[Q] [Android]: ROM Development

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.

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

[Q] [noob] Motorola (Droid 3) ROM creation

Hey guy, sorry for the post in the general forum, but I don't have enough posts to post in the Droid 3 section of the website. I've been following the threads in there for a couple months now, and I've rooted my Droid 3 and flashed quite a few different ROMs on there, but I was looking into creating my own, or at least starting with someone else's as a base.
I made sure to do a pretty thorough Google search before posting here, but most of the ROM creation guides I've found are pretty device specific. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to write a guide for creating/modding a ROM for the Droid 3, or at least give me some pointers on how to get started
(BTW, I'm a programmer with a bit of experience, but no Android dev experience whatsoever, just giving a point of reference).
Thanks!

Sorry, just noticed the thing about questions going into the Q&A section. This is more of a request than a question, but if a mod feels like it should be moved than feel free to do so. I'd do it myself, but I can't move the post (and since it's more of a request than a question, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to).

[Completed] Need to Find Cellular (Voice) & Data Tablets

I've been trying to find a 10 inch (or so) Tablet, or Phablet, that has cell and data capabilities. Also, it seems that the cell companies, T-Mo, Att, etc.,
don't have a plan or will even provision one. I've seen a few on youtube and for sale at eBay and Amazon, but those are International units
and don't have 4g/LTE, and are pretty low spec.
I thought the Samsung Tab models came that way, but they don't. Is there a list or a thread that would help me?

Hi,
This thread is for just such inquiries...

That thread is 4 posts and 2 years old. It appears to be for those trying to decide what to buy, I know what I want, I just can't find it or any information on them.
Thanks anyways.

That thread has over 10000 posts and is very current and active. And it's a great place to ask for what you are looking for.
Otherwise, perhaps a Google search? There's hundreds of devices on XDA... You can look through the sections, but I'm sure you will get suggested devices quicker in the thread I linked. ?

My apologies. I just clicked it again, and you're correct. I don't know why it only loaded 4 posts the last time. But, I do apologize.

Don't sweat it! And I'm sure you'll find help there. Tho, where to buy may be tricky... As every region is different.

Mobile App Developement

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.

[Completed] Deciding on a new phone...

Hey folks,
As of now I'm a Nexus 5 user and it's been the best mobile phone experience I've had in years. I'm switching to a new carrier with the option of an upgrade and checking out if there's any better options out there or if I should stick with my device. I was looking into Nexus 6/6P but that's been a mixed bag, so not entirely sure. I will not consider moving to Apple, and I do like getting my updates straight from Google. I'd consider getting a device that I can easily unlock and flash a ROM (unlocked bootloader only). Any suggestions? The LG devices seem to be getting really good reviews, but I'd like to hear some real world reviews on this other than a website person using it for 2 days.
