Hey I'm Sam some of you know me some of you don't but I'm looking for a developer /themer willing to teach me some things about theming/building ROMs I've been around the forums a little over a year. I flash ROMs quite frequently so I know what I like/dislike about ROMs etc. I can usually troubleshoot any bugs/problems that occur I help people when I can A short version of my story goes...I'm 30 years old have one child a boy Tyler 6 and I was badly addicted to drugs up until about 2 years ago I spent a month on life support and decided my son needs his father and I gave up using. I'd be lying if I said it was easy but I keep my mind busy with work my son and Android.I love the fact that its open source and xda is a great community where people share their knowledge and help each other out. Android/xda have been a very Huge role in my recovery I have 2 years clean!! I got my first android phone 2yrs ago and since then I've been flashing ROMs and following threads. What I'm looking for is basically someone who wld be willing to sort of take me under their wing and teach me how to theme/build my own ROMs I would really like to be able to give back to the community that had more or less saved my life. Someone that will spend time on gtalk etc. Sort of showing me how to do these things I am very eager to learn all I can I work nights so I'm free early mornings between 7-10 am and all weekend if you would be willing to help me just pm me please I've read tons of stuff but I'm the kinda person who learns better one on one I'm always changing my home screen and enjoy theming it with other peoples work but I feel I have some great ideas that I would like to be able to contribute myself.. Thanks for listening if u did read this..

I read the reviews. People say its good for beginner's, but most said if you ever flashed a ROM before, then you don't really need that book. Most said its for people who don't even know what ROMs or root is..
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It covers theming and dissection of ROMs as well as Linux commands it is a lot more advanced than just rooting. I read it cover to cover any moneky can root a phone they don't need to write a book on it.
If you grab the title of it go to Google and append eBook or PDF to the end you might be able to find the book or a sample chapter so you can read it online see if you like it before you buy

Well if youre interested in theming first , let me know.. Cuz I have a TW rom that needs some help ;D

Best Devs and Themers bar none can be found right here.
As someone who has trouble holding onto a device for very long (as referenced by me many times already) I've since found a serious love for (addiction to?) custom ROMs and themes. And here at XDA there are so many to choose from that every time I flash a new one I feel like I have a whole new phone in my hand. Usually by now I'm beating back a major craving to buy a new device but for once, since my smartphone buying days started, I'm content with my phone and okay to wait and see what's next. (just hate hearing about it for months in advance lol)
I hope you know the tireless work you guys (gender non-specific) put into these ROMs/Themes does not go unappreciated. If I'd paid more attention to XDA in my OG EVO days I might've avoided the mistake that was EVO 3D and enjoyed my OG EVO until my upgrade (the E4GT) became available.
Major kudos to all of you and thank you, thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Well said, my wife seen some of these roms and the themes that go with them then looked at her stock e4gt and finally told me to root and install blazer 4.1 ROM with ics sherbet theme. Now she has a new respect for xda and all the hard work these devs and themers put in for us all.

I feel ya. My girl just installed go launcher after three months and couldn't believe all the different things she could do. I know its bad of me to not mention it to her sooner but just like noobs in the forums, I knew I would be doing double time to help her. This way she moves into it at her own pace per se. I know I'm in for it when ICS is released. Even though it will have the same touchwiz feel, I can see that the reversed "ok" or "cancel" is gonna be enough to open a can. If you know what I mean. Lol.

Hey I'm about to start a Sense 4.1 port and I was looking for some help. I know the sense 4 all people tried but i refuse to believe that it's impossible to port to the GS3. I've sent some PM's out to some respected developers but nobody has responded. I understand the basics but need more knowledge. So if you feel like contributing then by all means please do so. If you aren't a Sense fan but still understand how, your help is welcomed too. Just no negative people saying stuff like "why would you want Sense on this phone.You should have bought the Evo." Just trying to give back to the community. Thanks on advance

I find it a nice port would love one of these ports I don't know android development but I do know basic programming
+1 to a sense port , I would love a sense port.
Demand
I know there is a demand for it and our phones are more than capable of handling it. Ive seen it ported to lesser devices so Im amped to get this started. I just need someone with a little more knowledge about porting to chime in. I think my main issue that i dont understand is getting the kernel set up to work on our devices. Spread the word lets see if we can get this development going
There was a tread started before and closed because people was not helping and acting childish, the people that was working on it said the hell with it. They had a decent port it had problems but hell it worked. Good luck but people always flood these threads with stupid questions like why don't you just get a htc phone or use a different launcher .

Maybe you should get in touch with the guys that have already started that port project. Not sure what kind of trouble they ran into but their work might provide a nice heads start for you. Just be sure and give them some credit. I personally would love to see a Sense port not because I necessarily like sense but this is XDA and this is what we do! Good luck with this!
+1 on the Sense port, sense has a better integration with android than TW does. Though TW is good in its own way...
get in touch with the team developing the initial port, their major problem was that they didnt have a sprint GS3 to test directly.
That's a great idea you guys. I'll shoot them a PM so we can get this ball rolling.

I'm not sure I'll be able to help. I know java / android programming, but have never messed with ROMs and such.
However I'd love this and if there is anything sort of simple that you would rather have someone else do, send it my way.
Also would probably donate for a working ROM! I love sense!
I know nothing about developing, but will test and give feedback.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Idk if these are the same guys you guys are referring to but they have a port for the international version and have a poll to port to the sprint version. I'm sure they'd appreciate the help.
