So who are the developers that are going to be developing for the Samsung Nexus S 4G (D720)? I figured this is a question everyone has been wondering. Im very excited to get started with my Nexus S 4G! (Previously came from the HTC Evo and there were alot of dedicated dev., Hope to see the same here)
P.S I didnt put this in the Q&A Because this is a direct question to the developers in this section about the current ROM's Available. Please don't be upset : )
I hope netarchy puts up a rom with his liquid smooth touches. His evo rom + kernel was ILL.
The thing is, the nexus s and ns4g are dev phones, bare bone AOSP, so a custom rom is just gunna be "themed" a bit and/or the real "improvements" are in the Kernel or any additional apps the dev has created.
I would love to see a bunch of ports make their way over. I would imagine that a dev phone would be one of the easiest to port/build for (easy for a dev, not the average human )
in a way, we all are.. who is to say that someone has to be a "dev" to make something, or find out what may fix something? on the heroc we had hundreds of users sitting in an irc room helping each other trying to figure out why things didnt work and what would happen if we pressed this button 7 times instead of 4..
so in short grab some code and lets start working my repo is synced and already compiled im working with the rest of the ACS team to see if we cant bring some lovins on over from the epic/evo
trying to come up with a good name for the rom >.>
Well, its very time consuming. I did alot of theming in the past, then wrote a few apps for WebOS, but just don't seem to have the time anymore with fulltime work, college, etc.
You are right tho, anyone can learn and the nexus line are a great place to start, simple and not complicated. Come on young high-school minds with oodles of time! Make ur name known! Lol
Really tho, I wish I could contribute more

You know I have some time since school is over and now I'm just looking for work to pass me by til its starts again. NO BS if somebody could point me to the right way help me along the way. I would make a rom for the ns4g. Always wanted to just for self pride not for glory or money. So I'm here and ready!
I know alot of you guys don't know him. But ask any Droid owner about Peter Alfonso (BuglessPete). You couldn't ask for a better dev to work on stuff for your phone. * no pressure Pete
Seriously though shabbypenguin hit the nail on the head. We are in this together ...

This number one thing to do is get ur pc ready with the right software and drivers (there are a couple applications for compiling/decompiling and signing, not just what u use for root)
There's a thread around here about theming for the epic. It has a nice intro to the basic setup ull need, just be sure to replace anything epic with sns, u can then move on to ROMs once u understand what composes a ROM. When I'm back at my PC I could probably hook u up w a good place to start, but right now I'm out and about after this heathen Bulls game! Woot woot!

If I may suggest, Epic 4G is just about the same as the NS4G. From what I hear they got our stock to work on Epic just after I posted this.
I know they have the CM7 half way ported on Epic as well as the obvious stock with the TouchWiz interface for whoever likes that stuff I figured this would be the easiest place to start.
stop spamming this, its not going to work, for the same reasons why i explained in your thread about it
It probably will work as much as flashing a Droid ROM onto a Milestone...same hardware...epic fail.
more so then that all they currently have is a .32 cm7 kernel a semi working .35 cm7 kernel and their stock .32 touchwiz kernel.. we only have .35 stock kernel, even if you could get past the bootloops good luck trying to make a phone call or get crap to stop force closing
Spamming? Chill out man. I'm just trying to help.

What's up XDA. I have officially decided to start developing since the Sidekick 4G doesn't have alot of developers. I was about to start before but I changed my mind because I didn't feel like learning java (which i'm learning now). I already know VB, Python, Lisp, and a little C and I already use Linux Distros all the time. I am working on a Red Gingerbread Themed ROM called FreshBlood. It will probally be released in about 2 weeks. I'm in the 11th grade and don't get out of school until 4:10. I get home about 5:00 and go out straight outside to play basketball, football, or hit a J. On weekends, it's Rockband and CoD modding. Therefore, my projects will take weeks, even months, to complete.
I just need to know a few things:
1. What's the best Linux Distro to setup my workstation
2. I'm using a tutorial I found on google. Where can I find good a tutorial for Java
3. What other tools will I need. I think I have them all
1. although I personally use and prefer archlinux, the guides for compiling refer to dependencies for Ubuntu 9.04,9.10, and 10.04, so those would be the easiest to use if you don't want to have to hunt endlessly for packages.
2. unless you're making an app, you won't be using Java. I would suggest searching around the forum for the mod that you're looking for, and most people will post the source of their mod, or at least explain how they did it. for this you'll need to look at baksmali and smali.
3. you'll need baksmali, smali, adb (android sdk), patience.
It's dangerous to go alone!

I wish someone would have given me that link before! That would have made things so much easier
Ok, thanks I will be one my computer all weekend, but I won't have my usb with all my Linux Distros.

Wow, this is all overwhelming but I'm pushing to understand it all.
Do research and make about 10 test roms before you even think about releasing a official one .
Basically, the results of desmali'ing a file, is the mnemonics/syntax field of that document. ANything that is not there, should be regular language (method, void, etc, regular java). If you know java, that file + what you know, is desmali files.
You still working on this? Not trying to rush at all. Just curious.

Hopefully it's great. I went back to stock until a rom that is more stable is released. I've tried them all. Eventually the touchscreen stops working off and on. And a lot of other issues. Sucks that stock is the best thing for this phone right now. Good luck. I'll give it a try when your done.

