Building AOSP ICS rom for Galaxy S2

I've been trying to compile roms for a week now and the last few days I had succes with building CM9 from source and AOKP from source. Those are not that hard to build and it didn't take that long. To build these roms from source was a very good practice and helps me to go into further rom building.
But from the beginning my goal was to build a rom using the Google AOSP source. As I know that's not as easy as building something like CM9 but it is possible right? But it is possible as far as I know.
What I tried to do was to sync with the stock Android repo and synced the CM9 device tree and kernel etc but it didn't worked as I don't know what to edit and what I exactly need to build a working rom.
So what I want to know is: How do I build a working ROM from the stock Android ICS source? And what do I need to edit and to download (what sources etc)?
I don't need every step full described, but can anyone explain me all the steps what (files/repo's) I need and what files I need to edit to compile a full working ROM. Or isn't it that simple?
Last month some guy (stormtroopercs or something like that) said he will post a tutorial but I didn't see anything from him and the topic from that guy is dead.
Thank you very much for your help!
(My working space is fully setup so I don't need to know how to setup a building enviroment!)

Question about Different ROM bases.

So I want to install a custom rom but I am confused as to which I should use. I've read different roms and I've seen that they have different rom "bases" like cm 10.1, aokp, aosp, and PA(does it have a different rom base?). Just a question, what is the differences among them? Please help so I can decide which to flash.

Hmmm, good question, well most of the ROMs here are build off of official ROM source and thats what it means by base and the difference between them is almost everything from ui to features and stuff like that and to know which ROMs you like try flashing the the official ROMs like AOKP, CM, AOSP, and PA and then once you find the base you like then flash the other ROMs that are customized versions built from that ROM base

All of these ROMs are built from AOSP; that's Android Open Source Project. It's where Google officially releases the source code. All custom ROMs on this type of device will be built on AOSP. If a ROM says it has CM or AOKP base, that means they built it off the source code for that ROM (which is initially built off AOSP) and added their own tweaks or whatever.

Gonna make a running attempt miui

Ok I have never compiled any android os, with that said ive compiled all kinds of linux stuff including installed Gentoo. Is there any decent guides on compiling miui, any advice on what build would likely be the best to compile? Im assuming miui would be basically the same as compiling cm10 right?

Help Building a ROM for Mi4i

Hello Developers,
Xiaomi released mi4i kernel earlier this month. My Question are
1. Does AOKP is based on CM? because, I have tried CM based source, but I am getting too many errors.
2. Any one already working on AOKP for Mi4i?
3. Is there any latest tutorials for Building Custom ROM from Source.
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards,
