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)

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

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.

Theming and modding is different from development
Actually, very different

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.

Hi,
I am a noob to Android development because I am just venturing out of Bada development, even though I will continue to develop Bada
I have decided that the ROM will be made for Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro
Since, me and my team of developers are new to this, we need the help of some experienced souls
I am reading and following the android custom rom guides, here at XDA
Can anyone help me in this development process?

I think The Best Way to create a Custom Rom Fast N Easy is to Create it by Android Kitchen.
Look in the android Cook section and XDA university. Avoid kitchens. They are not for people that want to learn to develop android roms, they are basicly for noobs.

Can anyone please provide a proper, elaborate guide for compiling roms for miatoll tree? Have time in lockdown and eager to learn the process.
The guides on google are way too generic or backdated. I guess it'll help many people like me if some DEVS took the time to write a guide which shall in turn, in my opinion promote more development.
Come on,some devs got to give something... I know I'm not the only one looking for this.....

Do you think following a "guide for compiling roms" enough to compile roms after roms... it's not so easy. I'm not developer, only was curious to try to build roms for my phone. All information you can find on the internet, just need to search.
If you really want to start and learn, first step is to prepare your PC to android build, ex.:

Hello, every one.
I am a beginner of this forum.
I had a Huawei Gr5 rogers version, i tried lots to upgrade my phone and successfully upgrade to android 10. With the instruction of this forum i just flash lineage os 17.1 to my phone, i used rom for honor 5x.
It is not too hard to find the way to flash my phone.
I did struggling to root huawei gr5, but after keeping trying and searching, i did my work.
I want to learn how build and modify ROM for smartphones, not just for GR5, and try to get android 11 to my phone, enven 12, because after lineage os 17.1 there is no develop code for honor 5X. I saw a person who named "Boom_hacker" is working on lineage os 18 for honor 5x. i want to be like him to develop code for my phone, even other phones
I am working in Mechanical Engineering, but i like to learn knowledge of IT, i start from Zero to learn linux and use linux.
I need help for recommendation to learn how? Like some books i can read to develop my skills.
Is it too hard for me? Maybe i can learn some skills to modify rom based some people's work.
I learn those skills just for fun, do not think i can be a professor on developing android codes.
Please give some suggestions.
Thanks your time.
