GreenRom DevKit is now available. It has the tools for compiling roms from source and a script that installs the rest of the tools you need. Although synaptic and gdebi have been removed, they can be easily installed in the terminal with apt-get. I have written instructions to facilitate the installation of this software. This distro was designed for ease of use and is for both the novice and highly experienced developer. On a side note, neither xda nor myself are rsponsible for any damages that may occur from the Iinstallation of this distro. By downloading and installing you take full responsibility for your own actions. Relax, you know the drill. Follow the instruction to a tee and you'll be fine.
*Note: Contact either metalcated or myself with any questions concerning GRP Dev Kit. You can also contact us over at: http://www.greenromproject.com
Some common questions might be:
?-Why is this important?
!-Because there seems to be a shortage of Android developers as a result of the intimidation of setting up a build environment and having what you need to get started. Now you can install this os and be on your way to becoming a developer if you have the desire.
?-Do I have to install GRPdevkit to my HDD?
!-No, you can install it on a pen/usb drive and run it from that if your bios detects usb drives. Since you will have to run a script to finnish installing a few tools, you can't run it from a live session. Just set up your usb pen drive by partitioning it as you would a hdd, install the devkit and store your progress as you normally would. The decision was made to make this os fit on a cd. Nevertheless, you can install it on your pen drive(usb stick) and carry it with you anywhere!
?-Will I be able to install this alongside another OS?
!-Possibly, although LivLogik and I haven't had any luck with dual booting this nor Ubuntu.
?-Will this screw up my computer?
!-As with any Linux OS that's experimental, the possibility is there, although LivLogik and I have been testing this OS extensively to ensure all the bugs have been work out before making it available to you. Nevertheless, we are in no way responsible for your actions!
?-What if I don't want to dev and just want to use this for an every day system?
!-That will be up to you as this os is attractive and practical. Follow the instructions to the letter and you can install anything else that will suite your fancy.
?-What if I can't burn an installation disk?
!-As with the majority of mainstream Linux Distros, we will be offering an installation disk for a small fee + s&h. LivLogik and I have to come up with a design for the cd decal as I have access to a cd printer. We will post the availability when we come up with it.-Now available
?-How do I use the tools that are in this?
!-There is a get started guide that automatically appears on the desktop. The guide can be disabled in the startup apps settings. The guide explains briefly how to use the tools, however, I didn't include instructions on Eclipse as I've never used it. For Eclipse just go to it's website here: http://eclipsetutorial.sourceforge.net/totalbeginner.html and learn how to use it. Eclipse is used to make programs for Android.
LivLogik will be making a video so that you can see it in action. Enjoy!!
Note: you may need to right click on the desktop and change the wallpaper mode setting from zoom to whatever fits your screen best. -Fixed in update
Stoute will be trying to upload the iso to GRP a.s.a.p.
Pre-installation Instructions
======> Video on partitioning <======
After you download the iso you'll need to burn it onto a cd: http://www.wikihow.com/Burn-ISO-Files-to-DVD and then boot it selecting Live mode. Instructions are basically the same for linux but you'll have to use xfburn, brasero or another app that burns iso files to disc. Next, you may have to use cfdisk to partition your hard drive if the Installer doesn't take you to the partitioner automatically. To do this, open a terimnal and type:
sudo cfdisk
and hit enter. Now you need to select a partition that you want to install to. Pick one and delete it to create a new one or create a new one altogether. You don't have to select type but make sure you make it a primary partition and make it bootable. Then you need to create a swap partition. Make it 512Mb or you could try 256Mb if you have limited hdd space and make sure you choose swap(82) for the type. After you've set up the partitions you can quit the cfdisk and start the Installer. The partitioner may give you some sort of error such as "unable to unmount partition 10GB or something similar. Don't worry about that, just continue with the Installer.
**VBox instructions (Tools now included in new build)
when setting up your vm, you must first choose new. Then when it asks you what system you choose Linux and then for the distro choose ubuntu if you have a 64bit host or choose Gentoo[64bit] if you're using a 32bit host. The rest is pretty much preference. I chose 512Mb for memory. Now when you first boot your newly install vm of grpdevkit, you'll notice that the screen res is 800x600. That's not good unless you're using a laptop or netbook. metalcated wrote some instructions to solve this resolution dilemma as follows:
Installing Guest Additions on Debian
Follow these steps to install the Guest Additions on your Debian virtual machine:
Open the Root Terminal
Install required packages --> apt-get install build-essential module-assistant
Configure your system for building kernel modules by running --> m-a prepare
Click on Install Guest Additions… from the Devices menu, the cd should mount --> /media/cdrom
Run sh /media/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions.run, and follow the instructions on screen
Log out and Log back in... your resolution should be adjusted

This looks great. Thanks for your work.
No prob !
Looks good, I'll definitely have to try this on VMware with my 300GB usb hdd

Going to try and get an update uploaded today or tomorrow. Metalcated is working on a script that will add the user to the sudoers list as part of the installation process so you can run sudo commands.
hmm, is this working on a VM?
Yes. Two people are running it on vm

No luck in Virtual Box here; Whether I push enter at the countdown, or wait, I can't get it to move on from there.
I just recently updated the tread with another distro with some fixes. Also, livlogik over at green rom project can give you sound advice on running in a virtual machine. I don't think he was able to get it going in virtual machine, but I think he got it working in parallel machine, and in virtual box. This is a 64 bit os. So maybe you need to set it up for that? I really don't have much experience with virtual machines. I always install locally

I just recently updated the tread with another distro with some fixes. Also, livlogik over at green rom project can give you sound advice on running in a virtual machine. I don't think he was able to get it going in virtual machine, but I think he got it working in parallel machine, and in virtual box. Thia is a 64 bit os. So maybe you need to set it up for that?

And there lies the problem, I'm running a 32 bit only processor in the laptop I attempted to run it on (core duo). Goes to show I didn't really read
I actually didn't specify 64 bit. Guess I dropped the ball on that one. I added that to the tread title. Thanks
You mentioned that it can installed to a usb stick, but how??
After you burn the iso to a disc, you plug in your usb stick and boot the cd. When you run the installer, select your usb stick to install to. You'll need to partition it as though it were a hdd.
Ok, Thanks

Just found a work around. When you set up your vm in vbox, select gentoo[64bit] and you can run this from a 32 bit host.
