I only put this as a request since the most common thing is that people are looking for ROMs that haven't been developed. So I want to ask someone if they can provide the necessary steps on building/porting so we can all collaboratively pitch in towards development on the v30. Tons of users(including myself) would like to learn to build and or want some ROMs ported. If anyone can point in certain directions or even post a mini guide for the rest of us to use that would be greatly appreciated ?

+1 haven't built anything since Cyanogenmod, need to dust myself off.
I also want to make an H933 stock flashable zip. (minus recovery)
It sounds good, i would give a try too.
same as any other device. get build environment setup, download source and device trees and start building.

As another kinda nudge for ya; here is a guide I used when building for the Moto G 2015.

Suggested Thread Idea(Sorry if in wrong section), if devs do not want this, could a mod please delete this? Thanks!
This thread is meant to relieve the load on devs and provide a source of ideas for them. No offense to devs, I'm not insulting your capabilities. Besides, I hardly know any programming.
Anyway, I'm thinking of collecting suggestions from the many people who make up this X10 mini developing community. I'm sure all of us would want to help as this benefits everyone. Also, some of us here have knowledge of Linux Kernel programming(although not in android) and could help. No questions are to be posted.
Here is an example of the format needed -
Kernel Unlocking - Fool the bootloader! <- This is the title.
Concept: Instead of trying to deactivate or skip the locked bootloader, is it possible to actually fool the bootloader into thinking the one you are trying to load is legitimate? Perhaps by imitating the properties of the kernel that the bootloader looks for, we could load a custom kernel onto the phone.
So, a question to devs - would you rather want or not want this? Thanks!

Oh, I see. Nevermind, thanks a lot!
I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum, but i'm posting here because i think i am in the right place.. If not mods please move this to appropriate forum..
So I'm on the nexus s 4g and i'm feeling like i'm ready to get into porting and then development.. I really just need help understanding eclipse and how to port in general.. I know eclipse is great for developement and I just installed the adt and the sdks through eclipse and I need to know how to set this up so I can run a logcat through adb so I can see why my port isn't fully booting.. I'm stuck at the boot animation.. I've tried reading some guides but because i'm still a noob i feel like there's always something i'm missing.. I was hoping someone here would be so kind as to help run me through on getting this set up and helping me understand the fundementals..
there are many that know more than me, but i can try to help a little bit...
first off, im going to assume you are porting roms, not apps, because of how you have things worded i was a bit confused at first.
now, eclipse is an amazing IDE, but when it comes to porting android roms from device to device its not going to be much (if any at all) help to you. eclipse is great for application development, and building a full, ready to install android package (apk) for pushing to the market or side-loaded. (installed on data partition)
there dont tend to be many guides or strait line ways do do things. it all comes out of experience and good problem solving skills. learn to read your logcats, understand what they are saying. you will get it!
im more of a source built kind-of-guy, and never did any porting of pre-compiled roms. but i know http://freeyourandroid.com/ is a great resource for getting started with just that.
please also think about looking into the android build system, its complicated, but you will get it eventually, and it will teach you how a rom really works, and is really built, and it gives you complete control to do anything you want.
hope this was a little help.

the only reason i was setting up eclipse for this was because it was to my understanding it had the tools needed to get adb to produce a logcat, i've delt with apps before.. I made myself a lil launcher for miui and a couple others, but i just have no idea on how to do anything with adb and gettings log cats.. I do appreciate your response and i will take a look at that website.
I know over at the androidforums a few users where able to succesfully port from vm to ting. However they didn't really give too many details regarding the whole process especially with roms. Before I keep on going I'd like to apologize as I think this thread is supposed to go into the development section but I'm denied because I just signed up. Anyways I'd like to know what I need to do to in order to be able to flash the sprint based roms on here. Thank you.
THIS GUIDE IS FOR THE MOTO G6 PLUS ONLY
Hopefully, this guide will accomplish a number of things:
Reduce the same questions being answered over and over.
Reduce the likelihood of errors when modifying the device.
Educate users how to fix a bricked or soft-bricked device.
Educated users on Custom Roms.
Educate users on Project Treble and the Generic System Image format.
READ FIRST
Before we begin, let me inform you that you must unlock your bootloader for any of this guide to actually be of use. There are risks! However, there is about a 99.99% chance that the device can be saved even if it appears it will not power on. However, I do not suggest you deviate from the information in this guide. If you follow this guide step by step there is a 99.99% chance you will not encounter any errors! The best practice is to read any and all sections that apply to what you want to accomplish before you attempt them. Read them two or three times. You don't have to memorize them by heart, but this will hopefully make you feel more confident while reducing the chance of an error.
Index:
1: Preparing to Unlock Bootloader
2: Returning to Stock
3: How to install Root (aka Magisk)
4: How to install Custom Roms
*5. Project Treble and Generic System Images
*One last guide will be posted tomorrow to cover Project Treble/Generic System Images aka GSI.
Thank you @Xplorer4x4 your guide will help many people in our community. Good job.
Hey man, thanks a lot for the guide!
And I dont want to be that guy, but can we have a mega mirror or something for the ROM? Downloading 1.7gb at 25 kb/s is not really fun

This is up to rom maintainers. I did host Los16 mirrors through afh but that was because rahual was only posting builds on the telegram group and it was really the only rom we had at that time.

I was wondering if somebody could point me to the process for installing a GSI. I searched and didn't find anything. Based upon some discussions in Telegram, it seems that some were installing a "base" rom (ie lineage) first.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
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.:
