Hey guys,
We, The Green Rom Project, are working on updating dsixda's kitchen to include all the latest phones and plugins etc.
What we need to add new phone are your recovery logs....
Once we get your recovery logs we can add the new phone and update our distro.
Check our post here.

It will involve a lot of reading, i believe Dutty provides a kitchen in his roms so thats a start.
heres a great starter, lots of info about the kitchen structure in post 1, great starter guide in post 2

There's a lot involved when it comes to building a fast, stable, well-working ROM.
To get you started, I would recommend you download Ervius's Visual Kitchen based on Bepe's latest tools from HERE.
Second, download the latest stock ROM for your specific device. Mine is the T-Mobile HD2 so the stock ROM for that was where I started.
Extract the RUU_LEO_......exe using WinRAR. It can be found HERE. The free version will serve you well. Now open the Kitchen executable and use the option on the left to "extract" or dump the stock ROM that you just extracted from the exe. This will create the Kitchen for you. Or rather.. It will create a solid base foundation in which you can begin your modifications.
Before you'll be able to re-cook the ROM however, you will have to "recmod" the NTFConfig.dll module in Notification Enhancement. Failure to do this will result in a non-booting ROM. Don't ask why... I just know that this has to be done.
Once you do all of this, rebuild the ROM as stock and flash it to your phone(YOU MUST HAVE HARDSPL FIRST!!!!). If all goes well and the ROM boots, runs, and works like you expect a stock ROM to work, then you're free to start making all the changes you want.
TIP>> NEVER delete any package just because you are now using an updated version. Always keep the original just in case something doesn't work and always remember, keep 2 save files. One that you know for a fact will work if you re-cook and one that you experiment with.
As you get more comfortable with cooking ROMS, then you'll be able to update the SYS/XIP components more easily and so I suggest you stay away from that right off the get go. Get a good solid ROM first then play with those "extras".
One last thing - Familiarize yourself with the initflashfiles.dat file(open it with notepad) located in \OEM\"Device name"\0409\OEM_Lang_0409(I used 0409 as an example as this is WWE - you can use whatever language you like). This file controls all files and directories. Trust me, if you don't understand what I mean by that then open the file and you will.
If you have any other questions I'm sure there are many other chefs here who can offer you help and assistance.
Finally, be persistent! Don't let a buggy or non-booting ROM get you down. It can always be fixed! Just have confidence in your "techy side" and have patience. Know that the more you do it, the better at it you will get.
Good luck and happy building!!!

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..
Where I can find the tutorial for compiling my rom?

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?
Thanks,

Hey guys!
Android is quite the amazing OS.
We all love flashing Custom ROMs
on our fancy devices, and many of
us enjoy the challenge of making, or
porting an OS from another device
to our own.
I made this thread in hopes that we
could get together, collaborate,
and help one another on our Ports
for the AT&T S4.
Knowledge is power, and while I
don't personally have a strong
background in development, or any
actual education with the Android
OS, I have learned soo much from
the amazing people here, and from
the various threads, guides, and
tutorials on XDA.
Let's get stuff booting as a team!
-------------------------------------
Porting Projects:
-------------------------------------
⇨ ColorOS V2 -
└http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745676 (WIP)
⇨ Lewa OS V5 - (WIP)
⇨ Flyme OS V3 - (Failed to Flash)
⇨ MoKee OS - (Finished)
⇨ IUNI OS -
⇨ Ubuntu Touch -
Reserved - just in case.
Started a BaiduCloud Port which is now finished going to flash if no testers are available. Will post results here.
EDIT: Hung at bootscreen - pulling a log tomorrow!
Thanks to @kylecore and @mauserruger for testing!

I'm gonna look into it after work.
Mind sending me the boot.img
And I can scour through it?
Also didn't you create the Prism Color ROM?
Was wondering how you made that using
TW as a base.. I can't get mine to boot!
Cheers!

Hey guys . I'm new to Android development...but i have a good idea about developing a custom rom and kernel using ubuntu..
But one day i was thinking that,
everyone who are interested in rom development goes through the AOSP website and tries it. And atlast after so many confusions and so many new learnings they compile it..
Bug fixing and adding features is next job.... Let's keep it aside
My thought was to build a software using java or c++ , which will automatically compile the rom for any device according to the user's input.
The inputs are device's code name (eg:-hammerhead)
And type of os(lineage based or aosp based etc...)
In the background of this software, all the rom compiling codes, source downloading codes, setting up environment codes etc,.. will be feeded using c++ or java.
After getting inputs from the user via a simple interface, the process will start. Downloading source, choosing directory,compilation, and finally the flashable rom will be the output of this software which will be stored in the given directory folder...
What do u guys think about this. Will this work???
i also know there are many troubles making this software
Pls comment abt ur thought guys..
I also need help in this case..
My vote is for is for a interactive GUI for android kernel development. One to allow easy modification to the kernel source and compilation. Kinda like Link+ Kernel Ide for Eclipse but for android
I am completely new to Android Engineering and want to learn it. Till now, I have tried building aosp oreo from repo. It is built successfully but I don't know about the use of all the folders that are downloaded by the repo. What is the use or importance of each folder in repo? Where can I learn more about this?
I have also modified my stock firmware (only removed some bloatware apps) and rebuilt the firmware. I haven't installed it yet. I used android kitchen which helped me with signing the zip but I am afraid the signature might be for testing and not the official vendor signature. I have phone with unlcoked bootloader but it's still on stock recovery. According to my knowledge, unlocking bootloader helps us to flash unofficial files but people at XDA say that we should also have custom recovery to flash custom ROMs. Should I flash the modified ROM built by me in device with stock ROM and unlocked bootloader?
My device doesn't have official TWRP support. How can I port recovery or build it from scratch for my phone?
Also, I have only modified stock ROM and need to learn porting ROMs like porting MIUI for my device. How can we port ROMs?
Sorry for asking all these at once but I tried getting answer one after another which confused me a lot. I am a noob in this field.
I read XDA thread of TWRP developer which included a guide on how to build TWRP for any device. But as the author said, that post wasn't for noobs. Maybe I need to learn a lot before I reach that level of understanding. But I don't know what to learn and from where. Please help..
And one last thing - What is a device tree? Or vendor tree? I saw these words many times when I was trying to understand the above things. But I still don't know what these are and Google doesn't help. Thank you everyone..
