I have searched and searched solutions for this. I have tried so many different things and yet nothing is working for me.
From what I can see, it's a common error. When I am trying to install the Development Tools in Eclipse, it doesn't work. I am now using Java EE - Eclipse. I have installed everything I could from these locations:
EPP Packages Repository - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/galileo
The Eclipse Project Updates - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5
I am at a loss as to what to try.
When I try to download and install Google App Engine Tools for Android from:
Google Update Site for Eclipse 3.5 - http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.5
I get an error:

I tried following your issue, but I can't. Let me ask do you mean the Android Development Tools (ADT)?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html#downloading
I use eclipse and works fine just putting in the url, clicking next. etc etc. Make sure you already have the SDK installed. Make things much easier, then you just point to the path of the SDK when you add in a new android project.

You need to upgrade eclipse. Google is already preparing the versions for the latest Ubuntu LTS. This is most likely why you get this error because you are using an older Eclipse version.
12.04 - eclipse-platform 3.7.2-1
You could also update your version:

I have exactly the same issue
It's not the first time i installed ADT, and until today, i never had any problem.
I just re-install my OS and i can't re-install ADT, and i really don't know why.
Moreover issue message is really not helpful and it does not make sense.
If someone can help us, I would really appreciate

I've had the same issue today, turns out you need this download on W7 64 bit. Works now, with 3.7.2 the ADT can't be installed.

This issue is fixed by right clicking on eclipse.exe and run as administrator, that way Eclipse has permission to make changes to system files.

hey everyone, I've been with android since release on the g1 and have followed it since. but now I'm tired of being just a user and want to learn how to develope roms. I would rather have some one teach me first hand, but links to some places that helped you would be great too. So again, Im looking for a dev who would want to teach me, if some money is wanted, that's fine. thanks for reading. reply here and/or PM me. I am very serious about learning, I dont just want little tips/tricks or pointers.
Edit: I have a bit of skill in C++ and Java, but nothing too significant. I lost interest in writing programs, same with apps, no interest, everything has been done over and over again.

Maybe, but for new users in building roms, it's easy if it is gathered in one place, instead of searching all over xda that sometimes you can get yourself lost

Some sort of a guide to developing roms. even porting. not an "all in one" guide. thats unrealistic and would most likely suck, seeing as its such a broad subject.
that site, is... i dont even know. not to insult you, but i found it to be useless. the single guide you have on there is for setting up the htc kitchen, which i figured out in 5 minutes on my own. I would suggest making a "Guides" section of that site, so it isnt JUST forums, and adding, well, GUIDES. you pointed me there to help me, but there was nothing on the forums even close to helping me.
What os are you running? Have you succesfully compiled the source yet either aosp or cm?
CyanogenMod's github is a great place to learn repo the source. Read the commits @ github.com/cyanogenmod all commits are commented to make reading changes easier.
Aosp is also on [email protected] github.com/android building aosp can be more tricky.
Cm is aosp with many custom packages included to see what is and isn't aosp [email protected] github.com/CyanogenMod/android
default.xml contains references to what packages are cyanogen and what is aosp
Either way you need to start by getting very familiar with
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogenmod
Look in the products folder at the .mk files
and how they are invoked by core/Makefile in
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build
Also pay attention to build/envsetup.sh

your last post was quite helpful. Barely anything at all.
best bet start by getting the source to compile... sounds simple but can be tricky
most importantly get to know ~/android/system/build
you can't produce a custom rom without understanding when and how everything is compiled

Android Kitchen will be your best bet. Very easy to follow. Read the whole post at least twice and you will be good to go. Follow all the links.

"Dont forget to hit the thanks button if i helped you"
I'm new to the Dev world myself... I've done a lot of reading and research and I've gotten to the point of building and modding Roms to contribute to the community here. I've only done rom's for the Eris, which isn't as complex as some of the other devices, but I'm willing to share my knowledge if you need it.
The basics you will need:
1. Linux (I've tried doing this in windows, not worth the hassle!), either ubuntu or linux mint work well (Mint is a windows "like" os, so it might be easier to start with that).
2. Android SDK Kit (You can google it)
3. APK Manager (If you need to decompile APK's to make changes, this tool makes things a lot easier!)
4. Android Kitchen (A must if you are porting and to keep your Rom's cleaned up!)
5. A working understanding of XML and some java code is extremely helpful!
6. Time and Commitment! Devving, by any standard, is a time consuming process! You can easily make a Rom, but keeping the masses happy requires updates to nightly sources and time to rebuild what you've started!
I've spent so much time updating, compiling, modding and theming that my family voices plenty of complaints! But, the reward of building something that works and seeing others benefit from your creation is well worth the effort! Balancing your time, if you have a family to consider, is key to succeeding with this!
If you'd like more help, send me a PM! I'll work with you as much as I can!
I setup the kitchen, as i previously said, but didnt find any use for it except maybe adding minor features to a completely stock rom. i have linux set up with the SDK. i just dont know where to go from there...even compiling from source

