**************All DONE*****************************

Now compiling and setting up files
after all the above
download all ur device related sources like device tree, kernel source, vendor files(if present)

Now where to keep those sources?
So, here i take cm13 and ASUS ZenFone 4 as example

The DEVICE TREE goes here:
cm13/device/asus/a400cg

Explaination:
asus is the company name u can know it from the .zip of the device tree u downloaded
*e.g.: android_device_asus_a400cg-master.zip
this says the directory and name of folders itself
device / asus / a400cg /

The Vendor Files Here:
cm13/vendor/asus/a400cg/

The Kernel Source (if not using prebuilt kernel) Here:
cm13/kernel/asus/a400cg/

***************SETTINGS FILES COMPLETE**************

Now Compiling:
open up terminal and cd to cm13 directory

Type :
. build/envsetup.sh or source build/envsetup.sh as ur choice
then
brunch a400cg

and finished wait for it to complete.
Holla u have compiled ROM from compressed source.
