Well yeah you definitely need lots of stuff. Yes, stuff is very important and without stuff you will not be able to make your stuff.
Hope that helps.

the very basic ones "Programming and linux Knowledge"....if you got these, you are already 90% success....
Then,Linux operating system in your PC such as ubuntu,fedora or opensuse....
Kitchen...such as coffee shop....................
Again, Knowledge is important...It is not easy as you think,if you don't any Linux stuffs
well,I know that its not easy.
But I have plenty of time and I would like to have a try.so where can I find caffee shop for hd2 updated software?

All the best...wish someone can teach you...But please don't open another thread to ask for help....
This kind of threads already repeated many times...
the others are kinda saying that if you have to ask, then you just aren't ready to do it
its like asking someone about how to repair cars or build your first computer...no simple set of tools and a tutorial will get you anywhere

Agree with you...If I provide you all the tools and ask you to repair a sport car. It seems impossible...

Hmm, I built my first computer by looking inside another one, wasn't hard at all.
nkos719, knowing how to search for information fast and efficiently is one of the most important assets of a developer. Make the search function your most important tool and you will progress fast.
I looked everywhere but the only tool I found was the Coffee Shop kitchen v1 but I cannot open the files included in the rar file.
That's because it only works on Linux systems..
If you do not have access to an Linux environment, better forget ROM development for Android.

Putting the hardware is the easy part! I was doing that for my father when I was 7/8! Only now than Im turning 18 have I learnt to make a flawlessly working computer!
I agree with everyone else here...
Noone can give you the answer you want.
It took me months of hard work, with no help from anyone else but text books to be able to write java for android.
Thats your best hope.
Good luck though, Keep at it! Its worth it in the end.

Hey, mate...I have looked at your photos, great shots...Keep it up....Cheers.
Hi,
I am wondering if there is any developer out there who is sympathetic to the Occupy movement, and would like to design an Android app for one of the Occupy locations. Ideally it would collate posts from Facebook, Twitter, and the website, maybe in three screens that you can swipe between (kind of ICS style if you know what I mean?).
If anyone's interested or knows anyone who might be then please PM me
Thanks in advance
Rediculous
Try Googling "dump.apk"
You're better off asking on Reddit.

I think George Soros can help. He can handle all the brownshirt code.
Maybe you're better off having a mobile website setup for this kind of stuff instead of an Android app (that only works with android, instead of iOS, BB, Windows Mobile..etc).

Aren't you lot getting tired of everyone else doing everything for you?
It's called specialization, we do what we're good at, no need to go back to ancient times & relearn everything. It's how modern societies work, welcome.

Oh right, learning. You say 'we do what we're good at' - that's what, protesting? I can't tell if you're being sardonic, parodying a stereotype. Like going back to ancient times to learn how to write an Android app. Welcome?

Hello,
I have heard that android has been ported to C#.
While this is a big thing, the reason why I am sharing this is that the performance of the C# Android version is superior than the Java one.
So my question is that can it be ported to our Heros?
Here is the link to the blog post and the github:
http://blog.xamarin.com/2012/05/01/android-in-c-sharp/
https://github.com/xamarin/XobotOS
Yeah, it sounds awesome, really Do you know if apps will b e compatible?
Edit: I think Nickoltus might be working on this?

Since is a translation from Java to C, I believe that the apps will run with no problem if a system is made to translate back from C to Java. Well, I guess that it will be a major step but we don't know if the drivers and all will be functional. All we have to do is wait
C and c# are two totally different languages. C# had more in common with java though. Sorry, just had to point it out
I guess it is possible to use it. But I'm a bit sceptical whether the graphs are fair
Cheers, R

Can someone build NoMoarPowah like app for Galaxy 3?
NoMoarPowah is an app that automatically boots the (battery drained) phone in to android when connected to a charger. It is an amazing app but it is limited to a handful of Samsung devices only. I wish to expand the scope of this app. So, is there anyone who knows how to port this thing on Galaxy 3?
Post your questions/ concerns below.
SOLVED: Found this feature in SPICE MI 270

every android phone including our galaxy 3, boots up into android when it was switched off automatically due to low power and then connected to the charger !
why would we need an app ?
EDIT: And this is just a request so it should have been posted in the general or q&a section.
im sorry to say but even if you ported this app, it belongs to the apps section only. by no means it belongs to the dev section
This is only an advice, dont take it serious

Hey Ajay thanks for your reply. Though my thread is a request, the objective is to look for an answer to this issue. I appreciate your comments. Looking forward for more healthy discussions. Thanks!
BTW, I own Galaxy 3 for the past 1.5 yrs and i have not come across this phenomenon that you have mentioned in your post. I will surely try this and post back my experience.
Cheers!

