[Q] In search of experienced advice. - General Questions and Answers

Hey XDA talk with me, about a year or so ago i got an htc inspire 4g and I been hooked on android ever since. Finally realized i spend way too much time doing it to not get paid for it. Soooo.....I'm completly self taught and I know enough that these threads are no longer Greek to me. Which is easier to create and or maintain high quality, high fuctioning.....apps? .......or ROMS?......Maybe kernels? I can't decided which would help me grow into a established developer.
suggestions?
comments?
cuss outs?
let me know about it

With one or two apps and a rom in the beta stage, I would say app developing is way easier.
In rom development, there are a lot of areas to manage, which makes app development easier

Thanks

So does SDK work for ROM development too?

Thanks to Uk9 and his wonderful works!
Thanks undeadk9. So much better than the stock one.
Anyway to make one with sense only? Meaning no apps at all besides phone,mail and messages.
I agree, thank you to all but espicially undead9! Zombie is the whip! (Making new backs and stuff so back on stock atm)

I haven't seen very much dev bashing here. I am not sure why, I guess this phone has a much more mature audience.
So far devs, users and noobs have been getting along great.
I hope it stays that way!

There is no dev bashing cause there is so little development. No one wants to chase what we have away. As long as it stays this way im here to stay for the long haul.

I'd hate to see you go. You are quite literally insane ( and I mean this in the most positive way possible) . I thought I put in some hours on stuff like this, but you run like a goddamn well oiled machine tirelessly. Wonder how many know you develop for other devices past the MT4GS as well... making your achievements that much more noteworthy.
I like how quick you are to help other developers, and i've enjoyed collaborating with you in the past and am looking forward to opportunities to do so in the future.

....and many thanks to anyone who contributes anything at all from Creating a ROM all the down to a helpful answer to a question. It's always appreciated.
Im going to start a joint project with blahblah one cm7 releases the device vendor code for the mt4gs.

The ROMs from Undead have been completely awesome. Apps run smoothly, memory is efficient, and the battery life is superb. I'm quite sad to see that he was banned due to actions from the past, and I'm slightly upset that there lacks a means for users to attempt an appeal on his behalf.

[Q] I wish we had CM7..

I'm just wondering if there are any devs working on this. I know there were a couple working on it, but what happened? Did it get discontinued? Thanks guys
Yes, people are working on it. In the meantime, be thankful for what we do have instead of whining about what we don't. That's the reason for the season.
Yeahh, i'm definitely whining. Sorry for asking questions, maybe my post shoulda gone in the Q&A section.. oh wait.
Well, the title of the thread said it all. I didn't mean to sound like an ass, it's just that we have great devs putting out great work right now, and still people are unhappy. Anyway, yes people are working on it and it has not been discontinued as far as I know.
Just move on to a new phone. That's what I did. Sgs4g will never have CM.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
It will. It just takes time- things have to be done first before CM will magically be officially supported. A working kernel, which is in the works, has to be done first.
It really takes time. No one ever thought that the Droid 2, X (though nightly's) or the Motorola Cliq (worst phone ever built) would see a Cyanogen build. As far as if anyone is working on it though... thats kinda an unknown. Krylon360 had a thread over on rootswiki about it, but there hasn't been a real update on status... he is a busy person with other priorities quite frankly, namely work, something I am sure we can all relate to.
Once the kernel is finished, it will happen. Truth be told, you are not missing much though. I had a Nexus One for a year, and quite frankly, Valhalla is a much more stable rom. Cyanogen's updates slowed down massively (people got jobs), and in comparison, individuals that develop here are for more committed and update much more frequently. The best thing you can do is attempt to learn how to do these things yourself, donate to the individuals that do, or be willing to subject your phone to the most horrendous of builds in order for everyone else to get a better build.
P.S. These 'buy a new phone' comments get really old. That's exactly what a company like Motorola or Samsung would want- for us to buy a new phone to get an upgrade. The Galaxy S 4g is an amazing phone, I personally see no reason to buy any other phone on the market. Android is supposed to be open-source and modified, we can't do that by simply walking away.
Everyone has their own tastes. The N1 has really old hardware compared to sgs4g. Google pushed the GB update to them, but it didn't really make much of a difference. So cyanogen had to make an official for them. Also, when we get CM7, we will like it more than usual because people who get things all the time don't appreciate. We waited so long, that it will be beautiful.
So the CM7 for Samsung Galaxy SII doesn't work on the Epic 4g Touch?
I'll keep saying this. You want a dev to work on something, show him some appreciation by sending him a few bucks so he can get a coffee for all those hours spent coding. Trust me, I've gotten donations before and it's a great motivator to get stuff out to people
Personally I'm glad there's no cm7 for the sgs4g. I don't like it and it seems like whenever cm7 hits a phone everyone stops making cool roms and starts basing everything off it. If we had cm7 we might of never got octane!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I feel the frustration that the devs have to put up with in figuring out what Samsung will not tell us. They instead announce they will not support existing Galaxy S phones because there is not enough memory to run touch wiz and ICS. Well, my opinion to that is, provide an API to existing proprietary drivers so the code can be tailored accordingly.
Releasing the source is a plus, but the hidden stuff is what stalls development.

