I'm willing to test any and all roms, themes etc. for any devs. Just let me know. I'll be getting a different phone so I'll just use the Zio as a testing ground!
okay guinea pig... since the rom seems to be deodexed. see if any of the blackbar mods for froyo work
I'm already a step ahead of you. Ill post what works tomorrow.

Sorry for the late reply. I've tested three of the black status bars without any success. Still learning.

Where is the status bar located within the file system? I want to see if there is anything I can do.

Well Im going to teach myself Java because supposedly it is prerequisite for learning to develope for android. I came across good 101 Java tutorials online. I just really want to mod roms for my zio and maybe even start creating an app.
Any ideas?
I'm currently taking Linux+ so I should be of some help.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Yeah I'm not going to start taking OS classes for my major until I start taking core classes. In either case Im going to start early with Java. My school library has older editions of Java textbooks I think but I'm to check them out AZ well.

You can develop full apps with java and xml for the layout. Being familiar with linux is also a must, since android is just a linux flavor.
http://www.thenewboston.com/ is a great place for a beginner or guru. Tons of video java lessons as well as android development.
Linux has helped me with the file system. Although I still have alot to learn before I am any kind of guru.

everything of importance on android phones is written in java.
But the kernel and file system is Linux based. You have more on your phone that you wouldn't think you would have on a phone.

Yes, the OS is linux based, however all the apps are java based.

The Android platform is basically a linux flavor. It contains more then a linux the file system and kernel. Yes exactly what I posted, Java may be used in android development. That is not the only language, There are a few others including C.
Thanks for claryfing the different programming languages and their relevance to the cell phone structure and android OS.
Java and linux are both important for exploiting and developing in other words.

Thanks I will try that
if you know anything about variables and values, if and switch statements, and booleans you could use appinventor. No java experience needed. You cant upload the apps to the app market, yet, but you can test and run on your own device. I'm pretty sure you can send a link to folks you know to download the app too.
You can use the Google App Inventor. It's kinda like the old visual basic, etc, but it should give you a head start...

Hello devs. I was wondering if n e one could make me a deodexed 2.2 rom that is themed black and red with blur, with custom icons. Pretty much like stock with the exceptions of the bloat, yet keep the dialer settings (##program#) and such. Would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: if posted in the wrong section pls move. Just thought since it pertained to development that i should post it here. Thx mods.
flash a deboat rom, and theme it yourself. there is a good guide in the dx wiki. i have personally tried some theming and to be honest, its not that hard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749333
i have. but most of them remove the programming menus. thats y im looking to the devs for help. or a fast way to deodex and debloat my stock rom. tried rubix blurry but it kept giving me problems with my net. and marketplace.
Sent from my DROIDX using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
why do you need the menus? if you really need a rom, make it yourself. it cant be THAT hard for a simple debloat...
it shouldnt be. but working 60+ hours between 2 jobs gives me little to no time to work on my computer. otherwise i would have. i usually download roms through my phone and then flash em.
Sent from my DROIDX using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
oh as to why i need them, im on cricket service so i have to have them for when the phone decides to act stupid and switch up the settings. which happens every now and then with the stock rom for some reason.

Just as an fyi... without any java programming skills, it is VERY hard to develop a ROM. I'm not trying to be rude, but you can't just decide, hey, I want to make a ROM and do it. Having some background in java development helps. And even then, it would take some knowledge of the way Android is built, as it has its own classes and activities that aren't native to Java I believe.
What books or pages of Internet do you recommend me? (if it's in spanish better but it doesn't care me if it's in English)

Get all the documentation you need, on line straight from the horse's mouth.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index.html
Sun originally developed Java, before Oracle bought them out.
The "Java resources" panel to the right contains some pretty useful stuff.
Like C# and the .NET framework, Java has thousands of objects you can use, to the point of almost total confusion.
You will need to keep one eye on the API definitions, unless you have a specific IDE that is aware of the version that you are trying to code, and can prompt you for the parameters to methods etc.
It is currently only in English, Chinese or Japanese.

IMO it would be better to buy a book that teaches Java... it is not a simple language so you'll have to study it very hard
Use roseindia website. Java mentals and genious group there. All tutorials are there.
Use console dont use IDE for beginning. Good luck.

Also this site here is great! I've taken a look at it and it teaches the basis of the language, very well done.

Google is my master for programming.
Sounds cheesy, but I am serious. I usually look for ebooks and youtube tutorials through google. I think someone above has already suggested this, but boston tuts is great. Other than that, I use stackoverflow for any questions i have. they are a very professional community that is able to provide very clear and detailed answers to any problem you are having.
Just make sure that you program while you learn. Just watching 3 hours of youtube tutorials will not help you. You will definitely have to spend a considerable amount of time actually writing programs and debugging them(80% of that time will be you banging your head on the keyboard : P )
Stackoverflow good for android too. Main is usage of our own brains. Even oracle may not help in many cases.

it depends on which part of android you want to develop java is a very small part of android, basically apps... xml is pretty much everywhere... but i would recommend to study C because you need it for kernels and many other stuffs
Look I am not interested in kernel right now but want to develop apps & port mods too ? Any idea what I should focus on ?

Java it is.
But learning C won't be a time waster because its the kindergarten class when a student wants to become a programmer. But for the sake, learning Java is more than enough to develop apps.

I as well am just entering the world of developing. I have never used java or any code for that matter. Ive read alot and id like to start modifiying or porting small android apps and widgets. I have as far as i know, everything required (android sdk, jde, eclipse..) but im still somewhat in the dark about decompiling, changing content and eventually recompiling. Any tips for a Newbie making his way?

okay so my understanding is android is pretty much an arm distribution of linux with an emulated interface/virtual machine/ cute green
little robot mascot thing running riot all over it.
that said, i've used some cross-compile stuff before and it works well enough.
the file system IS there so theoretically we should be able to linux up even more under the hood
without losing the paint-job , right?
personally i didn't like ubuntu touch and the whole vnc thing is wildly annoying
maybe adroid is a little weak in ways it really shouldn't be but it does have a sweet usable interface meant for
these devices.
alternately you could find an officially labled arm-linux distro break out a scalpel and get to work.
Uhm, kind of.... You will have to have some sort of ROM running, unless you built it yourself... Ubuntu touch is available but its gonna have to be ported to this phone, cyanogenmod is about the closest thing you get to native Android. Sense is just a skin that HTC uses just as Touchwiz is a skin for Samsung. You can remove all Sense from the phone and run native Android, which is built off of Linux but not a part of Linux per say...

elaborate on Uhm, kind of... I'd like to know what you see.
Where i'm at with the thought is at the kernel for starters, it is linux kernel right ?
meaning if you put a hat on a pig the pig is still a pig
and as far as the vnc trip i'vd pull stuff out of the experiments ann then messed with them
some things worked, some things with linker error, and of course permission denied
there's a barrier between android/linux but i think it's flimsy
i had one succes with cross compiling something one time from a tutorial
so my thought was if i get a handle on the dependencies for any small linux program
cross compile it for arm and get it to work then i'm not entirely off
yes, no maybe ?
In a sense Android works the same as a Ubuntu. It's just that Android has it's own build. It's like having a Kubuntu compared to Ubuntu compared to Windows.... Android has instead of .exe it has .apk and .jar it's basically a Java program with its own code built into it Smali... Yes it was compiled and built on a Linux but no one ever said that it was was running Linux through its blood. Yes with ARM you get more Linux capability, but it still lacks... You can change the boot of a pc from Windows to Ubuntu , but things May be broken.... Like I said you'd have to tinker with it all... There are limitations though you just gotta find them...
