Samsung Galaxy Tab Development Environment

---

Hello developers,

I'm starting this thread because I'm interested in designing a development environment for the Samsung Galaxy Tab so that developers, like myself, can have an easy environment for modifying the Android OS. I'll be aiming this environment at all Android Devices but I want to start with the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

At the moment I don't have much of a structure for this project, nor much direction, so if anyone has any ideas for what tools etc I should include in this please let me know. If anyone wants to get on board with the project it would also be appreciated. Send me an email.

tool ideas:
- integrating the GCC and Javac compilers into the environment.
- integrating a way to generate make files and to build from these files.
- GUI for editing files from the kernel and application framework.
- easy to use way of setting up branches for projects with the Repo and Git included in the Android Source Code.

Count me in. I am getting a Tab tonight and I plan to develop for it. Currently, I have got the froyo source on my machine and want to integrate the open source code that Samsung released for this device.

Has anyone successfully built a custom ROM using the Samsung source code? Any help on this will be appreciated.

Awesome!

I've got Froyo working on the Tab, which I built from the source code from the android open source project website but it's just a generic build from the straight source, nothing special. not with the samsung code though. do you have any links for it?

I've put a small amount of stuff into the Dev Environment, most just shell files etc to make installing everything easier. One click sort of thing.

My first task though is going to be to try and fix the failure that is the Samsung display driver. Most noticeable are the 4 by 1 widgets that don't stretch across the whole screen.

After that I'm going to start work on a GUI for the environment and the iOS Emulator.

thoughts?

Whats wrong with Android SDK and Eclipse?

It's not the most straight forward thing. I'm looking to make something that includes its own libraries too. It's aimed at beginning developers mostly, so you can literally download one file which includes everything you'll need then start editting and then one click to compile and have it all work. Simplicity

I'm also interested in this... The SGT is my first android device, and my company will want android apps for internal and external uses... and a one click dev environment would be a most welcome option!

Straight up AOSP? Could you have a crack at CM?

Anything you need, including testers, I'm in.

I have programmed some programs in android. If you need my help, i will be glad to help,
