Probably a stupid question, but where does the PA ROM come from?
Do they grab the Cyanogen source code and meld it into their own?
Or are they grabbing straight from Google Android source code and making it their own, then borrowing some features from other ROM's (like all ROM devs do)?

We build from aosp. Most features are our own, we try not to borrow things from other ROMs at all.

Hello
I came from black berry so little confused on everything. Can somebody help me understand some of this.

They're branches of ROM development. Different individuals and teams work on their own ROMs and distribute them regularly. They each have their own features, looks and performance tweaks that they think are best.
As a quick start, "AOSP" is the Android Open Source Project. Google maintains the open source Android code, and individuals can pull from it and build their own ROMs off of that. So when someone says their ROM is "AOSP based", they're saying that they pulled the source from Google then modified it.
And like-wise with CM10/AOKP they provide their own source code.
CM10 = Cyanogenmod team. A very popular ROM. They do have their own ROM but also provide their own source code for those wanting to start with an already modified base. As an example CM10 based ROMs usually come with certain additional features like the CM kernel, profiles, etc.
AOKP = Android Open Kang Project. As the name suggests it is also the same idea. A source code provided by a developer of a Popular ROM (AOKP) for other users to use. Also comes with features not included in the base AOSP ROM
If any of that is wrong someone will correct me I'm sure
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.
Its been awhile since ive seen a device without aokp support. Will we have it and doesnt anyone know when
isn't AOKP still based off CM? Usually you start seeing all the original AOSP type ROM's come out after CM has been released.

Actually, they compile from source now! They do, however, use the CM device trees to fix things with their builds for some devices. Just a little fun fact and to answer the e.t.a question, we really don't know! Whenever a maintainer get their hands on one or someone steps up to maintain the device with them.

No.
I figured that much. My thought behind the question was that maybe the kernels for the htc one were like the universal kernels for the S3.

There could be but to the best of my knowledge NEVER flash another carriers kernel..
I'd like to see these universal kernels..
you aren't talking about ROMs that can be flashed on any carrier? that just has all the files for all the carriers, so it chooses your device by the coding in your phone and will select the correct one and flash the kernel for your ROM.
Imoseyon Had kernels that were universal. Im not sure if they had installers that detected which device you had or if the kernels were literally universal.
But how hard would it be to make a kernel from someones sprint source code? Did HTC ever release source code for VZW?

This seems like an appropriate thread to post this:
Do the ROM's and Kernels from the general HTC One thread work for our Verizon version? Some of the threads read they work on all carriers except Sprint...
Anyone know when HTC will release the source code for the verizon or do you know if this version would work? I wouldn't mind putting something together...but I have only had this device a few days and I only starting to get a Sense of what's going on...
One HTC WWE MR 3.4.10 v4.2.2 99.7 MB 2.24.1136.1
I agree. I know that in some way a kernel would be able to be compiled because we have working CM, Vanir roms. Those dont run on sense kernels. So some how some way a kernel can be compiled.

Yes a kernel can and has been compiled using the International source code.
That doesn't mean it is ideal or going to work well on our stock rom or at all.
Once my device arrives on Thursday I plan to look into it.
But I would prefer that Verizon and HTC just get on the ball and drop our source so we can be sure to build proper kernels.
I just read something over at HTC elevate where someone mentioned we can use the Kernel Source code from the International LTE One to build a kernel for VZW.

Correct, that's the one I meant. :good:
I updated my post above accordingly.
That was what was used for our CM10.2 and likely anything else we have that's AOSP based so far.
Would still like for HTC/Vzw to get with it and just release ours as well, as there could be slight variations in a few regards.
I prefer AOSP builds. With that being said id be looking for a kernel for AOSP builds. I just feel more comfortable using a lean kernel, stripped of unnecessary junk and optimized for speed and battery life. I feel custom ones give me that over stock.
What would it take to get this baby some ROMs? I've had success porting ROMs in the past, and I've noticed that there is a few custom ROMs for smartwatches. I just have no idea where we would start. Anybody got any feedback?
I would also like to know but I guess you can make a stock based rom there is a perfect flashable back up here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sma...rom-repacked-stock-rom-swr50-version-t2988087
I mean I don't know anything about roms but couldn't you just unzip this rom above add some custom apps/bootanimations ect... then rezip it?
I mean, you probably could. I'm looking to make something from source I guess. I'll have to poke around later to try and find the lollipop sources for it.

There is no source for Android Wear (with the exception of the stuff they have to release because of GPL)
Then it have to be stocked based
