Firstly, you are not porting anything. The dev ports the ROM, you just flash it. Secondly, please search before posting. Thirdly, watch this video for more info. Finally, if you don't understand that, read this guide.

You really can't expect help whenever you ask for it, and if I knew anything about devving I probably wouldn't help you after that. Anyway, most devs don't pay attention to the Q&A section, so you're not likely to get too much help.

As the title says, I want to cook HD2 ROM since on every ROM I tried something was missing for me, so the solution is: I will develop my own ROM and share it here on XDA if its going well.
But, I don't really know how to start, I'm not a noob but not a developer either.
All I need is to know where to cook ROMs (I have dsixda kitchen and used it b4, but only for MAGLDR to cLK ports and some minor things, tried to cook with it but with no success, the ROM didn't boot, kerenl problem I believe...), I need to know how to start from scratch: grab base from somewhere, add / change kernels, add Aroma instalation etc.
The rest, tweaking ROM for example, I would like to know how, but too soon for now...
So please masters, help me out! :angel:

Well there are guides for dsixda kitchen, you just have to use the HD2 source code for whatever ROM type you want to cook (ie CM9 AOKP CM7 MIUI SENSE etc)

[Q] HELP - Custom ROM Development for Defy

I have been learning about Custom ROM development recently and got the kitchen and other tools from both these threads:
@dsixda 's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
@neroyoung 's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661770
But since Defy is not originally supported by the kitchen, there are lot of confusions about the procedure. I tried and failed to boot the ROM that I developed. I was hoping if someone in our forum help me with this and provide me links to learn more of that. It will be a great tutorial for noobs like me who have this one amazing phone.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Getting into development and rom porting for the neo

Hey everyone,
I want to get into android development and I want to start with rom porting. It would be great if anyone could help me get started and answer a few of my questions:
Do I need anything special to start with?
Do I need a really beefy PC to do it?
What programs do I need?
Do I have to learn C++?
Is it safe to test my so called "ports"?
Do I need permision from the developer of the base rom I'm using?
Does the base have to be for the same device?
Thanks for your help and time!

You can port roms with different hardware , its safe, just make a backup because you will probably boot loop. if you port it and post it here then you will need the devs permission. The base has to be the same android version as the rom you want to port, and the base has to be for our phone.

I was going to try to port miui but now that you're doing it I might as well try to port something else. Any suggestions?

I can not tell because even I'm not good with porting, my best result with all roms try and bootanimation been blocked.
my opinion is that there is something missing in the guide, some guides say they modify the init file in boot.img for example.
What I realized is that the files that are to be created well for not having problems updater-script and build.prop.

Cooking your own custom ROM

Is there any tutorial out there which give step by step guide in building a custom rom based on stock firmware? It would help if the guide would be for xperia devices.
