Yeah yeah how do u do that I am trying to get into developeing.. and this google cyan really got me more pumped to learn cuss If google gets really crazzy I wana be able do my own rom please pro devs help...

If you're looking into ROM development, Eclipse isn't going to help much, you're gonna need a *nix machine (OS X works as well) to build android from the source.
source.android.com
as for eclipse, i'm kinda in the same boat, i can create new projects, but can only import by copy and pasting *every* file.

I'm try to import loccy's betterbrowser for android via github, but following litterally the instrunction for the Egit plugin (http://github.com/guides/using-the-e...in-with-github), Galileo lost some dependecies and fail the import.
If download the sources manually and import into a workspace via "filesystem" import, Eclipse will import well, but all activities were lost. I'm not a java hardcoder, i really don't know where is the problem

yeah yeah

Start here:
http://source.android.com/download
I think I've got that working. Then you can grab Cyanogen's source or just patch the browser in the standard AOSP tree.
Warning, the build takes a while.

there is supposedly a way to edit the source in eclipse but you can't compile in eclipse. No one i've talked to has been able to actually get eclipse to work for building roms and all use the old school way via terminal. I was able to go from a freshly formatted linux netbook to having cyans source build where I can make edits within a day, that included building the original source. Once you have it done once it's easier the next time around

Building Android source for Windows?

Hello,
How does one build Android source code for the Windows platform? I know building natively on Windows is out, and Cygwin seems to be a hassle, too. I was wondering if there was a toolchain I could install for Ubuntu that can build the code in Linux, but the output results would be for Windows. A pointer to a tutorial would be a big help.
Thanks in advance.

Specifically, I would like to make mods to and build the SDK from source. Is this an easy thing to accomplish?

Found a potential solution:

anyone else care to weigh in?

[Q] Building a UnORom on Gentoo

Hi there,
as I don't have permission to write on the Unofficial Rom Project Thread, I am asking here for a GUIDE to setup a jenkins server that automatically builds ROMs for my Sensation aka Pyramid.
Is anyone here who can help me to get into the build process for the first time on an continious integration server.
What did I already did?
I have set up Java 1.6 to build a Cyanogenmod 11 and I m not sure if it should be Java 7?
I downloaded the entire sources from github. I m sorry I m not allowed to post a link.
via
so I hope that isnt the wrong way as I am following multiple guides to accomplish my target.
So I wanted to set up it all for the first time to run a compilation without jenkins then I 'm stuck at the point where I integrate the UnORom files - I only could set up a
Code:
git clone https://github.com/UnORoms/android_device_htc_pyramid.git
and then i succesfully executed
Code:
./extract-files.sh
so it downloaded a couple of files from my phone.
But when I do a
Code:
lunch
there don't exists a cm_pyramid?
So I m stuck at this point and I m politely asking for help.(Maybe to accomplish my personal goal of using a continious integration server at least
Thanks in advance for your replys

Nobody knows how to build a android rom for a specific device?
In my case the HTC Sensation?
I would be glad if there where some tutorials of implementing the necessary files into my cm11-tree.
Could anyone please give it a try?

I'm not 100% familiar with building roms, but I once compiled them completely from source for testing purposes.
Do you have device files and kernel in your local manifest to sync them from somewhere or did you take what you need from your phone? Not sure if it's required or not.
When I had everything ready I had to run
Code:
./device/htc/pyramid/repo-patcher.sh
then I could run
Code:
lunch cm_pyramid-userdebug
and it worked.
Not sure if it works same way here too, since I did that when I used Team-Sennyc2 device tree.

[Completed] Help with compiling SlimKat and adding features

This is purely for my own learning experience..
I'd like to try compiling SlimKat (https://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest)
for my d2lte device as well as maybe adding a few features
(And yes, I know that SlimKat is already available for my device) I just want to try doing this myself...
So I know you need Linux or Mac OSX or Windows with this special program (forgot its name)
I'm using Ubuntu 14 LTS in a virtual machine
The first part I'm unsure about is which source to use. (Slim has 2 links) I know d2lte is a qcom device, but I have no idea if it uses CodeAuroraForum trees. I'm guessing yes? -Because the other link is for non qcom
If so, do I download the source from here? git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b kk4.4-caf
-And are the commands Shen using here in Terminal the same for Ubuntu 14 (He's using Ubuntu 10)? http://youtu.be/H_ReU-0w4IE
Also, how would I add something like Screenrecord from ChameleonOS like Carbon did or PAC?
I'm unable to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547196
as I don't understand it...
Before all of this, I will try compiling Cyanogenmod from source just so I can get familiar with this process..
Thanks in advance for any answers I recieve!

Hi!
I suggest you ask the experts at slim. They are usually very helpful with this kind of thing.... Please try asking here..

Good luck!

Android OS source code structure/layout details to build your own custom ROM

Is there a resource where I can learn about the source code details of the Android OS itself ? I was a Windows C++ programmer and an currently a Java/J2EE developer. I know absolutely nothing about python except it is a programming language ! Where can I learn more about how all three are laid out to produce a great operating system that I want to modify?
Thanks,
Zvon

Just search for "how to build android from source xda" and you will get good results, https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+build+android+from+source+xda, you should take some from here and there, as there's not a definitely one guide, also, you could start or add more from https://wiki.lineageos.org/build_guides
