I'd like to learn to compile a kitkat rom but I didn't find any guides or tips (i have no previous knowledge on how to build a rom) so I wonder if there's any guide for that.
Thanks
If you're trying to build CM from official source, CM's wiki has quite the resource for that, teaches you step by step from setting up your Linux environment to making the final bacon. I haven't built other ROMs yet, but steps should be similar.

Actually I plan on building something closer to stock android with very few custom features but I don't know how to do that yet. I'll try to build CM to get the gist of it,

im bored today on my day off and looking for decent instructions on how to compile a rom using unbuntu. i saw one in a wiki for the shadow but i need to know how its done for the vision
Check the CM wiki- you might have to alter a different build for the vision, i.e., change passion/dream to vision.

ok thanks a lot! i guess i could of found that right search terms, i tried a number and couldnt get any wikis up ahh well, thanks for your help
There are probably Gingerbread branches in the tree, which might not be completely stable. You could build the Froyo branch if you want something that will be stable.
Hi guys and girls,
I want to experiment with building ROMs just for educational means. BUT, I have no experience in developing whatsoever . For instance I want to build a rom from Lord Clockan's source but where do I start? Can someone help setting things up from scratch/point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!
The only ROMs built from source are CM and AOKP, everything else is just modified stock (which you can't build).
With that in mind, read this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus_(GSM):_Compile_CyanogenMod_9_(Linux)
Wrong phone, but it's step by step.

So how could I use their work for building a ROM?
Well if it's a CM based ROM, you would need to get the CM source, then use local_manifest to bring in others repos when you sync.
Hello I have found tutorials for building CNA from source but it is for other device's and since this will be my first source build I don't know what I'm supposed to change
Can someone post instructions or tell me what I have to change to build CNA from source, I will happily do it and I do have Linux and Dev expierince so I will be releasing the build to the public.
Theres a thanks for everyone who reply's plus i will give you equal credit as me if I get the rom to work and release it.
Thank you,
Matyhew

What exactly is CNA ? If you are trying to build a pure android source I would look at the source code alquezs cyanogenmod port as that is the basic open source that came with the phones level of android (2.3 gingerbread) but as far as source and building is concerned I would look at your tut and when it gives you any reference to the original target device, swap it out for marvel. These things tend to be renamable to pretty much anything. If you link to the tut I can have a look over it for you and see if I can help

Codename android is a rom like AOKP or Cyanogenmod, it's a Jelly Bean only rom though I belive,
here is a thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900448
and the GitHub
https://github.com/CNA
this is the tutorial I mentioned
http://www.crackflasher.com/threads/33-Guide-How-to-build-Android-roms-from-source-for-XT912-CM10-AOKP-AOSP-CNA
I know it's pretty vague but thats the best I can find
thanks again

Well, that does look like a cyanogenmod aokp aosp fusion with some new stuff.
As far as the guide is concerned just swap out the names of the downloaded files with the ones you are using, like pull the repo from your required github and not the one in the guide. Most of the commands for compiling will be the same as the compiler is for jellybean. As far as editing this github source code to make it run on the marvel I'm not so sure. You can look at the current cm10 roms here for some insight on how they made them work but this is where I get lost buddy

Nothing is prime time ready (imo), but your best best is to work with Evervol (and look in the thread over in Development). Takes less tweaking to build, since they still support the inc. CM takes a bit of tweaking since they dropped support, and I haven't had the time to update my instructions on how to build it.

Ok Thanks Bro
I am very interested in getting CM11 or Mahdi onto the Verizon version of the G Pad. I have no experience compiling code for Android and haven't compiled a Linux kernel in ages. Can someone point me to any how-tos on compiling ROMS? What needs to happen to make a ROM work on the VK810?
idk
I don't know but I would love one. I like the tablet, but I can't stand the skin.
Here is a very good tutorial > http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Development
once I (or someone else) brings up the cm11 devicetree for the vk810, then you can usually take the devicetree+kernel+proprietary libs, and build for any ROM that has open sources...
