I am sharing these guides because it has been a long time since stable jellybean/kitkat Roms have been released for our device.These guides will basically help you port Roms and also help in all other stuff(theming etc.).And XDA is all about sharing,right?
All credit goes to the members who have spent their valuable time writing these guides.
So here we go-

Hi,
I'm new to smartphones and i spent a lot of time reading this cool site about tweaking our phones to higher level. What I'm missing on this site is some newbie manual on wiki with list of tools and procedures how to on each type of phone: backup ROM, restore the ROM from bootloader and all the other stuff for modifying ROMs etc.
Is anybody here, who has such knowledge, experience to create these manuals? I found several of them in threads. But why not to keep them organized in wiki?
thanks for your help,
Jenda

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.

The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

Hi all Desirian Guru,
I am not sure this is the right place to bring this stupid question, but if you, the operator, found it is wrong, please move to where it should be. I would like to create or develop, if I can, my own custom ROM for fun and share. Could anyone here kindly point me what steps I should take, what the prerequisites I should have.
Appreciate you guys so much if those tools are supported on my Ubuntu.
and on windows too!
Same sort of thread made before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817699
Might help
Start here, if you are intending to build from the AOSP source:
http://source.android.com/porting/index.html
http://source.android.com/source/git-repo.html
Get the source code from here:
http://android.git.kernel.org/
There is an unofficial "vendor" from devoferreria for the htc bravo board here:
https://github.com/defer/android_device_htc_bravo
The cyanogenmod wiki has a load of excellent info on it, including compiling your kernel:

If you are looking to mod a SenseUI rom there are guides around here that explain how to change the framework. That is a different art ... use a wider forum search and you should find them.
TheGost1233, stOkes,
thanks for your advise.
You guys rock.
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to cook my own rom, i'm in the learning phase and doing self test now...
After readings lot of guides and posts around here on XDA, i can't find specific guide to implement Advanced Power Menu on our phone. I found many guides for other devices but it seems to have differences between the based Rom used.
I found thread for S2 9100 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183803 with lot of flashable zip already done. Anyone have those kind of files for the T989D or simply guide me through the steps for building it in my Rom...
I want to port a ROM to my old phone (s3ve3g) for fun. I haven't done anything regarding ROM Coding, but I was searching for a while on the Internet and couldn't find any good guides.
So how do I get started? Idk if that's important, but I know Java & C++...
