Hi everyone!
I'm new to Android, and just got the basics yesterday about CWM with vil as my mentor yesterday. As I have quite some time on my hands, I would like to spend some on learning how to program, and in the future become a dev for this phone. Can somebody lend me a hand?
Thanks!

By the way, does the Cyanomod for GSII work on our devices? I doubt it with the Tegra but idk.

So, I have been with Android since the G1 and then switched to the OG Droid on Verizon. Ever since the beginning I have been rooting and rom'ing my phones and loving every minute of it. I recently switched to Sprint because I absolutely loved the 4.5" SGS II and I'm in love with this phone. The exynos processor is insane, and should keep this phone near the top of the pile for a long time to come. Okay, enough ranting. My question is, does anybody have a single link or maybe a couple of links that I should go to if I was interested in starting to create my OWN rom for my phone? I am completely clueless about where to start and what to download, etc. and I know there are a ton of awesome devs in our community so I was hoping somebody would be able to give me a sort of headstart by showing me a site where somebody may have compiled all of the tools you need to get started. I appreciate any help in advance. Thanks guys.

Ok, so I was one of the lucky few with a gen2 device that was not getting the ICS update. I tried to scan for the update probably 50 times yesterday with no luck. After seeing that others where having the same problem I got frustrated, I flashed the update Zeronull posted in the developers forums. Worked great.
My question is now what exactly is to be gained from the whole process of rooting/unlocking/loading CM9, and some custom roms. I am not new to hacking hardware/software, but I am fairly new to android so I don't really understand what I am gaining from the gamble.
My tab is mainly a family device so there is some added risk with my 4 year old, and wife having root access to my tab. Not sure that is a great idea or not. So once I decide if I want/need CM9 how secure is it from the rest of the family bricking it after the fact?
The only thing in the developers side that really catches my eye is cossix swap mod. I am surprised no one has rolled that into a rom yet. Anyways, if that is all I am really looking to gain is the CM9 path worth it for me?
Basically after re-reading this I am just fairly clueless about CM9. Can anyone with some experience clue a brother in? What is it exactly that I am missing?
Thanks,
I hate to bump my on post, but I was hoping to get a few opinions on this before I let it die.
First of all, I want to apologize to all the dedicated devs who invested their time keeping our amazing device alive for all these months. As many of you guys know, our beloved smartphone is on the verge of its 2 years b-day. Since Sir Arco decided to move on, I wanted to start this thread to prospect the community opinions regarding a question: When should we do the same?
I also noticed that, besides Sir Arco, some of our most distinguished are starting to begin parallel projects for other devices and/or other things, and are no longer keeping up. Please, it's not about ETAs, far from that. I'm an app dev too. It just seems that their attention are elsewhere. Altough it's comprehensible (2 years is a long run for any piece of hardware, afterall), I just can't help but wonder (unintentional, xD) if we finally reached our limit.
Please, guys. These are just thoughts. I'm not trying to start a flame here. But, are we now really a legacy device?
Peace.
No and yes. We've shown we can live without arco68 by porting lots and lots of ROMs (Android 4.3 based ROMs, for example) and kernels, but we're coming to an end, mainly because the dated hardware can't keep up with new developments.
For the next few months, I'll keep using my W on CM10.2 as a daily driver, but when I have enough money I'll definitely switch to a more modern device, preferably the next Nexus phone
Its not dead... yet. But we can all see the future...
However, if we try, we can delay the inevitable. It will help others, and make our device still "somewhat" up to date.
App developer? Try to make an app that will help the Galaxy W. I have moved to a Motorola Atrix 4G, so I noticed this.
Try something like that? The point is, instead of being remorseful about the upcoming inevitable, try to pitch in.
I (don't bother to do anything in the Motorola Atrix section as I have no idea of half of what they are doing) pitch in here and there in this section, but I'm not as helpful as arsradu or LeroViten.
In conclusion, the Galaxy W is a phone that will remain in my heart, thus I am trying my best not to let it die.
You should do the same.
It has been three and a half years since i bought my GIO on 28th September 2011.
Boy o boy was i crazy about the whole new android and smartphone era. Updates came, a "FEW" official and "MANY" Unofficial from the lovers of this great phone. Just as i type here, i feel like this is going to be my last post here. Almost everyone here has moved on to other phones and this group suddenly feels lonely.
I will never forget those memories where i bricked my phone and learned to fix it, rooting, usingscripts, flashing new ROMs (The best part). All this has to end sometime. I don't plan to thorugh away my GIO. NO WAY. This baby is going to be with me forever.
Lastly, thank you guys who were there to support each other whenever anyone required any kind of help whatsoever. And off course, a big thanks to the developers who gave all of us new hopes to keep this little great phone of ours, alive.
Thank you.:victory:

Gio is amazing phone! My brother bought Gio back in 2011 and I bought Galaxy Y (s5360). Both of us have moved to new phones some time ago but I still turn on Gio and Y (my brother gave Gio to me) and play little bit with them. Gio totally rocks with Final CM11 and MA kernel. I did also learn rooting, flashing, bricking and unbricking with Y and Gio. They have give me alot! Great devices, great community. Memories totally last for ever .
Ps. Waiting for CM12
Cheers mate. Thank u for this.

I miss my gio, it was superior at the time. The size, the ergonomics, the ability you had on customizations... It was something else.
Good morning all,
There are plenty of threads about ubuntu on nexus 5, but I haven't seen any about it on the nexus 5X, is anyone working on it? Is it easily portable ? I would really enjoy trying it out but I cannot gather any useful info on it...
Cheers

Have fun building it, lol. Canonical isnt going to build any official images for any phone since they have OEMs selling phones with it preinstalled.

Well, a port for the one plus one was just done, one for the one plus x in on the go and one for the fairphone was release some days ago too... So it seems possible. I do not have time right now to learn how to build a rom but the process interests me, i'll take a look at you link, waiting to have more free time (hopefully in September).
Nonetheless this does not answer my question; are people here working on it ?
