Hi guys,
I'm interested in this dev world focused on Android ROMs. However, I'm far way to be an expert and I need some help to start.
- I've successfully built an Omni ROM nightly (homemade) by myself.
- I created a new project in Eclipse, pointing to ~/android/omni
- When I run the project I got some errors and different errors if I run with JUnit3 or 4 (what should I use?)
- How do I run this project in an emulator?
I didn't find much about those questions, mostly about developing apps or building ROMs.
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
just in case someone is interested. There is a way compiling custom ROMs for the Windows Mobile Emulator. So you can test your apps on your environment. Its like cooking ROMs for your mobile. Except the fact you can't brick the Emulator (haven't tried that, YET.)
Made a little ROM Kitchen for that.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to build the XDA utils tree and itsutils.dll from source in order to play around with it a bit, but have had no luck so far. I've searched through all the forums, but couldn't find anything about building the toolset, only how to develop for actual mobile devices.
I got the source tree for the xda utils project, but the instructions on how to build them (here) are not very clear. What software do I need to have installed? Which libraries? Do I need to install an embedded version of the STL? Where can I find the "preview editions" of Platform Builder 3.0 and 4.0 in order to get the header files?
I'm running Windows XP 32-bit (I also have a 64-bit machine, though I doubt that'll make it any easier), and have installed VS 2005, the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, and eMbedded VC 4.0.
I'd really appreciate any advice or help.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
Hi,
just developing my first app and I was wondering if there is something like a repository to download AVDs, so that I dont have to create them myself. I would like to test if my application is running properly on various devices (resolutions, density ... )
thanks in advance
Hey guys,
I want to start making ROMs for the NC, but I don't really know where to start. How would I make the ROM work with the Nook, and how would I then fix all the bugs, etc? If any of the Nookie devs could respond with where (or how) they learned to make ROMs, that would be great. I really want to start becoming part of the development community, and learning about how Android works.

You can check over my thread down in cyanogenMod on how to get started on building your own KANG ROM project for your nook color. I added lots of information in that thread and all of the tools you need to get started. I also go over on how to debug your builds somewhat, I need to update that thread.
Make sure you have tons of time and commitment before you get started, I also have a few reference books in that thread also you will need to read on how linux kernels work.
We are trying to keep a lid on wildcat KANG builders for the nook color at the moment with those wanting to publish KANG JB builds, as others posting KANG builds without further work in debugging those builds leads to sloppy builds for everyone, so when you are ready check with the top developers with the nook color up in IRC at #nookcolor at freenode.net. Lots of new developers lack the skills and knowledge to debug their builds, yet can get a build up and running on their device.
Anyway here is the link I started for new developers interested in building android builds for the nook color and other android devices. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/50994-follow-along-with-me-trying-to-learn-how-to-code/
anybody else???
Hey everyone, everything is in the title.

Ubuntu/Linux dist is required to build a project from a source code, and it requires a pro to build and debug a project/ROM frm source! To make a simple/normal custom, you may even use Kitchen(in Cygwin for Windows) or even in Linux!
For ur question, Ubuntu is better choice!
Ubuntu is not a must,but its easy because it have the most tools preinstalled for this.

if you are not building from source all you need is
apktool
java jdk
android kitchen
cygwin (if using windows)
notepad++
winrar
There are many guides - best you do some searching for example

Well theming a custom ROM takes a lot of time and for completing the work on time you obviously gonna need some niggas to help you in your work.Well if you have a good internet connection then you can sync up sources and compile ROMs like Carbon,Pac or AOKP Kitkat for this device since we're getting closer to a stable CM11.There are a lot of guides on how to sync a ROM source code on the computer.Search down the threads and start syncing.
