Hi All,
Just managed to build and install Lineage from source with the help of this fine place and am now looking at the next step: modding the ROM. In particular I'd like to change a driver file with a patched one but would love a general, newbie proof overview to customizing.
I've had a quick trawl but most of the guides seem to be quite old so any recommendation would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hello my friend,
I'm software developper and cooker on Windows Mobile.
I would like to begin my Android cooking and have reading many tips on XDA, thanks a lot for this.
Nevertheless, i have some little questions....
In order to cook rom for android, it's possible to edit the rom with a kitchen and build a final ZIP rom in order to update with recovery menu.
But, if i want to update the latest android build, what is the way ?
* Need i to download the android source code and buid it ?
* I'm so sorry for this noob question but it's very hard to find "simple" informations about the different way of cooking on android. It will be very nice if anyone could explain the different way of cooking and this amazing os
Thanks a lot my friends,
Regards,
Nixeus

(all above links are in this subforum)
The build of android you cook is determined by the device you own. That's where you need to start.
1. Choose device
2. Look for device on xda forums
3. Look around the device forum you just selected, paying extra attention to the "<device-name> Android Development" subforum
4. Learn
Cooking for android (correctly) isn't learned overnight.
Thanks a lot
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,

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)
Hi boy,
I want to create my own custom rom (for nexus 4),nothing complicated (for now ).
Here there are a lot of big developers that i I respect a lot and for this i want to ask you the process I have to do or guides that I follow.
In this week I've find a lot of tutorial but i don't know if they are compatible with lollipop and the tests I've done have all gone wrong.
If one of you show me a guide to follow, it would follow having at least make sure to get the results and did not waste time to have followed a guide incompatible or old.
I know C#, java and C but i can study other languages.
I apologize if you find this post trivial, is that I really want to learn but i'm only 17 years old and it is not easy to understand English.
I rely on you, thanks! :fingers-crossed:
So, Im looking for some help here.
I am using the X821 version Le Max 2, and I have just recently rooted successfully. I wanted to ask for some suggestions with what custom ROM should I try out first? I suppose I am looking for a very stable ROM with theming to black capabilities. Other than that, I am open to anything, but I do need some help from some of you more seasoned or veterans in this smartphone tech game... Please leave me with some comments or suggestions for my first custom ROM to install, maybe some pros and cons or ROM specific issues if any. Thanks so much for all of your help with this question guys.

You can find all the available ROM for this device in the development section. Each one has a short introduction about what the package contains and found bugs. Nobody can really tell which one should be on your phone, It completely depends on your preferences. You need to decide what's more important to you, then make the choice. E.G. If customization is a must have feature, You might wanna go for the CM based ROMs like ResurrectionRemix, Mokee.
