NS4G Dev Team Looking for ROM Devs

I'm working on a rom for NS4G that will feature a custom launcher, UI elements, apps, widgets, etc. We are looking for developers who would like to work on the project.
If you are interested or have questions, just send me an email at: [email protected]
Thanks!

I will help for kernels

I may be able to help.

I can do graphics.

Thanks for responding, I sent everyone a PM.

I just want to say thanks. The dev is really weak and dry for the Nexus S 4G. Mathkid and a few others have supported us well and I am thankful. ROM wise it's been super dry.

I appreciate the support UniqueNate. I agree, the dev support for the NS4G is kind of weak. Which is surprising since it's kind of a dev phone (in my opinion).
Keep looking out for us and the rom!

I can fully host your project (web, public/private git, irc, whatever else you want) for a reasonable monthly price.

Thanks! I don't think we'll need that at the moment but I'll keep you in mind.

i think that you should stop bumping this thread. that makes it spammy. instead of an open thread, a moderator will end up closing it. at least post something instead of writing "bump". anything.

If you need devs, and don't need hosting, what are you yourself doing?

@simms22 you might new right about that, I'll keep that I'm mind. Thanks
@Jonnythan we're building a custom rom. Other than that, I'm not sure what your question means.

We who? Does it take multiple devs to build a custom ROM? Are you doing coding work yourself?

I have a dev team now, we're just recruiting more devs. And the number of devs you need depends on how big the project is really. Some people do it alone, but you also have large teams like cyanogen mod team.

Directions please
Hey can someone direct me to where I can begin to learn how to port roms to NS4g?
Thanks

It's a Nexus S, pure vanilla. Apps are all over the market and here, the launcher is stock, it's up to marketers and developers in the market to create those and hand them over to be used, same goes for widgets. Not to be a basher, but most dev teams started with solo work finding interest in someone else's and and them stealing from eachother then co operating.
As Johnny was asking though, what work are you doing yourself, not your team, but you? We need a lure, and some hope, not be drawn into a Project where the man in charge is scooping everyones work into a pot to call his.
What part do you play in your team? What ideas do and future do you see for your rom. Do you see it as big as Cyanogen coming with nightlies, or is this a whole new game. I really can't see a custom rom built for Nexus besides ASOP, MIUI roms that we skin and theme ourselves, all we have to look forward to is ICe cream Sandwhich, and some useless ports of other launchers and possible Framework- which won't happen on this phone with a new Nexus coming out.
If you are for real, I am a very good artist, and designer and developer but have very little time to play around. LMK your role, and i'll keep it in mind and get back to you.

Forum dies

Hi.....
As you see,the forum for this phone going to die.....
I'm very sad cause i decide to buy this phone ,,,,i have also an lg p500 and at its forum is very good you can find anything you want,people are trying to help you with their replies,and so much people who developes roms ......
I buy u8800 pro and jumped at this forum and see that ,,,,no help, no developing,,no developers,,4 kinds of u8800 and i can't believe that we dont have developers working anymore......
Please ,european developers do something ,,,,,,genocolar leave us and i think that making roms only for china......now nobody developes anything.......
Can someone work for u8800 pro please????
I buy pro version cause its better and i saw that all the good work is for u8800 only.....now the developers abandoned us and owners of u8800 pro ask one each other to find a solution about their problems,but nothing anymore ......
I'm really really sad about the situation here....better not buying pro but the normal one,,i dont now
Sorry if i offended anyone and for my english,but i see no future here....

Yes, sadly I agree with you. I have a U8800-51 and no support what so ever. That is why I'm going to buy another phone that I know has alot of support. That being said... I can not blame the dev's for not wanting to work on this phone at all. It's not as easy as just changing and swapping a few lib files to make things work. It takes a lot of work... unpaid work and time out of there busy family life to sort through things and find solutions to the problems especially when as you even stated so many different U8800 and they are all different and to my knowledge no source code to work with. So when an unpaid dev doesn't find the fun in one project anymore they move on to something 'they' like. Yes it sucks for us but we are at the mercy of the devs. I thank them for trying and for doing what they have already accomplished. As the dev's are moving on... so am I.

Of course we thank them for their work and respect them....all i said is, that at this forum you can see that mess.....

Yes, huawei have made a bit of a mess with this phone by releasing a ton of different versions which makes dev work difficult, but it is still a good budget phone and very capable.
*Don't winge about it, do something about it. Help keep the wiki up to date so it is easy to find things. This can be done by anyone. Report messy or misplaced threads to original ganjaman, he is the admin for this forum, he can keep it in line. Also if Geno is only updating on chinese forums now, ask if you can update his progress here for him.
*Learn to develop. There are plenty of dev's who will offer help if you ask. I knew nothing about how android worked a few months ago, now I have made a custom kernel and rom for the u8150 and am looking at how things work on the u8800. It is not easy, but it is possible.
*Dont just look at this forum and assume nothing is happening because roms have not had an update in a week. If you follow the devs on google plus/ facebook/ twitter/etc, you will see there is a lot going on. Also one look on github confirms there is a lot of kernel dev stuff happening still especially around the .35 kernel.
*Give it time, it takes a long time to develop and port roms, it doesn't happen overnight.
*Thank your devs for their time and work. If they feel appreciated, they will continue work. If everyone just pisses and moans, they won't.

