[Q] learning development

Anyone who wants to join me and fallow my steps you're welcome. Apparently this thread is for me but actually it's for everyone who wants to become a dev. Who knows??? maybe one day we'll form a group creating best ROMs ever
hey guys I have an lg p500 and I want to learn building roms and creating apps. Unfortunately it seems like I'm starting from zero level: I dont even know any pragraming language I just have the knowledge of a simple root user (fashing roms...). And it looks so confusing how much threads I find on internet about roms and apps. So I'd like that devs help me according to their experience.
Thx in advance

Unzip the zip file, and if the system folder is under 200 mb, the rom will fit

I thought about that but Ihad some doubts (some files are unpacked after flash...)
Thx anyway

You can tell me what ROM yo want me to start with (it must be for a device with same CPU and same screen resolution)
You can also help by telling me what are devices with armv6 and HVGA screen.

Oh and another thing .. before you flash your builds to ur phone for testing i'd suggest that you grab kdz and set it up so that you can unbrick your phone if the need arises .. and also keep a nandroid backup that u can restore if anything goes wrong

1- How to use them???????
2-Didn't understand that
In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port’s script to be like the Base’s updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don’t change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the ‘format’ values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).
(the step right before kernel)

Just rebought ;) Post all news about this phone ;)

Finally! :highfive::victory:^^ Today i just bought this phone (again) for about 40$. I had this phone from 2010 december 24th till 2012 june.. And i want to know all the things that happened when i wasn't here ^^. I plan getting phone from seller on tuesday. Write EVERYTHING that happened good and bad
(sorry for my english :silly: )
Also, does ICySNAP v1.3 OCTOPUSSY has any issues ? Like no youtube hq, no camera and so on? Maybe gingersnap is better? (my last used ROM)

about icysnap the rom is based on genetics by hephappy the last version ( link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34758480&postcount=2123 )
and hephappy fixed all bugs that we had ex : youtube hq , camera etc.
i suggest you to try the rom (icysnap) when you'll get your phone

Thanks Very good news
Also I've never used any a2sd, because i couldn't get it to work... Will ext2/3/4 and SWAP work on icysnap without any other mods (only "d2ext" command)? If yes then what sizes and ext types would you recommend on a 8gb sdcard?

i think will work and if you have cwm make a partition with 1024mb with ext3 format (the default partition that cwm makes are ext3)

Another little question - Which recovery (and version of it) is the most stable (CWM, AmonRa, TWRP..):silly:?

Yes I've tried the touch twrp is working great but I reverted back to cwm because with twrp you can't use cwm backups and I have a lot of backups with cwm.
Is your choice if you want to use that recovery

Android screen problem

Whenever I try to boot my phone the last days it just keeps getting stuck on Android screen endlessly without booting. After some search I found a thread to try and fix it with KDZ but nothing at all... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275523) Although I'm not exactly sure how to disable the modes... I launched it and it showed to go well and finished. Then I tried to boot my phone but it just keeps getting stuck on Android screen. It cannot fastboot or boot in general. Any help? Even an existing thread if it exists.
