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!
Hey guys, Ive had my phone now for little over a month and have been using CM7 since Nightly 36, and I gotta say i dont feel bad replacing my old iphone.
But now i wanna get serious and learn more about becoming a developer. Just wanna know if you guys have any suggestions on what books i should start reading or links if you have any on how to become a developer. any tips and suggestions would be a big help and thank you in advance.
Hello mate nice to see another Iphone use getting to there senses and getting a decent phone
I aint a devloper my self but i would also love to learn about everything you said, I downloaded a couple of books
Sams Teach Yourself Android Application Development in 24 Hours
Oreilly.Learning.Android
And to be honest it went way over my head and thats what put me off, everthing I tried didn't seem to work lol.
And it was more than what I could take in.
I sent you a PM
I once read a recommendation of a book named "Hello Android"
Seemed pretty solid to me.
can you develope and mod now???

Thanks but the part I want and says
The PDK site is absolutely vital if you are going to work on custom ROMs
The link says it no longer avaliable as its out of date are there any others
Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys.
So far from what i read you'll need to dl the developers tools first. Heres a cyanogen wiki link to show what tools are needed
: //wiki.cyanogenmod. com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK[/url]
next theres an east starter app that you make to get you started on developing apps. from the android website: ://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html[/url]
so thats what im trying to do rigt now. ill update you guys and let you know how it goes
Hey Samsung Galaxy S users as you all know that many developers have switched from our phone and since there are very good developers left here.I wanted to see if how many of you are interested to do something new for our phone.
I am just looking for developers I have some ideas to work around.
Just PM me/Post here..
hmmm... will this thread make any sense? Well sorry, I`m not a developer... never tried my skills on the real thing, but i think i know enough.. maybe someday ill become a dev *-* but srry, no developer right now
I'm a programmer but i haven't worked on phones/roms and stuff like that before. Will my skills be usefull?
Thinking of starting a development group wondering if any devs out there would be interested in forming a team getting some build servers and seeing what we can come up with feel free to post or pm me any questions or inquiries you might have.

we should start a google hang out and talk some time
What is your plans? Custom ROMs?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
really im up for just about any thing my plan was to get the people who would be interested in a chat and then see what we could all agree on but yes custom rom was something i did have in mind.
I think that write here is better than chat because others devs can follows our ideas and maybe join to us. For organizzation stuff i agree that hangout is better.
I would like integrate to Stock ROM some CM/Omni features in a way close to Cataclysm do.

By stock you mean Aosp right? My idea start with aosp base and then just merged in features we want. I also want to provide a custom skin that would be unique to us. Also i said hangout so we dont have to wait a day between responses we can hash things out more quickly over hangouts then just update a thread as needed.
PS: looks like we got another person interested i asked him to post in this thread so we can have every one interested in one place
Hey guys hi
Well I assume I'm the other guy ? Hah well I'm interested in graphic designing and I'm sure I could help you guys out
I had the exact same idea
I was thinking AOSP base as well with merged from cool featues from custom roms buuuut as a twist a major visual overhaul maybe? Like change a bit in the ui rather than sticking to all the other lolllipop Roms I can't exactly help in developing the ROM ... But changing the stuff in ui and theming ... And graphic design ( wallpapers and other stuff) :good:
Hope to speak soon
Yes ur the other guy or the meat of the sandwich lol and its like you can read my mind its exactly what i want to do

FINALLY!
I have been on a un-official XDA hangouts since the past one year and later it turned into a WhatsApp group. I've been pestering everybody on that group to bring in experts in all fields so that all of us together can cook something up. It didn't happen there, but looks like there is a chance for me here. Would love to join your creed. Please give me more details.

Hey man, u still looking to put something together? I have lots of experience, java, c++, python, core android development, and have been a contributing member of XDA for years, I took a break for a while, as I was getting my bachelors degree in software development, but I'm looking to get back into something, and it's always easier with a team behind u, I wanna do something original, not a blatent copy of all these other ROMs out now, let me know if u want a solid asset to join the team...

I kinda know how to compile roms but I want to work with others and learn.
Hey devs and gals... I feel like i'm new with HTC again since I've been a Samsung user for the last few years. Yet I decided to get an M8 and Sprint gave me a good deal with HKE...
So me having experience with rom and theming development for GSM Samsung phones yet I feel like a totally noob here with HTC and specially with it being CDMA network...
I did a lot of roms porting back in the day for Samsung phones too.. Again I would like to ask devs if they won't mind add me to their team or individual dev to help me out on refreshing my mind about how things work for HTC and CDMA network so I/we can start rom development.
101 views and no answer? Are y'all not interested?
Sorry I'm not a dev but thanks for offering your help

I do this for fun.. However when I used to be a Samsung user devs seems more friendly, we were like a big forum family lol.
We would help each other out.. It was not like who did it first or to each its own.
Maybe that is why this forum is like dead pretty much. There is no lots of devs an they dont seem to care or help anyone else.
If this was like on Samsung forum we would have a SENSE/LP rom up and running a long time ago.
I'm personally trying to get it to work for me. But being new to CDMA I have no idea how it works. But will get there eventually.
What exactly are you trying to figure out? You seemed a bit general in the post [emoji14]

All the devs that I'm in regular communication with are open to helping, but not giving hand outs, I was accepted by TensaiLabs based on what I was trying to do and the very specific questions that I asked. That being said I haven't dove into porting too much so I'm not much help but from what I know and what little help I was with the sense 6 port for the LTE you have to edit build.prop, change libs, and add in sprint files and boot.img
