[Q] Help with general development - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

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.

@stevekixs, I am with you... I'm looking to help anyone who is currently on this path. I keep reading how we need more devs for the SGS4G. If you find a project which is needing help, let me know, please.

I got booted last night from the irc server for using a nick that belonged to someone else and i didn't know it. Otherwise, I would have been testing it by now.
I hope someone else got it last night.

Im gonna ask that this not take place. Its one thing to have 1 or 2 testers, this way if something goes wrong, its an easy fix. It's another thing if there are 15k testers and you have each one telling you something different.
these 1-2 testers are what we call a select testing group. It makes it a lot easier to QA.
Though we appreciate this post, it's not needed. We have our testers.

Since I can't post in the dev forums, I have to try it here. I'm following instructions on how to install CWM beta on my SGS4G but I'm stuck at the very beginning. I can't replace the recovery bin in the system/bin folder. Tried it with both Droid Explorer and Android Commander, they both say it's done but it's still the same old file in the directory. Tried replacing, renaming, deleting, ... all with no avail. Phone is rooted with SuperOneClick. What am I missing?
do i need to know how to use adb or is odin just fine?... if there's a quick guide for adb i can get my hands... i'm in!

What were trying to do is gather every themer, tester, and developer, or person who is seriously interested in doing so. It's ultimately your choice but it would help us gather info regarding who's in or who's out.

I don't mind testing, as long as it's not bootloaders or something that'll completely **** my phone over. ^^
I'll probably start dev'ing once I learn though, I've always wanted to do something like that.

Actually a correct response to your question was given, you will get proper attention in the correct sub forum as this is not a "development" related question/thread.
Besides that with the way you are responding to people I would be surprised if anyone helped you at all.
You posted this "request" in the incorrect forum, you are trying to be guided to go the the proper area to make such a request so you can get helped, then you reacted the way you did, not a good way to start.

He would, probably because he's interested in developing for it, and he is looking for a sgs4g right now. Also, it is pretty cheap compared to other devices, around $100 used on ebay
