I think he was trying to develop his ability to take criticism so lets help him out...
Why is this post in developing? You aren't developing anything for our phones!

Wow thanks for being an understanding community. I posted it here because I thought the OP of the thread I saw awhile back would see it quicker in the dev thread.
Also, how do you know I'm not planning on developing something for the epic?
No wonder the epic community is mostly dead apart from a couple devs... so many ungreatful and unhelpful jerks.
Thanks to the first reply with the link!

That's the sad truth right now- and what most of the new members think. But try posting in the questions and answers Thread (stickied)- I usually have success in there. Or try the IRC (chat) channel (I think stickied) for quick answers.

K..that's not helping Once we (they) have the 2.2 source, I guarantee you'll be eating up the custom roms/kernels.. as will I. But for now, we're all anxious and pms-y.

Rules are rules bud. We're just trying to keep things organized

I understand rules fine... but I understand courtesy even better.
There was logic behind my reason for posting here that I hoped the community would understand... if a mod reads this just move the thread.

Keep in mind, I'm pretty sure that's based on 2.1. If on 2.2, my best advice is to not remove the drm apks. (It does caution about media issues, which it def causes on 2.2).

Yeah been there done that lol... I removed those from an EE 2.1 rom and then wondered why none of my music would play.

It's not that simple.
To become developer you need learn a lot.
Guides and tutorials in google is thousands and thousands....
Building roms is last thing what to learn..1st options try make some simply stuff.
Etc make icons or root your phone without bricking it. And try understand how and what is going on in your phone.
How stuff works, how apps working etc..a lot reading and painless tryng and a lot sleepless nights and a lot energy drinks.
Cheers

How Do I get ICS on My Mytouch 4g?

Well I Just rooted my mytouch 4g and i was wondering how do i get the best Ice cream sandwich install on my phone

There's only one rom and its the one in the dev section. Flash it and read before posting. Also, if you ask about the camera I may have to kill you.

I wouldn't recommend an ics rom yet unless you have no need for a camera our video camera. I don't believe flash is working right either. I may be wrong about that though. I would suggest unity, Cm7, our miui for rooms to try out until a solid release of ics is available.

I believe most of those who are now answering questions, actually could read and search and weren't lazy enough to skip those parts.
And "everyone is leaving this forum" is a bland, non-backed-up-by-anything, and most probably wrong assumption.

This forum is a resource, not a help line..you don't call up the folks at wikipedia and go "quick, i have a report due, tell me what happened in ww2!"
They did the research to help narrow your information search to a single forum, the last you can do is understand that unless you are developing new applications or roms or working on a brand new device that your question has already been asked and the onus is on you to actually read the encyclopedia and to write your own report..no one is going to write your report for you, especially not the editors of the encyclopedia..it is gracious that some of these questions even get replies, even if they are flaming you for asking without searching..imo fwiw

Yes, but not for the same questions to be posted and answered over aand over. Cluttering the forum. That's what the search functions is there for. For when you have already exhausted all your search resources and found nothing, then you ask for help.

At least SAY 'I've looked everywhere! Can you point me to an answer for...' Even if you haven't looked, at least pretend to know how to use a search bar..these things have been around for over a decade lmao you might get help for a dumb question and not get flamed if you at least lie and say you searched
Also, no one likes dumb people or dumb questions, it isn't a trait unique to developers on xda, even though I've encountered my share of smart asses, the fount of knowledge here far exceeds any petty squabble i might get into..if something like that makes you leave the site then it's more your loss than xda's, you are really only useful to the community if you can debug or develop, they are doing us a favor by letting us muggles into their world of fairy dust and unicorns lmao

Dev wanted

Okay, I have been around the forums and contributed to roms here and there. I am wanting to learn more development. The mods I have made have had there place but I want to build my own rom for both my own personal use, and to share with the community.
That being said, I have a lot to learn. I am looking for a dev who is willing to conspire on a little project I want to do. Help me learn the things I need to know to finish this project I have started. I will not attempt to take full credit for what comes of this. Proper credit will be given to those who assist. Especially being I am lacking a lot of knowledge.
If anyone is interested, please pm me. If not, I'm sure in due time I will figure it out. I would appreciate any help that anyone is willing to provide. Thank you to our great devs for keeping our devices alive for so long! I am hoping to contribute to the longevity of our devices as well!

I'd love to start learning, but seems every time I ask about where to start I get either ignored or told to use Google. Lol
I've got lots of windows knowledge, training, etc. But Linux is like a foreign language.
Where can I look to start playing other than a kitchen, that's not development.

Check out google aosp ans github and tge google android developers site. Read some of the guides on here. Start small...work on theming an apk...then modding apks...then system mods...then go to roms. If ur looking for apk dev tgen tgere are sites to help but a lot of that takes a ton of reading with trial and error

:what: lol thanks
I didn't think I was going to read a few paragraphs an be able to build a rom. I took 2 years of c++ and Java, I know how much a hassle coding can be.
So many times I'd click compile and it'd throw 3000+ errors from a comma placement.
At least I got a direction. Thanks papa! I love your mighty smurf! It kicks ass

Okay, so my main issue is porting a tweaks apk into my rom. I need someone who is willing to collaborate with me on this project. Someone who knows smali and can not only assist but educate. All credit will be shared for the assistance provided. Who's willing to go to work? Will resume working on this project tomorrow night.
