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.

Once your phone is Hardspl'd , you would have to make a real effort to brick it.
As far as Android goes, all Android for Kaiser is advanced alpha or beta. Again, read..read...read to find what is best for your needs.

So do you recomend to not chose Android, because it is just in beta?
Edit:
What can i do if i dont like Android/WM6,5? How do i find back to my original WM6,1? (With norwegian keyboard)

reflash your old rom.

I started with the tutorial to, and it works completely. if you do it that way.. Its impossible to brick it. Once you installed Hard SPL, it shouldn't be a problem ever, + you have to follow that tutorial once, after that you can just open the exe files, and start flashing fast. Aslong as you are sure that you installed HardSPL, And NOT soft spl. If you want to install a rom, you should read the thread about it carefully. Otherwise you might not have sound, or camera wont work etc.

Okay, but is it a way to get norwegian keyboard on WM6,5 or Android?

Don't know if this will help you:

I don't know if it is compatible with Android.. I'm not that familiar with Android, I have only tried it once. But in my opinion it isn't a full usable OS

So you dont recommend Android?

Personally Android on the Kaiser is still in the early beta stages, you still can't even boot straight into Android yet,you have to boot WM or Linux and then launch Android manually, plus there are still some basic kaiser functions that are still a little iffy on the Kaiser ports.
If your are a reader and tinkerer then by all means try. But if you are expecting to get a " Hero " or a " myTouch " out of your Kaiser, it is not going to happen and you should just stick with a good 6.5 or an even better 6.1.

Yea right. In my opinion Android is slow on a Kaiser. Because of the slow Processor. Thought it looks nice.. But not fully usable for personally use.

Phone Freezes Randomly (Magic 32B)

Well i´ve got a problem.
I´ve got a Magic 32B (i think its better in the G1´s forum) and it freezes randomly, since i´ve rooted it.
I´ve tried several roms, but the problem is still there.
I´ve tried some sd cards, but it still freezes.
I´ve updated the Radio and the spl (Radio : 2_22_19_26I & Death SPL)
well. i dont know what to do now. it freezes, the display´s still on, but its.. frozen. then half a minute later, it reboots. but its not a kernel panic. it reboots completely.
please help

There's only one thing to do in a situation like this.......
.........get a Dream (G1)!

thank you -. - i really dont need answers like this one.

Also, this is in the WRONG section, this isn't DEVELOPMENT its a Q and A so put it in the QandA section

reformat your sd card(fat32) re partition it , the wipe EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON YOUR PHONE, and flash a STABLE ROM. LIKE SUPERD OR CYANOGENS ROM.

I'm not sure where your problems can stem from.
That being said, I try some of the suggestions stated above, ie.,
1. Complete wipe
2. Repartiton SDcard
3. Maybe even invest in a new battery (you never know)
4. Those are the things I would've tried. Those same things can pretty much eliminate most problems.
5. If all else fails.........get a Dream (G1)
Or you could pray to the Cell Phone Gods...........
Seriously, I know I haven't been much help, but the suggestions I put forth is what I'd do.
Don't forget to pray!

Communities police themselves and don't need no STEENKIN' badges to do that. If you don't have an ARM compiler or the Android SDK on your computer you are not a developer and have no business creating new topics in this subforum.

Rooting your phone does not make you a developer. If you don't have an ARM compiler or the Android SDK on your computer you are not a developer and have no business creating new topics in this subforum.

You don't have to be a mod to know who is the intended audience for a forum section. If you expect free technical support the very least you can do is to help out the people doing it by filing your request appropriately and doing your own damn leg work.

Do YOU have the Android SDK or an ARM compiler installed? Then YOU bugger off back to Q&A.

Junior member wannabe fail?
Anyway, the main thing is is that if your phone is relying on your SD card like for Apps2SD you could run into some problems with a badly formatted card. Would you be able to post a logcat of one of these crashes? It would help a lot in trying to find and identify the problem and then fix it.

This sounds more likely to be a hardware issue, I've heard of many cases of it on the forums every month or so.

but why should it be a hardware issue? i mean, before i rooted it, it worked perfect. but now..

Yes, some people had the exact same hardware problem as you. You can try to un-root and root again but the problem may still be persist.

okay, thank you. i´ll try it tomorrow, then I tell you if it worked

Hey wazup man well i see what u talking about but i also have a MT3G (32B) and i had no problems with it. Its just depends of the rom you put on it cuz not all roms are stable some are beta or still working on the rom. So what you need do is find roms that are stable. Try find a rom in here go to the search Tap>and put this SuperCSDIX10 im using right now that rom and its FAST so hopwe it helps out

[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

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....

Unfortunately at this time, installing another OS on the phones other than what is already there. I'm a little confused with the ATIV 3 device. If you're speaking about the ATIV Tab 3 and not the ATIV S Windows Phone, then this is the wrong forum location.
If you can reply back with some clarification, I'll be glad to help.

Yes, im sorry i cannot quote i m on my phone, but as you said is the ativ tab 3
here you can see it
This one comes with w8 preinstalled but i ... hate ... windows 8. And i wanted an alternative to this software on a tablet that has a really good hardware and a lot of memory and hdd to spare, iknow that dual booting is possible but apparently only with androidx86, thank you for your answers

OK, that's a moderately-cool looking product, but there's a reason we hadn't heard about it here:
This is the Windows Phone 8 forum. That is not a phone!
