Porting - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Where can I get some detailed info about porting? I have done a lot of searching, but with no success. Also, what level if expertise does one need to have for such a task?

There are very clear instructions in the development forums for every rom that is available for our phones. Please read them.

[Q] Help with general development

I would like to start helping with development. I'm getting pretty good with messing around with android. I work for T-Mobile and I've had android since the G1.
I'd like to start contributing to the family.
So my question is pretty open. Where should I start for learning about android development? Any advice and help would be appreciated.

Perhaps I should ask in a general forum. Maybe this isn't the correct place to ask.

What would I need to do if I was to trade this sgs4g for a LG g2x? Trading with a friend not at the store.would we just swap sim cards or what? Reason I'm asking is cause u said u work 4 T-Mobile. Just want to know what I would need to do to put it on my plan and give him mine. Any help is appreciated.

You can swap Sims. That's all you need to do. However the warranty will be under him still. If you have insurance, it will cover the G2x. But you wont have the warranty.

Android Visual Development

Hi All,
Is there any way to develop ROMs using software like VISUAL STUDIO/
Thanks!
I'm asking because I am not so good in Coding
Did you try the currently available tools? I feel that open source tools for development in Linux or cygwin are usually only text based.

Can you please provide me the link which you are talking about?
Thanks!
I am still waiting for someone to help me out ....
you can google for "UOT Kitchen". I haven't tried, but I heard you can make your own ROM online using the tool.
if you want to build from scratch, you need to know a lot about programming. and I don't think there is an integrated visual tools for that.

What are some of the easiest phones to make ROMs for?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I'd recommend to start with a popular phone which has been released about 1 year ago and is still supported by many developers and the manufacturer.
Press Thanks if I helped you

Are any brands easier than others (Samsung, Motorola, htc)?

Cool considering you can only "build" roms from source. They are all the same pretty much. Will need to learn some Linux and java.
