Learning...

Where should i start first to learn how to code for android, make roms and compile the android tree?

or just a good place to start?

From what starting point?
Building android to make custom builds involves knowing lots of things; java, c, linux, gcc build system, android platform, etc, etc.
To make apps you just need to know java and the android platform.

Code for Home screen Pull up Menu
I have a similar request but was unsure if I should start a new thread, If this needs to be moved my apologies (I also searched through Q&A forums as well and came up empty ). Where or how could I get the source code for the Home Screen pull up menu? I checked out the Google Source Code but it requires Linux or Mac OS and I run Windows Vista.

i don't think you can compile the source code in windows

Yeah, I'm considering running Linux on my laptop alongside Vista, as I have hit dead-ends on a couple projects simply because you need Linux for different things . All I really need is a place that I could find the source; I had an idea that I proposed to mohsinkhan47 for his Vista theme and he asked me to find the code for the pullup menu. It would be much appreciated if anyone could guide me in the right direction.

i know where you can get the entire source code. grab it from here

Thanks for the link, that was the site that I went too before but says I need either Linux or Mac OS. Still scouring the android sites but coming up with nothing .

Yeah I do not think there is a way to compile the source in windows. I guess like stericson once said "you're going to have to get your hands dirty and use linux" (it was something like that.

Guess I gotta break my cherry sometime, thanks all for the advice.

Building ICS from source

Hey everyone,
I have my dev environment setup on my Linux machine, and am interested in starting an AOSP build of 4.0.4 (remove touchwiz and keep it stock), and have been following the guides for building from source, but I am stuck.
-setup dev environment
-downloaded source
-ensured I have all packages
where do I go from here?
In http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-android-from-source it tells me to setup a device target. I have pulled down the Samsung source files from their open source site. Where do I deposit these? Just a bit confused on how to keep rolling on this.
Thanks,

idea about source codes

since huawei is a fucctard,we should spam them every possible way to get the source codes,since without source codes making and fixing custom roms is harder.

Sure, try your best

LOL!
A little filter and they never see your spam

Try, but you'll not make it that far. Still, great idea. Source codes are essential for building a rom
P.S. If you spam them, tell us what they told you

haha,you people are funny!you all want custom roms but wont do anything to help!greedy capitalists ???

Huawei has released their source codes, and most problems in source code have been fixed (except HwComposer, HUAWEI doesn't give HwC's source code). And you can look at HiKey board 96, it is for development. You can join OpenKirin, or help them fix HwComposer(I opened an issue: https://github.com/XePeleato/HwComposer_Research/issues/1).
For kernel source, try:https://github.com/OpenKirin/android_kernel_huawei_alice
If you want to get a fully worked kernel source, directly call the FSF. Huawei won't reply our emalis.

gt-n7000 jb source code official

If someone still have source code from opensource.samsung.com, file named gt-n7000-jb-opensource-update2.zip or something like that, could you be so kind to upload it? Because, now, they have only one version: gt-n7000_latin_JB_opensource.zip and this version doesn't work for me.

OmnironChangelog open source now

Hi!
After I wrote to ByteHamster, the dev of OmniromChangelog, he made it open source now. It will also be available in F-Droid soon.

Big thanx for this!
