I procured a 1.2 mytouch when my kaiser hit the skids after a year. since rooting it I have been itching to get a faster, more stacked rom. what can i do to help? Im merely a novice when it comes to developing. but am willing to learn anything that can help with development.
Personally I am not a dev, but I've been lurking around.
There has been way more development done over at the G1/Dream forums. Most devices sold in the US were either G1 or the myTouch 3G (32B), making the two devices very similar. As a result most of the development stuff ended up in the Dream forum.
The most informative threads for the Dream still apply:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519523
Also try Cyanogenmod wiki
Cyangenmod IRC is still one of the best places for ROM devs, even though many have moved on to the Nexus One.
As for the Mytouch 1.2, support for your device is still limited because HTC hasn't released their kernel. But there can still be good work to be done.

The HTC Titan (PPC6800) is out in Canada already on the carrier Telus and soon will be with Sprint and other carriers in the United States. As some may know, over at ppcgeeks, we have made great strides with the 3.x roms that Helmi_c and others from this forum have been gracious enough to help us with. Aside from getting WM6 on the Apache (6700), which any help there is greatly appreciated, we are starting to move to the Titan.
Unfortunately, the Titan is causing us some issues as far as even getting a rom dump off of it. As you would suspect GrabIt and mtty do not work. We have had some progress using pdocread.exe, but it will not verify the partition sizes or dump the partitions. We are also trying to figure out if we are going to have to start dealing with the SPL and CID. Both of these are pretty foreign to us since we have never had to deal with them before.
Anyway, my point is that it would be nice to get a section for the Titan set up so that we may start development on that device. As always, the knowledge of the members of this forum is greatly appreciated and hopefully those that are willing to help can get us going in the right direction.
Thanks.
i may not know what to do but i do want to see a new device her and also because i will be switching to sprint and getting the titan
Yeah. It would be nice to get some more interaction between here and ppcgeeks.com. Not to steal members away from either site, but xda is more GSM and geeks is more CDMA.

I agree as well, I will be switching from fido to telus and therefore switching from a softbank x01ht TyTN to a telus htc p4000 TITAN. It would be great to have a separate forum and wiki section for the TITAN.
Although i do not have much experience with xda development, i have been taking apart and putting together computers and working with software since i was in grade 5. I can learn software langauges and i would like to contribute to development of the TITAN rom repertoire.
Also having a separate area to discuss possible roms, accessories like cases, and other such topics would be great instead of trying to post it or having to dig through the TyTN forums.
Hello,
I'm relatively new to the Android community however I'm getting really excited over it. I'm planning on getting the MyTouch 3g (HTC Magic) 32B tomorrow and I'd like to make use of it for something other than entertainment. I'd like to learn how to write applications and maybe even ROMs for android phones.
My main question is if any 'good' developer here would take me as an apprentice. I wouldn't mind doing testing and other menial jobs, however I would like to be taught how to create applications and ROMs alike.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any help or direction given.
Evervoid
Have a look here:

You can ask and learn there
Good luck,
Thank you.
I am a little confused about asking questions concerning the HTC Hero on Sprint in part because there are so many different versions of it and also because there is nowhere to post for the phone period. My question concerns rooting the device that I plan on buying today and whether or not that is a smart move considering all the talk about updates to 2.0. If I root the device will the same firmware be available through this site or will I be stuck with 1.5? Either way there is also many guides to rooting and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions perhaps the best one? thank you for your time
Welcome aboard
This is the section for your CDMA Hero:

Hope it helps,
thank you
hey thanks for the help...peoples like you makes the world turn
With source dropping for the dhd and how easy interoperability between our phones is do we need 2 different forums? Seems it would be easier on you guys if things merged.

I agree. Now that the source is out it would make sense.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
it would be much easier for the DEVS which is more important. they wouldnt have to maintain 2 different threads for the same ROM, Theme or Kernel as well..
Very good point.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
so how do we initiate this or would the Mods even entertain this idea at this point since both forums have been established..
I suggest we work with the mods on this. I'll report my own thread to get some eyes on it.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
sounds like a plan..
yes please merge us!
I agree with this. There's a lot of threads I've seen today that are directing you to the DHD forum for further information/troubleshooting - why not make them the same rather than having to post everything twice, or making devs/users have to jump back and forth?
I have to disagree. I prefer the forums seperate.
I could care less what the people in Europe are doing with their Desire HDs. The Inspire is a US phone on AT&T. It has a seperate identity.
Keep in mind even though they are pretty much the same phone, they run on different networks, have different radio software, and are supported by different cell providers. People's experiences will be different than their European counterparts.
Please keep them seperate.
you do realize that almost everything in our forums are from the europe DHD forums right??? so why have 2?

