Cyanogenmod / AOSP

ok so now we have root, and custom recovery, who has a build environment already active and wants to start porting?
Xiaomi Redmi Note2 has Helio X10, ans AOSP ported already...
Im setting up a linux VM as we speak, but I dont have much experience compiling ...
Anyone with helpful hints/pointers/suggestions?
