Okay, I started this project about a month ago and I never really got into it. Now that I have some spare time I decided to continue.
I'm writing a program to download the latest CyanogenMod or TheOfficial Nexus ROM. After that you will choose what you want in the ROM (eg. wifi tether, Amazon MP3, Spare Parts)
Once you decide what you want in the ROM the program will remove whatever you do not want and rebuild it for you. After you rebuild it, it will give you the option allow the program to move it to your sdcard and even reboot your phone into recovery where you can perform a Nandroid and apply the ROM yourself (I will not write the program to apply the ROM because it's not really a good idea).
The program will be free of charge and you can download it and install it directly on your computer. (Windows only, sorry)
Now this sounds a LOT easier than it really is so if anybody has any experience with C# let me know if you want to help. Send me an email at [myscreenname] gmail com. Please do not email or chat me unless you're wanting to help develop the code. When I need testers I will let you know.

Q & A
Q: How is this different than Modaco's ROM kitchen?
A: Mine is software, installs on your computer with updates, and it will be free.
It's not exactly the same thing but close.
No hard feelings Modaco, don't take it personal.
Q: When will it release?
A: I can't tell you a date or a specific time but I'm working on it and I will post it the minute I think it's stable enough to pass out.
Q: Will it work on Linux or Mac?
A: Originally no, but I've had some ideas come in about Mac so I'll let you know

"The program will be free of charge and you can download it and install it directly on your computer."
Free (no need to be a paid member of somewhere) and it's not a web app.
AWESOME!!!! I have always wanted something like this... and its free!!!
it will run on linux ?
I'd love to test it for you when your looking for some beta testers

Okay, thanks. I'll let you know when I get to that point.
Thanks for you efforts. I Don agree with modaco charging for something that has been free to access. What if xda forum started charging to access this site? It would kill the spirit of what most Tom chefs do here. Smh.
Sheesh, you guys don't read, or something.
He doesnt charge for access to his ROMs. But he offers his subscribers the benefit of being able to customize their ROMs to their liking, pre-flash. The "base" install without customizations are, and always have been, available for free.
Wow!
Any idea of a release date?
I can see a new section of the cm website coming soon ..............
Will you already need to be rooted for this program to work or will this be a graphical program that will also root the phone? Thanks
Looking forward to this, i will definitely contribute to your cause.
I will also volunteer to beta test for you, as well as donate for a copy of the final product. I think its awesome you're doing this.
And, as a guy who tri-boots Fedora, OSX and Win7, I feel you on the "I only write Windows stuff".
However, you should check into this tool, to make what you're writing at least cross-platform for Mac. And, its totally free (and no, I don't work for them).

You don't need a Mac to deploy to one. This is basically an IDE with a Cocoa compiler as well as a .NET compiler.
Kind of similar to how Visual Studio translates whatever language you're writing in to MSIL before compiling, but on a broader scale.
Does anyone know if there is a similar Android app to this fabulous WinMo app?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394203
If this is not in the correct place, please move it.
I figured since the WinMo version was created by someone on XDA, maybe someone here has, or would, create an Android version?

RemoteTracker for Android is almost there!
Hello all,
I know I was out for a very long time. But now it's time to release the first version for Android. But, before I go to Google Play, I need to test it in several devices. So, I released the first release candidade version in http://remotetracker.sourceforge.net/RemoteTracker.apk.
There is also a PRO version, with more features, like capture all images from camera, take a picture from front camera when SEND button is pressed and more. You will can buy it from Play, but helping me with tests, translations or anything you will get it for free.
As I said before, RemoteTracker for Windows Mobile could be a success because the users, not me. And you can do it again for Android
There is a long way to go. I'm just starting the project.
All the Best!!!
That good news, I'm downloading and testing!

So, what programming languages and tools do I need to learn/get?
java.. Android sdk, Eclipse IDE.. that should about do it
Android is a multi user Linux OS.
You can start out by dloading the source from code.google and compiling your own version.
A little more info.
The apps etc are for the most part Java with each app running in its own sandbox as a separate user in their own vm.
hey btw if I remember right (its been a couple years) the sdk comes with a few sample apps to give you an idea of how to code an app if you want to do more than edit a rom and recompile and actually create your own app.

Hope somebody answers your question about ROM development. There are some simple tutorials about swapping pieces out here and there, but I assume you are talking about getting in there and coding! I've always figured it was C++, which I have programmed in for a number of years, but maybe it is Java.
You need either a Linux or Mac, I know that. I actually have the whole development package loaded on my Linux machine, and have even got to the point of compiling a ROM for a device that I do not own. I must confess to just blindly typing in the commands. There is still too much I do not know about repositories and Ubuntu itself. Anyway, I just keep plugging away researching here and there.
Hope someone does a TF201 ROM compiling tutorial soon ... haven't found it yet.
For the record, I have written a fairly complicated .apk for phone/tablet users at my place of work. They really love it. But, Android development is child's play compared to ROM development ... it is simpler and also very well documented on the internet.

Hello,
I'm fairly new to developing in general and I am some what intimidated by what I've been told I may have to learn to develop for Android.
Here's what I've done so far by reading the threads:
I've downloaded the latest Android SDK and its tools
I read through the ADB man page and have created my path to my Device
I know how to push, pull, log and from Terminal.
I was told that I may need to learn Java to develop for Android. If this is the case, do any of you recommend specific books?
If so - could you put the Amazon link in a reply? Or maybe just the author's name?
Thank you in return.

