Good Day all,
I'm looking for a procedure, step by step or any sources of information explaining how to create a custom rom from an android source code (2.2, 2.3, future 4.0)
Many thanks

Hi,
I have (had) exactly the same problem. Can build a zImage, but what to do next??
Maybe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 can help you. I'm reading it now, and will try it in the next couple of days.
Anyway it is important to mention which phone+model you have, since there are differences.
greets,
Ruud
Hi,
I am trying to build the Motorola Photon 4G kernel and maybe ROM from source code. Can anyone help me get started?
With the great help from this forum, this is what I have so far:
- unlocked bootloader
- ClockworkMod recovery installed
- root access
I found the source code was released here:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/photon4g.motorola/files/PHOTON-4G/4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6/
I come from Samsung so I have downloaded the CodeSourcery toolchain for arm 2009q3.
With the samsung phones we needed the initramfs from the original kernel. Does anyone know how I can extract this out for the photon?
Also the build procedure for the samsungs were:
1) make clean
2) config ***_config
3) make modules
4) make
Is this the same for the moto? What is the config name I should call (step 2)?
If anyone knows of a post that already explains this please refer me. If not, I promise to document what I learn here to share.
Thanks in advance for your help.
This info may help:

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to learn how to port CM12 to my I717 and there are many threads on XDA that provide a lot of information on how to port a ROM from source. However, I am stuck as place and can't figure out what to do, so please excuse my lack of knowledge and please guide me through this process.
First I started following this thread to do the porting. It has an excellent walk through, but somewhere I missed a step and can't f figure out how to handle it.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40003302&postcount=2&nocache=1
I am lost at the Device Source instructions provided in Step Two (2). What should my command line for I717.
Second, I realized that when I did the Repo Sync for CM12, I remember that I Sycn in the ./CM12/ folder, however, all the folders are downloaded in the home folder.
Whatever the reason, I screwed up somwherre. Can I move all the folders to the CM12 folder, if so how? Would it be better if I delete all the Sync folders in the home location and re sync in the CM12 folder?. I prefer that I do it the second method, but not sure which folders to delete and how to do that?
I am using Ubuntu (Please note that I am new to Linux, But willing to learn).
I would kindly request you to please help me learn by providing step by step instructions.
Thank you for your time to help me with this issue.
Start from scratch.

Set up your build environment. This link is tailored to our Note-1, not a generic "insert_your_device_here" recipe for destruction. Slap JamieD's "thanks" button while you're at it.
Build CM10.2 or CM11 first, to get the hang of it.
I've attempted to build CM12 on my own. My conclusion is that unless you're willing to re-write about half the CM source code from the ground up, CM12 isn't going to happen for us. Android 4.3 and above were extreme hack/hatchet jobs for both the Note-1 and the Skyrocket (they're sister devices). CM-11 almost didn't happen at all; it took us nearly six months to get a reliably working CM-11 build.
Indeed, CM-12 isn't happening for a LOT of devices, this "early" in the game.

Don't give up just yet, we have been working diligently on source bringing it up to 5.0. If you like you can follow my work & get involved yourself? Please checkout my github and get you some builds going. There more Devs we have then the better we can make this device. My GITHUB

Hi, anyone can help me please ?
I would like to have this on my phone, github /pelya/android-keyboard-gadget and it says that I need to compile the kernel myself. I am not sure how to do this, as in where to find the correct files for my phone (SM-A300FU).
Thank you.
