Go to the forum home page and click on android development. Look at the stickies. They will help you get started.

There are many tutorials within these forums that explain what I believe your are trying to do. Posting a question in this sub-forum is kind of rude. I would suggest doing lots of searching and reading. When you have a general idea of what you are doing, asking intelligent questions to a developer you like and learning from them.

Not rude just slightly inexperienced, but that's fine, at least this is relatively developement related. Alot better then some questions that get asked here.

Moved to Q&A.

Making a ROM and making an app are two totally different things. First you need to decide what you actually want to accomplish. Then read up as much as you can and ask more specific questions.

You are right about "better than some", but I have looked into developing and it is very intricate process. I would do more if I wasn't in school at night and with my very young son during the days. Just asking someone to outline the process in a forum seems crazy. How hard is it to research the subject before asking detailed questions?

Can anyone help/lead me..

As the title says, can anyone help me or lead me to themeing or writing codes for these roms, building my own Rom , apk, kernels or anything that relates. I would like to know how its done and if I can help to community out in any way. Take a big interest in this. Thanks

Do a search in dev section for everything android. I put a bunch of things together in one package for those looking to start out.

You'll probably want to familiarize yourself with linux. I would start there for kernel development.

Developer.android.com is I think where u wanna start.
I don't agree with familarizing yourseld with linux...but I do think you likely need to start with getting a dev env up and buildinf a rom from source. I would also suggest startin in an area less likely to brik you phone if you mess up
Not a dev but mho anyhow

Considering kernel development must be done within a linux based environment, and is based on linux anyway, I would seriously think a basic knowledge and understanding of linux would be a good starting point before going any further...

Advanced knowledge of Linux and C. Kernel development in no joke. You could also copy and paste certain features from other kernels; in that case you need a decent understanding of C and Linux.

I stand corrected. Sorry for the misinformation

[Q] Compiling Android from Source for Evo 4G

I'd like to start poking around a bit with the Android source; but had a few questions and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I just watched XDA's blog regarding compiling Android, but it was all for devices that are made for the native code - and as we all know, the Evo is not one of those.
So I figured before I jump into this and go through all the trouble of setting things up and all, I wanted to ask - what would I need to do differently to compile a flashable zip for my Evo? Obviously I can't go straight from the 4.0.3 source, so where would I be able to find a compatible repository for the Evo?
If I could find something that would work to begin with without any tinkering then that would be great (And then I could break it later while I learn and play around a bit )

Search for a thread in the dev forum by lithid-CM. Its a guide and a good place to start.
Good luck.

[Q] Looking to port

I've found quite a few guides and tutorials for porting roms, but still kinda confused :what:. Would love to port some crazy roms to our phones. Heck, I would love to cook a rom too, but it all seems overwhelming :banghead:. Don't exactly know where to start, even though I already know about Chef Central. Is there any guides that describe things with easy to understand processes? Thanks in advanced everyone.

Take a look at the links here, not necessarily porting but they come into play with anything android
