Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post, seemed like the most sensible spot. I used to be involved in OS development back when 2.2 was brand new and shiny. I forget most of what I did, then.
I am looking for someone who would be making a Galaxy Nexus ROM (_obviously_). I know I have to be running a Linux distro (Will be using Ubuntu) and know how to install/configure/use Ubuntu/terminal. I'm also very technologically inclined, and learn very quickly. I am also willing to simply study before and after files, note the effects, and learn that way.
There's not a whole lot I won't do, and there's a whole lot I can be/am good for. I also have many contacts from the old Liquid E days that would be able to help with any potential issues that arise as well.
Thank you in advance,
Matthew/Harness.

I think a lot of people don't realize they can take any ROM they want and mod it to their hearts content for their personal use. It is a nice courtesy when they ask before posting it. Respect for sure.
I'd suggest PMing whatever dev/s that makes the base for what you are going to develop. Then anything you pick and choose from other peoples roms I'd suggest PMing them for permission also.

You are for sure right about that. There are some devs here that do request that you ask permissions first and give credit for their base. I'm just not one of them. I love to share. I think thats what its all about in the end.

Well I've been on xda since I had my first winmo phone which was the tilt.. there is alot of immaturity on these forums and I for one do not want to be the cause of any unneeded drama..
Whichever rom I decide to use I will ask and give credit @ stang u are a beast man I only hope to be as good a dev as you. Thanks for the support hopefully if I can find some f$%kin time I'll release something..

Okay I've been a little nervous to ask this in spite of the answers I may get, but I'm going to ask anyway. What exactly would I need to know to make my own ROM, tweaks, themes, hacks, and what not? I've taken 2 C++ courses although that was high school and 1 java course. I'm really interested in this, and if anyone who knows what there doing would take me under there wing to teach me. I thank anyone for any answer in advance.

Well if you want to get started I would say the easiest way would be to get an aio like mine here (There are others as well). Get your PC setup so you can decompile and compile apks and jars. Once you have that setup, I would start by looking around in the folders that it decompiles. This will help you learn where things are and how the apks work.
If you want to do theming you would need to know xml, how to edit images, and knowing java is always a plus.
Once you know where things are and feel comfortable editing apks, Then I would start learning the other stuff. ROM making, mod making, and tweaking will all get easier if you understand how the phone works.
Hope that helps get you started. Let me know if I can help you out with anything.
Shoot me questions if they pop up, can't always get back right away but I'll always try to help. Its been said before and sounds cliche, but read up. And I mean ALL over the net. The amount you learn troubleshooting your own problems as they arise(error messages etc) are invaluable and unfortunately can't be taught.
But for the other stuff, hit most of us up and you'll find help. Think I can speak for he majority of us on that one.

This is what I love about the xda community.... everyone so helpful I wish to build my own ROM someday too! I wanna take an android programming class but current college I'm attending doesn't offer it and I tried learning on my own but never could get android SDK or eclipse to install my old laptop.... gots me a way better Asus now and I always help with anything I know but that's simple stuff like making bootanimations, where stuff goes in the ROMs ( but I don't know how to make my own), I'm always experimenting with my build.prop and other tweaks til I soft brick and have to dirty flash my phone, I flash to different carriers, different prls, etc.... just simple stuff I'll gladly help. If asked I'll be a tester.... but I can't quit build my own rom

Google search will always be there for you when most needed
Ya googling only can take you so far. Not the same as an actual Mentor. If that were the case we wouldnt even have schools anymore we would just tell our kids. "Hey google it!" And educational systems would be pointless....
Thanks for all the advice! I really appreciate it, so when I do have questions I can't find the answers to I am happy to have people I can go to. Although I have to put off until I get my own laptop around Christmas... soo you won't be getting anything from me for a while lol

Hey guys, it's almost done I'd say I'm about 90% of the way there, just need to add AROMA and make sure everything else is good to go. It's really fast, and will be really stable.
I'm just looking for a few people that can put it through its places, make sure everything is working. I do not want people that just want to flash another ROM, I need some people that will actually test EVERYTHING on the phone to make sure that it works.
If you are interested, please post and I will PM a few of you a link to the build. I'm heading to bed right now, so you will get a link sometime tomorrow. Why don't I open this up for everyone? Well, it's still a beta and it isn't ready for everyone yet. I mean, realistically, it probably is, but I like to have it in a more controlled environment with only a few good people testing it so I can easily get a hold of them and work with them 1 on 1.
Thanks

yup. seen it. But I want to do it alone. Just need a kick start.
any guidance is appreciated.
There are plenty of guides you can read. Kernel development isn't easy. It's not something you're gonna start having never done it before and just build yourself a kernel. The first smartphone kernel I ever built took me 6 months to get fully working and it was for a palm pre and I had experience building desktop kernels for various linux distros.
I like to break stuff!
The first kernels I did were based off of a guide from joeykrim and help from vampirefo. They are a PIA until you get used to it. Good luck with your endevors. Here is a decent guide to start with, change the device though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516051

There isnt any kickstart for making kernel for a phone if you havent built a kernel before. I would suggest looking at the community dev thread again, as most of the build process has already been gone over. Do you have a Linux distro running yet?

Why when it is open source if you read the news article all that's needed is a git cherry pick and build. Then its done.

Things are rarely that simple, not because cherry picks don't work, but because some people are in different circumstances than your own. My current phone is a HTC One running a stock kernel, and without more sources custom kernels and ROMs are something of a tricky business right now. I prefer stock when possible, so an Xposed-style framework patch is a good way of "cherry picking" what I would like in a workable manner.
Great that you're sharing the news, but you posted in every thread already and now opened a thread in dev section =/

My two cents...I know goast from the forums, and he is an advanced user and a great resource to me. He's obviously pumped up about halo, and rightly so (it's a pretty amazing innovation by PA team). I'm not attacking anyone, but I like to stay informed about new things, so I appreciated his blast out. Many devs here work demanding jobs, and donate their personal time to development, so this info may help them in this fragmented crazy fast paced world. I just wanted to thank goast for the info, and impart some positive energy here. I'm not a dev, nor am I an expert, but I share goast's passion for android and desire to learn more about it. To me, that's why I love xda...I have a commercially dead device that is still extremely viable thanks to all of the great work here. Ok, I'm done...everybody enjoy halo!
