Making builds! Devs please enter!

Can Someone make a tutorial about how to make an android build using sources, i've searched and hadn't found anything interesting!
a lot of people(including me!) want to participate in the port project but they don't know where to start!
i got some advanced skills on linux and i want to start dev builds especially after the end of the exams and the start of holidays
thanks

[Q] test roms on emulator

Hi,
I would like to test the roms I can find here, on an emulator.
for that, I will need something like the SDK for the Acer tablet A500.
(to build my AVD)
I can't find it. anyone have an idea where I can find it ?
thanks
Olivier

ah ah ah . so fun )
unfortunatly, it is not provided by google !
I know well the android SDK, I am talking about a small part which is sometime provided by constructor in order to help the developper to build application with android SDK.
for example, Sony provides the SDK part for some of its device. it has to be added to the android SDK.
I think it could comes from Acer, or developer who has it because they are working near or far from this (in the same way, the Leak comes from someone which is near from developer team)
I am still looking for that.
thanks
Olivier

Im totally confused as to what you are looking for.. If its reference sdk from acer . They have not provided this.. I think its something they provide to google then google adds it to the sdk. or acer will provide a repo to add to your sdk.
now here is what setup i have..
1 download the sdk tools from developer.android.com/sdk i think is the url (use search )
2. download eclipse (there is a link on the developer.android.com site)
3 download the correct FULL Java library abe sure to read the requirements on the version of eclipse you use for what jave version you need )
4 Read read READ .. Read the how to install sdk development environment in Eclipse for your EXACT OS . Pay close attention to every detail. like is is x86 x64 and so on.
5 Follow the instructions word for word on again the install and setup for android development platform for your OS Version.
This is what i use as well as CYGWIN (this is for advanced users) As well as there are other tools that make developing much easier. YES IM NEW TO all of this as well.But have learned alot over the last year.
The above only gets you ready. Once you get to this point . KEEP . WELL YOU KNOW THIS Part already KEEP READING.. in a few weeks you will on your way.
GOOD LUCK developer.android.com has everything your asking and beyond.
If any of the above is incorrect Blame it on developer.android.com or the mighty thor. god of the universe..

Free ROM Hosting (autopublishing, liveUpload-progress and more)

What?
andromirror.com is a Free Android ROM Hosting service. The Idea is to provide a simple hosting solution with many (awesome?) Features for both, the user and the developer. Users should not waste their time searching for the changelog or install instructions. And developers should not waste their time (re)uploading a ROM to serveral mirrors, posting the changelog in different places and keep telling ppl where to find the install instructions.
tl:dr Free hosting solution for your android ROMs
Features
User Features:
See Changelog, Install instructions, latest Release and additional Files on one single page
See live upload progress while dev is uploading a new Release (no more F5) (not working right now)
Autogenerated MD5-sum for every file
Developer Features:
Simple Web Interface, for managing your ROM
Automatically publish Release after upload
MD5 check before upload (no upload needed if file exists on server)
Continue Upload after error (lost connection..)
One link for the latest file + changelog. No need to copy and paste on every release.
Live Downloadcounter
Get Download stats
json API
Planed Features:
cyan ota app support
own ota app
Using it

Android programmer newbie needs to know basics

Hi, so tomorrow is Sunday and I am in the mood to write some cool programs for android devices. Please tell me all the tools I require and some reverse engineering ones too for copy pasting some cool things thx.

Here's a google doc a user called autom8r from reddit posted.
It's pretty useful and he goes through why he used everything. Credits to him not me.

EDIT: Well seen as I have less than 10 posts I can't post the link...
EDIT: Here's the link all truncated: ht[REMOVETHIS]tps://[REMOVETHIS]docs.google.co[ANDALSOREMOVETHIS]m/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aiakq5EFgZZTdGlmblFNMFZLN3huRnNUNzdkWDRoekE&output=html

Too many things to download ><" jdk eclipse adt blah blah no longer interested in android development

You just need Eclipse for JAVA developers, and Android SDK with ADT plugin. And if it you first application you must read the book like "Android development for 24 hours".

Can u please provide direct download links to those files. This eclipse has like 2820207328282626 versions and I get confused

On Android Developers there is a bundle package which contain sdk/eclipse/adt.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I Would not recommend you copying and pasting parts of other people's software. You will learn much more if you try to write it yourself.
For a lot of Android features there are open source libraries. Try them out, they may help you developing your app.
