I'm interested in WRITING my own custom ROM, not cooking it. A while ago I saw a thread about someone giving us a piece of advice with everything I needed to learn to write my own custom ROM because he hated the Android Kitchen Moniker (I hate it too). Can someone give me pointers to write my ROM, not just "cook" it? Perhaps anyone knows what's the thread I'm talking about?

i made a thread earlier, and got some replies, but it didnt really clear that much up in my head.
I would be greatgul if you could help me out with this one please.
I have been reading alot of threads about changing the ROM from an Orange one (my phone is so slow with it!) to a new 'lite' one. but i just dont understand how!
could someone clirfy what these terms mean please: (in simple terms)
what is a Hard-SPL?
What is a ROM Kitchen?
What is a ROM DUMP?
What is USPL?
What is ROM (i'm assuming it is where the OS is stored and it means read-only memory?)
what is a CID unlocker and why do i need it?
Thanks.
You guys are all pros and dont understand a word of whats written most of the time lol
I found the ROM I wanted yesterday(cant find it now will have to look harder) its a lite one with only the basics there.
Is it hard for a novice to do somthing like this?
Thanks wez

I have looked everywhere for the file. I cant us the Xutility tool as i ma on ubuntu. my emulater wont run so thats out of the question.
I really need a stock deodexed 4.1.26 rom so that I can mod and them it to my liking.
is there anyone out there with a cwm flashable zip or a completely wiped recovery backup that i may use to install on my atrix and do my theming and modding on?
Thanks a bunch in advance.
Ok.........Bump......bump...
I am not trying to be rude by anymeans when i make this statement, however i am finding the atrix community to not be very helpful. my previous devices communities are so much more tight knit and more than willing to respond to even the dumbest question and to help all members out no matter what.
Since i have been a member of this community i have gotten very little assistance with things that i thought would be simple to answer and give feedback on that i am really actually disgusted.
I am not interested in changing to a custom rom as i havent found one that i like and really just want to theme and mode my stock 4.1.26.... can someone give me a hand in this or did i just happen to get the wrong device and join the wrong communtity?
I'm interested in learning how to port ROMs. I've done a lot of searching online and can't really figure out exactly what steps are needed. From what I've read, the porting process consists of replacing files in the ROM you're porting with files that are compatible with the Fascinate, but I don't understand which files need replaced. Also, information I've found on various websites don't explain what other steps are needed in order to successfully port a ROM. I'm sure there's more to it. Is anybody willing to take the time to explain what steps are involved in porting a ROM? Your help is appreciated!
It takes a significant amount of work, and if you've never done any ROM building in the past, you may want to start with that before worry about porting a new ROM.
See topic title, I apologize if this description is brief. I have experience in porting Samsung roms from the S7. How would this differ?
Would it even be possible? If anyone's curious what ROM, I can always specify. I simply want to know to see if it's feasible before I attempt something fruitless that a few simple META-INF tweaking won't solve.
Thanks! - ODO
