Please offer me tips on how to become as amazing as some of you guys!
I have alot of computing knowledge. But only a little in development and code writing etc
What should i read first? I guess i need knowledge on linux first? Or should i begin with something really easy. I havent a clue!
Thanks in advance

I will save this for the future. Maybe print it and then give it to you on your 60th birthday when you're a major software developer and a billionaire. It will be great times

I've just been looking up the same thing, I have eclipse installed with a virtual device, its just the code writing I'm stuck with.
But to answer your question, you need the android sdk and eclipse and a virtual device within eclipse. Then you can focus on code writing

Well the reason I lol'd is coz saying you have eclipse but don't know how to write code is like saying you have furry dice and now all you need is the car.
Not having a go or anything, I just laughed is all.

You don't need code to download and run eclipse, so I guess that's the easy part done. Can you offer advice??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It helps if you have a specific goal in mind. What exactly would you want to do that requires android related coding skills?
If you want to make apps it seems most useful to start with familiarizing yourself with the Java programming language. Usage of the sdk comes after that.

Read. Read absolutely anything you can find!
Learn a language, currently I'm trying to learn a bit of C, the language used to code the Linux kernel.
I also have some books on Java, which is what the os is based on.

Alot of experienced devs on here are up there own arse. They hate noobs. I get that it gets frustrating when we ask questions over and over. They kind of want to be the minority. They feel big. Better than us.
But seriously.. did u guys learn from others atall? Books? Advice? Trial and error? I know u did cos thats life! These are the sort of ppl who push there kids to be what they want em to be and disown them if they fail.
As i said.. everyone starts somewere. I wouldnt not teach my lil boy how to ride a bike bcos he cant do it first time. Be nice to people! And good things will happen.. i aint talkin about just you. Theres alot of hatred for noobs.. being a noob doesnt make us dumb!

Learning how to code takes time but doesn't necessarily have to be difficult. It's like a jigsaw of skills and knowledge. Start small and build your skill set a piece at a time. I suggest you start from the beginning with a good introductory java programming book. Lookup amazon and find one with good reviews. Start with the simple concepts like variables, variable types, arrays, methods, parameter passing, classes, for/while loops, if else statements. Then move onto events and event handlers, creating a simple ui with buttons and text boxes etc etc.
I recommend java because it's a lot easier than starting with something like c since you won't need to worry about memory management and it's a lot higher level. I'd actually recommend c# because imo it's a really great language with much more flexibility than java and much easier to work with but you won't be able to develop for Android using it unless you want to use mono.
Don't expect results overnight. If you're impatient or get easily frustrated then don't even bother. But then again that goes for any endeavour worth working hard for.

Google and Trial+Error. It's the most efficient way since you can keep your goal in mind without having to follow tutorials about stuff you don't care about.
However be prepared to rewrite your code often whenever you learn better stuff
Search for the boston Android tutorials on YouTube . That will give you some basic knowledge in bite size pieces.
Just like everything you learned: start by copying what others do.
Check out the Google development pages. They contain nice tuts too.

You will find most get their knowledge by reading all the faqs and guides .
Being a noob makes nobody dumb .
But refusing to follow XDA rules not searching being to lazy to bother to read wanting it all handed to you on a plate certainly makes you dumb .
Those noobs and non noobs are becoming a bigger part of what is supposed to be a developers forum not a fix my phone forum and that's why their is a backlash against some posters .
Sadly we are not going to get back the forum that XDA once was as its been linked on that many other sites its now treated as just another forum that can fix my phone up .
All said in a nutshell here many years ago .

Hey I am 13 years old and i would love to learn how people like eugene and team whiskey and jeallette can make all these awesome roms and wondered if anyone could be nice and give me advice on how to learn all this... i am really facinated by the devs in xda no homo
You could download the android SDK, eclipse and learn some by just downloading their ROMs and looking around. I think the best answer is going to come from one of them, but learning Java and playing should be a good start.
I don't really think the no homo at the end was necessary.

