Useful Android ROM building video for beginners - Android

I watched these videos for a couple hours and I think it was a great way to get a nice start on learning how to build custom ROMs from a beginners standpoint.
Personally, watching videos helps me get over the learning curve a bit better than reading tutorials and guides. Hopefully this helps you guys out too. Seems to be current up to Gingerbread as well and the teacher is not that bad at explaining things and keeping it brief.

Thanks alot.

Thanks for de videos Usefulls, I hope

Thanks for interesting videos

Great vids - thanks.

Glad to see you guys found it useful. If you guys have any other videos, I would be interested in seeing them as well.

Watching right now, really usefull.
More!

Nice!
Really good video, its an great resource for starters on Android development.
Thanks for the tip!

thanks for the videos!

I guess you can do this with Cygwin, but it would take a long time to build and everything is so much harder to do.
One easy way is to install Ubuntu on a Virtual Machine (with VirtualBox).

xperia x10 is there any free software to unlock this

Thanks alot! But I'm not goot at english. humzzzzzzzzzz...

interesting video thanks alot

[Q] Where's a good place to start modding/developing ROMs?

I would like to start learning how to mod ROMs and eventually get into developing my own. After being a user for over a year I'd like to help a little myself eventually. I'm looking for a good place to start , kind of like an all in one tutorial if possible. I know a good amount of java (I took an AP computer science class at my school if that helps you get the idea of around where I'm at) and a little C. And I'm willing to learn more along the way as needed. I have a passion for doing this kind of stuff so hopefully it won't be too hard to learn. I'm willing to start anywhere and any guidance is much appreciated.
Check the developers thread a guide has been posted already

Your camera broke? Make a video, post it! Once you've perfected your craft you can make them like a mad man

A few punctuation marks would make this a whole lot more readable.

you don't need a file to root the photon.

Word,

sorry but thats to much work =]]
Sorry, Im with OP on this one. I tried to root my photon 2 weeks ago and it was a mess (sorry BBKing).
1. In video, I could not see actual links and had to go find them.
2. Some links were no longer valid.
3. Had to get Shabby and DeedScreen to bail me out.
I have rooted 200+ windows phones, these videos were a mess IMO!
Wow!! I thought it was qbking.........lol
Anyway, yes his videos may be dated but they help alot of people. I just watched the video first then went for the files. Yeah, I had to look for a couple, but it wasn't hard to find them. Then I watched a second time as I did it, just pause when needed and it's easy (was for me anyway).

His videos helped me out a lot when i got my moPho. As it was my first ever smartphone ever. now im unlocked running alien with darkfire theme with overclocked kernal and I love it. Just pause when you need to and google the files you need and usually you will find what you need.
Love his videos and he updates frequently to stay with the latest stuff pm him and ask him to make new how to root video sure he would. He helped me a lot with his videos

Uhm, i might start doing youtube vids. depends on if i can get ahold of a video camera.

Just starting android development...thought I would share these.

Hey guys, I've been using android for about 2 months now (flashing ROM's helping with testing etc.) but now I want to contribute to the community. So i'm starting off by perhaps making a few simple apps then ROM's.
I have experience with some programming but nothing in-depth. I worked with python, perl and java already, got a few books on the subject and I found a few videos, which is the point of this post, I just thought I would share it with anyone else who is thinking about developing for our Ace.
Here they are:

Part 2

Since I don't know much about it, are these videos a good guideline? Or can you Dev's point me in the right direction, I would love to be apart of the community.

Btw there is a typo on the last line ---do u want to be " A part " or "Apart" from the community
You know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB

Damn it...looks like I got a distinction in English for nothing loool
Should I just follow the vids and the books, or should I just jump in and start experimenting?
Download Eclipse, and the Android sdk plugin, and get stuck right into app writing with loads of tutorials and github code out there.

Will do...but first I have to get back onto Ubuntu been on winblows to much
Nah, just crack on with it on Winblows man.

[Q] Is it possible for a total beginner to develop this?

Hi guys,
(you can skip the blablabla to the fat letters )
it's been a while i'm registered and totally stunned of the work which the devs do @ this Forum. For years i think about the possibilities with coding stuff. But always thought it's to hard and take years.
But now with android i will give it a try. Because it would be awesome to write stuff by myself or solve problems with apps cause i understand the code or log output.
The best thing i invented was a Premium account Alarm for Rapidshare. It was just a tiny little script which checks for certain words/banner on the site and will popup the Firefox with an alarmfile i set. And i was proud that i managed that the process was in the background. Acessable through the taskbar... Easy as hell. You see i got no clue but understand a little bit of html. I can search the code of sites for certain stuff i want...No skill at all but reading...
My goal is it to archieve an app which can transform not tapatalk supportetd Forums in a better format. Because i couldn't find anything. And it's annoying for me...
Would it be possible? I don't care if it's not compatible to google play or anyone. I want this because i "need" it. And i guess it's fun for me to develop. If it becomes an high recomended app. Awesome but my goal is to get it to work and have fun.
For now i'm on the Hello World app...
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards,
Sam
First row is the Limit...
oh my god. This guy's such a noob
Well you got your foot in the door,but the HTML script on a web page is much different than linux code,this will take alot of researching and then alot more research and time.Im not a coder,but i am also learning and have been for a year now and i just barely scrapped the surface.Soo dont expect to develope an app by tomorrow.Expect alot of trial and error.
I guess it's possible but as mentioned above it takes time to learn to code from scratch. However there are a lot of good tutorials on the net which u can use to learn.

I applaud your goal and hope you can come up with something.
I have no idea what's involved.
Just wanted to mention, there is discussion of some ways to view sites in a more mobile-friendly manner (mostly GWT) here:

Good job, now just a few years and you're ready... Jokes aside, it seems to be very complicated to combine html and linux code so it might be a harsh experience for someone like you.

[Q] How hard is it to become a developer?

Hello!
I'm currently studying in the last high school year and I'm thinking in going for Informatics and Computing Engineering at the College so most likely I'll be connected to this kind of development work...
Despite knowing some basic things of HTML and CSS and programming little programs in C or C++ I am still noob and don't really have knowledge to call myself a programmer but I'm interested and "self prompted" to learn more and more about this world and I believe some Android would be good for me.
Well, I am thinking in trying to learn alone in my free time with the objective to be able to build a custom rom for myself or something like that. I also want to make some apps... well, some Android things not only for myself but also to share here and help the others like I've been helped since ever. But... well I am realistic and I believe it isn't that easy and I need to take the right way, that's why I'm asking here for some advice and information... how did you developers learn what you learned? was it from the internet and practice at home or did you take any course? how much time did you need to learn the basics and start your experiments?
Thanks in advance!
Well its not for everyone.. I mean its not that easy. Ive been trying to pull of something myself and didnt succeed yet. But im gonna try till it succeeds. Just dont give up. There are plenty of guides around. Im sure youll figure it out!
