maybe the developers here can use this.

Could someone explain the difference between SDK ports and normal roms? I had never heard of a SDK port till a few days ago when ICS came out.
Thanks.
The Android SDK is the Software Development Kit.
Its what most people install to get adb drivers etc. It isnt really for that, its for software development (duh).
The development kit has an emulator so you can run your applications in an android like environment on a PC. So if you develop a gingerbread application, from the sdk you choose to test it in the gingerbread emulator on your pc. Obviously the SDK has been updated for the ICS ROM, so now people can test their apps on ICS.
Because it is an emulator it is generic (i.e not for any device) which means it has no hardware drivers, device specific... anything. Also it is optimised for the PC so it wont necessarily have touch screen. It often has a mouse pointer as most pcs are not touch screen
These early sdk ports usually wont work entirely on a device. When the source code comes out, it will be better.##
AOSP Roms are built from this source. The code is downloaded to an individuals Linux PC and compiled using specific build tools. Any additions to a rom will be done by adding the code to the (literally) thousands of source code files and compiling. This is a true rom.
We also have sense roms which are not compiled from source code. These are created from RUU's and usually extracted in the dsixda kitchen. As to how they port these to other devices, I cannot answer.
Developers have been able to play with Android SDK 4.1 since it was unleashed at Google I/O, but it's now finalized and ready for prime time. New system images and platform components give devs access to the finished Jellybean APIs, while bugs in the Android SDK Tools revision 20.0.1, Eclipse plugin and NDK have been stomped.

Hello, everybody. Does our device has Linux distributions? Ubuntu Tuch not interested.

I don't want to troll, but Android is already Linux based.
So i've seen Firefox OS ports, and maybe an Ubuntu desktop port, but i'm not remember where.
Sorry.
Edit : I've tested on my devices "Complete Linux Installer" In fact it will chroot any purposed distros. Maybe it will help you ?
VP.
linux loves the nexus 7!
Yes there are linux ports for Android, but specifically for the Nexus 7 well that is a different story...
There are linux ports like debian linux, ubuntu linux, fedora linux, and arch linux that you can install with a very nice app called "complete linux installer" which can be downloaded from the google play store.
Now those versions of linux run on top of android in a chroot environment.
However, if you want a security based linux operating system then there is a really cool project going on right now called "kali pwnpad" which is based off of "PwnPad" from the great guys over at pwnie express -> https://www.pwnieexpress.com/penetr...ity-assessment-products/sensors/pwn-pad-2014/
Now if you are like me and don't have/want to spend $1,000+ dollars for a PwnPad tablet (basically a modified nexus 7 2013) then you can head over to the XDA thread for Kali PwnPad here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577356
That thread will show you how to install Kali PwnPad on your Nexus 7 2013 tablet and you can go directly into Kali Linux (aka Backtrack Linux) through any of the apps which will put you into a chroot linux environment. A big bonus is you can use usb wifi devices or multiple usb devices with Kali PwnPad so you can use linux programs like, aircrack-ng, wifite, kismet, metasploit, openvas. social-engineering toolkit, and others!
That project is a lot of fun, and Kali PwnPad has just added bluetooth to its latest kernel so you can now use bluetooth usb devices for all of your bluetooth hacking needs. Devices like -> ubertooth-one, and the Parani-UD100
Also...don't be so quick to dispose of Ubuntu Touch. There is a lot of work being done with Ubuntu Touch for the Nexus 7 2013 and it is a lot of fun to use!
I hope this has been helpful. and if you have any questions on Kali PwnPad drop by thread and ask us a question!

I'm looking for the Android 4.4.2 Clock app source code to modify in Android Studio.
Is that possible to find?
I don't need to replace the clock app or to change the whole Android 4.4.2 OS. But I would like to use the built in Clock application (source code) to make another application with just a few modifications.
I saw a clock application on the Google Play store that said it was the stock clock with modifications. That's where I got the idea that finding the Google source code for its Clock application might be possible. Ideally it would be a project file ready to use in Android Studio.
Thanks.
Is this it?

You can download whole android source tree including alarm app from here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

Thank you. Will I be able to run any of that in Android Studio (0.8.9)?
I am able to run the Android Studio included samples, but no luck running samples that were not included with Android Studio. Like the samples on this page...
https://developer.android.com/samples/index.html
Currently, I'm going to try the method on this page...
https://github.com/gdg-hudson-valley/android-samples
Thanks.
Run? you can compile any source code in Android Studio, whether it will run or not depends on which SDK you select and what target platform you use assuming you don't induce errors with mods.

When I say "Run", I'm talking about the little arrow in the Android Studio toolbar that says "Run".
I am able to run samples in Android Studio. The built-in applications were easy. The Android samples from this page were problematic.
http://developer.android.com/samples/index.html
Now I can run those Android samples too, thanks to this useful page.
https://github.com/gdg-hudson-valley/android-samples
Everything functions properly with the samples in Windows, the applications run on my USB-connected Android tablet.
So I looked at the webpage you provided.
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
There, it says that Linux (or a virtual machine in Windows) is necessary. So I installed Linux and then Java and then Android Studio. I didn't download the whole source code like on that page, but I imported (previously downloaded through Git in Windows) the Deskclock source code and ran it. Instead of 63 errors, it produced 67 errors.
I have installed every single SDK, in fact every single checkbox in the SDK Manager. Everything was there. Seems to me like its a problem with IDE configuration files. But I know it can be done. That's how ROM makers produce their ROMs.
I got the Deskclock application from this Android source repository page.
https://android.googlesource.com/?format=HTML
Must I use Linux as described on that page you provided to download the source described there in order to make any of the stock applications run in Android Studio? If so, I will get back into Linux and try that way.
Thanks.
No you don;t need Linux, you can download the source code in pieces rather than use GTHUB.
JUst Google "android clock example" you will find dozens of example apps and source code

I appreciate your attempts to help, but you should know by now that I'm putting much effort into doing this. It is apparently not a trivial thing.
When one "Googles" the term "android clock example" it produces a grand total of five results that are mostly off-topic.
So if my understanding is correct, Ubuntu Touch was at it's core Ubuntu on top of the android OpenGL ES2.0 HAL and drivers, stagefright, RILD, and Android HAl for camera and imagge processing. Am I correct so far? If so, would it be possible to build another operating system off this platform say Arch for example, locate/code the apps needed to access radios, and then have a full linux distro in your pocket? I'm asking this because I want more from my device (Nexus 6, Nexus 7 2013, and Zenfone2) Are any projects similar to this already in development?
