My brother is great with phones, and has created several ROMs for the Sensation, and Nexus S, but has not released them on XDA.
What does it take for a job with XDA, and about how much does it pay? He's in college right now too.
Im just curious

lol...doing "work" on xda isn't a job. The people here create and release their work because this is a community all about sharing and learning. No one is "paid" anything, though some members like to donate a few $ to ROM developers if they like their work.
Anyone can sign up and release their ROMs or apps on xda as long as they stick to the forum rules

i miss cm7 so much!
fixed the broken link
Cm7 won't be hard at all after kernel source and root. We need the kernel source first. Also a port won't work, you will have to port it everytime with new releases. We will need cm compiled from source and then submit it so it gets the nightlies. I can do the porting just fine for you guys but it won't be stable or supported. Good things comes to those who wait man

So theres this developer name Dsexton702 mostly working at the SGS4G forum at the moment and he was one of the first devs in tjat communitee... Since then hes made ICBINB roms that are so smooth and responsive and is amazing at tweaking and scripting files. And that adrenaline shot people flashed was by him! So what i was thinking is trying to get a SGS II for him as a early christmas present. If you guys agree i will love to set up a thread and make fund for him. If you want to see his work go to the Galaxy S 4G forum and youll see he did great things for their communitee and i was pleased with my old SGS4G mostly because of him! So if anyones interest please let me know!
P.S. Hes amazing at making tweaks and his status is now Recognizable Dev not Senoir Member! That shows how much he helps out to our phones!

Its not bribing. Its called something support! He actually does something for other communities and maybe he doesnt have the amount of money needed for his phone? Maybe hes in college and if youve been to college finance is a problem!

I am very aware of what both of us said. Are you aware that this isn't the first post about donating money towards a dev for a phone? Whatever happen to the old days when a dev would just buy a phone and dev for the fun of dev'in? I'm not saying that some devs don't deserve us donating every once in a while, but lets not make BAD-AP (buying a dev a phone) the new standard. To those who feel like donating more power to you.

as a long time evo4g user I'm just not used to this buying a dev a phone thing. People bought the e4g because. I donated to devs before but only to those devs who already donated their free time to make something innovating for my phone. Make something unique for my current phone and I'll throw you a few bucks then.
If you used this guys roms, enjoyed them, feel free to throw him some money. But thats as far as I would personally go but I live in America whee people are free to do stuff I don't approve of or annoys me
What would that dev bring to the device that would interest users to donate?

All devs would bring something unique/different to the table, but I personally don't agree with purchasing a phone for a dev. If anyone chooses to do so then great for them. I am not discouraging people to not support their favorite dev.

A dev can personally make their own tweaks (adrenaline shot) and make our phones ten times faster and more responsive! Or make roms that are customized and such even ask whitehawkx how well dsexton can do for our communitee!

This "donate" to dev thingy for a new device are getting outa hand. Stop living in the past. If the Dev was so good as you recalling, you wouldn't bought this phone. There is alot of devs for this device and having more will just cause as many roms from the same base and poeple will get bored.
So now we got a dev that makes kernel, another one that makes roms, one that makes themes and another ones that kangs everything. If there is a dev out there that can put windows phone 7 or ios on my phone, I will definitely donate to him/her.

Hello world.
Remember how those simple lines of code changed the world as we know it? Well I am proposing a new "hello world" to our lovely Galaxy Nexus community.
Introducing...
Fruits & Veggies (FNV)
A JellyBean Community ROM for the Galaxy Nexus
I came up with this idea a while back and JellyBean is a perfect platform to implement it on, with the drop of a whole new operating system and the lovely new features that come with it I figured it was time to give this a try. This will be a community based ROM, there will be no "team" and there is no official "leader", I will be the voice/face of the project but the ROM will belong to the community. I will be setting up a gerrit and picking a few choice admins to monitor what code gets merged but we will accept contributions from anyone, no matter how large or small, and every contributor will be credited for their work. If you are interested in this project please post here and let me know your thoughts/ideas on it.
Thanks,
remicks

Can you elaborate more? I mean, how does this differ from an already established community ROM like CM? Don't they take submissions from anyone? And you say no "team" or "leader" but isn't there? Your admins who can approve changes would be the team and since you pick who can approve things you'd be the leader.
Also, is this a vegetarian ROM? I'm all for fruits and veggies too but where's the meat? I can't flash a ROM without bacon.

Sorry, I elaborated a bit more on this topic at RootzWiki where I made the OP originally. This is just a chance for people who may feel intimidated by the large scale size of CM and/or AOKP etc. and would still like to contribute to a ROM.
The "team" is the community, there will be gerrit admins but we are just there to make sure the code doesn't break anything before it gets merged. Also, I don't like the term "leader", think of me as the "Project Coordinator".
There will be plenty of bacon in the rom, no worries there. The name itself is a play on the fact that Google gave us so many sweets that it's nice to have something healthy every once in a while
Hope that cleared up things a bit for ya

A week or so ago a user named geekcentercreations posted a CM 10.2 build but uploaded the wrong one. Has anyone heard from him on whether or not it is actually legit? If he uploaded the wrong one the correct one should have been uploaded already.
Was wondering the same thing

If you look at his twitter and stuff he posts about how he was going to start building a CM Rom and all, so I don't think it was a hoax.

To be fair, it is being worked on. The only problem is that it seems that three separate people from the CM are working on it separately. One person is working on 10.2 and another 11 and the third is 10.2 as well. I am not sure why they don't just figure it out together.

I haven't really followed CM all too closely on other devices. But to me it sounds like the build they have is very close to at least a nightly, or am I wrong?
If the approach they are taking is to get it close to stable and then release it, I have absolutely no problem waiting. I think basically what I really want is a confirmation that says, "Hey were committed to getting the ROM out there, were not going to just scrap it because we can't get a few kinks to work".
That's my main issue, CM is supposed to be a community (at least, it was originally, before the main people sold out), open effort but many community and CM devs like to keep everything private and not share until they do all the work. Then they rant about people demanding source saying basically if you can't port everything from scratch like they have you have nothing to contribute. That selfish attitude sucks, it's anti-community and ultimately hurts progress. Plus they're all being vague about status and timeframes. I understand having a busy schedule and being uncertain, but that's all the more reason to share what you have, not to make asking for status and timeframes taboo and wait months being fed table scraps of updates. Releasing the source can only help the community, not hurt it. Meanwhile the CM/AOSP devs for the i717 Note were excellent, always providing status updates, links to source, frequent builds, and plenty of support.

If u want latest cm get any other device in the world. MOD EDITED profanity removed, I can flash 4.4 on my HTC sensation but not my note 3.. He released the hlte kernel after someone started trolling the cm community hard for a week a couple weeks ago. And he was upset. But so what... he's a maintainer then maintain bro or step aside. He has a kernel, no tree yet, and like 3 commits... I personally think he should step aside if he doesn't have time,,let someone else from cm develop for this device..

I mean I agree with both parties. I understand why you would want to do it yourself and want to get most of the credit but I also see why the community is wanting to help.
Either way as long as I can get some CM before the end of the year I'll be happy.
The way this is going down, I'll just stick with Tweaked. My Jump upgrade will be available and the Note 4 will be out by the time they get it stable and then the waiting game starts all over. LOL
