sounds like he wants to try and learn how to develop rom's, with no experience in development. but he's wanting to build a rom for the g2x that incorporates sense3.0? that's what i interpreted.
So someone needs to go to the book store,library, or Google and start reading on Linux, java (more app based from what i read), and other books on code that's used in mobile development
correct me if I'm wrong anywhere in this response.

That's exactly what I am talking about... How many times have you written something like that after someone responds to your posts? I get that you want to do a sense rom for the g2x... It also seems like you want to use others work(and give them credit, of course). Hop on to amazon or head to your local bookstore, there are whole sections about android development...

Expert developers are EXTREMELY challenged to port over platforms from other brands. To think that your going to do it with no experience is never gonna happen. Start easy, download CM source code, try to modify things, and maybe in a few months you can put something out for us. If making a rom was that easy, we would all do it.

Were do I start!!!!

get a book and read.
start with learning JAVA (this is if you have no programming experience)
once your familiar with JAVA and feel comfortable reading JAVA code and writting in JAVA.
then go get a book on ANDROID Development. I found a great book to learn about android development called " Hello Android", by the first 15 pages i had already made a somewhat complete Sudoku app, not out of interest but as this was the lesson in the book i was on.
No one can help you until you want to help your self, not trying to be a dbag but sounds like your wanting someone to walk you through step by step and through previous experience trying to verbally or explain to someone through text on to do something as complex as coding with them having little or no knowledge on the fundamentals and basics is/will be very difficult and frustrating for you and the person trying to guide you.
ps... might not hurt if you learn how to read/write/understand linux as android is based ontop of linux from my understanding

[Q] ROM Development.

I am interested in becoming a ROM Developer for Infuse 4G. I have little(very little) coding experience, But tend to learn fast and grasp concepts easily. Since I'm completely new to all this, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a "How to get started" type of guide with all the necessary development tools I will need. If you could help out I'd be grateful, and I hope to soon contribute to the XDA community. Thank you.

I too am interested as far as i know you need to know java, be familiar with linux and i think C++...but id like to know for sure what is needed
My brother is learning java in college and offered his java book to help me learn-as soon as i get that im gonna begin teaching my self java with a few tips here and there from him but mostly teach myself because thats the way i learn best
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Im up for it too...
i di some porting fot the Captivate and im sure i can take on the Infuse

I'm so pumped to start work on a custom ROM, I love my Infuse 4G would be so much sweeter to learn even more about it too, And to actually see what these guys go through to bring us the latest ROMs and stuff.

You guys really want to learn? You have no idea .... but I will help if I have time...

Ohhh...i can only imagine how hard it is to learn, and then to actually put out a rom after that. Trust me i dont plan on building one anytime soon, this is gonna be more of a slow on going learning process for me...im only 17 so i got time
But your how to thread should help a little bit at least with getting an idea of what the system files look like and the time it takes to edit them.
Dman do you think you can just let me know what i will need to know to make a rom that way i can tackle one thing at a time at my own pace
I know for sure i need to know java, but im only assuming i need to know the following: linux, adb, c++ is that all or am i missing anything?
Other than listing what i need to know, you dont need to help me because i doubt id have the time to keep up with your teachings
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

You need to know adb, notepad++, smali and baksmali, apktool, apkmananger... There are more just to early to think of them...

[ROM] re:Cruitment (in development) AOKP Legacy Stormz ICS 4.0.4

Well Legacy Stormz is a temporary name lol. I have decided to try to develop a ROM my own, but I am looking for a little assistance.
FIRST BUILD WILL BE BASED OFF OF BUILD 37 OF AOKP
Needed currently >>>>>
* A small batch of DEDICATED testers for the first build.
* A custom wallpaper maker/TWEAKER of sorts seeing as I have a somewhat base design
* A few to collaborate with who could possibly up the WOW of the ROM, something I know in my beginning state cannot do.
This will be my first ROM, Port or whatever it is you may want to label it.
I am going to try my best to push out updates to go along with the AOKP Builds
If you are interested please PM me, and let me know exactly what you are interested in doing so I could PM you links and such as they come, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
This is the starting thread so I am not placing Details just yet, but please bear in mind, I have a somewhat flashy imagination and will try my best to allow it to reflect in this ROM and hopefully my and my future teams work will be appreciated

SCREENIES
Gonna grab this lil beauty

CHANGELOG
Gonna save this one too

How bout you let me teach you how to build from source then you won't have these porting issues. Ports are nice when you don't have source, but when you have it, why not use it? If it's going to just be straight AOKP, I have no issues helping.

Well yea Nun that would be greatly appreciated I've been here long enough and would love to contribute in some way.
it would be AOKP but of course with my own touch and what not, maybe I could have a little team together to help with some minor tweaks, so yea that lesson would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

Gents we wanna keep it open the thread? I say yerp...

Would be willing to help with any testing needed.

My question to you is this...
What are you planning on bringing to the table? Wallpapers? Theming touches? Are you planning on providing additional tweaks in you package? What's your plan?
If it's just a unique visual experience, why not focus your pursuit on a theme for one of the ports that are out there?
I will gladly teach you how to build from source...but just really think that a lot of people are jumping onto the "dev" wagon before they have a grasp on what it takes. I guess you will never learn if you don't try...but I think that having a solid grasp on what is needed before you begin is the best plan.
Not trying to discourage...quite the contrary. Just trying to give a little input from a person who has been around the block...once or twice.

(req) miui port

edit: This is now a work in progress thanks a bunch to bdad34 for taking up this project
okay so this phone has been around for a while we have CM7 im wondering any DEV would be willing to port MIUI GB for us i believe that by doing so whoever does this will bring more attention to our phone and help get us more support from the community or atleast help make it a little more active now i know that MIUI v3 is CM7 based and shouldnt be too huge of a problem so too any dev i beg you please please please make a Port for us

I almost got a port from O2X working but it doesnt seem to want to run. its gonna be pretty dificult to do considering no MIUI ROM that has an OMAP 4430 cpu. granted im a very Basic knowledged person when it comes to porting. id love to help to the best of my ability on porting it over if anyone is interested.

Its a nice rom seems still not miui

The basic requirements would be same CPU, same baseband. Best if the wifi, GPS, touchscreen, audio chips are identical also. If not it would be quite difficult since some kernel hacks would be required.

I will give it a whirl
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.

I'm good at reverse engineering stuff. Its how I learned some coding. Tore it apart and saw what happened and learned. Not recommended. Its a slow process.
But I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out. Unfortunately that makes me an awful teacher

Well, the key to learn about everything in the world is to be curious about it. As I've always said, I just do all this things because one day I was curious about it and though "why not giving it a try?" and that is how things start on my life.
Also, I don't think it is good to just stuck to one thing and only work on that since when you are working on something but you feel you cannot get forward by yourself, why stuck there instead of trying something new and maybe learn something new which maybe you could use to fix the first problem? If you don't move on, you'll get frustrated and only then is when you'll abandon the project (does this sound familiar to you? )
Curiosity is the engine of the world guys! If you are curious about something, why not try to make it yourself instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you?
