If your post has a question mark in it, you most likely need to post your thread in the Q&A Section

granted, you did not use any question marks, but had you used correct punctuation, there would be.

Consider the parts of a rom you want to change. THEN look for answers or tutorials regarding those individual pieces. There is no one quide for creating a rom, but the tons of threads with tutorials for individual components that make up a rom will ultimately guide you to everything you could want to do.

i can't remember the exact name for it right now, but there was a thread about this a while back about starting to mess around with making roms. also there is a thread about unpacking and re-packing boot images which will probably some system understanding as well. I personally do not know how to go about making a rom from scratch, but i think they may have something about how to compile the source here or here. its worth a read anyways i guess.
people on here are dicks and hate to see someone wanting to learn something. like really hate it, with a passion.
being insulted from the guy that released a rom and didn't even know that it had to be signed (tested how)

Moved. Enough flaming.

It's like saying how do I build my computer from scratch. What do you really want? A how to guide that somehow already knows which type of ROM you want to cook, what you are planning to do with it, and teaches you how to use linux, java, and android all at the same time?

All wrong sectionry aside, you didn't find a thread or a guide because there isn't one.. It's something you'll kind of figure out when you're ready. It sounds like I'm being a total elitist d*ck, but I'm not. Knowing how to create a rom from scratch is a culmination of knowledge and research over a long time. If someone posted a step-by-step guide it still wouldn't tell you what you need to know.

thanks for the ACTUAL helpful comments guys i'll take a browse thru forums bit more for the stuff i wanna change\edit learn

This will be moved to the Q&A section I would assume. That is also where you will find all the how-tos you need.

Hi and welcome to xda!
First thing's first: Are you rooted yet? You will be limited in what you can do until you root.
Here is a step by step guide to rooting 2.1.
Here is the board with all of the Hero ROM's.
It may appear daunting at first, but it's fairly straight-forward and easy to do. Just follow the directions exactly. Also, I believe there is a one-click root app around here somewhere called Androot, I believe, but I'm not sure how well it works, as I didn't use it to root. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Get the phone and slowly you will get familiar to it.
I hope ur talking about the rooted apps here,that would be no problem once u get easy with the handset.
Piracy is not a good thing..developers put in a lot of time and effort in their work,respect it and pay for it.

Rooting n modding is not for Cr****. Rooting is to just get extra privilege on note, for making it more customise your device.
and note, such things(Cra**/Piracy) are banned over XDA

Ok, thanks guys.. thats what i mean, the rooted apps.. But do you guys suggest to me that I should have my phone rooted, once i got my phone? Or is it just ok to leave it as is? Thanks!

The phone's great as is. If you're a newb, like I was when I bought my Note (and probably still am), I'd recommend sticking with stock for a bit until you familiarize yourself with everything your phone can do.
I bought a Note when it released in the beginning of December and I still haven't rooted my phone. Although I'm a little conservative that way.
One thread you might really want to read is the Tips and Tricks thread.

Ok, thanks for the reply again! I guess I'll just have to get one first, explore it, read the forums. Then see what happens then. How about the ROMS?
