The "original development" thread is for non-touchwiz based ROMs, non-stock kernels,etc...

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
You will also find some non touchwiz stuff in original development section too so it gets confusing. Original development is for original work not ports, rips, or themed roms.
Doesnt really have to be non touchwiz, just something original and not a stock rom with generic theme on it.

I noticed there are two separate forums for Android development for the Note II.
Why is that? What does 'Original Android' mean in this context?
I have frequented other device forums but have not come across these two separate forums for any device (that I have used).
From what I've seen that refers to original rooms and mods built for/from the note 2 as opposed to ports from other devices

I believe the android development section is meant for stuff based on the Samsung software, where original android development is meant for the stuff that isn't based on the Samsung software, like cyanogenmod.

The thing is,what ever you create from scratch goes into original android Dev section while whatever you develop my modifying existing source/code goes into android development
For example:cyanogen mod being build from scratch and a kernel build from scratch goes into original android dev section while custom roms depending on Sammy stock roms cm sources or kernels depending already existing custom kernel sources goes into android development

Thanks for the replies guys!
I guess its a new thing XDA is implementing since other devices (that I have owned) do not have this distinction; all the ROMS are released under one forum.

Actually, this is a practice that has been going on for a year or so, it started with the Samsung S2, and spread to other popular devices.

What is the difference between the two forums? I just bought a sprint sgs3, from the 3d and im kinda confused on this..
Think of it as AD being TouchWiz ROMs and such whereas OAD is more AOSP based.

Original development is for things that have been built from scratch.
So any port overs or ROMs based on other ROMs don't belong in Original development section.

Now I actually understand this better. It confused me too.

What's the difference between these two? I see the subsections in only some device forums, but I really can't tell why there's two.
Original development is for source based work like aosp CM & AOKP. Kernels are also source based. TW based, Ports & borrowed work go in the regular Dev section.
Original development is for other projects as well, not just AOSP based stuff. Kernels, Toolkits and more.

Kinda seems odd that a couple of the roms in the original section are "ports"

Because while they're ports its still source based. At least that's what I think the logic is behind it. Just source for the international note.

What is the different between these 2 threads? :
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Development
The items in the original development section are based on aosp.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not really just because they're AOSP.

So, as one who come from Xperia where I can find better roms and news, in the original development (aosp) or in development thread?

It all depends on what you're looking for. Both sections have great ROM.
☞Sent from here☜
Check out BOTH areas because you will sell yourself short if you don't. Also some i9505 roms work with tmobile m919 so check out that too. I'm currently running a i9505 rom as my daily on my m919. Its called bobcat.i really like it. Check it out if you like themed roms. But do try these places mentioned and don't stick with just one area. So many great roms. Have fun
Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between HTC One Android Development and HTC One Original Android Development. This has bugged me since I got my One...
Original development, just as in the name, is usually for original projects. Not really ports or already made roms just ported to the device. Usually you'll find the aosp and cyanogenmod roms specifically in the ogd forum while modded stock roms are usually in the standard development forums.

That is kind of what I was thinking based on thread contents. AOSP in one, sense in the other... Thanks for the info!
