roms and devices

i bought an android tablet (witstech a81-e) and i know its not going to have the market, or other important pieces, so my question is, if i go into the g1 forum and find a rom to flash on my newly rooted tablet, will it work?
if not, how do i know which ones will work? if none of em work, how do i make one that will work?
help?

Flashing a Rom from g1 section won't work.
... but you should be able to take apps (like Market) from roms to use
.... and building roms is difficult work if you don't know how. No, sorry, it would be difficult for ME to learn all the ins and outs... but if you want to have a go there are some tuts in the "Android chef central" section.
Good luck!

thanks, now i have a direction

first thing you have to do is getting root access. when that's done, try compiling a running kernel and after that you can go to the software-part=)...mfg coach
PS: that's what i think is the order, have never done this on my own (except for building linux kernels^^)

Is there a guide to rooting an android 2.1 operating system? Or are all of the guides device-specific....I'm trying to root a witstech a81-e with android 2.1

need information where to start learn android or guidance

Hallo everybody,
Im noob, and i wanna learn about android. I don't have background as programer. I just like this stuff and wanna be able to create my own ROM and hopefully i can involve in the development of android. Now i just know little bit about android. I still confuse with some term in android. I can understand the definition, but I confuse with like recovery and backups which i think like duplication.
Does anyone know where can i start and where? I really appreciate your suggestions.
As a start now i have Samsung galaxy s ready to flash.. (Sorry if the term wrong)

Can anyone help me with information? please
thanks

[Q] How did you begin?

"How did you begin?"
A question that is in every Begginer mind like me...
it makes every one wonder very much like:
-How can I design my own custom rom?
-How can I start developing android apps?
So please every developer or an experienced android developer reply writing a way to start or begin something like this..
Thanks in advance for any help..

there are many guides on this forum that teach you how to start creating your own roms , especially for android. I believe most people start by taking a base rooted rom, and tweaking it with different mods to make it their own. In fact many of the "developers" here do just that. Take a base and mod it, or take someone elses base, like CM7 and start playing with it. Look around...

I suggest the same. Just take a base rom and extract it. Have a look at the source and try a few tweaks, add some apps to your rom, try to insert a new theme. Just play around a bit. You will face some "problems" which can be solved by using google. That is called learning I guess
App development: Start learning java and then download eclipse with android sdk and launch your first emulator.
And always have fun with android!

also it depend on what u mean bey development, u can easely set up a rom kitchen to create custom ROM-s ( others rom with custom apps ), but actual development, like get the wifi working, or throw a kernel throttler together, need some c or java knowledge.
