With the amount of knowledge that is about in the G3 forum, I wanted to try getting a thread going that would be specific to development tutorials so that people like myself, who are interested in getting into development, have a wealth of knowledge and expertise of established devs at their disposal.
So at this stage I would request that devs such as HillBeast, Rubensollie, Marcellusbe, kyrillos, J. Purungrit, Mohanshbhr, The Dark Lest at, Rudolf895, or anyone else with great tutorials, or knowledge to developed tutorials post them here.
I realise it is a lot to ask of devs to post tutorials as they will more than likely already be busy with their own projects. But I feel that a thread like this will open up doors for some talented people who may be able to provide some new and interesting roms/features and maybe even help each other out with bug fixs for existing ports.
Sorry mods if this thread is unneeded.
Please guys, share knowledge so we can all learn and help grow

sorry, but I'm not a dev ...all the tutorials/guides of making roms and stuff are in this forum already....so all you need to do, is SEARCH!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046306
We already have tutorials and threads and I think making a new one wouldn't be that beneficial.
A wiki, on the other hand....
There are a set of tutorial by Rudolf on Youtube. He had posted in on XDA too. That is the best set of tutorials. And also, certain tools like QtADB, APKMultitool are very useful.
Was more looking to try and keep all tuts within one thread. Easier to read all tuts and collate info that way. Although as suggested a wiki would probably work better

Ok, just search for something good, and when youre done with the main thing, i can write something.
I have created a basic site - www.sg3.webs.com
Just updated the rom index.
Would gather all info and publish it tomorrow. Will get some sleep
I was contemplating making a wiki myself when I wrote the above post, and look and what has happend since; somebody else made one!
I'll help out with writing stuff once I'm finally able to keep my hands off of my new sgt 10.1.
Just remember, be as modular as possible. That's the whole point of wiki, not repeating work.
ex. make one page for adb and subsections on that page for each command, and when a command is needed in a tut or something just link to the subsection

That is one problem; another is that old-timers post with a "+1" to mean they agree... I see that there is a request outstanding to add an "AGREE" button (like the "THANKS" one)...
The first thing that we need to do is to identify what information needs to be added. In the wiki, there has not been a GS4G page created yet. I've put a stub on my User page... This is one cause for all the noob questions in the fora, I am guessing. Since, at present, searches do not exist on the wiki side.
The things that are specific to the GS4G are the ROM Mods, kernel, and CWM (which, of course, is still beta)...
Announcement: New Wiki Page evolving
Now, when one searches the XDA-Developers Wiki for "Galaxy S 4G," the researcher will be directed to an emerging Wiki page about the SGS4G. Further, if one searches for "Nandroid Backup," the search engine provides a list of links:
General Reference
Specific Reference
Among other results
As stated in my previous postings here, together we can improve XDA-Developers by adding content to the Wiki which balances the content of the Fora (which are abundantly active!).
Again I ask, "Would you please help us in this venture?"

The basic wiki format is easy to learn. Just hit edit and see how the page is actually organized.
I updated the Gingerbread section on the Samsung Galaxy S 4G ROMs wiki page to place sort of a general template. I left out the ones based on leaks as they are pretty outdated.

We need to contact lufc since he's a mod.
It'll be a lot better to keep people organized. People keep asking the exact same questions in the forums because they're not reading through every single post, and frankly, who wants to?
If we keep everything in the wiki pages, we update the information once and it'll be like having a nicely-formatted OP for everything related to development, especially now that the GB root just came out, people are gonna have more questions and we could keep them updated with the latest links to tools, etc.
Just a thought.
I wholly agree with you.

I'm so down to pitch in 'cause then we can just post a link to the wiki instead of repeating ourselves and if someone winds up finding a better way to do something, they get the latest version of the fix in the wiki. I'll look into editing a few things, it's just a matter of getting the devs to get into it too.
Pretty sure you can't edit the wiki from the XDA app though.
Idk know if anyone has done the wiki yet that's not on the forums but I could try and make one if someone wants to compile the main forum links to me via email or pm ill start working on it tomarrow... ill only do it with permissions from the devs b/c there the tru soldiers working there ass off to make it all possible. Also the wiki could include a way for the devs to find testers on lastst developments.

Looks like we can use the XDA wiki. You can check out golmar's SGS4G bible thread for the main things that the devs have been making:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
Edit: FB beat me to it.
Bumping thread, wound up adding the "Resources" section to the main page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G#Resources
Wound up adding a new page with a partial list of CWM ROMs. I'll finish it later. (Took the list from golmar's bible)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G_ROMs
I noticed a lot of users repeatedly asking the same questions in new pages of threads since it's really hard to read through the whole thread to find solutions. It took me 10 mins reading the manual on how to edit the wiki to figure out how to do this.
Hopefully in the near future we can have updated guides (since anyone can update them) which won't be restricted to a single author. Life gets in the way and people may not update the posts to include new info. This way we can start linking users to guides/info on the wiki instead of repeating or venting frustration at them.
Later tonight I will be putting up a Galaxy S 4G wiki page. The goal of this page will be to help explain procedures for flashing, roms, rooting, etc, provide answers to commonly asked questions, as well as troubleshooting tips, how to make logcats, etc. This should help noobs to the phone by providing a one stop resource for all their information and a first place to look before asking a question.
I will provide the link here once it is up. I will be doing a lot of writing for the wiki, but of course information updating is encouraged.
If anyone would be interested in helping moderate the wiki, please contact me via PM.

