I would start off my learning a lot of the terminology, this includes everything from rooting to flashing. Looking in the "tutorial or development" section of a forum can be very helpful too. Things are constantly changing and being developed, so making sure you are up to date is always good!

Go to Google and search it. You could start by learning Linux.
Writing a tutorial on how to create ROMs on a thread would take so long.

[Q] How did you begin?

"How did you begin?"
A question that is in every Begginer mind like me...
it makes every one wonder very much like:
-How can I design my own custom rom?
-How can I start developing android apps?
So please every developer or an experienced android developer reply writing a way to start or begin something like this..
Thanks in advance for any help..
there are many guides on this forum that teach you how to start creating your own roms , especially for android. I believe most people start by taking a base rooted rom, and tweaking it with different mods to make it their own. In fact many of the "developers" here do just that. Take a base and mod it, or take someone elses base, like CM7 and start playing with it. Look around...
I suggest the same. Just take a base rom and extract it. Have a look at the source and try a few tweaks, add some apps to your rom, try to insert a new theme. Just play around a bit. You will face some "problems" which can be solved by using google. That is called learning I guess
App development: Start learning java and then download eclipse with android sdk and launch your first emulator.
And always have fun with android!

[Q] Android custom ROM development

Hi,
I am new to android ROM development. I searched the forum but could not find anything specific to my requirements.
Basically I need help in the following two things.
1. To make my own custom ROM.
2. To modify the call screen of that custom ROM and tailor it to my own needs.
Additionally i want to know, what is the learning curve of this whole stuff and how much time it will take to complete the above mentioned tasks.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Kind Regards
*My Device is HTC Wildfire S, However initially i want to work and test on the android emulator that comes with the android SDK.
Maybe you could start off with the Android Kitchen by dsixda and a base rom. Break up the base rom and start exploring the structure, make small modifications etc.... This will force you to investigate, search on google, do some trial and error,.... you will learn much more this way....
Also search this forum, it contains a massive amount of info on rom development...
I'm not sure how you can use the emulator to test your rom...

How/where to learn?

How/where do the devs learn and understand all this stuff? Its complicated as hell but I'd love to learn to develop ROMs, kernels, exploits, and all that other stuff

You can take a look at the Android ROM development forums here, that should give you a good starting point on ROMs. If you want to learn more about the actual operating system, you can take a look at the AOSP's resources. It may also help you to learn about YAFFS2, the flash file system that is in use by Android, to learn how Android sorts and stores data.

[Completed] Rooting apps for LGE LGMS659 OS 4.1.2 ARMv7,rev,4 running Dual if there is a differin

I have been trying to learn the rooting process of the LGE LGMS659 Android 4.1.2 v71. And need to seeing I may get someone to help me in understanding how much can be attained from that ability.
I am, like most, to consider myself not well versed of the program languages and the protocols envolved. And I would not like to disrupt my phone. I mean my droid.

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.
