New Dev - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I would like to start developing roms and apps. How do I get started? I have experience coding in Java and C but I assume Linux is much tougher. Can anyone hook me up with the resources I need? Tutorials? Tips?

If you want to start making roms, you should start here: http://xda-university.com/
I'm also just new into this and it's really usefull.
Happy to see more people trying to get into developing, especially when it's for the vivid

Looking For Keen Developers PLeasse Look Thanks

As we all Know Danny_jo is leaving us
The reason for this thread is i would like some keen developer to help create a new rom
as we know danny_jo wildpuzzle has powered most peoples roms but as he leaving i thought i would like to take jump and create with developers and see if we can produce as good quality as danny_jo had and continue with in proving the wildfire
Me and MelvinChng have come up with some crazy ideas that requires alot ov xml and modding to get the best phone space and best performance from the wildfire
so if any of u developers are wanting to join in and help or even some one who is new new development and wants to help please dont be shy if u have a skill that would support the creation of the rom then u more than welcome to join in
There's already enough mods out there.
Why not talk to an existing mod team and give your ideas?
But as I see it, all the things we "need" are already in the mods.
Cyanogen 7 FTW.
I would like to help you guys out..

Suggestions for guides?

I've been searching around but haven't been able to find any very helpful guides.
And seeing the lack of interest from most dev except the few great ones we have is making my interest peak in finally learning.
So does anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA App
What are you trying to do? If it is root phone, etc. look under development at the superguide. Otherwise for development look online at books and read the reviews to see which ones are better.

We have a great general knowledge guide in the general section. As well as the superguide, index, and all in one tool. Not sure what else you're looking for...
Whoops sorry about missing some info in my post. Wrote that right before falling asleep. I'm looking for tutorials and guides to building custom roms and such. I've been doing the basics of rooting and flashing for the last few years and now want to try going a bit more in-depth.

Thanks for the tip. I'm looking more into trying to compile my own kernel atm. I know its a lot harder to start but we all need to learn somewheres .
I'm playing around with trying to build a asop kernel. Haven't really found a 'definitive' guide to start with unfortunately. Cooking a Rom seems to be the most popular options at the moment

Check the tutorial in

Contains all you need. Kinda dumb question
Greets!
I'm not a fake.
I prefer people to reply to me and give feedback instead of thanking me!
But thanking me does show if you apreciate my works.
I actually cooked up ics with sense 3.5.1

S-off discussion

Starting this thread for any discussion of the s-off tool in development or s-off talk in general. Hopefully this will help keep the development thread clear of chatter.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Good idea, I wish there was more of this on XDA.
Perhaps if for each development project there was a dedicated thread for chatter, expressions of thanks, etc people would feel more comfortable using it.
Development threads might not grow to thousands of entries, with almost 0% of the entries actually about development.
I'm new here, post count is very low - but my posting habits won't change when I eventually get to 10 posts - unless I do get around to actually doing some Android development I can't see a reason for posting in the dev area.
I guess though that some dev's may prefer it the way it is, as a sign of recognition, or something...

thank you for doing this, i was just thinking the same thing
Yay we can yap! ..lol.. is it done yet? Jk..i hope we get it soon. I hate being left behind on GB cuz of my non-upgraded bootloader..
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using Chuck Norris.
Honestly you are not missing much imo. GB was so damn efficient I don't see a huge revolutionary change. ICS is very smooth and fast with the help of the developers many to be named I don't want to leave anyone out. But don't feel like you're so far behind bc you are not. Only recently has there been a few more roms to try out.
will s-off make it say easier to get ASOP type roms on to this phone?
Not necessarily, but it will work for all devices (vivid, holiday, velocity) with no porting and wou will be able to flash everything right from your phone, no computer needed.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Having s-off has its advantages. Having being part of the beta I can tell its great.
The best for it is being really for developing New Roms and aosp. Makes a lot less of a hassle to flash New kernels and firmware.
I'm sure we won't have to wait much longer for the beta to be over, its a fairly simple process but they have to make sure its foolproof so we don't have a lot of bricks like we suffered with the ota release that happened.

yeah i'm hoping for a hTC One X port that way i don't have to run out and get the One X when its released here in Canada and be stuck with the low 16GB and non expandable memory.
I mean who comes up with these ideas to ofter 16GB for the LTE version yet the Internationale has 32GB.
Anyways getting off topic S-Off WOOOT

Bananacakes love your holiraider Rom and I could see you doing some great things with sense 4.0. You should lurk the irc channels a bit. Seems like the easiest way to get any news about s-off is just hanging out in the channel. I was really lucky to be there at the right time and got it. Don't bug them but mention your a dev and you'd like to be able to work on ics builds but you have a raider.

uhmmm, but I don't know sure how I gets a s-off..
and I would like feedback on that issue but i don't know English well enough to give appropriate feedback.. So I figured the sensible thing to do was to wait..
Am I understanding the situation correctly?

Hey man, good stuff! I've been a developer for years, but just getting into Android dev as of late. Good luck with the Sense 4 stuff.
same here ^_^ working on my first rom.. already did some framework-res mods and stuff xo but yeahh it is dead around here we need more devs .!
I was thinking about this too. Where does one learn? As in, what are some good books to buy on the subject? Thanks in advance.

Depends entirely on what your experience is. There's a big difference between learning to cook having never cooked a thing in your life, and learning to cook French cuisine if you're already a master sushi chef.
I'll play it safe and say I've never cooked a thing in my life, but my dad is also a system engineer and could help if I needed it. I'd rather learn without his help.

Start with an RUU. Run the RUU on your PC. Stop at the first screen after it's done loading, don't proceed, but don't close the window. Start/Run and type %TEMP% and hit enter (this will take you to your user temp folder). Sort the folders by date and open the newest. Here you should find Rom.zip. Use this as your base ROM in the kitchen. Root it, deodex it (or not), zipalign it, etc - and you end up with a flashable ROM from an RUU
