Getting into android development - General Questions and Answers

What's the best way to start android development (ROMs, kernels, etc)
Sent from my warp2 using xda app-developers app

start from the basics
there are many guides out there to develop roms and kernels
kernel development needs knowledge of C
you can start with rom development but referring custom rom development threads , preferably for your device
first you can develop from base firmware like stock or cm7
add/ delete apps , ringtones , bootanimation , font etc
then you can learn how to decompile apk's so that you can edit Icons , add modifications like 15 toggles , Jelly Bean style notifications etc
once you are familiar with all this
you can approach to source development

Modding stock ICS or custom ROMs

Hey guys.
Is there any mods for SE LwW stock ICS? I mean something like to make widget buttons appear in notification bar on stock ICS. And I heard that some people are just connecting parts from different ROMs. Is it hard, complicated? Can you link me to a guide how to do that?

Guys does anyone know a guide to Port ROMs from another devices ,of course I want to contribute too on SGA+ community .I want to Port a CM10 based ROM ,planning to port S|| Stock ROM jelly bean from galaxy Ace
Sent from my GT-S7500 using xda premium
Ace and ace plus are too different. I tried to port cm7, but i got bootloop. I'd suggest you try to port from an msm7x27a device

Yes. You should. I tried to do so, but i forgot to execute "make" and nothing worked xD, but maybe you'll be successful. Good luck

Search on google for msm7x27a devices and click the first link. Only make sure the device you want to port from has the same resolution, in case you don't want to compile from source

Oh! And if you want to port a rom, they should b the same version.
E.g. : port 4.1 to 4.1 , not 4.1 to 2.3 because you will need a base rom fro ace plus and the rom you'd like to port
Edit : i found a good device t port jb from : htc desire c

In that thread i meant to say that phones are different, but not very, so the ROM might still end up with some errors

[Q] how to port roms???

hey i want to port a cm7.2 based rom from the GT-S5830 to the GT-S5830i plz help
There are tons of threads here on xda-developers teaching how to port ROMs.
Do some search next time before posting a question. This is the first rule on XDA. Always do some search before asking.
No offence but if you can't even find a thread to teach you how to port a ROM then I'm sure you won't be able to to port a ROM. It's not as simple as you think.

A big hii to all the devs :laugh:
tipo users are saying that need more roms to tipo

What stops you from learning to do it yourself? If you really want new ROMs, try to create one yourself! It's fun work to do and it's really cool if people like what you've done.
