Short answer, Nope.
Longer answer...it can aid in the porting of cm7, but it won't be a direct, instant, no problem port. It will move some files for you, but you must also know which files to remove, edit, tweak, etc. before you could even begin porting it
I'm thinking a fresh new build is most likely the best option for CM. You'll have to be patient like the rest and give them time.There's a lot of time, work and testing envolved either way.
You got an answer from myn so that should keep this thread short and sweet. OP you can always go to the CM dev team and watch for any info they share.
thanks to both of you....anyone wanna teach me how to port lol

I would like to learn how to code a rom. I'm well aware of the fact that it's gonna be very hard but I will certainly try... I'll probably start by learning how to do small edits an existing rom and go on from there.
So would you like to know how to theme or compile?

Hey there..
Even i am interested in ROM development..starting off with tweaks and theming..then moving to MIUI theming level..and then actual porting and ROM development with kernel stuff compiling and all..
i know it would be very hard and would require few months to start off and create 1..
i am ok..i am 18 and would be having summer vacations as well
And im on CM9 currently by maclaw
i do have programming experience primarily in C,C++, .NET and good in Java..i am an app dev as well..just started few months ago..and made apps..1 rooted app too
i know all of the stuff would be in C and C++..but i am eager to learn and develop !!
well I want a TRUSTWORTHY start off guide ..could you help me out..in providing some useful links or even knowledge sharing would be awesome!
The code isn't just C and C++
There's the Makefile language , Java language and Javascript .
Herpderp Defy.
Ohh ok!
Do you have some useful links from where i can learn or atleast start..!
I just love Android .. currently just making apps using only d SDK..
and what is the MakeFile language for..guessing it would be for packaging stuff together..i guess so....
And was wondering .. do i only have to refer the chef central at xda!
or there is some more awesome learning stuff somewhere else?!
And Linux knowledge is also important (not much though)

There are too many ROM and so many possibilities.
Lately i have tested the Kitchen Sink ROM and loved it, but the thing that gets me the most is Stock Motorola Cam. It doesnt have it . The CM9 Cam from kitchen sink is good but its delayed alot. There are more i would like to explain but ill just leave it simple. Can you make your own ROM?
yes
Sent from my mopho
Unlike the winmo days where anyone could get a kitchen and build away, the closest thing android has to that is the aroma installer kitchen sink uses. So building a rom on android is a bit more advanced. Best bet would be getting an already credible minimal rom such as the 3.2.5 deblur/cm7 and theming/modifying it to your liking. But the fact that you asked such a broad question kinda tell me that youve got a lot of reading to do if youre plannin to undertake such a project.

Oh boy...I just love it when people start saying
"I'm building a ROM", "I'm doing dev work", "I want to be a recognized developer"
Then I make suggestions and I get "That's too hard", "Do you have a download link" "Cn u teac me hw mak a custm kernel?"
Yet they are totally unwilling to actually invest some time into these things and LEARN it.
Guy's Rome wasn't built in a day, and your ROM isn't going to be either. Look around, read, SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH. Download other people's stuff not just to Kang it, rename/re-post it under your name, but to LEARN, to figure out how it works, so you can UNDERSTAND. This isn't like a store, where you walk in and go "I want one of those, and I'll take one of them, and please get me that, where can I find this, etc, etc." Make little modifications, tweaks on top of tweaks, and keep doing that until it's soemthing new, soemthing different, and THEN post it. But please don't limit yourself, to what is "Easy" or "Comfortable", it's not the way to get anywhere with real development work, much less in life. Put some time into it, and some effort. I really do wish you all luck, but you guys have to stop looking for the easy way to get some quick credit.

He was being helpful, he is bringing up a attitude that is rampant here on XDA, namely the "cooking" of ROMs. There are WAY too many people who just cook a ROM in a kitchen and claim to have "developed" it. No, you just re-packaged somebody's work, it's not the same thing. I'm not saying it's useless, but it causes way to many "developer" wanna-be's that just aren't interested in actually learning something. Up above we posted suggestions and you responded with

That creates the impression that you aren't wanting to try any other methods for creating ROMs. If you were trying to say that you don't know smali, then maybe you should have said something like,

This is very true, I'm new to porting and I'm starting with porting so I can learn the ins and outs of a rom so at a later time I can learn to develop, even in porting I've had to back smali and make some edits to get things working so sooner or later you will have to as well.. I'm currently reading a begginers guide on java for android.. Google is my best friend and I'm trying to learn as much as I can because I have an idea of my 'ideal' rom.. I can't wait for someone else to do it so I can port it and I know it will never be the way I want.. I'm doing it mainly for myself and I hope one day I can share with others

Best thing to do is get on the good side of a dev and ask them to teach you, I had great help from some of the best devs on XDA, but as above its not something you can just learn easily, I already had a pretty good knowledge of Java and XMLs etc before i got a smart phone lol, If you stick to it then you should get somewhere, Java is a pain in the ass though, editing .smalis is probably the hardest thing for a new dev

Working on a ROM using the kitchen. It's really good for showing you a lot of things you need to do for basics (deodexing, zipaligning, etc.) Just remember that it is "basic" and you can't completely construct a ROM just using the kitchen. Great way to get started :good:

Building Sense based ROMs using dsixda's kitchen is pretty straight forawrd, hardest part was seting it up to run on a windows pc. You pretty much just end up with a deodexed, zipaligned ROM. I haven't done this with my Rezound but have built ones for the Incredible and Eris. You can also de-sense ROMs easily witht his too. Its a good tool to learn teh basics. The next step up is to learn to compile from source or to port over a ROM from another device.

You can't really be shown how to make a ROM. Every Rom is different, and requires different steps.
