Hey, all.
I have created a blog to keep track of my progress on building Android 2.2 for the Nook Simple Touch.
Although you may or may not be interested in this specific device, I could use your insights from experience with other devices!
Thanks in advance for the info here and in the university. I am sure it will be very helpful.
just picked one up myself, if you are really going to build something i will be happy to test.

Looking at the charts and design images at your blog, I am willing to chip in and help you with hackeries too. Quite newbie in Android scene but can find my way out. Please update us as soon as you came up with something.
Anythink cooking ?
Recently purchased my NST(glow) ... rooted and android layer enabled.

Hi everyone,
I've been looking into getting into the Android Smartphone family for a while now and recently picked up the Sony xperia X10 from Rogers.
Id like to help out with development on this phone but I understand we have yet to crack the bootloader in order to run our own custom rom, if Im not mistaken the problem that we are facing right now is finding a way to crack the 1024 bit key used to the sign the original SE rom?
Getting this key would be vital in signing our own version of the rom and tricking the bootloader into letting us through?
I've read about rooting the phone, although I have yet to do it(as im trying to read up on all the current research but there are many threads) before I start trying to develop
I recently graduated with Computer Science and would really like the experience in mobile development, so Im wondering if someone can point me in the right direction maybe a thread I may have missed or overlooked to some tools that can be used into getting any dumps that we need , or a general area to start reading and feeling out the lower levels of this phone.
At any rate id definitely like to try to contribute to a solution, maybe even help in finding an alternate way in booting a custom rom
Thanks in advance

Hello,
When you say you would like some experience in mobile development, do you mean specifically low level stuff like cracking or circumventing the bootloader, or general android development including apps?
If you are interested in programming on the android platform, heres a great resource:

Hi James,
Yes I do mean helping with cracking/circumventing the bootloader, I can do android app development with minimal problems as I do a lot of java projects for my current job and so I've been playing around in the android platform and seem to have gotten the hang of things pretty well but that site will be an excellent resource thanks.
Im just going through the custom dev link before your post, trying to see where I can start poking around for the bootloader
So I'm going to try to start doing some dev work. I feel like my programming and hardware background is sufficient enough that I should be able to pick it up fairly quickly especially with some of the tools I've already found.
Question for the existing devs working on the note...
Are you using a tool like Custom ROM Creator Studio or are you doing it by other means? I looked and there doesn't appear to be a book I could read to help me along like I've done in the past with other languages/etc. Are you doing it directly through a linux box? I have a lot of questions as I am beginning this process but for now I have to go off of what I find through google and here. So any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: I'm currently reading through the documentation at source.android.com
If you don't get and responses I would suggest searching in the general forum area of xda, I found good info on developing there when I was thinking about it.

Searching through the general forum now. Finding a lot of device specific stuff, specifically HTC. I'll keep looking though. Thanks for the tip!
Still doing my homework...any teachers that can tell me what homework I should be doing would still be nice
I admire your courage. Best of luck. We need more devs.

I'm setting up my dev environment on my mac now. With some time (and maybe some luck) I can start moving on this. I'm going to have to set up the same environment on my mac at home as well so I can play around there too. I didn't realize that I'd have to set up such a huge virtual machine to do the development on my windows machine. Didn't really want to give up all that space.
I love my note but want that power that those devs have! Back when I was on my Galaxy S II I went nuts trying to find the one ROM that had everything I wanted but could never find that one ROM that suited me. I have to admit that is my driving force for wanting to develop. Obviously I'll be happy to share what I do (if I really am able to do something) and even support what I release because thats what a good dev does
I've been programming since I was 12. Taken some college courses but dropped out because I knew more than the instructors and was bored out of my mind. Ended up with a job at that university! Now I'm just hoping I can pick up the android os like I was able to pick up everything else.
Hey guys! I'm new to the forums, although XDAForums has helped me a lot before, thanks for that!
Anyway, I'm looking for developers, specially programmers interested in joining my small team of devs for a new and innovative concept on an android launcher, something very different from what has been done so far.
We have a few artists already, and conceptualists(such as myself), but programmers seem to be the hardest thing to find, and I know exactly why.
At the moment I don't want to show anything in this thread, however, if someone would like to join, I'd share all the details on what we want to achieve.
This would be a free-time project, however, if you're like me then you can put as much time as you want into it, which is appreciated!
Thank you very much and hope to hear from you guys soon!

Hi I am new to android after years of using iOS. I am interested in rooting my device but I can't find any info on doing so. I'm not sure what gen it is either. I believe it is gen 10. Does anyone have any advice on finding a root? Cheers
same here
Dear humans,
I have this device and found that there is little support for it. Or I might be looking into wrong sections
If anyone has knowledge of rooting this device, please let us know. I really wanted to install some apps that can help it perform better. It goes so slow when apps are installed or just general internet browsing.
Thanks
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about a project where I would need a custom skin for android developed as I want to target a specific group of people with a very easy and simplified version of android like what they do for some linux distributions for elderly people.
I need to understand how feasible this is to go forward with the idea of developing a very custom skin. Even though it will be a very simple interface it might require quite a lot of working and testing. The idea is to choose a hardware base for this what will be consistent across the board.
Could you guys point me in the right direction please?
has anyone ever done something like this?
