This forum is not about porting OS's to devices, it is about porting apps, that you developed, to other OSs.
For example, you made an app thats a tetris game for android and you want to make it work on Windows Phone, this section is about that.
Hope you get your answers about OS porting elsewhere :good:
Please don't post here because this isn't the place for miui, Cyanogenmod, etc. Posts.

then it would make sense to have the thread properly titled as App Porting not OS.
Talk to an administrator then if you wish to change the name of this forum.
OS porting is located correctly under the app development forum, maybe for the English challenged people is confusing but if you enter app development you must know it's not about operative systems at all, unlike the rest of xda forums, which are exactly for OS porting and mods.

Go to the forum home page and click on android development. Look at the stickies. They will help you get started.

There are many tutorials within these forums that explain what I believe your are trying to do. Posting a question in this sub-forum is kind of rude. I would suggest doing lots of searching and reading. When you have a general idea of what you are doing, asking intelligent questions to a developer you like and learning from them.

Not rude just slightly inexperienced, but that's fine, at least this is relatively developement related. Alot better then some questions that get asked here.

Moved to Q&A.
Making a ROM and making an app are two totally different things. First you need to decide what you actually want to accomplish. Then read up as much as you can and ask more specific questions.

You are right about "better than some", but I have looked into developing and it is very intricate process. I would do more if I wasn't in school at night and with my very young son during the days. Just asking someone to outline the process in a forum seems crazy. How hard is it to research the subject before asking detailed questions?
Can Someone Help Me I'm Really Interested =D
Before you on ROM development, I'd suggest you learn to theme a bit to so you ease into ROM cooking better. There's a theming guide stickied to the top of the themes sub-forum I believe. Also, learning some C or C+ programing will also be helpful as well.

but cant you just use the android kitchen. you may not able to do some of the stuff seen in other roms, but isn't an start?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257297
I've wanted to create my own ROMs for a while since I had my old Evo but didn't get around to it. I know that the easiest and most common way for newbies is through the Android Kitchen but I've read that the kitchen is meant mostly for HTC phones and the initial list that I saw here on XDA (updated in Summer 2012) does not include our Galaxy SIII. It does include almost all of the other Galaxy models. I also read something about YAFFS having something to do with the kitchen too, that most high-end devices don't include this which is a reason why the program doesn't support our devices.
Anyway, I have read that there is a possibility that it was supported or there was a file that I could use for it. So I was wondering if this was a method through Android Kitchen or another way of creating a custom ROM.
Do some research on "Aroma Installer". Also, pm a developer of a rom that you find stable. Ask them if you can use their rom as a base. That is a great place to start. Even before you ask, just download a rom. You can load it on your device, modify it on your phone, and zip it up. Just do not post it for anyone else's use without asking the developer. If you don't want to use another developers work, start with stock as your base. I strongly recommend that you start there, gain some knowledge, do a ton of reading, and report back after. For the most part, developers are very friendly and willing to help. However, they don't want to teach you the basics or the lingo. I build my own roms, just for me. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you very much for the helpful post! I kind of figured it was just modifying existing ROMs. But I'll check out that Aroma Installer and see what I come up with.

I actually have an idea for you guys. If you want my help, I'm willing. Create an amazing stable rom, and create themes for the most popular NFL teams. Then, package it as the NFL lovers rom and include nfl apps and game watching tools. That's a big market.

I've seen these teams across various communities and scenes but I'm curious in what sorts of ways do each member in team contribute to the overall project? Is it like a construction site where you have a welder, crane operator, etc. where each person does a different job or is it something different?

well i look at it like this, Im the founder of Team Rejectz but this isn't a pyramid or some type of dictatorship, nor will you be judged for being new. we're more like family and all though some of us have our own projects we still look out for each other and teach each other what ever we learn or know. Its always good to know that if you ever need help with something, there's a teammate a text a way or call, to help you out and make sure your getting the right info and not some imitation developing.

I think their is a great need to have a sticky made as a directory for information regarding the how to's and don't do's of Rom building, development, and troubleshooting :silly:. It would be really nice to clean up the forums with guides on common errors and the like so we don't have so many open posts of "hey, its not working". :highfive:
A mix of chef central, android q/a, android general, and misc Android development have this pretty much covered!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I really don't think people, especially beginners, know that these things exist. I think if we had these sources all in one spot we may even have more well built roms for our phones. More like a directory of sorts than self made tutorials.

While I really appreciate the work put in by the developers for Zenfone 2, I don't see any ported roms from other flagship devices like any Note Rom, Miui Rom, Sony etc. ?
If any of the developers is listening, please port some roms from other devices, it will be a good change and new experience for our amazing Z2. Thanks !!!
Becausd they are not optimised for our Intel CPU, if u want a samsung, miui or sony skin just flash cm12 install a theme and apps from samsung, miui or sony and youre good to go

I wish I could, but my academics oriented masters course will not allow me the freedom to devote that much time, that's why hoping that somehow few developers will get through this barricade.
