I have 2 questions here for the code below.
The first one is, how can I have an itemValue in selectItem for my selectOneRadio as a return value from a function? I know this is working for a normal itemValue, if I put just "0", it shows up on the next page, but any of the getCaseValueByIndex() returns nothing.
My second question is, instead of listing each selectItem one by one, can i dynamically create them? What I was thinking is creating a function called getCasesCount which would return the size of the cases array (in this case, its 6) and then run a for loop like so:
for (int i = 0; i < casesCount; i++) {
<f:selectItem itemValue="#{CustomBuild.getCaseValueByIndex(i)}" itemLabel="# {CustomBuild.getCaseKey(i)}"/>
}
So then what would happen is that would create the same code I have but dynamically so that If i added or removed items in my LinkedHashMap, the code would reflect those changes rather than crashing for an outofbounds or null pointer error.

You can create an object which holds your key and value pairs.
After that you can use a list of these objects in your bean and use the following code in the xhtmls:
<h:selectOneRadio value="#{CustomBuild.chosenCase}">
<f:selectItems value="#{CustomBuild.getCases}" var="case" itemValue="#{case.value}" itemLabel="#{case.key}" />
</h:selectOneRadio>
Note: if you use an object in selectItem's value, you will need a converter, and to set the proper value you will need a proper equals in your bean.
If you want to stick with the hashmap, here a possible solution for you:
<h:selectOneRadio value="#{CustomBuild.chosenCase}">
<f:selectItems value="#{CustomBuild.cases.keySet()}" var="key" itemValue="#{CustomBuild.getValueByKez(key)}" itemLabel="#{key}" />
</h:selectOneRadio>
