I am planning on compiling Android from scratch, but I want to learn to customize my System UI to what I like.
Does someone have a link to a guide that can help me out? I have found something that explains some cases like the hierarchy, but not how to modify UI. I am going to sync the repo of AOKP KitKat.

Hi all,
I am looking to find a way to build from repository the latest camera/gallery combo and email/calendar from 4.4 in a CM10 (4.1.2) build process. I get the error that I am building a version of Android too low to use these resources. I have the default set in the repo manifest, and a build version in my cm.mk file. I have tried to a simply chang the fingerprint to 4.4.2 and then adjusting the build number. I also changed the repo version to sync with but it still wants to build 4.1.2
I keep getting into trouble with different local settings in jni files etc. Has anyone managed to do this successfully or is it always a case of cross your fingers and copy the apk in after the build. Ideally I would want to avoid this as I want to make it rather than mka and get a nice ODEXed set out.
Any help very much appreciated
The reason why nobody else is doing this is because it's really improbable you get this working.
For this to work you have to port most of the stuff that makes 4.4 version 4.4 back to your CM10.
It would be way easier to compile 4.4 and change the undesired apps back to CM10 apps. Because 4.4 does have the API and features that CM10 does, just not the other way around.

I have the source for PACMAN ROM downloaded and now I want to figure out how to add other features from either github or wherever to it. There's some things from the xposed framework that I'd like to implement in the ROM but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I'm new to android development, just been porting PAC to my phones that don't have support. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Bump. Anyone?
I was wondering if someone could tell me what part of the android operating system deals with just the os part, (nothing else). And how would i go about making it into a rom?

The just OS part as you are referring to that deals with the OS UI and surface is written in Java (Along with some XML and other aspects) using the Android SDK. I am a little bit confused by your wording but what I'm guessing your asking (If this isn't what your asking please elaborate some more and I'll be happy to help you out) is how to compile Android from source. To compile Android form source I would recommend taking a look at the official Google build guide as well as this great guide on how to compile Lollipop from source. Let me know if you have any additional questions I'll be happy to clear them up for you!
Hi,
I wanted to ask this in other subforum, but this is my first post and I don't have permission there. Do you have a guide to recommend for creating custom roms?
I know a lot about Linux, I can compile kernels, patch, I know C a little. I programmed couple of Android apps, in Java and Go, so I guess I have some basic knowledge.
What do you guys do, with what source do you start? Is it a stock android source but you modify kernel and modules or you need first to find exact source for that phone?
For example, I own a Lenovo A560, and would like to try build custom rom for it. What would be the first steps?
Thanks,
Milan
I've got an Odroid XU4 device. Basically a standalone computer similar to Pi.
It's running CM12 and I believe the dev has given us the source:

I want to learn how to port features from other mod-heavy CM based ROM's to this one.
Where should I start for learning to do this?
I don't have time to learn everything, I'd like to keep it simple and focused towards my single goal. Are there any suggestions for me to get started?
Setting up an Ubuntu VM will be easy.
It's the steps that come next where I'll need a guide.
