You can't build from source on windows, you need linux. There are guides all over. Good luck

Plz anyone help

You know codes.
Using a base is "porting" a ROM not building one.
There are a bunch here on porting, but in the end its a lot of trial and error. Reading logcats, an working from there.
Since the ported ROM wasn't built for your device, there's no specific directions on how to do it and have it work for every device out there.

(q)plz help

Anyone plz help.i m trying to create a jelly bean custom rom.plz tell me how to create jelly bean custom rom
i can tell yur not a developer, u can build from source provided by google or CyanogenMod etc... They all have guides how to build depending on ur device. the process requires a computer on a Linux system such as Ubuntu or others. The requirements are posted around google.

Gfive luminous e660 running on mt6575 gingerbread.i successfuly installed cwm recovery 5.5 on it.
well it may be possible, building from source that is. but i myself cant help, dont have a computer in hand, do u know if they have released kernel source? if so that can help with custom kernels, maybe leading to ics, even jellybean if its possible. But kernel source is highly preferred, since it can help the building process. also since this phone isnt a knows device here were i am at i cant help or troubleshoot.

[REQUEST] port twrp to smultron

I am a twrp fan and at the moment the only kernel I found including twrp is the lupus. But on my rom's OP lupus kernel is not recommended and the most compatible kernel is nAa 2.6.32. I have pm nAa asking him to build a version of his kernel with twrp but I didn't even got an answer. Then I asked for help on the official twrp site but didn't get answer, too. I have also tried to follow the instructions to build twrp with my own but I'm a completely noob on kernel and recovery developing. My last change was to find a way to decompile lupus and nAa kernels and replace the nAa 's cwm with the lupus' s twrp, but the folder structure wasn't the same. So I decided to ask, kindly for help. Are you a dev /advance user or just know a little about kernel compiling? Do you have a lot of free time? If yes, then try to help me by providing me a working recovery.img or give me a detailed, step to step and noob friendly guide to do it myself!
PS: I'm using smultron and I don't have Ubuntu or cygwin installed on my pc.

I know this guide. It is to complicated for me and also I dont have fast internet, so it will take ages to download the sources. Any way to edit an existing boot.img to make it work on my device?
