[Q] Java JDK 5 or 6 - Android Software Development

Hi guys. I want to start some dev on Android. I compiled new version of ADT 8.0.0 and have some Q about environment.
On http://source.android.com/source/download.html says that JDK 5.0, update 12 or higher.Java 6 is not supported, because of incompatibilities with @Override.
It's actual or not? Becaus i have jdk6 on my ubuntu by default, and i want to know reinstall my jdk or not. What jdk version do u use?

{Q} Custom ROMS (AOSP/CM) for Galaxy A8 (SM-A800F)? Any possibility in Future??

Hello all
I was wondering if there will be AOSP/CM ROM for this device, not a single ROM is available and no dev is interested to work on such a great device.
Such a totally crap device, still stucked on 5.1.1 since launch, no dev is interested in the development either, where android n announced already, we are still waiting for Android M update, i wasted my money on such a **** device, will never buy a sammy mid range in future, m totally fed up with this
I think because there are few developer with that phone and they can't test their work. You can port ROMs such as CM to you phone by your self. There are tons of guides and forums. All u need is a linux OS (such as ubuntu, debian and others) and sources.

yep, I'm on kali and I use windows 10 to play games, so the only thing is: take care when partitioning. After you installed ubuntu there is a bootloader called "GRUB" and there you can choose if you want to boot windows or linux

Is there a way to install older Android versions? Pre-Lollipop

I need to install an Android version that uses Dalvik/Java and not ART, any way this can be done? And/or "dual boot" your phone?
No. You can use an Android emulator on your PC, on the other hand. Buying an older phone like the G2 would make more sense to me.
Maybe, but dunno if the device drivers or chipset would support anything older. Who knows, you might be able to compile a CyanogenMod build based on KitKat or something.
As mentioned above, use an emulator or dual boot Android on PC. Check out the Android x86 project and the official Android emulator.

Linux installation

Hey! I'm new here.
So the question is - is it possible to somehow install any Desktop Linux OS version? May be ARM version ?
Thanks!