As s15 said download sdk.
download some roms from here and get familiar with whats what.
some of the newbie roms out are nothing but a popular rom with theme and custom applications.
Learn java as well.

For what it's worth, when I was 13 I was poking around in the terminal on my desktop and writing calculator programs in basic (following tutorials of course), and I'm by no means smart. Never under-estimate whiz kids. I'm sure you had that nerdy kid in your neighborhood who was building robots in elementary school and winning the science fair every year.

Set up all the necessary things to root. There's nothing wrong with being young but at least go out hang with friends or work out/ get fit. Rooting is a hobby. I even helped my teacher root I didn't mean it to be offensive my bad.

I'm by no means an expert with android work, but I've learned by reading ,by tinkering, and asking. I'm personally better with C, C++, & C#, but I can do a bit of java and html. Just start reading, you cant hack a system if u don't know it inside and out. Learn everything you can about android, linux, arm, qualcomm, cell technology, etc. just start absorbing any info u can get ur hands on regarding the systems & hardware Hope that gives u a place to start =)

Keep interested! If you really like this stuff, you won't be able to stop yourself from learning more. Try out some Linux distributions, read up on programming languages (I recommend python and it's java-fied version jython,) and just read whatever interests you.
If you're interested in making themes, get yourself a copy of Photoshop (doesn't have to be CS5) or if you don't feel like breaking all kinds of copy right, get The GIMP. There's a a whole lot of tutorials out there for every kind of effect you'd want to achieve with an image. There's also a lot of tutorials on xda for people looking to get into theming.

The Practical Nerd Rule:
#1: Do not accept the status quo.
Allowing society to dictate your life forces you to waste time, money, and energy. Here’s a big, shocking secret about today’s American society: we’re all idiots.
Tell yourself today that you are going to start a new life – one that bucks the trends. Make your own educated decisions, and stop caring about what everybody else is doing. You’re not wasting your time trying to keep up with the Joneses anymore.

You guys have a better head start than I did - just google the computers I started with when I was 13 in 1984!
Not many devs can do 100% of this. It takes a team and asking for help.
I was going to ask the same original question!
I am in CS 1400, its my first "major" specific class outside Math.
It is for a Computer Science Degree which I will probably emphasize in Game Engineering.
This first class lasts two semester's covering the same book:
Deitels "Java: How To Program (9th)".
I assume these classes and books are going to be my best bet on getting into the hardware hacking and learning this kind of stuff?
I wouldn't mind other suggestions, I mean most the stuff I already know is from messing around and learning from experience!
hell I'm 41 with a GED and I'm lucky if I can remember how to use the microwave let alone develop a rom

Well I actually just tried LD4 for the first time, after having run LC5 for a month or so (having found LC5 to be the fastest for me - by at least 20 - both in San Diego....and near D.C., where I live. Trying LD4 today I've noticed that it seems to be more consistent in it's data speed, but probably about 10-20% (more like 10-15%) slower than LC5, for me - putting it somewhere in second place, right behind the LC5 for speed. It's pretty decent for speed, but not quite LC5 level. Just my $0.02 . I favor speed over consistency any day, but that's just cus I hate waiting.

BTW, I'd say stfu about all the asking about posts and crap. I've looked through a few of those posts before (the ones 'that have already been posted about this'), and they all just say the same thing; test em out and see for yourself.

