Haven't tried it, but all tutorials on the internet about compiling android are for linux. Probably because android is a linux based operation system. I don't think it's possible to compile on windows
Install linux or use the live CD...
well I guess I'll have to install Ubuntu then
Thanks... and any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Where I can find the tutorial for compiling my rom?

Sorry, it's not quite as simple as that. First set up your Linux install, and all necessary tools (check the Android developers site), and then come back and ask where to begin!
any chance by making an htc sense ui custom rom for it?
Custom ROM
Can I also get the custom ROM for SG 551?
Thanks,

I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out

One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself
Hello Everyone,
Just had a simple question, do you all develop/code for Android for on Linux? Is it something of a must? This is just a precursor to my next question. Just wanted to get the general feel of things.

Ok... I was trying to download the android source code, and when i run the repo command I get this:
fatal: unable to start c:\Users\sm187t\JellyBean\.repo\repo/main.py
fatal: [Errno 8] Exec format error
Till now haven't found anything to solve this. Googled since evening. I have Windows 7, Python 2.7 and running the commands on Git Bash.
I don't think compiling android source or any android Rom source is possible in Windows. You can use a vm and run Linux through that to compile but if possible it is best to do it through Linux itself.
You can develop android apps in Windows using the sdk and an ide such as eclipse.

Hmmm.... interesting! I wonder why the ROM is so rigid that only Linux users can be free to use it. There goes my hope! I have an office laptop cant install Linux and VM. Not allowed. :crying:
So I want to compile Cyanogenmod myself. But all the time I'm trying to set up my ubuntu it's not working. And often the threads are out of date. So could you tell me what I'll need in order to compile roms ? Toutorials would be nice. Of course I'm running a 64bit Ubuntu 12.04. If I schould use another distro just tell me.
Thank you in advance.
hello guys,
I don't know why, but my VirtualBox is not working at the moment
So i have to ask you if anyone could build me an flashable rom with this source code, until i have "repaired" ubuntu
