In the future, I want to be able to develop some roms for the DInc. I've played with dsixda's kitchen and apktool a bit and got a result which was basically stock with honeycomb music, and 4x5 rosie, no 4x5 widgets though. (I probably could have done more stuff though it would have been pretty pointless). I know I'm definitely not ready to start making anything (other than something like apktooling an app that looks ugly, 4x5ing sense etc) so what would you recommend I learn starting from basic to advanced? I'm ok in Java if it matters.
Thanks
I would like an answer to this also.

I am sorry if this was posted before, but I was looking at some of the guides for learning how to make themes. I have never done anything like this before or done any of this type of programming, but would like to try and learn how to.
But I am a person that learns better with watching what must be done then actually reading it lol. Is it possible for someone who does themes for the epic can possibly post or make videos on how to actually start learning how to make themes from the stock files? Like setting up the different programs needed and then maybe doing a sample of how to actually make a theme from the stock.
I hope I am not offending anyone for asking this, but I find this site very fascinating but like I said I am very new to this type of programming or working with android phones.
But I will understand if this is not possible to do since so many people have different ways of working and might not be able to show there work. But any possible help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your time and patience.
youtube has given me knowledge a time or two.
There are a bunch of how to's all over these forums. Some have videos. feel free to ask questions and myself and others will help

Ok first of I know of many questions lol....Even tho froyo is out now, do we the eclipse plugin for adb? I follow the written tutorial to install sdk and the apk manager app.
But I did not install the eclipse adt plugin that the guide talked about, is it necessary even tho we are on froyo currently?
Also what would be a very good starting point for a newbie? Should I focus on a specific field of the android devices or is themeing very different from the other aspects of modding the epic phones?
I have yet to use eclipse on any theme I been apart of. I use apkmanager to de compile and re compile .apks. I use notepad ++ to edit xml files. Xml files can only be edited when the apk had been de compiled. I use gimp for image editing. You can use any photo editing program you like. I use 7zip to brite and put the images in the apk. Baksmali and smali for editing .dex files.
I suggest reading the how to's as they explain everything in detail.

I learned everything on my own. I didn't have anyone to teach me. I taught thomasskull666 and where working on some good projects. Me and dreamsforgotten are always bouncing ideas off of each other. If you see my eclair build I was the imply theme with the reboot options that I will port over to froyo once we get an official build. I also have two other things I figured out for froyo that you can see in my froyo build. I labeled all the silent options correctly to vibrate and I removed the sprint branding. Its hard to believe I was like you when I got my epic. I didn't know ****.

I'm 26. Its not hard to learn the basics. Xml for the most part is well writtin so making those changes are somewhat easy. Smali is a ***** to edit and that I'm still learning. For the most part a theme is 95% images.

Sorry if this question is in the wrong section or has already been asked. Seeing as it has to do with development I thought this section would be appropriate, and I couldn't find anything else really helping on this subject.
What I am wondering is does anyone have or know where a good guide on how to port a ROM from one device to another is? I have done some AOSP work in the past, so I'm not COMPLETELY new to ROM building, but I have had no success yet with porting anything.
Theres a flash patch somewhere that might work depending on what rom u want to port

he's talking about the IncredibleDoes AOSP flashpatch. Replaces files in AOSP builds to Inc ones.
I think IncredibleDoes was working on some sort of thing that made porting easier. I did a quick search but didn't find it, but it is around. Either way, he was definitely our most active dev in terms of porting. Best way to find him is on twitter @IncredibleDoes.

Oh okay, I just did a quick search for "Flash Patch" and found the one you are talking about, plus another that was built off that one. Thank you.
If I was going to learn how to port, after learning how to use the kitchen, I would look at some roms that are already ported and see how they did it.
First and most recent one that comes to mind is preludedrew's gingerbread rom.
Might even want to pm him about it as he is pretty active.

To correct this, Evervolv is not a 'port'. It is specifically built for the Droid Incredible platform. Exactly like CyanogenMod, which without them/that mod, Evervolv wouldn't have been possible. Sorry just wanted to clear that up =P
Sorry for the misleading title (I just watched the commercial).... But in all seriousness, could someone tell me some fixes/themes for CM7 so the ROM isn't so bland and boring?
Links and tips would be greatly appreciated..

I am currently using Synergy and I used gimpsta's website to create a Falcons keyboard. Will this still be usable if I make the switch to CM7?

Not sure. Guess it depends on the keyboard and if the lib files work on cm7 as well
You can check the market for them to, for a wider array.

I dont need your smart ass comments. I know how to look, but I wanted peoples input instead of flashing a lot of different RoMs. SO either provide helpful comments or dont reply at all. If you dont like it dont read it.

I personally like Deck's Gingerbread ROM. It is one of the most stable and non-flashy AOSP roms out there. If you are wanting the 'latest/greatest' and don't mind being a 'tester' JaredtheGreat's ICS ROM is getting fairly stable.

I can totally see where you're coming from with this, and I actually thought of it myself.. but, you're using Synthetic as a base, and im using a AOKP-type of CM9 as a base. My battery icon shows regardless of plug in/out. I'm not putting in as many TW widgets as you did, nor all of those S-Apps. It's not needed.
Nice work on the Rom! will be giving this a shot since ive grown tired of Sense Roms.
