Root How Can I Re-Create Admire in Android SDK

Some of you may have seen my issues with my light sensor. The issue has led me to trying to figure out what software broke it, if it is a software (i.e., kernel) related issue, and how to fix it. I'm also going to be working on, with help from anyone interested, how to port over the ODIN counter reset from the Galaxy Note and such.
I have the SDK, and I'm setting up an AVD, but what I really need is a sure fire method of setting it up to properly emulate the Admire. Any ideas on how to accomplish that? Also, if you have an AVD already set, please PM me.
 
ok some tips. if you intend to "port" something your going to need a lot more then just the sdk. actually you will hardly need the sdk.

if you are building apps, use eclipse, with the sdk plugin and use your admire in debug mode to test. emulators are just crap anyway..

if you intend on kernel work your going to need a working knowledge of c/cpp and (rarely) java. this includes not only the android sdk for 2.3.4 but also the aosp repo (witch is a total bitch to download on slow internet like me)

and we dont have an official aosp device tree, the only Semi working one is reqs cm7. which is a totally different repo.

hope i helped.
 
I was almost positive I wouldn't need the SDK, but I do intend on doing theming and things, so it will be useful there....

What I'm intending to do is figure out how to gain access to the entire device, specifically the area of the device that contains the information on custom binary downloads. A dev on XDA wrote some seriously awesome code for the Galaxy Note that resets it, but I cannot get him to talk on how.... Since I can't get him to share, I'm going to try to figure it out. I don't know where to begin, but that is why I have Google, AndroidForums, XDA, and my good old standby, sleep. :P
If you have any ideas on what I would need to even start trying, that would be cool. I used to be an iOS tech advisor, so I'm not completely lacking.... :P
 
well to get started id suggest learning c and c++ programming languages.

then id read through the source.android.com documents. i believe baby_jesus is trying to get an aosp build going. but itd be easier for just learning to use cyanogenmod. specificly the device-profile for our phone created by unforgivin512 and requisite0.

an apple tech expierence will not be too good of information.. apple=all propritary software. where android is like 96 percent open source. i wont say a hundred because although the vendors such as samsung and htc release there code it is generally useless. but all of googles phones and such have released source code. so if you want to see a full working and done correctly device-profile look at the samsung google nexus or any of googles phones.
