Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that contributes to these boards and develops ROMS. The work that you all contribute were the deciding factor in my choosing to buy an Android phone. You offer a wealth of options, customization and optimization not seen on Windows[except for XDA contributions ], Apple or RIM.
Yeah I know nothing new is being contributed by this post but I still wanted to say thanks to every person thats made my experience with Android better. And now I am finally getting around to rooting my EVO
-CR
P.S. I wanted to post this to "Android Development and Hacking>Android Software and Hacking General" so I could thank everyone thats contributed but I didn't want it to be misconstrued as being mis-posted.
Very well put. I would second this as well. I was familiar with windows mobile, but somewhat lost with Android. Without you guys/girls doing what you do, the masses would be extremely lost. Again, thanks.
well put indeed im only learning but XDA has some very talented people here
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I was wondering if anyone else who is computer illiterate like me is very interested in learning how to create kernels, roms, themes... and anything else under the sun that deals with android software.
Anyone else interested in becoming a dev like those helping us out with froyo and whatnot?
I'm on Google now... I guess I'm looking for help on where to start. Like from square one... any nice guides you brainiacs could show us noobs?
I wouldn't mind teaching myself from the ground up just by reading internet guides - I enjoy both reading and learning.... I could see myself developing stuff for our community as a fun hobby.
If you would like to help me, think of me as an old man who's never owned a cell phone or a computer till now. That's how far back I'd need to go to learn, I have no experience in computer programming at all.
Since I got my fascinate and stumbled across xda, I've just been, well... fascinated with android and the mechanics behind it all. And the great devs that make this possible for our nice little community here!
So... you other noobs and pros out there wanna help each other out by sharing guides and experiences?

Hello forum i thought i would let you guys know that im moving forward to the Nexus 7. If your getting one im sure i will be making roms for this tablet to, so not to worry. If not i will continue to help develop my rom, and continue helping to update it.
For now im planning on leaving my thread and letting powerpoint45 take over. He's a really talented person that know alot about these things, im leaving you guys with someone i trust, to continue to push forward updates and many more features for you guys. Me and him have been talking for a long, i think i have enough confidence in order for him to continue with my rom.
If you are worrying about my app Glazed Mods, i personally will be continuing to support it, i will have some testers in order for me to continue pushing forward new mods and cool tweaks.
It was really nice being here in this forum, but we all have to move on someday. And that time has come for me to move on, thanks guys, you all have been such great support and a big thanks to my donaters, who kindly helped me in having future development.
You probably won't notice a big difference with me gone, since the rom will continue living and the app to. You can expect everything to be moved to powerpoint45 new thread on my rom by friday, i got to give him all the nescessary tools and items in order for him to continue making this rom a possibility.
A big Thank You From Me, And a Big Goodbye to.

Hello world, full of Developers!
I'm a student and I use Grand2 & OnePlus2 phones.
I have very deep interest mobile phones/computers but I never get a chance to learn things about it.
I love tweaking/customizing phone/pc. But i never understands how it works inside.
I have very deep interest of learning these things. I am not interested in making because I want it so that I can help other people/friends and many developers who put their efforts hard and rock to give us best features.
I tried everywhere but found no help except like go read this/that etc etc.
All the time people just reacted "visit this, read this, watch this", but nobody supports me in full.
See, reading a book about it or watching a video won't help to learn the core things. It is necessary to read but practical knowledge/assistant is way more important, otherwise we don't have to go to sit in class and listen to lectures.
I watched/read many tutorial but I have now more confusions/questions than the answer itself, like 1000000:1 in ratio.
I know its hard to help the kind of help I am asking today. But helping someone is not that hard if you 'will' is very hard, because I have also helped unknown people with my full potential being knowing that it will take a lot and strong effort out of me. But I helped. and I believe people also help.
So, I am writing these stuffs here because I need a Friend, a teacher, a helper, a guide, someone who can help me understand these things so that I can one day give a strong/big feedback to my fellow friends/users/members/people around me.
I am Just a student. I don't wanna make money out of it, because its my passion, not my livelihood.
Because I wanna help people who love techs. I wanna be someone who can fulfills other members needs.
I just wanna help, but before that I NEED HELP.
I know this also that after writing this long, I may not find a single help, but nothing can stop me by doing this because what I see is a light of hope in darkness. So, I am on my way.
I am hereby, requesting out of curiosity and courtesy to help me by every means to learn these things.
Some friends may make a fun of me by reading this long shot but I feel sorry for them and really I am in desperate need.
So, If anyone is interested in supporting me happily, please let me know.
I use TELEGRAM app for quick-chat. So we can talk there.
Help me friends and let me help back!
Thanks.

Oh i see. We are kinda on the same page. I have a Grand 2 too and i am also slowly learning about rom developement.
Okay so i'll tell you basic thing about roms first. There are 2 ways to have a custom rom for your device. Source building and porting.
Source building is as the title says making a rom from source.
And port is like using the rom made for a similar cpu family device and editing it to run on yours.
Now both of them go a long way to learn. I can understand your situation as i am in the same myself. Just PM me i'll tell you everything in detail
