After my last write up or whatever I thought I'd ask if you guys want a proper guide on how to build ROMs for any device. If you want one let me know here and if there's enough that do I'll write one up. I couldn't find any proper guides at all on the net so..And I don't mean a guide on how to get a stock rom and give root permissions. I mean a proper custom rom

That sounds like a fantastic idea! I'd be in for that.

Does that mean you are taking requests for particular devices? cough** Huawei IDEOS X5 U8800 **cough.

I'd be keen to give it a go if I knew how. Especially if it means getting 4.0/ICS on my X5.

Thanks in advance.

good for you Cdt after the last response no one would blame you for dumping us. Maybe to be on the safe side you should call it "Information "

I think a guide like this wouldn't attract as much "fire" as the other other, simply because it has a well defined objective.

I thought the other discussion had ended by now with moving the topic to the correct sub forum and changing the subject to something closer to what the post is.

Exactly. I don't think I'd ever want to make my own myself but I'd love to read about about and understand the process.

I hope that my above comment wasn't taken in the wrong context. It was meant in tongue and cheek.
Although, I suspect that jeffnz's comment may have been in reference to another thread of which I am not aware of. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

In any case, I would just like to reiterate my thanks again to CdTDroiD for this awesome offer.
I am really looking forward to getting my hands dirty cooking up some ROMs. :-)

hahaha no worries the process is fairly much the same regardless of the device depending on how you want to extract the base but i will explain. I wont get into XML editing and .Smali editing because thats a whole other ball park lol, what the guide will do is show you how to cook a rom like most do on XDA the difference between that and a recognized developer is the java code writing etc.. :) most devs on xda are more like chefs than devs which is fine also because you get variety but some are just crap.