True
There is no source for this app... it is quite difficult to hack it and make compatible...
I know there are some tools to decompile apk into java source code but i'm a bit afraid to break some copyright rules... I do not want to do it, anyway this app would be useful man!

WOW ! i saw the screenshots !!
im amazed that this app really uses the touchscreen in powered off mode !!
quite amazed and now, into the modding/porting level..
I have extracted some files from the apk. I can share them if you want.
Note: Please use these files strictly for reference only.
You can ask Chainfire(the developer of this app). He will surely give the source code

Not going to happen, as it's a paid app.
The app should work, it's the images that need to be resized to fit our screen.
Anyone wanna give it a try, resize the images in assets folder in the apk, or in /system/nomoarpowah (after you've installed the app and install it's files), and then reboot.
Even it it doesn't work (unlikely), it won't do any harm

I have tried contacting him several times but he does not respond to mails et all. He does not even responds to posts in his own threads. I do not think he is going to be of any help.

You should thread carefully even if it isn't a paid app. Just because an app (or any piece of software) is free that doesn't automatically mean you (legally) have the right to decompile and use it's source (code).

It seems to me that you didn't even give him a full day to respond, that's definitely not enough time. I understand that you are probably excited and anxious, but you still have to give him time.
I don't think work on this should be started before hearing from chainfire, I'd also suggest that a dev (preferably recognized) that would work on this be the one to contact him and find some kind of comprise (this is an ad or pro app so a compromise is probably necessary if chainfire himself won't be working on the app). Perhaps that "our" dev can release an ad free version solely on xda (that will only work with our phone) and that chain fire can release a version with ads on the market. That's just a suggestion, who knows what chainfire will say.
Anyways I know I'm interested in how he got it to work and would love to be able to view the code someday (when I have enough android knowledge to understand the code)

I do not mean to hurt or misjudge anyone but the truth is chainfire is not even responding to his consumers. If you go to his threads, you will see people waiting to get support from him but unfortunately he aint responding. In such a scenario, it is difficult to contact him.
What you suggest is the right way to approach this issue. But someone will need to take extra efforts to reach him.

I don't think that decomiling an app is something illegal both if the ap is free or aid. It becames illegal if you edit, recompile and distribute it.
Otherwise any tool like apk tools, dex2jar etc would be illegal.
Anyway i gave a look at the code and i found it a little difficult to understand. Well not difficult, i mean, a dev shoul spen a big tima to understand ot and make approriate changes... i do not have all of this time, but i can help if someone starts to work on this.
Outside the official java tutorial site. I know that is the best site to learn java, but Ive tried and I cant keep up. It looked messy for me. So anyone got a site or a book which covers some moderate stuff? Im not looking for game development. Also, I've managed to make my own simple notepad app, from the exercise at google. So no "hello world" tutorials, please.

Me, too.
It's a great book.
If you're new to Java, I would highly recommend at least learning the basics of Java and OO before launching into Android dev. Mainly because with Android dev there are a lot more moving parts than just pure Java.
Haven't taken this course myself, but looking through the contents of the course it looks quite good. At the price of 'FREE' you can't go wrong! https://www.udemy.com/java-tutorial/
Once you're more familiar with Java, this is a good reference book: http://www.amazon.com/Effective-Java-Edition-Joshua-Bloch/dp/0321356683

i will give my example i learnt c++ in my 12th standard...
then for developing android app i learnt java by myself without any tutorials or guides ,just used eclipse IDE and source codes of sample android app...
and now my android app is in playstore... and i made my app opensource and u can see my app in this thread..

I used the German edition of the book. I recommend to choose the second edition as it should contain information that is more up to date.
