Go to the forum home page and click on android development. Look at the stickies. They will help you get started.

There are many tutorials within these forums that explain what I believe your are trying to do. Posting a question in this sub-forum is kind of rude. I would suggest doing lots of searching and reading. When you have a general idea of what you are doing, asking intelligent questions to a developer you like and learning from them.

Not rude just slightly inexperienced, but that's fine, at least this is relatively developement related. Alot better then some questions that get asked here.

Moved to Q&A.

Making a ROM and making an app are two totally different things. First you need to decide what you actually want to accomplish. Then read up as much as you can and ask more specific questions.

You are right about "better than some", but I have looked into developing and it is very intricate process. I would do more if I wasn't in school at night and with my very young son during the days. Just asking someone to outline the process in a forum seems crazy. How hard is it to research the subject before asking detailed questions?

New to the T999 community!

Hello guys! My name's Jose and I came over from the galaxy s 4g forums. I finally decided that I needed something better
So, I was wondering if yall could give me some of your opinions on some ROMs to check out? I Havent rooted this bad boy yet but ill read up on that later. Thanks guys and I hope I can bring some help to this awesome phone's community!

Agreed, there are at least 4 threads on this matter and all you have to look at is the amount of support (change log) and look to see what you like after 2 hours max of reading you will find what vest suits you. At least do some research (state the rom and the features you want, need, and questions you have about each rom) and then you'll get some responses that aren't derived from frustration at laziness.

Sorry about that mate. If a mod could please close the thread.

Or after reading you can just post any further questions here as it may be helpful toward the community. I'll probably see it updated and I'll give you personal feedback. I've flashed them all and tested for at least two days even took notes down at one point lol.

Bravia engine, what is it?

I've seen multiple references to it as well as downloads, can someone explain what exactly it's designed to do or if it's worth having? Thanks

Even though we all know we can do a google search, we still get those people that like to waste time just to be funny....what a shame. Some people are able to provide better info just from having a first hand experience than what a google search might pull up.
Sorry dude that I am of no help, but I just wanted to say it sucks to not get an answer in a QUESTION & ANSWER forum.

It appears we ported some less than helpful folks from other areas.
The engine appears to make images crisper and add some clarity. Welcome to the forums and continue to ask good questions!

Thank you very much for the useful info. Us noobs need our hands held sometimes and we need people like you. I hit your thanks button

thanks! yeah i was really looking for why it was used in the jedi rom and i saw people had asked in that thread and didnt see any answers, so i figured a new thread might get me somewhere. Unfortunately we'll always have dbags on the internet!

That was not intended to be funny or rude. Had the question been "is there a noticeable impact on performance one way or the other, and does gpu rendering do anything to help", that would have been a great question. A simple "what is", especially when one manages to find XDA, without having done some simple research that would have easily answered the question is something that will catch you flack on almost any forum.
I apologize if you found it rude, as it was assuredly less intended than some of the other responses.
Check out how many threads have topics as "wtf" or "help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". It helps everyone in the end if people ask better questions.

Don't crap on new people's questions.

Hello,
I'm not famous on long words.
And I like to keep it short this time.
Please don't crap in questions that new or even long stayers ask.
It stumps there freedom of asking questions here on XDA.
There are xda rules, but it should not be your reason to piss or crap on the question.
There are good ways to tell mods what is going on.
I think question are always repeated and the askers know it sometimes, and will love XDA more if they get a answer that doesn't sound like a grandmother telling the rulles.
I can be wrong....... But xda is build also by new people.

People won't be "crapped on" if they do some elementary research, ask nicely, and read the rules.
I had to ask a very basic question on here, myself - but I explained what I had done to try to find the answer myself and such.
If the question is just something I could Google without knowing anything about the topic, I think it's reasonable to expect people to do that much themselves. This is a development-focused forum after all.
And since this is a development-focused forum, people who ask for copyrighted material for free are "crapping on" the people here who need to feed the or families from their work. :/

You must be trolling or a hypocrite. You can't just be all "be nice and respectful to all even if they're stupid" and then turn around and be an asshole just because it suits you.
Practice what you preach and say it on the forums, not through weird PMs.

Questions ?
I really am new at this and only got interested when I purchased my Gnex on release date from Verizion. I've always been semi tech savy and wanted to learn as much as possible about Android phones. I consider mysef a search engine and will hunt until I find the answer on the internet. I have read MANY fourms on this subject looking for the answers I need and 99.9% of the time have found the answer. The problem I see with many fourms is after the first 3 maybe 4 responses to someones question it starts to go WAY off what the question was about. There have been a few times Before my search starts I've thought maybe I should post the question but I do realize that many here and on other Android sites are way way smarter than I am and probably don't want to see another noob question. Noobs are here and I guess always will be and I'm proud to have learned as much as I have from sites like yours.
This isn't the easiest stuff to pick up. You all just keep posting and I'll keep learning. Thanks Guys
BTW Thanks to Wugfresh my Gnex was a breeze. My first Android phone the orginal Dinc took me into a world I never thought I could enter. HTC unlocked, rooted and ICS. Who'd have thought ICS on a Dinc? I love it!

Different Rom sections

What is the big difference between the roms contained in these 2 sections? Sorry for being a noob i just dont understand why there are 2 sections. Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development and the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Development

The roms in the original development section are built from source.
More aosp (less touchwiz).

If im not mistaken I believe you being nonconstructive and this type of behavior is cancerous to forums.
Thanks Android_Monsters for the quick response.

No, I am just kindly stating if you had taken 5 minutes to read through prior posts instead of cluttering the forum with duplicate questions you would have seen the same member who answered your post had answered this question for someone already

I agree. You can usually find your answer a lot quicker on Google than posting a duplicate thread and hoping someone replies. You also avoid people like abcdefg pointing out the obvious.
Learn to use search. You will be glad you did trust me

Ooooooorr, you could have read the big ass sticky in each section to see what the differences were

Or you could just not complain, stop worrying about board clutter, and give an answer to someone who feels the necessity to ask questions that have been asked so many times it makes people want to gouge their eyeballs out with a soldering iron every time they see them. /sarcasm

People get so butt hurt when you call them out for not even trying to search... Apparently, those of us who would like to have fewer garbage topics asking the same thing are the moderators pets or something.. Eflip88 might remember that from a few days ago
No, the reason people get annoyed about a thousand different threads on the same topic couldn't be because it just makes it that much harder for people who actually WANT to do the legwork and use the search bar.. That couldn't be it...