That's probably what the OP was looking for, so quit trolling the world and let the informative people (me in this case) give their opinion.
So now instead of just having 3 or so threads people on google will sift through to find out that no one answered their question. They'll sift through 3 or so and find out that in my personal opinion, LC5 is the fastest

If you've seen this video before, then you'll understand what it stands for, for the others? Watch, listen and don't be surprised when you never receive an answer.
This is a development site, a lot of effort is put into creating user friendly guides and tutorials.
In this Specific device forum, we put more effort into gathering all information and troubleshooting about this device here:
The Ultimate Guide to Everything Amaze-ing!(Amaze 4g BIBLE!) Updated Often
If it's absolutely NOT there, then find a thread similar to it and post in there, DO NOT post a new thread for every question, if you have an old thread post it there, if you have multiple questions, post it all in one post and if you have another question that comes to mind after that post, EDIT your post and add it in, DON'T MAKE THREE POST FOR THREE QUESTIONS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO READ, ANSWER, READ, ANSWER AND KEEP REPEATING THE SAME PROCESS WHICH COULD'VE BEEN DONE IN THE FIRST REPLY!
If you're too lazy to search for the answer to your own problem, then don't expect US to do it for you, we KNOW what's available and what isn't, so telling us you can't find it? Just lets us know YOU ARE LAZY.
If you're a total NOOB? I'd advise you to head over to the amaze bible, read, understand, read it again, understand and read AGAIN until you grasp the detail and understand what you're dealing with, if you don't get it? You must be a tad bit slow.
DO NOT bombard dev threads with questions, read their FAQ post, READ IT READ IT READ IT and again READ. Your question has been answered before and if you're the only one having that problem? It's obviously not the devs fault. Found a bug? If it's unique, worth looking at and it wasn't answered before, POST A LOGCAT, we aren't mind readers or magicians!
DO NOT post questions in the general forum! There is a question and answer forum for a reason, I from this day refuse to answer questions posted in the general forum, regular and advanced members should do the same, this practice has to STOP.

You get an answer or any kind of HELP, press the THANKS button, DON'T post "thanks", you're already welcome, but is it really relevant to post a whoooole post just to say "thanks"? really? There's a button for that.
Press thanks on every rom thread you open and download, you don't have any idea the countless hours devs spend creating the ROMs they do JUST FOR YOU to have better experience using YOUR device, though he/she is getting nada for it. Be grateful, press THANKS!
Donate to a dev if you can, a little donation is a very welcome and very much appreciated form of showing a dev their work is loved and appreciated, their countless hours of their own personal time was totally worth it and that you end users think they deserve just a kind token of appreciation for their work. It goes a long way, even if it's a simple 5 bucks, most of them are college/high school students, like many of our devs here, so hit that thanks button and donate if you can, it's very much appreciated.
Do Not PM devs or common regs or MODS unless they say they're okay with getting PM's, have a problem with a post? Then report it, not everyone wants their inbox being blown up with irrelevant questions and things that can be found in a forum, they usually have support threads, use those to let a dev know something, ONLY PM if it is absolutely important like you're-gonna-die-if-this-person-doesn't-help-you important. Got it? The reaction of some people will be VERY NICE for PM's about none sense and YOU cannot feel insulted if you get a rude response, you simply went looking for it.
I shall continue this post as I see things to be added, that is all, now go have fun reading, since that's where we learn all the basics before practice, you read read read, watch youtube videos of someone doing it. (There's a video of everything on youtube), then read read read some more, be sure and confident before attempting something you have no clue about, if you have NO clue about it, then why on earth are you about to do it? Don't be a noob, be a newb that's willing to be the next Recognized Dev/Contributor/Themer/Mod/Admin sometime in the future.
If you don't like what I have to say and think my point of view is somehwat "rude"?

To be fair, without the end user, your product is useless, but I get what you're saying.
Dark, I see your zeal, but it is time wasted. People do what they want regardless of what is said. Some of us fought the battle and got nowhere. I always like to see someone take up the mantle tho, keep it up
For everyone else, show some fkn courtesy and listen to what is being said. This isn't xda-babysitters! I'm out!

