Haven't tried it, but all tutorials on the internet about compiling android are for linux. Probably because android is a linux based operation system. I don't think it's possible to compile on windows
Install linux or use the live CD...
well I guess I'll have to install Ubuntu then
Thanks... and any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

Sorry, it's not quite as simple as that. First set up your Linux install, and all necessary tools (check the Android developers site), and then come back and ask where to begin!
any chance by making an htc sense ui custom rom for it?
Custom ROM
Can I also get the custom ROM for SG 551?

If you want to take someone's complete and working kernel source and compile, the learning curve is not too high. If you want to take some source and mod it like the site that you linked, you are just going to have to take the time to learn a lot of stuff. I started my quest for Android and kernel knowledge about a year ago, and I'm not sure that I could work that out right now.
The first thing that you need to do is install Linux in a VM or dual-boot it. I love Windows. I use it everyday. But you are going to need linux for this. Sorry. I recommend Ubuntu or Debian. It will make other things easier for you too, like compiling AOSP and/or CM source, if you choose to do that at some point.
finaly some help!!
tks i realized iv have to use linux
but anyway il also be using someone elses custom kernel!
tks fr the help!

1) You'll need an arm toolchain. I just sync CM source and use the one there but that's me.
2) the commands that I usually use are:
"export PATH=$PATH: path_to_toolchain"
"make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- -j4"
3) This page is actually where I started from many months ago - http://blog.coralic.nl/2009/10/25/how-to-compile-the-htc-hero-kernel/
4) If you look at the code in Android Builder (link in sig), you can get the idea too. I based that part of AB off of #3 above.
5) EasyDev (in sig too) also grabs kernel source and compiles it.

btw i have linux on my virtualbox....im still new to it...
anyone?? pls!!
I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself

iso format for android...? I don't believe there are any iso formats for android phones or tablets. Maybe a version of x86 for the PC or something perhaps. Anyway, don't think there are any options for KK for it, as without source, it would be a HUGE undertaking, even for a skilled developer, to be able to get all the drivers and stuff updated without the source code from the manufacturers. I suggest to read through this thread for info on available versions of CyanogenMod that are compatible as well as tools and files to install a custom recovery or to return to stock if needed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016643
hey! thanks for the reply but i already did that thing above. Anyway, I just figured out that i really can't do the thing. thanks
Hello everybody. i serached the net a bit and found this guide on how to port CM11 to our devices
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro
my phone is still on service (two weeks now )
but i thought before i get it back if someone wanted to try to make it happen.
i wouldnt say im that much of a developer so i think theres people out there that can make this happen faster than me.
anyway i thought to start this thread so people can try it out and talk about what we have to do and help people out with the progression.
Help appreciate

I have set up a ubuntu box and got the cm sources.
I followed the instructions to build the device files from boot.img
Tweaked the BoardConfig.mk and can build recoverys from source now using the stock kernel.
Only problem with this is the 'dtb' part of the recovery.img.
I use Android Image Kitchen to copy the original recovery dtb to the ones i have build.
[Q]Can anyone tell me how to build dtb in the recovery at build time?
I have downloaded the android and kernel source from LG for D620.
Source from LG
[Q] Can anyone tell me how to merge them with the CM source?
In general i need some help to build the kernel from source, the instructions in the LG source don't work for me.

How will you compile a 4.4 ROM with 5.0 device tree
And for the Java problem, search on Google: change java ubuntu
There is some command to change to jdk6 instead of jdk7... Something like sudo --configuration java --v
