You will first need to grab the SDK and then grab the source code. You won't be able to compile it windows you will need to use linux. And of course there's alot of other things but I don't build roms so I can't tell you everything involved. Just my .02 cents.
Also there are a couple threads about this so search and see what they say.

Well you could set your laptop to have 2 OS's on it. So you can dual boot, one to windows and one to linux.

oooh ok thanks so all i do is just download linux then and im able to make roms??

Well downloading, installing as dual boot, and configuring Linux as well as the SDK is a good start. There is quite a bit more involved than you think and getting to know your way around linux is the best advice you're going to get as a start. Linux is a lot more than just point and click. I am sure there are many online books and forums to get you a basic knowledge if operating in Linux. I wish you luck.

How to develop my own rom????? Please help :)

I was wondering what do I need to know, or do, to develop my own rom. I was thinking of porting one of the roms here like froyobylazlo, and modding it. How do I mod a rom?
I have ubuntu 9.10, and sdk, and jdk setup. And I know a tiny bit of java.
Pleez help, I am desperate to start working!
P.S I already used the "search" function so please don't tell me that I'm too lazy to do that.

At the above, calm down. If you want to, just Google it and spend a few hours looking around on the internet. That should help. I've never done so myself so I can't add much more.

yeah im not that advanced yet either but so far what he taught me is the things i listed.. he just kinda helped me install them.. but what do you need help with? Do you have a virtual machine?
VirtualBox install that on your pc! than get the ubuntu .iso!
Ubuntu 11.04
create a new machine in virtualbox and load the lynix ubuntu.iso,
when its all installed you open applications> terminal and thats where you type all the stuff on here..

im not sure how to do most of this stuff yet but i will help you as he helps me

Thank you so much for helping me. I would totally appreciate it.
Umm i have virtualbox setup, and ubuntu but its an older version, ill update to the newer version though. i did play around with ubuntu for a while tho so i sorta know how to use terminal. Should we keep this on this thread or PM?

yeah i had an older version too but i had to update for compatability problems.. but im in the middle of installing java6 jre you might need this website lol...

good luck feel free to ask any question!!

i will! if i have any problems or questions whatsoever ill let you know..

oh yea one question, do i have to install sdk on ubuntu as well? or just on my pc?

sorry for delay but no you dont have to.. i have it on windows..

no worries, ok then cuz i already have it on windows as well.
Ive been looking into the links cyanogen posted in the some advice link you gave me, and i hardly understand anything, and its alot to learn, but ill keep reading.
So far, it looks hard to create my own rom.

yeah it gets pretty difficult but mostly consists of the lynix ubuntu and the source code repo link i sent you.. thats what im working on now.. lol

in that case, its not that hard..
cyanogen put links more for app devs..
i think thats why it seems so hard..
so all we have to do is repo, compile, build and thats it?
we dont have to write code or scripts and stuff?

yeah pretty much.. you have to edit scripts here and there to get things working if your going to mod it.. the link i sent you is to create a gingerbread flashable rom..

yea ezterryy's ezginegerbread,, do u have any helpful links for editing scripts/modding?

no not at the moment.. i only know about language so far..

ok thanks.. let me know when you do..
i really aprrecitate you taking the time to helping me.

My guess is you would also need an IDE like Eclipse to do the building in, and run an ant build to compile it all once done, though I've not tried to chew it off myself.
Does Android use J2ME? Or J2EE?
Anyone know? I do stuff at work on J2EE and J2SE, but never have jacked with the micro Java, J2ME API.

[Q] Where do i start?

Hi i've been using the x8 for 2 months now running on GingerDX v009.. I've learned many things from this community.. and i wanna learn more..
For starters.. How do i build a ROM? using ROM kitchen? if yes which one is compatible with our X8? Will i need extensive knowledge in linux or in programming?

With the ROM kitchen you don't actually build a ROM, you just give it some features (I've tried it). If you know anything about coding and stuff like that, I've been told that the android developers site is a good start. I'm a beginner myself. So far I've made only an icon pack apk LOL

I want to start too. Can you or any other give me an "How to start guide for NOOBS" for me? I'm really noob in this xD

Before you start developing, you should know how Android works. As I said before, you will find everything you need in the Android Developers site. And..c'mon! You can't start making ROMs when you haven't even made a simple app yet!

