[Q] Integrating Android on an ARM Board - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good Day XDA!
I'm just asking a little help because i don't know where to start to.. I do have a project in school that will use ARM Board and Android OS. I have bought an ARM Board but I don't know where to start to in integrating..
1. The ARM board has already installed Android OS 2.2 but I want to install a higher version of OS. Can someone give me an advice or tutorials that can help me to upgrade or to build android for an ARM?
2. I've seen the article about building android from source but I don't know what's next after building the source from Linux OS and in building boot loaders and drivers.
3. What are the ways in making applications pre-installed aside from ADB? Is it possible to have a pre-installed app in a custom ROM?
That's all! Thank you!

[Q] How to begin developing android ROM

I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself

[Q] running OS Ubuntu on Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 a.k.a Samsung YP-G1CW/XSE

Hello guys, before the question, i am sorry if i am little english. i look some website that running Ubuntu on Android Device.
I am sorry i am new user in this site, so i can't using outside links in this posting, but you will find if you search on google about this.
i have some question about this case:
1. i am using Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 4.0 a.k.a Samsung YP-G1CW/XSE what ubuntu can running on my device?
2. How with OS Windows? what windows can running on my Device? Windows XP may be, or Windows 7..
Please Help me, i need to running other OS on my Android Device.. Thank's Before for your answer
There are two ways to run another OS on your device: chroot and qemu. You can run Ubuntu (or any Linux distribution that supports ARM processors) with little effort using the chroot method. Look up "Ubuntu installer free" in the store and it will walk you through. It may not work on the stock kernel, so make sure you have the kernel from these forums that fits your device.
The only way to run an OS like Windows is by virtualization through qemu, because it doesn't natively support the chip in your Galaxy S Wifi. This method requires a version of qemu compiled for ARM and additional libraries, which I have not gotten to work successfully on this device. (Anyone else?)
So I'd suggest just trying to get Ubuntu running. It won't be very fast or easy to use on a device that small, but it will work.

Where to go? Beginner in Aosp building/porting

Good day, I just want to have an advise, probably in terms of resources, articles and tutorials about:
1. How can I compile an android source code?
2. I have a 2.7Ghz Dual core, 2GB Ram, and ubuntu x64, is it possible to build(kitkat) with this PC?
3. Is creating custom rom, different from building from source?
4. Can you give me an example(any) how to port the aosp for other phone?
5. After I made the Rom, how can I test it without flashing in a real phone for beta testing and risk prevention?
6. Can you site informations regarding my question, I am a beginner in Android source building/porting and are the things I have to learn first before diving into android rom development?
Thanks in advance

this link isa guide on how to set up the build and enviroment and get going. im not sure that 2gb of RAM is enough, 4gb is the recommend amount of RAM just to run a 64 bit Operating system.

Noob looking for guidance/answers

A bit about me:
Hey guys, I have a huge interest in hardware and software. I know about hardware and how it works at an intermediate level, but my software understanding is very basic. I'm going to teach myself how to develop apps on Android, and other OS's once I actually know what I'm doing. (Nexus 5, and Oneplus One owner)
Actual question:
I'm assuming that a Linux based operating system is the best way to go about doing this, correct me if I'm wrong. I currently run Windows 8.1, what Linux based OS do you guys think I should dual boot alongside it? Does it matter? A lot of people recommend Debian, but from what I read, Google actually does their 4.4 KitKat development on Ubuntu LTS 10, I believe.
Thanks.

A few questions

Hello I am Jimmy and I am starting on ROM development for mobile and PC. I have a few doubts regarding that.
1> Android-x86 Oreo is the latest build on their website, But roms like Bliss, they ported Pie on PC. How to do that? I mean how to get Android-x86 pie?
2> How much average time does it take to compile the source of Android(both x86 and arm64)? [Specs for consideration: Intel Core i7-8750H 2.2 Ghz 6 cores, 16 GB RAM, Ubuntu 18.04 ]
3> What IDE/Development softwares should I use for modifying the original source code that is? Android Studio? Netbeans? Notepad++? Or what??
And a question not regarding development:
I have a device lying around my drawer. My bro used to use it until he bought a new one. Its LAVA Z60 which is based on MTK MT6737 chipset. I researched but found out that there are very few MTK devices with custom roms. Is LAVA Z60 one of em? And if so, where to get the Device Tree, Vendor, Kernel etc.. for the device? Also, note that MTK Droid tools does identify the device, but I cant create scatter file cuz there is just one item on the list with location and every other thing as 0.
Soo.. yeah thats all. Please help me if you can. Thanks in advance.
