can you explain much more? what do you want to do?
I know with the android kitchen you can port a rom from a phone to another..
or do you want to compile os from source?
I want to understand the android plataform. I would like to compile from source to learn how the devices drivers interact with the system and maybe can help to solve the camera problem. There are many devices getting out with android os, has to be a way to configure/build from source files the full device support.

You may post this in dev section so that devs can help u
If you're looking for help before even looking at logcat - then trying to help you is pointless. You need to read and learn a lot first. Seems like you didn't even read the 2nd post in the guide you've linked.

Look...My first thing is I need someone to teach me this...This tutorial is extremely simple and I don't think this will work... It says this tutorial is for armv6 to v7 and this Is v7 to armv7 and this is of 2012 and I am porting a 4.4.4 rom..Yes I will agree I didn't use a logcat.. But I don't even think this is gonna work out.
That's Why I am asking for help..Help me to learn...
You don't need someone to teach you this, because you won't find anyone that will want to do it. It takes A LOT of time to teach someone, time that nobody will invest. Thus - start by relying only on yourself. Read, read and read some more. And I'll write it again, if the first time it didn't go through: without looking at logcat nobody can help you, and you won't be able to help yourself. Now use some Google, read what logcat does, what causes bootloops, make 2+2 in your head, and do the rest. If you find the error - you might be able to fix it, if you don't know what I'm talking about and don't want to read - forget about porting or doing anything. And anyway, porting ROMs would probably be the last thing to do for anyone trying to get a grip on ROMs, because it's usually too complex for a beginner when the physical HW isn't very much alike.
And if you're writing armv6, v7 and arm7v as 3 different instruction sets - then I already think I've wasted 5 min on writing this message for nothing. Search and read about things before you showcase ignorance.

Help on a particular Kernel

Hi guys, I don't know if i'm in the right place.
I've been trying for almost a month . I want to compile a kernel for my Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (9305). I've just modified the stock kernel source adding some features, like chipset drivers. I want to use my TP Link TL-WN722N (that should have an Atheros chipset) with an OTG cable to link it with the smartphone. Because i want to run softwares like Reaver or Aircrack, but unfortunately my device doesn't support Monitor mode. I'm here because i'm getting errors on errors My question is : can someone build the kernel for me ? I know, it's a BIG request. I'm asking you while crying...i'm really tired! :crying:
If no one wanna do it, at least explain me how to go on :c
P.S: Sorry for any grammar mistake, i'm still learning English

Thanks in advance.
How about do some research before making a new thread. Even if you have only opened the page 1 of CM13 official thread you could've seen that there's announcement on top by maintainer which will lead you to his post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66834767&postcount=1367
Or you could've probably tried using search button in that thread to see such posts and find solution.

Halium and Ubuntu Touch porting for Samsung Tab S 10.5 LTE [chagalllte]

Before you read this, I apologize for the reason that I posted this in the general threads. I wasn't allowed by XDA to go onto the development threads, so I needed to post it here. Thank you for reading this, and let's continue.
I need help.
I am a young IT specialist (Well, not quite a specialist, but I know alot of computer things,) and I need help with porting Ubuntu Touch and Halium to the following devices:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE [chagalllte] (Which I own since 2014.)
For the past 3 days, I have been fighting with error in the terminal, fought one error, won the fight, and... the next command gives another error. After those days I became tired as hell. And then, I thought that I need a helper in my mission..? quest..? You think of it. So, please comment down below if you'd like to help me/contribute with this project. The Github link will be added later, since all source was deleted from my computer, but I am going to recover it. See you soon.
Github links.
Coming soon.
Edit 1: I apologize, I didn't add this into the thread:
"The halium I am building is based off LineageOS-7.1 branch."

For now, I built the halium system, boot, and other images successfully... But, now, I flashed them onto my tablet and it is getting the "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING." I have no idea how to fix this, so please leave the suggestions.

You need the SEANDROID marker at the end of boot.img. https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_samsung_exynos5420-common/+/226344
