I am getting the hang of android but after the last 7 years with RIM im out of touch. A lot of options when upgrading and using custom roms, kernels etc.
If someone would be so kind as to help me out over PM? I have a couple and probably fairly simple to all you guys. Yes I've done lots of reading and searched the forums. Been a member for awhile.
Thx guys

I would just like to thank everyone here for their help! I've been modifying everything I own for years and so far this is the best experience I have had with fellow modders.
I've been a member for about 2 months and I really like the fact that everybody helps each other out (roms, donations, themes, skins, etc). After trying to help with the afore-mentioned topics (and failing at most); I figured, the one way I could actually contribute the most is help out with the website.
I currently work as a website engineer (C# ASP.NET). If you are ever looking to switch from PSP to ASP.NET, let me know, I will gladly help out in any way possible; I have years of experience creating web solutions.
If your interested, PM me. If not, I'll just keep trying to cook roms (and fail miserably).

Hi Guys,
So I looked in the general android development and DINC development but did not really find much. Basically I am looking into getting into Android Development. I just graduated Clarkson University yesterday and am going to work for Procter and Gamble and am going to have a lot of free time nights/weekends and want to get into this. As for my coding experience, I do not have much in java, however, I have taken a few comp sci classes in high school and have used MatLAB and LabVIEW a lot during college as a Mech E. So I am very familiar with coding and the logic behind it, just a matter of learning a new language.
I have started by downloading the Android SDK (just updated to 2.3) and have been doing a few of the tutorials they have on developers.android site such as Hello World, however this seems more geared to developing apps, which I do have a few ideas for. But what I would like to get into right now is some ROM development for the DINC as I have a few ideas for this too and would like to start with this.
So I was wondering if anyone could give some device on how they got started? Just pulled the code from HTC and opened it up and started looking around? Do a lot of you use Eclipse for development as they seem to suggest for apps? Is there any good guides to getting into ROM development as I have not quite found any? Also does anyone have any ideas and need some help work on things, I think this would be a good way to learn.
Thank you,
Brendan

Just realize it is a lot of work. You can start from pure source, or from CM, or CVPCS. Starting from pure source will give lots of problems but will probably teach you a lot about the system. Either way those links should be of some assistance. Look at CM device setup to see how device setups work. He has a working setup for most devices.
Alright! Another one comes aboard. Good luck man, keep us posted, ask questiions here cuz most are very knowledgeable and willing to help out. Dont give up, get us something 2.3 and very much thanks in advance for doing what you do.
Glad to see a thread like this. I have been interested in doing ROMs for a long time now but didn't really know where to start. This should get me running
If you run into any problems don't hesitate to contact me. You can reach by twitter at @linuxmotion or pm me for an email. Though I am relatively new, I can surely help if the you want some. Hope those links helped

I would just like to drop in and say THANK YOU to the xda community as a whole.
i am not overly knowledgeable about these things. and the people here have been such a huge help.
originally all i wanted was to optimize my new tablet when i got it (acer a501) did a lot of reading and decided i wanted to root witch was easy... but i hit a snag wile flashing from one rom to another.
and the help flowed in. fast and helpful responses. while i was freaking out thinking i bricked my new toy, my helpers were calm and on point, and got me thru it. and they had no problem taking the time to teach me things that i asked about. now im helping people with simple problems so the experienced people can take on the big jobs......until i learn
so THANK YOU to the devs, cooks, and all the knowledgeable people that make up the best forum on the net.
THANK YOU!!!
I'm going to second this one. I don't usually do florid thank-you posts, but I really do appreciate the work going on here. xda gave my phone a second chance at life; WinMo sucked battery life and performance, but with GBX0B my phone feels like it's at least a year newer.
Thank this page and all people who are intetested in modding of Android

I want to say thanks as well. I discovered this site through a friend. I came here, read through on how to properly install rom and then downloaded a rom and it worked So yes I am on my way. I am not completely new to the Android world but when you deviate you tend to forget things. This site is bringing it all back to memory and helping me discover new things.
I would like also to show my appreciation to this forum and for the many people that support it and it's users.
It is been great on my side and greatly helpful.
I too would like to send out a HUGE thank you to all in the xda community for the compounding wealth of knowledge and experiences within.
It's taken me a little while to get where I am today, but like all things... persistance pays... but could definately not have gotten there without you all.
Thanks so much for all the help! This forum honestly made it really easy to start rooting and flashing. I remember getting my first android phone this year and boy was it difficult figuring out what everything meant at first... Thanks for keeping my G2x alive and well

Thank you all at xda, You know that age old question what am I going to do with my life? Well mine got answered. I allways wanted to go to school for something with computers, i love how it works and I pick up on it very fast. Was thinking computer eng. but not anymore software eng. Thanks to playing with these roms and now I just want to make them myself. So as a first post I had to say thanks.
I want to join thanks. My knowledge of English is limited. but thanks to you, I have successfully mastered the rum and firmware. understandable and clear descriptions and instructions for the beginner.
in Russian forums (4pda.ru and et.setera.. ) all make a mess and difficult.
Online xda, with my poor knowledge of the language, I quickly figured out
I want to thanks to alll ! Great Job XDA ! Cheers
You're Welcome

I also would like to extend my gratitude to these forums..
I have been using opensource for ten years so getting answers on google and forums is a must sometimes.
I am very new to android and smartphones so naturally I had 1.5 million questions as I rooted, installed a custom rom, and installed my other high end useful apps. And I have yet to have to open a forum thread with a question.
Thank you
Ty CDs thanx to you all for helping root my nook my LG thrill and my HTC vivid

Thank you all XDA... The best android support... My SGS says thanks
This forum has been awesome at teaching me how to do certain tasks I couldn't previously have ever done with android.
I mean, honestly. I play with tech all the time, but I never really got in depth with ANYTHING until coming here, and I never really posted anything.
So here's to all the devs. Keep up the good work guys! I hope I can get good at this and help you in any way I can.
