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

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
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.
Hi guys, need your help. I am coming over from the iPhone. Just ordered a used S3 for my first Android phone and very excited.
It should arrive this week and I would like to have it rooted. I would like to also install the latest stable Cyanogenmod release for this phone. Is it 10.2?
I have never rooted a phone or loaded any roms. I am having trouble finding the CM rom that's the latest most stable one. I just see a bunch of different names and have no clue which one I need. Can you guys recommend something?
Can someone point me in the right direction? I would like something quick, good battery life, and good for a daily driver. I saw a youtube video that showed Cyanogenmod as most closest to stock and very stable.
I would really appreciate your help. thanks in advance

That's a one-stop shop for S3, rooting and flashing custom recovery. Check that thread and follow the instructions there. You need to root your phone first and then flash a custom recovery like TWRP, before you can flash Custom ROM's like CM 10.2
Yes CM 10.2 is the latest version of CM with Android 4.3. CM 11 with 4.4 Kitkat is also in for S3, but dont expect it to be stable.
Also, release that there are lots of ROM's based on CM source, so they should work fine too. There are other very good custom ROM's like Carbon, Paranoid Android etc which offer unique features, while there are hybrid ROM's that combine features from all these. You need to try different ones to see what works best for you.
Also, refer to this video and others from that channel.

I suggest you take time to read, then take time to try all the roms here, as they are all good.
As we do not encourage arguments over which rom is best or is "most stable" I am going to close this thread, please take time to read what is being offered in the development areas, and welcome to android phones.
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!
*Ahem*
Hello everyone. I'm rather new to the android hacking scene and I've got a few questions for those who might be bothered to answer. First off, the BLU advance 4.0 doesn't seem compatible with anything. From custom bootloaders to custom roms.
I've found next to no information regarding compatible interfaces with this phone. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a bastion of roms and applications that I've simply been unable to find?
I would really love to load custom roms onto this phone, I've got it rooted and everything is set and ready to go. I just can't seem to find any compatible roms :/
I appreciate all help, thank you guys so much in advance.
Currently Running:
Android 4.2.2

Your device is unsupported mate!
Hopefully you can find someone to help you with cooking a rom for your needs!
This forum section is dedicated to the Paranoid Android team and ROM. Your device is not supported by this rom or team, so you would be better off finding a generic devices section here on XDA to make your request.
