Correct me if I'm wrong, but Original Development would be a section where coders who write android programs/Roms/Kernel from scratch/AOSP, opposed to writing hacks/modifications/unofficial nightlies for pre-existing software originally written by someone else.

Petty much.
Although in "original" the meaning is that the larger percentage of it is your work. If you take kernel source (with permission and credits etc) and add a couple of functions to it, then that is not original. But if you take it and add substantial functions such as dual boot, works on Stock/AOSP and then some - perhaps you can argue it is different enough from the original to be original again

This is a long, but good read. The answer to your question is within it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47033844

And I found it at the end of the document xD. Thanks to all for answering.
In other forums like Gnexus, galaxy S or Htc magic, there wasn't two sepparate development sections I think.

I Need a WP7 Custom Rom that Does This...

i'm thinking of buying a titan 2.. is there a custom rom that removes the restrictions on wp7 AND allows text wrap of webpages when zooming?
Look at the latest updates at the appropriate section.
Sent from my ST15i using XDA
I don't believe the Titan 2 has custom ROMs yet anyhow? Last I checked, HSPL was only available up through the original Titan, not the Titan 2.

How to Create Custom Roms

Can Anybody help me to make custom roms, or provide a link to a guide of some sort I can't seem to find one.

I would be interested in this as well, but I don't think a post like this is the right way to go about getting the information you seek - but I could be wrong after all I am just a noob.
Have you searched in the forums here, specifically the developer forums? There are literally thousands/millions of threads and it is almost a certainty that what you're looking for is already out there. Alternatively, have you tried Google? I just typed "create android custom rom" into Google and it returned five XDA threads related to creating custom roms and a google code site regarding a tool for creating custom roms.
Knowledge is power my friend. :good:
There are definitely better ways to go about it than creating this thread. No offense, but lots of people have asked this in a community of 5 million plus enthusiasts.

[Q] Forum differences

Hi
I've just got a nexus 5 (had htc one xl before). What are the differences between the android and the original android forums in the nexus fiorums?
On the htc forums, original android was aokp, aosp, cyanogen based roms etc, with the android forums containing all the sense ones..
If the nexus is just vanilla android, why are there 2 forums?
Thanks

Seriously? This gets asked EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Why people seem to not know how to search is beyond me. Google + 3 seconds of my time led me to this- http://www.xda-developers.com/android/introducing-original-development-forums-for-more-devices/
I'm not trying to be a **** but you gotta try to help yourself first before you expect people to go out of their way to help you.
Was a simple question really.

New Phone Setup

I found out the other day that I am getting a Nexus 5 as a birthday gift next week and was just wondering what tips/recommendations the community has in terms of what to when I initially get it. I am familiar with android so I know what I need/want to do in terms of basic things like software updates and homescreen configuration but am curious if there are any tips out there that may be a bit more advanced that will help get the most out of the device. Please save yourself the time and don't mention anything regarding rooting or custom ROMs. I have decided not to root for the time being. Thanks

thats one question that he wont answer. we all have differing wants and needs when it comes to roms(and kernels). so its always recommended to try out a bunch of different roms, and stay with the one that fits your wants and needs. go through the android development and original development threads to check them out.

be sure to read the op(first post) of every rom thread. most will detail what is in that rom in the first post. and if you do run into issues, or have questions that you cant find answers to, please feel free to ask
