Basically I am a Mechanical Engineer but then I love computers and I am very interested in android development. So I need help of you and I need help of the developers in learning this .................... so please post some links of sources to learn android development ............. waiting for you replies

Eclipse IDK:
For developing Android apps
if you really want to be a developer you must try to learn eclipse
APK manager or APK tool:
it is used to edit android apps
it decompiles android apps so that it's easy for us to edit them
YouTube and Google:
for tutorials to learn how to use them
hope that helps you...!!!!

Thanks for your reply .........
i will try learn that .......... and how do developers modify a ROM and make a custom ROM ????

This thread will help you to create custom roms
but its only for HTC devices and some other famous phones
I don't know how to add support for galaxy fit
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246

Well, You can use the HTC Android Kitchen! In the kitchen, just dont let it change your updater-script to update-script.
All functions of the kitchen will not work as it is actually made for HTC phones. You can deodex your FW, add boot animation support, Change the name of the fw and Compile it!

So is there any similar tool only for samsung devices?

Nope! The HTC android Kitchen is the best option available. Most of it's features Work Man!

I found this playlist on Youtube by MarakanaTechTV which has about 18 videos about android application development.This user has some other videos on how to make custom ROMs and many other which may be useful for developers .
So here is the link for that playlist titles Android Boot camp:

[NOTICE][REQ] Fit Moved to Legacy & Low Activity Devices

As the title says, the Fit has been moved to the Legacy & Low Activity devices. I would like people to come up with ideas and innovations. If you are unable to execute the idea, please join hands with DEVS. to complete the task. If you are unable to do so, just help the DEVS. test out what even is built. COme up with different custom ROMS and everything! I, as a DEV., will contribute all my BEST on keeping this device into the Main Forum.
Here is a list of what we need to achieve
-> Black Android Theme (Responsibiltiy taken by bangalorerohan)
-> Bug-free CM7(DONE)(Thanks to vishwanathptl,TJ_STYLE,marcellusbe)
-> DEV. of Scripts and Custom ROMS (ANy user can apparently do it)
-> Tutorials, Guides and ROM feedback THread ( I can do it for the future release of ANY official ROM)
-> Port of themes (Contribute as much as you can on this)
-> Overclocking Kernel (If anybody helps me, I can do this)
-> USB OTG and TV-OUT (Kernel Tweaks)
On achieving all of the above, the Fit can be moved to the Main FOrum, I believe. So, all the DEVs. and learning DEVS. please help to bring this to the main FORUM.
Also, If you have any doubts in any thing, regarding Development, please feel free to PM any DEV!
Fit is not a Legacy or Low activity Device!!
Regards,
Rohan

Wanna join me to make a OverClockable kernel?
I was gonna start making a Kernel soon, it seems you are interested.
Why not be a part of my team which only consists of me? LOL...
I don't know anything about Kernel Development....
Gonna start up by reading stuff from Google....
I need someone to test the Kernel too once its made....
My friend who has this phone won't do it :/
So what say?

I am ready to join you! I am now downloading the source code and stuff for Fit! Will take some time! And, I am a total NOOB to kernel DEV.
But, I think I have a friend who is good at it! I will try consulting him on what I can do.
Also, it would be good if you can share the source from where you are about to learn the Kernel Tweaking!

That's because the oc kernel is for mini....apart from the touch keys, screen and camera everything else is identical with fit and hence those features not working...a huge thanks for testing the same....am pretty sure one of our devs can pick up the work of changing the required in the mini oc kernel....the same way in which we got CM7.1 working for our fit....

Thank you childofthehorn, subarudroid et all for SGH-i497 progress!

I'm unable to post in the development section as I'm not over my post minimum requirements (yet).
So I wanted to make this public "thank you" to Childofthehorn, subarudroid, Win_Wizard and anyone else contributing to the custom ROM support of our SGH-i497.
I don't have much experience in the ways of android or Linux, but if you guys ever need a guinea pig tablet I am volunteering mine
The 2 forums are linked below to anyone interested in helping, and thanks again!!

<3 --- THANK YOU! --- <3

also, I'm setting up a dev environment to try and make my own roms / kernels x.x wish me luck.

Still learning Ubuntu, tutorials on youtube and xda-university have been extremely helpful but it's a slow journey to learning a new language.
Goals for the future include:
-Helping in any way I can (testing / dev work)
-Porting CMx
-Porting Slimbean
-Creating my own "slim" ROM
ALL for the SGH-i497 / Bionic (The only 2 Droid devices I have =) )

ROM requests are not allowed. Also, if you want someone to build a ROM for you then you'll have to PM some developers here and ask them if they would be willing but you'll have to be willing buy another device like yours and donate that device to the developer. If you can't donate a device then you are wasting your time asking for a ROM.
If you can't or won't donate a device then you'll have to learn how to build ROMs for yourself. There are many guides for building your own ROM all over the Internet and there are many members here that have made their own recoveries and ROMs because their device was not supported by any developers.

As I'm in the same position with this phone I'm considering creating my own basic ROM for it. Although I'm good at IT in general I'm not a programmer or developer or Android expert so I'll need to ask one or two of my friends to help me with the compiling and makefile aspects of the task (according to a Youtube video).
My question is how much time my friends would need to put aside for this (as long as I do the downloading and use my PC to do all the compiling work).
I don't even want to ask them if it will take hours of their time.

dude it is not problem for me

Hours would be an understatement, more like days weeks or even months to iron out all the kinks.
