I'm on a phone now but you can get find the "How to build an android app" 4 part series on XDA. Do a search and it should turn up.

Are you familiar with Java programming? You'll need Java development kit installed on your PC. I'm not sure if Eclipse IDE runs well on a window machine, but if you're familiar with Linux you can run Eclipse IDE on Ubuntu. You also will need Android SDK. This lets you write raw code and helps you get it working in the Android environment. There's more stuff, but that can be found at the thread referenced above or by Google'ing!

I am only familiar with some of the things mentioned from researching but I wasn't sure what was going to lead me to the right avenue, steady now I know what to download and focus more attention on now it's time to stick my head in a book as well as this forum any other information would be awesome thanks

Google, along with XDA will be your best resources. XDA probably more so, because you ask for help and members will do their best to answer you, as opposed to just reading links online that may be written in "Greek" as far as being understandable and easy to digest, with no real availability to get quick, useful, insightful info with.

Also, I was at Barnes & Noble (not sure where you're from) bookstore and there's a section just for Android software development there. Also wouldn't hurt to look into the "Android Cookbook" as a resource literature. If you don't have access to a large bookstore such as B&N, the Android Cookbook website is here:

Absolutely! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 as well as Win7 on my laptop. Ubuntu is free to download:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download
Also download the Wubi package installer:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...p528Bg&usg=AFQjCNFFmxvY4HkumfqYoA0Nv24RfRPrrA
After downloading both, run the Wubi installer and it will load Ubuntu on your PC. You'll get the option upon restart as to which OS to boot -either Ubuntu or Windows.

Oh that is just amazing! Once I get my replacement A/C adapter for my g73 laptop ima get cracking, in your opinion what do you think is easier to work on, custom roms/kernels or apps?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Depends on the experience with the programs needed to do each, I suppose. For starting out you might stick with building .apks or work some theming on an existing rom build, just to get familiar with things.

I'm not new to android but I am new to developing. I have no experience at all. I have been reading different websites on a good way to start and each are very different. My goal is to be able to develop aosp roms. Apps is my secondary goal. I want to be able to develop/code from the source. Kitchens are not my preference. I'm hoping on a long shot for a Rom developer to teach me the ropes. From beginning to end sort of thing. We are a community here, so I'm hoping we can pass on knowledge to others who are willing (like me). Anybody willing to take me under their wings?

I know little to nothing about compiling AOSP, but I do know you need Linux (Ubuntu) and the Android source code. However, rather than branching out yet again, why don't you consider contributing to the cyanogen mod project instead? It's already rather refined but always accepts creative new ideas.
If you need help with app development, give me a pm. I do some myself at www.gundersoft.com

There's actually a phone made by Fujitsu that's similar in that it can be booted into the full desktop windows 7 32 bit by the switch of a button. The downside I see to it is that when you are running it the phones radio is turned off so you can't receive calls or texts also the phone UI is some proprietary Fujitsu software. Needless to say it looks pretty lame compared to Android but nevertheless it's still pretty awesome looking. Here's a few links if you guy's wanna check it out.

Would like to point out while Ubuntu are working on it, there are already a range of projects to get it running on your device (see my sig) my project is on of the more active projects, really the only big thing missing that they have working is native graphics (right now my project uses a vnc server within ubuntu to view gui within android).
Mine works on a whole host of devices (not just dual core like ubuntu project) and you can also install debian or backtrack if you wish.
We are in the process of adding more options to the app and making it far more user friendly (Although it is already pretty fool proof)
I love ubuntu on my pc. I would love it on my phone.

Hi guys i work in IT security my job is mainly pentesting for those of you who do not no what that is its basically an ethical hacker and i am interested as to weather there are meny apps or framework to do this on android if you no of any please list them below thanks for your help everyone

