^^has a lot of good information

help me! please

Yes, I searched the internet a lot on how to cook ROM's but I couldn't find crap... Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to get started on this?

Theres no real tutorial for it....its really you know how to work things through experience,
There are a lot of useful threads on xda, but you have to find them and piece them together.

What about compiling the information into a HowTo format similar to the first Linux From Scratch book?
Possibly the Gentoo ARM handbook may be of help as well.

can you explain much more? what do you want to do?
I know with the android kitchen you can port a rom from a phone to another..
or do you want to compile os from source?

I want to understand the android plataform. I would like to compile from source to learn how the devices drivers interact with the system and maybe can help to solve the camera problem. There are many devices getting out with android os, has to be a way to configure/build from source files the full device support.

What is needed to help developers with the problems that have some rom's?

I am wanting to help developers of CM10 or AOKP rom JB, I have much knowledge in software programming, use GNU / Linux, but as I can not provide assistance, because they just want to be tester, also want to help them develop and correct problems.
I hope you can help me with this question, and I thank you from

Can you do a repo sync ?
Can you build source ?
What OS are you using ? (If it's GNU / Linux, then what distro are you ? )
Hope you answer all my question !

I'm using Debian Testing (Wheezy) to synchronize it was not very good, but I would like to learn it better.
Building source on that language?
Thank you very much for responding!

I don't know "coding by heart" or better, i don't know what it means(not a native speaker...).
I know some c Coding an Linux Module development.
Furthermore Java and the typical web technologies.
And a lot of linux administration and kernel configuration...

Well then you should be able to code android Read any guide?

No.
But Android apps and most framework parts are written in java, so the language isn't a problem.
Any furhter information is in the android api documentation, so i don't think this is a major problem.

Well if that's the case maybe you can make a build from winxusers git? It is the port that is the problem. He hasn't changed every I9300 to I9305 in the rom. Wich is a problem

I will lay down the details when I get home from the cinema

If we're all beginners anyway I'll throw my name in the hat. I have no idea exactly what to do but I am a skilled C and java programmer (more so java than C) and I have experience with the Android build system. If someone can guide me I'm sure I can provide assistance.

Thanks man! I have very little knowledge in porting roms but this should help! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598713

I'll check out the git when i'm @home from work and will try to build it.
I think i should start making a backup of my phone

Haha good idea

Still cloning cm10.1 sources, on my server @100mbit/s... then getting the compressed tar.bz2(thats faster than getting it directly via git to the local machine)

Tell me when it is done! We should be able to get it starting without anything working at least!

What about you? Checking out source and building?
What about using an instant messenger for short communication(google talk, jabber, whatever...) ?

Have a look in our dedicated app development forums. There are choices for which language you use, which platform you develop on etc.. Spend a bit of time reading what's gone on in there (a lot of questions similar to your own, actually) and see if you find something that you like the sound of...
