New Android ROM website, for newcomers(idea)

Ok guys, this is just a proposal/idea. I have an idea to make a website, that people can easily find their phone, and then it will display all the ROM's available for their device. As well as show them the ROM's it should also be able to display images that would help people that aren't technically experienced to install and enjoy the ROM's that we do everyday, with ease. The only problem ( and of course people are wondering, why tell us just DO IT) is i have limited X-HTML experience and Javascript experience. I would need the help of all the great developers here to promote their ROM (giving helpful information), and someone(s) to help develop the website. Basically i want to be able to easily find a ROM instead of searching through pages and pages trying to see if and problems persist, and easily state what their ROM is all about. This could really be a break-through website, that can take the awesome geeky-ness of XDA and transfer all the knowledge to help everyone. I really do love XDA, but sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the new terms and lingo. It would also help to de-clutter XDA, leaving developers noob question free. I know i probably sound crazy i know. but if anyone is interested in helping please PM me, it would be greatly appreciated. and it would be the start of something new for ROM's, mainstreaming if you will.
Cheers
...And if this is posted in the wrong place i do apologize in advanced.

Yes, really.

That would be good but of every developer could get their roms on rom manager that would help too but I would be really stoked of there was a website like that I would be on it faithfully and so would alot of other noobs

[Q] Dev. Help

Hello,
I am somewhat new to xda forums and Im glad to be here.
I wanted to ask for some help regarding developing android applications and programs, as I am somewhat lost in the beginning stages of the process. I havent successfully downloaded the correct programs in order to begin so I guess if someone could help in that regard. However more importantly I would like to know if there is anyone who would be willing to be my official dev. trainer/tutor to teach me the basics so that I can actually have a chance at developing something.
I know ive seen a no noobs section so I know pros must be looking at my post like "just another noob". But I am really interested in learning and I would appreciate someones help and guidance. Thanks and I hope someone decides to help.

First of all, no one will dedicate his time to teach you. some have work/school and other important stuff to do other than teaching you.. But im sure they can offer you a minute to post here the things you need to read and answer the problems you have..
maybe the first thing to do is to list down what have you already accomplished, like what you already read about programming, about android programming and such stuff..
so that people can point you to your next step. at this point it seems that you are totally lost and dont know here to begin, and so the pros who wants to help you..
goodluck and dont lose hope..

Striving to learn how to build ROMs.

Hi everyone/developers,
I wanna learn how to build ROMs, so I can build my own and make them exactly how I want them to be. Not saying that our devs don't have it(they are doing a great job and I appreciate them a lot), but building your own is always better, right? So you can add the things you want and remove the ones that you don't want. Anyway, I am also willing to team up with anyone that may find this interesting and could be so much fun.
If anyone got any help/hints on how to learn please hit me up. I believe that I have the potential of a good developer, I just love it. We all have to start at some point at learn things step by step. Please comment, let's discuss this. Thank you @michael0617

Here is a link to a tutorial on how to build roms. It might give you the information you need, I think cyanogenmod.org also has a tutorial on how to build roms. Maybe search in the forum that you want to build for...
And good luck

The areas you may want to look out for is: XDA-University and Chef Central - Android. Those sections have pretty much everything you need to know. Good Luck!

[Completed] Best place to find a developer for Android laptops?

So what I'm trying to do is ask a question 'somewhere' pretty much offering to be a Guinea pig for rooting/hacking my HP Slatebook 14. There really isn't any dev work on this device yet (probably because it's very unpopular!) so it would be cool to try something with someone who knows what they're doing.
I could post in the generic/other device forum, however that seems to get little traffic from the right kind of people. I'm not even sure if anyone would be interested, or if it's even possible, but worth a shot.
Any advice appreciated.

You are better off posting in Android General. Anyone willing to support will check there.
