Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if this question should be posted here, so I'm sorry in advance if I put this in the wrong section. So, I'm getting into hacking by learning Java, C, and assembly. I'm also learning everything I can about Linux and I'm reading the Android Hacker's handbook. I was wondering if anyone can give me advice/suggestions onto how I can port the latest Android build to devices that don't have Android 4.4.4? How would go about doing this?

Hi, I'm not new to Android and I have experience rooting and modding android devices, But I would like to take it a step further. I would like to be able to develop my own Android OSes from AOSP to run on my devices (My goal is to have ICS run on my Photon 4G) but I have no idea where to start. I don't know what KIND of OS Android is Other than Linux or what kind of programming language I should learn in order to be able to port distros to my devices. I understand the basic concepts I just have no idea where to start! Any help would be appreciated and I hope to here from someone soon. =]
TL;DR Summary: What are the beginning steps to being an Android developer for porting the versions to different devices?
Hey guys,
I just got my TF201-CG rooted and am running on Android 4.0.3 (9.4.2.11 firmware) and I was wondering if there's a way to get some compiling tools (gcc, make and etc.) installed on Android so I can compile software directly on my tablet.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello and first of all I am completely new at this so any help would be great. I plan on releasing a ROM if I can get the hang of this so please don't complain that I'm just a noob trying to do something he can't.
Second this is my first time in development for Android and I have been experimenting with the SDK but I was wanting to know some questions first.
One is that how to I get the x10 specific add-on for the SDK since Sony Ericsson is gone the page that used to have it is now gone. Second is there any special things to compile the rom?
Sorry for the very noob sounding questions but I am completely new, my main reason for this is a learning thing. I want to learn for college and other reasons and I decided to make my project developing for the x10.
Thanks for help in advance.
go to chef central...
over there u can find a lot of cheff...
or search for "APKTOOL" and "android kitchen"
tool for decompile and more
Thanks, I'm searching the internet furiously for documents and other information, my first goal is to simply compile a stock android rom and get it working once I figure that out I'll work on learning to how make custom roms.
hey guys, I have learnt how to use Kitchen and got a successful rom! It is just another build of the default SE rom but it means it works.
My only question here is now do I get the system from stock android and replace the SE ones with it? I don't want to start removing things in case it doesn't work.
Hello, i wanted to learn more about developing android ROMs, Porting to other android versions, porting Firefox OS maybe. So i Bought a very cheap chinese tablet which cost $50, and i want to start meddling with it in some experiences.. i just needed some directions where to go..
First i wanted to know how to make a dump of my current android so i can restore it in case i need.
I already rooted the tablet, it is running android 4.0.4.
then i want to start trying to port it to Jelly Bean. i know i need some drivers but just getting a booting version will do for me. i looked at the Android AOSP about build instructions, but there was only instructions how to build for nexus devices, not an "generic build" i can build upon.
I looked at other site that gave me different instructions but i believe that they are for porting roms other than compiling from source.
Any light on this path is appreciated, thanks
There is no need to make such useless threads directly search xda and read and learn there are dozens of threads stating the tut.
Or directly go to chefs centrel
Rather than creating mess.
Hope u understand.

Hello,
can anyone suggest an android porting of GLIB? I need glib because I'm trying to build libqmi.
I need to build it inside a platform build (so, no need for a build using the NDK).
It seems that there are some portings out there, but I wonder which is the most used among xda developers...
This is probably a question that should be done in the development forums, but since I'm a noob I'm not able to open new topics there...
Regards,
Daniele
