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?

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.

Suggested standardized thread names and file names

After reading threw the threads and seeing how many different ways the devs are naming the threads and file names. I thought it would be helpful to have a standardized thread\file name layout. This is only a suggestion but I do think it would be help to everyone if we could use this or something like it.
Just my two cents.

Third. And we should make it mandatory that anytime a thread is updated, the title should be too. I don't think any of our regulars *don't* do that, so we're mostly kosher, but still.

IMO 2+2 can only be 4. It's not that hard to figure out. I honestly don't care. Because if you don't understand it in the first place you shouldn't care what order it's in. Now if you understand what you are doing you shouldn't care either as you know what the hell you are looking at....

Trouble is, people who may not understand flash anyway. Seems to me that standardized labeling, at the very least, could take some of the devs time troubleshooting.

I'm not wanting to sound like a **** but at one point in time we were all noobs. This will help them and us. 1. it will make presenting all the info you need to know about a rom,kernel, theme, ect. all in a nice organized way easy to read easy to understand. 2. by having all that info in title and filename it will make it easy to find when searching for all of the above. This isn't something etched into stone it is just a suggestion. So far everyone seems to be on board but you. again that's just my 2 cents

Now that it seems that most of us on here think that this is a good idea. Let's see if the devs and themers can adopt the new labeling system.

Theres a big difference between a newb n someone who is too damn lazy to learn the basics. We've all made this stuff very easy to learn by all the write ups n guides so there is no excuse for not understanding. most of us always try to make sure to include the build, date, version and name so it's a non issue IMO.

Lol. That's funny.

Stickied and noted.
What I also suggest, is that when you have a new version out, create a new thread. It will make searching SO much easier as the user won't have to wade through all the fixes and issues for version 1.21 when the version is now 3.2.
If you aren't a recognized developer, and thus can't close your own thread, PM me and I will close it after you've created the new one.

[Q] Porting ICS from the Vibrant

Hi Guys
Looks like there's a pretty good ICS port for the Vibrant.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961
Has anyone attempted to port this thing to the SGS4G? I read the guide on how to do it and it doesn't sound like there's a ton of work, since you only have to compile one file.

I just realized that was my 1000th post. Good thing it was a joke.

I read a lot, and talk a little, so my perspectives are often skewed.
That being said, it AMAZES me how often think "just compiling one file" is so simple. Really? Just sending one monkey to mars should be easy too...start flapping your arms, and I'll meet you there.
The point being? The tools aren't there yet, and anyone who utilizes the amazing superpower of literacy knows that.

Did you read the porting guide? Pretty sure the JDK and the other tools the author specified can do the job. Specifically decompiling, hex editing and recompiling. I used the amazing superpower of literacy to read that, btw.

Well, there is this fancy 'search' tool in the upper right coner of the web page.
This conversation has been going on for quite some time.
You sure could port the rom, but the kernel for the sgs4g will not work... yet.
The other problem is that it would be better to have the source for the rom then to just mod the vibrant rom. Reason being is that if we have the source we can use normal debugging tools to find and solve the issues, instead of trying to reverse engineer open source software... which just seem silly to me.

Requesting binary ics drivers from nvidia

Hey guys as many of us are aware, us relying on carriers and handset manufacturers to release os updates is almost pointless. There are many other devices that are ics capable yet won't be upgraded do to carriers and phone manufacturers. What the sgs2 community did was request drivers from qualcomm and they provided. I think with enough community support nvidia will as well. We are one driver away from complete ics goodness, no more crashes or bugs. I searched Google and saw that this community has already contacted nvidia here: http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/devforum/discussion/1726/tegra-2-source-code/p1 and here: http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/devforum/discussion/comment/3236?Sort=popular
So let's group together and work as a team to convince nvidia they will be doing a great service to our community, it will only strengthen their presence in the android community by doing so.
Any developers here have suggestions on persuading nvidia to support us and have them notice us? I think their dev forum is a good start, also social media may help. I wonder how many g2x owners are still out there?
lets make our voices heard and finish what we started.

Quick edit, did anyone else notice the guy saying that Nvidia is trying to release the binaries for Tegra 2 Dual Cores in 2012? He posted this in November 2011:
Hello Android Development Community
We appreciate all the interest and passion surrounding the NVIDIA Tegra Platform and we take our support for the development community seriously. NVIDIA has been working with Google and Motorola to provide the open source community with the required drivers and other binary code to build full Android OS images for the Tegra 2 powered "Motorola Xoom". We expect Google to make those components available as part of the Android Open Source Project soon.
In addition, NVIDIA is working on a full release of Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) for our Tegra 2 Dual Core and Tegra 3 Quad Core reference devices to be made available early next year. This release package will comprise of binary code, drivers developed on our reference platforms and any patches necessary to ensure stability & performance with ICS. We hope the open source community can leverage this release for their work on all Tegra devices.

But I'm a little confused, why, then, is everyone worried about receiving these binaries? Or am I not reading this correctly?
Sorry for my ignorance, I do not know much about the driver development with regards to linux/android/ICS, going to google this a bit now.

The same issue has been beaten to death on XDA and elsewhere. I am pissed-off that those who newly raise this issue haven't done their homework, they just ignorantly post what has already been dealt with and are using up/wasting bandwidth and storage. The same for others who ask without researching/looking first to determine if the answer to their question exists before they ask. I've stopped answering questions which have been answered many times already. That may be perceived by some as arrogant/harsh/mean/etc. but that's OK, they can keep answering the same questions over and over and over and over and over... again.

You guys realize that you just look like security guards, right? No real power, but love to think you do by being sarcastic flamers. You're annoying for no other reason than to think you're somebody you're clearly not. You took time to be annoyed instead of continuing to scroll.

That being said I would love to see a port and will offer to add to the bounty. Thanks OP for getting this started.

Whether or not they are being like security guards, they are right about this going in general. As there is currently no actual development taking place, this is just a thread clogging the dev section. Until there is at least a preview build, this should be moved. Honest mistake by the op. Mod, please move or close the thread.

I mentioned this in one of the other threads, but the Ativ S was seen on the Verizon roadmap. I believe that would simplify some of the process in porting it.