I think 2 just to keep it simpler. so that the threads arent filled with issues from the inspire in the desire thread and desire in an inspire thread.
if the dev part is merged to make it better for them is one thing, but you still need att specific sub forum for all the posts that are att specific.
The Dev secton right now is NOT the biggest part of this device forum, all the att specific issues are...

A European ROM flashed with the kernel just released by apache14 works out of the box with no further user tweaking.
I have a feeling that all the rom chefs of Europe will be building their own kernels based on the source that dropped yesterday which is universal, and includes the variations to the American and Canadian DHDs.
I agree that a sub forum may be needed in General but not Dev.
yeah I'm not seeing anything that makes this device any different from the DHD device. The DHD forum isn't limited to 1 single carrier so i'm still not seeing your point of keeping it separate...
worst case scenario look at how the Motorola Milestone and Verizon Drioid forum is laid out.. maybe something similar
and besides the DEV section will start becoming the biggest part of our forums now that ROMS and Kernels are out
Also keep in mind that there are a lot of people who like me have no intention of rooting or modding their phone. So the DEV section is useless to people like me.
I used to jailbreak my iPhone for years, but got bored doing it. The only reason I flashed a custom ROM on my Captivate was cause you had to, being that the stock 2.1 was terrible.
Currently outside of the fact that the back speaker is terrible on the Inspire, I am completely happy the way the phone is. I don't feel I need to flash custom ROMs to get a phone to work the way it should. The Inspire currently works just dandy.
So don't assume everyone is into modding.
there is always the search function. That always helps. Besides where as I know that not ALL people root and load custom roms there are a good portion that do and since that is what the majority do on XDA (D=Developers) then I don't know how relevant your argument is on that one.
did you look at the motorola forum I previously mentioned to you?

Why are you using this forum then? No offense but if I wasn't in to modding my device I would use another less development oriented one like androidforum or something. Most people on xda DEVELOPERS are into development. But I am with you on keeping the dhd and inspire forums separate or at least the dev sections and my only logic on that is because of the sound issues but if the source being released fixes this than I guess there's no point. As far as general I could care less.......

Although I am not really into custom ROMs, I still think this is a great forum to hang out. Plus I think you get a more mature crowd on here who are a bit more techie oriented.
I also read on Androidforums.com and like how they have a separate section for every phone. I think it works, but then again on there I don't think you get the same kind of conversations as you get on here.
As far as what Gunny said, I don't really see a lot of DesireHD stuff in the general section of the Inspire forum. I am sure you do in the DEV section, but so far almost all the threads I see in here are all about the Inspire.
i would be curious to add a poll to this thread.. so far I am only seeing 1 maybe 2 people that may not agree. I'd love to see what general consensus states...
Good morning folks, as the title says, new to Captivate. Any ROM's that folks would recommend. Currently running 2.2.
I"m going to set this up for my son for Christmas and want it to rock. Using Simple Mobile. Are there any known issues with carriers other than AT&T? Thanks for any input. I appreciate it. Time to root this new toy
get ready for bashing...this is Dev section.,...read the rules before posting...
I would recommend all the roms in dev section, as they all are really good.
Next time ask questions in Q and A section.
read the new user guide and watch the video, then hang your head in shame.
DO NOT POST IN DEVELOPMENT UNLESS YOU ARE DEVELOPING!
People don't like when you ask which ROM is best, this is a general nono in the world of XDA. The best thing to do is just do a lot of reading and make the decision for yourself. This way you will have learned a lot of interesting things, and the devs will be happy as well. Hopefully not too many people completely tear you apart for this thread... If you read enough you will find what you are looking for. Good luck.
honestly though, ive just been using the latest leaked stock roms, rooting, removing bloat, and adding modified kernel and running ext4. been beyond happy
Anything from The Collective is excellent, but thats just my opinion.
Cyanogenmod is probably the most popular, a good choice as well
In before lock...
This is akin to going to a sports forum and asking "which team is the best?". It tends to just start a flamewar.
Granted, I think there are things that do differentiate some ROMs over others, and give them advantages... some people might argue it comes down to preference/priorities though. My priorities were:
- HSUPA (eliminating all I897 "stock" ROMs)
- Simple/stock-ish theme (eliminating a ton of other ROMs)
- Stability/reliability
For that reason, I've been running Apex for a while. Before that I was a fan of DesignGears' Captivate ROMs but he's moved on to other devices.
While there are people running early alpha/beta releases of Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" (ICS) ROMs as daily drivers, the ROMs still are a bit too quirky for my tastes so I'll wait a bit longer.
Well this is the Dev section as others have mentioned...but I know how confusing it is to get lost in this vast sea of roms...so I will tell you what I felt the best ROM...well apex 11.1 is the best in my point of view
I go bake a batch of Christmas cookies and y'all have a field day in Development - moved to general and closed.
