Hey All
Quick question does the various vendors get a AOSP image for their phones or do they just build android from the ground up with all their crap present ?
so, you put a 'q' in the title, but didn't bother putting it in the questions section?

Hey guys, another noob question. im currently on stock rom ulvh2 , im want to get a custom rom, but i can find for differet stocks like uvlg and stuff like that, the problem is that i cant find anywhere to download this stock rom e,g uvlg to flash on it the room, my question is does the custom rom comes with the stock rom already? it surely takes alot of space ~500mb (the wicked one).
Also what is the meaning of "ADT" and the word "Hybrid" i speaking about the wicked rom.
Final questions is what is the difference between the Tmobile original development thread and the tmobile development thread.

Custom ROMs like the ones you are talking about are stock with modifications, so yes, it is the "full" package.
Also what is the meaning of "ADT" and the word "Hybrid" i speaking about the wicked rom.

I'm new to Android (came from BlackBerry), but hybrid means exactly what you would think. It's a cross between multiple packages. Some good things taken from each one.
Android Development Tools (ADT) is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE that is designed to give you a powerful, integrated environment in which to build Android applications.
ADT extends the capabilities of Eclipse to let you quickly set up new Android projects, create an application UI, add packages based on the Android Framework API, debug your applications using the Android SDK tools, and even export signed (or unsigned) .apk files in order to distribute your application.

Development: not original works. Modified stock roms, modems, etc.
Original Development: original works. CyanogenMod, MIUI, the AOKP builds, etc.
Can anyone tell me please what's the difference between Galaxy Note II Original Android Development and Galaxy Note II Android Development?
I'm quite new to this phone and I love it! Thinking about rooting is, no flashing yet
Android Development is mainly for ROMs, and tools relating to rooting etc.
Android Original Development is mainly for custom kernels and other custom mods.

Now, to sort out and make sense of the roms and their current state. Makes my head swim!

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

I have two questions
is there rom out there for the blind? or where is a good place to start look on how to build a rom?
Hello.
I'm a bit confused. What is the purpose have two different sections on this forum, if both of them get CM/AOSP and such roms?
Shouldn't roms based on Samsung roms be posted in the "Original" section and CM/AOSP/AOKP so on in the "non-original" (or vice versa)?
Right now having these two sections seems to be redundant...

Original is more for kernels and such. Though I agree with you that in practice it isn't always working as planned I can see the thought process behind it

Edit:....Kenny got it...and has the qualified answer...
Thank you Kenny......g
The sticky in Original Development explains it.
As anyone can compile from CM supplied source how can that be original? What Original work was done? Original Development is to present the hard work of developers and teams to make 1000's of lines of original code to produce something not previously available for that device. A cherry picked CM ROM is NOT original and is building off of another teams or developer's Original work, therefore NOT Original.
It has NOTHING to do with TW versus AOSP. The very first TW custom ROM for a new device would qualify for original with all the smali edits.

Avatar, Root Box and Xone and PACMAN should be moved to Android Development not Original. All are CM or AOKP based.

Good Day to you all!
As the thread title states, provided that I'm going to use the same Android version (4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4,...)is it possible that kernels can be installed across different ROMs?
I ask this because I'm planning to use the latest LX CM11 kernel on other 4.4.4 ROMs available in the development forums, the problem though is its modules and its overall compatibility with other ROMs.
Sorry I had to post this here because I still have 4 more posts to make before I'll be allowed to make posts on specific threads other than the Q&A section.
Thanks in advance!
