Hey,
I have always been using custom roms and wanted to know how it all was made and implemented.
Can anyone lead me to a tut or programs which help beginners in building roms?
I would really like to start building roms to gain knowledge of winmo.
thanks
Try some kitchen on ROM section

hi guys can somebody explain to me the process of porting roms, is it something that can be done in dxisda kitchen? or is it a linux only job?
I know some porting can be done in the dsixda kitchen, but the level of things like coolexe may well involve quite a lot more. I do see people talking about having to modify libs, so this could be / would be done when the rom is unpacked via dsi.
It has its own porting tools which using a base rom (similar rom that works for your device) you copy the kernel and other bits into the rom you are porting. I expect there is a lot of tweaking that needs to be done too though.
This is from my limited knowledge of porting though as I haven't actually done it.
cheers dan just wondered what it was really dnt think its something me and my noobiness will be trying soon!!
Hey, I know there are already a fair number of threads out there on this, but they all seem to be for "n00bs" or beginners, which I am not. I would like to write a custom ROM, including comiling the kernel and all that other jazz. I get the basics of *modifying* a ROM, but what if I want to significantly change something? And I have yet to find a tutorial on how you can compile the Android kernel for the Captivate Glide. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I'm thinking about trying to just compiling vanilla ICS (pun intended ) so that I can get the hang of the process. Then I can do my own stuff and not be constantly worrying about bricking my phone.
So I know this is not an easy task, and it's not meant for everyone, but I want to build a custom ROM, starting with pure AOSP then ending up with AOSPA. I have a slight idea of where to start, but if anyone has a guide they can point me to for pure beginners, that would be extremely helpful.
Thanks!
Hello people,
I want to be useful for the community and for myself by learning new stuff and trying to do new stuff. So i want to know how i can develop a rom based on Kitkat ( or anything for a beginner ). I saw some threads like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195858- which tells us how to customize a rom( a base rom). I want to learn how to build a good rom based on KitKat. I am a total beginner and do i need have some knowledge about java programming to build a rom. And do i need to have a linux os to make my new rom or can i use windows ? Please if there is someone who can help me with this please reply ! :good:

If you want to work on kitkat for the inc, the Evervolv ROM is the place to start:

yep, right now kitkat is not ideal to work on tho ... I can get cm11 to boot but fc for days
I want to start to build ROMs my self. Just like from a base ROM. Where should I start? Is there some stuff I can read or watch to get me started. Any help would be much appreciated.
This is what started me down the path http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2662325
This guide is great because it's device specific and offered by the world's most popular ROM
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_e980
This would be great to familiarize yourself with the building environment. Keep in mind PA and some other ROMs love to do it their own way and are more complicated. But most ROMs are similar to CyanogenMod in my experience.
Cheers
