Database Develop

So, where do you guys learn all this stuff?

So, I'm pretty curious. I've not been on this forum that long but what all you guys do is simply amazing. How/where did you guys learn all this ROM making, porting, linux development and things?
I'm off to Uni next year and I'd like to study programming. So could you give me a little insight to how you guys got started?
Thanks

That's good to hear. So how did you get started. Reading documents/books etc? Help from other people?

I would also like some insight on this topic.

Also good luck in programming. I have it now. Intro to pseudocode and in a few weeks we're starting java. It's boring as hell, but the exams are easy. So far I'm a straight A in that class. lol

Well a good place to start looking is the Chef Central
There are plenty of guides there, and that is where I started.

I don't know about friend, but made myself an enemy here for sure (Samsung developers)
Anyways, I'd say xrider is a curious dude and Alanrocks made a nice "black magic woman" song

I dunno.... I feel I get along a lot better with some then I do with others. Some people just appear more open to questions and friendly and they are the ones I tent to feel more of a connection with.

everyone except that guy asking for the Miami Heat bootup animation.

oka1 is someone I would consider a "friend" on here... much, much more so than the "kids" on here who just ask a ton of questions (for no apparent reason) and those who troll.
I "like" all the people on here who GENUINELY seem to be here for the RIGHT reasons.

Not really. This community is just too big to get to know each other. If it was smaller then yeah maybe we would be buddies. With the exception of us metalheads. We will always be brothers, buddies no matter where we are \m/ another thing to add, most prople here are kids(immature). If not kids the're noobs who can't read.

If it wasn't for the "kids" on this forum, then this forum would be straight-out boring.
You guys are boring, the oldies, yes i'm talking about you.
It's like as soon as you became age 25+ you stopped learning to just "chill" and have fun. I'm sure you have fun in real life with people your same age or your kids or something, but without us here, this would be one hell of a lonely forum.
Some people need to accept that teens have smartphones, "OH I WONDER, WHY WOULD A 16 YEAR OLD BOY NEED A SMARTPHONE?!"
We like their functionalities. If you didn't notice from when YOU were a teen, teens are extremely curious. Don't act as if you were never a teen. You acted the same as us, and don't deny it.
SOME may be "over-dramatic"? or more immature, that i understand but immaturity is a part of being a teen, accept it or just gtfo.

Addiction

Damn you XDA. I find myself here several times a day, looking for goodies and news about my favourite phone (LG Revolution) the best freakin phone ever. I have you on my phone now, with a paid app. I just can't get away from you. I may have to take up drinking to pull myself away.
I like this site, because everyone seems knowledgeable. Everyone is nice, when you have an issue, they walk you through it, rather than talk down to you.
Thanks to you all who run this sweet operation. I click "Thanks" every chance I get. Thank you moders, without you our products would just flat out suck. I like the fact, because of groups like ours here, phone makers are more open to letting us open up their devices, and take out what we hate, and put in what we love.
Keep it up.

Here here!
This place is an amazing tool, social community and has become THE NAME in mobile device dev.

I feel you. I just registered this morning and will probably buy the paid app too.

also... i am an xda-addict too..
this site is great... it's all the necesary to life

For all you fresh faced XDA junkies....
Have a look at this thread and see what the future has in store for you...

The best app on my phone is XDA lol whether I'm at work or on the tube or wherever I'll check out the forums on a regular basis, some great people on here especially all the helpful devs.

i remember when i didnt have ord.... my girlfriends phone was stock, my phone was stock, i didnt do hardware modifications, ah the memories.

I concur entirely with every post in the thread. There are constantly two or three different XDA tabs open on my browser, so I can switch between and find even more awesome things to do with my phone.
I look forward to being full on ORD soon!

I know a lot of us on XDA are addicted to females.

how to create a forum just like this?

hi guys, I really love XDA, im on it all the time, But i wanted to make my own forum just like this, except its focused on just 1 phone, Is there any possible way to create a forum the same as this and excellent as this one?
If so, Can you give me a step-by-step walkthrough? Cheers (P.S, like i said, exactly (nearly) like this, so i can recruit mods,etc, mysql, php etc, anything, as long as its like this forum/website)
cheers,
wilbso

This should get you started: http://bit.ly/xYjjc5

well there are lots of free websites that allows you to create forums which you can manage as you like or create one on your own with phpbb, vb etc with your domain. If its a forum, you can assign mods, database or just anything else.

Well then you have to find oue, and make it do what you want. Most forums are based on phpBB or vBulletin. I think XDA is vBulletin.

Simple. I've made a forum before.
Buy vBulletin or another forum software. Get yourself some hosting, according to the specs. Install the forum on the server using the manual. Then just start tweaking the settings and get it noticed.

OMG thanks dude, i have just created my forum, check here for my new forum about the xperia x8 and more
the main forum, which is focused on the xperia x8, is called xperiance,

Hello !
Well... Good ! But I guess you can do much better with a Forumotion's free forum !
It's the best free forum hoster, which offers a lot of possibilities. You need to try !

May be worth considering whether or not the forum you go with is supported by Tapatalk. There's a list of forums they support on their site...
http://www.tapatalk.com/

I beleive the recipe is 2 parts vBulletin, 2 parts contributing users and 8 parts trolls....
Mix well and leave to simmer for 9 years....
Good luck.

Of course it did. Forums needs users and by only focusing on ONE device, the forum becomes a ghost town when a new version gets released. Its not a sustainable model at all.

I.m first to "thanks" and below is my comment:
I'm not into the "Dark Android UI" movement... I'm more of a #DarkUiMustDie kinda guy...
Custom App Request:
I'd like an app to make VoLTE work on any device.
How long will that take?
BTW, check ur caps lock

I'm the second one to hit thanks, people doing stuffs for us noobs are always welcome.
I must find time to install it ?
Now thinking about my bonus, my thoughts goes to an application which can help me quit smoking, I've tried few but didn't work ?
Let me know if you make one

Hello.and thank you for your contributions to xda! I have thanked all posts so now I will make a custom app request. Can you make me an app that helps me stop making poor life choices? Like, when I choose to drink too much, the app could say hey, don't drink so much. Or when I choose to buy fancy, smart electronics, instead of feeding my family, the app would say hey, you don't need an iPad, you don't even like Apple. Feed your family instead. Can you make this? Oh and if it had VoLTE, that'd be pretty sweet too. TIA!

I'm the fourth, that would like to thank for this wonderful app! I have a feature request, though. I'm kind of a lazy guy, so I would love to have an app that gives me a mean look every time I look at my phone when I don't have to. It could electrocute me too! Modern phones have fancy sensors etc. Why not making use of them? Also, VoLTE support would be the sweetest thing ever!
