i need a little guidance to start making roms for the vibrant can someone pleas help me thanx
If you dont know any java.. i suggest starting by learning java. then getting android development for dummys. you must crawl before you can run a marathon.
Hello and first of all I am completely new at this so any help would be great. I plan on releasing a ROM if I can get the hang of this so please don't complain that I'm just a noob trying to do something he can't.
Second this is my first time in development for Android and I have been experimenting with the SDK but I was wanting to know some questions first.
One is that how to I get the x10 specific add-on for the SDK since Sony Ericsson is gone the page that used to have it is now gone. Second is there any special things to compile the rom?
Sorry for the very noob sounding questions but I am completely new, my main reason for this is a learning thing. I want to learn for college and other reasons and I decided to make my project developing for the x10.
Thanks for help in advance.
go to chef central...
over there u can find a lot of cheff...
or search for "APKTOOL" and "android kitchen"
tool for decompile and more
Thanks, I'm searching the internet furiously for documents and other information, my first goal is to simply compile a stock android rom and get it working once I figure that out I'll work on learning to how make custom roms.
hey guys, I have learnt how to use Kitchen and got a successful rom! It is just another build of the default SE rom but it means it works.
My only question here is now do I get the system from stock android and replace the SE ones with it? I don't want to start removing things in case it doesn't work.
i want to start rom developing and i am trying the aosp site but i am new to ubuntu and also i dont know what to do with the guide to start building a rm........Someone that can guide me through this all things ????
Can anyone tell me what a guy can do in android developement if he is not programmer ??
1.can he port apps or stock roms (if yes than how where to start )
2.can he make apps
what else can he do ?
You need basic programming knowledge to do all that

i only know gw basic programming but i know its not useful as android developement requires c++
Anything without programming ?
i am learning c++ but even if I learned where can I start to port
You can always follow tutorials .. it takes long time for u than those with programming knowledge... There is everthing in net what u need to know..... I learned web designing n photoshopping myself without any multimedia or programming knowlege( i'm in medical field)... i always follow specific tutorial for evertime i need to do something.. i had the opportunity to be an admin with full power of a forum which still i'm, and access to do all work for it where i did all work n never given any work for proffessionals..
So best way is actually start doing it rather than trying to learn n then do it... trial n error method is best way for those who dont have any knowledge or experience... Now i'm thinking of touching my hand in Android let me see

You have to dig into it... As google's tutorials say- You start with some .apk in the category of ur interest by modifying n learning to develope to ur ideas.... Dont try first of all to develope an app from scratch.. it meant for Those who have indepth knowledge....

A few simple tutorials should never steer you wrong.

Moving to Q&A
Hello,
I am new here, please forgive me, if this thread is in wrong section.
Moderators may move it to appropriate section.
I have a few doubts before I get into Android Development. (both in making apps, developing custom roms) I just want to know the Android inside out.
Here are my doubts :
# Does custom ROMs help in getting more RAM, or what's the best advantages (other than they give root level access)
# Are there any free tutorials (preferably video tutorials) for developing custom roms and learn android development?
# I have Galaxy S 5302, if I root it or say upgrade it to Android 4.0 or to Jelly Bean, would it affect the performance? If yes, then how?
# Why do sometimes, device bricks on rooting?
EDIT : I have experience with C/C++ programming, and currently learning JAVA.
I just installed the ADT but it's not showing any option to start Android Application Development.

no bro custom roms dont help in getting more ram but yu can use d sd card partition to use swap which acts as a kimda virtual memory
yes several video tutorials are available at YouTube bro
it dependa on the rom ul b installing...you may get new features and same side ul lose some stock apps
device gets brickd cz of either wrong rom installation or missing of some stock required files... bro
