Simple informations about Android - Android

Hello my friend,
I'm software developper and cooker on Windows Mobile.
I would like to begin my Android cooking and have reading many tips on XDA, thanks a lot for this.
Nevertheless, i have some little questions....
In order to cook rom for android, it's possible to edit the rom with a kitchen and build a final ZIP rom in order to update with recovery menu.
But, if i want to update the latest android build, what is the way ?
* Need i to download the android source code and buid it ?
* I'm so sorry for this noob question but it's very hard to find "simple" informations about the different way of cooking on android. It will be very nice if anyone could explain the different way of cooking and this amazing os
Thanks a lot my friends,
Regards,
Nixeus

(all above links are in this subforum)
The build of android you cook is determined by the device you own. That's where you need to start.
1. Choose device
2. Look for device on xda forums
3. Look around the device forum you just selected, paying extra attention to the "<device-name> Android Development" subforum
4. Learn
Cooking for android (correctly) isn't learned overnight.

Thanks a lot

Hi Chris my name is Andrew and i might be able to give you some basic info and guidelines. First i would suggest using a ROM kitchen for basic ROM modding. I would recommend using Dsixda's ROM kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 .When you feel confident that you can get on tothe more complex stuff you can check my tutorial about compiling from source code http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667551 .After you get over that then the Internet should become your mentor in advanced source code editing (most of the time anyway but you shouldn't feel shy about asking something if unclear)

Don't be offended... but...
Basic idea of a developer is that he's able to search for his problem and find it's solution.
Let's assume you build AOSP, now, you are facing bugs (which won't be less), now, will you create a thread asking normal users on how to fix that bugs?
If they would have known, they would have made it too.
Likewise, if you are able or keen to develop for device and can't find something by searching (yes, everything is already present on this site, just needs some searching), I assume you'll have problems at each step.
So, first try to search, there are several guides in Android Software Development Section and Android Chef Central.
There is also Compiling from Source Q&A Help Thread to post you problem.
And, one last thing, starting development with a device like Ace S5830i is itself a very difficult task.

But, he is looking forward for development
Theming and modding is different from development
Actually, very different

What's up, how's Paraná? Greetings from Rio de Janeiro!
You know, you don't become a developer from an hour to another. I'm 16 years old, and i know it's a long way to go to be a developer. I'm learning a lot with all the members of Xda, like iamareebjamal, Sq Matrix and bieltv.3. Xda have tutorials and guides o' plenty for you to learn. So, i'll be waiting for your AOSP build.
