Firmware Android via computer, flash drive, memory card

Firmware Android In this article we will take a closer look at the question of how to make the firmware on Android. Many users of the operating system at least once thought about flashing due to the cluttering of the system with various files and applications that begin to greatly slow down the operation of the device. In such a situation, there are two ways to solve it – reset all settings to factory settings or install a new firmware.

Creation methods

Few people know, but in the second case, you can choose not only what the official developers offer, but also create your own slightly improved version of the platform. Let's consider the main ways of editing firmware:

  1. Find one of the tweakers on GooglePlay. Such applications allow you to change various parameters: the amount of RAM used, the system cache, and many others. You can use them without even having special knowledge of the system.

  2. Special editor for Android firmware. One of the best is on the link.

    It is an online platform on which you can perform various manipulations with the appearance of the system. You can change the displayed battery icon, the appearance of the icons, the boot screen, the boot animation, and many other settings. After the necessary settings have been set, you need to select the 'File Upload' menu item.

    There is no need to change anything, but you need to go to the next menu – 'Summary', where, after checking the correctness of the entered settings, click on 'Submit work to kitchen'. At the last stage, you need to go to the page, wait for the file to be generated and download it. Next, it remains only to unpack the firmware Android: this can be done through the 'Rom manager' program in the 'Install Rom from SD card' menu. It will also be useful to create a backup copy of the system in the same 'Rom manager' in the 'Backups' item.

  3. The most difficult way is to build Android firmware from source. We will consider it in more detail.

Building the shell from source

Here it is worth saying that this is a very long and laborious business, without primary knowledge about the functioning of Android, its kernel and the basics of programming, it is better not to even try to perform such procedures.

Let's list the main points that you will have to face when trying to change something in the platform:

  1. The shell is adapted for each specific device, and this is important to consider.
  2. It is better to do all manipulations using Linux (for example, Ubuntu).
  3. The computer on which all this will take place must be equipped with at least a dual-core processor.
  4. Usually, it is rarely possible to assemble the firmware on the first attempt, for some it takes months of work.
  5. There is no universal way to build firmware.

However, as mentioned above, it is worth thinking a few times before embarking on such operations: it may be worth limiting yourself to only a small improvement or loading another alternative shell. Not everyone will be able to master the creation of custom firmware Android, because this is a rather laborious industry that requires special knowledge.
