Hi everyone,
I may will buy a S5 (SM-G900F) soon, and in this case I will root it and install a custom ROM.
But I don't understand how this forum works : what is the difference between android development, unified development and original android development ?
Thanks.
PS : I'm french, sorry if my english is bad.
android development is kinda general, basic rom stuff. Unified development is for all the versions of the phone as there are over 2 dozen different S5's and original development is for custom ROMs that are mainly AOSP based and or written by a specific dev from source code

I am looking for a Rom based on the 4.4.2 Kitkat stock ROM from Samsung and keeping TouchWiz but getting rid of all the bloatware/useless crap I don't want/need.
There was one here linked on the forum, based on 4.2.2 but it no longer supports S4 for the later versions.
Does anybody else have any good recomendations?
Obviously, needs to support i337.
Thanks!
XDA is a development site not a support site, members are expected to do their own research, read through the development threads, and decide what is BEST for them.
Please take the time to read through those development threads, learn all about the software there is for use, and interact with members in those threads as you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device.
A question for understanding forums selection:
For me is "Original Android Development" that the ROM based on Stock ROM from Device, for example : HTC M8 with Sense6 is stock and original and HTC without Sense6 like CM is Android Development
Is this right or give me please another explanation!?
Thx in advance
No, you have it reversed. Also kernels, recoveries and stuff tends to go into original. This should be mentioned in a sticky in one or both of these subforums.
The wording is bad, the distinction arbitrary, and all over it's a terrible idea.
This has been brought up a few times.
Original Android development can have both sense roms and non sense roms eg CM, recoveries and kernels. The difference is the OP of the ROM has had to have made a large contribution to make the rom, recovery or kernel different to anything else of its type. This means that there has to be a large number of features that are unique to that rom and not offered in other roms.
Also any builds that go into OAD forums should be official builds by official maintainers as well. All non official builds should be in AD forum.
This would apply to kernels recoveries etc as well.
Edit here is the link to the main page that says what can go in to OAD and what cant: Introducing Original Development Forums for More Devices

Please take a look at the FAQ for Omni ROM. It has a lot of suggestions about where to find or get support for your device...like:
Q: Will you support my device?
A: Just like with other projects, for a device to be supported requires that it have a maintainer. We're already short on maintainers and spread a bit thin, so your best bet is to go to your device's own forums here on XDA. Any device support requests posted in the general Omni forums will be reported to the moderators for moving to device-specific forums.
Thanks!
I have seen that there isn't a specific thread for the value edition s4 i9515. Devs are already working at a cm11 port
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/rom-cyanogenmod-11-i9515-t2974148
Is it possible to open a specific development thread for this recent version and give it more visibility?
hello. as most users have stock based modded roms, why don't separe the cyanogen? these roms confuse users with rare problems too...... i hope this solution because this is sometimes a problem
easiest, just to go cm homepage.
i don't need cm... the cm's rom invade the android development note 3, i ask why isn't there the separation
Most users don't use stock based roms many many use CM and without CM their would be a none to poor development scene .
One of the basics is if you don't understand then don't use modded firmware .
i asked for forum organization, and not for say that cm is better or not than stock based.... your answer is not pertinent to my question. goodbye

What? CM "invades" Android development? :laugh: You can guess who the first team was, to modify Android and present it as a custom ROM in the Android Development section. What's actually invading the Android Development section are all those "Stable, ROCK SOLID,® 100% Stable | BETTARY LAyF ◄◄©" TouchWiz ROM's! Those need a seperate section called "Stock ROM's with community bloatware instead of OEM bloatware claiming to break the barriers of physiks and being faster than light and breaking the first and second law of thermodynamics"... Not all of them of course. Exceptions are there.
Know where you are and why you are here!