Sent you a PM back, bro.
Having Linux, SDK and the Kitchen setup gets you about 75% of the way there!
The basic steps to compiling from source run through the Terminal in Linux. You will need to pull in the CM repository (the link jbirdvegas posted will give the instructions to do that). Once the repository is setup, you will need to load the proprietary files for the device you're building for in order to sync the correct source. (repo sync -j16 will sync the source and build your folders for compiling). You will need to plug in your phone through USB and extract the proprietaries through ADB. Example, my build location in Linux is "android/system" in that folder there will be a device folder with folders for each device brand and build. My eris is listed in CM as desirec, so my drive folder location is "android/system/devices/htc/desirec". In order to pull my proprietary files, I would have to do the following:
1. In terminal; "cd android/system/devices/htc/desirec" (This puts me in the correct build folder)
2. su (puts terminal in root) - type in password
3. "./adb kill-server" (shuts down adb)
4. "./adb start-server" (starts adb)
5. "exit" (puts you back in standard terminal)
6. "./adb devices" (verify your device shows - if you get ????????, adb did not start right)
7. "./extract-files.sh" (this will extract the proprietary files from your device and place them in the device folder for building)
8. "cd"
9. "cd android/system" (puts you back in the CM build folder)
Once that's done, all you basically need to do after that is:
"source build/envsetup.sh" (Setup source build)
"lunch" (this will give you a list of builds - pick your device)
"make -j# bacon" (# is the number of processors your phone has +1)
The Repo Sync and Make commands will take time, but once you've finished the Make cycle, your Rom (if there were no errors) will be compiled, signed and ready to flash on your device. From there, you can use the kitchen to add "tweaks" to your rom (CM sources are usually pre-setup, but you can still add things like "data/app" access to your Rom).
Hopefully this takes you to the next step. PM me if you run into problems, I'll help you through it.
If you get abd shows your device as ??????????

jbirdvegas has it right on the adb correction if your device isn't found. I'll look for setting up the rules and post the link a little later.
Glacier doesn't have instructions yet, but there are CM builds for it. If you follow the evo instructions that will get you setup. Just replace supersonic with glacier to get your device established. There wasn't one for the Eris, either, and the EVO instructions are what I used.
Also, if you're building for GB and you're on a 32-bit system, it will tell you you cannot build it. There is a bypass; I'm using a 32-bit system and just removed the "end" statement in the make file. My builds work just fine, so bypassing the environment won't mess up your builds...
What is a good android emulator for windows xp?
Is there any way I can try out Sense 4.0 on my pc with an emulator?
Thanks!
The emulator that comes with the Android SDK is ok especially now that they allowed hardware acceleration.Abd as fir the sense thing you would have to load up a custom rom and there is a tutorial on how to do this just google for it.

The most realistic one is the Android sdk since it emulates ARM hardware which means it can get a bit laggy. The smoothest one is Bluestacks alpha but its running an x86 build of Android which makes it fast on x86 hardware but restricts apps. Looking forward to their beta that is supposed to have ARM compatibility and still be fast.
The android sdk I tried but I cant install .apk that are on my computer. Ill have to try installing a rom.
Bluestacks looks interesting. Is there a download link for the alpha?

Hello,
Yes, but the beta version coming soon, actually android 2.3.4 ( in the future ??? )
asks go(d)ogle or on XDA there's mod
Note : for XP, need SP3 and 1gb memory (min.)
Use HD-ApkHandler.exe in the install dir ( the two services "BlueStacks Log Rotator Service"(for log) and "BlueStacks Android Service" (for SDCard.fs) must be run).
Tricks to edit SDCard.fs > Stop services and use Winimage.exe, it work very fine

They pulled the alpha download since a beta is coming soon. Google the following file and you'll find 3rd party download links. Its about 120MB.

But I don't think they are too far away from the beta release, put your email in on their website to be a beta tester. Really hoping the beta is running ICS. I look forward to seeing how smooth they can get ARM emulation running. They want it to work well enough for games so the end product shouldn't be laggy. Part of the reason the alpha is fast is because its only virtualizing since its running an x86 build of Android.

Start by setting up a build machine. Linux base with Java Sdk6 (not sdk7). If you are running windows you can use a program galled wubi to set a dual boot on your Pc to have ubuntu run, or you can use vmware to set up a virtually Linux emulator over top windows.
Then it will be up to you on what source you want to build from. And just google "build cm7 from source kindle fire" and there will be all kinds of links with instructions from there

Actually, Eclipse and adb work on Windows just fine (although it might be a bit more difficult, like adding adb to PATH).

First of all, you need to setup Eclipse, Android SDK and ADT Plugin (try to run a "hello world" sample, to ensure that all is Ok). Windows or Linux... it doesn't mater, the result will be the same
Then, search for Android Development tutorials (there are many, just find them). If you have a specific doubt, try to search before post. Many of times the doubt is already solved at specialized sites, like stackoverflow

So i´ve taken the cm7-launcher out of a cm7-rom.
Now i want the latest version of this launcher. Looked in the cyanogenmod-repositories and found the launcher.
The problem is, that when i download the pack its in sourcecode and not compiled. Well thats not the real problem..
I just want to know, is there a way to build a APK from Github in Windows?

It is using some cynanogen mod resources which are not there in android repository so it won't compile more over u can't use a cynanogen launcher with any rom if you whish to do so you would have to mod the code so that it can run with any Android
