Hi All,
Is there any guide on building/creating Local_manifest from Scratch. I have followed few tutorials on "How to Build Rom from Source" but, I am stuck at the Local_manifest. How Can i get the links for the vendors, kernel and Device tree.
I know, it is a dumb question, but as I am beginner in developing. I don't hesitate to ask even it is worst question.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Rocky

Hi, I'm interested in learn how to contribute to the Android code, I know there are mailing lists. I'm interested in android-building , android-porting, android-contrib and android-kernel but the problem is that I don't know where to start, ¿Where could I find resources (books, webs etc) that let me acquire enough knowledge to start to colaborate?
Thank you very much in advance.

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

Sorry for posting the compiling Jelly Bean link twice.

Hello, i wanted to learn more about developing android ROMs, Porting to other android versions, porting Firefox OS maybe. So i Bought a very cheap chinese tablet which cost $50, and i want to start meddling with it in some experiences.. i just needed some directions where to go..
First i wanted to know how to make a dump of my current android so i can restore it in case i need.
I already rooted the tablet, it is running android 4.0.4.
then i want to start trying to port it to Jelly Bean. i know i need some drivers but just getting a booting version will do for me. i looked at the Android AOSP about build instructions, but there was only instructions how to build for nexus devices, not an "generic build" i can build upon.
I looked at other site that gave me different instructions but i believe that they are for porting roms other than compiling from source.
Any light on this path is appreciated, thanks
There is no need to make such useless threads directly search xda and read and learn there are dozens of threads stating the tut.
Or directly go to chefs centrel
Rather than creating mess.
Hope u understand.

PM me if u need help

Greetings to all members of the forum.
I would like to ask the more experienced developers of android custom ROMs - "what do you advise to read on this subject?" I'm a student, I study as the programmer, so that the experience is there, but all the articles describe work with the kitchen. I would like to read something more serious, very interested in this topic (the device on Android, but as such this brand no online, as in this forum, respectively firmware this custom not), would like to try.
I would be very grateful for the links. Please, do not send me in Google. He wouldn't help me.
Sorry, for my English)
P.S. Now downloading the sources from the repository AOSP.
P.P.S. Sorry for doublepost.

just read the documentation on the website from where you are downloading sources .. eg. source.android.com
Hi
I was wondering if someone of You could give me some advices about building the device, vendor and kernel tree. I tried with info found in google, but it seems not to work good. Well it doesn't work at all. I searched xda, but no-one gave precise answer. It would be really nice if there had been some answers
I really count on You, Devs
Thanks in advance
Can anyone please provide a proper, elaborate guide for compiling roms for miatoll tree? Have time in lockdown and eager to learn the process.
The guides on google are way too generic or backdated. I guess it'll help many people like me if some DEVS took the time to write a guide which shall in turn, in my opinion promote more development.
Come on,some devs got to give something... I know I'm not the only one looking for this.....

Do you think following a "guide for compiling roms" enough to compile roms after roms... it's not so easy. I'm not developer, only was curious to try to build roms for my phone. All information you can find on the internet, just need to search.
If you really want to start and learn, first step is to prepare your PC to android build, ex.:
