I will be trying to help you if possible, not only LG L3/L5/L7 but also on this thread you can ask, POLITELY for a stable or smooth kernel/rom. A part of my motivation for starting this thread is for helping people but also for trying to get the Recognised Contributor :angel: . But the main goal of this thread is for HELPING.
Anyways, let's make the form that i want from you:
-device (L3/L5/L7/whatever)
-ROM name, Android version
-kernel name/version (if downladed from here)
-the issue that you are facing, with as many details as possible and some description of the steps you did and where you got stuck.

Hey Developers,
I have already built a CM ROM from source for my LG Optimus L7, which wasn't that hard. But now I want to build a ROM from Android Source (AOSP). So my question is: Can somebody give me a guide for the L7 or some advice for building an AOSP ROM?
Thanks:good:

From AOSP you will have to take almost exactly the same steps. Basically there is nothing different to building CM, AOSP, PAC, CarbonRom, etc., but the source of compilation is different and also the thing you will have to do is add the device specific libraries etc. into the AOSP rom sources on your PC and then compile.

Hello Everyone!!!!
As the title states I am trying to build my first ROM from source, I am wanting to build a PAC-Man variant for our phone (AT&T S4).
I am currently installing Xubuntu 13.04 x64 on a old Pentium D (2.4 ghz with 2GB of RAM) and I am reading over this post while it is installing.
I am also reading over this thread as well. I assume I can try to build a CM 10.1 build first, LOKI it, then get it working then add the stuff in for PAC-man after that, but I am not sure. I was wanting to know if any ROM developers can point me in the right direction for learning how to compile ROM's from source. I know the typical rule here is to search, search, and if lost SEARCH MORE but I feel that I am missing knowledge on what to search for in the first place.
I hope to spend the next few days on this little project and if all works well I will attempt to maintain a Dev thread with updates every few days to a week.
Thanks for any information you all can provide and I appreciate any guidance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798056 this forum gave me a lot on insight when I started building my own rom. Hope it helps, best of luck to you!
I figured out how to install the SDK, and start building things, Its currently building the release right now, lets hope it doesn't blow up
EDIT: Would anyone be willing to try it if I feel its good enough to test?

I'll try it out! I was going to build it, but I don't have enough hard drive space with my BeanStalk repo set up
Hey there,
INTRO:
I'm a relatively new member to XDA and the Android Community as well. The Moto G (2014) is my first Android phone since ever. I was using iPhones (4,4S,5,5S), iPads and Mac and have Jailbroken and Developed Tweaks, Apps etc for iOS.
Now that I got my hands on this amazing device, I would love to contribute to the Community by developing and porting ROMs for the Moto G 2014.
WHAT? WHY?:
So if it isnt too much trouble could someone post a device-specific instructions, checklist and downloads to setup a development environment for Moto G (2014). I'm a pretty fast learner so any crude form of instructions would suffice. With the right heading and instructions I'm sure that I can contribute to this community.
PAST CONTRIBUTIONS:
If you're curious about what I've preciously done, just Google "Krishna Sagar iPhone" and you'll see. I've developed apps, Jailbreak tweaks and I've even been mentioned and credited by CNET.com for discovering the first solid evidence about 4G in the iPhone 5. (Before it was announced or released. Yea!! )
So any help at all is appreciated! You know.. Help Me to Help You!
Regards
Krishna Sagar

PS: I've searched XDA and found some tutorials but I'm looking for some device specific instructions and downloads such as Device Tree, Kernal, ROM sources etc.. and crude up-to-date instructions on how to setup a Build-Environment. Thanks
Reserved by OP:
Once I get a working set of instruction and successfully setup my Dev Environment, I will post concise step-by-step instructions on how I set it up so that others can use it as a reference.
Okay....i just learned these things past month.
So tell me where you reached so that i can guide you.

I am at the very beginning... From the start would be great. Like i said.. I dont want a lengthy tutorial.. I'll find the instructions myself
For eg: just say setup Android Kitchen instead of walking me through the installation setup.
I just need a crude checklist to begin. I've doing some searxhing of my own.. But like i said, i need a bit more devicr specific approach!
Device specific approach would start once you have downloaded the repo.
Till then.... Approach for all the devices would be same.
Que: You are talking about building the rom from source right??
Or you just want to modify the stock rom!?

Havent decided really.. Might start by porting ROMs initially.. then gradually work on my own ROM
Thanks btw for your help

And where can I download these device repos?
For Porting ROMs : Usually ports are done from working Cyanogen build or AOSP build, which we doesn't have yet. But, k2wl and shawn are main developers working towards that. Once we get those fully working then only you will be able to port another roms.
Regarding Device Repo: It's required to build rom from source, not for porting one.
repo is a "Source Code" file, which is approx 25-30 GB in size.
Hello all.
Like the title says, I am trying to compile my first kernel.
I really like the CM11 i9505 nightly kernel, but it would be amazing in my world if it also had voltage/overclock/and gov additions.
It is my understanding that if I compile the kernel myself adding these features would be easy as they mostly exist in a single file that I could copy from similar kernels.
I have been trying to build my first build environment, but it seems that I am failing in amazing ways by trying to follow the CM guides on the their wiki. :crying:
I have an i3 dell 6420 laptop with Ubuntu (installed and functional) that I am dedicating to this effort, but I seem to need spoon feeding on this first attempt.
Does any one have a good step by step guide that I could follow for building the CM11 kernel?
Failing that does anyone have the time to chat in a live state on a weekend or late evening to help build this?
Of course if someone has a CM11 nightly kernel with the added features, I wouldn't object to using that and not reinventing the wheel.
Wrong section,
Ask a forum moderator (any one) to move your thread to the developer only section(of this subfroum)[emoji6]

He could just read the kernel tutorials in the android or chef central sections
Can anyone please guide me entirely to build a CM ROM from sources like (Codeworkx Sir's CM)...
Things I have:
1) Ubuntu 64bit (installed as Dual Boot)
2) Unlocked and rooted Le 2 (X526)
3) Patience
I'm not a dev but I have seen a guide that is fairly detailed on how to build a cm ROM from source.

Don't know if this is what you were looking for. If not please ignore this post.

The a lot bro... but I've read the post before I actually wanted a guide which was followed by someone to make ROMs...
Okay people, i know things do not look very good for this device, and yeah, we all are frustrated with the fact that no one is building any good rom(except this Resurrection Remix(on http://forum.le.com/in)) for this device.
I am thinking of trying to build the LineageOS for this device.
I am new to building roms, I have not developed any rom before, so this will be my very first experience.
I would very much appreciate any help that any of you may offer regarding any thing.
Be it any tutorial/guide, source codes, testers, or any thing else you have in mind.
I would be downloading the sources today and will look around for tutorials for porting roms with source code that i already have (thanks to that resurrection remix ROM dev 19wisnia89(on http://forum.le.com/in)).
I would also be contacting other devs of other devices for any help regarding the porting process and stuff.
If you know these stuff and would not mind helping me out, it would be very nice.
Please quote me on the reply here or PM me with anything here
Note: I would be needing testers because i don't quite own the device for myself, it's my mother's and i can't risk tempering with it, but I still want it to have a dev support.
All the best for the success, I also tried to compile the kernel and the source code is working completely fine without any modification but I was confused about the process of building the android So I will always help you whenever needs my help. and if you can guide me to building guide then i will also love to try that.

I have gone through the porting guide on CM wiki(through archive.org) a couple of times and a few more places, I have not downloaded the source code of Lineage os, but I have source code of cm13, so i'll build it first,
