[Q] How do I compile launchers, removed bloatware, ect into a custom rom?

I have been searching for hours and hours trying to find it on my own but I can't. I'm trying to create a custom rom but without building it from the base up.
I want to take a stock rom and add modification ( launchers, themes, remove bloatware, ect) all those things. I just want to know how to add those thing with a stock rom.
If you could help me with that I would really appreciate. I have been helped by so many people I am deciding to give back to the community by creating a cool rom.
Could you help me out? Just how to compile all those files together? An example would also be very helpful
Thank you!
There You Go Bro

[Q] [HELP]porting other rom's systemui/framework-res to own rom

hey guys I really want to know this, is it possible to port other rom's(compatible with my phone) systemui&framework-res to the current rom I'm using?
There's a particular rom that I really like the theme(framework&syatemui). But that rom is so unstable I just can't afford to use it everytime. So i think that maybe I could just port that rom's theme to my phone? But I dont have any idea how to.
Please guys I really want to know this thing. I'll be grateful if someone could help me with this problem.
somebody?
Get a decent compare software (I recommend Beyond Compare) and merge res folders in the decompiled apps.
Porting the UI that way requires lots of time, but is possible.
If you want to port smali stuff, procedure will be harder, I cant tell you how this works tho, as I havent managed to do it myself.
