Root How To Build A ROM?

[Mikenly]

Can someone tell me how to build a ROM? I think it would be really cool. I looked it up and do I have to be running on Linux instead of Windows? As of right now I'm on step 1 and I don't even know what step 1 is but if someone could help me out on what software to download and how to put a ROM together and whatnot that would be great

You will need to be running linux either natively or in a VM. Once you have linux installed this will give you an idea of what is needed. NOTE: the repo for curl in this tutorial is not correct for the optimus, we have to use either IHO, PG, BobZ, or Reppards repos.