Man, I just broke my laptop charger so once my battery dies, all development will stop. I won't have the money to buy another one til' next week. But I am going to try to move everything to my phone and see if I can continue some of my work on there. Do anyone know what I can do my phone, if so, how?
Random post. Just need 10 for dev section
*****I'm a beginner ROM Developer, so don't forget to thank and donate*****
Phone: Sidekick 4G
ROM: FreshBlood ROM - Beta
Kernel: Bali 2.2 /w Voodoo
Just rooted the tablet and was looking for Roms, any available? Not sure if I can use the Galaxy 1 Roms so I wanted to ask first.
After an intense examination of this thread, it has been determined that it does not contain development, thus does not belong in development. We are moving it for you, but please make sure you post correctly next time.
I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting with you man. I hope this tab gets some love from some of these awesome devs here. Only time will tell

I am uploading a ROM right now for the GT-P5113 which is the 10.1 US version.
It wont be anything too special at first, just a cleaned up / optimized version of stock.
I have been using it flawlessly for the past couple of days, and and ready to post it and move on to adding some more advanced features that everyone wants.
Sweet! I was hoping somebody would start up with a 10.1 my wife won't let me touch the damn thing if there isn't anything to put on it. I know I can't wait to try it. Thanks for putting in the work. Don't forget a donate link when you do go live!

Hey I'm really really itching to start building a rom. I've read tutorials on how to build, how to modify, and how to port different roms. I have quite a few questions, and I'm hoping someone can donate a little time and knowledge to get me on my way. Here's the details on what time working with. (Please spare the downgrading talk lol)
I have a dell vostro desktop computer, 1gb ram, @1.8ghz.. Revived it from the dead, completely wiped and installed XP professional.. ( trying to upgrade OS, remember I just revived it from it sitting for a few years)
I've installed kitchen and everything to go along with it, everything works great. I've loaded up a rom in the kitchen, that's where I stopped as it was getting late. Here's the questions.
1. It is an aosp rom I've loaded. Can I modify it using the setup I currently have? If not,
2. Do I need abuntu? I've installed abuntu 10.xx via an .exe program,but was told by a very well respected dev that I would need a different abuntu OS.. I can upgrade the abuntu I have to 12.04.. Would this be enough to build or compile from source?
3. Can anyone help with github, or what's needed to be legit and not have the rom locked away like what happened to kingbeats rom?
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

This should help you get going on building from source.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_One_XL:_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux) has the basic instructions.
If you need a little more help with some of the steps, a guy named Redflea over at Rootzwiki has done up this walkthrough: http://goo.gl/Zpht8. It's not written specifically for the One XL, but everything other than the manifest should be the same.
I don't know a whole lot about what it takes to be "legit". I've only ever built for myself.
Build speed is greatly affected by your processor speed and number of cores. Repo sync takes forever especially on a slow connection.
Good luck!
Thanks bro, that looks like a promising start. All the searching I did and I never came across that. I guess I can just dive in and whenever I'm ready to release I'll just ask a bunch of questions and pm a lot of people lol. I'll really have to read and ask the moderators.. I hope they respond to pm's
Edit.. The first link says its blank... I'll try something else

Yea man I'm hoping to help keep development alive for this sick device. One of our very own is being extremely helpful and patient with me through pm.. Almost have a virtual machine setup and I've been reading on compiling from source from these guys. Ima give it a stab.. Very difficult though
I need to install abuntu 12.04 OS onto virtual machine.. VMplayer is setup up and abuntu is downloaded in a huge .iso... Anyone know how to install?

You can use the wubi installer for 12.04 lts. Then, if you need more space, you can reformat your drive partitions. That's what I did.

So everyone knows that situation we are in with our kernel.... At the moment, its DECENT, but it is extremely outdated. Although it is enough to keep things working at the moment, who knows what may happen with future OS releases... We have had no official support since the days of gingerbread. Myself and a handful of other developers have been making changes/additions when needed and to the best of our abilities, but with such an outdated kernel, it is getting harder and harder to make necessary changes to work with the existing source.
As of right now, this will be a two man project... Myself and rwaterspf1. Those of you who are not familiar with rwaterspf1, that is the member that recently donated his infuse to me. I got to talking with him and it turns out that he is not a stranger around kernel development in other areas. I am currently talking with a couple other people and may get some assistance from them as well.
We will be attempting to add support for the infuse4g into the Aries kernel. - Which is a updated and supported kernel
This is DAY ONE, and nothing has been done yet. This is the very beginning and for those of you that are not familiar with kernel development, there is alot that goes into it, so do NOT expect this to be completed with a day or two. This will be an ONGOING development thread.
As a disclaimer, I want to make sure that everyone is aware that this may NOT work at all and may just be a huge fail. We will try our best and from the looks of it, I think its definitely something we can figure out.
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS, and we ask that you all support us even in the event of failure.
Progress can be found -> HERE
Efforts as of 4/28/2013
* MTD partition table and file system files added into kernel
* Touchscreen drivers copied over
* Added video driver files and edited existing files
* Edited modem files for infuse compatibilities
* Infuse edits added to sec_jack file for compatibility
You can find rwaterspf1's profile from HERE
There will be numerous benefits if we are able to do this... And hell... who knows.... it may even fix up the 720p recording issue in doing this... No promises though.
I'm willing to try. And I'm last to throw rocks as long as great effort is given. And seeing your roms, don't think you have any other mindset.
