Hi guys!I want to become an android developer and I know about the AOSP project,but I have not found based of android versions.I want worker on ICS ROM for galaxy pocket(GT-S5300)or cyanogenmod 9,but on a "pure"ROM,without any modification,like nexus android version,for worked on it and optimize for any devices.
1)How I can optimized an android version like Nexus devices for a specific device?
2)Where I can download the necessary for a ROM or a ROM to be optimized?
Thanks
Simply start by downloading cori's source and aosp android of your choice, then edit & merge things from source to aosp then compile.

Hi, i have a ZTE Device v8200+ (Qualcomm msm8625, 512Mb Ram, 4",8mpx Main camera, 0.3 front camera android 4.0.4, Kernel version 3.0.21) (released in Venezuela)......
I wants to know if i can port a cyanogenmod rom or another rom (JB, KK) with my stock kernel (3.0.21)...Can i?
Hi Rvrjei,
Yes you can use a prebuilt stock kernel with some modifications to run CM on your device.
I've done a quick search on Github for your chipset and found quite a few hits, check it out!
Here are a few links to start building Cyanogenmod and setting up the device tree:

Hi all,
I've a question for you guys.
I've a SG3 (i9300), I'd like to know if using the cyanogen device tree for my device (located here) is possible to build AOSP source code.
if yes, then it looks like that would be possible to compile Lollipop AOSP for my device.. am I right ?
Thank you very much.
Cyanogen IS AOSP... Lol. Its AOSP with added features. If that's not an Android 5.0 lollipop kernel source, then it won't boot out of the box. Your best bet would be to get some Android 4.4 kernel source and do ramdisk edits and what not needed to get an Android 5.0 ROM booting. Alternatively, if your device is CM supported, I know they were talking about releasing CM12 soon, you could just hold out to see if your device is supported. Outside of CM, many custom ROMs (AOKP, Pacman, etc.) Take it upon themselves to release ROMs as well. Example: PACman had a 4.4 custom ROM out and in circulation, even before cyanogenmod, so u never know!

Hello, thanks for your answer.
I'd like to know this only for learning purpose, I'm not going to compile the AOSP
What I don't understand, is why adding the device tree to the lollipop AOSP is not sufficient to boot out of the box, can you please explain this in details ? Many thanks.
hi all,
Am new to Building Android from source.. Am compiling AOSP based Android M preview 2 rom for Google Nexus 5 device, but getting errors when compiling and it stops.. could anybody guide me anyposts which explains complete AOSP rom building for nexus 5... not custom rom
Thanks
Paranoid android is an awesome custom rom.......though many of its features are closed source still a great number of features are open sourced too.....it is also caf based,so our osprey will run smoothly.......will any dev come forward and make the rom for us?
I heard that custom ROM makers build ROMs on top of a stock ROM and modify it, but how does a custom ROM developer make a custom ROM for Android 6 on an android 4 device where only android 4 is available. At what level is there a difference between the Android versions? Is it at kernel level, Application level?
Suppose I wanted to make an Android 6 custom ROM for and android 4 device, what tools do I use?

Devs that build ROM use directly the Android source code, that every OEM use to build their own OSfor a specific phone.
They can build at any Android version because they don't use the original ROM from the phone, they use AOSP, then modify AOSP to add those sweet features.
The only thing that they use from the phone is its kernel, and OEM post the Kernel's source code on GitHub or another platform to let developers (like ROM devs) work with the phone more deeply.
So to answer your question, Android version are different because features are added and the code modified, every custom ROM for every phone is based on the same Android source code (AOSP). The difference between the phones is at the Kernel level.
