dev's help in getting MT

guys this is not a question, this is a "plea" for some help...
if one of the great dev's out there would be kind enough to enable multitouch on this rom http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1701190/kb7sqi-magic-full-V2.7.2.zip
i, and many others who use this rom, would really appreciate it
ps: i did pm the dev who cooked it, but he didn't answer, so i thought i take my chances elsewhere..

what ROM is this??

my bad..
its a rogers rom that comes with a flash player enabled browser and other sweets that come with a rogers rom, such as the smart dialer, apart of course from being lightweight, which makes it run smoothly on my 32b G1
more details can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567371

come on guys..is this really too much to ask?

patience. devs do this voluntarily at their own time. demanding for features won't really get you anywhere. Especially with 2.1 AOSP being out there now, i'm sure there's a lot already going for them.

Try this: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
Don't know if it works for your rom since it's originaly made for 1.1, lol.

Thanks for the tips guys..
Unfortunately the above link suggests installing a different rom to get a mt enabled kernel.
Sorry if i sounded pushy. Didn't mean to...
I was just wondering what it takes to apply the mt patch to the kernel thats all

I think you can't just install multitouch on a rom because it needs to be in the kernel. So or you wait the rom builder of your rom includes it in his rom, or you need to try another rom.

what base firmware is this ROM using?
i dont have time to research it

Its cupcake 1.5

kingklick,
just wanted to say that its really nice of you to show interest in helping others.. you must be a really nice guy
thank you

just checking..
i feel like a little kid askin' for candy here...but i don't care
kingclick, was you inquiring about the base firmware here an indication that you'll help out? i really hope so...

You wont find someone to do this. You've cluttered the developers thread with your groveling. You should read up on the methods and do it yourself. Plus, then you could do a lot of extra goodies. If you want something done, do it.

well..

you mean learn java and android programming, and in a few months, or maybe a year, i'll be able to do it all myself... sounds like a great idea..
but here's a better one,
in this world we live in, there are specialized and professional people, each in their own field, so when someone "like you or me" need something that is not in our ability or specialty, we seek a professional...
i don't mean to be rude, but this could easily be compared to learning dentistry to do your own tooth...
haven't you asked for any help from anyone in your life?

If you really want MT in browser why not use dolphin or one of the alternate browsers in the market?

mt is missing in the rom itself, the patches were not applied..

[Q] How about a MIUI Rom?

Could one of our devs make this wonderful rom for our beloved TF? I would love to have this option as it looks cool.
Thx in advance

This may be retarded but if you like it so much, why don't you get cooking?

Can you help me? I don't know how to but I would like to learn. This would be a wonderful day if I could achieve Rom greatness here at XDA

I've never done it but have an interest in it. Mostly, I haven't because I need a stable device available.
My guess is at a minimal, one can use e.g. Gingerbread source and an existing device to make a fair bit of changes and flash a ZIP via CWM on a Gingerbread based phone; we'll need ICS for the same. Google has some stuff you might want to read and we probably have a thread somewhere here. Although these forums can be a maze to find stuff. It will help if you have specific and obtainable goals though.

Attention Devs! Introducing the Samsung Developers Program

Hi all,
Please let us know what you think.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-q5CEfiyQk&feature=youtu.be
Thanks!
SamsungJohn
Twitter:SamsungJohn

How about release some source or at the very least something that will help devs speed things up with ice cream? We paid for the phone, we want everything we can get.

very interesting...
sign me up Scotty

Somewhat interesting, I have registered on the new Developer site, however it seems to be geared more towards app developers, with little of use to those doing platform work (AOSP bringups including Cyanogenmod porting, kernel development, etc.)
There are no IC datasheets, and no source code for test firmwares such as UCKL2 for the Infuse (SGH-I997).

Stickied for the time being

Thanks for the news. I will check it out to see if it is a good choice for beginning devs. It might also be interesting for me to learn more specifically regarding my Samsung phone.

does it mean,
some people develop ROM or app together?
make money?

you don't make ROM for money, if you do, you don't belong in XDA

True. But it is a chance to get know and apreciated. And that could lead to money!!!

Very well said! It seem like Samsung have just discovered all the free work force to produce code that is much better than their own. Now they wanna tap into this, without giving anything of value in return.
How about dropping some spec-sheets on the HW level and some source code to their drivers, instead!?

Damnit, i'll have to learn some programming now! To the Batmobile!

+1 for "spec-sheets on the HW level and some source code to their drivers"
..especially for devices like Galaxy 3 (i5800/i5801), which (apparently), you are not going to update now on.

Sounds Cool
sounds pretty interesting, ill check out the youtube video.

Thanks for the news.

Would be nice if the video talked specifically about developing ROMs, especially AOSP-based...

useful info

merge samsung and htc rom?
hi i somewhat enjoy my samsung charge except for the predictive txt sucks i want exactly how the htc has theirs can anyone give me some info on merging these things i want to build or tweak a rom for the charge also currently downloading all the sdk stuff about to run over to samsung dev site and see if i can get into that also.

