[Q] How to create my own UI (like Sense, Myfavor...) ?

Hi,
I've a project with my brother, and I've to create a new UI, wich goes perfectly with our project. The native Android UI is a bit too small, even on a tablet. We want to make Android usable on a car, the tablet will be a bit far of our eyes, so we want to change all of the Android UI (make the icons biggers, change their locations, change all of the colors...)
I've some C, Ocaml, JAVA, arm and photoshop competences.
I downloaded Android kernel sources (following AOSP's website instructions), but I don'treally understand all of the folders it contain.... I don't know where to start, I didn't find image file...
Can you help me, saying at least where to start?
Thank by advance,
Kajaeshi, a young frenchie.

[Q] No Android Project option in Eclipse with ADT Plugin.

Hi there XDA! I'm an experienced programmer and android user. I'm following a guide for creating the android project in eclipse from the android developer site, and I've followed every step up to creating the project, and the ADT plugin has been correctly installed and configured. The problem: Under the android tab in the new project wizard there is no option for android project. There are various other android options like Android Activity, Android Application Project, Android Icon Set, etc. Does anybody know how I can enable the option for Android Project? I attached a picture of the problem. Thank you!

You say it is correctly installed and configured, but that does not seem like the case.
Try starting fresh by going to the eclipse site and downloading the latest version of eclipse(Juno) classic. Then head to the android developers site and install the adt plugin from that guide. Point it to your sdk install; and you should the option to create an Android Application Project under Android in the New Project wizzard.

Thanks, but I already have completely uninstalled and reinstalled eclipse and the plugin from the site. It is also pointing to my SDK folder correctly. I've followed all of the advice for every thread I found related to this issue, but nothing seems to help.
I have also tried manually downloading and installing the plugin, and I still had the same problem...
Okay, so the problem was that the tutorial was not up to date with the newest version of the plugin. Android Application Project is the equivilent of an Android Project. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11302175/no-android-project-option-in-eclipse-with-adt-plugin
Me too
Ifnumkey - you're not alone!
I had exactly the same problem, no 'Android Project'. Eclipse Juno coupled with the latest SDK/ADT has 'Android Application Project'. Hopefully the folks at StackOverFlow are right and they are one and the same thing. But its kind of unerving that the very first step isn't exactly as per the tutorial - I'm new to Android but not development and I kind of wonder if somewhere down the road I'l discover that there's some subtle but important difference between the two.
Google need to update their 'Creating an Android Project' tutorial or, in enterprise speak, modify the workflow so that they update the documentation BEFORE rolling out the changes!!
EDIT: Found this blog page which walks through the new screens in SDK Tools revision 20;
android-sdk-tools-revision-20-now.html (from android-er.blogspot.fr)

Resolve Problem
Hi. Because you copy eclipse to unpermitted place so it's unable to run ADT installation successfully. so you most copy it to your User Folder or other drives like D: then install ADT Plugin.

[Q] Interesting files that must be dumped

What are the interesting files that must be dumped on android to create a modified rom ?

Anroid related topics

Hi Guys,
I'm new to android and I have been asked to write a article based on any android feature. I have been a windows phone user and have no idea about android.
Can you please provide me some interesting topics (at least 10) based on any recent or interesting feature in Andorid OS? It can also be related to Android mobile. (Need something little technical not just too basics)

Flashing newly created Andorid AOSP Build on an Android Emulator?

Hi,
I am trying to make an Android Custom ROM for work purpose. I have been able to compile the AOSP Source files into a series of .img files, but I'm a little stumped on actually transferring my AOSP Build on a device. Currently, I am trying to test on an emulator within Android Studio.
Are there any useful guides out there that show clearly how to go abouts putting the image on the emulator to test it?
Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.
