Alright, I am not a noob by any means BUT I am very new to Linux and Eclipse. Basically what I want to know is, what can I do (with research obviously) with these?

If i wanted to start making my own roms, is there a good guide on getting started? Also would i need to have linux installed on my pc to do so? The issue is i hate linux on my rig but i love it on my hero.
What's your favourite distribution of Linux? Not only on phone or portable device but also on desktop/server.
Then I will start:
1. Ubuntu 9.10
2. Damn Small Linux
3. iPodLinux ;P
4. openSUSE
and right now I'm downloading backtrack, I want to try it .
1. Ubuntu
2. Slackware

Jolicloud... we all love jolicloud...
- Ubuntu 10.10
- does Android count?
well i will say ubuntu but i didn't try any other linux distro yet (my desktop doesn't let me start the computer with linux so i can only install linux on my laptop )
Would have been Ubuntu... But now after seeing this I'm tempted by DSL and Jolicloud

Ahh yes gOS
I can't wait until their cloudOS is out...

Ubuntu, Android, ChromeOS, not necessarily in that order.
Ubuntu and Android. Those are the only 2 I've used.
Have to go with Ubuntu - It is almost brainless to install and maintain.
I used to use Fedora for a few years, but switched to Ubuntu for its more stable releases. I also am alpha testing Haiku at the moment. My little sister uses Jolicloud.
I just wish I could get the rest of the family to use Linux over Windows.
EDIT: I almost forgot that I'm running Rhobuntu on occasion when I need my Linux fix and am not near a PC.
Archlinux is best I've ever seem for personal use.
Ubuntu
Ubuntu live
Knoppix
Debian (server)

Only tried Ubuntu until now.
I don't think Android realy is a Linux distro, it's Linux based, but heavily modified, even Google said it's not Linux (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm a big Slackware guy. Been using it since the mid 90s.
Another Android & Ubuntu vote.
Seriously I want to vote for opensolaris but there are no upfront development on the desktop side, so I'd give fedora as my next best option.
Please!!!
any answer?????'

And chances are that you won't find a tutorial about how to cook a ROM for the X8.
In theory you have all the information you're possibly looking for around in the General Android Forums section as well as in the Chef section.
To build from scratch you need the Android SDK/NDK, the Android source code (you're most likely looking for the CM7 git sources), a kitchen, maybe Eclipse (the Integrated Development Environment) and a whole lot of coding experience to tackle the task. EDIT: You also need: A computer featuring a CPU supporting 64-Bit, a 64-Bit Linux distro (i.e. Ubuntu or Linux Mint in their x86_64 edition) and AT LEAST 8GB RAM to successfully compile Gingerbread/ICS.
The easier task might be to mod a existing ROM (of course ONLY with the express permission of the author of the ROM as well as of all other developers whose modules you are using), but even this requires a solid knowledge about what you're doing.
Oh, and you also need a phone where you can test out your ROM creation (just because it works in the SDK Emulator does not mean it works on the real device), and you need to be able pull your phone back out of "bad flash" in case your ROM or Kernel creation bricked your phone.
In short, the answer to your question is nothing more than reading up on lots of stuff and adapting things to the specifics of the X8 and porting a whole lot of stuff to make it work with the X8 (you know, the vanilla AOSP sources don't come with X8 drivers to support camera and so on).
As B.Jay said You need a looooooooooooooooooot of patience because every time something will go wrong. Also you must know how to analyze logs from terminal. It's really complicated stuff.

LOL...
Yeah, welcome to the fabulous world of open source software where there are always surprises upon invoking "make"
you have to become einstien of android if you want to make a rom!! lol
freshy wanna cook a rom..??
yeah U have learn from modify rom first
and when u aready know what the stuff very well
that is u r ready...
Or you could use ROMMODGEN.com

Why do you need 8 Gb of ram?
I was able to compile CM7 with 1,5 GB of RAM on virtual machine. It was compiling for about 4 hours + time to fix errors 8GB of RAM is needed to compile ICS, because it's a beast There's one rule - more RAM, quicker result for magic "make" command
Hello all. I've recently been trying to get into Android development, more specifically Kernel development. I've played around with some kitchens and looked at the GB kernel sources from Samsung and tweaked it around.
Previously I previously learned Java to a point where I can put basic lines down and also more advanced stuff but with a bit of help here and there.
I have one question though, what would be the recommended path for creating an ICS Kernel. My plan is to start of with something "stock" and build up but I'm not quite sure what to consider stock seeing as the S1 never got ICS officially. Would I have to use CM9's Kernel sources and if so where do I acquire them.
I also have a good understanding of Ubuntu and its terminal and have a functional idea of what I'm doing there.
Hey there,
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering why so many people use linux to build android apps. Shouldn't Android Studio be the same for both the operative systems? I've got a pretty decent computer, so I don't think I could see any speed difference. Currently I have both OS installed on my hard disk.
bad thinking
Its really bad thinking

What do you mean?
There is no big difference in developing android apps on Linux or win or mac . Linux is preferred because its free and android ROM and kernel development is easy on Linux compared to Mac and windows. Otherwise app development is same on all three OS .
