Which tools you use to develop your ROMS?

Hi guys, sorry if my question has been asked a zillion times, I can't seem to find the right pointers.
I want to know how do you develop or create your ROMS so that I can create my own and share them with you. I have no real experience yet with WM, but I do have a lot with Linux embedded systems.
I recently ported an embedded Android OS on a micro-controller card for an industrial application (yes Android is getting popular as a good solution for embedded/mobile devices besides phones). I want to start a personal project on my Touch Viva with Android.
So any links or pointers to existing tools or documentation will be appreciated.
I share your enthusiasm with the Touch Viva so anything I learn and develop for it I will share it here.
Thanks.

Oh goody.
Somebody is working on android for Opal.
Hi,
If you want to continue the work of porting Android to Touch viva left by musikmonk (Lost his device ) then i don't think you need to learn rom cooking and stuffs. Rom cooking will only help when you want to make a rom (dual booting) with windows mobile and android. But there is no point to make such rom as of now because Android is not yet ready for daily use.
So i beleive that if you want to continue the project head over to : http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki there you will get all the resource etc. Even you will get support there. And for testing purpose you can always depend on xda.
Hope that helps you.
as just jegan have said
could help the wing linux project
many people will be grateful
and on xda you can recive help with the testing phase

[Q] First Android Project

I'm looking to start my first Android but I'm not sure where to start. I want to make a launcher app. Is that a little over the top for someone who has never written in this language before?
Have you done any programming before?
A little bit of Java not much though and some Python but that doesn't seem to matter much.
Check out this thread I just made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814908
It could be a valuable experience for you. If we find the right people, you could learn a lot AND still work on a Homescreen-app. I don't now about your current ideas, but I'd be excited to hear them.
Check out Resources in Android Developer website.
You can start with a simple Hello World app, and move on from there.
Hello Android!
There are more examples in the left navigation.
Have fun
Actually Python helps a lot. Try to learn C#, it's structure is very similar to Java but easier to learn.

skill set required for android development!!

Hi all,
I want to start application development for android. Can anyone please let me know the requirements for this?
I know that I am asking very general question and please let me know if this is not the correct place to ask this query.
I know C/C++...what things I need to learn before starting application development for android?
Waiting for reply!!
From what I can tell:
Java.
Then hit the android developer's website and they'll teach you how to write for android platform.

Thanks skulk, but do I need to start learning Java from scratch for that?
Can anyone please guide me in this?

Well, it's pretty hard to learn a new programming language from the middle!
Go to the Android devs site... There are plenty of tutorials there, as well as links to Eclipse (favoured Android development platform).
sorry to be so naive...but what is the link of android dev website?
Clicky the linky.
many thanks floating man. I didn't knew that this is different forum from any android developer forum...btw can you please let me know the difference between this forum and any android dev forum?
This is a general smartphone forum, mainly catering for HTC made devices, but covering "some" others as well.
Thanks floating man. I will subscribe to any of the android dev forum and ask the same query there. But there is one doubt: whether such a basic (and naive) query be resolved there?
Do you recommend any particular android dev forum?
since you already know c/c++ you already know the basics of programming which are the same for each language i guess.
in my opinion writing basic/simple apps for android is more easy than writing the same app in c/c++.
so for basic/simple apps you could start with some general java tutorials especially about OOP and then go on to Android ...
just simply Google search terms like "android development for beginners" or "android app development tutorial" and plenty of websites come up offering handy dandy hints =]
Thanks elgubbo,
I will try that and let u know if thwre is any issue...let me kbow if anyone else has any suggestions....
For me it always helps to try to understand other code samples. Thats why I am looking for a book wich explains a few basic (and some advanced) code samples.
Sent from my fishbowl...
Java was originally created as a successor to C++ and if you know C++ the syntax of Java should look very familiar. It was designed to make OOP concepts more accessible to C++. It was also set up to make pointers and memory management a thing of the past.
Actually in a lot of ways, knowing C++ will give you an advantage over devs who only know Java. Eventually you'll be able to use Android's NDK (Native Development Kit). Although you will have to use some Java as all apps require the use of some java and the SDK on Android. But even then, you'll have a better idea of what is happening "under the hood" due to your C++ knowledge.
As for where to get started I would suggesst learning applications fundamentals:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html
Especially the Activity lifecycle and Component lifecycles.
Do all the "Hello World!" tutorials and then you should be well on your way to becoming the next Angry Brid..... err Angry Bird dev.
Thanks alostpacket. That is a very useful link. I will read it and let u know if i have any queries. I just have a doubt, moreover, i am fearing because i have only written simple c++ programs till now. Will i be able to do it?

Instead of being scared by it, TRY it! Install Eclipse. Install the Android SDK. Try the tutorials. Only you can know if you can do it or not.
Thanks floating man for supporting me, however, can you please let me know the place to help me out regarding very basic queries regarding starting programming...like I want to know what eclipse is, what is SDK (I know the full form though: Software Development Kit)
Is the place...http://developer.android.com?
Actually, I have worked on C/C++ at very basic level where we write programs in IDE and save the file as either .c or .cpp
These seems to be very basic things.. that i should know..i can read if you have any link or doc..

Yup, That's the correct site. They have a whole section to get you started using eclipse there too.
This is a great place to start:

[Q] Need some advice on Android apps

I want to start making apps. The only programing ive ever done was some visual basic and html back in high school and im not sure i remember much of that. I know that android uses java so my question is should i learn java first and then learn how to use it on android or just start by trying to make simple apps. Im planning on buying a few books so give me a head up if you know something that would help me out.
Thanks for any help in advance.
You should learn java first because if android apps are based from java, you will need to get the right coding information from java. Also android needs some high quality games so if I were you, i would learn java first so I can be able to meet these needs instead of making simple apps. We really need more developers like you who are willing to do this.

[Q] App development help

Hi everybody,
So, I'm volunteering at a non profit and recently I was approached with a proposal about an app for the organization which would consist of a small questionnaire to tell people if we can help them. Something like:
o Are you between the ages of
o Do you live in
o Are you unemployed
o etc. etc.
And the radio buttons would work as check marks that depending whether these are checked or not, an if then would kick in and direct the user to another page, either proceeding instructions or a sorry, you do not meet the criteria.
I'm familiar with some coding, a little fortran, java script and php but I just have no clue how to create an app. I downloaded the developing tools from google but I'm just blank. Can someone point me on the right direction or maybe there are templates of this kind that need just a little tweaking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd suggest you creating just a web page
I have made a demo trogper.cf/surv_demo
No, that's the easy part, I'm still fresh on client side programming. What I want is an app for android.
Hello
Eclipse or Android Studio are necessary tools to develop native java apps for Android but you should have basic java (and at least OO language) notions to code it.
Get Eclipse or Android Studio.
Then...
There are loads of tutorials on the net for basic android/java programming.
For example...
mkyong.com/android/android-checkbox-example/
tutorialspoint.com/android/android_checkbox_control.htm
would get you started with your app.
you'll need to put www before the links, i'm new so not allowed to post links yet
If you want to simplify your life a little try NativeScript or Corona SDK.
