XDA forum CMS? - About xda-developers.com

I'm curious what CMS this forum is based on? Is it custom, based off some well-known forum software?

Forums run on VBulletin (with many custom written modifications), the portal (News) runs on Wordpress.

OS only subcategory?!?

i was thinking that it would be nice to have a OS only subforum in herme/win 6/ ... because i'd like to see all the roms toghether....
Ummm, isn't this forum exactly what you've asked for?
actually not... i said something like having only OS threads inside... no other stuff related to wm6... programs, hacks, issues...
So go to the wiki and click the hermes cooked WM6 roms link - which lists the os's and provides links to the threads.
I am sorry to be negative, but to me this is just another pointless poll. Most roms are now released with a slimmed down os only as well, which you can find in the wiki. It is up to the developer of that particular rom if they want to release an os only version, and it would start to get a bit boring as all new releases usually use the same build number as another.

You can automatically install your applications with it, just after flashing a new UC compliant ROM.

pls post me a link
i've tried to search but i didn't find anything
no I can't. you didn't even state if you just want to flash a custom ROM or build your own kitchen. and I have no clue what device you use. So just sum up this information for yourself and type it up in search field.
Please look in the relevant section of the forum for your device.
Otherwise, WinMo 6.5.x kitchens and dumps are available from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445

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.

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.

Development Setup

Hi
I am looking into starting out in developing Android Apps and modding the Source OS itself. I have had a little search round on here but given the fact it seems impossible to force the search to use the exact search its bringing up hundreds of non-sense results (had to use google to find the modded Google Currents apk on this site).
Anyway what I am interested to know is what environment dev's are using and is it possible to do it all in a Windows OS or is this not a good idea?
Any help very much appreciated with getting good setup from the start and all opinions welcome.
Thanks in advance
James
1. Wrong section - should be in General
2. You'd have seen stickied right at the top of the General section this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386615
1. seeing as this is about android development I think it is in the right section especially as I have posted the exact same question in the general Android Q&A (Not phone specific) area and not got a single reply.
2. I would have seen the sticky if the search function on this site was written by a coder that died after Jesus!
Thanks for the pointer though its exactly what I wanted - thank you
The Development forum here is pretty much exclusively for ROM/Kernels, anything else goes elsewhere. Not my rules but you'll get flamed so better just to use General/Q&A for anything not ROM-related
Ah I see - I didn't know - thanks for this and the link!
Much appreciated!
all the best

Generally the development forums are reserved for sharing your work with others. ROMs, kernels, scripts, etc.
If you're familiar with Linux it's usually easiest to do everything from there, however I do a lot of my work while booted in to Win7 and run Ubuntu through Virtual Box. I'm set up to dualboot with linux mint, but I'm so used to windows that it's usually more convenient. Cygwin is also a very helpful tool to use if you are using windows.
The Android Development & Hacking and Chef Central forums are also good places to look for information.

I use Eclipse but just because that's what was suggested by google when you download the android sdk. I started to set up netbeans to try it out but never got around to using it
yeah I have eclipse and also read about it through google. Thanks for confirming this to be the best method, I shall give it a go.
Thanks very much for your help

if you want to develop android apps in java you install eclipse in windows. If you want to develop the kernel or roms in c++ you install ubuntu linux in a virtuak machine on windows.