I loved my mytouch 4g. Was an awesome phone with TONs of options.
Shattered it... had to use a SGS4G... what a POS compared to the MT4G.
Moved on to a N1 and now enjoying some ICS and CM. Basically use the SGS4G as a nanny can / mini webserver.

OK I'm curious, your always bashing the sgs4g, why? Did it rob you or something!? You seem to have a major issue with it and I really don't see why. Because honestly its a damn good phone. Not having the most dev support doesn't change that, mine was an excellent android device completely stock.

Technically, the kernel should work fine. Its the device tree that needs love.
Know what I'm talking about? Check out DRockstar's cm7 bml kernel thread for sources in the epic 4g forum. They have cm7 running on ext4.
I'm no android expert, just kick ass with the kernel... But slowly I'm picking up on stuff.
Check out the other repositories on my github page and pm me if you know how to help.

Hello guys&gals

Just introducing myself to all of the skyrocket users. Long time forum watcher new forum member. I love this place. My first Android phone was a captivate for att. This is my second Android (skyrocket)and I must say I love it.
I screwed up the stock ROM by fudging with the framework-res.apk and trying to alter it so that I could enable sip over cellular data. Bricked it. re flashed with stock ROM. Worked fine until I tried it again.
Now i'm using sky ice cream sandwich...I must say its nice. (sadly no sip over data ).
I'm a student and full time worker. I work on telephone systems and electronics/computers and radios for a huge company.
I'm studying cyber security and know Java( the basics simple programs) and am teaching myself C.
If there is anything anyone needs don't hesitate to ask. If I can help I will.
Thanks for an awesome website and pleased to be here.
Tim

Is any one still making roms for this device?

I know that making a rom takes a very long time but our device seems to only have 5-10 (maybe more) good/stable roms. every one else seems to be getting a lot more love. is it cause we have a miSense device?
Just because we don't have 30 CM9 roms with each a different name doesn't mean we don't have roms. It means we respect each others work and choose not to duplicate it and call it our own.

This. I honestly don't think we're lacking in types of rom that we have.
I mean, we have stock-tweaked, aosp, sense roms, CM roms, different versions of MIUI's. Hell, we even have JB in the making!
So, yes, they're still alive and making roms.
Well, the reason I don't complain is because I can't dev. There's just no time for it. Yeah I get jealous of other forums from time to time, but the alternative is learning how to make my own rom.
Better not to bite the hand that feeds you.
I personally think we have a group of great devs for this device who are very willing to share each others' work to benefit the community at large I am curious as to what TBalden has going right now cuz he's been awfully quiet lately.

I actually used to think the same thing until I paid the f*** attention. Now that I pay the f*** attention, I see there is quite a bit of development...

Where better than most fourms right now. Some newer devices are all on stock based roms. Atleast we have CM9, and MIUI. Virtuoius, and tons of sense.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
really?
I dont say much around here...but man oh man, i have to this time. First of all, a huge thanks to all the devs. I'd go by name but someone deserving would be left out...we may be short on kangs but we've got great roms. I'll take quality over quantity.
I had an ace previously. Dozens and dozens of roms, but they've just repeated themselves. There's only a handful of systems to be ported anyways.
Kernel development on this phone has been off the chains. Anything running on tbalden and kornyone's work has been smooth and slick.
Frankly, I knew when I got the phone that since sliders are kind of niche the scene would be smaller. Used the demo phone in the store to verify that cm was in a complete state. Which it most definitely is. Feeling pretty confidant that cm10/jb will reach completion.
Anyways, I'm probably gonna cry when this phone dies. Maybe you can sell me yours for a spare. Cuz if I ever have to turn mine in on insurance they'll probably try to hand me a different model.

It seems like a weekly occurrence around here. The "weekly whiner" is a good name for them. I like it! Let's make them wear a virtual dunce cap for a week as punishment lol! Embarrassment might break this annoying cycle
If its so annoying don't comment. It's just a simple question. Why people always get mad at certain stuff if u get that mad or annoyed don't bother with posting. It's not that hard. Plus I just wanted to know a simple answer to a simple question.

It isn't anger you detect as much as it is frustration K7. What is plainly obvious to developers & other coders isn't so much to the rest of us just looking at the threads & available ROMs. I HAVE noticed though because of helping a friend out with an EVO 4G that many of the ROMs are little more than a redistributed but newly themed, customized & slightly altered versions of another popular ROM. Do that several times and you have 5 ROMs with little differences to the core program multiplied across 5 or 6 basic initial formats & you have plenty....kinda. If that was what was happening to the MT4Gs then we'd have 40+ ROMs 'listed' but few differences other than the new name.
This isn't meant to disparage any developers in other forums for other devices and it may very well be an isolated case but it is something I noticed.
Just my nickel's worth.....
I just don't understand the need to create new threads for topics that aren't new, insightful, or helpful

40 half baked shlt roms, or a couple rock solid good ones?
you decide.
Also, it's good to mention that not every ROM for this device is at XDA.
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G Slide using xda premium
Ok so where all the couple rock solid ones? The closest I've found is virtuous inquisition and even that has been giving me all kinds of issues lately. I don't want more ROMS necessarily, just one, vanilla, zero issues rom and id stick with this phone the rest of the year.

Any roms working on vzw SCH-i705+

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
