I don't know anything about building roms, but you might want to look at this thread. It has a link to a "how to" for 2.1 roms and some comments about changes related to Froyo. It might give you a start hooking up with some of the folks over there: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/dev-r-d/2991-building-froyo-rom-source.html

well, welcome to xda
you are unfortunately not the first to ask that question and I fear you won't be the last either...
check one of the older threads on the subject, don't neglect to read the last post for educational reasons
analyze your needs, check rom threads first posts for descriptions/content/aim, compare both, try some roms and thus find >your< best rom on your own, only way there is
cheers

[Q] Looking for good ROM's and Themes

I am a noob to the ROM and theme scene and I am looking for some good ideas. I flashed my first ROM (ApeX) and like it so far but want to know if there is anything better out there to try. Thanks in advance.

What phone you got?
Wrong section sir, this is the Android Themes section..you'll get better answers on your respective phone's section

It's the wrong section but not a bad place to start. It does depend on the kind of phone you have though so it's a good idea to focus your request there. You might want to check DroidX Forums as they might be better able to advise you. I've heard really good reviews of Rubix. Good luck!

[Q] Where do i start?

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

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
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
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

(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....

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

Thats what many said but look where is the problem exacly......
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!!

Is anyone porting MIUI?

Hey all,
I really like this phone and really like Miui Roms, so is anyone working on porting it?
Last few days I have been searching and youtube-ing how to port MIUI rom but seems there is no simple way of doing this and not all the guides are detailed for noobs.
If anyone is working on it please let me know so I don't have to waste time or if anyone can guide me in the right direction.
thanks.
