Hey guys. I'm new to this but I would like to start into ROM development. I have been wanting to for some time and now I thought it would be a good time to start. I was wondering if anyone could help me get started. I already have Linux ubuntu 12.04 installed on 12gb I think. Any help will be appreciated. I am trying to follow the steps on the AOSP development Page. Any help will appreciated.
Regards

I'm not going to say it because I think it's pretty obvious, but look at the wiki stickied in the development section. This is themes and apps, it has nothing to do with the questions that you are asking.

All right so i want to build paranoid android 4.2.1 for our cappy glide. Problem is first off i have almost no clue how to build from source and second i don't have a lot of experience if there are developers that can help or give tips it would be highly appreciated.
Start reading....
Check the thread where it explains how to build cm10.1 from source in the Dev section and go from there.

Start by reading dmans thread on building cm10 . You'd find myself and dbranonn asking many queries which should help you figure out the repos to use for 10.1 . Also dbrannon in his PA thread has given the link of thread he used for building PA.

You should check the guide dman made on the dev forum.
Is there an echo in here ?
I am trying to upgrade my Galaxy S II to Jellybean using the following link but am not sure how to do so. I found the following link but it appeared to help me achieve nothing. Can you point me in the right direction or help me figure out how to get jellybean on my GS2? I'm sure it has been address so please point me in the right direction if nothing else. Additional insight is also always nice! Thanks everyone!

Not quite sure what your trying to accomplish using an SDK cleaner. But that won't help with the upgrade. Follow this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195283
Ariana makes it real easy to get the device rooted so you can select whatever JB ROM you want and to install it. Hope that helps.
And BTW, Welcome to the xda community.

Unfortunately my friend this is not a hold my hand and guide me forum. You need to do some reading and learning like the rest of us. We all had to do it and we all were new at this once. So please read and search then read and search some more before you end up coming back to us requesting help to fix your phone.
Never attempt anything without some kind of basic knowledge of what you are trying to do.
To get anything higher than 2.3.7 means you have to go custom rom like JB or ICS. So my first advice to you would be reading up on how to get your bootloader unlocked since its a DHD. If its an inspire then read up on rooting if its still supported.
Good luck and enjoy the learning.

I agree...
To op. Please look through the forums, people have already done lots and lots of work already for you, creating guides and tools and roms and recoveries.
Now I don't want to sound mean, but at the end of the day your going to have to do all the work rooting and flashing yourself, this stuff is not easy for beginners (noobs) your going to have to do some reading and learning.
However this does not mean that some one is not going to help you after you've learned some skills.

yeah what he said!
Hi,
Greetings to all,I have been trying to get my hands dirty (learn a thing or two on ROM development) for a very very long time but never had the courage to take the plunge !
Finally I have decided to do it albeit a safer way,I have tried to port latest LEWAOS to Arc using the porting tool by Abinav2. I also tried others but kept getting one or the other errors.
Have taken the CM10 Nightly and the latest Lewa OS5 for the job and the result was successful to a large extent, The ROM installs fine but won't go past initial boot logo,There is no Boot Loop ! Its simply stuck at starting logo.
Have tried multiple kernels and tried to redo the ROM many times but no joy,One more interesting thing I noticed is in Lewa there is no init.d in etc folder,so how does one deal with it ??
So I finally decided to post it here to ask for some guidance and to check whether someone can actually boot into it.
Here's the ROM LewaXperia
PS: This is my first post on development front so please be gentle and Mods if this is not okay than please do let me know before you take any actions or suggest the right thing to do.
Regards.
Hi,
Guys can anyone please reply ? Did anyone of you try it ?? Results ??

Thanks a lot for the help !! I really Am trying to make it work,But its just not happening.
I tried to change bootclasspath as suggested by you but there is no init.rc in both the ROM's !! So what Am I supposed to do now ? In the extracted folder there is sbin (folder),logo.rle and init,Thats all there are no other file or folder like your video shows.

First off you posted in the wrong section. All questions, help and troubleshooting issues should be posted in the Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting sections. You posted in the sacred section of development where only developers should me making threads. Also you need to wait 24 hours before bumping your thread if unanswered.
