Would love this tutorial. Hope you complete it soon.
Really looking forward for this!
Android is based on Linux(and kind of java also) so you would need Linux and java knowledge also, if you want to customize the ROM throughly.

Simple custom ROM, yes. But it is only MY IMO. You NEED Linux knowledge, you need some android knowledge, and you need to understand what are you doing to make really OUTSTANDING ROM.

Can you explain what linux knowledge you talking about ?
For example, in your v4, i saw remount tweak, and there was JOURNALISM removing for ext4 partition. But you noticed that it is only for /data /system? Our partitions are in yaffs2, so we don't have journal.
Knowledge comes with experimentation ... keep it up dude

also i have some issues with fastboot i did use the new version because it didnt want to run with the one in the zip but everything else works perfect
[ Advanced users (using DualbootPatcher) Only ]
As dualbootpatcher doesn't officially support for installing oreo , Pie roms in data slot .
But Everyone wants to install in data slot for keeping stock rom in primary slot.
So for fixing the issue i googled & found some thread about this but that aren't adaptable for our devices ( msm8916 which use QCDT image ).
To resolve this problem there is needed to fix the dtb file. So I've compiled it for fixing.
Please follow the procedure carefully.
1. Unpack an Oreo or Pie rom.
2. Unpack the boot.img using carliv-kitchen. ( Attached bellow )
3. Replace the boot.img-dt from unpacked boot.img. { Attached bellow ( Rename the given boot.img-dt___.img to boot.img-dt ) }
4. Repack boot.img.
5. Use output boot.img in the unpacked rom.
6. Delete assart line from updater-script from META-INF folder.
7. Patched the rom zip file with dualbootpatcher.
8. Then install.

I used the new file uploaded and i am facing a new problem that the storage size is 32 GB instead of 16 GB, is it the cause or the problem in the ROM, i use Pixel Experience ROM for SM-J510FN.
The boot.img you gave can't be added to another samsung device like an S8 I supposed ?

You don't extract ROM.zip and you don't extract "payload dumper"...
You use "Payload Dumper" to extract all ROM IMG files that are inside "payload.bin" that is inside ROM zip
