[Q] Help about start developing - Other Tools & General Discussion

I dunno if this is the right place to post my question. If it isn't, I kindly ask for moving this thread to the right place.
I wanted to start developing apps and baking a CM ROM from the Android Source Code. I use Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and I've heard Ubuntu is the best for development, in CM's Wikia. How should I start developing and which tools should I use?

[Q] Android port to Satio

Firstly, apologies but as a new member I cannot post to the developers area.
I want to know if anyone has put any effort into a port of android to satio? I believe the first part shouldn't be too challenging as Android has already been compiled to the OMAP3430 SoC. I am familiar with setting up an arm cross-compiling toolchain and have worked with the arm9260 chipset in this regard (including writing kernel drivers).
As I haven't developed for a phone before, I'm not sure how easy it is to access the bootloader and download a new kernel.
Beyond that I'm in new territory regards the neceeasry drivers and accessibility to the information to develop the kernel code required
I look forward to your comments.
Regards, Steve

Do not make multiple threads
Please do not spam the forums
What she said ^^^. You already had a thread opened for this question. Closing this thread.
Free advice: If you don't have time to learn how to do it correctly, how do you expect people to trust your output? Serious Android development work cannot be done in Windows. You could run an Ubuntu virtual machine within your Windows environment, but the work needs to be done in a Linux environment.

[Q] The Nexus 7 got official Ubuntu 12.07 support, possible for us too?

Just asking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959834
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation
for -official- ubuntu support you should ask to ubuntu support people, not here.
if you just want linux for the tf300t(G) there's a thread in development section from CB22 about archlinux.
doing the same for ubuntu shouldnt be too difficult, its mostly a question of different packaging and dependancies.

[Completed] can I make an AOSP in a virtual machine?

Hi everybody!
I am new in this community and I am sorry if a post this thread in the wrong forum.
I want to start making a AOSP or a "custom ROM" for Android, I have some experience with "Linux from scracth" and linux in general, but I think that I still beeing a newbie in OS development.
I really love OS develoment and thats why I want to try with Android. (I know that is very hard, but I am making this for experience)
The AOSP requirements says that I new a Android device and its kernel source. (I am new and I can not post links)
I want to know, if there is any way to make a AOSP or custom ROM in a virtual machine? maybe using google pixel or nexus code?
I have an Android device but I am a complete newbie and I dont want try on real hardware yet.
Thanks for any help!

Greetings and welcome to assist. Plenty of devs use a virtual machine to build or even dual boot linux. There are plenty of prebuilt virtual machines at osbox and there are plenty of excellent guides to building in xda university

Thanks for replying!
I have no problem to install Linux on real hardware, actually I have Arch Linux installed on real hardware and I used as my main OS.
What I want to know is, can I put AOSP or a Custom Android in a Virtual Machine? I mean, modify some code in a custom android and tested in a Virtual Machine?
Thanks for your time and help!

You mean you want to run a custom rom on a virtual machine on your pc ? I think android studio can do something along these lines

I mean that I want to modify Android OS to add functions, optimize, maybe modify the UI of the system, learn how Android is programed and that kind of things. I want to modify Android Source Code but I want to tested that code on a Virtual Machine on my PC.
Where can I get Android Source Code or any Custom ROM to start working on it?
Thanks for your help and time!

Here is the link for android studio

For source code you can use cm/aosp or anything opensource. Resurrection remix is quite easy to set up as they have a lot of pre built scripts to help you set everything up
