How to become an AOSP developer - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I have been a web developer for many years and have always been interested in developing custom roms. Could you guide me on the roadmap to become a custom roms developer?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I've been searching the forum but haven't found proper answers, if I'm duplicating I'm so sorry.

Hello and good afternoon, @ronniecalipsis
I guess I'm still allowed to say: Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.
However, prior to your next posting please read the guidances that are stuck on top of every forum like
Note: Questions go in Q&A Forum
If you are posting a Question Thread post it in the Q&A forum. Technical discussion of Android development and hacking. No noobs, please. Device-specific releases should go under the appropriate device forum...
forum.xda-developers.com
and the others. I've moved your thread to General Q&A.
Thanks for your cooperation!

Thanks @Oswald Boelcke and sorry!

To clarify things:
AOSP is the stock Android ( not to confuse with stock ROM what means a OEM version of stock Android - adopted to the devices OEMs produce and sell ) developed under the leadership of Google - to be used on Nexus & Pixel devices only. A Custom ROM is - as the name it implies - an Android version developed by entusiasts who think they can it do better than Google or OEMs.
Hint:
If it's your intention to create a Custom ROM by your own then look inside here:
[GUIDE][How-to]Create your Own Custom ROM an easy way
Holla Guys this i am back with a Guide which you would have seen many times on XDA but still were you able to follow them??:p And answer is "NO"as they all focus on Android Kitchen which is a big tool but not a wall for blind!! Mark it you will...

You said right: you're a newbie (like me).. So you can't post in the developers section
When you post more of 10 comments, then you can post in that section.

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It's a full touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
TWRP built for the moto g71 5G. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to boot this recovery.
Boot through twrp or fastboot
To temporarily boot this recovery:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp*.img
To permanently flash it:
To make twrp replace stock recovery temporarily boot twrp and navigate
to advanced menu and select Flash Current TWRP option.

If you need a newer Android than 7.1, consider the LOS16 without GAPPS.
The real answer is, alas, it's 2023, don't expect a miracle from this device on newer versions of Android.

Well i'm looking for a faster rom, but thanks for the suggestion
Faster nobody benchmarks as so many outside factors .
Nandroid backup and you can try every rom .
As you will see most roms are no longer updated and are now well out of date on this very old tablet .
