^^has a lot of good information
help me! please
Yes, I searched the internet a lot on how to cook ROM's but I couldn't find crap... Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to get started on this?
Theres no real tutorial for it....its really you know how to work things through experience,
There are a lot of useful threads on xda, but you have to find them and piece them together.
LFS
What about compiling the information into a HowTo format similar to the first Linux From Scratch book?
Possibly the Gentoo ARM handbook may be of help as well.

Hi i've been using the x8 for 2 months now running on GingerDX v009.. I've learned many things from this community.. and i wanna learn more..
For starters.. How do i build a ROM? using ROM kitchen? if yes which one is compatible with our X8? Will i need extensive knowledge in linux or in programming?
With the ROM kitchen you don't actually build a ROM, you just give it some features (I've tried it). If you know anything about coding and stuff like that, I've been told that the android developers site is a good start. I'm a beginner myself. So far I've made only an icon pack apk LOL

I want to start too. Can you or any other give me an "How to start guide for NOOBS" for me? I'm really noob in this xD
Before you start developing, you should know how Android works. As I said before, you will find everything you need in the Android Developers site. And..c'mon! You can't start making ROMs when you haven't even made a simple app yet!
I want to start developing apps, and after that developing some modifications to existing apps and system files. When i know how to do that i can simply make a rom because i know how to compile roms on kitchen

Anybody knows any Dev Guide like the one in Android Developers, but in Portuguese?
It's better for me to understand. I can read and understand in English but is more dificult for me :S

Take a look at this.
I don't know if this is good, because I didn't read it all... but I think it may help you
http://www.slideshare.net/jorgecardoso/introduo-programao-para-android
(this link is in portuguese, so don't bother going there if you don't understand)
Online tutorials might help you... There are a lot of them out there... Choose the one which you feel is better... I'm also on the same boat as you..
I personally prefer "thenewbiston" channel.. There you can find tutorials for android application development as well as java(which is very important for app development)..
Then you can move onto cooking roms...
All the best....

Okay So Basically I Just Started Working With The Rom Kitchen Can Someone Give Me Some Pointers On How To Get A Specific Rom Booting or Anything Else I Need To Know ?
Man do yourself a favor a READ and search for awhile.... all you ever do is ask for handouts. Development is not easy. Its not just a matter of asking questions. You had 134 views of this page before I responded. That's 134 people that didn't wanna help you... if that doesn't say anything I dont know what will.

There is no specific guide to porting, developing, etc. As Matt said, read. And lots of it. I personally started by playing with aosp and CM source, but you currently cannot due to kernel.org being down, but you can go to my signature and read my thread on compiling aosp gingerbread on Ubuntu. It will help you understand how some things work. Try taking apart a ROM and learn the layout of the files and read up on what different folders and files are. The rest is really just trial and error. I started with no experience at all. Hell I still don't know any coding languages, but that's why I'm in college.

Unfortunately that guide won't help here - what he's looking for is a guide to making a device vendor tree when one isn't available.

The easiest way to start a device tree would be to follow this guide: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/porting-clockworkmod-recovery-to-a-new-device
Just remember this won't give you a full device tree. Another way would be to start with a device tree for a device similar to yours and change all the neccasary stuff to your device. By following that guide you could compare
Sorry if this isn't 100% accurate, I'm really tired

We have the same board as many phones like DHD neo V and others the msm7630...But for some strange and by me stupid reason all our roms ever our official ics rom uses the msm7x30_surf so even porting roms dosent work cause of the differend libs!!!so i can copy a same tree and edit it but what happent with the differend libs!!
guys, come on, im really really tired to search for one stupid answer or 1 tutorial
is there any way to compile a kernel, or modify it by any means in WINDOWS...and not on ubuntu or linux or mac or whatever.
please....please, if there is, and i havent found it ( it will be a miracle ) on this site, give me a link to it, or just give me a yes or no answer.
I wouldnt post this if i hadnt had enaugh searching.
Im more interesting in modifying one, not particulary to build one.

these people can help you i guess
@Mardon , @SpaceCaker
On windows you can use this http://www.modaco.com/topic/340710-tool-edit-bootimg/ which is not very useful
Or I know someone who use PuTTY to compile sources on windows, but I don't know how it works as I have a Mac to compile android, so you need to do some searches and see how it works

" Updated the program. You can't edit ramdisk on windows... you can only list his content because windows doesn't suport systemlinks.
Also added a linux version. Enjoy "
This is a post from that link.
all im looking for, in makeing a kernel work on ext part and not on internal memory.
Plus, i have kitchen...and thats what im working with...but still, i cant find a program to allow me to edit the zImage file, where, i guess ( from what i've been reading around here ) i need to edit those things for ext part.
In fact, who can help me, and edit a kernel for me ) i think that is my last resort, as i cant get, and probably wont, install ubuntu on my laptop, just for that
