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.

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 :/

hate to say it he does have a point with 0 prior experence u might wanna start learning linux first and foremost and work from there
Yeah but this thread is a good idea for people who are halfway there and want to learn

never said it wasnt
i can only use odin or cwm to install some roms. can anyone help me out with this case? coz i really dont know anything bout SDK etc..
That's kind of the point,
LB hasn't built a flashable package yet so that people who don't know what they are doing don't mess something up, then start complaining about certain known things not working. If you had read his op and the running thread you would know this.
Wait until its complete, it will eventually be available to everyone, but only when it is 100%
If you can't build it yourself, then it is not meant for you to be running and testing it.
Infused with gingerbread **** thanks GTG465X

I 2nd this reply, not exactly how I'd put it but there's nothing worse than flashing or modding something we don't know much if anything about besides the fact that we heard its cool.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Yup. The whole idea is that if you are unable to build from source, or at least find the place where flashable releases are available, then you probably aren't ready to be running CM7 and deal with the "glitch 'o the day".
gtg465x learned a hard lesson in this regard with Infused v2.
This is my first android and I had never touched Linux before. But I read and read and read and did it myself. I think lb just wants to see how many people can really read. Lol

thank yall. i realy need to learn much2 more. if sum 1 can xplain me step by step. i appriciate that
He has a walk through for building it on his thread in the dev. section. You need to have linux to do it though.
What current phone under at&t has the most developing going on?
I upgraded from my Xperia x10 which had awesome development to the atrix 2 and the dev scene is not great .I'm a flashaholic and love changing my phone up so I'm considering buying a new one.question is which one?

HTC inspire has pretty good development going on. I have that phone besidesthe ATRIX 2. Im a flashaholic too and I flash like crazy on that phone waiting and hoping development picks up for this phone! Kinda upset I got rid of my of ATRIX. Cause now a lot of development is goin on for that too.
The Inspire is old, though.

Im pretty sure the phones with the BEST development and going to be kinda old...
My vote would be either the international SGSII or one of its variants (I have i777 and things always seem to be booming over there).
Go get a Samsung phone, whichever is the latest one that AT&T has. They always have a TON of developers.
You know on the other hand you could just put in some time and learn and get some great ROMs in the process, lfaber06, cogery, and myself could really use the help, and it really is not all that hard, if you know anything about phones and flashing, and some about computers.
There is a thread in the development section on the tools needed to do this.

I would love to learn more about development, but at 52 it's all a bit overwhelming at times. I may have to find something in the 250.00 dollar range and try though.

I replied to your PM with everything you need to do...
I want to take a shot at theming, or possibly ROM development, but where does one learn this stuff? I can't seem to find any guides for theming or ROM development; not even a "start here" thing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
The only thing I've been able to find that may help me is within some droid forums, but I'm worried that I'll learn all that and come to find that it won't even work with the SGS4.

I can tell you that for me it was google helping me. Not to mention u gotta setup ur android sdk for starters
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Thanks for the reply, Erik! Yeah, google is my friend. So, is it safe to assume that when it comes to theming and ROMs, that it's pretty much universal? I have the Android SDK and JDK, but when it comes to actually messin' with the guts of it all, is it all done the same? Like, are there any tools that get the job done easier that apply to all devices? For example, the APK multi-tool and ABD stuff?

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!
