That should be the same as for any other porting. There are plenty of guides around, here is one example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/general/guide-porting-guide-how-to-port-stock-t1791006 Just make sure the two rom (stock and custom) are the same Android version, otherwise it gets a lot more difficult.

"Making" a rom isnt a single well defined thing, what do you want todo, deodex a stock rom, build a AOSP based rom, apply mods to a rom, what?
Your best bet is to work out what you want todo (read around rom threads to see *what* can be done) then search for howto's, basically everything is documented if you search.
I wanna make odexed stock without samsung ****.

First thing you'll need is the ability to search the dev forum and find the guide with tools that describes how to do this.
I was at dev forum, but it's hard to find something, because there are so many threads

I personally think it's quite weird you don't press the thanks button for TheATHEiST, but when you get an answer you like you actually do. These all are the basic questions when it comes to rooting and flashing etc., and you clearly didn't seem to take the effort to read and search for yourself.

Seriously, you just can't come here asking to someone develop a custom ROM of Android 4.3 for your device.
Here, in XDA, you can find a bunch of tutorials of how to develop a ROM

Thanks for your reply. I have gone through a number of tutorials but couldn't get too much as no android 4.3 is available for mtk6589 devices and no tutorial to port from 4.2 to 4.3 for mtk6589 devices.

It should be valid kernel if ROM is working fine.

I followed all steps required to port a ROM , created the zip file and tried to flash through TWRP recovery.

Not really, sometimes dsixda kitchen use a fake boot.img in your ROM file. In that case the kernel is from previous ROM.
Anyway, you need to remove some strings of updater script. Can't tell what now but you search for "status 7" in dsixda thread maybe you can find something.

@rajneeshk
Status 7 means your mount points in the updater-script are wrong and/or your update-binary is not the correct type and doesn't support the syntax used for the mount points. Also, ensure your boot.img is using the correct instruction in the updater-script for flashing it.
Try to delete this strings of updater-script
Code:
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot");
delete("/tmp/boot.img");
Aaaand take a look here
Hope this help you, be carefull
thanks a lot
