download an other custom rom and modify it:
add/remove apps
change theme
modify apps (change the icons..etc)
modify framework-res.apk
add tweaks
and any other things you want

I Think that we do not need more rom developer, with owain and slade we got enough, maybe yoou should study about kernel development, thats what we need , im already studying kernels too

cywin and htc android kitchen by dsixda 0.157 if ... a good cooking tools... apkmanager 4.9 for sing and bach app files...
is the best for testing and developer rooms

Ive got the kitchen to work on a Ubuntu VM, but i dont know how to add tweaks and stuff like that
And also, another question, how would i make it flashable (i made a port from HTC Wildfire Stock rom -> Mini Pro rom) - What Permissions should i set?

Download a custom rom and check /meta'inf/com/google/android/update-script

Download some custom rom (CM7, CM6, slade's rom or owain's rom) and check in, \META-INF\com\google\android\Update-script, what its inside this file, this will be damn useful for you
EDIT: BTW, check permissions

I think you should try things man, nobody will help you learning to be a dev , just try with things, that's autodidactic process

messing in the rom is modding,
try to port a rom close to our hardware like wildefire/legend htc sense
play with libs.
for developing get cyanogenmod/floyo or some other source and set it up and try to compile.

ServerBoost100, you are saying that you want to be a developer, but you ask for every step here. Maybe do your own job and study something, not only
ok, i have (...), what now?
