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.

that's why I wrote "kernels are source based"

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.

ADT is a development team, they have made Roms such as beast mod and now paradox.
Every ROM is based off of Samsung stock base except for CM7, MIUI.

A true samsung ROM is a stock rom, unchanged except whatever Samsung did to it before leaving the Factory ...
AOSP, is STOCK Barebones Android ..
As far as the other naming, best explanation is that there is NO explanation, the devs that make the custom ROMs name them what ever they want.. Sometimes it is named after the Team that made it, the person that made it, or the general idea behind the ROM ...
If a Rom is built off aosp could it potentially be ported to any phone? I'm specifically talking about the firefly Rom for the Samsung captivate. It's all aosp and no touchwiz. I can provide a link if anyone would consider actually porting it.

Yup, that's it. I see now its actually a touchwiz based Rom.
I knew it was froyo, I just figured if it was portable, maybe a nice dev could add the theming to a newer base? Lol not sure that makes sense. I just know that I've flash atleast (the very least) 3 roms a month. Back when I had my captivate, I stuck to the firefly Rom for months. The look had color and style, but didn't dream "I'm 13" lol. Guess its really the theming I like.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
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.

The "original development" thread is for non-touchwiz based ROMs, non-stock kernels,etc...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
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.

We love it and are grateful regardless of where it got posted.
I feel if a rom is just getting compiled from source from sync'd repos.. its not original development.
if you are creating patches and adding your own code... its original development.
As a user who is constantly switching between AOSP and stock-based roms on whatever phone I happen to be using, it would be super convenient if more XDA forums just got rid of the distinction entirely and put all roms for a given device together in the same location. I can see why devs might prefer the current setup though.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I have always thought that if you create a 'type' of ROM from the ground up, that is original development. Just the act of syncing and compiling doesn't make it original, even if it is to the recipients. I sync, compile and add and subtract things to my builds, but they were still originally created by another. Just my penny and a half.....:angel:
Compiling ROM now coming soon
