Use the search button! You will be amazed at the plethora of info that will pop up on XDA and the internet! This question should be in general also. You are not developing anything. This is just a general question!

STFU with telling people to STFU. Also no one needs to know what device you sent your post from.

Thank you! I've been wondering the same thing. I've searched XDA, but it turned out I was looking in the wrong places. God this site's changed since the Kaiser days.

No problem. Glad I could help Looking forward to your potential ROM.

It's not that simple.
To become developer you need learn a lot.
Guides and tutorials in google is thousands and thousands....
Building roms is last thing what to learn..1st options try make some simply stuff.
Etc make icons or root your phone without bricking it. And try understand how and what is going on in your phone.
How stuff works, how apps working etc..a lot reading and painless tryng and a lot sleepless nights and a lot energy drinks.
Cheers

[Q] How can i port an existing rom?

How can i port an existing rom?

That's a very broad question..what device was this originally from? what version/flavor of android is this? Etc.

Yeah Nicgraner is right. We need more info to help. Some phones port well to others with little difficulty. Others, not so much.
Google "dsixda rom kitchen"
What you learn may be helpful.

Well first thank you guys a lot for getting interested in helping me. i know a little bit in basics like rooting and flashing roms but i wanted to know more about how can i make my own rom or at least try to troubleshoot any cooked rom.

Get familiar with logcat, to begin with.
Get familiar with smali/baksmali, decompiling and recompiling Java apps, and Java code for Android in general.
It'll get you half way there.

Idea to make a poll

I do not know whether it exists or not
I just want to suggest to the moderators or developers as possible to make a poll by the chart or anything else
able to ROM, Kernel, Threads, etc.
so it helps us all see the ups and downs of something based on it and vote for the beginner to find out .. :fingers-crossed:
thank you

Wut?

yes yes yes

I don't understand?
What poll do you suggest?
Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app

Yeah, its a good idea.
Its a lot better than new users creating a new thread & asking the best ROMs available..
It serves as a good informal guide to using ROMs according to their personal requirements.
Hope the Mods do it !:fingers-crossed:

like I said chris..
poll for
ROM, thrad, member activities, and so on

Right!

It is a bad idea to compare ROMs as is impossible to judge which ROM is best as everyone has different preferences. You can only say which ROM has the most features, is the most lightweight, is the most beautiful etc.

it's like they are saying that xda dev make a sort of poll that will show which is best rom/kernel to prevent the asking of similar question maybe it would be a good idea

We have plenty of helpful threads and FAQ and still nobody reads them. I mean noobs.

It's like asking "Lets have sticky notes pasted everywhere around a school so students won't ask teachers any questions" while there's a mountain load of useful books and notes on the student's table

agreed! that sure is what they want to do
