Hi,
I have been working as an Android developer since many years, and have recently switched to full time freelance development.
It has not been much time since I joined xda. I landed here while looking for some opportunities and thought of registering here.
Looking forward to connect with you guys, at the same time getting some work too.
Thanks to all

Hey XDA.
That disclaimer video in the forum registration gave me quite the scare. Hope you guys don't eat me alive haha. I made a post on one of the android subreddits on Reddit in regards to android development and was referred here.
I'll try to keep this nice and simple: in short, I want to dive into the world of Android development. Although I don't currently have an Android device, I will have the Galaxy Nexus in hand within a few days, as well as a Kindle Fire (I realize the Fire isn't "open", but more on that later...). I'm a current CE/CS student so I have some background in both hardware and software.
My interest in Android development lies in the actual porting of the OS to new devices (hence, the Kindle Fire); app development is secondary, and after looking through available documentation I don't expect to run into any significant trouble developing apps as I have fairly good experience with Java to boot.
All this in mind, I have very little experience with Linux and lower-level tinkering - the kind required for porting a kernel etc. In addition, I can't seem to find any material to at least get me started. I fear my inexperience and ignorance in this area has me not even knowing what exactly I'm looking for.
My ultimate aim is to help contribute to the efforts of porting Android to new devices - like the Kindle Fire. I've been following some of the threads on XDA on getting ICS over to the Fire and it looks like challenging and interesting work, and I think I would learn a lot from it.
I'm sorry if I've been vague, it is only due to my ignorance. I am eager to learn and am hoping some of the more experienced android devs could help point me in the right direction!
Thanks a lot!
I recently upgraded to another device - and was curious if anyone would be interested in my Eris. It worked great until the day I retired it. I was a longtime lurker on this forum and developed my love for modding and developing because of this forum and some of the devs that were involved. It is rooted and in good shape.
I proudly just released my first app in the Android Market:
MindPush

PM me if you'd be interested in the Eris.
Hi Guys,
i love Android and the things you can do with the awesome OS. But there are always new questions about MIUI, AOSP, How to flash a rom...or which ROM is the best, how to do that and that.
So, because of that i want to start a project which exactly go for this kind of questions.
I'm into android customization for about 4 years and - i think - i also know a lot of technical stuff (it's my job).
The plan for the first few weeks is focus on ROM testing and then continue with customize-how-to's and so on...also developing OR what the community wants.
It's just an idea - i think it would be great to get a few guys or girls together
Cheers
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum, but I plan on developing ROMs with a few people, so I will probably frequent them soon.
In my Operating Systems class, I was asked to come up with ideas for a project. Well, since I'm just starting to build Android ROMs anyways, I was going to see if I could use this idea for class. I guess my question is, do you guys think this would be a good project to last a few weeks of the semester (at least)? If not, can you suggest ways that will make it longer or shorter? We would be building them for a Droid Incredible.
I have a general idea, and it seams that just getting an AOSP ROM up and running would be no problem at all, from what I read anyways. It seems like the tailoring or the importing of ROMs is what really takes time and effort.
Thanks in advance for the input.
It depends on the class skills. But it's really great idea to study Linux and low level Android features. uh.. I didn't have such interesting project during my university years ((
The only big issue is high initial level of knowledge. Also many peoples may quickly give up fighting with some unclear compile or deploy issues. It's not trivial to debug on such devices. They may quickly lost their interest. But overall this is great idea. Where are you teaching?
I'm not actually the professor, I'm a student at Saginaw Valley State University (Michigan). I'm the "Class Leader" so I told the professor that I would give him the list of ideas I had for projects.
If it's for a grade, it might be a good idea then. They may lose interest, but if their grades are on the line, I would hope they struggle through it. Plus, we are all in groups, and they can pick another project if they don't like this one.
Thanks for the info, Purler.
Does anyone know how different it would be to make a ROM for something that requires a mouse input, like the Raspberry Pi?
Hello everyone, I'm Matt and I have been learning Android (java) on my own for the past few years. I had no prior programming experience, or even a clue of what went behind it all. One year, an interest sparked in computers and mainly Android which resulted in me pursuing app development as a hobby.
I want to share the results of my tinkering/learning of Android with XDA. There is still much to learn, and I plan on improving all of my apps. Learning by myself (and the internet of course) has been a long bumpy road, no doubt. For those of you who are interested in app development, do not lose faith and maintain your determination.
