Root Wanting to put a deving team together

I just downloaded the ISO of Ubuntu then got magiciso mount the set it as a installable app to dual boot.
I just install Ubuntu with my flash drive, I have my HDD set up to have 2 partitions, that way I don't clutter up mmy windows drive with Ubuntu and if I want to get rid of Ubuntu it's only a few clicks away.

It gives you the option when you open it up with magiciso

i opened the file iso file with MagicISO and clicked on wubi.exe and its installing ubuntu right now. i put a 20 gb because im kinda limited on memory at the moment. once that's done what do i download next?

This is my favorite guide to set up a build environment. Follow it until you get to compiling, because compiling is pretty different for our phone. Also, Java is tricky, and if that guide doesn't get Java installed right, ask and I'll help, because Java is a pain. Free Your Android - How to Compile ICS (Ubuntu)
