Begining to Dev. Need sugestions

Hey guys. I cam to the epic hopeing to see more roms and more exciting things. Instead, I saw a not really supported device. So I am going to begin to port other 2.1 roms so it could fill the gaps we have between getting froyo. So I need some start suggestions. My first port is going to be the Droid X rom 2.1. So if you guys want me to port other 2.1 roms, you would have to send me a ROM dump please.

Port Cyanogenmod.
Or make your own.
Do you have any idea what your doing?

And this one makes my sig!

Why don't you start by porting the gingerbread dump you linked that seems like a good start.

Dude he obviously has no idea wtf he is doing. He thought we could port the I9200 leak to the epic in a few minutes.... rofl.

Misspelling words are kinda key when developing. You don't want to misspell something and have it ruin your day with a device. He honestly doesn't know what he's doing. My only reason for the comment was due to the Gingerbread he wanted ported in 20 minutes. Go read that thread and you may agree with me then.

I realize that. I speak 2 languages myself. But I don't want him touching anything when commands need to be SPELLED CORRECTLY. He obviously struggles with simple words.

Ok... but maybe he is a fast learner, maybe he could help out the community.... you never know, so why not try helping him instead of putting him down?

again tho, if he had come in and said hey my dad works for google i can get a leak of gingerbread for yall can someone help me, we woulda laughed but tried anyways.
instead a few weeks ago he joined heroc channel on fossnet and started pretending he was darchstar (one of our best devs) and he had a leak he was gunna work on with cm team to port it over. since then its spiraled into him being banned on fossnet and him evading it. now he is on the forum in another thread claiming there is a leak for gingerbread and demands that it is ported over, when i bust on him for being a fake he come in here and says he is gunna port a whole lot of roms for us we just need to supply the dumps....
again if he came here asking for tips on learning on how to start rom developing im sure he would have gottena lot of useful tips, instead he came in here like a fool and as such.... this is not an attack on him because of his age.. bubby323 has one rom out and is working on a sense port and he is under 18 (if he chooses to disclose his real age thats on him) but a matter of the mindset.

I'm 14. Oh, and I have 2 ROMs out.

Ok listen up. Frst of all, I am typing straight from my epic, give me a break on spelling. Secound, I am not going to be developing on my own, as you may all know about IncredibleDoes in the incredible forum, well he was nice enough to offer to help me step by step on my first rom port (Droid X). I am still waiting on a reply from him so give me some time. And third of al, all of you ar telling me to port this that are not 2.1 roms when in the thread I said specificly 2.1! So calm down guys. I'm only trying to help.

[Q] Help the Noob with definitions...

Ok, it's my first Droid phone, so these questions are going to seem incredibly stupid, but I'm just not sure what some of these acronyms mean:
RUU
AOSP
WIP
DeOdexed
And if the acronym isn't self-explanatory, a bit of explanation as to what these things are would be appreciated.
I'd like to be able to start contributing from time to time around here, but I often get stumped halfway through a thread trying to figure out what the hell someone's talking about.

RUU = Rom Update Utility (ones posted here are usually from the manufacturer to restore your phone in case you mess up)
AOSP = Android Open Source Project (here that usually refers to a ROM that's pure android)
WIP = Work In Progress (usually a ROM or app that's not considered stable yet)
Deodexed = (not sure what it stands for but I know a ROM can be odex which can't be themed and deodexed that can be themed)

And odex is a part of an app file that is separate from the app APK (Application installer kit, I believe, essentially is a .exe for android). Having this file allows for slightly faster boots as the boot information is stored in a separate file however it makes themeing very difficult. When a rom is DeOdexed it means the odex file has been merged with APK file hence it has been de-odexed!)
Hope that clears things up!

Ah, thanks.
Appreciate the help.

Also, Droid is not a brand its a LucasArts trademark currently being used by Motorola, HTC, and Verizon for a certain line of Android smartphones. Don't correct people when you're wrong yourself. Bro.

Haha you said bro...
Anyways droid is not being used by HTC. And you know what he means by brand. He is trying to keep you from getting abused later by telling you what is up.
Why do 80% of all forum treads have to contain some sort of cat fight?

