For that you have to read a lot understand the basics of android, it should be your first step

Some ROMs ive downloaded seem to be just a stock ROM with twlauncher replaced by other launchers available on the market with extra apps added.

Unlikely to be just stock + different launcher but you would need to read the roms specifications .
Point out rom version you describe please .

It sounds to me like what you want to do could be achieved with a Kitchen, which is a program that can help you customize your existing ROM by adding and removing pieces from it. The kitchen then normally outputs a ZIP file you can flash.
Some kitchens run on your handset, some run on your PC.
I am new to Galaxy S II (I've been a Vibrant user for years), but I am sure a quick search of the forums will find you some kitchens.
I am a complete noob to this even if I get one of these kitchens i wont know what do next, will it have tutorials?

Essentially you're looking for an easy way to do this (like 90% of people on here), and there isn't one.
If you really want to make roms you wouldn't be asking basic questions on here. You'd be doing the research/learning necessary to achieve what you say you want to do.

This says it all. You're not even close to having the ability to make your own ROM.
And before anyone flames, I happily admit that I'm not close either. I've done the research, but lack the time and - especially - skills necessary.
There's a lot of tools that will help you theme a ROM, probably a better point to start from. Check the general android themes forum.
I know im not close but there was a time when the best rom producers didnt even know what a rom was.
Im just tryin to find out where to start and since theres a lot of rom developers on this site i think its the best place to ask

Agree - everyone has to start somewhere. But I reckon most devs here have some coding/programming skills as a base - something I certainly don't possess.
Here's a noob's guide that I've been promising myself to try one day, when I have 8 or 10 years spare... seems a good starting point anyway. It's for the HD2 but the general theory seems universal.
Otherwise, google.

Hi Guys/Gals
I need some serious assistance. I have been playing around with some roms and decided that its time to start my own one as what I need is not completely what any of the other roms could offer.
Is there anyone that is willing to assist me a little to get things going. I have googled now for 2 days straight. Got the SDK that's completely useless (Unless someone could guide me on it) and I have played around with so many apps and things I really dunno where to begin.
To start I just want a plain rom witch i could start hacking at and start creating my own rom with.
Thanks in Advance
Would you like some fries with that?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I was just asking for a clean 4.0.4 rom to download from somewhere actually. I will decompile it and change everything myself.
I didnt ask for fries but thanks for the offer

Thanks m8 From what i learn ripping other roms apart I found those 2 You dont know perhaps where I could find just a Clean ICS 4.0.4 ?
-----------------
From what I saw there are 2 versions currently... The CM9 and CM9 kitchens ... I want to make something totally different. TBH im so over the same old same old with the roms. Hence I want to start fresh and build something completely different yet nice enough for everyone to use. 99% of the roms try to look like the Pure ICS Blue but Apex is crap in my opinion and breaks non stop. Well I tend to break it a lot so I want something new and from all the roms I looked at there is no middle ground Rom out yet.... Its either CM9 or Some complete ICS Nexus look alike ... no variety.
So that being said I wasnt being offensive to anyone. I just want to build a middle ground ROM but what the base of it to be correct thats all

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.

@OP I know of zero performance modifications that you can do in XML, and if you are looking to use someone else's work and use that then start searching and make sure you ask before you use it.

Who are you referring it to? I cooked a rom and I think that I have made the rom. Of you don't have anything to help me then please don't comment. I don't understand smali but I know how to read tutorials and add more features in the rom by smali editing like swipe to remove, 14 toggle etc.

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,
I don't know smali so I'm not sure how well I could implement features like that. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Not only is that easier to read, but it also communicates much more clearly what you are trying to say/ask. But the way that post is currently worded it makes it sound like you are just wanting to re-package somebody's work and use it as your own.

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

Thanks for the link, kzoodroid. Been thinking about possibly starting up ROM'ing for a bit now, just never knew where to start.
I haven't had any code projects to work on since I got out of college for summer break... weird that I'm slightly itching to code lol.
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.
Yeah I understand that but I mean like for finding where things are located and what some important things do

theres no shortcut to learning how to make roms
id say a large portion of rom devs started out by theming...helps to learn the files structures and what does what...as well as becoming familiar w/ apktool, smali, etc

All roms are google because google makes android but whenever you buy a phone the company puts there software on top of android. The nexus didnt have any software added so its a pure google rom. Go to the thread I sent you and look for CyanogenMod.

ROMs are phone dependant. What you are looking for is an unaltered version of android, like your nexus had. The closest you will find is a ROM like Cyanogen mod... CM for short, or one that says AOSP in the name (Android open Source Project).
Really you should read the stickies in the main forum and research a little about installing ROMs on a phone. You should not just jump in with no knowledge and expect to get it the way you want right away. This is a lot of the time a trial and error thing until you find a ROM that suits your tastes.
Good luck in your search for a new ROM.

You have a lot of reading and research to do if you ended up paying someone on Craigslist to root your phone. For all you know it only has root and still has the locked bootloader and stock recovery. READ, READ, and then READ SOME MORE.

Yes the galaxy nexus and galaxy note 2 are two total different roms. The note has samsung touchwiz which has alot of great features that pure aosp doesnt but if you are looking for aosp I would suggest cm10.1 or liquidsmooth my 2 favorit aosp roms.

A good start for you is go to settings then all the way at the bottom select about phone. See what build your phone is on and also what andeois version (4.1.2 oe 4.2.2 etc) search for qhat your phone has as those and you can find out if your running a stock or custom rom. From there someone can better help you choose a rom to test. But keep in mind roms come down to what you like not qhat everyone else likes. I'm currently running the transnebula tab rom and loving right now. But always read read read before doing anything if you're new to this. Then when you think you're ready read some more then test

Just run someone else's rom. If you cant find the cm thread on your own, you got a slim chance of cooking a rom. I mean good luck but it sounds like a terrible idea to me and you dont know much about android dude. Use google to find a guide. Its not difficult friend

Read more.... lots more and jump in! It's a lot if work, but you can make your own, but you will need research. You won't get the info you need by asking, you won't get enough to succeed. Sure I could point you to the ROM kitchen thread or a thread with guides to compile and AOSP ROM from source, but I'm betting you dont know what that means yet. Which is why I say research then when you get stuck people are very helpful.
Ps guys I agree he's not ready yet and is probably best running someone's work, but I always encourage new development
