Read guides, porting guides, compiling guides, whatever tickles your fancy, read read read.

You'll need to learn Java and XML to develop apps.

thanks il look into it
expect a new dev on xda

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

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.

I Want To Learn To Build Roms! Help please

I wanna learn how to build roms. I can image how difficult I must be but I think I can handle it. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can get started?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Learn some java and study the android sdk. Unless you can develop some good applications I wouldn't even try developing roms. People think it's all fun and games, it a lot more time consuming then you think.
Go to the kitchen it shows you the basics and some advanced things.
If you just want to port it isn't that difficult just time consuming. I spend my time their so I can make my own rom as well.

Step 1: Learn android and how it works, as stated before it can be done by learning Java and it's implementation in the Android SDK
Step 2: Learn C/C++ a lot Android and its kernel is actually written in C++
Step 3: Do what Cyanogen said in his post in the Rom Kitchen section of XDA
Any one know where I can find the kitchen

Compiling & editing.

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.

Dev wanted

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

First thing: You don't want to code a game, you want to learn java.
Second: Check out the million of Tutorials in the web, ask here if you have a specific question.
I'd love to learn how to make a game for Android. Already made one app already but not sure where to start for Android game development

Head to w w w . kilobolt . com (sorry, can't post links yet), there you will find a nice tutorial about Java basics and game development with LibGDX. Based on my experience it is a good start atleast, from there it is up to you.
Have fun! ^^
are there any essential differences between the andengine and kilobolt etc?

If you want to develop Games for Android, have a look on different GameFrameworks (For example LibGDX or GameClosure). Then look for Tutorials for the framework So you can simply learn how to create games.
Greetz
There are many frameworks to develope games (libgdx, unity, corona).
The difficult is understand the differences and what is the better to use ...

A very good language for beginners is basic4android. There is a free version of the development IDE and a lot of "easy to understand" examples.

Try Construct 2, its mostly visual.
I think, you can try using Unity Engine. There are a lot of tutorials, video lessons and other information about it. You can download ready game and learn it part by part. I can send you some useful links if you want.
What r u waiting for just send me links

Use Unity, you can learn it easy because internet is full of Unity tutorials.
