http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-build-port-miui-rom-to-device-t3250984 I tried with this but I was getting to much rejects and I couldn't fix them all by my self. Most likely because I was trying to patch the stock 64 bit. But you have the CM, RaptorROM that are more vanilla like. If you are lucky you should be getting less rejects then me. :highfive:

If you need help with the rejects just ask. I'm sure I could spare some time to help out

That was really not all that great of an instruction on how to get started with rom building because for 1 unless you have a really super fast computer trying to do that in a VMWARE is going to take forever because the first compile and build takes hours upon hours I'm not kidding when I said you needed to download the entire CyanogenMod or AOSP source code and apparently from all the changes people have made its up over 13GB which is huge mind you the first build is going to give quite a few errors which you'll need to fix by going into your github and making changes to the specific file that needs changing and then repo sync or just change it on your local computer first then push it to github.. You did fork the device tree to your own github right? Then you have to download the device tree source to your local pc in order to even begin building anything. They also need to be in the correct spot by the way or the build is gonna throw an error that it can't find / or so and so doesn't exist.. By the way the 3 device tree files you're gonna need are "Device, Vendor and Kernel.."..

Yes, everything you said is correct. I was only giving him a starting point. I know that porting, in this case patching, is a lot more easier than building, if done properly. If he wants to build and to learn a lot of stuff I personally advice him to follow your advice.
But in the end it's up to him. At least now he has two starting points. :highfive:

That's true, 2 starting points is better than none.. I don't necessarily like "patching" others work because you never really know how they made it or if it has problems which is why I just start from scratch.

Yes starting from scratch was initially what i wanted but i looked around on XDA university for a week and that helped get me to learn about setting up Vm, installing android sdk through terminal ETC and repo init repo sync, downloading repositories and other source codes.....BUT my thing is wanting to learn how patch errors and need more on hands experience for setting up build environment
