Hi all, i'm new to this forum so i will first give an introduction of my Android experience.
I have been developing apps and android for the ADP1 (g1) phone, these are mainly for gaining access to telephony data and displaying it for Telecom engineers. I would like to port this code into the Magic/Sapphire, though (please correct me if i am wrong) there is no support for building the android code for a magic and it appears you cannot flash system.img onto the magic.
I have been looking at the ROM's that are about and was wondering how you managed to make them?
If there is already a thread for this can someone point me in the right direction as i have been unable to find it, otherwise can someone post a guide on how to approach this. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm an advanced Android developer but now I was required to create a custom Android Build for a client, but I have no experience with this.
Does anyone know any training or any hacker that could give me a training on this? Basically, it would be like using the busybox tools, download and build custom Android images, install images on the device and everything related.
I'm from Brazil but I can travel to US if necessary.
Thanks for any help with this.

Hi,
Right now, I am looking into building custom Android OS. Here is my constraints,
-- It is a custom build for a new Android tablet
-- It should launch our own app when the OS boots. This app will be main entry to the tablet. Need to lock down/remove all the other apps and launcher screens
-- Device drivers are need to be changed while building according to the hardware
-- There is no constraint on which version of Android need to be used
Hardware details of the tablet:
1.2Ghz Cortex A9 processor,
a 7” display of 1024x600 resolution
comes with Android 4.2
Do I need to look for building a custom ROM or with a new design of Android launcher app I can enable these? For installing new device driver I hope I need root access. I have searched a lot of tutorials on all the topics. Can anyone suggest me where should I start with according to my needs?
Let me know if I need to provide any more details.
Thanks!
Dear Sir,
Lets say I want to start a company which sells android phones. For which I need to choose a chipset and then integrate the necessary hardware which suits the chipset. I also understand that some of the following software needs to be developed for the device and some the software is already available. I want to assemble a device on my own and build a custom ROM based on android. I want to know what is provided by the hardware manufacturer's and how can I assemble them to create my own rom. How do I edit the software provided by the hardware manufacturer to fine tune the device according to my needs.

First,
download the AOSP source.
Then, create a device tree.
After that, make your vendor, with blobs and drivers.
Then compile.
I could go really in depth here but this says it all perfectly: http://source.android.com/devices/index.html
I want to learn android
Sir, I want to learn.
Will you be able to teach me.
I can setup the environment and download the source from Google.
I would like learn what are hardware specific things needed and where to put them and what changes have to be made.
I would also like to know how we can change Icons, replace default apps and root level integration of apps like launcher & keyboard.
How to compile, debug and create image files like the stock rom.
Sir can you please share your knowledge and help me learn android.

Hi,
I‘m looking for a tablet as a development platform for gettting into custom android firmware development. What device (current or discontinued) is the most painless to compile a custom rom for with a current android regarding unlocking and driver support in 2021?
I‘m an electronics engineer and have worked on firmware for arm microcontrollers and did some kernel development for embedded linux (yocto) before.
I have the idea of creating an open source custom android for elderly people and small children that is pretty much locked down and has a simplified interface without cryptic messages. All settings, app installation and user support should be done from an app on another device. I think all the building blocks for this exists, I just want to put them together in one package. If you have suggestions for an existing base rom to build this on I‘d be happy to hear about it.
Cheers,
Rick
