need information where to start learn android or guidance

Hallo everybody,
Im noob, and i wanna learn about android. I don't have background as programer. I just like this stuff and wanna be able to create my own ROM and hopefully i can involve in the development of android. Now i just know little bit about android. I still confuse with some term in android. I can understand the definition, but I confuse with like recovery and backups which i think like duplication.
Does anyone know where can i start and where? I really appreciate your suggestions.
As a start now i have Samsung galaxy s ready to flash.. (Sorry if the term wrong)
Can anyone help me with information? please
thanks

for me UPDATES!!​
This is not a real MOD its a Zip-Mod !
Nothing u did need a new thread sry but anyone who can see your "ROM" can see how to Remove SystemApps.
Please delete this. Useless Thread.
So, all you've done is remove apps? Everyone can do that anywhere now we have S-Off.

This is all I do with every rom before I flash it. All you have done is delete some apps. What have you modded?

Like 20 other Roms here in the "DEVELOPMENT" section.. ZipMods-Modder are teh real developer -.-

no need to be harsh on the guy. Just because someone has the savvy to flash a rom doesnt mean they have the knowledge or confidence to remove apps. Hes sharing his version of the auraxtsense rom for those type of people and they may appreciate it.

Well Catus i`m people like them.I grew into this forum slowly...took the easiest way.Last few days i`ve felt bold enough to put S-OFF on my Desire and used ADB to change my splash screen.
The reason i did that was because of all the helpful posts in this forum.
I am totally impressed by the willingness of the experts on this forum to lend a hand to the newbies. You Sir do not impress me at all.

You berate yourself incorrectly because it looks to me you're not people like that. You've investigated and searched and researched. Zip-Roms like this compound the issue of people not bothering to do any of that.
I'm more than happy to help people. When they help themselves first. I'm sick and tired of people who can't use the search function, and asking what OJ means, or whether you can stick the Sense camera on an AOSP Rom. Not reading posts properly and thinking S-OFF is some magical system that does anything exept full R/W access. People like THAT is who that comment was directed at.

Ok Cactus i`ve you had expanded your oneliner i would have understood your grouse better.I`ve never asked for help in this forum..i`ve read and learned.
why do people argue over nothing?
if no one uses the rom then the thread will die by itself.
useless comments and 'vote to delete' do nothing.
so RELAX
I don't see peterfeter has any bad intention, he gave full credit to Neophyte.x360 and he merely shares the things he did.
While he's not a real developer who knows a lot of things, I've checked the forum rule and apparently he did nothing wrong to violate any of the rule. So I don't understand why he deserves such bashing.
If you don't like it, then ignore it, simple as that
Thx. Good job. Dont mind bored guys

Why are people bashing PeterFerter? He only has good intention to share...
He is not asking for Donation, for thanx, or for recognition
Everyone has to start from somewhere.
This qualifies as a mod, anything that's different to the original is isn't it?
Will you prepare this mod for newer version of ATS ?

bashing this guy sucks
i agree with others on this thread. dont bash this guy. what actual harm has he done. he's not made any untrue claims and if anything he's inspired untechnical people like myself to have a little delve beneath the surface. I may have a look at this rom myself and do a MOD.
This has inspired me to try some editing myself. But without luck, so if you do a zipmod, you just add or remove files from data/app/ and system/app/ ? Is that all? Been trying but I get an error everytime I try saying that a file is missing. Are there a list of files + directories that i verifys with before installing? Been searching the web for answers but I only found guides on how to make a ROM from the start.

I know its a little bit heavy, but to mod ROMs I always use
[KITCHEN][OCT. 3 '10] HTC Android Kitchen, v0.100 [Linux / Mac / Windows]
The kitchen will unzip the ROM you want to mod, you change/remove/add what you want. You can sign new apk files, zipalign the apps and create a flashable ROM.
EDIT:
And thanks to peterfeter to publish his ROM. Ignore the jealous ignorant people posting bad things in your thread. You have done a good job and it is good that you share it. I plan to release my mods soon as well. It will be a mod of an existing ROM with some special apps and settings for Japan/Softbank users.
Thanks alot BeeGee! I will try it out!

how to make custom roms or themes

So, there are so many people making really good roms now. even i want to try now
So how do you start cooking roms? or start making themes?
What software is needed? Do you need eclipse? Do you just need a file manager and an unzip utility?
Has anyone created a tutorial on cooking a rom?
I have some skill with android, and am pretty good and flashing and stuff, I wouldnt mind adding root a build that I like or taking something else out. Maybe add an app to the image, or add an option to my recovery image.
Where do I start?

Request - Rom creation guides

Hello,
I am new to programming for android, but I am a programmer by trade so I have a basic knowledge of programming and code.
I was wondering if there are any guides / help / tutorials for creating custom roms? I am not looking for someone to post everything and do the work for me, but I would appreciate any help that someone could give me. Even if you can just point me in a good direction I would really appreciate it.
I have a simple guide in my signature titled noobs guide to theming and porting ROMs.

To start, you do what OEMS do also. Download source from Google, then tweak the living hell outta it.
You know how to read code? Start changing it around and seeing what happens. Then build off it. Compile and learn from the errors it craps out. Lather, rinse, repeat.

That's what I have been doing, but I was looking for something a little more......... thorough. Thanks for the encouragement though! :highfive:

Hey man since i'm basically in the same boat here's what i've been doing after you compile the google one from source then compile the S3 one and look over them then find out how to make it odinable/ cwm flashable just for starters.

Questions for noob about themeing

Ok, I've been trying to do as much research as I could before asking any questions but I still have some questions (that I feel I should've been able to google but haven't had luck)...
[Q]I want to start making some of my own themes for personal use and I've read that you don't have to resign systems APKs but my question is, how do I know which APKs are system APKs, is it all the ones in /system/app or??
[A] I will find out by trial and error
[Q]Also, I'm using CR 2.5 which is an ODEX ROM, do I have to do anything special with .odex files or can I just do what I want to the APKs?
[A] deodex it first then theme it, thanks Google.
[Q]our GS3 is xhdpi right? So does that mean I don't need to worry about all the other *dpi folders in res?
[A] I will assume this until finding out by trial and error
Sorry for these Noob questions, I feel like I should have been able to find answers with google and tutorials but I haven't, so I really appreciate all the help I get!! Thank you in advance!!
[EDIT]
Double sorry, I just realized there is a sticky for theming questions so I can move my post over there if you need me to, just say the word.
Mod please feel free to delete this thread, thanks!!
