[APP REQUEST] Launching record label, looking to old friends for support!

Hey guys! It's been a long while, for some reason my post count is greatly reduced, but oh well, all you old timers probably remember me, lol.
Anyway, so here's the deal, I'm launching my record label, Syko Records, and I've been trying to think of creative ways to dominate the industry, being a no-name-up-and-comer I have to be innovative. Of course, I thought of all my genius pals here at XDA, and hope that maybe someone would be interested in volunteering their time for the cause.
I don't have any monetary compensation, but I'm sure we can work out something that benefits you for your time!
If anyone is interested in being a part of the next big movement in music, please let me know and lets get started!
Peace!
Ken

Oh come on, I know someone wants a chance to work with an indie record label! I hoped there would have been a better response!
Anyone!?

Hahaha, well actually I'm always checking out artists, if you want to send me over a digital press kit I'll be more than happy to check it out, especially since you're an XDA buddy.
Send me a PM, and I'll shoot you an email to send some tracks to.

....testes one two three...testes one two three.....is THIS THING ON? lol j/k...

So seriously REALLY? There are no giving souls out there?

I'm no app developer yet but what exactly are you looking for? Ive been wanting to learn it for a while but haven't really found anything to create that hasn't already been done a million times. I'd love to help if you have enough time for me to learn as I go. Hit me up on gtalk: [email protected] if you're interested.

So what's up!? I'm not going to just let this die!
I encourage any developers interested in rap and hip hop to check out my website www.sykorecords.com.
You could be a part of something HUGE!

Not really helpful just pointing out one of the most Influential record companies around has a very similar name

Just incase you didn't know dunno just always remember a issue between microsoft and a guy named mike rowe and the website mikerowesoft

To all who develop for this community - Thank you.

I write this because I can't sleep.
No really because I feel anyone who feels the same should say so:
I am so very appreciative to all who dev for this phone. What you've done for this device is much more then bring us custom ROMs but you help anyone of us with problems we have regardless of the ROM we are running. Your awesome for staying and not quitting after 1 or 2 good ROMs ("tbalden") and you do it not for money but for us as a community.
For that I thank each of you, and can't express how greatful I am that we have so many new directions here recently.
Here is to you!!!! :beer:
Typed by ---- oh wait! I'm schizophrenic!

Yes, i second this! Thanks to all who have developed for this device, no matter how much or how little! Even if you have been rude, and condescending (you know who I mean), I am thankful for you all! I am very excited to see what you guys come up with next, and I will be donating as soon as I no longer have to choose between electricity and food!

:bump: DEVS RULE!!!!

im share the same feeling. i visit xda forum daily. just love how other people spend their time trying to help other people and just trying to make the mt4gs better!

+1 couldn't have said it better myself

I wanted to start developing for this phone too, but school and other obligations got in the way. I'll leave it to tbalden and the rest of XDA and rootz

There's no fun in that jk. But even if its small the users still appreciate the work you do.

I couldn't agree more. I have a disability, and DEPEND on my phone. T-Mobile support? Less than useful with all the problems I've run into. Thanks to the developers here, I am now able to customize my phone in the ways I need to manage my health.
Custom roms are great, but my health has improved because of the work people have put into this community. I don't think that's something people typically consider, and I'm not the only person who has benefitted in this way.
I am genuinely grateful. Thank you.

+1 and bump and whatever else I can do! I'm in complete agreement and thank you devs. I'm about to start learning to develop apps and whatnot myself and it all started here with me and my G1!
AND the amazing group of people who turned a hobby into a benefit to everyone they could help!

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this and then the thread will get locked, but guess what? I don't care.
I have noticed that there are a lot of Dev's and others posting things here that they do for no other reason than to share. Sure a lot of people want recognition, but at the end of the day no one makes money off of this. That's what the Play Store is for.
I'm sure a lot of people would agree that it is very sad that you can't go through many release threads without somebody getting mad at someone else, and worse, getting mad at the guy/gal who spent hours making something which they then shared for FREE.
I'm not going to sit here and spew the same crap about how people should get along and all that; you have parents for that. I will simply say, "thank you" to all of the developers, modders, themers and anyone else who made an honest attempt to contribute. Before you get frustrated and down, remember that for every person who makes a fuss and angers you to the point of violence, there are at least 50 other users who appreciate your efforts. Thank you for contributing to the community.

