Hi guys,
I'm attempting to create my own icon pack, but frankly I know nothing about creating apps. So far I only found tutorials for Eclipse that are 3-4 years old and I can't find any of the settings in Android Studio. I've imported the ApexIconPackSample, but I don't even know where to rename it. Are there any recent tutorials that I've overlooked?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
a complete noobie question, but i have tried looking.
How do you guys write the code for the apps you create.
I found some threads (linked) that say i need visual studio and i write them in C....
and then i need a CAB writer to get them on to my device.. Is this all ? How would you do stuff like integrate the touch screen into what you do or get info of the web etc...

I'm an oracle dba so i'm not adverse to learning how this works but i'm pretty old school age wise so i wonder how some of you guys got started and into this.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
bump. I would love to hear some shortcuts and the a quick how-to on developing from some of the great devs we have on here.
You need the android sdk for starters and eclipse 3.5 galileo. Theme guide in my signature shows how to set them up. Writing apps will be done in java not c. A majority of the android os is done in java as well with a mid later of jni linking to a lower level of c for very few things such as hardware. Search online when it comes to app development theres plenty of resources

Sweet, cheers dude. I'll get on it.
Hi all, i need to enquire in regards of making a galaxy tab 7.1 theme. Want to check is there any GUI based icon creator and theme maker to use in windows platform for creating of the theme?
Okay, a few problems with this message:
1. I don't think there is such a thing as a 7.1" Galaxy Tab. The original was 7", the replacement is also 7" and the only other is the 7.7" (both of which are a whole new OS).
2. A GUI-based Icon Creator? As far as I can tell, Microsoft Paint *could* be a GUI Icon Creator. Any image-editing application can be used to create icons, so its just a matter of personal preference beyond that. (For example, I use Adobe Fireworks for my work)
3. Android themes are combinations of raw images, 9-patch files and XMLs that control the behaviour of the UI. Unless you're fully comfortable with all of these, you probably shouldn't be theming your device.
4. Try reading up on the topic first. Since this is your first post, you should probably try actually reading and searching on Google and on XDA to find out about Android themes before you go asking for nice GUI IDE's.
In short, there is no single unifying solution for creating a complete Android theme on a Windows PC. However, dakra's Online Kitchen will probably be able to get you what you're looking for. Check it out here.
In future, please always read and search forums for similar questions before posting and be as specific as you can possibly be, so people can help you out more easily.
Hi Guys,
I am still a very new Android lover (8 months to be exact) and have already rooted my Sensation and looking at other avenues of getting things more exciting.
My first question is this: I recently downloaded the MIUI ROM, namely this version: JBMIUIv4.1 #2.8.17. Here on XDA there is a download for an updated version namely JBMIUIv4.1 #2.8.22, however I cannot access mediafire for some reason and really would love this new ROM. Is there an alternate download link available for this updated version available please?

Ok, now this is something that has been been asked many times BUTas a Windows Mobile developer, it creates an issue because my goal is to get into Android development. However, I do not want to develop the Android Apps (pretty much the same thing I do already but on Windows). What I want to do is to take a ROM, customise it from the bottom up for any specific device for example - HTC Sensation, compile it and deploy this.
Now I have already dabbled a little with the kitchen related stuff and never really got that working. What I am in search of is an accurate, step by step guide for developing, building and deploying various ROM's for the masses BUT on the Windows platform.
I already have Eclipse, cygwin, CRCStudio and and and but cannot get what I am looking for; and I have been searching for some time now and nothing really pops out and says ok, here we go use this to customise you ROM from scratch and by this I mean, the ROM, adding things like Beats Audio, Changing the look and feel of Android itself (like the Sense and MIUI), how to kitchen it properly and all of this as a start for HTC, Samsung, etc.
I want to add some value and have some really cool ideas and opportunities, especially here in South Africa where I am from the only way this will happen is if I get YOUR help.
Can anyone work with me on this or direct me so that I can get things started, PLEASE!!!!
Hello Everyone,
I was wondering, in this day and age what tools do I need for decompiling APK Files? I am also assuming that these tools would also serve me well if I just wanted to edit a file in an APK. If not, then what tools do I need for that as well?
I have scoured the net and found pages that gives many different answers. However those pages are from 2012 on back. So it could be old out dated information.
For now I am assuming the minimum Java JDK, Eclipse (or the new program that was highlighted a month back here on XDA but I forget the name of it), Android SDK, and a Java Decompiler (But which one is best??)
Guidance...Anyone...Anyone...Bueller?
After 52 Views no one has any suggestions? If you all think I answered my own question, that's fine but at least if someone has a suggestion on what a good JAVA Decompiler is to use, that would be helpful?
Thanks all.
Neither Eclipse nor the SDK would help you decompile apps.
To get the resources, use Apktool.
To get the Java, use Dex2jar and JDGUI.
Or use a simplified tool like VTS.
The only Android dev experience that I have is with React Native, and that doesn't really seem like an option here. I've created about 20 icons that are 192x192 png images, and I'd like to start testing them on my phone. What is the fastest way to get them onto my phone with a basic app given that I have no Android Studio experience? The tutorials I've found online seem a little advanced for someone with no experience.
I'm surprised that I can't find a GUI tool for this :/
