hello every one
im new here and i really want to start developing my DHD
so if i wanna learn how to make a ROM, skins...etc
where to start and what do i need ??
learning Java script maybe ??!
If I'm not mistaken, themes/skins are done for particular ROM.
For ROM dev I'd start searching forum, and reading stuff like this:

If I helped, please press Thanks...

Google itself has a good guide for building Android from source. Start with a working manifest.xml from a dev here. You need to know Java not Javascript.
If im not mistaken you need a environment built first. Something like whats described here http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

Here's my advice for those looking to make their own Android ROMs.. Stop. Write an app or two first, learn how the system works from a developer standpoint. Learn some Java. Read the developer documentation. Learn how to use Git. Then learn how to build AOSP from source. Read the porting guides, and learn how the build system works (the links below have almost everything you could possibly want to know). Now try to put your new found skills to work on enhancing the platform by writing code or making theme overlays. And share! And put that **** on your resume. There is a *ton* of information out there but any kind of "step-by-step rom cooking guide" is going to be a complete fail- it's too broad of a subject.
Android Developer Guides: http://d.android.com
Working with AOSP source: http://source.android.com
Platform Developer Guide: http://pdk.android.com
Android Gitweb: http://android.git.kernel.org

The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs. Read every single page. Twice. Some of the info isn't up to date, but you'll get a really good idea about what goes into actually configuring Android to work on a real device.

Sorry in advance if there's a tutorial already out, but i can't seem to find it. I want to begin by modding themes. I have d/l and installed apk manager, sdk tools, java, eclipse and have, as far as i know, associated everything properly. My prog exp is little: some visual basic and turbo pascal in college, along with a flirting fascination with assembly. My thought was i would begin by modding code instead of learning java outright, but if i have to learn c or java that is just fine. where? Anyway, every time i run script.bat in apk manager, i receive an error. Put .apk in mod folder, run script.bat, start project (the .apk is (1)) 1, decompile...error! what am i doing wrong? If anything, just point me in the direction of a good tutorial.

I'm not sure if what you're looking for would be there, but have you checked the General Android Development forum? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
I'm sure you would be able to get more detailed help there, since you are talking about non device specific development. Good luck!

Thank you! I've seen some, but not all. I have a nitro, so dev would be geared towards that. further along i was/would ask how you get the emulator to approximate the lg nitro, but for now i thought i'd stick with just requesting a solid tut.

Never messed with it, to be honest... I've got so many things I want to do but can't seem to find a good starting point for any of it. Pretty sure I've downloaded eclipse, JDK, and the android SDK in both windows and linux environments but that's about as far as I've gone... I may have installed them, not 100% sure. I get side-tracked too easily. :cyclops:

Depends on what exactly u want to do. For kernels U will need to do C but most people would say you are best starting on Java although that's an argument in itself. Java, XML , C, C++. Android is a bit of everything. If you don't know bash though u should learn that before anything IMO. Maybe some Python also. Search the web there are many basic tutorials. As it is with everything u need to learn the fundamentals first.
thank too much
i will try to learn bash and python then i will start learning c
Hello Everyone,
My friend just told me about android app development.. I got myself a Htc M8 for this purpose and i hope to start developing themes to begin with. To do that I will need some help. I want to use Android studio over eclipse as I was told AS is better than Elpse. I need some guidelines on how to develop themes. Now I am not a computer student and I definitely don't have programming skills but I am a fast learner..
Mail me here or [email protected].. I will be waiting patiently..
Thank You

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure most people aren't going to give you any sort of help. At least with my experience.
If you want to learn then go through the forums. There are countless guides on editing apps and theming. Look up apktool. And obviously adb.
Familiarize yourself with how everything works. With your device and how to recover from bootloops if you make a mistake.
You will also need to know how to edit XML. Files once you get deeper into theming.
There's just too much to explain
Tip 1 : try VTS (google for it)
Tip 2: make up your mind on what you want to theme, is it android system itself then i should wait for android 5 sense to drop because it will have many changes in decompiling the apk files
I want to port a ROM to my old phone (s3ve3g) for fun. I haven't done anything regarding ROM Coding, but I was searching for a while on the Internet and couldn't find any good guides.
So how do I get started? Idk if that's important, but I know Java & C++...
