Hello guys!
I am new to the LG G2X forums. I have come from the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I was pretty much a rom reviewer and how-to guy on my YouTube channel for them. I just wanted to give a heads up that I will be doing easy-to-follow tutorials and reviews for our phone! If you are not interested then simply do not view this. If you are then feel free to click and stay updated! I also have a variety of reviews, tutorials, unboxings, and more of android, windows, linux, and technology in general! Thanks for reading.

Hopefully some of the more experienced ROM devs can comment here to bring together information for myself and others like me. After all, this is XDA-Developers.
I'm new to Android but not to Java or ROM development (played with WM for years). I'd like to help but I'm not sure from where I should start here. I've got plenty of dev experience (Linux included) and am good at debugging, so I wouldn't mind donating some time to the cause. Are there any references / articles / tutorials you would recommend for getting started with Android ROMs? Perhaps some personal recommendations as far as the best way to have your primary device double as a development device or any other related tips? I don't mind flashing the phone repeatedly to test ROMs as long as I can get back to a good backup relatively quickly without having to spend hours setting up my phone all over again. I'd love to have a stable version of Froyo for our phones and hate simply waiting / depending on others to do all the work... I'd just like to help the process along, however large or small that help may be. Thank you to anyone who can provide some useful resources, my searches seem to only uncover Android application development guides.
Update:
Decad3nce has been kind enough to compile a list of resources regarding Android ROM development which can be found here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696001
(sorry, can't post direct links yet)
I'm not sure how helpful this is just yet, but there is also a thread by djunio titled "Everything You Need to Cook an EVO ROM" which contains a zip file. Inside the 300 or so MB zip file you can find all of the stock Evo img files. This thread can be found here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686351
I am getting a blog set up for guides just like the one you are requesting. I will post about it when it's ready.
I am trying to figure stuff out myself...but no luck.
I mean I've gotten things to flash now, but they don't work yet

Really looking forward to this. Sorry this post adds no value.
I threw together a quick little resource for anyone interested in ROM development(or just on how to mod stuff).
You can find it HERE
That's a great resource, thank you so much! This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for to help me get started on Android. I played with Windows Mobile for years, then went to the Palm Pre, and now am back to my favorite forum with Android. I can quite honestly say this is by far my favorite phone yet, and I can already tell I'm going to enjoy "playing" with the Android OS much more. Thanks again for the resources, Decad3nce.
chuckhriczko, thank you in advance for the blog as well, I'm sure it will also be a great resource and look forward to it!

Not a problem, feel free to add stuff once you learn something that could be useful for other people. Everyone benefits that way.
Thank you very much. I'm new to Android and I would love to learn how make custom ROMS and remove all the crap from the Stock RUU. I dearly prefer Stock Androids directly from Google though.
Hi, I'm new here. Thank you for allowing me to join. I own a group of software companies that create easy to use products, no programming knowledge is needed. Our web site for windows makes apps for android & Apple, no programming needed, and you own 100% native source code! Our app for Mac does the same job. These are popular tools that people love working with, is there a place on this forum I can post links to our products? Or let people know about them? I don't want to violate any rules here. Thanks
Hi @Appbuzzingal.
That's great! Sounds like this website is generally for all Android devices thus you can post it here: Android Software.
If you feel this is a really exceptional piece of software you can PM one of the XDA Portal writers to feature it there. I'd recommend a friend of mine: @eagleeyetom.
Cheers!
Hello, I'm a newer XDA member, and as I have been reading more and more topics and posts, I see that there are quite a few members who do Reviews for stuff, like Phones, Cases, and other accessories, etc. I'm not even sure if I am posting this is the right section, if not I apologize in advance.
My question is how would I get into doing stuff like that? I can make HQ WordPress blogs/sites, and I have experience in SEO, so I could get my site ranked and stuff, and I am capable of making HD videos for the reviews. But is there perhaps a website or companies that offer products for people to review? Im very interested in this.
So if someone could possibly send me a PM with any info they would be willing to share, I would be extremely grateful! Thank you for your time and have a good day.
Hey guys and girls,
I'm pretty new here, and I have just started learning Android development. I am just wondering if there is a section on this forum that is dedicated to software development for Android, or if the site is completely dedicated to items that help with rooting and flashing roms? I tried following a couple links that seemed promising, but they all led to forums that seemed to be focused on development of new roms. If this site doesn't have a section that is for application development, does anyone know of some sites that are similar to this one that might fit the bill. I would really like to find a solid online community of developers to chat with, learn from, and eventually, help, and I really like the look and feel of this site, so I hope there is a section here that is similar to what I am looking for.
Thanks for reading.
Matt
