Well if you're already good with Java then that's a good start.
Not sure about ROM development but for general Android development you might wanna find this book "O Reilly Head First Android" and it will be the first link on Google. They are fantastic books, the whole series.
Hope this helps some bit.
with android development (apps and stuff)

I am sort of new to the android os and have kind of taught myself through use of this website how to manipulate the os to help benefit its use. thanks to all of the great dev's that have spent there lesiure time doing what they love. I was just wondering if anyone of those great dev's would take the time to maybe help me out with this development stuff. i kind of wanna learn how to write even just a small free app that i could put on the market to maybe help someone else out. i would need to have a dev who is basically looking for an apprentice, someone like myself who is ( in short a guy with no life ) someone who loves the computer and loves his android phone. i suppose there may be a dev out there that is looking to help someone else out that wants to do what they do, so i will hit all the sites that i have been for the last couple months, wiki, androidspin, xda, google...etc for any info i can read about development and the android os. thanks in advance dev's hopefully someday i will be "cooking roms" for the community to use!
Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and would like to say firstly, hello and thanks to everyone for the info!. I've had my Xperia X1i now for a year and love adding apps and games and stuff but Android caught my eye the other day and i've spent nigh on 4 nights solid, running in circles trying to get info on installing the right version but to no avail. Would it be possible please to let me know step by step on what to install, how to get the correct version and also how to "tweak" the startup.t please? I would be forever in your debt. Thankyou.
Where do you get the idea all those problems are already solved ? Maybe asking in that thread would help. AFAIK no progress was made beyond what what HTC users did.
Welcome!!!

If you're a lazy guy grab one of the packages our nice fella japanfred has put on his server. Get it here:

Please don't ask what to do with the archives, maybe you're able to point that out yourself

Much appreciated guys, and thanks for getting back so quick. i am at the moment trying to get my head round how much i need to play with this thing, (in a good way). I am in need of a good project to work on, and i think i've found it. Thanks again to you both. Hopefully speak to you in the near future.
Cheers.
I know, before you start calling me a n00b, that there is already a tread about this. The thing is, it seems that progress on both ALPINE LINUX and ANDROID has halted. Hopefully, Cotulla will release his WINMO 6 soon, but what about people that want a decent OS on their mobile? Come on, lets get porting, or, at the very least, will someone point me to a site where I can learn how to port the OSes?

this may can help you,waiting for your good news
Nothing? No-one willing to help me?
Well I want to get into android development... But I really don't know where to start...
Is there a guide or something I can look at to learn a little about this?
I'm a programmer but I have never gotten into OS programming nor anything too complex.
Anyway if someone can help I will really appreciate it
=)

a) If you're a "programmer" then u should either distribute a modified kernel, which frankly we have enough variety of but i dont want to discourage people so....
b) Or you could work on the cyanogenmod team in making it run stable on our phone.
c) Aside from those, you have stock "rom development" which comes down to unpacking, adding/removing, repacking....as ur dealing with proprietary code (closed source).
I'd consider the last option to be a waste of ur talent. Id go with option a/b.
So i spend alot of time answering questions and making guides, i also have a very large knowledge in the android OS not just the Moto X. So i thought i would try to learn how to make roms and other things for the Moto X.
So i was wondering if someone or a Dev could point me in the best direction on a couple things to help me start.
1. Good Guides on Rom development
2. Good Tools
3. what Programing languages i should learn.
idk i guess all in all just help me get started. i have a lot of free time and i am very willing to learn, so please dont flame me or tell me to google i know the rules i have been here for some time, but i just want someone who knows what there doing to point me in the right direction of things that helped them get started.
Thanks

I began to learn then stopped because i ran out of time but i just googled it. found results like this:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/xda-university-building-your-own-android-rom/
i think thats the top four responses which it would be silly for someone to retype all that info for you. Also, there are many different ways to build roms so there isn't one answer.
