Good Day all,
I'm looking for a procedure, step by step or any sources of information explaining how to create a custom rom from an android source code (2.2, 2.3, future 4.0)
Many thanks

Hi,
I have (had) exactly the same problem. Can build a zImage, but what to do next??
Maybe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 can help you. I'm reading it now, and will try it in the next couple of days.
Anyway it is important to mention which phone+model you have, since there are differences.
greets,

Hi,
I am trying to build the Motorola Photon 4G kernel and maybe ROM from source code. Can anyone help me get started?
With the great help from this forum, this is what I have so far:
- unlocked bootloader
- ClockworkMod recovery installed
- root access
I found the source code was released here:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/photon4g.motorola/files/PHOTON-4G/4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6/
I come from Samsung so I have downloaded the CodeSourcery toolchain for arm 2009q3.
With the samsung phones we needed the initramfs from the original kernel. Does anyone know how I can extract this out for the photon?
Also the build procedure for the samsungs were:
1) make clean
2) config ***_config
3) make modules
4) make
Is this the same for the moto? What is the config name I should call (step 2)?
If anyone knows of a post that already explains this please refer me. If not, I promise to document what I learn here to share.
Thanks in advance for your help.
This info may help:

HI guys, after waiting for so long I finally decided that its time to do something for the Neo, as there are no custom kernels for our device I decided to take the matters in my hands. After doing some research and following some video guides i succeeded in :-
.Installing Ubuntu (VMWARE) v14.02
.Installing packages required for developing
.Setting up a toolchain
Now I am stuck at the last process as mentioned in the guide. I already created a zImage file, but i cant find the ANYKERNEL.zip required to flash the kernel. If someone knows any dev, or can help me with it, it will be appreciable.
Following I provide the link for the video and guide:-
The main video guide :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV4jhXWc7AE (also watched the 2nd part).
The guide from where i got the link for tool chain as the NDK from android.developers.com was .bin file and I was not able to figure out how to use it. :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVZrh7aBIw4
Please if any dev can help me please PM me
Regards. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT:- Mods if i have posted this in wrong section, please move this thread to the correct section as I have a very limited knowledge regarding post
man thanks for your efforts first of all.secondly if you are getting stuck somewhere then its best to contact a dev who has worked on exynos processor before.for example try contacting a dev who have made a kernel for note 3 exynos version they are our best chance...thanks again and i really want to help but i know nothing about kernels
HELLO XDA COMMUNITY ^^
I've just registered to the forum, hoping this is the right place to post a NOOB QUESTION
I'm struggling on building a Kernel from github,but more precisely it seems that i cant grasp some concept
I'm trying to build a MTK kernel from github source.
So i downloaded kernel-devicetree-vendor zip files.
I think i understand that i can build just the kernel and not the entire rom..so
QUESTION : DO I HAVE TO MERGE VENDOR-DEVICETREE-KERNEL ON SAME FOLDER AND BUILD?OR WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
im trying to build "android_kernel_jiayu_s3plus_n560a-n-7.1.2" on ubuntu 64 bit machine,
as i understand device tree and vendor are important configs related to specific device..but i cant find some info for build just the kernel without downloading all ROM/AOSP sources ..OR MAYBE I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS.:silly:
This is my first android kernel im trying to build,im able to compile kernel for my machine,but im studying my way to it,so maybe i miss some info from building linux kernel for desktop as well. I've read abount how to install kernel,unpack repack boot.img for MTK devices here on xda..but im stuck on compiling!
Im feeling that im missing something HUGE
Hope someone would explain to me just a bit or maybe pointing me to the right direction..
THANKS ALL AND THANKS XDA FORUM
