Start from the ground up, take apart some apps, ask friends if they are into Android and possibly find a developer to work with, my buddy Scary Alien and I are building multiple apps and it makes it more fun. Get some books if that is how you learn, I reccomend Apress books. And just have fun with it! Its not too hard but it does help to know basic algebra as you use lots of math in coding.
Cheers and feel free to PM me if you need some help along the way!

about 150 views and no one answered..i think no one is interested in developing it..and i'm not so skill to do it on my own
Aaah not so fast bro.
Just take some patience
If you make it, people will get it. I come here day to day to check out new apps to mess around with.

I like the look of it, but have no developing skills so won't be able to help. A great idea though - stick with it.
I'm really like to have this one. Really COOL
Great Idea.. too bad you dont want to go through with it.. I love it!
ANY xda Devolopers takers on this cool app IDEA
and maybe if u post this thread to DEVELOPMENT & HACKING more might take this idea ?=
I think the simplist way to do this would be in flash, we know we can "tel:123 4567" so if the flash app just filled in the numbers it would be fine. I'd expect one of the awesome flash dev's on here to be able to throw it together, at least a basic working version, in a day or so. Would be a neat addon for fewidgets.
wow ... i like the idea!

The best advice I can give you: Go in and get your hands dirty.
Grab the ADK by natalic
It contains ubuntu and all the developer tools you'll need to get started.
Grab an RUU from Shipped ROMS and try to port it to the hero. Check the resource in my sig for guides on porting.
You'll run into hundreds of problems, but if you're patient, and attempt to learn, you'll get through it with a terribly great understanding of HOW the file system works in Android.
Once you've gone through all that. You'll still end up with some problems that can only be fixed by having proper programming language understanding.
Go buy a book on C and JAVA. Read it, then read it again, then do the examples, then read it again, then try to fix your problems; and finally, share your findings with everyone here.

Just pick a rom, flash it, then repeat until you like it. Nobody is going to be able to tell you what you like. That's up to you to decide.

Of course he can't. Search is for other people, he's important. It's his second topic that he opens in Development section, even though the first one was moved from here, and he still didn't get the hint.

x911 exclusive droid X rom

Hello everyone. Well I have some free time now and have decided to make a rom exclusively for the X. It will be called x911. After testing out a few and not finding exactly what I like, I decided to start this project. So If anyone is interested in testing a beta, giving some input/requests on certain features etc, let me know. Updates and news about dev will be on "thevideomole" .com - can't direct link sorry. Just sign up for an account and follow my wall if your interested in participating, or just want to know about the rom, release date etc. Thanks.
James LaBarr
I'll test for you, no problem.
never mind. I was going to say something. but never mind.

Thanks for the heads up at OP
Great, like I said, I have posted this in a few droid x forums, and handling this in all forums would suck, so It wall all be handled at thevideomole.com - just join the droid x lovers group, all updates will go thru there, and thanks everyone, im glad people are interested in this.

Well who am I is kind of a weird question. Who are you? Anyway I made a crude boot animation for my x911 AOSP Froyo Rom, needs much polishing but the concept is there. Video is on the site previously posted. This weekend that should begin and I can begin coding.
I think he was trying to ask about your experience with android coding

I don't think that a person asking about your background or experience is kind of a weird question. To be honest I normally close threads like this because its been my experience that ROMS are never produced. Perhaps you if you are soliciting feedback you may post a beta or test ROM you are working. Guys in this forum are used to a lot of fake posts.

Exactly...I didn't mean who are you on a personal level, I meant it as, who are you as it pertains to the Android Community. I write articles and news that's Android related, and have been around for a long time in the forums, but I have never heard of you or your brand of ROMs. So I meant who are you as a Developer or Chef, because maybe you are an experienced Dev and I just don't know of you. But also you could be that kid jdkclipse from the incredible and other forums...some might know that drama.
Either way though, if u have a ROM, just post it and a screenshot and a detailed changelog/info on it, no need to open a thread until you have that.
Cheers!
i would love to test. I'm also feelign the same way you are on roms. I wanna build my own too but not much help for the Droid x. We may can collaborate to make a pretty good rom
