New Android ROM website, for newcomers(idea)

Ok guys, this is just a proposal/idea. I have an idea to make a website, that people can easily find their phone, and then it will display all the ROM's available for their device. As well as show them the ROM's it should also be able to display images that would help people that aren't technically experienced to install and enjoy the ROM's that we do everyday, with ease. The only problem ( and of course people are wondering, why tell us just DO IT) is i have limited X-HTML experience and Javascript experience. I would need the help of all the great developers here to promote their ROM (giving helpful information), and someone(s) to help develop the website. Basically i want to be able to easily find a ROM instead of searching through pages and pages trying to see if and problems persist, and easily state what their ROM is all about. This could really be a break-through website, that can take the awesome geeky-ness of XDA and transfer all the knowledge to help everyone. I really do love XDA, but sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the new terms and lingo. It would also help to de-clutter XDA, leaving developers noob question free. I know i probably sound crazy i know. but if anyone is interested in helping please PM me, it would be greatly appreciated. and it would be the start of something new for ROM's, mainstreaming if you will.
Cheers
...And if this is posted in the wrong place i do apologize in advanced.

Yes, really.

That would be good but of every developer could get their roms on rom manager that would help too but I would be really stoked of there was a website like that I would be on it faithfully and so would alot of other noobs

[Q] New to XDA & Android OS

hi everyone, im new to XDA & also new to Android OS. I need someone who knows what they are doing to help me understand XDA & how the rooting process works.
any experienced rooters out there looking for a student??

What device do you have/ what specifically do you want to know about rooting and or xda

Far as learning what XDA is all about, this thread is a good place to start.
Welcome to the XDA community! I'm still relatively new to the Android OS as well, and my knowledge expands greatly by the day here. Really, the best way to learn XDA is to explore it all and read a lot before posting!

XDA is the resource to goto, to find out how to do stuff. However, don't shy away from using Google to familiarize yourself with the jargon used in the Android mod community. It is invaluable to know what rooting, bootloader, recovery, fastboot and adb mean, before attempting to modify your phone/tablet to something better software wise.

I haven't been around too long but I've successfully flashed roms on 3 phones if you need anything pm me. And I've done a little bit more but not much. My most advanced knowledge is making the hello world app with java lol. Good luck to ya and welcome.

The device specific forums are the best place to get rooting info for your phone. You'll find guides and wiki therein.
You might want to watch this guide to learn more about XDA itself:

[Q] New to android development

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum.
I checked some other threads to make sure they don't have the exact criteria that i'm posting and
couldn't find anything, so to the mods, i'm sorry if this has already been discussed.
Please notify me and I will re-route to the correct thread.
I've had an htc aria(liberty, gratia) for the past two years and I rooted it and flashed cyanogenmod but that was the extent of my knowledge.
I've now switched carriers to Sprint and am running a MotoPhoton Q 4g Lte(rooted and custom recovery).
The reason for this post is I've noticed what seems to be a general lack of developers for this device (partially because the stock rom is very efficient), but I would like to start contributing.
I've got plenty of free time and would consider myself generally competent, and i've browsed the android developer's site for app building.
The question I present to the community (particularly developers) is how did you learn the system and get to where you are? What tools did you find easiest to use that also helped you learn the essentials? I would particularly like to develop roms and platforms, but would it be best to start with apps?
I hope my questions were clear and correctly placed, thanks in advance for any replies!
EDIT: this should be in Q&A

Moved. At least you realised where it should be so happy to help
Thanks

Google has a nice training center for sdk & dev, might be a good starting point.

[Q] Lookin for freelance App developer

Hi Everyone,
This is my first ever post, so please go easy on me! I am sorry if this is missed placed, if so please may you kindly direct me to the right place.
I have an idea for an app and was wondering if i could find someone interested in developing and bringing it to life. The main platform to start with would preferably be on android, then cross platform from there.
I have a few channels to market it once it is born and grow it with no problems.
I am willing to pay however the simple fact that i am searching in a forum instead of going direct to a company should say alot about my financial situation However the more it grows the more money we will make. (maybe a percentage agrrement on sales)
I will say it is a complex idea and will require an advanced developer.
I am looking for someone who loves what they do.
Please get in contact with me and we will go from there!

I was on the same boat & still thought xda-developer have a sub - forum where willing devz & those are in need have an specific terminal, dreaming for because it's xda !

Difference Between a 'Noobie' and a 'Newbie'

Hello everyone!
I usually see people refering new member as a 'noob'. They shout at new members like they should be gifted knowledge by God since their birth!
BUT, there's big difference between Noobs and New. I hope you'll understand my point of view.
Let me tell you difference as a definition:
●Noobies: These are those people who are either new or old to existing condition. But they never want to learn. They ask question like "I can't do this" instead of asking "How to do this?"
They are usually pain in the... and they are born to irritate developers. Because of them, thread gets some unnecessary posts. NO developer force any member to flash their ROM or Kernel. Developers love when people report bugs in their ROM but hey wait! There's two method of reporting (let's see two method by two examples):
1). Noobs: Useless ROM, doesn't support call recording feature.
Good members: Can you please add call recording feature in next build? Else ROM is perfect. Thank you.
2). Noobs: Why do you even make a ROM that doesn't support VoLTE? Please leave XDA. (!)
Good members: Hello, your ROM is so smooth. I have great experience so far. Just want to know if you can somehow add VoLTE in your next build. It's really a requirement in India. Thank you!
Till now, you can easily differentiate between Noobies and other members
●Newbies: These are totally new people who are new to existing condition but they always wants to gather information somehow. They always try first and search for info themselves rather than asking aimlessly.
Always remember, we were newbie too at first.
Differentiating is pretty hard here. But you've to make sure to NEVER act rudely with them. They are new, if they don't get support, they'll loose interest in Android and XDA.

Best you can do is that check their total post count on XDA.
Source: Wrote it myself
Simillar thread by me: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/hard-brick-soft-brick-terminology-t3598335

I must say you did a good job differentiating between noob and newbies:laugh:
It would be much better/easier to suggest all the noob user's to use XDA's search plus feature
