[Q] [noob] Motorola (Droid 3) ROM creation - General Questions and Answers

Hey guy, sorry for the post in the general forum, but I don't have enough posts to post in the Droid 3 section of the website. I've been following the threads in there for a couple months now, and I've rooted my Droid 3 and flashed quite a few different ROMs on there, but I was looking into creating my own, or at least starting with someone else's as a base.
I made sure to do a pretty thorough Google search before posting here, but most of the ROM creation guides I've found are pretty device specific. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to write a guide for creating/modding a ROM for the Droid 3, or at least give me some pointers on how to get started
(BTW, I'm a programmer with a bit of experience, but no Android dev experience whatsoever, just giving a point of reference).
Thanks!

Sorry, just noticed the thing about questions going into the Q&A section. This is more of a request than a question, but if a mod feels like it should be moved than feel free to do so. I'd do it myself, but I can't move the post (and since it's more of a request than a question, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to).

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Bump, anyone?

i'm curious to know the same thing, but about the LG Vortex (a CDMA Optimus One Variant)
anyone?

[Q] [Android]: ROM Development

I have been looking around, trying to get a general idea on how to get started in the wonderful world of Android ROM development.
It seems that information is spread out amongst different sources, and that there isn't really anywhere that has all of this information together (to my knowledge at least).
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, and or assist me in any way. It would be much appreciated! ^.^
I have been following stuff here on XDA for a while, and just finally decided to make an account. So, I apologize if this is posted under the wrong section, and/or this question has been asked a million times before. I know how annoying that can be. I searched around before I made this post, so I don't believe I am re asking a common question, unless of course I missed something.
Thank you all!
Here are couple of sources
I think these might help get you started.

Those Links are exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Anyway, I'm glad you've found that, but notice that on future you'll have to make some research to look what you've benn looking for, about certain things at least... you can found tweaks and "how to" on devs general section, but you can also find some in device's forums... there's no one section in wich you'll find all you need while working on a ROM

Noob looking for Latest/Greatest Inspire 4g Rom

Noob playing catch-up, I installed Revolution 6.3.1 with sense 3.0 recently and am wondering if there are newer ROMs to install. I'm enjoying the thrill of the ride and just want to keep up with the latest and greatest. But with all the threads and discussions going on I'm not really looking to read through every discussion board and every thread to find the appropriate topic...if someone could gently point me in the right direction I will willingly follow.
thanks
Noob

Not a good first post. Anyway, go to the development section. That's where all the ROMs are. Don't ask which one is best, unless you like to be abused.
A good hint might be, look at the ROM threads with the most posts and the most recent posts. 5 different people might recommend 5 different ROMs. Admitting you aren't going to do the needed reading and searching isn't a very good first post. Because if you did you would notice that these threads get closed quickly.
i made it in before close!!!! haha
Please understand this is not a Rom support site. This is a Development site. We are here to work on active development.

[Q] New to android development

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum.
I checked some other threads to make sure they don't have the exact criteria that i'm posting and
couldn't find anything, so to the mods, i'm sorry if this has already been discussed.
Please notify me and I will re-route to the correct thread.
I've had an htc aria(liberty, gratia) for the past two years and I rooted it and flashed cyanogenmod but that was the extent of my knowledge.
I've now switched carriers to Sprint and am running a MotoPhoton Q 4g Lte(rooted and custom recovery).
The reason for this post is I've noticed what seems to be a general lack of developers for this device (partially because the stock rom is very efficient), but I would like to start contributing.
I've got plenty of free time and would consider myself generally competent, and i've browsed the android developer's site for app building.
The question I present to the community (particularly developers) is how did you learn the system and get to where you are? What tools did you find easiest to use that also helped you learn the essentials? I would particularly like to develop roms and platforms, but would it be best to start with apps?
I hope my questions were clear and correctly placed, thanks in advance for any replies!
EDIT: this should be in Q&A
Moved. At least you realised where it should be so happy to help
Thanks

Google has a nice training center for sdk & dev, might be a good starting point.

[Completed] New Phone

I know this is stupid...and i may not get any replies over here...
but still giving it a try...
My budget is around 20k (300$), and i needed a phone which i can give it a future update as well. Since Android L is gonna come too, i would really want it in my phone. I'm currently using Huawei Y 200, and it pretty much sucks...! (NO CUSTOM ROMS MADE FOR IT )
so guys please help me out here!!!!!!!!
Hi there,
I'd recommend asking that question in the off-topic section of XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/off-topic
Since it doesn't really regard any form of development or needing a phone to be fixed, it is probably best placed there.
You will find lots of keen XDA users who I'm sure will input and tell you what they think.
Good luck!
P.S: I'd go for the Moto G
Moderator Information,
As stated above phone comparison threads are against forun rules. THread has been closed.
Many thanks,

RGB-settings?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and partially new to android too (haven't been around since the HTC desire was hot) but I'm back in the game with this beauty.
I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I tried searching and found nothing so here goes:
I've been reading that the screens default settings bring a bit much blue to the table, and even though this is not.bothering me much, I'd love to have the settings set properly.
Anyone got any idea what the optimal RGB-settings might be?
I misclicked when making this post, meant to put it in q and a. Not allowed to comment though, due to new user. Please accept my apologies.
Please leave the development section free for development related threads
Questions belong in the Q&A section
Thread moved
Thanks for moving it to the proper section
