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

Yeah I don't have a Linux OS yet. I'll take your offer on app development.

Linux is free, you can either set up a VM or dual boot w/ windows. Linux is the key that will open the door for ya.

This is probably old news but I just recently saw this on the Ubuntu website. Looks pretty freaking sweet! Still in development tho.

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.

Im excited for the fact you can take you computer with you. simply dock it them WALLA you get a working desktop environment. i have reservations on it using Google docs though, i tried, but never can really use Google docs the way i use my other office programs, just doesn't have the flexibility.
But im excited! I've alread click their link on their page.
Also, with the advent of ICS tgeb JB they need to kick it into gear or how else they going to keep up with the upgrades?

If you can virtualize another distribution within it, you basically have Linux within Linux within Linux.

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.
-Cheers- Signed,

Thanks for share sir .. i though anyone haven't try it yet .. i follow the ubuntu touch forum every day hope that some of our great dev will port it. But i still wait it until happen.. i hope

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.
Is there a full conversion or at least half conversion ROMs for Windows 8 on Galaxy S4? I love the UI of Windows phone and open source of Android. I know i know windows phone is closed sourced. So? Call it a different name and legalize it foo. So is anyone making this and if not any willing devs or people want to help me make it? I know I'm not alone with the whole windows phone thing. So summary and less fast typing: Windows 8 phone on Galaxy S4 ROM? Also really I will make the ROM if i have help. What software makes roms? Lol noobtastic!

Well its illegal due to eula... and it doesnt use linux kernels so the chance of getting sammy drivers that work on windows kernel are slim, although you might be able to mod them from some sammy rt tablets
Also windows phone is closed source as is rt so part from having really good conectioms at either microsoft or any oem distributor od wp8 you probably wont be able to get your hands on the dev code
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
All you need is a good clean AOSP build(not cm or another aosp-based ROM... Real AOSP) with a good windows phone 8 launcher(Google it), contacts(Google it), app drawer(Google it), and lockscreen(Google it) to make it a MORE FUNCTIONAL windows phone.
I won't be assisting in any part of this though. I think it's the single ugliest operating system to date. With the most grandma friendly ui ever. With styling from the eighties.
But I will say, I know 100% that the apps are available because I did this same thing for a friend who plans to get a windows phone next upgrade because he was unhappy with his current phone(HTC one x that is a pos)

Ummm i am not doing a framework port. I said ROM NOT FRAMEWORK. So its possible. Like lock screen and setting do over and build in some apps like messager 7 or launcher 8. So it's easy enough for a skilled team.

You need the framework to make a rom. I know you can run really old versions of Windows but I have never heard of windows phone on an Android phone you could check Google play there are quite a few windows phone line apps as well as Launcher and lock screens.

Because being an official tester for project elite/elite kernel, helping infamous's team with their vzw port, Google edition, blu Kuban(which I really need to get some work done on), ChameleonOS support and testing, miuiv5, and real life 50hr a week work isn't enough... lol
The windows ROM is not interesting to me at all. And frankly, it's the perfect newb Dev project. Nothing about it would be hard if you find the windows apps and find a good solid vanilla ROM. The most intense development in that project is using 7-zip.

So, I'm thinking about trying to port a stock ROM for the Verizon s4 to the DNA. Why you guys think? Just an idea.
Sent from my dlx using xda app-developers app
I assume it will be hard and take lots of time and testing. More so than an HTC port since it's a Samsung device and they run different hardware. Some stuff may not ever work. The s4 has many features one would miss out on if ported to a DNA. Touchwiz would be nice to see because of it's fluidity and snapiness. That's something that sense has always lacked in my eyes.
Good luck with that.
Please do it!!!!

Yeah you are right, it will be difficult. And some stuff may not work I'm not sure. I used to have the s3 and there was actually a dude working on a sense 5 port. I didn't keep the phone long enough to see if everything worked though, so I'll just play around with it and see what I can do. Also don't anyone get their hopes up about it being available like now because I have to fit this into my schedule, I'll keep you guys updated!!
