Hey guys and girls,
I'm pretty new here, and I have just started learning Android development. I am just wondering if there is a section on this forum that is dedicated to software development for Android, or if the site is completely dedicated to items that help with rooting and flashing roms? I tried following a couple links that seemed promising, but they all led to forums that seemed to be focused on development of new roms. If this site doesn't have a section that is for application development, does anyone know of some sites that are similar to this one that might fit the bill. I would really like to find a solid online community of developers to chat with, learn from, and eventually, help, and I really like the look and feel of this site, so I hope there is a section here that is similar to what I am looking for.
Thanks for reading.
Matt

The Android software development threads here should be good for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android

There doesnt seem much interest in this site anymore than there was.
I used to visit this site daily but lately there only seems to be rehashing of old posts.
Am I visiting the wrong site?? Because this doesnt seem like much of a community.
the big empty news area in the centre of the screen sorta makes it look like it.

Just you, I am here everyday. Got a couple of things I'm waiting for.
mmm, there are quite some posts very day.
Maybe the holiday-season had effects on traffic.
It must be the busiest dead site on the web, there are numerous new posts every day, there are bound to be repeat questions as new people come on line and post questions without searching the forum. Probably the reason there is no news in the box is because there is no news with regard to the device we discuss in this forum.
I'm still a frequent visitor too Not sure about admin but there are still plenty of users contributing which is what a forum is all about.
we are basically waiting for the xda3 to arrive, not much news to tell on old devices like the xda-1 and xda-2.
I am busy with other phones, unfortunately that is work done under NDA.
It's just that we don't really like you guys, so we put in a new feature to hide posts from you so you won't reply to them.
this forum is always the greatest site on the world!
Hi. I really love this site. I know that many new people try t o ask the old questions that already posted in this site, but It's okay. Some old questions up to now we haven't have a solution for it. For example, how to fix the radio stack? how to flash it in sd card to save our xda phone?
I noticed that some of us have problem with radio stack upgrade and we have been waitin for the solution.
If someone don't like this site, feel free to not login this site.
I LOVE THIS SITE!!! THANKS THE XDA DEVELOPERS TO CONTRIBUTE YOUR GREAT WORK.
Regards,
Hoanghon
Now that we've managed to get into an Android GUI and have a working touch screen driver,we need experienced rom builders to come forward to develop android sdcard based roms.
If you have the experience and would like to get involved, now is the time to step forward and get involved.
Please post here or contact Markinus or myself on the irc #toshdroid channel.
Thanks
Noone? Sad
I would make a request in the general Android Development section bally3. It's not like many Android dev's will be browsing the other sections of typically non-Android phones.

I use Linux all the time at home and work! I now feel how useful it could have been if I spent some time playing with ROM building etc rather than playing with WinMo customizations! I am so following the android on tg01-type threads Will try to spread the word too and see if anyone can come forward to help
Good luck and keep up the good work
BUMP!!
I want to bump this thread, any progress? We need as many devs as possible. we have come so far, let it not end here!!
Shall we post this in a Android Development Forum?
I have been looking around, trying to get a general idea on how to get started in the wonderful world of Android ROM development.
It seems that information is spread out amongst different sources, and that there isn't really anywhere that has all of this information together (to my knowledge at least).
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, and or assist me in any way. It would be much appreciated! ^.^
I have been following stuff here on XDA for a while, and just finally decided to make an account. So, I apologize if this is posted under the wrong section, and/or this question has been asked a million times before. I know how annoying that can be. I searched around before I made this post, so I don't believe I am re asking a common question, unless of course I missed something.
Thank you all!
Here are couple of sources
I think these might help get you started.

Is this what you were looking for?
I have also been looking to this so I hope someone can help thank you for the links already :-

Those Links are exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
Anyway, I'm glad you've found that, but notice that on future you'll have to make some research to look what you've benn looking for, about certain things at least... you can found tweaks and "how to" on devs general section, but you can also find some in device's forums... there's no one section in wich you'll find all you need while working on a ROM
I'm a software engineering major and I would like to start contributing work to this forum as I have learned basic programming techniques and have learned about the basic android structure over the past ~1.5 years of modding android. I have all the android SDK tools and APK manager. I'm just looking for someone to help me get started into actual ROM Development. I'm a fairly quick learner so it shouldn't take too long. Any help you guys could give me would be wonderful.
Thanks a lot,
Justin
PS I think this was the right forum? If its wrong delete it/move it.
your best reference for learning like i have is to go to the chef central part of xda, they have plenty of refernce information available for beginners

Alright thanks I'd never heard of that. I'll go check it out.
Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum.
I checked some other threads to make sure they don't have the exact criteria that i'm posting and
couldn't find anything, so to the mods, i'm sorry if this has already been discussed.
Please notify me and I will re-route to the correct thread.
I've had an htc aria(liberty, gratia) for the past two years and I rooted it and flashed cyanogenmod but that was the extent of my knowledge.
I've now switched carriers to Sprint and am running a MotoPhoton Q 4g Lte(rooted and custom recovery).
The reason for this post is I've noticed what seems to be a general lack of developers for this device (partially because the stock rom is very efficient), but I would like to start contributing.
I've got plenty of free time and would consider myself generally competent, and i've browsed the android developer's site for app building.
The question I present to the community (particularly developers) is how did you learn the system and get to where you are? What tools did you find easiest to use that also helped you learn the essentials? I would particularly like to develop roms and platforms, but would it be best to start with apps?
I hope my questions were clear and correctly placed, thanks in advance for any replies!
EDIT: this should be in Q&A
Moved. At least you realised where it should be so happy to help
Thanks

Google has a nice training center for sdk & dev, might be a good starting point.