Agree 100%. People act like they deserve ROMs, themes, mods, ect. You don't. The ROM makers do this for enjoyment. I'm 14 and have a ton of work to do and of course there's school drama. I use Android to get away from all of it. It feels good. Then people reprimand us about how the ROM sucks. It is not cool. I hope this forum gets ynder control fast.

I know you devs, & also the ones that port the roms work hard, & do your best to provide stable roms for all to enjoy. You do it basically for free and I would hope people like me, that use them, would simply say thank you. I will be honest, & let you all know that I am currently laid off from my job, and I can barely provide for my wife & son, therefore I have not been able to donate any money to help keep yalls moral up, but I hope that in the near future I can. But at the very least, I can say thank you for all you do. I have fun reading & learning from u guys, & as far as the people that complain...I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you, because there are A LOT more satisfied people than there are complaints!

Ahhhh! The joys of life
We all love to enjoy the work of others as if it were our own. It seems that as we use it ,we believe that it actually is ours {in my mind. Therefore to criticize is warranted and fair. [in my mind of course]. So don"t allow others to get to you. Developers do hard yet rewarding labor with mistakes , goofs, knowledge, and joys- provided that we who enjoy the fruits of their labor appreciate labor is involved and dissapointment is evident to them and us when problems arise. True joy is achieved when constructive comments lead to further development as well as real progress. If all were fired for goofs on the job all nations would be on the dole [if govts could afford it with no tax base]. Love your neighbor as yourself, especially in this case when he's working for free

Agreed. Constructive critism should always be welcome. The key word, though, is contsructive.
Thank you for you input.

I just wonder how you do it. I tried to learn c++ not too long ago but took a break cuz its so hard. Considering Java is about the same difficulty level and that you're able to make and port roms, you got a lot of perseverance and dedication.

Well thank you again listen. To get into developing for Android, you gotta read a lot and ask questions. I did that, and look where I am so I think you should keep going. PM me with questions if you want. Good luck!

but most importantly, before all of that, you gotta make the commitment. you can't just decide one day to develop and back down the next day. it doesn't work that way. if you're going to develop, you gotta stick with it till the very end.

oh im on that boat right now, it is difficult to begin into this whole development thing, i've been doing a lot of reading, coding samples on piece of paper, researching the forums for question that im sure were asked but most importantly as Saranhai said is the commitment, im down 100% to learn on my free time not only that but i do try, i really try hard to make this whole thing pay, i can modify apks, i already started creating themes for the theme engine in CM, my next step is theming a whole rom then after that i will learn how to compile from source, port and ultimately my goal is on the launcher, i would love to come up with a different UI as everyone else does at one point.
Sometimes people does not recognize the time you invest as a developer, i don't consider myself a developer as i do fairly basic things, probably my big mistake so far is not asking for help mainly because im afraid of rejection, i asked for help in the past (not on XDA but on another forum) and the dev just got his enjoyment to call me noob, rookie or every single word that is out there to just call me a novice after that i just decided to do not ask any questions and just learn by myself, yeah i have questions about many things and probably is better when someone with experience tells you what to do in case of errors but nothing like your own sacrifice.
i really hope this community gets better, as in any forum you will find people that is down to criticize your work in a good way so you can improve and then there are the a**holes who think you have to fix whatever error they have just because you have to.......Me? if you want an honest and constructive criticism i will tell you what's wrong and probably i wont tell you how to fix it as im fairly new into android development but i can do that, i can try your work and tell you whats wrong with it.

Wow. Well, people are a little nicer around here, and you can always PM someone. But, like you said, if you learn on your own it's even better.

I did that the other day. My wife keeps the extra rolls in the hallway, so I had to do the ****e shuffle out to the hallway cabinet. Suuuucks.

A call to arms!