Are you trying to pentest Android or use Android to pentest your customers?
You can run Backtrack on Android-powered devices but you may encounter problems with e.g. promiscous mode
Pentesting Android itself is a different target alltogether but tools catered for Network Man-in-the-middle, Java attacks or Linux attacks (Android being based on Linux and GNU tools) should help you out
I was thinking more of using Android as a pentesting platform as it would make my job a lot quicker if I could run certain attacks from my phone

dSploit is a good framework so far...there's also zANTI which isn't free and basically has less options. For ARP-Spoofing there's droidsheep and SSLstrip as a standalone app. if you're rooted you can even change your mac adress via Mac Adress Ghost,
#edit: As d4fseeker said promiscous mode is almost non existant for the most wifi chipsets at this point so you won't get very far in regards to WiFi "pentesting"
Thanks for your help mate I have been testing dsploit which is very interesting and as for Zanti I think it's a bit of a con the way they make you pay for creds and I'm not that interested in arp spoofing or wifi cracking there a bit a mature and you don't get many requests for that sort of thing in my line of work lol
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
depending on what your line of work is you might want to take a a look at the mobile version of wireshark/ettercap for wireshark the app is simply called shark and to crudly read the pcap files there's shark reader. other than that i would prefer a netbook with the linux distribution of your choice over a smartphone any time, yeah it's nice that you are able to do some network mapping and a few kind of attacks etc. with your android but not much more than that not bad for an initial assessment if you want deeper analysis use your notebook/netbook

Well my job is more vulnerability assessment and then showing people how these can be exploited and explaining what damage can be done through this and then suddgesting ways of patching these systems up I was just thinking the way smart phones are getting so powerful it may be possible to have some of these programs on a phone although dsploit does have a vulnerability scanner built in

Hi all,
I have no rights (yet) to post in the development forum, so do so here instead for the moment in hopes it's interesting.
The Atrix folks had placed Debian availability in WebTop via chroot (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093790).
Alas, that mod does not work, as is, on the Photon for various reasons. However, I have modified the installers (and uninstallers) so as to allow the Photon 4G also to have chroot-ed Linux (Debian) in WebTop mode.
If it's interesting, I'm happy to post the installers and relevant download information here on this forum, if that's appropriate. I use the system constantly, and it's quite good. Personally, I installed wbar and configured that up for all my 'desktop' apps. The wbar, of course, shows up on the WebTop desktop as one would expect.
The mods I made for the Photon keep the Debian install quite un-invasive relative to the replacement models (GenTop2, UbunTop, and others). Personally, I am, and have been for a very long time, a *heavy* Gentoo user, and love the distro, but not for this situation (though I might, one day, get it running on the Photon for fun if no one else does that first).
In any event, let me know if there's a better place to post the installer and uninstaller scripts, or if they're even interesting to anyone but myself. I suspect this forum (general) is not the proper venue for that level of sophistication, but I could be wrong. To be sure, I did search for Debian on the Photon forums and came up blank regarding this mod, so I figured I am ok posting about it.

Is it possible to install Linux (Debian) on locked boot loader ....??

No unlocking required. In fact the only requirements are a rooted phone and busybox installed using the BusyBox installer.
My phone is locked and doesn't even have any form of ClockworkMod installed. Works like a champ.

That is a whole nother ballgame, ubuntu touch is a pain. Lol
I've given up on working on it for now, as i really need my phone to be working 110% all the time, so im back to stock....with a handful of modifications ofc.
Using th3bills cm10.1 i was trying to just port it over without having to.build like they say in the porting guide, and no luck outside of a loop. User error really. Its best left to the trusted devs, etc round here.
Our phones can handle it great, and then some, BUT, as with anything over the stock gb, without drivers things dont work as they should. Ubuntu touch is really frikkin awesome to look st, but even if someone ports it, it is only a preview an 90% of the features wont work or are just placeholders. Id let it sit a while, not worth a damn atm. But it does give you a taste of the ui. Which, is tough getting used to as it is very gesture oriented as apposed to click here scroll here that we do on android.

If I can find some free time in my super-busy college schedule, I'd like to try my hand at porting it for us. Not just because it would be awesome to have it, but because I'd like to eventually do some app development for it (and it looks like a badass OS for a phone).
Can I put Ubuntu on my Photon even with 2.3.5?
I think you have to unlock the bootloader first.

Unfortunately not. Ubuntu requires it to be unlocked. (ubuntu ATM is highly reliant on cm10 still, so if you can't run cm10,which 2.3.5 can't)

What is the point? We need a decent kernel that can actually support our phone. Atrix 4G succeeded, and all development has halted here. This phone seems pretty much done. Very disappointing.
