Hi everybody i was wondering if there was any developer that could help me learn how to develop some roms and stuff for the sgs4g i really want to help. I'm 14 help me please need step by step instructions!!
mods delete please
another clutter prone to happen.
dear ssh678.
even though your ambition is highly admired, there are rules & regulations you need to read prior to posting.
this is probably what you're looking for.
~cheers
That thread is a dead end. What exactly are you trying to do? I can help you a little bit.

Yeah, plus Linux is awesome anyway

well knowing how to read configure and install via source helps along with compileing kernels.. Hince why linux exp is a major plus
You need either Linux or a Mac to build from source anyway

I'm gonna hijack the thread since the OP is taking too long to reply.
I have some experience with Linux. Programming experience with HTML, Javascript, PHP, Java and C/C++.
Any tips?

You'll wanna learn Java, specifically, Object Oriented Programming. Stick to one of the more popular Linux distributions since it'll be easier to get your computer set up and deal with driver problems and the like. For now, maybe Ubuntu would be your best choice.
Come on, don't blame on me,but do you have any ideas of Linux otherwise this will be a thread with only HOW-TO install Linux and how to fetch repo and mod them to destroy the main reason they were build. TO WORK ON YOUR PHONE !
I don't want to be rude! Im only think that it is senseless to learn first android devin, when you never used Linux befor :/

Hey all again
Don't know if this goes here or in Development. So I'll just post it here and if I'm wrong, please move it
Got another question (just curiosity XD). And it's: How to port another devices Rom? For example, how to build cyanogenmod from source to make it compatible with G3?
I know C, Java, a little (very little) of asm and others languajes. But I really want to learn how to do it. Have looked it up on google, but I can't find anything "actual" (All I find is for Hero o G1 xP)...
Of course, I don't expect someone to explain it to me, but with a simple guide or something to "give me an idea of how to do it" It'll be great
Thanks in advance.
Doesn't anybody know how to compile or port a Rom to G3?
I'd really like to learn..
dude if it would hav been that easy..our devs would hav already ported it by now..
havent come across any such guide as to porting..it's only that one can learn from devs by asking how to and sharing knowledge
EDIT: I'd really like to learn too..
well, i dont know about compiling from source but PORTing... just take the features you want and mod them to froyo

How exactly do you "take" the features you want and "mod" them to Froyo?
I got a reputation for stupid questions. XD
Well it's damn complex and tough to PORT roms and so only people like marcell, hill beast, apollo5801 are able to port. Even don't know and i would love to learn. But u need to to more than just Java. U also need to know how the android system works.
BTW hey jazux. Where were u? I read that ur g3 was for repairing.

Marcellusbe is already porting cyanogenmod and has made very good progress. He still has quite a way to go so maybe you can help him somehow with your knowledge.

ROFLMAO !!!
Porting involves replacing the drivers/libs of other devices roms with our rom and flashing them. Easy to say but theres alot more to do. Well the basic thing is getting the drivers to work though.

i learned how to compile from source using a guide in marcellusbe's cm7 thread.
also go to cyanogen wiki and there is a guide. one specific to our device is not available but instead u can use the same guide on the wiki for galaxy s2 or somthing. if u need help pm.

I was just wondering do you need to be running linx to do any type of developing or can you use a windows based pc?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
1. it depends what you are trying to do.
Theming is going to work fine on PC.
if you want to build something, you're gonna need Ubuntu.. Preferably 10.04(LTS)
if you set up your build environment using Cygwin you can use windows to develop on
If you're gonna be trying to build ROMs/kernels from source though, you might wanna do it on either OS X or Linux.

it differently does simplify it just a note ONCE U GO LINUX you wont go back to win anything lol..
I think ill leave it up to you guys to dev i would love to learn but cant afford the new hardware so keep up the good work guys.
You don't need new hardware. Linux runs on everything.

Hi, I am interested in starting some custom ROM work for our device. I am just looking for a little bit of direction on where to start. I understand things are a bit more complicated with our locked bootloader, but I know there is still a lot to be done. What are some good places to start tweaking performance? How about graphics and theming? if there is anything else I should know that would be great. I am not an extremely experienced programmer, but I have some experience and I am fairly comfortable tweaking system stuff. Lastly, Is there any way to get an emulater going for the A2? this would be very helpful for development to save the pain of boot loops and errors on our real device. thanks for everyone's help! Hopefully our development will take off for this phone once we get the bootloader bypass working or get it fully unlocked.

You'll also need a ROM kitchen to decompile ROM's, or you could just extract the zip and rezip... only problem is that if you make any major changes you need to write a new updater-script...
Hi,I want to learn kernel development at any cost. .if any any developer is ready to teach me or help me can PM me.
I will donate for his teaching and hardwork. . .Please help me i am really damn interested on android development....By the way i am a fast learner too
I would donate more than enough. .PLease Help me
Thanks In Adavance
You can start with installing Linux on PC.
On XDA some good tutorials are also avalable on Kernel Dev. Search.

yeah i know how to setup source files and toolchains. .I want to learn the kernel in depth
start here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source
it will teach you the commands and other improtent things. read about building linux kernels because they are basicly the same google is your friend.
Will it works for CM kernel or any GB kernel.

I think the way of following is similar but if you want cm7 kernel you have to download cm7 kernel source code if you need stock kernel download the kernel source code for your device
if i am wrong please correct me

the configuration of the kernel will determine what it is for, you can take htc source and build a cm7 kernel or vice-versa, you just need to make sure the config is correct for cm7 or sense or whatever you are building for, aosp/miui/cm7 use basicly the same configurations, sense, or other manufacturer made software can require special configuration.
you can pull the .config from your device as a starting point also make sure you use the gcc-4.4.0 toolchain when you build.
if you need more help you can pm me and if i can help i will
good luck

No, don't use fedora, 9/10ths of the dependicies are Debs/apt-get, and don't translate over to rpm based distros without an absurd amount of work...

Why not? I'm using with success CentOS to build Android. To build kernel you can use any distro without problem. I think that is possible even with windows with Cygwin but I'm afraid to try haha.

anyway, i want to be able to contribute to xda

Linux is needed to build from source. If you are going the source building way. Let me know, I can tell you what you need.
Or you can download stock ROM's and mod them. Port ROM's from around the area, good start too.

if i were you, i would start with porting. the easiest ROMs to port are AOSP based CM7. make sure the devices are at least similar to each other, the HTC Desire HD would be a good start. don't even try Samsung Galaxy to this phone, the structures are too different from each other, and porting that would take a long time.
so read and search around the forums, make sure you read as much as you can read, and don't hesitate to refer back to the guides and posts by other users if you don't understand. and of course, there are people on this board (such as myself) who are more than willing to help you out with troubles and any further questions.
Good luck!