Are you saying you want to add them? I believe the wiki can be updated by anyone. If you're asking for someone else to do it, I'm sure we can throw something together. The questions I have are if you're looking for adb commands, shell commands available on the stock ROM, general Linux commands, what BusyBox adds, or what?
I'm still going to make a wiki as I feel it deserves a full wiki instead of just a page, for navigation, etc. It will be up soon as I'm in the middle of a server move.

Solrac, it might be better if you would concentrate your efforts on updating our wiki since some information has already been repeated a few times, particularly the roms list. If you wind up putting them in the wiki then other users can edit it once you decide to not update this thread. I've seen it happen to at least two other threads already which is why team acid have moved some of our instructions to the wiki.

Eollie, I agree that the stickies are cluttered. We don't even use a lot of them anymore.
I still say that we should move toward using only the wiki for guides to avoid this in the future since we've had a lot of the op's for the stickies leave and then we have oudated stickied threads. With the wiki it doesn't matter who leaves, everyone can still edit the guide and keep it up to date.

I have thought about making a update guide like the bible thread but every time I start I have never finished. Im not fond of the wiki for some of the reasons twisted spoke about, however it can be useful.
Is there a person that is notified when edits are made? So we can make sure the proper info is put on it? Ive never paid enough attention to that aspect.
There's a history option in the wiki that lets you view the latest edits, and see what exactly go changed. (It's up top in the navigation)
The thing is that the lack of information can be addressed by adding it. Twisted said there were no Odin guides, well we can add them. There's no real reason why we shouldn't be using it. I know everyone wants to start their thread with their guide on how to do things their way, but there has to be an accepted method of doing things. I've written up a few of the guides on the Wiki but then someone else comes along and improves it with a better method that is more up to date. That's how it should be, you don't have to go to MY thread to try and edit it or try to get me to update it. You can just go in and do it yourself.
Fb... I really didnt mean to cause wave bro, but to be honest I dont know which links I used to root my phone... I look tomorrow at my downloads and see which ones I used, but I do know that I tried alot of different ways so it might take me a minute to find it all... But like I said it was informative and im not taking way from the concept of it cuz I think it would be easier for new ppl trying to root there phone... There is just a lot of info out there that isnt in the wiki...

No one can stop another user/troll from putting bad, offensive, or just plan misinformation out there. The maintenance of the wiki is a community effort. Thus we are all responsible for updating it and cleaning it up.
I do like the idea of checks and balances, though. What we need for that effort are maintainers. On top of the community making updates we could have a few people that collaborate to help keep the wiki clean, up to date, etc. The trick would be getting volunteers for Team Wiki (wicked? Wikid! lol) that can put the time and effort into the moderation of the wiki.
Just my 2ȼ.
Nvm, just checked the wiki and it has either been updated or i was blind before, cuz everything i used is in the wiki...
. I'm glad you see that. If someone updates it and starts screwing with the wiki a moderator can always step in. It's basically like the forums, we can't stop you from posting, but once you've posted something that you shouldn't have, we can remove it. We can do the same on the wiki, it keeps track of the edit history, we can always revert to a good version.
Check out this nice list of ROMs available for our phone. It's the most up to date one (thanks to solrac who just updated the list of custom mtd roms portion)

Thanks FB that was what I was wanting to know. I have the same reservations as anonymous and Stephen. Ive seen wikipedia edited and things slipped until somebody caught it.
Ive spoke with TRusselo and if we can come up with a list of the threads that need to be cleaned and unstuck he is willing to look into is. However since he doesnt own the phone he did not want to jump in unstickying threads willy nilly. I had planned on posting earlier today but I spent a good part of my day fixing bicycles so I can take my kiddo bike riding.
Ill be out most of tomorrow but Ill try to post my list sometime and if any of you want to also suggest it would be great. My thinking is we can always link to the threads via the wiki and maybe create a new version of the bible thread and the FAQ thread Mr. Clown created.
If you want to make suggestions please list which sub the thread is in and the thread name no need to link it. The final list will have links when I submit it to TRusselo.
Well I can say once this idea is completed it will be a lot more user friendly...

This one too has some forum rules and common sense stuff posted. Maybe condense it with the one above.

This one is a PSA and again something that is part of the main rules.

This one is very informative but maybe when Juls updates it he can post it on the wiki.

Since this thread is very out of date it needs to be unstuck. Most information in this thread has changed and is no longer relevant.

This thread the info is out of date. The second post is useful but the first one is out of date.

This one if we get official support of RM it will be outdated.

All of the above is open for suggestions or even tell me certain threads need to stay as stickies. Im just looking to trim the sticky list down.
I was also thinking each sub could have a thread that has links to the wiki for things. That way even if the person that creates it leaves and never comes back the wiki links will be the same. Then the threads can be linked on the wiki and if a thread is out dated it can be removed from the wiki.
Looks like good suggestions so far.
As far as recreating the bible thread, we can easily do that in the wiki. The roms portion is pretty much set except for roms that haven't been released yet.
The dev stickies are definitely the ones we should get rid of. right now we have 6 stickied threads. They take up a lot of room before getting to the latest content from dev threads.
I agree with creating a bible in the wiki, I was suggesting linking to it in a sticky. I tend to have a hard time expressing my thoughts in few words. I mean you have read some of my posts .
Anybody have any objections to the lists I have above?
Eollie if you want make a stickie of the rom wiki because I always update this wiki

I have not yet had an opportunity to look through your list. Seems FB read through it and I know I trust his opinion. I will look through it later. Thanks for taking the time to get this going.