Ok, I mentioned in annother thread that I am willing to learn developing so our phone dosent die. I've rrun into a bit of a hiccup in that I'm compeletly new to programming and I've either gotten no response or a negative one when I went looking for pointers. Fear not I am still not giving up it is just going to take longer than expected. So in interest of keeping development moving forward I'm putting out a call to arms. Are there any other aspiring developers out there? If so post in this thread what you are good at and what you can do. Perhaps we can collaborate and push out a rom in the near future. Personally I am an expert at graphic manipulation and can handle all of the ui, still working on the coding part. For everyone else, post things you would like to see and perhaps one of us could pick it up and run with it. Let's work together and make this work better than they ever thought it could!

Sigh..
We can't work together if you don't have experience with coding.
If you really want to get a spark, you need to get a promising build onto github. And, you will need experience and attention to detail. Nobody wants to help if you don't comment your code, keep good changelogs, and maintain a good readme.
So far, I don't see it out there.
Furthermore, I can't afford to spend hours working on something that won't pay my mortgage. Most of us can't.
If I hit the lottery, maybe I'm your guy. In the meantime, we can't work together without a leader.
And, let's hope the next developer isn't lacing every file with a bunch of jibber jabber about "don't kang my sh*t, bro." Because, a collaborative effort would require plenty of sharing.
Just my two cents.

I would love to see a new Sense rom. but this place seems dead. Coming from the G1 I was surprised to see barely any roms. Even though the G1 is a ancent phone, it had quite a bit of rom and there's more activity over there than there is activity over here.

I appreciate your honesty. But you misunderstand my intentions. I am not looking for someone to hold my hand and walk me through how to do everything. I, at most, am looking for info on how to start. I know I need expirence in coding before I can push out a rom, and that it will take a while to get that. That's why I started this thread. So, instead of waiting for me to finish the learning process we can get any other aspiring developers together to start something new in the meantime. I know there are others out there and if we all start posting what we can do and what we would like to see then maybe something may come from it. Thank you for point me to github, I'm sure I can learn some more from there. I understand about responsibilities getting in the way of hobbies, I have kids and a mortgage too, I'm just looking to get all the new developers together so that we can share and work together. I have a friend that writes code for websites for a living and I'm trying to get him on board to take this up as a hobby. Here's hoping.

Reactive was a guy who tried to get everyone banned for using open source work, and thus in turn got banned himself.
I would be welcomed to help teach you a bit. I wish I had a learning curve when I was just beginning how to cook ROMS.
1. Download a ROM, unzip it, browse around files, and open files. Play with things.
2. When in doubt, Google it. It's likely someone else had the same problem before you and is a basis on how I fix 80% of ROM problems.
3. Always, always make a NANDROID. A foolish mistake is to flash your own ROM and not have a backup to go to, and than you have to start all over.

[IDEA] For a game

I had an idea for a game last night, but i have no experience making game applications, or any type of application for phones. I'm really looking for someone that knows how to code to maybe bring my idea to light, i feel somewhat confident that my idea is somewhat original in the sense that i don't think I've seen a game of it's type on the play store. I don't want to give any specifics about the game on here to keep my idea my own for purposes of future advances, if i can find someone capable, and willing to be a partner in this goal i have. please send me a PM on here if you feel capable of maybe dabbling in such a project, and we can possibly discuss further the goals i have for this game.

Bump, It's a pretty good idea! lol

Its hard to find a person that'll take up such a request. Its possible but I reckon, the best way you can make your idea into reality is by doing it yourself.
I have had many ideas, and I barely knew any coding languages. So I sat at my desk and researched and asked for help with coding. And guess what? I made my ideas into something that can be used. Like the launcher I wished to create.
Give it a go, you'll benefit from it.

I think if i can find someone willing to take on such a request, i might be interested in getting a kick starter going, i'm still working on the layout of what the game is going to be, i have a lot of ideas for the game, it's just selecting and weeding out what i want and don't need.

Sounds like something interesting. I am not that great with game development so I can't help you out here.
Hopefully someone takes up the step to help you out. Sounds interesting.
Good luck
