Android Visual Development - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
Is there any way to develop ROMs using software like VISUAL STUDIO/
Thanks!

I'm asking because I am not so good in Coding

Did you try the currently available tools? I feel that open source tools for development in Linux or cygwin are usually only text based.

Can you please provide me the link which you are talking about?
Thanks!

I am still waiting for someone to help me out ....

you can google for "UOT Kitchen". I haven't tried, but I heard you can make your own ROM online using the tool.
if you want to build from scratch, you need to know a lot about programming. and I don't think there is an integrated visual tools for that.

Thanks and I will look into it

I got to know that there is some software through which we can modify CUSTOMIZED roms as well. Anyone knows about it?

I will appreciate if someone could help me out in this case!
Thanks!

Creating APKs

I need to create an APK that simply is a web browser that's locked.to just my website anyone have any idea how to do it easily and save it as an APK? Please help thanks
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
Hello.
First, you must install Eclipse with the ADT plugins, in the latest version, it will install the android SDK for you. So, you will have all you need in order to start.
Next, you will have to code in Java.
You can look at tutorialforandroid.com, there is a tuto for what you want (sorry, I cannot post direct link because I'm a "newbie" here).
Good luck
not a problem thanks ever so much
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
You're welcome
You may be particulary interested by this tuto:
http://www.tutorialforandroid.com/2009/02/webview-with-zoomcontrols-in-android.html
(yes, I can post link now )
Otherwise look in google for "android webview".
If you want, I can build it for you, just give me the URL and your icon, it's a 5 minutes job
Wow sure thanks dude! My URL is: www.silverbeanandroid.co.uk
And what format should my icon be? Thanks alot
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
This is my icon. If you could take away the white background that would be great (I'm a bit of a noob) but if not its ok. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Here it is.
Sources and APK.
The code was inspired by these tutos:

About Eclipse, install Helios
http://www.eclipse.org/helios/
and next, the ADT plugin
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
Once it have installed the latest SDK, create a new Android Project and choose to create project from existing source, and provide the path where you unzip the provided sources.
It's not so hard at it seems, don't worry.
OK thanks how do I create an android project? And if I was to use your source is there a way of putting a navigation bar at the bottom so you can navigate between 3 of my sites? Thanks and sorry for my noobieness

You can create a new android project in Eclipse like this:
File -> New -> Other ( Or simply press Ctrl + N ), then open the Android map and click Android Project.

The hardest part is getting Java to run correctly. I suggest going to sun's website and downloading JDK 6 from there instead of trying to install it from apt-get. Terminal installing open jdk is easier, but it was more likely to work for me when I used the sun file from their website.

What are some of the easiest phones to make ROMs for?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I'd recommend to start with a popular phone which has been released about 1 year ago and is still supported by many developers and the manufacturer.
Press Thanks if I helped you

Check CM what Devices what they support
Are any brands easier than others (Samsung, Motorola, htc)?

Cool considering you can only "build" roms from source. They are all the same pretty much. Will need to learn some Linux and java.

[DEV]Galaxy S II Plus Development Thread

Hi XDA,
I created this thread for people, who want to talk about developing for our device, the GT-I9105(P). There are not many developers, who own our device, so I think this thread is a good start for people, who want to contribute to this community.
In this thread, you should be able to:
share ideas about fixes for issues, which exist one many ROMs
talk about kernel development
ask any development questions(that means NOT to request fixes for problem X)
share guides for building ROMs, modding your device, building kernels
request help for WIP projects
There are already several guides, which may help you with your problems:
[TUTORIAL] Compile rom from source [S2+]
[GUIDE] Deodexing your custom rom the easy way
[GUIDE] [I9105/P] How to deodex your system without using adb shell
[GUIDE][HOW-TO] How to make a Custom ROM based on Stock ROM the easy way
[HOW-TO] Samsung Galaxy S II Plus - Modding Guides
HOW TO... build kernel-unpack-pack-tar .. boot.img
Please don't ask questions, which don't belong here. I will report them as off-topic.
I will try to answer many questions, but this thread is made for everyone, who loves to help speeding up development for this device.
If you want to know something, just ask and if you know the answer, just answer.
