Hi all!
I do many projects with programming. I would move Android on Samsung Omnia or on other device. I downloaded CM 7 on Samsung Galaxy Ace. I know how change resolution and other things in build.prop. I know that I must rewrite drivers, but I would only start of Android. So how I have set cpu and others things need to start of Android?

You can do a lot of search regarding this topic under google.
The density can be change by modifying "ro.sf.lcd_density=??" at build.prop.
some suggestion for porting guide:

No need to get rude and start saying any idiot can do this or that...
It's hard to understand what your saying or asking...and English probably isn't your first language...if you don't mind could you tell us your native language...that way maybe someone who speaks it can better help you if they happen to come across this page
Also it helps to know a little more what you want to do...
Your asking for help but you claim you know how to modify android...that's where I'm confused, I just don't know what your asking for

I searched in the forum, but it seems to be no present a tutorial forcooking a custom ROM.
I've got a GalaxyS, i flash many ROM and i've to install apps everytime...boring! So I wonder if is it possible to modify a custom ROM to add/remove apps for instance.
I'm a java developer, but I've got no experience with Linux... Is it a problem?
Could someone post a kind of guide to learn how to moify a ROM?
+1
its because we have touchwiz.
if we had stock android, it would be much easier developing
Well I have an evo and I too am looking for a tutorial to cook roms. I have no developing experience and just want to learn.
count me in too! I already have ubuntu just need some direction to get started on the vibrant.
Here it is a video guide for Samsung GalaxyS (i9000)...thank you Nokia7Vista!
Edit: nevermind, thought I was in a different section

You can modify:
framework-res.apk
All the apps, you can unpack the .apk's, located in /system/app/ and replace the icons, or even the whole app.
You can add/remove/replace .apk's, located in /system/app
services.jar
Much, much more.
If you're on Linux, you can unpack the .apk's out of the box. Otherwise, install 7zip.
Once you're done modifying them.
I am very much intrested in Android Modding and theme development. I am working a a Theme that can change whole interface of a phone. but editing png's is not enough. I need to port some applications in order to have a more better mod. Can somebody help to teach me android app porting. Im sure with only a few instructions I can learn it easily. If you want to help me kindly reply here or PM me. Please I need your help.
Thanks in advance.
its really easy to port apps all you need it a good tool like this;
Click here to see how you can port apps
you don't have to know any programming whatsoever even a noob can use it.
thanks will try and tell. So can I port all third party apps using that? The thread says small knowledge of SDK, smali etc is required. But im totally a noob.
Hi,
I'm currently woring on creating a complete VM and a document with instraction of getting from compile to flahsing from begining.
The complete enviroment will be set and ready with the Stock ROM (currently targeting 4.0.2.A.0.58) and the Android OS.
This will allow users to be able to take this VM and start right a away to change the Stock ROM and integrate changes for that from other modes.
will update this thread when it's done. and links for download (unless someone will be faster the me )
18/12 Update:
Just now finish creating an working and compiling enviroment with 2.3.4_r1 of Android
now working on making it to work with the Sony Ericson source code...

Hi,
I need a little help here... i have followed the steps in Google:
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
and also the Journal:
http://journal.tianhao.info/2010/12/compile-android-gingerbread-on-ubuntu-10-10/
i have compiled the code and got it up and running and also in emulator with the command line that was written in the Journal and the Android is working..
now i try to understand the Sony Ericson guide:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
I have downloaded the ARM cross-compiler and installed it, was really bad instructions on how to install it. but just need to run: sh ./the_downloaded.bin
and installed it correctly
after installing the ARM cross-compiler successfully done a make to the kernel but only after fixing the symbolic link that from some reason was attach to 0x86 arch and not arm.
the paths where different since i used the default installer path and match the same version that they used: 2010q1
so first done this for the .config :
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make semc_zeus_defconfig
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then run the make:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
now i got kernel compiled!
the question is:
i know that with the Android compiling i got 3 files in the /source_android/out/target/product/generic:
1. ramdisk.img
2. system.img
3. userdata.img
do i need to use the ramdisk from the Android for the next steps of SE guide ?
1. Getting a RAM disk and extract it
2. Re-package it with all of the kernel of SE that we just compiled
3. Assembling the boot.img using the mkbootimg
moreover, after i assemble the files i want to make a really clean installation and cleaning all the flash and installing all in a vanilla mod.
what should be the next steps ?
Regards,
LaBBa.
I thought that the community here will help in this small matter so we will have more pepole that could join the efforts of making brtter and cooller roms... I guess I was wrong. All I wanted to do is help the dev community and create the full step by step guide to starting developers in the android world....
Sadly I'm forced to end this thread due to lake of knowledge...

