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.

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

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.

First of all you need notepad++ to enter the code.
There are a lot of links to update scripts in XDA though none in this forum. I found dozens and have links if you want them just PM me. They are very easy to make and pretty damn easy to flash as well. I found a updater script handler that I use to compile, sign, and zip the file. I don't have it here but when I get home I can send you the link for it. Now I'm not taking credit for it so I'm going to send you the links not the files for anything. I'm sure you will do just fine. Just make sure you do a backup before you flash anything so you can get your phone back to where you started and be patient and just take your time. Good Luck!
