android 2.2 app dev environment topic

i find that i prefer using my nst more & more.. in fact, my swanky but gas-guzzling tablet ;) has been all but discarded, except for watching movies in bed.

i am going to find open-source apps, and recompile the latest sources specifically for android 2.2 froyo, as i find that most devs and google market are removing froyo from their horizons. i am particularly interested in small-sized efficient apps. i do use quite a lot of them, but mostly very old versions.

for this purpose, i want to setup a froyo-dedicated dev environment. i am happy to share all the apps that i will compile & use myself. hopefully, many others might find useful too.

where i need your help is with advice on how best to setup a tiny/efficient (not bloatware) dev environment, bearing in mind that it will only be used to recompile apks for froyo on einks. i notice that some of you are very efficient in creating extremely small apk, and this is what i want to do.

[REQ] Development Environment Setup for Moto G 2014 topic

Hey there,

INTRO:

I'm a relatively new member to XDA and the Android Community as well. The Moto G (2014) is my first Android phone since ever. I was using iPhones (4,4S,5,5S), iPads and Mac and have Jailbroken and Developed Tweaks, Apps etc for iOS.

Now that I got my hands on this amazing device, I would love to contribute to the Community by developing and porting ROMs for the Moto G 2014.

WHAT? WHY?:

So if it isnt too much trouble could someone post a device-specific instructions, checklist and downloads to setup a development environment for Moto G (2014). I'm a pretty fast learner so any crude form of instructions would suffice. With the right heading and instructions I'm sure that I can contribute to this community.

PAST CONTRIBUTIONS:

If you're curious about what I've preciously done, just Google "Krishna Sagar iPhone" and you'll see. I've developed apps, Jailbreak tweaks and I've even been mentioned and credited by CNET.com for discovering the first solid evidence about 4G in the iPhone 5. (Before it was announced or released. Yea!! :D)

So any help at all is appreciated!

Regards
Krishna Sagar

PS: I've searched XDA and found some tutorials but I'm looking for some device specific instructions and downloads such as Device Tree, Kernal, ROM sources etc.. and crude up-to-date instructions on how to setup a Build-Environment. Thanks :)