The Droid Eris wasn't made by HTC? How about the Droid Incredible? Gosh you're right neither of those were HTC phones...oh wait, I guess they both were! Again, people really need to know their stuff before telling someone they're wrong =(
My point was that you don't need to be rude in telling someone they're wrong. I'm rude to rude people and nice to people who genuinely ask for help. Those who make assumptions and claims that are based entirely in the fiction of their minds while trying to prove other people wrong.
PS: I said 'bro' as a form of ironic mockery. Look it up sometime!
Oh and the reason "catfights" break out is because people like you two stroll in and act like a**hats!

My post was not rude. While Droid is a trademark owned by Lucas Film (as anyone can see on the fine print on their commercials) it is a BRAND of phones offered by Verizon. HTC and Motorola just call their phones what Verizon wants. Just as much as the EVO is now a brand of phones for Sprint.
Every thread you have posted in has turned into a fight and your posts only look to move the topic of discussion from what the OP intended by turning it personal. Please, if you cant use the forums as intended please refrain from "contributing".
Sorry OP if you think what I wrote was "rude", just trying to help you out with learning the lingo.

You are right about HTC after all, it was pretty late and I wasn't thinking clearly when I posted that. I was just taking up for riggs because I didn't find his post rude at all. He didn't add a smiley or anything... but at most it was just "straight forward." Your post is the first post in this thread that I would consider rude bro.
And he does have a point about alot of your posts being the posts that seem to start things off in a bad direction. (cat fight)

Please keep in friendly in here. We're all just here to develop and help Thank you

Hi Sofia welcome,
I'll assume you got it brand new and is running a stock ROM. I would say that there is something running in the background that is slowing you down some. I'd take a look at which/how many apps you have, and maybe delete the ones you don't use anymore. Do you know if you're running 2.1 or 2.2?
What you'll mostly find here at XDA are folks that love to mod, well love might not be a strong enough word, we're OBSESSED. So what you will most assuredly get from people is "Try sun-in-such's ROM, it's the best!"
If you're into that, this is the place to play. Have fun!

Lol

You're probably better off not doing any mods then. Sorry if that sounds mean, but unless you're tech savvy to some minimal degree and comfortable with the idea of voiding your warranty and possibly bricking your phone, you're probably better off just leaving it stock.

Welcome Sofia ! I also have a Rogers Captivate (have a Focus too) and running it on FIDO with few issues. Try upgrading to 2.2 using Keis. That in itself was no fun, but at least it will give you some idea of updating/modding the phone.

Please don't be fooled into thinking this stuff is really easy. There are already a bunch of threads from people who tried to use CM7 and messed up their phones. Flashing isn't that hard, but it is also pretty easy to screw up. Settle for upgrading to stock Froyo and then read, read, read.

It's not hard, but it's easy to botch it if you don't know what you're doing. If you're going to try your hand at flashing a custom rom, make sure you read about and understand the process enough to where you don't have to make guesses and assumptions. Also, jumping straight to cm7 is a terrible idea - flashing cm7 is a lot more involved than flashing any of the other roms found in the dev section, and if you don't know what you're doing you'll almost certainly end up with some sort of brick.
Read through the stickied threads. They contain a lot of useful information, which is why they're at the top of each subforum. Fill in the knowledge gaps by searching. There's more than enough information in the Captivate forum alone, let alone all of XDA, to teach you how to do everything from some simple modifications to building your own custom firmware.

It's the Internet. If someone is a **** to you and you take it personally, your doing the internet wrong. And people generally aren't dicks when you follow the rules.
Now the OP knows it probably shouldn't have gone here, he learned. He won't do it again. If he's gonna cry cause some anonymous person was mean to him, let him. If he laughs it off and doesn't take it personally and learns from it then there is no hard feelings, just like it should be.
Sometimes I'm glad my father was kinda a **** to me. Makes me glad I didn't turn into a wuss who complains when people are just a little mean. It's not like he told him to **** off. He was a little sarcastic. Jesus. Now who looks like an ass hole? Not the OP, not the guy you quoted, just you, and now me. Man up.

thanks for the prl i have notice that i get more bars than i use to before... nice!! i also notice my speeds are a bit faster im in sd ca

I just checked and got the latest prl I'm in St. Louis.