im sorry i would help but i dont know much lol srry no one that knew could or would help
hi,
I hope that you are able to get this working.
i will use it when it is finished
Edit: what have you exactly done?
Maybe i can help
all i wanted to do is to download all the source codes and compile it and then creat the same version (for this case the .58) manually and get to the same images that need to be flahed.
i wanted to create from this a complete tut that others that have allot of knowladge in development could start working without the stragling of setting up an eviroment or all the issues about how to get from compiling to acctuall creating an .img to flash it on your device.
just a simple "out of the box" solution so pepole could get and work right a way without wasting time in assembling the source codes and setting then env.
ok, and where are you?
I mean what have you done for now??
please see the second post.. it's all there..
yes you need that ramdisk for the kernel.
but you need to edit the ramdisk to work with the xperia play.
i can do that, can you upload it??
what i'm going to do now is, i'm going to upload all the VM to the web and write the complete tutrial for all the steps i have done so far and then we could continue. thank you for trying to help!
ok,
if you need some help PM me!
Well seeing many developers at my age (15) It makes me want to be a developer myself .. One thing ; I don't know jack about android coding .. So I'm wondering where do I starT? What are the Minimum requirements to be a Dev? What tools Do I use ? I know that I might need a linux partition and I'm actually downloading UBUNTU Right now.. So If any Dev can point me into a direction of 'how to code for android' or something like that, that'd be awesome!

To properly develop a rom you will need A linux box (but a partition will work for some of it) Need to know c+ and java coding as well as being good with using linux.
What's a Kitchen Though?
I remember Using a online kitchen for my Galaxy Spica to make a Samdroid mod ... Is it like a easy making rom thingy?

The android kitchen is a way to make simple mods to a custom rom. IT will not do all the work for you to make a custom rom that is not just another modded rom. Do a search for android kitchen on XDA and read up on it. There is not simple way to make a rom. You can make a customized rom or translate a rom (MIUI) but neither of these is making a rom. If you trully want to make your own rom you will need to learn java and C+ coding
Greetings!
Well, is how the title says. I want to start making my own systems apps. For instance, I want to start developing a camera apk for my GS3 but the problem is that I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to open those internals files like xml files(they do not open correctly with a note app), .rsa files, .mf files, .sf files, .dex files, .arsc files and the list continues. How to compile and discompile apks or flashable files...
All of this is because I want to star my own proyect, and through this way, to enter the android developing community of the GS3!
If anyone could help me to accomplish this I would be VERY grateful! If theres a guide (I tried to look for one but my research did not throw any result) that would be better!
Hope you could understand me because English is not my main language, but hey, I'm learning
Thank You SO MUCH for YOUR TIME!
Personally I think you should start to learn the programming and code from your toaster, but hey - if you want to damage your S3 - it is your free will (I hope)
OK, let's go to the matter, first. Assessing your coding skills based on your questions, I decided that you should start your learning from this.
Furthermore, to be more presice against your questions, if you would become literate expert in above linked knowledge, feel free to use
this as a small sample.
If it made you curious, why not try for even more interesting news?