I want to start developing apps, and after that developing some modifications to existing apps and system files. When i know how to do that i can simply make a rom because i know how to compile roms on kitchen

Anybody knows any Dev Guide like the one in Android Developers, but in Portuguese?
It's better for me to understand. I can read and understand in English but is more dificult for me :S

Take a look at this.
I don't know if this is good, because I didn't read it all... but I think it may help you

(this link is in portuguese, so don't bother going there if you don't understand)

Online tutorials might help you... There are a lot of them out there... Choose the one which you feel is better... I'm also on the same boat as you..
I personally prefer "thenewbiston" channel.. There you can find tutorials for android application development as well as java(which is very important for app development)..
Then you can move onto cooking roms...
All the best....

[ROM Development] How to create your own ROM.

Hi guys
Enough of the bootanimations now I have done way too may and now I want to learn about building ROM. I want to design my own custom ROM, want to create it's own Kernel (just for information how to be advanced ) create own custom recovery, setting up GApps support editing updater script, build.prop everything.
I am a BIG TIME NOOB in programming so I want that I should be told every step of how to program even commands (kidding)
But I really have no idea with programming that much. All I know is to use dsixda's kitchen and few other NORMAL tweaks.
I know that there are all sorts of guides out there by great people like doomlord, mjraider etc( sorry know these two names only)
I want a full compact and complete package of links if anyone can provide me pretty please! I have searched s lot and all I found i was a big ZERO.If you are gonna say that it requires patience the test me I have a lot and dedication towards my work I'm a quick learner (proof you know as my bootanimations) so please bear with me ONCE! Provide a compelete set of BEST GUIDES OUT ON XDA FORUM and youtube video links if any that can teach how to to build a custom rom in which I can carry out themeing and other tweaks such as modding the status bar and battery icons etc. How to set my signature on ROM. EVERYTHING! I don't know much but you guys know what to cover in everything! SO PLEASE MY HUMBLEST REQUEST TO ALL JUST BEAR WITH ME ONCE I WILL BE HIGHLY OBLIGED!
Special Request to Mjraider : Sir I know you occasionally visit these threads and answer the questions, you are one of the biggest names here so please consider my request and help me once, I will be highly obliged:victory::angel:

@mrjraider hero around this corner
Dude, use the guides. No one can teach step by step of everything. Just read n learn is my best advice to you.

trial and error + research is the way how i have learned it.

First of all thanks for the reply.
Secondly that is what I mentioned in the thread that I searched XDA but couldn't find a single worthy guide that can actually define andything for eg updater script, tried googling things go way over my head :silly: You guys keep posting guides tweaks and tricks. That is why I requested that you must be knowing the best guides out that have all the information, I just ask that I want a complete bunch of links of guides here in reply so that I can go out in a flow.

I know that's the actual way, I also know that it isn't easy all I ask is for that someone just guide me the path like This is the way and I'll walk on it.
Just a guidance and that can be done by giving out the links here so that I can start and get going.

Haha. Thanks...
As a reply:
Just try. Keep a backup safe, follow the instructions and not much can go wrong
Edit: After I reread your question:
I cannt help you much but I can see what I can do. First you need to start. I have some update.script and adb knowledge so I can help you with that. But I am not a developer (I am a nurse actually )

That's what I am talking about!
Is there some guide or something that explains update.script and it's editing not in detail if then informative enough for me to begin with.
As far as adb is concerned then for that too a guide (I asks for too many guides sorry )

A guide about flashable zips/updater-script from there. See this also.

I am a noob to windows phones. Can you direct me to any links which helps me to gain knowledge on flashing custom recovery and thereby custom roms? Yes, I googled for it. But could not find good step-by-step tutorial. In all the webpages I have gone through, they just overlooked little things which is essential for a pure noob like me. Thanks". I tried to post it. But given a response with error
