I want to start learning to do things with roms. Any idea where to start would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know Java? If no, you won't be able to do anything but just run a ROM through a kitchen. So I suggest learning Java.
If you know Java - search Google for "decompiling android apps", and learn that.
And grab dsixda's kitchen in the meantime to play with.
Also, you can try searching for "Porting Sense ROMs" guide.

I don't know anything dude. Just been flashing roms for a good while now but I've never learned how to do anything. Guess I need to start with java then?

Yea, I'd suggest Java as well.
I'd recommend reading the following:
01 - Java for Dummies 4th edition by Barry Burd
02 - Learn Java for Andoird Development by Jeff "JavaJeff" Friesen
03 - Beginning Android 3 by Mark Murphy
Alot of people are going to disagree with me on the first one but its a decent start if you want to jump into creating your own apps and eventually roms. You can also check out Learning Android by Marco Gargenta, its a basic guide that will show you how to create an app from scratch. It's not entirely comprehensive but it will get you started.
Hope I was of some help.

Also, I know starting out may be really overwhelming, so be patient and keep trying. I suggest that you download Chucky's ROM Kitchen and play with it. Onse you understand the structure of the kitchen, its easier.
Chucky's ROM / Kitchen (Thanks Chucky! your kitchen sure did help me alot to start off cooking)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618787
Read this tut about osKitchen Zero (Great tut by Badwolve1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691789
You may want to try Ervius Visual Kitchen. Its good and there are various resources for this kitchen (I started with Ervius VK, but i find osK easier to use)
I guess its a matter of preference!
Good luck!
It was already stated, check the Tutorials in sticky and good luck.
Thread Closed, stckies have all the info for be a chef.
Hi .. Wanted to learn a bit about development .. Can anyone please help me set up an avd for DHD?? I tried it but I keep getting error loading preferences
Thanks
EDIT: Can someone please also point me to some good links from where I can learn about cooking a ROM. I have done a search and seen lots of tutorials but I cant find one which starts from the basics. Thanks again
Just wanted to bump this topic .. I have searched and searched and even tried with a ROM file , but I cannot seem to get this working. Can anyone please help me setup AVD??
Mods please delete this thread. I dont think am gonna get replies on this one. Time for some trial and error. :-(

AVD stands for 'android virtual device'. AVDs are is used by the Eclipse IDE for developing apps for the Android system. Essentially, when developing an app it is very useful to check it against the AVDs of different android devices to ensure that the app will perform properly on each device.
When I asked for help, I thought that this forum - namely xda-developers - would be able to point me to sources of the AVD's of various android devices. I'm surprised that no-one seems to have heard of them - are there any andriod app developers that read this forum?

Hi there. I am interesting to be one of those ROM and Kernel developers. But I do not have any knowledge and skills in these tweaking and so on. I need to acquire those basics. (i.e. learning from scratch)
My question is, where can I learn all those knowledge and skills? I can't find anything about this in XDA website. But I do believe such guide should be available within XDA.
Thanks. =)

Head over to chef central! All the getting started info is in there. If as you say your knowledge is basic, then I'd recommend starting with ROM cooking via DSIXDA's kitchen before progressing onto anything else.
Regards.
Thanks lynxboy!

I have ported and cooked up some roms but havent tried learning apps yet. Seems like apps and rom knowledge would kind of go hand in hand though. check out dsixda rom kitchen if you want to try out cooking roms.
developer.android.com
This is the link you need.
Read that whole website.... What I need to build Rom??
Core droid htc glacier
To build ROM or to develop apps?
To build ROM - none of that. You'll need to know how to use dsixda's kitchen, and decompile/recompile apps. smali/baksmali, or any of their wrappers (I use apktool, for example), and Java - to understand the code.

Essentially the tools allow you to develop, debug, and test applications.
I read somewhere that the app inventor tool, was moved over MIT's site.
If I helped, give thanks, if you please.

The thing is I want to create my own custom rom but not such as I want to do is decompile / disassemble a rom, and try not to use linux but I could not, and therefore I am very determined and want to do my rom .
I would like to help me as hacerlo.Tambien try copying system files, as is the sytem folder but when I flash the rom failed.
And I hope you can help me greetings and congratulations to all xda developers above.

1st- learn the basics of android
2nd- if you use windows, search for dxiaxda's kitchen
3rd- follow instructions from there,
pretty much that,
you must learn it yourself since learning is understanding,
and understanding is the beginning of learning
Compiling Is the wrong word mate. I had created a howto long back, search for it
