Id like to become a developer. How can one go about doing this? What should you start out with? Id love to develop apps and actually learn to hack into software. Any suggestions?
I am also interested in tinkering a bit, i have the currently little supported galaxy fame so thought i may be able help a bit.
but im a total noob
cheers

Well, best you both start to dig in Android Developer site [1], and get the Android SDK [2]. There are a lot of tutorials and samples to start developing for Android. Someday you can try Android NDK [3] for native development too.
But if you not know how to program at all, better to look at another place to learn how.
Good luck!
[1][2][3] I can't post links yet =/
At first, you need to select a programming code, java is the best to program in Android, but you can develop with html and phonegap (and other codes).

It depends on what you want to do.
If you want to develop a ROM for your phone, it's easy if you have a base rom but if you want to start from scratch, you need much more experience.
This is a good guide for building/Creating a rom, Which can be found here.
If you want to develop an App follow this guide here.

Are all Android SDK's the same or are there different versions? Is there a better one to use?

Right, I wanna start modding my phone now that i have some spare time. Just two things I need to know:
1. What code languages do I need to know?
2. How do I start porting a newer version of android to my phone when I know the languages? (any tutorials or guides or anything?, my phone doesn't have an unlocked bootloader so I know this will be a problem, but it still can be done)
Please just take two seconds of your time to help me
Thanks in advance
C'mon guys, all i wanna do is learn. is there anyone that can help me??
As far as I know, you would want to build Android from source. In your case, try looking at the CyanogenMod source.
There is also a wiki entry on the CyanogenMod website, showing you how to build CyanogenMod from source.
Knowlegde of C/C++ and Java will prove useful, as well as any knowlegde on Linux.

I search java developers who will help me with an app for in my nice rom.
It gets ICS (icecreamsandwich) the newest android version 4.0.
I am already busy with it but cannot fully develop it now because hackers has hacked the android repositories ...
So if you like it to have on the release day of ICS it on your device, you can help with develop CM7, because it is based on AOSP and my newest ROM also
Btw it is for a settings app like in cyanogenmod.

Hello, I am a Java developer. I work with netbeans and swing platform but I have never done android Programming. If my skills are ok then I am willing to learn android programming also. but has google released SDK and development platform for ICS? I dont see in the it in the site?? or development platform is also leaked???

Hi,
I'm following the Nexus S Android Development for 6 month now and Rom and Kernel flashing is a a real addiction for me (I flash everyday).
And, since the beginning i want to create my own Rom.
At first, I want to build one from another one (Cyanogen or another).
So, If someone can give me tutos, tools, tips and advices, I'll be very grateful.
Thanks to everybody, waiting for your help.

Hey you know i find myself sharing this exact interest as you. Let's collaborate and learn this Create A ROM Project
Notice to see the motivation to create a new ROM.
How good are your Linux skills? If you want to do it all properly I suggest you try and build your own AOSP ROM first (from the Adroid Open Source Project).
This is the place where Google publishes the Android source code files. Actually the site is fantatic and guides you through the entire process, but it does require you to understand the basics of the maketools in Linux.
Once you've been able to compile the source, you'll actually have a perfect stock ROM version of Android. Then, you can start doing advanced things to it. Add a different Kernel, add apps, install tweak scripts etc etc etc, the options are endless.

Already have sdk
but I am going to learn Java
I think Eclipse IDE is the best IDE for java dev (has java compiler integrated)
JDK is also needed

I'd have to agree; I am also using Eclipse as I go through opencourseware Java and it has been great. It reminds me of using Dreamweaver for the first time, when I started out doing front end development. Eclipse is a very powerful IDE.

Are there any alternatives besides Eclipse? I haven't really found any other IDE's that support android development quite like eclipse.

Begin your android apps development.
Hey friends, here is a comprehensive tutorial on beginning your first official android application development.
Before we start getting our hands filled with codes, let us get ourselves with some fundamental information about android dev. So I want you guys to get the following tools/softwares ready as we kick off;
✓ Java JDK: Lays the foundation for the Android SDK.
✓ Android SDK: Provides access to Android libraries and allows you to
develop for Android.
✓ Eclipse IDE (integrated development environment): Brings together
Java, the Android SDK, and the Android ADT (Android Development
Tools), and provides tools for you to write your Android programs.
✓ Android ADT: Does a lot of the grunt work for you, such as creating the
files and structure required for an Android app.
this is my first time posting but i used this site a lot figure out how to root flash recoveries, custom ROMs ect for myself and a few friends. anyways sorry I know there are similar threads but I from seeing the cool stuff people make it got me interested in developing and I wanted some personal recomendations or feed back as apposed to something (maybe a website plus build kit???) I might be able to kinda "learn the basics" on? One thing though is that I only have a Samsung galaxy s2 and a CRAPPY old dell computer. I'd appreciate any feedback
You don't need a device. You develop with the emulator. The Google Android sdk site is good to begin. Just read the beginners tutorial. 2 things: don't install Eclipse,it's not worth. Install Intellij Ide. It's also Java. Second, download the android sdk for other platforms and follow the instructions but install in c:\android-sdk folder at all costs. Don't install it somewhere deep in the tree. There are still a lot of Problems with the sdk. You need also Java Jdk from Oracle. Just follow the Google tutorial but install the android sdk in c:\android-sdk (name without space). I didn't try the emulator but you can ask again?

And when you said get the SDK for other platforms what do you mean just anything besides my galaxy s2?

if you want to develop roms from source you need ubuntu and lot of knowledge which is not possible for you now as per your post
so first learn some basic things and then start modding and theming rom using android kitchen
if you want to develop apps install android sdk and eclipse and develop with it

First, No, I mean Sdk not bundle with eclipse. Eclipse is free that's why it's bundled with android. But Google likes more Intellij or it will become the standard id.
Second: C:\ is C:\. I install it there. Important I thing is no space in name. Of course you are free to install it where you want.
