Getting started

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

good news.. you found it.

Cool
rocking the **** out of cm7

It don't get better than this. 95% of outside sites will either link you back here or have originated here anyway.

I like goodandevo.net. Not too much rom stuff, but everything else.

Most of these sites all overlap with XDA developers... but we are all looking for the same thing... info, apps and wallpapers....

scratch.. i think they're blaming each other and is blocking some nice work out there in the thread you gave. so we can depend on the thread i posted. will you agree?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Nah they're just *****ing because knzo is asking for thanks for writing a list of other people's work which isn't hard really is it?
The other Guy is actually putting some effort in and trying to make them simple for everyone to use, I know who'd get my thanks!!

ya sure. being a social animal we all should respect each other. never know who will be helping first when we are in trouble.
xda should put a main thread where users can interact. just out of topic thread. i meen to share.personal problems, comments, what they like/ unlike. just social matters only. no techinical matters. i hope it will make us close. what you think?

ya you are correct. but why cant we think like this" the are acting like this becoze they are not close to xda. " so can we request to start a thread like that to any moderator? . i have been a member of several forums. only few have thread like that. and i hope xda should start one. as it is the largest forum in internet based on a hot os. will it be nice?
oh lol we are getting off topic...
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Off-topic - Anything not related to the phones.

we just discussed about a sad thing we found on the other thread. if it become serious its a shame for us all. just thinking of some solution. thatz it. leav it. let the moderator will handle it.

[Q] How can i port an existing rom?

How can i port an existing rom?

That's a very broad question..what device was this originally from? what version/flavor of android is this? Etc.

Yeah Nicgraner is right. We need more info to help. Some phones port well to others with little difficulty. Others, not so much.
Google "dsixda rom kitchen"

Well first thank you guys a lot for getting interested in helping me. i know a little bit in basics like rooting and flashing roms but i wanted to know more about how can i make my own rom or at least try to troubleshoot any cooked rom.

Get familiar with logcat, to begin with.
Get familiar with smali/baksmali, decompiling and recompiling Java apps, and Java code for Android in general.
It'll get you half way there.
