[Q] Using iOS on an android phone

I have an android phone and all my freinds have iphones with games center and ios specific apps; when they play games together I cant because I dont have game center. is their a way to run ios on my phone or is their a way to get iphone apps on my phone
iOS cannot be installed on Androids, but i think reverse is possible. Also, you can get iOS look on your android through launchers and apps, like Espier Launcher, QQ Launcher is also good.
You can try Espier launcher
I think it was the more realistic
get an iphoney then
There is already a thread in the off topic section which explains how to install iOS on ANY android smartphone.
I would post a link but xda app keeps forceclosing

i didn't know that it was possible to port iOS to android phones ?
any link to that thread ?
Take your android phone and place it in the toilet. Do your business, and there you go
Honestly, depending on your device you can sell it and use the proceeds toward an iPhone

[Q] Help me get started with making apps

Hi!
I only got 10 posts on this forum and I'm kinda new to coding stuff, but I got experience with rooting, flashing, and theming. Just so you know I'm not all noobish to Android.
Now to the point. I have a great idea for a launcher that I came up with (not sure if I should share it with you guys). I want to base it on the stock Jelly Bean launcher and it will have some UI mods/changes.
I DON'T have any experience with Java yet though.
It would be very kind if someone could give me a few tips or something to get me going. I followed a guide on developers.android.com where you built a simple app that shows a message when you write something and hit Send.
So please help me to get started with developing apps.
Many thanks

Thanks mate, thanks for taking your time.
More tips are welcome For example, can I mod the stock JB launcher and publish it without getting sued, and where can I get it to import it into Eclipse?

Yes you can mod the stock JB launcher and publish it without getting sued, that's the beauty of Android and it being opensource is you can take an application like the stock JB launcher and modify and change it to your hearts content.
Searching around a little more these video's might answer more of your questions:
How to make your own android launcher / program your own custom launcher
How To Retrieve The Source Code From A Compiled Android .Apk Or Application

[Kernel & Rom] Build Scripts [12-6-13]

**Mods move this if it is posted in the wrong section**
So I've been building kernels for about a year now and recently started building my own CM11 roms. I made a series of scripts that might help other users out there get started in building. Keep in mind, these scripts might have to be slightly modified to work on your computer. Post any feedback or questions you might have about how the scripts function! Hope they help. :laugh:

VERY COOL! I always wanted to try building a ROM and I think this will help a lot!
very helpful in my learning curve thanks op
@johnblundon whats up bro, any 4.4 theme chooser goodness?
Glad to hear you guys find it helpful. It took time to learn how to build and it became redundant looking at websites to do the builds so I made the series of scripts. If anyone wants help shoot me a pm and I'll try to help ya

Newbies To Android Development Should Start Here!

Hello! I am a newbie to android development and want to study developing android applications. I found 2 best sites where you can easily study coding.
One of them is Codelearner. It is in simple language made for newbies. You don't want to sign up for studying from there. Another one is Codeschool. It is very great too. You can study Ruby, Java, HTML/CSS and IOS. If you become premium member you can access more courses but a regular account is enough for studying android developing(coding) and IOS(If you want). Great for developing good apps.
There is an android apk which can also give some basic info but you have to go through it and you have to self study. The app is AIDE. It is mainly build for developing apps( Android IDE ) but you can study some basics too. When you open the app, you can see some app names for studying, you can start with making Hello World! app. When you make go to whole files and study the content. If you didn't understand any command, just search it in google or post here.
I believe I helped you. Please spread the sites and app to all.
Kindly,
MZ
wow I liked your suggestion man I was searching for a nice site for learning too
Some guides by Matt Luedke , I found a few days ago : Make Your First Android App: Part 1/3 | Make Your First Android App: Part 2/3 | Make Your First Android App: Part 3/3 . You can save it as a pdf file for offline reading.
Kindly,
MZ
Thanks bro... Good info

Codecademy seems to be good too.

Codecademy is nice for small exercises and practicing syntax, but honestly it isn't too useful if you don't have good programming fundamentals. I recommend it as supplementary material, but if you're really looking to understand how to code I'd look elsewhere.
thanks
Thank you very much

[q]What programing skills do i need for compiling android from source

Hello i would like to make my first steps as an android developer..i know this **** is difficult and i know you should learn many staff about os stractures etc and of cource a good understanding of some programming[c java]... but i am intrigued by those things[i am also starting my studies about programming in university] but i dont know where to start and what exactly should i learn to have a good understanding about android and be ready to start compiling. building and porting android source to some devices[i know it will take some time but i dont care as i really like programming ]
[ i know some basic stuff about roms kitchens logcat porting and i have really basic level of programing skills [ but i suppose that is not enough]
The only skill required for compiling a rom is reading. There are thousands of tutorials about how to do this.
Porting ROMs to different devices will require some more skill, I think most of the difficulty is in the C part although I personally don't have experience with this.
Most important thing is java
if you successfully compiled ROM and found bugs like FC
you will find it very hard to fix
learn java then continue and then follow the guide by @jackeagle and his awesome team

Yup
But you must don't forget
android 50% of it is apps
Java required for help in fixing bugs in your ROM
For example if you have FC while choosing an option in settings
What you should do ?
Let's think a bit
Settings at the it is an apk file
apk = android app = written with java = can fixed with java
don't go to final phase fast
Start from zero and learn Java and then you can start with ROM development
and then Learn c/c++ then start with kernel development
Do that and make your life easier
you will find that hard a bit in the begins (nothing easy in this life and nothing impossible)
but at the end you will find your self an expert
Hit thanks if i helped you
