[Q] How to build Paranoid Android from source

Does anyone have a recent or mako specific guide on how to build Paranoid Android builds, I'd like to cherry pick a few smaller features into the already powerful ROM.
Would following the OmniRom guide and basically replacing the Omni values with the correct Paranoid Android values work out? Or is there other specific stuff I need to do?
I've got Ubuntu 13.04 & currently building OmniRom whenever I see there's a bit of a decent update but other then that I'm pretty much a noob .

Basically just clone the PA source, add the mako specific stuff (kernel, device, and vendor from TheMuppets repo) and compile. If you have any other questions just ask in the thread a linked above.

Developing my own Rom.

Hello!
I'm a Nexus 4 user and I want to try and develop a rom for it.
The device still works good but without much XDA support as it used to be (new roms, updating roms, etc.), I would like to develop a new Rom for the Nexus 4.
I'm familiar with Android Developing but never tried to develop rom or anything like that.
Can someone give me direction on how to start?
How can I add things to the AOSP and edit existing apps or function?
Thanks in advance!

Building AOSP from source

Hey all!
Would anyone be able to help me with building from source?
I have set up the build environment and downloaded the source. I have built cm before but not sure if things are different for aosp and my new nexus!

Hey, all!

First you need to get learning linux terminal commands and git commands. Also you need to know how to edit .mk files to make your source code(e.g. OpenKirin) to make your rom build with ROM source (e.g. AOSP, AOKP, AOSIP, AOSPA, FlyMe, MIUI, RessurectionRemix, LOS, OMNI, etc.)
Most reccomended if this is first time when you build a rom to search tutorials on youtube or xda or other sites.
http://gojira.tokyo/?building_cyanogenmod_14_from_source -- I have started my developing with this tutorial. It's my favorite, but it's not for this device.
Consider taking your time building the rom (final task) (this depends on you computer hardware)
Also, for building "perfect rom", that is a completely different question: There is still no bugless rom, so either you're going to fix OpenKirin source code or Haky's bugs or start making your own source code from beggining. That requires some programming languages learn. Most important java and C++.
If you have more questions please ask me!

Noob question about compiling AOSP from source

Hi,
I want to learn more about Android kernel development so I'm trying to compile AOSP (Android 7) from source for my Nexus 7. I have prior experience doing Linux kernel development but the real hurdle for me is the Android build environment.
I have checked out android-7.1.2_r39 with the proprietary blobs for Nexus 7 and I've made it to the point where I need to choose a target.
However because I'm trying to compile Android 7, `full_grouper-userdebug` does not show up on the build target list when running `lunch`.
Is it enough to grab the /device/asus/grouper directory from a tree where it is included and add that to my AOSP tree or is there something else I need to do to compile Android 7 for this device?