i have just read a similar post on androidworld.it
i have a LG P500 and a Huawei U8800PRO, i made 2 custom roms for the P500 (iridium and blackbird) and actually i am waiting for a few mb of u8800pro sources from genokolar. i hope he will upload them on his github so i will be able to start building an AOSP 2.3.7 rom for u8800pro
this forum won't die....the u8800pro has just been released in countries like Italy, and many people bought it. I hope that among those people there will be someone with enough skills to develop.

You should have bought samsung galaxy s or xperia neo v Calm Down

It would be great if someone could split the Development Forum by models! It's getting impossible to use the Development section because there's 4 models in the same place, it's just hard to find what we want! What's the problem of splitting that? Some mod said that he didn't have the permission to do that but if a mod don't, who does? :s
I just don't understand what's so hard about it, since it's every user's wish!

If i now that the pro model wouldn't have the supporting of the devs probably i wouldn't by it to!
I feel you gkalenis but now it's too late! A week ago i played with the idea to sell the pro and go for the galaxy s but finally i stay with the pro with or without the customs roms!
Tapawhat

I think brand new MIUI .35 port is awakening the development. Also I guess devs can port to all 8800s if they have sources...

i agree with users who say that this forum should be divided into categories (u8800pro and u8800) but if you need a forum where everything is simple and clear (only because it was created a month ago) go here (it is only about the u8800pro).
about developers: as i said i am waiting for geno's sources....if you will help me building gb 2.3.7 maybe we will have a good AOSP rom
PS: please do not compare this device with P500, LG O1 got an incredible support from devs like paolom70, andy572, franciscofranco, fserve, ciaox and many others who have done a precious work, better then LG's engineers.

For those asking about the forum split. This is a ongoing issue that keeps being raised. I agree with you, they should be split. I even asked about it in the mod forum. The response i got was that users of that forum require going through the correct channels. This evolves posting in the requests forum here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416406
I hope you have all read the read before posting sticky in the development thread. Because all of this info is in there.
Now, all vote for the split. I hope it happens, it will make my job a Lot easier.
I hope this helps
Your friendly moderator

To the OP, sorry, didn't mean to jump down your throat. I know it can be annoying to have a problem with a phone which nobody online can help solve.

At last we have a separate section for u8800 pro
Congratulations
That's good

Team Legacy

Now recruiting everyone, and i mean everyone from devs, themers, rom porters, testers, everyday users, everyone that loves their old phone and wants to see the development live on.
The only requirement is to work toward the common goal of seeing our old HTC devices live on.
Team Legacy: Greasing the Wheels for HTC Android Legacy Devices.
We may not have the newest, spankiest devices, but by god we just wont quit.
If anyone can think up a logo or a new motto, please do.
Between the eris, the hero, and the heroc, we are all in this together.

Great idea. At this stage there are so few developers working on legacy devices, with some devices having no active development at all.
It makes sense to have a 'pool' of Developers brought together; able to work on multiple devices.
Give people the option to donate a second-hand device to 'Team Legacy.' This could be done by either someone sending a device they no longer want, or starting a fund and having people donate what they can to buy a specific device for the team. That device could even be circulated among them by post if necessary.
Progress might take months instead of weeks, but at least we would have progress!
Motto idea: Development requires skill; not new hardware.

I'm in this! We should keep the old devices pumping!
Reviving old good roms, building on stock, sense, froyo, gb, ics, it doesn't matter, as long as we have something to flash - everyone is happy!
I will soon make a sense 2.0 rom (stock one, with lots of customizations and tweaks that hopefully will make the greatest sense rom stock ever) and I will need testers and/or developers/modders that want to give an idea or a mod to this project!

I'd love to be a part of this, and with my new CM9 rom, i think we have a stable and fast ICS rom for all legacy devices
And ill be sure to port over your paranoid android rom and add the tweaks from my CM9 rom to boost speed significantly!
So who's in team legacy so far?
Also i have an extra htc hero gsm if anyone would be willing to trade for a hero cdma or Eris?

In my opinion this idea needs to be cross-posted for all HTC Android Legacy Devices to get maximum attention and to attract contributors to the project.
It would be also great to see this stickied in the Development section for all those devices.

