Default turn a n00b into a dev :)

Hi All,

I've been playing aroudn for a while flashing various roms, and having a lot of fun with it, but I've got to the point where I want to try and fix some things. Mainly the various force closes, etc I get on some of the bleeding edge roms (like the Hero2.1 for sapphire).

Anyhow, I was wondering how to start on this? It's easy enough getting the stack trace, but a lot of the time the problems are with closed-source apps (e.g. I'd love to tackle fixing "People" on the above rom), so it's not as though you can just find the right spot in the source and fix it.

I guess most of the time it's due to missing, or wrong versions of other libs?

I dunno.

Anyway, if anyone out there would like to get me started with just a few basic pointers, I'm happy to then clear off and do my own thing.

And...if there is already a howto or Wiki page about this, let me know, but I couldn't find one anywhere.
