if it would be that easy, everybody would do it
what do you mean by "good with computers"? do you know how to write code (C/C++)? are you yet experienced with running linux? have you ever compiled a kernel before? do you want to make a source-(AOSP)-rom (then you can get the source here: http://source.android.com/ and here: http://opensource.samsung.com/) or do you want to just theme and customize a stock firmware?
i think there are already some tutorials around which will help you in the beginning. just google for them!
i haven't done custom rom development myself but i would really like to get some (clean) aosp goodness on this phone. i am experienced with linux (use it since 6 years as primary os) and i can code c/c++/asm. so if you are in fact serious and able to go all the way. i would appreciate to help!

I'm pretty able to develop with Eclipse, so android sdk. Linux quite good, i prefer to use windows, but i know linux is necessary. First of all i'd like to know how to customize GALAXY fw and then i'll study how to compile a kernel, no one during my life helps me, and it's difficult for me because i'm not good with english and all tutorials are in english!
I'll try to work on it! Thank you

Can someone explain me how to cook a Galaxy S Froyo ROM with AOSP as the base and samsung drivers?

Could someone please explain to me how to flash the Korean firmware onto the European phone? Really need the native "record call" feature

I saw some instructions posted here
http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/40130-100-stock-captivate-rom-aosp-source.html

It's not difficult if you're comfortable with linux, shell scripts, custom kernels, and cross compiling.
Basically that's pretty much all it needs, Android systems are very similiar to a running linux system.
Boot off a bootloader (usually closed sourced) into kernel and initrd, then init loads the drivers, system and configs, after which is pretty much to your taste and likings.
Source code of android, samsung kernel source, are available online, google is your friend.

[DEV] AOSP Gingerbread ROM thoughts - NOT A ROM THREAD

I've been pondering this for a while. This thread serves as a thinking ground until the official AOSP Gingerbread Sources are released.
As a HD2 Android community, once Gingerbread is up on it's git source, why doesn't one brave soul go ahead and download the source, and build it so it's completely stock (aka generic) with no mods, just directly from the source, and then release it as a "ROM Starter", meaning that devs that are wanting to sink their teeth into a working Gingerbread base can download that ROM, add their own sprinkle of seasoning (custom apps and the like) and bake it even more.
The person who baked the original ROM would be thanked and all that jazz. This would save a lot of time and effort having to download compilers, and all that stuff just to make a HD2 Gingerbread ROM.
In other words, make a ROM base that we can do our own spin-offs on it for example, you might see:
m-deejay NitrousBread
darkstone SpicyGingerBread
...etc.
Which are based on the generic ROM that the brave soul compiled. I'm sure they'll be famous as well
So yeah, that's my two cents. Your opinions?

Yes I agree. I was thinking we should have a base ROM just like in Nexus S, without any mods or tweaks and etc. A Plain vanilla stock Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM. Then from there devs are welcomed to make changes and etc.

[Q] Creating a custom ROM

Hello. I am interested in building my own ROM. I have some computer knowledge, but I want to know, what tools and files do I need for creating one. So maybe someone can guide me or point me to a tutorials. I basically just want to try some things.
Is there a way to brick my phone by using a custom ROM?
Also, what is android 2.3.5? Google's latest is Android 2.3.3 .

Android Latest stable release
Tablets: 3.2 (Honeycomb)
Phones: 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) / 25 July 2011; 38 days ago
Latest Android release is 2.3.5 for phones

good new, should be more like you.
Latest android for smartphones is 2.3.5.
Regarding advices to build a new rom, nothing better than to speak to those that already did and have the knowledge (stcokwell, DZO, FFranco, Knzo, etc)
Search the posts of each rom and speak with respective developers.
Good luck and I waiting for your rom to test it

I'm interested too, but it requires more knowledge about linux. Kernels and so on.
So i'm thinkin is better to build kernels, there is sources, there is websites with how to and so o.. rom is more complex.

I'm bringing this thread up now.
I am currently downloading CyanogenMod's source, because of what I've read android.git.kernel.org is down. My first idea was to do a proper scene port of the latest Android. But well, this has better documentation anyway. So, I haven't got the source yet to browse, but is there a way to make a general build and if I understand correctly, it creates me a system.img? How to make it flashable by recovery? And if it fails to start, can I still get to the recovery? And about kernel, this has to be modified too, right?
And for last, if anyone has a good Android source code browsing/modifying e-book/video/whatever, can I have it?
-e-
I found that CyanogenMod can automatically make a signed .zip and on normal Android AOSP I can make it with "make otapackage". Is that right?

Any good read?

[Q] Pertaining Adreno 2XX Binaries

Will this release really help our HD2's properly run HWA on ICS Roms? I'm asking because I'm not a developer and was hoping to get a more technical answer from someone who is more tech savy Plus I read on a post from texasice that they were not going to be of much help because they've been out for months :/
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23702261&postcount=2871

I hope they do help cos I would really like ICS running properly on the HD2, but for me it isn't suitable for daily use. However if these haven't helped at all yet (assuming the leak was legit) then I don't see what they could do

firstly, libs has latest version (build at 09mar 2012 )
secondly, libs - not all that is need. sdk - that powerful tool! now there is libs+sdk in public - so you could integrate lib into rom and... yes, it will take a time for rework source code, but this libs is not useful - it just need to rewrite quite a lot of android source.

[Q] which AOSP 5.0 ROM for building yourself?

I am NOT a developer!
I am a Systems Administrator, and I have built a 4.2 before using ubuntu 14.04, with a SGS2 i9100.
I have attempted in the past to ask for a device tree so I could build my own pure AOSP, and no one was able to help me.
SO, I now have my hands on a S4, and I want to put 5.0 on it.
I can create the build environment. either the windows version or the ubuntu version.
What I would like to know is which ROM would provide me a bit of instructions on how to use and build their ROM.
I'm looking for a ROM as close to AOSP as possible.
Preferably without any CyanogenMod builds, but I hightly doubt that is possible.
Seems everyone is using them for some reason.
I've been going to the ROM's section and I see no instructions on how to BUILD the rom.
Sure, I see their Github, but no info in what environment its been build in.
Can someone assist in helping find a ROM, so I can contribute to this community once I get the feel for it?
thank you!

You can try building cm to understand the basis, then move to aosp
