Hello guys, I want to learn to port android roms. I read quite a lot about it on android.google. I understood quite a lot but not at all enough for porting a new rom. I did not understand how to make drivers for Xperia M(not available on their developer website either). And I did not read further as It went all over my head after that . I want to learn how to build a new rom from scratch. I do not want to use cynogen mod builds, Android Kitchen or pre-built roms. I want to make my own rom the google way(using stock resources provided by google). I need a person as a Mentor for it and loads of resources that will help me achieve it. I am a beginner level C/C++ and Java developer. I realize I do not have enough knowledge for it but that is why I need your help. Lead me to where I can gain this knowledge. Any one who would like to take this novice as his/her disciple will have my gratitude for life time.

Develop their own Rom. who can helb me
I was looking for a rest for my forum, but could not find until now
You could try dsixda's Android Kitchen there is a easy way to build stock based ROM like removing stuff adding them etc. I used to build sometimes it's really easy. But not for someone who wants to build ROM from scratch like AOSP. They have to setup Kitchen manually there are lot of tutorials out there just search.

Hello! I want to get involved with android development.I an not completely noob. Are there any guides or tutorials and books? For example lets say that i want to port an app in my device or edit an aplication,are there any tutorials to learn? What do you reccomend me?
All opinions are accepted!
Ok, I've gotten quite a few PMs about where and how to get started working with Android. I wrote up this guide to help people with porting AOSP ROMs. Be aware, there is no sure fire way to port and you probably will run into bugs and problems. I won't be able to help fix your problems just by someone saying "this or that doesn't work" or "I'm getting a bootloop". Please refrain from posting things like that in this thread. If you have a problem with something please post a link to the thread of the ROM you are trying to port and the base ROM and any other useful information and a logcat. I can give you ideas, however I am not going to do anything for you... it is a lot of trial and error and it's not for everybody. Search, search, search, there is a WEALTH of information on this site, use it... Search before you post, more than likely somebody is having or has had the same problem. That being said here is the guide for anyone interested, there are other guides out there but I wrote this one from my experience.

Hello all
I am a complete noob on porting roms, I am just using them
So, I need help on my first attempt on porting a rom to my device
I just need links for studying or (even better) someone to teach me through the basics
Thanks, just for reading this :laugh:
I would start here:

Plenty of materials to start with....
Can anyone please provide a proper, elaborate guide for compiling roms for miatoll tree? Have time in lockdown and eager to learn the process.
The guides on google are way too generic or backdated. I guess it'll help many people like me if some DEVS took the time to write a guide which shall in turn, in my opinion promote more development.
This video can help you, checkout this one and Part-2 also. The person compiled ROM for Mido (I guess). But you don't have to do much changes and many things will be same as mido.

i would like that too if some pro dev did a small basic guide as most of the guides are old now i know the basics of compiling and some other stuffs but that's the end of it nothing more.
