[Q] Building custom roms for galaxy s4 i9505 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA Users,
I am interested in starting to compile custom roms for my galaxy s4 (GT-I9505). I already have a spare laptop with sufficient specs to be able to set up the building environment, but i need a guide which will allow me to understand and learn what libraries and terminal codes are needed in order to be able to select a custom rom and compile it from GIT.
Any guides or help will be greatly appreciated
Cheers

WHat do I need to start experimewnting with compiling AOSP Roms?

The subject says most of it.
I would like to start learning how to compile ROMs but I don't know where to start. I figured the biggest Android developer site might yield some useful input from the more experienced developers.
Thanks in advance for your help.

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)

If you want to contribute to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) a useful place to start is looking at the Get Involved section on the official Android developers website.
For learning about building android from source take a look at these two guides:
Google's official guide to building AOSP
How to Compile Jelly Bean on Ubuntu
For a porting guide take a look at this guide:
How to Port ROM's
For kernel building take a look at this guide:
Google's official guide for building kernels
Let me know if you still have questions .

Thank you, I already had downloaded and compiled the code. Would you mind write again the link for How to Port ROM''s, you wrote twice the link for How to Compile Jelly Bean on Ubuntu.
Thanks again for your help

[Q] How to make a ROM for my custom device?

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)
