So I'm looking into wanting to start creating themes for my phone. I'm looking for help. Was wondering if one of you themers out there would like to take a student of Android under their wing and teach and train. The problem is I have no previous schooling in code or anything. I know it's a lot of work to create a theme and even more when you are trying to train someone in the process. I would take a point in the right direction as far as what I would need to study and learn. This is something that has always interested me since I had my first smartphone the HP IPAQ 6510 but I never really had the time. If anyone could help I would be very appreciative of it.
Thanks
Tom

Hey guys do you have any other resources that I can check out on learning to theme. The link that's up doesn't seem to work anymore.
Check out Dreamsforgottens signature, it has a link for guide.

Hey all,
I was wondering if you folks could point me in the direction of where to go to learn how to start coding Android?
I consider myself pretty smart when it comes to techie stuff, but programming was never a direction I took.
Now that I am back in school I would like to take some classes to get into this. Any suggestions of the right direction to go to get started? My goal is to start writing apps and maybe have my own custom Rom you all can critique thx

Use the search button! You will be amazed at the plethora of info that will pop up on XDA and the internet! This question should be in general also. You are not developing anything. This is just a general question!

Thank you! I've been wondering the same thing. I've searched XDA, but it turned out I was looking in the wrong places. God this site's changed since the Kaiser days.
No problem. Glad I could help Looking forward to your potential ROM.
Hey xda. I've been some help to those who've needed it. Well, now I do. I want to try to compile and or edit framework. Even kernels too. I've read guides, and tried allot, and nothing but fails. So I'm asking of those who know what they are doing, to give me a little information. As much or as little as possible, no matter what, its all appreciated.
Guides, videos, or even just blain plain information.
Please guys, anything helps.
Thanks allot.

Okay, I have been around the forums and contributed to roms here and there. I am wanting to learn more development. The mods I have made have had there place but I want to build my own rom for both my own personal use, and to share with the community.
That being said, I have a lot to learn. I am looking for a dev who is willing to conspire on a little project I want to do. Help me learn the things I need to know to finish this project I have started. I will not attempt to take full credit for what comes of this. Proper credit will be given to those who assist. Especially being I am lacking a lot of knowledge.
If anyone is interested, please pm me. If not, I'm sure in due time I will figure it out. I would appreciate any help that anyone is willing to provide. Thank you to our great devs for keeping our devices alive for so long! I am hoping to contribute to the longevity of our devices as well!

I'd love to start learning, but seems every time I ask about where to start I get either ignored or told to use Google. Lol
I've got lots of windows knowledge, training, etc. But Linux is like a foreign language.
Where can I look to start playing other than a kitchen, that's not development.

Check out google aosp ans github and tge google android developers site. Read some of the guides on here. Start small...work on theming an apk...then modding apks...then system mods...then go to roms. If ur looking for apk dev tgen tgere are sites to help but a lot of that takes a ton of reading with trial and error

:what: lol thanks
I didn't think I was going to read a few paragraphs an be able to build a rom. I took 2 years of c++ and Java, I know how much a hassle coding can be.
So many times I'd click compile and it'd throw 3000+ errors from a comma placement.
At least I got a direction. Thanks papa! I love your mighty smurf! It kicks ass

Okay, so my main issue is porting a tweaks apk into my rom. I need someone who is willing to collaborate with me on this project. Someone who knows smali and can not only assist but educate. All credit will be shared for the assistance provided. Who's willing to go to work? Will resume working on this project tomorrow night.

Hello everyone,
After lurking around XDA for a while, I've decided I'm tired of just flashing ROMs and would like to become more active in learning Android development. In that pursuit I have acquired a second OG EVO for development purposes, and figured helping others will probably help me out as well. So if any devs need a ROM(or anything related) tested, please feel free to PM me. Thanks!

Not too long ago I made this same decision, and I've been learning so much and getting into it: Two people you will want to contact are Wambo_Bomb and Jlmancuso. Both are extremely helpful.
If you want to try to build, there are two really good guides I'd recommend. Also, I would use both of them together, each have details you'll probably want.
Guide 1
Guide 2
Yes sir I can send you some test subjects and always more than willing to help out people wanting to learn.
