Build Rom From Dev Github

Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right place, but I have a question.. I want to build my own version of a rom from a dev github (purity rom). I read some guides but things aren't clear for me.. Can you point me to the right direction? What software do I need and so on.. I saw some people using kitchen, some using architekt, some using Linux and some Windows so a little help is needed.. What I want to do is download the rom from github, change some things like wallpapers, sounds and some apps and then rebuild, no crazy stuff.. Thanks in advance for your help!

[Completed] [Q] Help with finding information on lean rom building

Hello,
I'm a newbie here.
looking for information on how to build very lean ROM.
under "lean" i mean the following:
is it possible to build Android ROM which has only one app - caller ?
yes, i know it may sound strange but i'm looking into this option.
it would be also good if someone could point at some custom ROM project stripped of Dalvik completely
with some apps in native code (if such does exist...)
i have experience of building Android from source but investigating
this problem made me seeking for community help.
any help appreciated.
thanks for your time.
Hi there,
You must read some guides and tutorials for that. Starting from:
1. This guide about how to port different ROMs to your device.
2. This guide about how to port AOSP ROMs to your device.
3. This guide about how to port a ROM to your device.
4. This guide about how to create a new ROM for your device.
5. This guide for ROM development beginners.
6. This guide in xda university for building your own android rom.
7. This guide in xda university for porting an aosp rom from source.
There are also instructions on the cyanogen mod wiki site about it.
A good place to ask if you have questions about it or need help, is Chef Central - Android. Many devs are watching this forum and can help quickly.
Good luck
Thanks for your answer.
