Hi newbie here. Been testing roms posted here on XDA since 2011. Im really enjoying getting the best available for my phone. Im interested in learning more about android developement. Maybe some of you could have some suggestions on how to get started? I love all my Samsung devices and havent used much else. What books if any on the Play Store would be the best for getting familliar with the prosseses of developement for apk. Kernal and Rom? Also there are some pc tools that I would like to become familliar with. (Kitchen, eclipse, and others I may not have heard about). I have been hoping to learn more in this new technology. I've got here an enjoyable hobbie. Now I feel has come time to move up to gaining a skill. Thank you for your advice in advance. And my apologies if I've posted this on the wrong section.

may be dis one will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067940. Before posting do some search here . Its a good habit
I recomend you to read "Hello Android", 2010, Pragmatic. Yes, this is OLD book, but it is the easiest and straightforward.

I have been really getting into Android and rooting. I want to be able to make custom roms... Questions:- What programming languages do you have to know?
How do I start off?
A good question asked. I am also very much interested in ROM-dev. Some dev. may shed some light
Yeah hopefully.... Waiting for some light
Anyone
Someone should answer and help the newbies like us in making custom roms
Newbie
Help us to become develpor any dev please
Anyone
Any dev help us please
You're gonna want to search google for the android sdk, and eclipse, and learn about java. There's also kitchens for rom cooking around, but don't ask me where or how to use them lol. Lurk around the Android forums here on xda, and read up on the stuff you're most interested in doing, be it coding apps, theming, cooking roms, all of the above. You're gonna have to invest a good amount of time to develop any skill at this stuff, it definitely won't happen overnight. Have fun and good luck!

hi everyone, im new to XDA & also new to Android OS. I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me understand XDA & how the rooting process works.
any experienced rooters out there looking for a student??
What device do you have/ what specifically do you want to know about rooting and or xda
Far as learning what XDA is all about, this thread is a good place to start.
Welcome to the XDA community! I'm still relatively new to the Android OS as well, and my knowledge expands greatly by the day here. Really, the best way to learn XDA is to explore it all and read a lot before posting!
XDA is the resource to goto, to find out how to do stuff. However, don't shy away from using Google to familiarize yourself with the jargon used in the Android mod community. It is invaluable to know what rooting, bootloader, recovery, fastboot and adb mean, before attempting to modify your phone/tablet to something better software wise.
I haven't been around too long but I've successfully flashed roms on 3 phones if you need anything pm me. And I've done a little bit more but not much. My most advanced knowledge is making the hello world app with java lol. Good luck to ya and welcome.
The device specific forums are the best place to get rooting info for your phone. You'll find guides and wiki therein.
You might want to watch this guide to learn more about XDA itself:

Well, what kinds of things are you wanting to find in the forums? I may be able to help you...not sure. It really just depends on what you are looking to find. The search function is probably your easiest way of navigating, but you should post about things you are interesting in finding as to get more help.
Hello everyone. I am trying to learn all I can about development of The android OS. I have a lot of experience rooting, rom'ing and general manipulation of android phones. LG, Samsung, motorolla, devices. Hit me IP. With your problems and I will do the research. For you. And after that I will work with you to do or fix whatever it is needs doing. Plus I will thank you for the oportinity to do it. No problem too small. Development, refer your troubles to me please and save a second of your own time. Give me an opportunity to show what I know and also learn. Refer to my posts to see that I am immediate while not a pro I also am not a noob. I. Love programing but lack the chance to do it often. Real help for real people. Is available here.

Hey guys!
Did some some searching around on this site and couldn't even find a mention of my device. I just recently bought a Huawei Y210C android phone. It is a Chinese manufacturer, which might explain the sparsity of information in English about it.
Anyway, about me, I do some programming in Java, and I want to eventually be making android apps. I also want to root my huawei, try some different ROMs on it and stuff. Now, as far as android development goes, I'm a pure beginner. Does it matter that there aren't people talking specifically about my phone, or can I snag some 'how to root' guides from other devices and ROMs, etc., and use them effectively, or would I have to figure out how to root it on my own?
Essentially, what I am asking is: given that there is no sub-forum for my device, and that I'm a dev noob, will I find useful stuff around here?
cheers
For anyone, and everyone , unless your gonna hack XDA, or blow the servers up then NO! otherwise yes, and you are very welcome if you ask me . Always nice seeing another XDA member. You may or may not know shiz about flashing a ROM, or kernel, or unlocking bootloaders, etc, etc, but that's why there are tutorials to get people started
Everything you needed to get started should be here , welcome to XDA

As far as your phone. You can for sure utilize XDA, I just did a search and there's not really much of anything for your phone, but you can for sure still post stuff you make for it on here . I'm pretty sure you could utilize the 'Android Developing and Hacking' or 'Legacy&Low Activity Devices' to post your work for that phone .

XDA is a great information resource for pretty much anything Android related. Being that you have a desire to develop apps I'm 99.9999% positive there is someone on XDA that'll help you out any way they can if you have any questions. In the end though only you can answer your own question. Joining XDA was one of the best choices I have made and now its inspired me to learn the Python language and then I'll tackle Java lol.