Actually i would recommend you to start devving by making themes because it only involves editing xmls in apk and changing images...it will also help you understand how to decompile and recompile apk which is the most basic of modding!!!

Hi There
Ubuntu is fine for development, You're going to want to install eclipse. You're really tackling 2 things here, Java Development and how that applies to Android.
If you're starting from the very beginning then some good resources are.
Android Developer web site [ developer.android.com ]
This should be the first place you go to for android development, it contains the documentation for the android framework as well as some additional howto's etc. The Installing the SDK [ developer.android.com/sdk/installing ] will guide you through getting eclipse setup and ready for Android Development. You should then be able to follow the Building Your First App [ developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp ] guide, to create your first Android app.
For Java Development in General the Oracle website has some good resources.
Oracle Java Tutorials Index [ docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial ]
If you're completely new to software development then you'll want to read The Java Language Section [ docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java ] , this explains Object Oriented Programming and it's conecpts. I would probably look at the Get Started Section [ docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted ] also, although you maybe able to get by with the Android Stuff.
Hope That Helps and Good Luck!

I just picked up a physical book of Learning Android 2 from my library. Is there a different framework between versions?
I would honestly say there is no starting point.
You can start developing kernels. Even I try to do a basic understanding of how they work. I do basic undervolting for my phone and few mods.
You can also try learning java and contribute to Android AOSP or CyanogenMod
Or yeah theming is also an option.
I would also like an answer to this...
I have ubuntu installed, I have Java experience, I have the Android SDK installed.
Are there any tutorials out there that give you a step by step guide on how to build a fully functioning Android ROM from scratch?
I've had a look around and different tutorials are telling me different things and they all seem to say "this will not make a full ROM". I have a phone that isn't widely supported (Galaxy S2 LTE i9210t Australia) and since Samsung have delayed ICS for our device for about the 100th time, I'd like to learn how to develop ICS for our handset.
Our handset doesn't even have a forum. We have one thread with quite a few people crying out for a decent, stable ROM 4.0+ and I'd like to help.

Im not going to link to them because they are common as muck on xda but look for guides for building from source. If you have the source, you can make any changes you like without having to patch stuff together.
I havent personally started doing this yet but ive been messing with android for about 2 years now and ive just started creating my own roms etc.

hi guys
1. i want to install Ubuntu touch when I'm back from my holidays. I saw lots of videos showing a nexus 4 running it and it was EXTREMLY smooth. But I only have a Galaxy Nexus. Does it run as smooth as on the nexus 4? Because I'd love that!
2. can someone give me a list or a link on what is currently working and what isn't? I could just find an individual error-list on the ubuntu-website, but not a full list. Because Ubuntu Touch looks very nice to me and I don't want to uninstall it after an hour of using it. I want to keep it on my Galaxy Nexus for a longer time. I use Ubuntu every day on my laptop and I can use the terminal to get the things i want
3. how do you get updates for ubuntu touch? can you download them via terminal or do you have to download a new zip and install it via cwm?
4. is the software center ready or is it still in development?
thanks for answering my questions and helping me! I hope i'm in the right section :laugh:

1. I don't have a Galaxy Nexus, but I've heard the performance is still very good on it.
2. What ships mostly works, network, camera, audio, etc. We have a growing number of apps available to install via PPA too.
3. You can get most updates via apt-get upgrade on the terminal, though that will soon change when we go to a read-only system partition and Click packages. You will still need to phablet-flash to get updates to the Android parts.
4. There won't be a separate Software Center app for Ubuntu Touch, instead you will have app discovery, purchasing and installation from the Unity Dash itself via the Apps lens. This is waiting on the arrival of Click packages and the associated Scopes.

Thank you very much! It makes me happy to read that. I was fascinated by how far they came in such a short time and how fast the system grows to a perfect OS. I'll give it a try when I'm back
2. Network? 3G-Data too? I heard it doesn't work yet.
3. Read-only system partition? Does this mean i can't do EVERYTHING i want with the terminal like i can on my laptop? But maybe it's better.
I imagine a guy buying an Ubuntu-Phone, playing around with the terminal and deleting everything with a single command :laugh:
4. So this means: If I have internet-connection, i can simply search for the app i want and it will find it? like in the dash on the desktop? that's a nice idea! I just expected a software-center because I saw a guy on youtube developing it.
But I found some more questions for you :
I heard, that the twitter-app was cancelled because of twitter. Can I still download it somewhere or do I have to wait until they make a new one?
Do some Apps like GMail work?
And the most important question:
Where can I follow the development-process? I already joined "Ubuntu App Developers"-Community on G+, but they only post about apps.

2. mobile data works on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, I don't know about any other phones.
3. Read-only system partition will be the default, Click packages will install into a read-write user space. Enabling developer mode will set the system partition to read-write as well and give you apt again.
4. Yup, whether it's installed or not, on the phone or on the desktop, you can always find your apps in the Dash.
5. I don't think there was ever any code written for the twitter app, but you can bzr branch lp:ubuntu-twitter-app (same with lp:ubuntu-facebook-app). We still ship the Twitter webapp in the default device image, and that's the one Twitter wanted people to use.
6. The GMail webapp works, yes.
7. Come hang out in #ubuntu-app-devel and #ubuntu-touch on Freenode IRC. Last week, this week and next week we're picking one app per day to focus on with new contributors, so it's a great time to get involved: http://developer.ubuntu.com/2013/07/announcing-the-ubuntu-core-apps-hack-days/