This would be great for all armv6 devices
We could use aroma installer in order to get one rom booting on several devices, this would mean we have more devs working on the same rom
I could create the aroma scripts with help from whoshotjr2006 regarding porting help.

jordfaz,
that was exactly what i was thinking of when i posted this lol. aroma is one hell of a tool, and if we could create 1 rom instead of 3, and just use aroma in order to make it work on all 3 devices, then that would be one heck of an ideal situation.
1ceb0x, jordfaz and lost101, welcome to Team Legacy!
benjamingwynn had posted .sense a while back, and while it didnt work on heroc, (not sure about hero) he had a great idea. one grand unifying rom that encompasses many devices, instead of 10 different roms for 10 different devices.
some early possible candidates for inclusion into Team Legacy are the G1, and the wildfire(buzz), and we already have eris, hero and heroc.
Also the way i see it is we already have many honorary members, such as the guys we ported from. Membership is just a matter of being a team player. Everyone that uses our devices in any way is a member already, we all just didnt know it until now lol.
As a policy, i would like to have open arms for any old devices, just so long as they have at least one guy to port/dev roms. that way since its hard for us to get other devices, everyone is represented in the process. Samsung, LG, Moto, they are all welcome.

It should work alright. We need a place to talk. Gtalk?

And has anyone created a logo for team legacy yet? I tried and failed :silly:

Im interested in joining Team Legacy. I have an HTC Hero GSM, im trying to port MIUI v4 on it, and later probably MIUI v3

welcome to team legacy! we are glad to have you. im cooking up something in the works that will hopefully help out the way roms are installed right now, and more details will come hopefully very soon.
any way you can contribute, we are glad to have you!

It would be cool to make a team legacy social group here on XDA, we had one on HTC Tattoo. So all devs can make a thread there on their alpha builds to be tested or ask for help off forums.

Ultimate Rom Requirement specification thread

Hello Guys,
This is my first post on XDA forum because I'm new here. I didn't post any threads till now because I didn't want to spam the forum with any unwanted thread or duplicate ones, but I have tried many Roms and I already knew some really cool and helpful guys like Jader, Mechmetal and Bestttt :fingers-crossed:
I used to work as a software engineer, but currently i'm working as a software quality control engineer.
and as I said earlier I have tried many Roms and I also have found lots of bugs and enhancements required.
I wanted to post comments but sadly I'm not allowed to because terms and conditions stated that I can't comment unless I post at least 10 threads :crying:
Anyway, I just wanted to suggest something,
I suggest organizing a thread for something like a requirement sheet for each Rom, speaking about myself I installed lots of roms but I removed it again because it has less customizations , or it doesn't have a built in application that I really want or it has another one I don't like (ex: toggles) while it had been a fast and stable one.
so why don't we find a way to collect the requirements of the users installing JB Roms, and ICS roms so the developers can put their effort in two really cool and helpful roms to have most of our needs:good:
It was just a suggestion
I'm have Xperia Arc [lt15i] with AOKP M1 - Fusion Kernel 3.9

Given how many ROMs there are, along with the fact that everyone's different this is a fruitless task, and why I learned to mod myself. You also can't expect Devs/Themers to cater for every last persons requirements.

Which are always good, but like I've said we're all different and what you may like in a ROM I might not so what you might call a "requirement" I might call a gimmick.
Also, you don't need to start 10 threads to post in Development, you just need to make 10, preferably helpful posts elsewhere.

I didn't start 10 threads to post in the Development section, I downloaded and tried most of the Roms in the development section,
The number of posts near my name are just replies
plus, my posts in the development sections are not requests , so I could still use it normally since I registered on XDA without the need to comment
Thanks anyway it was just an Idea that I thought about and I just wanted to share.

I have tested many JB Based Roms/ Kernels if you have created modded one where WiFi / WiFi Tethering is Stable and working I would be much obliged of having and Using it on my phone ... The best Rom / Kernel I have tried so far has been LuPus V4 Kernel with CAMPS Rom but unfortunately like all the rest WiFi Tethering has been insignificant and unusable Where as I have to constantly downgrade back to JellySandwich / Ark Knight Combo (ICS) Untill there's been a fix ... So There's are my 2 needs hope that helps with your conquest in making a Universal Rom

Hi,
I've had a HTC Incredible S and just got a Google Nexus 4. This phone looks awesome already. I was wondering, what's the difference between 'Android Dev' and 'Original Android Dev'?

Welcome to the Nexus 4 section, @Incredible2011.
I have a little request in the beginning. Kindly, take your future questions to Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Coming over to your query, here is the answer.
Android Development is a sub-section which comprises of ROMs/Kernels/Mods and tweaks which are not self-compiled or developed, or are usage of some other developer's work. It mostly contains Stock modified/tweaked ROM, Kernels and enormous minimal tweaks.
While, Original Development is a sub-section area where all the actual ROM/Kernel/Mod development goes. Everything that is worked out by the developer himself shall be posted there. You will find all the source compiled ROM/Kernels like CyanogenMod, ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, Franco's Kernel etc in this section.

Hi, I'm Memento and I am delighted to participate in this great community recognized internationally
Greetings from Spain :laugh:

Nexus 4 community is getting bigger each day

Its good there are so many new members, just wished people would read and search more themselves instead of asking/posting even the most basic things. Read the stickies and the OP`s of the kernel/rom you want to flash. None the less welcome you all

Thanks all for clearing that up and for the warm welcome. I hope to be helpful in any way I can and hope to learn from you all!
