I think the correct answer here is that if you have to ask, you probably can't do it.
There's code for Android everywhere. The Android SDK is free and easily available for download. This forum is filled with people trading knowledge.
Given the pain in the butt of updating phones with broken ROMs, it's probably good that there's some "barriers to entry" the ROM cooking arena.
I haven't tried compiling a 2.1 ROM, but it shouldn't be to hard to make one if you do some Googling.

Learning how to compile a 2.1 ROM took me a couple days and so much Googling that I almost went blind...
Start here:
http://source.android.com
If you want to start out somewhere to add your own custom touch try this software i wrote for beginners, it will get you into wanting to do it for every rom you come accross and also make you want to progress and do more
Mod edit
wow.. the most recent post on the source android site is from 2008... is that site still maintained?
the android roadmap page is talking about cupcake, that's 2 releases ago!

Hey everybody,
I have the Droid 2 for a little while now and I'm interested in putting a custom ROM on it, which requires rooting lol... now that i've just stated all the obvious haha I wanna know if there is a one click method for linux users (my windows is too messed up to use and the driver doesn't install)
So ok the sum up of my question. Is there a one click method I can use for Linux (Ubuntu 10.04), if not can somebody point me in the direction of a noob friendly way to do it. I've never rooted a phone before but I have some experience with command lines and things of that nature.
Thanks for any help/advice,
-Jim
The answer to your question is Stickied. Easier 1-2-3 Root for Droid 2. Just follow directions for Mac and Linux.
Hey I am sorry if this question has been asked before.
How can I install apps which are not in windows marketplace?
Do I have to install some software to make this possible?
Are there any good guides on how to do it?
Please, help me - I really want the best out of my Samsung Omnia 7
I would be happy even if there are some links to guide me or instructions.
Thank you again Windows Phone Xda Community
apps
If you are looking to install homebrew you need to unlock you device. I would post links to threads but I haven't figured that out, check under development and hacking. You've got a lot of reading to do. If you are looking to install apps from other os's that have not been ported to wp7 you are sol.
try to use this tool
Hello,
After testing many CUSTUM ROM for my HTC HD7 I prefer finally create my own ROM WP7 from the original with some minor modifications for a stable and bug free. I'm doing well in IT but I'm newbie regarding the windows phone. So I am looking for a tutorial DESCRIBING step how to create my own ROM and incorporate my elements.
So far my searches have failed, is it that someone could show me the way please?
Thank you very much.
Look at these threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917594
Also Chef Central forums of WP7
Hmm...
Thank for response.
I saw it before but i think that it's for Windows mobile, not for Windows phone?
I am having much difficulty rooting my phone. My phone is a Docomo NEC Medias N-06C running Android 2.3.6.
So far I have tried Z4Root, Universal Androot and Gingerbreak. No luck.
I have no computer skills, so trying to use SupeOneClick or other computer programs have proven impossible for me. I have the drivers for the phone, but no idea how to install them in WIndows.
Can anyone recommend a good tool to use to download onto the phone and root from there?
Wow, a week and not a single reply. Either no one knows, or no one cares. Both makes this forum a huge disappointment. I thought this was the place to go for smart advice. I was wrong.
You have to develope it by your own, doesn't exist yet

No one here has yet created this for: your device, sadly when it comes to rooting it depends on if a developer owns the device your attempting to mod. In this case No there's no one here at Xda. Be sure to use Google thoroughly and search everything available for device you want to root. If there is nothing out there meaning no dev has ever developed anything for your specific device your next option is this " Search for a device that is similar in specs such as cpu/gpu, processor speeds, firmware versions. Now if you find devices that are similar.
"For example my device Sgh-T679 Samsung Galaxy Exhibit ⁴g has a similar device the Sgh-T679M Samsung GalaxyW they are very similar meaning devs used builds from the Sgh-T679M and ported them to the Sgh-T679 For Example: the sgh-T679 never had anything higher than Android 2.3.6 released in it. Using Sgh-T679M builds we've successfully ported over Android 4.0.4-4.1.*"
All the How To Guides are located on the web(actually if search here at Xda everything you'll need can be found here) If there are no mirror devices for the one you are using then I'm sorry if your not a developer then you may be S.O.L. Hope this has helped you and goodluck, I'm sure some where out there on the web there's someone out there who's already worked towards rooting your device. Find what you need look up the How To's you'll need to achieve what your looking for and read up If your computer literate then you may possibly be able to do it on your own. Also remember there are emulators and Android Sdk that you can use on your PC as a developing tool so you can test out the rom on your PC first. It basically I'd a program that runs your Android device in your computer so you call mod, test see what works and what doesn't work start over mod, reapply and have no risk of bricking your device in the mean time. I wish you luck and welcome to Xda.
I promise you I know computers can seems like trying to read a language you've never heard of before but here at Xda the great Developers have created flawless guides on How To's for everything involved with Android Open Source Project.
Edit: I reread your post and see you said your not very computer savy please just use the guides provided and or you will learn or meet someone along the way who will be more than happy to help you achieve what you ate trying to do goodluck friends wish you well
