Android 2.0

A bit off topic, but I am sure this crowd would like to know the latest on 2.0 news.
Looks like there is a basic port of Android 2.0, on the G1, out there.
Looks promising, for the G1. Once again Cyanogen needs the source code to be released first, before he can begin the porting.
Please don't comment, I don't want to clog up this posting.

Porting miui/lewa status and hopes toward our dev

Hi Bro & Sis,
Frankly speaking,Im bit confused about MIUI & LEWA OS porting status for our x8 ether its agains of XDA Rules or not.As me understand its like this:
-Porting isnt wrong if somebody do it from own rom resource(based own rom).
-Any tutorial & other source is open to anybody to used it as long as proper credit given.
So,me didnt see any wrong of it and me also wondering are there any of our DEV who has a own rom willing to do it if its legal.
Yes,we have many roms(MIUI & LEWA) out there but its based on somebody else rom which is not promising for development(bug fixing,better performance etc) because as I know beside its remain ori bugs its also bring new bugs & little lag of performance.
If anybody has diff point of view please share it to help me be more clear about regarding issue.
THANKS
Please read here for your reference.
Second, Mod roms will now be placed in the X8 Themes & Apps forum The threads will contain in the OP all the relevant permissions/credits along with links to the original rom thread and provided as a cwm update zip. This decision has been made after consultation with RD's/Developers/Senior members and this is there wishes so respect them

Actually the reason why colossus keep on closing such thread in development its because of the failure to comply this rules. I dont see any hard part in following that rule. Let me simplify.
Now you want to mod or port ROM? Here are some checklist.
1. If you will be using a based ROM. Please make sure you have proper permission from the base ROM developer. THIS IS A MUST.
Now you have permission eh?
So you can start modding/porting the ROM.
What if I didnt get permission?
Dont worry you can still mod/port that ROM but please do not share it here. In short it applies only for personal use.
2. If you already done porting then create a thread in X8 Themes & Apps. If your rom becomes popular and you apply your own fix etc. Then please contact the MOD so that the ROM will be moved to Development Section. (Ofcourse it will still undergo screening if that would fit on the Dev Section.
Now guys what is the hard part understanding those Rules implied?
back to bed zZZzzhh
Deedii,
By your statement,me understand this;
Porting rules is a same as modding/theming rules(must be place in x8 theme sec.)
As I know,this rules is for someone who modding/theming based on others rom because ori Dev usually not modding/theming their own rom & open a new thread.
If they did or add/remove something,we can call it a next updates.
Its make sense if someone porting based on others but how about porting based on own roms?
For example;How about if nAa porting MIUI based on his MiniCM?
Should its must place in theme sec too?
BTW,its help me clear a bit thats porting based on somebody else rom is NOT agains XDA rules if you put in theme sec. with a permission & proper credit.thanks
p/s:sorry if disturb u,its 8.00am in my place when I make this thread
i thinks the miui and lewa os remove because some warez or legal issue.
i agree that we can post rom with permission. but i think that miui os and lewa os is consider as theme bercause based from cm 7.1 or 7.2 etc. lasttime i saw ppl post that lewa os is theme ginger dx , meybe they need get permission.
p/s: something i no understands. for example , if some 1 take minicm7 with permission then add tweak like gps tweaks,bravia, other rom lib etc from other people is consider development??? nowday dev is like zoo many cm 7.1, 7.2
For example;How about if nAa porting MIUI based on his MiniCM?

Ofcourse it will be considered as development. If you based it with your own ROM then there is no issue since its yours. What are you confused about?

As stated no its not. Instead of posting the whole rom you can actually make a flashable zip on that tweak that you want to put.

[Q] Help with ROM development

Hey guys,
I want to start making ROMs for the NC, but I don't really know where to start. How would I make the ROM work with the Nook, and how would I then fix all the bugs, etc? If any of the Nookie devs could respond with where (or how) they learned to make ROMs, that would be great. I really want to start becoming part of the development community, and learning about how Android works.

You can check over my thread down in cyanogenMod on how to get started on building your own KANG ROM project for your nook color. I added lots of information in that thread and all of the tools you need to get started. I also go over on how to debug your builds somewhat, I need to update that thread.
Make sure you have tons of time and commitment before you get started, I also have a few reference books in that thread also you will need to read on how linux kernels work.
We are trying to keep a lid on wildcat KANG builders for the nook color at the moment with those wanting to publish KANG JB builds, as others posting KANG builds without further work in debugging those builds leads to sloppy builds for everyone, so when you are ready check with the top developers with the nook color up in IRC at #nookcolor at freenode.net. Lots of new developers lack the skills and knowledge to debug their builds, yet can get a build up and running on their device.
Anyway here is the link I started for new developers interested in building android builds for the nook color and other android devices. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/50994-follow-along-with-me-trying-to-learn-how-to-code/
anybody else???

[Q] Any Dev's/Testers/Themers etc (NEW ROM TEAM)

Hi All,
I've been working on a Nexus ROM and would really like to get a few team mates to help me really push the ROM and get it to a stage which is viable for public release.
I'm looking for a team as follows:
Devs:
Could do with a joint lead dev to work alongside me.
Perhaps a dev or two working on things such as Aroma/scripts/Build.prop etc.
Themer:
Only really need one themer
Perhaps a GFX designer?
Testers:
Need one LEAD tester, which will get the test ROM FIRST!!!!
Maybe a second tester to make sure?
Anybody interested in joining my team and creating another wonderful ROM?
Thanks all,
Wilks3y.
