I am a complete noob, for developing software.
So, I wanted to know, how do you do it?
Probably not the best place to ask, their are some guides on the adobe pre-release forums, failing that look for general Flex/Flash/Air tutorials.
The basic's are the same with very few differences for mobile development.

Just got my hd2 today and looking through the boards im confused.
i understand theres new roms, loads of extensions and some critical apps but i dont know where to start.
Could someone please create a new thread thats just for n00bs, that gives an up to date guide for getting the best out of a factory fresh hd2?
im not talking about anything too specific, just the latest (or best.most stable/fastest) rom (and how to flash) and some general guidance as to the most popular apps to install off the bat (theres got to be some commonality there).
thanks guys!
there are at least three sticky guides to rom flashing on the rom development section, the hints and tips sticky in this section is also a first stop.
as to questions like"best rom"..that's a completely subjective question...everyone has their favorite.
course, if you wanna write a new guide no one will complain!
Hi,
I have run a guide on the ZTE Blade on MoDaCo right from the initial launch of the device.
The guide at MoDaCo (I can't link because I am too new on this forum) is designed for new users to understand how to get started with custom roms and is also supposed to keep all users up-to date with the new ROMS and changes to existing ROMS.
The Question I have - I know that XDA is a big community and I believe that users would benefit from having access to my guide; should I Link to my guide from a thread here - or Keep a Duplicate thread in this forum?
Here is a non click-able link
android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-blade-modaco-com/319831/25-dec-installing-the-modaco-custom-rom-from-scratch-and-other-roms/
It's a great guide, I read it a week ago or so when browsing for information on the ZTE Blade and it's modding capabilities and status of current custom ROMs. As an Ubuntu user I especially like the Linux specific step-by-steps
Would love to see it in "XDA markup", meaning "ported" to this forum since it would be easier to follow when you're used to this forum's style. Although, it's very easy to follow due to being well written and constructed, so you'd have to weigh that against the pain keeping two versions in sync.
Dunno what forum policy is regarding just linking to another site/forum, but I think this guide should be sticky somewhere on XDA. It would definitely keep down the numbers of questions and new threads
I have been looking and I cannot find andy useful tutorials on making a custom rom for Honeycomb. I need specifics like where to start, how and what to modify, and what to fo when finished.
I have many ideas ready and some useful mods to contribute to the forum.
Please no links unless it has everything on one page only.
I don't know of any resource that has everything on one page. This question would probably get more views and would be more appropriate for the questions section.
Since there is no HC source code, you have to modify an existing rom. Use a rom as a base and add\remove what you want, zip it back up and flash. Then you have a custom rom. That simple
I know you won't want to hear this, but google it. It is what the rest of us did. It will give you the most useful info.
That may actually be good enough for the moment. I suppose it will be trial and error for now and I can restore my tab if it bricks. Hopefully I can get som roms out from this.
I know that this is a developers forum, so I figure that I can get some good advice here. I have found this rooting procedure at android authority .com. Is it good. What is it missing
Dont need to start a new thread for what is a very popular question and has lots of other threads for it.
Suggest you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 if you are doing this on a Winbox.
This guide is excellent as well.

To all XDA Developers,
I would like to suggest that:
At the first line on every first post on new Development ROM, that is the start of a new post for any New Development ROM (alpha, beta, etc), which is still undergoing test and development,... can you put an advice targeted to new user, who are unfamiliar with this site. Put up an advice there where they should start off. Something that is like these, example for DS5 ROM:
To New Users who own Dell Streak 5, please go this page/post to get you started with familiarizing yourself with flashing new ROM, and finding stable stock and custom ROM for your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=695
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
and add probably other pages that might be useful for any eager new users to start reading properly before acting on impulse doing somethings that they are not be doing, unfamiliar and no knowledgeable of. Well, something like that. Would it be helpful to do so?
I actually stumble onto this page after viewing some Youtube clips on upgrade done on DS5, searching on Google and I somehow end up on xda-developers page. I was struggling to find a starting point, what to do first... I read endlessly and jumping onto different forums, sometimes ending up on different device forums (ugh, that's kinda stupid of me, :silly: )... until I discover somehow some pages that would be somewhat my starting points. Perhaps this suggestion might be useful.
Secondly, I found out that, for DS5, I can go to these page to get info on DS5, with stock roms and custom roms:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_5/ROMs
But, is there such page as well, similar to that, that list out all the Development ROMs ?
Thanks.
open xda via pc there you can find whole list of completed roms with respective recovery and base files
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
There is no list of custom ROMs such as what you find in the wiki with the stock ROMs.
As to the idea presented, it's redundant as there are pinned posts in these forums which cover the same material. You should be reading those posts instead of trying to force developers or chefs to provide a link to the material on every ROM.