Great
great stuff, keep up the good work!

Seems like a great initiative from Samsung

[Q] Photon Q Jelly Bean (More of a "Question to our problems than an "Answer")
So I was browsing the internet countless of times (no life) and I have discovered something disturbing
A Newbie’s Guide: Updating Motorola Photon Q LTE to Jelly Bean (Custom ROM)
I get the idea that everyone wants to get a custom rom/theme from this.
But what bothers me is...... [THERE IS NO LINK TO ANY JELLYBEAN ROM IN THE LIST]
I am wondering what is the meaning of this.
Any Ideas?

Maybe just getting ahead of the curve...? You notice all the articles there are written by the same person? Busy fella. Might be useful in the future if a lot of dev happens all at once.

From reading the article, it seems like the author just assumes that the device is officially unlocked, it will also mean that custom ROM's are ubiquitous... Unfortunately the two do not go hand-in-hand..

Awesome. So i'm glad i'm not the only curious one. I hope as well there is more dev on this because there are quite a few mods for this phone. But not so much on custom roms persay.

Takes a lot of hard work and time... and probably quite a bit of knowledge. Something I'm short on right now...
So unless you want to help out, it's just going to be a waiting game.

Not going to deny I'm a little new to this. As much as I want to assist on the project, all i know how to do is follow the guidelines that are set out by this forum. So now waiting on my last peice of equipment (SATA to PATA converter for my hard drive). I see the work that others have accomplished out of their busy schedules and Its used on my Asanti C as well. By the way, Is it possible to use parts of a custom rom from another phone and tweak it for this phone? Example: Take info from the moto devices to make one for this?
PS. I am new to this, but I'd like to contibute and throw in ideas

It has been my experience...much of it unfortunate to me lol, that custom roms for
other similar phones can be pieced together but it is crucial to remember
that individual phones have unique partition tables and hw/sw interface.
We have brilliant people on this at the moment, and we already have
phenom custom kernel and deodexed system files...not to mention not one but
two custom recoveries that make working Nandroids. I am much like the average
modder on this forum, I follow directions and give experience feedback.
That being said, any experimental roms send my way I would be happy to
test 'em!

Rom dev

So I am making a rom. It's written in C++, CSS, and HTML. I need a bit of help, my CSS is rusty so if there's any experts out there I welcome your help. If there's any designers out there well versed in C++ you are more than welcome to join on up. I hope to have a working prototype in the next few days, let's make this the best rom for the OnePlus One there is!

have you tried turning it off and on again?

I am confused. What am I turning off and on again? I just want to make a good rom for this community. I am just asking for help. Please, no jokes. Serious replies only.

I think that there already enough roms from experienced devs... You want to make a rom but don't have the knowledge.

Why discourage someone like that? You don't know him or what he's capable of. What if someone had said that to the developer of your favourite ROM when he was starting out and he listened? XDA is a place to encourage development, and a place to encourage people who want to learn how to build ROMs. There can never be too many ROMs available, and there can never be too many people/devs working on them. This guy could be the next big thing in the ROM community and all you want to do is shut him down. Unless you're going to contribute in a positive way, maybe don't post.

A lot of Google and this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Development
All the best.

Maybe my words sound to hard on a screen but I don't want to discourage him ?
I'm just thinking that he is underestimating the job... He has 3 posts, needs people to do the majority of the job. Just my 2 cents.
But from now on only positive words, apparently negative is not allowed. Good to know...

Umm... Building a ROM is kinda different. You don't exactly have to write all the code yourself (that would take a few lifetimes ). You have to use existing stuff, and patch it together the way you like. You can change the coding style and stuff to the way you want. The CM development page would be a great idea to start with getting familiar with all the stuff.

Xavierdarkness, your enthusiasm is awesome. I'm pretty sure your rusty CSS skills are okay though, but you should really pick up some ActionScript if you intend on making the best ROM.

Dude, write it in machine language....that would be the tits

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. It means a lot. I hope to draw on my existing knowledge of QBASIC, VB 6, and HTML to help me on this journey. I'll likely have something up in the next few days if anyone would like to check over my QBASIC to make sure I am getting the API right with android. Thanks again, I'll read all the links you guys have provided and will update this periodically.

there ya go, way to show some support. never enough roms, but always to many self important people

A new team inside XDA of developers will be a good news.
Perhaps learn must be encouraged and I hate people say that there are too many roms... This is not a marketplace but a place for developers.

Guys on here who work for or run their own ROM teams, why not invite Xavierdarkness to your team and show him the ropes? Looks like his knowledge is there, just needs some nudging...

I'm curious how one would build a ROM from nothing more than C++, CSS, and HTML....if you don't have the Java how will it run android apps?

there are too many inefficient android apps. I think stopping the apps from running is a good thing. more speed! more battery!

You do realise that your settings menu is an app, your dialer is an app, basically, almost every functionality of your phone is through an app :/

do you realise a dialer, or settings, or anything functional on a device doesn't have to be written in java? *points at TWRP* at the rate they are going, we'll have recoveries that can send/receive texts, and make calls
