I have a python script for use with SL4A I'd like to upload, however, I'm not sure if it belongs in Android Apps or Android Developement. Help would be much appreciated.

I was wondering how to port to the incredible. I have windows 7, android sdk,apktool,smali/baksmali, and 7zip installed. I need to know how to use the tools mentioned and maybe some steps for porting. Modification of apk, jar, .xml, .so files are a must when porting,i just don't know how. Can someone please let me know, even if you want to pm then please do so. Thanks. Oh, afa what device I'd be porting from, not sure. Maybe from the desire or n1.

I did try to google but nit anything on the incredible. I make it a general practice to google and research before I bother anyone on the forum.

Maybe a Rom kitchen will help. I don't have much experience in this area.
It's no bother to people, I misread. rom kitchen sounds about right. you could always just try and theme the ROM you like..
Thanks for the response. What I really need is to know how to use the tools I mentioned. I have a basic overall knowledge of porting but am unsure of how to use the tools

What are you wanting to port exactly?

Are there any boards I can post on so that I can look for an app developer for some side work?
There are a few small apps and tools I would like to develop to make my life a little easier, mostly to interact with a group of files I currently access with a php directory listing script.
Thanks for any feedback.

I plan on creating my own rom and was wanting to know what tools I may need and how to go about it the correct way? It will be Android based.
Google it, exactly what I did. Make sure you have a decent computer that can handle all that memory.

I was curious if anyone could assist in helping me pull a 4g data icon from a ROM, I use different ROMs all the time, but find different aspects I like from others, I was curious how I could do that and input it into another ROM.
Thanks

Anyone at all, there has to be some dev or someone out there that has some leading information at least, maybe that kitchen program can do this, just want a point in the right direction.

Its not that simple. You have to decompile apks, make your edits then recompile. That's a super simplified overview
OK well I appreciate your response, from what I read on the kitchen forum it does talk about being able to compile your own customizations to preexisting ROMs or taking pieces of other ROMs and compiling your own version, probably requires a lot more practicing with said program.

Do you want to build in Linux or a virtual box?

I have a windows 7 machine. Will also like some info on building from source.
Most important things would be at least TWO apk managers (I have 4). I would reccomend ptmr3's deviant manager and wanam apk manager. Also get 7-zip and winrar. Sometimes, on aosp ROM's usually, 7-zip has a "term info bug". Use winrar when this happens. You'll also need notepad++ and apktool. Apktool is for Smali editing. Finally, get an apk/zip signing application.
Some people might use this while others, like me, don't. You might want to have the kitchen handy for some simple tasks. I personally hate the kitchen because it just makes simple stuff so complicated.
You'll definitely need the SDK and Samsung adb drivers. And I would recommend using Linux over windows and avoid osx. I hope I didn't lose you here lol.

If you are currently running Windows, I would suggest spending some time getting familiar with Ubuntu, and deciding on a dual boot install or running it through a virtual machine.
I dual boot Ubuntu Linux 64bit because it is much faster than compiling within a virtual machine.
There are a couple good how to get started guides around if you search something like how to build CM10, or a similar query.
If you are ready to commit, i would suggest building something easy such as CyanogenMod. To begin you'll find yourself working in a terminal window for the majority of the time, and learning to navigate and debug using terminal commands. All this can seem a bit daunting at first, but you'll get the hang of it in no time.
This guide here is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971645 but stop after the command ". build/envsetup.sh".
After that command you'll want to build for Hercules (our device)! In which case you would then say "lunch" and pick the corresponding number beside Hercules. After that you can say "mka otapackage", which will begin the build!
Everything should go smooth from there. Once it has finished you will find your ROM in /cm10/out/target/product/hercules.

Sometimes you need to install third party drivers to support your hardware, as Linux is open source it does not include the drivers which are closed source.
You'll find this with many things in Linux. Go ahead and try to play a DVD for an example of some of the hoops you'll have to jump through
