[Q] How to make a ROM for my custom device? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
My fiends (Electronic engineers) want to assemble a new tablet, they asked me to research about making a ROM for that.
Now, I need some resources to know about making a new ROM with custom kernel for our device.
Does anybody have references or any information or experiment about that?
and last question is about Commercial use, is there any permissions from Google if we want to sell our device?
(Sorry for my very bad English)

So, if for example we use Cortex A9 CPU just what we need is the source code from CPU producer?
Does other hardware are not important?!!
What is the source we get from CPU producer?

Nobody helps me??

i thinks you need to download source from goole aosp... and shearch for driver for you custom devices...

(all above links are in this subforum)
The build of android you cook is determined by the device you own. That's where you need to start.
1. Choose device
2. Look for device on xda forums
3. Look around the device forum you just selected, paying extra attention to the "<device-name> Android Development" subforum
4. Learn
Cooking for android (correctly) isn't learned overnight.
Thanks a lot

If everyone have this tool to make their own preferred ROM, then what for those X10 developers are trying their best to make good ROM now??

Nothing comes easy.
Yes, I know. But I want to start my own ROM to learn about this Andriod's world. I'm a java developer and I undestand that nothing comes easy.

I don't think that you can create a ROM with a program. You could maybe start porting ROMs from other devices with THIS guide
Ok! Do you like the word "modify"? Well, yes. I want to modify a ROM, but the thread send me, it's a good start.

Hi Chris my name is Andrew and i might be able to give you some basic info and guidelines. First i would suggest using a ROM kitchen for basic ROM modding. I would recommend using Dsixda's ROM kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 .When you feel confident that you can get on tothe more complex stuff you can check my tutorial about compiling from source code http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667551 .After you get over that then the Internet should become your mentor in advanced source code editing (most of the time anyway but you shouldn't feel shy about asking something if unclear)
