I have been modifying my Android phone quite a while now (5 years +). I am currently looking for tutorials/getting-started guide on custom ROMs.
So can I get a few tips and directions on how could I enter this field.
Thanks in advance!
I was also thinking the same thing from past 4 years.. but recently i found one search engine named Google where they are showing custom rom making guide-pages, tutorials and teaching some basic programming knowledge which are required to make one!
Sorry but you aren't a Developer.
Here's the first link from googling 'how to make a custom rom'.

As the title says, I'm looking for anyone who has the knowledge to help me in my attempt to port the CyanogenMod 3 way reboot menu to the D1 MIUI ROM.
There is a tutorial posted up at miui-dev.com: [PORT][MOD] Porting Evo 3 Way Reboot To Other Devices
But unfortunately, Bigrushdog's tutorial is riddled with incorrect line numbers and does a poor job of explaining what exactly needs to be edited for anyone that does not have a very high level of Android development knowledge. Also, the files posted on that thread have conflicting information from what his tutorial describes. And apparently, he won't, "Hold a noobs hand", as he himself has said in IRC when asked for help.
So I'm seeking a calm, patient and knowledgeable person to help me achieve a very complex mod.
I've posted this in this section since this mod can be preformed to any CM based ROM, I just happen to be asking for help to do so on the D1. If this is the wrong section for this, please fell free to move it to the correct section.
Thank you in advance to anyone who responds.
"How did you begin?"
A question that is in every Begginer mind like me...
it makes every one wonder very much like:
-How can I design my own custom rom?
-How can I start developing android apps?
So please every developer or an experienced android developer reply writing a way to start or begin something like this..
Thanks in advance for any help..
there are many guides on this forum that teach you how to start creating your own roms , especially for android. I believe most people start by taking a base rooted rom, and tweaking it with different mods to make it their own. In fact many of the "developers" here do just that. Take a base and mod it, or take someone elses base, like CM7 and start playing with it. Look around...
I suggest the same. Just take a base rom and extract it. Have a look at the source and try a few tweaks, add some apps to your rom, try to insert a new theme. Just play around a bit. You will face some "problems" which can be solved by using google. That is called learning I guess
App development: Start learning java and then download eclipse with android sdk and launch your first emulator.
And always have fun with android!

Hi,
I am new to android ROM development. I searched the forum but could not find anything specific to my requirements.
Basically I need help in the following two things.
1. To make my own custom ROM.
2. To modify the call screen of that custom ROM and tailor it to my own needs.
Additionally i want to know, what is the learning curve of this whole stuff and how much time it will take to complete the above mentioned tasks.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Kind Regards
*My Device is HTC Wildfire S, However initially i want to work and test on the android emulator that comes with the android SDK.
Maybe you could start off with the Android Kitchen by dsixda and a base rom. Break up the base rom and start exploring the structure, make small modifications etc.... This will force you to investigate, search on google, do some trial and error,.... you will learn much more this way....
Also search this forum, it contains a massive amount of info on rom development...
I'm not sure how you can use the emulator to test your rom...
Hello fellow readers,
I was just curious to know how to make a custom ROM tutorial on internet looks like there are not many guides available for beginners to know how to develop of ROMand the threads available on XDA are bit confusing and I don't know which one to follow and whether they will work for latest version of android.
This is request to all the developer and knowledgeable person on letting me know how should I start building ROM and provide a tutorial for making custom ROM valid in 2017
Hope all will help to add a new developer to XDA.
Hello i have been a long time user of XDA and been installing custom ROMs and mods on all devices i owned and even few devices of my friends. I was amazed how developers make amazing ROMs and kernels for us which work even better than stock almost all the time. I am a college student with a fair bit of programming and linux knowledge but never got around to android development (except making apps which i have done). Can anyone suggest how can I start developing or from where do I start (the little bits) ? I currently own poco x2 and mi A1. Or if there's a good guide to it can anyone link it ? If the developers of Poco x2/k 30 can help guide me to the path of developing it would be amazing.
Thank you in advance ?.
I am no expert on this subject (am ok at searches and found this), may be these are good steps to start:
1. XDA resource - https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-build-custom-roms-kernel-t3814251
2. Pray , so that more devs will join with you on custom dev for this device.
Edit: BTW, am already praying since we have been able to unlock bootloader.
check here: its already started
collab with others who are already onboard
