Hey guys am curious to how hard it is to start developing . I'm not in I.T industry but have a passion for technology . Would like to get into the development side. Is it possible to be self taught. I know my way around a computer reasonably well. Just wondering if its possible or in the too hard basket ?
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction ?
Thx

Learn basic java first, then C&C++.
you can find lots of resources on the net, especially from lynda and Dummy books.
btw if you want to develop things for android, it is suggested that you are fluent in linux
That sounds like it would take a few years to master. Wasting my time u reckon?

The whole android os is based on java so that would be a good start

I wanted to start that , but it seems like nobody other than s_off can do it , as for the internal memory has to be resized for the system to fit ...
this thread will house the ROM when it is finished

Indeed but we can strip and png crush
We could also attempt something like system2ext - for now we will probably use repartitioning zips as most of us devs are s-off.
Edit: it looks like using the SD for system is easy due to the way we can pretend it's part of the internal memory

I never really liked squashed roms.. but may have to pull the squasher out.
Hardware sounds strikingly similar.. anybody know of any other differentials other than [its] arm7 vs [our] arm6?

Just a different instruction set, no real problems, only really for game porting. Some libs will need to be changed.
The reason why it is hard to port games to armv6 is because v7 supports floating point calculation.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
It does support it better; although the armv6l does have a lil virtual floating point. Main thing is you'd probably have to rewrite shaders for gaming. Luckily, that's not where we're at
Built on ics I assume... 4.0.x; x=?
Nice.. jik..,mind.., I mean einstein.frat has a 3.0 kernel; that may come in handy.

I will look at build.prop now
My guess is 4.0.3

this is imposible port, its like porting symbian 3 to an X6. I'll just wait for an idogx port if this is possible, then I start modding as usual.

What are you on about mate?
Nice thread benj, also XDA newswriters said to me they will feature post the wildfire s about ics as soon as a sense 4 rom is available in some way, then I have to tell them. Then everyone will know about CM9 too.

We are only with four on this project. JMZ hasn't the time and benjamin hasn't got internet.
That's only me and simon remaining. I guess simon has his things to do also.
Therefore I'm asking help, you just need a github account and a WFS of course.

If you're really desperate for space then alarms, notifications and ringtones can be stored on the sd card under /sdcard/Media/ in their respective folder.

uhh.. simon's computer went capoot, and I said I'd throw some time at it already... maybe that was Jmz's announcement thread.
wierd.. the suggestions I made on github today got erased... perhaps I have better things to do with my time as well. This thread is getting a little crazy anyway; don't want to add to any fray.

"Coming soon" threads are not allowed. I think the posts in this thread show why.
One member has been banned permanently. others will receive infractions or bans once I start going through the thread now.
@OP please start a new thread once you have something available for download.
EDIT: another permanent ban and one 7 day ban handed out. Stop with the flaming and trolling.
IF ONLY:If only our device had a 800 mhz cpu i would never ever change it..
IF ONLY...people knew how great WFS community is:i spent a few days roaming around ONE V Forums,and let me tell you...there is absolute madness overthere...people reporting each others for nothing to mods(RECTAL ALPINISM i call it),and few mods acting like dictators(overcompesating for something i guess)....terrible for now
I PLAN TO KEEEP COMING HERE AS LONG AS I EXIST ON XDA and ill keep posting here in WFS forums as i have no wish to post elsewhere for now...hope that is going to change soon.

I know,i LOVE WFS,but it can be pain in the ass,especialy during the summer...it gets overheated and HOT,HOT,HOT...and then some kind of sclerosis hits him,and becomes slooooooow,unresponsive while multitasking(in my case voice over net,mails,pics etc...at the same time)..i dont play games on it,i mean..i dont even play f..n tetris or angry birds..nothing..i just need to type,send pics,doing my mails and stuff while im on the call over wifi.And sadly it does not deliver what i want.
Oh...as for me..SENSE 2.1 is still prettier then 4.0...and HTC made hacking and modding,flashing this a real pain in the butt experience(noobs beware).
You have to flash boot.img separetly with each rom...so without PC in your hand your stuck with stock.There are few tools that is making it easier,but i dont like having third party .bat files on my PC...so ADB.
And Bla,bla,bla,bla,bla...sorry i get carried away sometimes while typing.
thanks for good wishes m8
Cheers!!!
totaly agree i miss my WFS atrix 2 forums are horrible and unorganized
My name is on the list yayyyy
One V is a great phone. Hope the community gets better. Its sad to see a great phone with a bad community. Its great to see an OK phone with the best community one can have *cough* wildfire s *cough*.
Again, thanks for the name on the list.

Whoop! I'm on the list
It is a shame like ^ said that the community is bad for a pretty decent phone like that. I would hate to have a nexus though. Being a developer there would be hell, everybody would be kanging eachothers work, all the good ports would be taken by propropro devs and nobody would be able to handle the amount of noobs there.
In theory anyways.
Anyway thanks for the list thing. If you can't answer a PM then forward it to me and I'll help. If you have your own problems feel free to ask too.

Hi, just wondering what kind of experience or knowledge you might need to develop roms or apps for android. And is it all done in java? I've done a couple of java prog units through RMIT. What level of programming would developing for android require?
Thanks in advance.

I wanna learn about this two. I did a few tweaks on cydia for iPhone BB Repo but I switched to android now. The android kitchen don't work for our phone. What else can I/we use to sign a custom rom?

No one (not me) meant you are forcing them, it's just that in these period our devs are doing their bests and they are having lots of problems. And Ubuntu looks hard to port :sly:

Ubuntu did say it should run on any phone with a 1ghz+ (stock speed) processor. So in theory it should but it's all up to the developers. we get the roms that they would want on their devices and that's exactly the way it should be.

Also because they aren't paid, they could keep the roms for themselves but they share with us to make us a favor :thumbup:

Hey every body calm down first yes Ubuntu is and will be difficult i would like to see it but it is far past my knowledge and as far as i know it may not be possible for u who didn't read up on it yes 1± processor is a requirement but they also say dual and no device under our ram will be able to soppurt Ubuntu so if it is possible I'm sure it will come. So until then cut people some slack and as ur momma's should of told u if u don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all

no, they said the ubuntu phone version that could also be used as a full desktop when mounted on the docking station which is connected to a tv/monitor. for only the phone os part you dont need dual core.
