First of, hello all!
As I am about to start learning how to make a custom ROM I want to get all the useful information before I start. I intend to develop for Xperia E. So I am asking you guys to post xda threads that helped you, tools that you use, useful advices and information that you think is very important before entering such a big field.
Thanks in advance, that536

So, there are so many people making really good roms now. even i want to try now
So how do you start cooking roms? or start making themes?
What software is needed? Do you need eclipse? Do you just need a file manager and an unzip utility?
Has anyone created a tutorial on cooking a rom?

This belongs in Q&A not general, for future reference. I have reported this to the MODS, so they can move it.
if you're planning to flash jellybean then you need the boostrap from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19355021 , with that installed, go to dev section of the forum and d/l a custom rom and flash following steps in the op , remember always to make a backup of your current rom

Any links for some good n stable roms are appriciated.. Kindly help

So, you're not "lazy", just apprehensive. There's nothing wrong with that. However, what we do here on xda isn't to spend time explaining all the pros vs/ cons to all ROMs available, nor is it anyone's assertion as to what the "best" ROM may be -as this is all very subjective to the individual. There's a hefty ROM list of threads in the development section, so it's your responsibility to read over each one (that may strike you as interesting) and make your own assessment to which you may choose.
Also, each ROM thread by our dev team has explicitly detailed installation instructions, so there should be no reason as to why you would run into trouble -so long as you read, re-read, and fully understand what you're getting yourself into.
Also, there's a handy little help thread that I started for any and all questions, problems, etc. So, if you happen to run into anything, feel free to post there. Myself and a few others maintain that thread, so you should expect an answer without the need of posting a new thread each time you have a problem.
for example ，the famous rom ViperS...i want to carry it to S3. But it always end in top screen。So， who can post a topic to teach us.
Much thankful! :good:

First of all this needs to be moved into Q&A section. Moderators please do this.
And to answer you question. You don't transplant rom, you port it, that is how people say it here, and that is how you should ask, for others to understand . Now this so called porting is very hard and long process and is unique from phone to phone. You would need a lot of time and skills to do this. The skills can be learned but if you have the time and the will you could do that. Just contact somebody from Viper team, maybe they can help you with some guides.
there are illegal vipers kangs on some forums, soon there will be official Viper rom for our device

Well, it would be better if you ask the developer of the original rom first.
