[Q] How to build my own ROM from Samsung source code

I want to build my own ROM for Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160S
I've downloaded Samsung open source for SHV-E160S and Android 4.1.2
After extracted Samsung open source zip file, I got 2 folders: Kernel and Platform, and 2 README text files: README_Kernel.txt and README_Platform.txt
I've followed README_Kernel.txt to compile the Kernel. What I need to do next?
Did you ever find the answer? I honestly would love to know.
Any update on the same...? I would like it too....
You need to visit source.android.com and follow the instructions there to get your Android working directory. After you have all that set up, you should be able to compile the kernel in that working directory and then package it all together.
what is your devices codename?

[Q] Compiling AOSP for Galaxy S3

Hi:
I am trying to compile the AOSP source code for a Verizon Galaxy S3 (d2vzw). What I am trying to achieve is a ROM that has the latest android (4.4.2 at this moment or if that is not possible the 4.3) with some of Samsung's apps like the calender and contacts. I was able to successfully download and build the AOSP based on the instruction that is found on (source {.} android {.} com {/} source {/} building-running {.} html) and I have downloaded the Samsung code from Samsung's open source (opensource {.} samsung {.} com {/} reception {/} receptionSub {.} do?method=search&searchValue=i535) web site. My thinking is, since Samsung is distributing the code as open source, there has to be a way able to compile it, otherwise, it would be useless. But I am not sure how I can combine the two together. I am not looking for a pre-build ROM because I want to learn more about ROM's and customizing them. Any pointer about what to do would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Sam

Long story:
Most of those linked by nikwen are deprecated and abandoned.
Currently Ubuntu for Devices supports Nexus 4, Nexus 7 2013 WiFi only and Nexus 10. Anything else is subpar on a testing level platform that most won't use as a daily driver. You could build an image yourself if there is a CyanogenMod 10.x for your device and you understand how to build an OS Image. By using github to pull from Ubuntu feeds, CyanogenMod feeds, libhybris, etc.; and you have a dedicated build environment that you can turn over to cranking out some nightlies for yourself...
Short story: No.

[Q] Kernel Source Code for GT-I8262

This is very primary and stupid question but I still need your helping hand.
I am trying on collecting volatile memory form Samsung Galaxy Duos - GT-I8262 running Android version 4.1.2 build version: JZO54K.I8262XXAMG2.
In this link I found kernel source codes for the device, but I am not clear on what to use. There are several source code zip files. For example: GT-I8262_SEA what does stands for?
I think version is build version, none of the match with mine. So using incompatible build version to make loadable kernal module of LiME: Will if destroy my device.
Please help

[Q] Help about CM 11 or 12 for Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105

Hi,
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105 (JB 4.2.2) with CWM and now i'm planning to install a ROM compatible with my phone which has Android version 4.4 or 5.0.
I stumbled upon the following articles here on XDA:
[ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]Cyanogenmod 11 - Pg. 178 | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums
[ROM][4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL][M12]Cyanogenmod 11.… | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 12.0 [20150207… | Samsung Galaxy S II Plus | XDA Forums
Can somebody tell me:
How is it's interface? Is it Stock Android interface or some other?
The installation method on the pages mentioned above say "Optionally install the Google Apps Addon". What is this Google Apps Addon?
If I install CM, which version would you prefer? CM11 with Android 4.4.2? CM11 with Android 4.4.4? CM12 with Android 5.0.2?
If I don't get the Stock Android interface, how do I get it on the ROMs provided on the above mentioned links? (if I install one of them)
Can I get back to the Stock ROM through Odin?
Are there any risks?
Please give me any information about this because I am new to rooting.
Once I have enough information, I will install CM and I will reply the results here.
