if you are developing for phones you should use the stock kernel of your phone as base. if you want to build android for an intel based notebook, the newest "normal" linux kernel should be your choice.
Not sure if he means the actual kernel for android or if he is asking which LInux version is best to install for his development environment.
If you mean the latter then you can't go wrong with ubuntu/xubuntu/linux mint. Many people go with Xubuntu/Ubuntu 12.04. The only difference between those 2 is what the desktop looks like. I recommend following a guide like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355078

Does that mean that with that kernel you can run Android programs in like Ubuntu? Because that would just be awesome.
Many apps are there for Android but not desktop Linux ( Android is still Linux ).

Ubuntu for Android has been out for a few weeks, but I think this new kernel will allow easier programming between Android and Linux....
easier crossprogramming and easier porting of new features / fixes between linux and android kernels

Yes but we can not get it. They didnt release any source code yet. In ubuntu for Android you can indeed open Android apps in ubuntu.
But what about on Ubuntu for pc's? There it is not possible.
3.3? Cool I thought the higest avalible is 2.6....

When you say been out for weeks, can you install it? It seems like its still being developed and will come out later this year.

if you're looking to compile only jellybean and future builds, ubuntu 12.04 will be fine.

Hello, I'm searching for totally clean ROM. That means ROM builded from source code without any improvements or Google Edition ROM. Is it possible to build this ROM? And what do I need? And what cloud be barrier? Thanks for reply.

I dont have any problem with CM. But I think that it is a little bit unstable. I don't know anything about android development, but at first I think that it works like windows or linux. You have OS and drivers and together it works well. Where is problem with build clean android rom + add drivers?

It's not exactly like you said. And for clean rom, its name is AOSP. And when our CM will be bugfree also an AOSP rom, or like you name it a clean rom, will be available.

great. So now I'm waiting for AOSP rom. Can I donate somebody for support in development?

We'll have to wait until the androidarmv6 team can modify the legacy msm7x2x code for Android 5.0. Google has removed legacy msm7x2x code since ICS.
Guys dont search for miricals. The best rom for this phone model so far is optimus nexus me v6 by todonormal. Just search it in forum. If you want the latest version of android just buy a new one. They have better qualifications and hardware. Anyone who wants information about flashing root and others just read carefully older threads from this forum.

You Can't Simply Install ROMS on Just By Seeing The SOC Only.. .. There Are So Many Custom ROMs for MT6582 You should See The Kernel & Stock ROM of That Particular Device .. For Example Iam On MT6592 Running 4.4.x As Stock ROM With 3.4.67 Kernel & A Device With Same Kernel & Stock ROM But its MT6582 in That Case it Can Be Cross Ported & Used .. But When , The SOC is The Same(6592),Stock ROM is the Same(4.4.x) But the Kernel is 3.10.54 ..You can't Do That Even When the SOC(6592) is the Same as You Said ..it Can't be Done .. You need to see the Other Things Too(Kernel Especially) ..

sorry for asking too much question but I need to know so I won't have brick.
it says I don't need kernel while the other comment says I have to have the same kernel version.

I don't really know how much the version matters. For example, I have never gotten a ROM built for the 2.6 kernel to run on my device which uses a 3.1 kernel version even though they both use the same SoC. However, I have gotten ROMs for kernel version 3.4 to run pretty fine on mine which is kernel version 3.1. Some will work and some will not. If you are going to try porting your own ROMs then its important to not be afraid of getting bricked...that happens. Porting is mostly trial and error until it works.

ok if I understood correctly Soc=processor.
kernel is the 3.4.67 version.
but do I really need stock? I mean I want to change my android version to 6.0.1.
I don't really understand what stock means but of what I understood stock is the companies rom? I don't want another android 4.4.2 kitkat I want 6.0.1 marshmellow.
XD sorry for so many questions. but thank you a lot for helping me

Yes by Soc he means processor. Stock refers to the ROM your phone came with. If you want marshmallow, find another mt6582 device that is similar to yours which has M and try porting using the guide I pointed you to some posts back. The kernel you would use in this case is the kernel from your stockrom. You would of course need to modify it's ramdisk to try and get M to boot. As I mentioned before, it is trial and error and when doing this you must not be afraid of a brick.

There are existing roms for your phone including CM12.1. See here. In you wanna diy then you'd need a tool to extract the ramdisk from the boot.img. I use Carliv Image Kitchen, it's available here on xda. You also need a tool like notepad++ to edit the files inside the ramdisk (init.rc and the rest). The idea is to compare the two and make changes to yours based on what's in the other (boot.img from the ROM you are porting) ramdisk. As I said, it's trial and error. If your device is really similar to another device as in they're basically identical twins then you can simply replace the boot.img with yours and modify build.prop to fit your device and you are good to go. But that's only if your devices are very very similar...like the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 they're basically the same device with some differences in their kernels hence you replace the boot.img in the ROM you are porting with one from your stock (modified accordingly of course).
