hi all,
it might be noobish to ask, but im fairly good with c and c++, know a few things about java(did a course a few years back) and am currently studying c#, I'm interested in knowing how to build your rom from scratch.
I dont expect anyone to hand-feed me stuff, but i would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction or refer some guides which i can go through
i'd really like to help with the andriod scene since i do have a blackstone and i'd love to help out
cheers
p.s -> sorry if this has been posted in the wrong section...
@Mods Can someone move this to a more general section please? I would like to get some info on this too...
+1 for that this would help me a lot too
+1
could someone write a 10 step approach with broad guidelines would be helpful.
Sign me up too ima trying to get my machine set up so I can do this. Plus programs I would use after setting up ubuntu and all. I'm trying to port miuiv4 I have a buddy that's gonna help but on my end it's coming a tad bit slower so help on this for us would be great. I mean I'm in school for computers was networking but now going to be programming yay!
Only thing I know of that's pretty good on tutorials is freeyourandroid.com I think but yeah hope this helps

Handroid; Android on the Hermes.
Hi all!
Ok, first off i'd just like to say i'm not as new here as I may seem - i've been stalking round these parts for 2/3 months now. Please don't flame me for that.
My only other post was on the discussion on a possible android port to the Hermes.
I liked this idea greatly, and so I decided to start the 'Handroid' project.
The idea is simple, a full port of android to the hermes. Nothing more, nothing less.
The port will be based on the linux port to the hermes as it would be foolish to let that port rust a little more while we start a new one.
We've all seen videos of android running on other pocketpc's so it's evidently possible.
But this is where I have to ask for your help. To get this port underway quickly and efficiently we need a team. And a team means that people like yourselves that feel they could help us out in some way. Help. Or even anyone you know who might have the skills required.
Handroid now has it's own wiki up Here.(That address is only a temporary one on my blog's webspace, handroid.org will be registered soon. Also, please for goodness sake don't flame because its a Work In Progress site. It will be looking much better soon.) I would love to hear from some of you soon on the wiki, or here.
Any help or even just a few points of input (or even failing that, simply encouragement) would be greatfully recieved. However, make no mistake, if this project is to suceed we need your help. I can't do this on my own.
I really hope to speak to some of you on the team soon.

Ok we will on touch!!!
Ok men if we could find anything usefull maybe pmed you must works... nice wiki...
BTW how can you do it? i have an account there too and i dont know where to start hahaha
*flames lick feet... i think*
Ok, so I take that's the first of many flames? Or was it genuine. Some how I doubt. *sigh*
Welcome !!!!
Hi,
i appreciate this attempt of getting some attention to port some alternative OS to hermes platform. Indeed it could be done and it would be in the spirit of GPL like the openmoko people did for there mobile devices.
In fact we urgently need some brave kernel hackers to push this forward, because the base of all that android stuff is a nice working kernel.
Please have a look at this thread to get an idea of the work that has been put into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273579
There's a lot of useful stuff
There are some barriers (arrrghh) and there are new devices drawing attention so the progress of linux port stucked a bit....
Anyway the winmob family is doing great work, so let's see how far we would come with this alternative!
Have fun,
scholbert
I am very interested and I hope I can be helpful (at least cheer leading). Though I don't know anything about the Hermes kernel, as a reverse engineer, I always hack my way out. I keep my eyes on your wiki.
Great!
Thanks for the anti-flames.... I think my feet didn't get burnt too much.
We ultimately need people with a specialism in linux driver/kernel development. However, as far as I can tell the kernel is pretty much functional, but I will check more closely later.
I'm also going to contact some developers of the other Android ports around and see if they have any advise.
Will report back soon,
Sam
Any new notice?
Anybody still working on this?
Hey,
As you can tell I'm new to the forums and everything here, I couldn't find a help section anywhere and hopefully this is the right place to post this kind of thing. Does anyone know a website, a book or anything of the kind that could tell me all the basics on programming in WM6.5, what ROM's are. A dictionary for windows mobile, and things to do with the HD2?
Thanks in Advance. Happy new years!
Hi,
Welcome and happy new year to you.
In terms of learning about roms start with this link...http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
I don't know anything about programming in WM6-5 but someone will be along in a minute to help.
I am also not sure what you mean about "things to do with the HD2". If you mean learning about the device then these forums are a good place to start.
All the best.

. . . with understanding development using Java for Android?
Do I start with Java books?
Where do I read about how to set up an Android development environment? I'm trying to read through everything at the Android Developers website, but I was hoping someone could point me towards better/more information.
I know this is a VERY n00b question, but in order to avoid asking any further n00b questions, I'd like to come to this party better equipped.
TIA -
Darryl

Do you know Java?
Thank you for the reply!!
That's where I'd like to get started. I know Android is a FULL OS written in Java, so a beginner is looking at the equivalent of Mt. Everest from the viewpoint of a new born just learning to walk, but, as I said, I'd like to start somewhere.
Advice for:
what texts to start with
texts that help provide a good foundation to address Android
texts that are the next step after beginning
how to properly build a Java IDE with Eclipse
Would probably be a good starting place.
*bump* - ten characters
Honestly, I'd start out PMing some of the devs in the Development forum... Cyanogen, Enomther, etc. I've PM'd Enomther before back in the G1 forum and he's super responsive...
Probably your best bet.

Thank you. I'll give it a shot.
Hey all,
As you can see I'm new to the community and I had a few questions. I wanted to build my own android build, but I don't know where to start reading. So I'm asking for any tutorials on the web in where I can start off at.
I saw a few builds and was shocked on the creativity. I have a spare HD2 so I'm willing to play with it a bit more
I also wanted to know if there is a IRC server/room that I can connect to and perhaps get more involved in the community
Anyways thanks for all your help
knowing a crap-load of linux is probably the best place to start @[email protected] and im pretty sure you have to know how to use the Android SDK, but im not a pro or anything @[email protected] maybe ask in the other forum, the development forum.
Well I know a bit of a linux and haven't read up on the Android SDK. I know that it's a start but wanted a bit more information on the topic before anything.
OK, well I've finally decided to take a dive into the WONDERFUL world of development (specifically android related). i have some experience and know how most things work. I am a bonified flash junkie lol. anyway i'm wanting to learn how to tweak/customize various things, such as porting controls to a status bar, or adding features to the lockscreen ect. However, i don't know what programming language i need to learn or really where to start for research.
Would someone kindly point me in the direction of a good beginners guide on what i need to know.
with regards,
Tiwey, Future developer (i hope)
Java is a good place to start. java java java
Good info on this thread, perhaps we can build it up to be a general beginners dev guide...I think it would help if there was one.

There seems to be a lot of demand for this. To the point I'm thinking of contacting some colleges in my area to see if they would add an Android course to curriculum and hire me as a lecturer
I like Reto Meirs (sp?) book on Android 2.
