Thanks for the link and I have already searched the forums but I don't want to develop an application and I've already downloaded the SDK. I found This but didn't really understand it. I was hoping someone might be kind enough to walk me through where to begin.
figure it out yourself, it's not teachable ..
Yeah ok...
Thanks for the help
boy i sure am glad that some people were born knowing everything. look markspark i'm in the same boat as you, trying to figure this stuff out but some people decide they would rather be rude, if i knew how to do it i would do my best to point you in the right direction but then again i'm not full of myself.
best of luck to you my friend and if i figure it out i'll make a post on how to build an android rom and then make some youtube videos or something, but like i said i'm not full of myself.

Ok so I've had my Sprint CDMA Hero since it first came out and rooted as soon as I could.
I've searched alot but want to make a Rom from ground up with my friend. We're going to try to make a Rom for both the G1 and The Hero (Through porting). I'm willing to learn as much as I need to, and have a spare computer for Development that has Linux on it.
If anyone wants to teach me I would be greatful
Can anyone help me if not the mods can close this...
Some things are sticky for a reason.
I think what cauli meant to say is:
You need to read Cyanogen's guide stickied in this forum. He is the main man regarding Android development and really knows his stuff.
If you still have questions regarding compiling your own rom, you're of course free to ask.
Just don't think the "chefs" will give you a quick tour on rom cooking, since it's pretty heavy stuff and takes alot of time and reading up to get to know the basics.
Good luck though.
Thank you for your help... Mods please close this thread
I would like to learn a little bit about the android OS and all its terminology. I've been rooting and playing w/ firmware for a while now and have no problem following instructions and what not, but I would also like to know why what is happening... is happening. Does that make sense? I hope so.
Perhaps you could point me in the direction of a good guide (pdf maybe ) or book. Maybe there are some good beginner threads here I just can't find.
Thanks!
yeah me too,im very..very..VERY interested to design my own moded rom.
Well you got me beat there my friend. I don't want to make a rom, I just want a greater understanding of how things work behind the scenes, just not too far behind.... if you know what I mean.
Good luck in your endeavours.
Any help here....
I think this thread is already exists..

there is a guide in the general section that covers this...why is it some folks want to start a guide this late in the game? the only reason i started mine back in august was alot of the links were broke and some of the information is dated in the stickies. i keep mine updated and everything is covered. if your looking for thanks, then refer folks to it and ill hit your thanks button.
wasnt tyin to start a guide or look for thanx...was just trying to help....some things are confuzing for some.
and thats why there is a guide in the general section with links and step by step instructions...if one thinks its confusing then they need to take a step back and do alot of reading before bricking there device. aside from that this thread is in the wrong section.
then i apologize. there is no doubt u guys r way smarter then myself. im not tryin to step on toes.

not stepping on any toes man...im glad your here to help. if you feel that you can come up with a guide that is better or less confusing then by all means go for it...i was just trying to clue you in that it has been covered already to save ya some time. im by no means a no it all and learning something new all the time...again feel free to critique my guide, if you think something could be worded different to be more clear, im all ears!
i didnt even know u had a thread man. ive just had this thing for couple months and have done a lot to it and have had some help from friends willing to take time to walk me through it and be there on the fly to answer ?s...was just tryin to do the same for someone else...thats all...cheers buddy.
You will find THE GUIDE in GENERAL section, under DROIDSTYLES name. It is VERY comprehensive and thorough ;D
Stay flashing my friend.

Hi,
I need to know how to find out where to fix errors that appeared in my logcat. For example: In ROM does not work sensor key "HOME". How do I find in the long text an error. And how do I fix an error. Please advise me...
Thanks for the replies...
Sorry for my bad English

No one can answer the question? No one know? This is Chef central android "Learn to develop", no? I really wanted to learn this.

You are too vague. You also fail to see that people have lives outside of sitting on a forum. How about to leave this thread alone, you go back and do some work and research yourself. Then come back and post everything you have tried and where you are stuck. Coming here and demanding support and putting down people who did spend the time to figure the system is a slap in the face. Like I said. Come back when you have done a little bit more research on your end.