I'm glad I could help some people

[Rom][Beta] Everybody Rom

Okay so before the trolls walk in i just want everyone to know i'm new to the Rom scene therefore i do not know all the rules for when you post one.
Now for the kinda cool part. I got bored today and figured i wanted to make a Rom based off of SupremeSense. But i realized i dont know everything about rom building so i took a stock based rooted rom and threw some supremesence in it but it wont boot now so what im proposing is that i post it, then you guys add your own little tweaks to it leave sceen shots and details and if its awesome(better than what i already have posted) i will replace my link with the one you provide. We will continue this until you guys stop posting. Remember im open to all suggestions.

I cant exactly get it to boot up but i do know there are smarter people out there that know what to do. But what i did was download the latest SupremeSence And a rooted stock based rom, then pulled up 7zip copy a bunch of Supreme into the Stock added a little me and flash it. My original goal was to get landscape on Supreme but i reallized i wanted to take it bigger, if you want i can pm it to you and you can upload\try to get it working

Yeah what's the goal here? You can't just take a rooted stock ROM and start adding my apk/odex files to it. Another difference between Stock and SS is resources.

i just basicaly wanted another rom out there for us because we dont have much to choose from. And i wanted to base it off of your rom because it awesome, i figured i have a ton of spare time so might as well try

So where to begin. First off its a nice IDEA. Ill give you that much. Second off there are technical and ethical issues your facing .
The first thing you ever do is ask permission whenever you are using someone elses work,and it doesnt sound as if you asked strapped365 for permission to use it (whether he minds or not is a different story. Should always ask)
Second is like Strapped365 said you cant just open 7zip and start dragging and dropping. Its ameture ,and almost never works,
Please research. I love the fact that someone wants to learn about developing ROMS and such,but you need to make more of an effort to learn the time it takes to do this
Oh and if you have no public work to share please don't post in development section.and if you do get a public link up (if the mods are nice) then post (wip) at the title to show its not really functional . Because this is far from beta ,more like pre pre alpha as it wont even boot.
I dont really believe this belongs in this section but im not a mod
Good luck,back to betting on horses :beer:

thanks for the reality check

a large part of the mods are done between apks and jar files with editing the smali in classes.dex (if done correctly anyways) so taking one rom and another and trying to mash will almost never work like notsointeresting said above. As for there not being much to choose from, theres actually quite alot for the shift, especially in the last couple months.
newSENSE
Supreme Sense
CM-7
unofficial CM-9 builds
Cyclonic
Stock Rooted
MIUI
and many more.
theres quite a few devs busting ass and pumping out some quality work. your idea is nice and also like notso said, you def need to ask permission from other devs before trying to tear apart or manipulate a rom theyve worked hard on. there are some guides floating around though that are great assistance in making your own roms. sparksco, dodgejcr, one_love_420, and a few others i cant remember offhand have put up guides to help build kernels and compile roms. do a little reading and practicing and in no time youll be building your own custom rom too.
this by all means isnt an attack, just a confirmation of whats been posted already and some of my own opinions. good luck learning and building.

i cant seem to find a way to close this thread. Please help and i have no problem if you guys want to use my ideas. Finally, can somebody point me to a rom a kernle building thread because the ones i keep finding are phone specific

And to close a thread a mod has to do that. Go on the xda site and click report thread at the top right and just type in close post or move it or what not

Before this gets locked, I would like to say kudos to OP. Great idea, and hope you find your way in the community. I tried (not hard) but did try to understand developing, and quickly gave up. This community is full of smart people that make it hard for us dumber ones to really be helpful, my way of helping is to hit thanks buttons and stay in the shadows. Good luck man

question for op did you change the updater script or anything what happends when it attempts to boot ? black screen wont even flash etc..

We won't even begin to identify the problem without knowing exactly what apks you copied and pasted, but due to cluttering and the bumping of this thread I'd say not to continue to help in THIS particular thread until it gets moved or you post another thread in general to help out.
Nothing against the OP at all.. I'm sure you can understand where I'm coming from. whenever a reply is posted in here it puts actual development threads further down :beer:
