Is there anyway that I can learn more about the inner workings of Android? I'm really interested in learning the ins and outs. Rooting, modding, app developing potentially, etc. Is there anyway to start? I want to be able to do things without using tutorials and just know how to do it.

Hello, there,
First off, welcome to XDA! I hope you enjoy your time here.
Now, onto your question, I'd like to point you to XDA University. It has a large amount of easy-to-understand information about all kinds of Android things for beginners. Rooting, ROMs, app development, it's all in there. Go ahead and check out that site.
Quick note, the next time you have a question that is not specifically about the xda-developers website itself, it's best to post your question in the Q&A section instead of here, in the About xda-developers.com section. Thanks!
Regards,
Nookie

Sorry about the misplacement of the post.
I just want to become more fulent like most people are here on the forum. I read these forums and half the time it might as well be another language. Haha. I'll check out your suggestions. Thank you.

Hi im new in this forum, and have been reading alot in the last couple of days and am really impressed how strong the community is here!
In my job i had to programm microprossesors alot (in C and Assembler) and i really liked it and now i wanted to start with programming for android. But i have no ideea where to start because the knowledge here is really high... That is the reason why i have some questions
Wich thread's should i read first? (are the programms needed in that thread?)
Is there a thread where shortcuts are explained?
Or in general with what should i start?
I'm using a HTC desire HD if that makes a diffrenz.
thx for the help and sry for my english havent used it in a while
Your English is better than mine and i'm a native
The only advice i can give right now is to get your post count up so that you're able to post in the Dev sections of the forum!
Welcome aboard.
Hello and welcome to the forums
I myself am also starting to learn programming for Android and here are some good websites to get started.
http://developer.android.com/index.html
http://androidforums.com/application-development/
http://www.anddev.org/
http://www.codinggreenrobots.com/
I would also like to know if there are some books people recommend when getting started for a more structural learning and explaining things in the process.
First thanks for the quick replays.

you need 10 posts to be allowed to post in the dev sec ^^
hi everyone, im new to XDA & also new to Android OS. I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me understand XDA & how the rooting process works.
any experienced rooters out there looking for a student??
What device do you have/ what specifically do you want to know about rooting and or xda
Far as learning what XDA is all about, this thread is a good place to start.
Welcome to the XDA community! I'm still relatively new to the Android OS as well, and my knowledge expands greatly by the day here. Really, the best way to learn XDA is to explore it all and read a lot before posting!
XDA is the resource to goto, to find out how to do stuff. However, don't shy away from using Google to familiarize yourself with the jargon used in the Android mod community. It is invaluable to know what rooting, bootloader, recovery, fastboot and adb mean, before attempting to modify your phone/tablet to something better software wise.
I haven't been around too long but I've successfully flashed roms on 3 phones if you need anything pm me. And I've done a little bit more but not much. My most advanced knowledge is making the hello world app with java lol. Good luck to ya and welcome.
The device specific forums are the best place to get rooting info for your phone. You'll find guides and wiki therein.
You might want to watch this guide to learn more about XDA itself:

Right, so XDA is all about Taking from the Community AND giving back..
I've taken with thanks to the talented Dev's on here, and i'd like to at some point give back, but i look at Android Development, java language and the un-comprehendable Jargon and i think, this is impossible.
My question to you dev's out there, how did you start? Had you already any experience? How long did it take you to build up to where you are now?
Any other information that would help me out would be great.
Thanks in advance.
.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Can anyone suggest any ICS api specific resources
Hey guys!
Did some some searching around on this site and couldn't even find a mention of my device. I just recently bought a Huawei Y210C android phone. It is a Chinese manufacturer, which might explain the sparsity of information in English about it.
Anyway, about me, I do some programming in Java, and I want to eventually be making android apps. I also want to root my huawei, try some different ROMs on it and stuff. Now, as far as android development goes, I'm a pure beginner. Does it matter that there aren't people talking specifically about my phone, or can I snag some 'how to root' guides from other devices and ROMs, etc., and use them effectively, or would I have to figure out how to root it on my own?
Essentially, what I am asking is: given that there is no sub-forum for my device, and that I'm a dev noob, will I find useful stuff around here?
cheers
For anyone, and everyone , unless your gonna hack XDA, or blow the servers up then NO! otherwise yes, and you are very welcome if you ask me . Always nice seeing another XDA member. You may or may not know shiz about flashing a ROM, or kernel, or unlocking bootloaders, etc, etc, but that's why there are tutorials to get people started
Everything you needed to get started should be here , welcome to XDA

As far as your phone. You can for sure utilize XDA, I just did a search and there's not really much of anything for your phone, but you can for sure still post stuff you make for it on here . I'm pretty sure you could utilize the 'Android Developing and Hacking' or 'Legacy&Low Activity Devices' to post your work for that phone .

XDA is a great information resource for pretty much anything Android related. Being that you have a desire to develop apps I'm 99.9999% positive there is someone on XDA that'll help you out any way they can if you have any questions. In the end though only you can answer your own question. Joining XDA was one of the best choices I have made and now its inspired me to learn the Python language and then I'll tackle Java lol.

Hello All!
New to the forum, however I have been following XDA posts and XDA TV for a long time. Anyways, I have always been one to sit back and just thank people for all their hard work programming roms, or roots etc etc. Now I just want to dive in and help wherever I can! I work in the IT field and I mainly am an hardware expert. I have no programming or driver experience whatsoever. So where can I start? Is there a place or language I should start with first? Is there anyone in the forum willing to teach a wanting to learn soul?
Anyways let me know!
