Hello forum,
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Player, and could use some guidance from the members here to point out some go too's threads in the community. Since it's a rather large community, I would like to learn how to make a complete recovery of my device that would be flash-able, and maybe some quick points on other ways to start off with a device. It'll be grateful for those who can show me the way, before I start posting questions that shouldn't be under my device since I own a couple of other androids. Thank you for your time!

Thanks for the idea, however I'm interested in making an flashable (odin) file for my device. Any clue how to go about it?

OK, here it is:
[GUIDE] Compile CWM Recovery
[DEV]How to compile TWRP touch recovery
Also, there should be many other Tutorials out there lying in Device-specific forums for compiling recovery. Search Google giving the keywords like:

First of all, i hope the mods and admins forgive me that i open this thread in the development section, it would better fit to general, but i noticed that the developers aren't really present at the general section, if i'm wrong please move it.
This thread is build to become an collection of our developers knowledge that helps newcomers to androiddevelopment to start with it. I know out there are some guides already and in every thread there's a little bit of it, but i would really like to collect as much as possible at one place, if it's not your opinion delete it.
It's not ment to become an step by step guide (but if anyone will write one i'm sure not upset ), it should be an collection of links, and posts of special parts of development, cause i think most developers aren't the overall specialists, but kings in their section^^ and the readers of these informations can compile what they want from it.
So pls dear android developers share your knowledge with us
There are some links i found:

Much appreciated, I've incoroported these posts into a new section called Development Guides within the Development INDEX thread
Anymore useful finds will be appreciated.
Added an link!
Thanks so much for this!!
I own a Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and have been following the CM9 and CM10 forums lately. Instead of asking numerous how-to noob questions, one fine day I decided to go through all the pages of CM9/CM10 to get a better understanding of how its done. After reading all the pages (yes, all pages) I decided to give it a try on my phone, and was successful at flashing the desired ROM.
After going through the entire thread, I realized, there are more number of noob questions than helpful posts that add to the value of xda-developers. While I understand that there are a lot of new members who're excited to flash their devices and ask a lot of questions that sound like noobs, it decreases the value of content at xda developers. I would hereby like to add value to this great forum by helping new members get a better understanding at flashing a new rom in a step by step video tutorial process.
I have made a few video guides on 'Custom ROM reviews' and 'How to install a custom ROM onto i9003' on my Youtube channel, the links to which are below. If you think this will help reduce a lot of repeat questions, please thumbs up this video and help spread it to newbies. If the response is good, you never know the Mods may make it sticky for the betterment of all members.
Precautions:
1. These tutorials are for Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 only, please don't use these files for any other device.
2. Make sure your battery is fully charged.
3. Take a full backup of your phone. You may loose all data otherwise.
4. Enable USB Debugging on your phone. (Settings--Applications--Development--Check USB Debugging)[/SIZE][/COLOR][/COLOR]
Credit to all the developers and users of xda developers.
I will continue to make and add more videos to this thread, ranging from basics to tricky ones. Here's a request to all members to direct noob members to this thread to avoid repeat questions.
Thank you!
Nice guide man

i have developed tool to replace splash logo screen on LG devices from Lx and Lx II series
i want to make a thread for it but i don't want to maintain 2 threads for same thing

ie. is there a way to make permanent link to normal thread in other part of forum ? (i know this is possible to do on sticky thread >i have one of them<)
or are there other options ?
EDIT:
also should this tool be in "general" or "android development" or "themes and apps" ?

Hi guys,
So I've always loved flashing ROMs on my phones and tinkering, but I've never really understood how to do it all. I figured I should learn and try to give back to the community, considering the amount of time I spend on here.
I've followed the steps on source.android.com for initializing my build environment. I'm done syncing with the repo, but I can't find a thorough guide on what to do next. I can't use the breakfast command because my phone is not an official device. In the "Building for devices" section, it states that I need to obtain proprietary drivers for my device, but I'm not sure any manufacturers will give away their proprietary drivers
I'm looking to do all this for my Moto X 2013. So my question is, how does CyanogenMod have (some) proprietary drivers for my phone, and would it be possible for me to pull from CM's repo for those drivers? Is there a better forum for me to ask these questions?
If anyone has an idea of where I should look next to do some more research, I'd really appreciate the help!
Hi,
This section has many guides and tutorials. Please do your research and try your hand at it. After you read read read, if you still need help, ask in the thread of the guide you use, or create your own thread and ask for help...

Good luck!
Firstly, happy new year to everyone c:
As the title says, I'm considering making my own ROM for the SM-G731F.
I've lurked around XDA for quite a while now and I can't seem to find a guide that's able to clarify the process for me.
So I decided to make a post here,
The ROM I want to make should be something as close to AOSP as possible (for what I've seen, no Cyanogen or ROMs alike are available, so..), but my programming skills are lacking.
Even with guides about building or porting ROMs I haven't yet figured out where to start.
So here come a few questions:
1. Can I build a AOSP ROM for my Samsung device (AFAIK I need some base ROM right?)
2. Assuming that porting is not an option, is building a ROM from scratch a viable way to do this? (Even though my programming skills are close to none I've had some experience with C and I'm willing to put in the effort)
3. What will be the main challenges to this?
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply @The_Merovingian,
I haven't even thought of that (I know, I know), anyway, thanks for the tip.
Guess I'll have much to keep me occupied
I'll see what I can find then, cheers
