Kifno's Lessons - Hero CDMA General

I would like to start teaching people about android so if you would like to learn from me about:
- Making Roms
- Scripting
- Modding
- Theming
Then please post here what you'd like to learn about and PM me as well and I'll send you a lesson every night or every other night about that category. You can choose all 4 or just 1. It doesn't matter I'm here to help you, yeah YOU!
- Kifno

I'd like to just understand more about all of the topics. Not to be a dev, but just to be able to communicate better on this forum about it. Like I understand digitals VMS os but always hated to work with unix, so I learned very little about it.. What is scripting ? what is meant by modding, etc.
Thanks Kevin, Ted O.

Modding as in learning what I do in my tweak
Scripting is I'll give you bash script lessons

Also the lessons won't start until next week sometime because I wan to gather a group of students first. Right now I have a small class of 8 people. I'm only starting next week so that I can make a plan on where I'm going to start teaching you and the process I'm going to go about teaching you more (what should I teach you after what I previously taught you so that the lessons flow together). but I'm sure I can teach you all enough so that you all can start doing something for xda too

I want to learn something about all of it , not to be a dev. , but to understand what they do , so I can react better to posts/etc. Thanks Kevin,.

Why don't you post in a thread(s) instead of in pm's that no one else will see? Are you just trying to limit the number of questions and comments you get back?

I wouldn't mind learning all of it but would prefer a classroom environment but since you're the teacher I will do whatever you think is best.

If you like the more, in-depth, manual approach to learning. Below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6738713&postcount=1
first of all get a dedicated irc client, they tend to be soo much better then the all in ones.
second i dont know much about development but i am fairly knowledgeable able all around android
when you get an irc client (xchat ftw) there is a sticky with the required info
Damn... This is some nice info. Now I'll never go to bed. Thanks!
If this was 2 weeks ago... you would have never got this, it seems a happiness has come to the Epic Forums. lol
Now if only we could talk noobnl into staying.
First its how you approach things. Coming on here and demanding a Gingerbread port in 15 minutes is just dumb. Asking for resources... Great. I've saved some on my toolbar for firefox. I have an idea, but want to do more research myself before I cook something up. Its not something I'd personally use, but I know a lot of people have asked for it on here.

[Journal] My Road to Becoming a Great Developer

My Road to Becoming a Great Developer
Intro
Hello I am Kifno. I have had my HTC Hero CDMA for a short period of time and I've fallen in love with it and everything about it. I love testing out other developer's apps, tweaks, mods, themes, roms, kernels, etc. I also have recently gotten into the modding and tweaking aspect of our hero's too. Some of you may know me from my tweaked build.prop's. But I have decided that I want to be known as a great developer for the HTC Hero CDMA. I am going to keep this thread as a journal during my journey to becoming a great developer, posting what I have learned, accomplished, created, modded, tweaked, etc. that is making me one step closer to reaching that goal. Hopefully during my journey you all will appreciate some of my work for our HTC hero CDMA devices.
1/22/11
- Working on v0.7 of my tweaked build.prop's
- reading the c programming language (chapter 1)
My Work So Far

Developer for editing a text file values? Right, I wonder what programming that is? By the way, does Aosp know your editing his builds and redistributing them?
thats a lot of reservations!
I'M ON A JOURNEY TO BE THE GREATEST DEV FOR THE HTC HERO CDMA
good luck, we already have the best dev's for it.

I'm new to becoming a developer. My first piece of work is simple, editing the build.prop from other developer's roms. And I'm learning how to program and learn the c language and learning java so I can do bigger and better things for the HTC Hero CDMA. And as a matter of fact not only did I make a editing build.prop for aosp but aosp as of last 2 updates to his new gingerbread rom has implemented my editing build.prop into his gingerbread rom by default so I'm pretty sure aosp know's i'm editing the build.prop to make the hero better for the community. That is why aosp is keeping it implemented into his rom by default. Please be positive here I'm on a journey to become a great dev and all great dev's started small okay. Remember I'm NEW to becoming a dev.

Yeah I plan on sticking with the HTC Hero CDMA for a WHILE!
No need to be negative guys. At least he's going out and working for it. That's a lot more than 90% of people here can say. Most are too lazy to learn and want others to do it for them. Really can't believe that on xda we have at least two guys who who would actually try and discourage someone from developing. I think you guys need to check yourselves. Pathetic.
To kifno, goodluck friend and best wishes! I can't wait to see what you do!
Sent from my 2.2 Hero
Wow lets watch the negative.. Glad there are still people who want to progress the hero.. And he isn't taking claim of anyones rom he is editing the build.prop giving people some extra tweaks to make our phones quicker.. Kudos on your hard work kifno and there are some big shoes to fill around here and someone needs to do it.. I plan on trying but its hard to make time with life right now for me, so thank you for giving it a shot..

We aren't trying to be negative. Our point is that you haven't developed anything in reality. Just editing a properties in a file isn't developing, but it does take some knowledge to know what you are going to edit . Nonetheless, you are trying to become the greatest developer, but really you are in the 1st chapter of your C Programming book. It's going to take you maybe another 3 - 5 books to actually understand what's happening. Instead of striving to become the "Greatest" developer, why not focus on just becoming a developer at first

I'm totally content with working on it solo and fixing things based off your feedback but I think the universal script can be a lot better if we as a team work on it
Post why you think you should be on apart of the team. Basically just say how you would be able to help.

sadly no, not really, however, i am one of the fastest learners you will ever meet. lemme see what you are working on and i can learn it within a day.
the only reason that i don't have any scripting experience is that i have not had a need to know it.
i have done javascript and other scripting languages for the web, but nothing with android at all.
as far as tweaking goes, there isn't really anything that i haven't modded, tweaked or completely rebuilt at some point. gimme something good and i can make it great. i have done extensive tweaking on another portable device that is not worth mentioning here (a**le i*od, gotta censor that foul language here)
edit: i won't be offended at all if you don't think you can use me on your team, just thought i would throw my name in there and see what happened.

ROM cooking is a complex thing to do, but you can start by looking ar dsixda's Android Kitchen. It's pretty simple, exactly what's needed for beginners.
From there you should start browsing the forums and learn for yourself: here or here (for Nexus S). I'm also playing around with ROM cooking but still in my early stages. Basically just tweaking at the moment Good luck and hoping to see some of your projects!
EDIT: I believe there might be a problem with deodexing in ICS roms (if using dsixda's kitchen), but I haven't looked into it.
but why laugh? Isnt that normally that people asks how to cook?
Tank u for your kitchen tip