I have done this lol Just grab any of the NFC apps from the play store and program a tag with your number. When the device reads it it will open up and display it. Better yet create a tag with a contact card in it complete with name and number
hahah thats what i want to do. just make it nice and pretty and run up on a girl and be like "aye bay bay, you got that NFC?"
... i swear this will be the way i meet my wife. hahaha
if a girl you are interested in knows what nfc is, has a phone with nfc, and is willing to take your info via your nfc card, you take her straight to the chapel. :good:
i just need coax someone into designing me a contact card. lol hint hint hint wink wink wink

the idiocy would actually fall on you for not picking up the humor/sarcasm from other posts that have been madeand with that being said, i'll just break it down for you...
i WAS in fact making it a joke on the "current state of pop culture" by writing with the vernacular of people who use the term in their everyday vocabulary. the word SWAG is being used in a sense to describe the boost of confidence someone would feel by getting new clothes, a new haircut, car, phone, etc. the sarcasm was played on the approach in which one would hand out their number to a female in style, yet doing it in a geeky way. i wanted to still ask the question because i was curious to know, but thought it was something that was more humorous than serious. i think there would be a higher chance of someone like you (taking things on an internet forum more serious than they should be taken and bashing the person because he either just doesn't get it or just wants to feel superior by trying to correct someone) bashing the op (me) if i were to start a thread saying...
"is it possible to put my phone number on an NFC chip and let girls use their phones to get my contact instead of me doing it the old fashion way with a pen a paper"
so i decided to make it a joke, yet get a real answer.
so if you want to have the last word then go ahead and reply back, but i didn't start this thread to create an argument with someone i don't know over the internet about something that's really almost pointless. I'm not going to reply back and would much rather see this thread be closed/deleted because it's hard to watch something that could put a smirk on someones face be turned into an argument because someone just couldn't get the joke.

*****WARNING... Some of the following text may contain humor or sarcasm and should be approached with extreme caution. I nor anyone else posting above or below is responsible for feelings being hurt or the inability to understand such humor or sarcasm. Continue at your own risk.
Step 1: design contact card small enough to fit on nfc chip.
Step 2: write the contact card to nfc chip.
Step 3: prowl
Step 4: select target and say "aye bay bay, you got that nfc?"
Step 5: give nfc contact to attracted lady/man* or get laughed at and walk away with head down in shame**.
Step 6: you wait* or give it a day and rethink strategy**.
If one of the mods can sticky my step by step guide on how to prowl that would be very informative for some people on here.
Once I get my tags, I'll give it a whirl and post back with my research on how well this guide will work. Hopefully, I'll have a friend with me who can take video so we can study it closer. Hahaha

I don't see how having a healthy respect for speaking a language properly is considered "Nazi'ism." I understand if it's not your first language, but even foreigners don't butcher the language quite as much as some native English speakers. All because they're too lazy to learn; Or can't be bothered to move their fingers over a few extra keys..
Just my two cents.

My point is that with all the massive butchering of the language as a whole on the internet (icanhazcheezburger, ZOMG, Lulz, etc) proper usage of they're, their, there isn't that big of a deal when communicating on a message forum. Now on your resume', or in a professional setting when you need to communicate on behalf of the company that is writing your checks, yeah you should be a little more careful about using proper grammar and spelling. But calling out someone on a message forum, Facebook, Youtube comments, etc for poor spelling and grammar is kind of lame. IMHO.

The long and short of it is, regardless of how acceptable it has become to butcher a language on the internet, be it on a resume or on a forum, it is good practice to continue your communication skills correctly. It's just sloppy and lazy, otherwise. If you're okay with the virtual world seeing you as someone with reading comprehension skills below a second grader, then I suppose that is your prerogative.
Meanwhile, people that continue to spell things out fully, correctly, and with proper grammar and punctuation are seen as pretentious and "douchey".
I suppose you're damned either way.

But there is some truth to what you say. In this case, however, nobody was "whining" about it in this thread. I believe the original statement was simply a suggestion that if you're trying to convey a thought, it usually helps all parties involved if the correct words were used.

Exactly right. It is only when you are acting all superior and elite.
Be happy that your grammar is being corrected in an internet forum and not a classroom, where your grade will suffer for it.
If you're too lazy to use correct spelling/grammar/punctuation, then what else might you be too lazy to do correctly?
