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.

I know a little about rooting but I would love to learn how to develop ROMs. I understand that is something that I can not just jump into. Can anyone point me to all of the information that I will need to learn how to do this.

google is the best place.
Try these as a start, but I recommend Google also. And reading through the 'Android Development' forum posts here and for other devices (G1, in particular).

A couple of things not to do:
Copy someone else's work or ROM, make a few minor changes, and call it your own.
Include applications that don't allow others to re-distribute. Just because they're free doesn't mean people can include them.
One thing you really should do:
Give others credit for any small tweaks or fixes that they provide.

Hello everyone. I haven't been able to maintain this beginners' guide, but I highly recommend the following two threads:
Droidstyle's guide has anything and everything you need to get rooted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070
User jawman27 has put together a glossary to help new users understand rooting terminology:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513143
Enjoy.
Nice job!!

Great writeup I wish there was something like this around back when I was a noob. I like how you explained what everything meant... Good job man...

Thanks for this. I've been debating whether or not I should root my Fascinate and this just may give me the confidence to give it a try!
Nice job!

No, this is strictly for the Fascinate, I don't really know the specifics but the mesmerize is different, I think theres a separate forum for that phone.
Great job Bawb3. I wish there was also something like this for stock app preferred replacements/alternatives all grouped together. For example, Dolphin instead of the default browser, debinged browser, replacement SMS clients, and 'must-have' apps for post rooting. Something like that, maybe to go hand in hand with this guide, to get newbies started. I would do it myself but I'm still a newbie. Wishful thinking, but mainly I just wanted to say thanks!

Maybe thats something I could put together in the future, for now I'm just trying to help the new people, and maybe reduce the clutter of simple question threads that this guide could help weed out.
P.s. thanks for all the compliments everyone!
Great
Great guide, it took me about two days of digging to understand all of this and you put it in one nice package.

Yeah, kinda why I tried to put everything together in one guide. It's hard to cover everything, but theres plenty of other guides for different things floating around.
Thank you for this beginner's guide. I'm new to flashing and rooting but following your instructions and links, I now have a sweet android phone I can call my own.

Thank you SO much! I think this has been one of THE BEST guides I have seen thus far.. It explains pretty much EVERY in great common language. Now if only I can get past my current roadblock so I can actually continue through all of these steps :/ but when I do, I'm coming back to this thread for reference!
Thank you!
This guide is great! Thank you, it sure helped me to have a better understanding of root, roms, and kernel's.

Thank you.
One suggestion, maybe host the root file on your post or offer up a mirror link. Registering for another forum is no biggie, but I'd rather not since I'm more comfortable here on XDA.

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.

Google it lmao...jk
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.

Read guides, porting guides, compiling guides, whatever tickles your fancy, read read read.
You'll need to learn Java and XML to develop apps.

Its always good to be able to learn as you go along. Start small and simple then go from there. Always ask for help, there are plenty of people willing. But don't depend on them, try to fix it yourself first. Good luck

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.
