor.
what i want is one monolithic apk which contains python interpretor plus my script.
Note : looked through SL4A forum completely and was not able to find any satisfactory answer.
so is this possible or not?
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums & Read the Forum Rules
Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
This blog post seems to detail the process of packaging a python script along with the interpreter: http://jokar-johnk.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/how-to-make-android-app-with-sl4a.html
EDIT: At least, I think it does. I haven't fully read it, more skimmed it.

How to create Custom ROM for ATRIX

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I found a few sites, but none of them worked for me. That's why I was curious if someone had put one together as a 1-2-3-4 type style.
EDIT ---
I see that sites some saying to use a GUI while others are saying to do it completely command line in Linux...my Linux skills are 0 - none, so I would prefer a GUI. Is one way better than the other?

[Important] - Development Thread Titles!

Hello all,
Firstly I would like to introduce myself, I am the newly appointed Forum Moderator for this forum and hope together we can keep this place clean and a great place to develop!
The first thing I have noticed is thread titles are pretty inconsistent, many lack key information a use might need to know and this makes it not very easy to scan through the forum and find what your looking for.
Hence I would like to introduce Development thread title structures
The layout is simple enough, and I ask ALL developers to move to this new structure as soon as possible to help keep the forum tidy.
The structure is as follows:
[TYPE][ANDROID VERSION][NAME][OTHER INFO][DATE]
[TYPE] - Here you would enter if you thread is a ROM, or Kernel or Mod etc.
[ANDROID VERSION] - Version of android you thread is based on or for (If a ROM this could also include the base ROM used i.e CM10)
[NAME] - The name of your ROM/mod
[OTHER INFO] - Anything else you feel users want to know before entering your thread
[DATE] - The date or the last update/release/change of your thread
An example of this format would be:
[ROM][4.2.2 CM10][Zac's home grown ROM of coolness][Now with extra cool!][22/03/13]
If developers could please change their current threads as soon as possible, and all threads made after this post should conform to this layout!
Thank you
