[Q] Implementing features from other sources - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] Adding Halo to Roms

I know that lots of roms come with Halo now, but I've been wanting to stick with stock cm10.1 which unfortunately doesn't have it. Now I know that installing Halo is much more than just installing an apk, but can someone explain to me the process? How is Halo implemented into Roms, and if possible, some instruction on doing it myself.
Thanks in advance

The way HALO is implemented into ROM's is by cherrypicking the commits from the Paranoid Android github repository that make HALO work. For example if in this Google Plus post from the Paranoid Android Team you will see mainly these two commits 1. https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/android_frameworks_base/commit/518c329e8c67fa96b8a8fc22e1962ddb8497c333 and 2. https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/android_packages_apps_Settings/commit/7c739a86e7a02451a63615d71f1b6c846caacdc6 are needed to implement the HALO features. Since you mentioned you were interested in doing this yourself I would recommend taking a look at this excellent guide to using github and cherrypicking commits. I would also recommend looking at the Cyanogenmod wiki on building CM10.1 from source if you have never done that before.

Building CM11 from source

So, I have this source for building CM11, for xpeira sp, huashan. We already have CM11 but, I desperately need HALO in CM. So I want to cherry-pick HALO to cm.
So I have start from the source. Here's what we have
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_huashan/
https://github.com/freexperia/android_device_sony_huashan
How do I start from here? I want to cherry-pick the HALO and build the rom, nothing else.
I've set up building environment in my current OS. So I guess I need to fork the repo from git to my pc, then cherry-pick the HALO and build...? Plus, in the source, there's a few folder that says no longer needed, so how I get rid of them, too?
You won't get any help here. Tried getting help here and not a single dev helped. Here we want to help each other but the ones with knowledge don't want to share with us who just want to build and have fun. I'm really sorry kid

[Q] Build Android with Custom System UI

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.
T.I.A.
