Well you should study hard, stay in school, and go to college
As long as your major's school is classified something like Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, then chances are you'll be developing

aha sounds good
you can always pm me if you need step-by-step
i get a lot of pm's for those

You just need to think of something that needs doing and do it
you don't even need to know java or anything to be a 'developer'.
I'd class myself as a 'developer' (albeit, not a great one) and all i do is edit some .csv files every now and again with notepad
If you want to go deep into the real developing, such as ROM cooking etc., then it's gonna take a lot of hard work!
Java's not too bad once you get your head round it, give it a fortnight and you'll be able to do all the basic stuff.
Good luck

yes and develop me some automated escort/callgirl app so i don't have to waste my minutes calling the whores!

My name is hotrod101 and I am an addict. I can't stop reading this wonderful forum. There is just too much to learn. I am on pretty much every day, sometimes several times a day.
Well you know what? I don't need help. I don't need to quit. I can quit anytime, I just don't want to. It's not harming me or anyone else. In fact, this site is making me smarter and better able to customize and make my phone better, so it is a good addiction right?

Have somebody actually hard modded thier phones here?

Hi,
Is it anybody here that tried to hardmod thier phone? With this is mean changing the hardware or adding hardware?
I will start to experiment with my HTC ELF as soon as I buy a new phone, just when im bored... would be fun to know if somebody done something similar to thier phone?
no
i cant figured out how to make it cause i dont have the diagram...
hardware changes??? how can we make it.... once i have a Blue angel and try to change the audio port... guess what.. i brick it.... some pads missing and many more burns...
But We have painted them... is fun see my pimped works on Blueangel and on wizard at my signature... PIMP MY WIZARD or PIMP MY BlueAngel
I added a Purple Led into my Hermes, to tell me when i have a text. If that counts... then i guess i "Hard Modded" My phone.
I have seen a fellow from India hard solder a RUIM slot and get it working on a CDMA titan and someone else soldered a full size SD slot on to their touch pro to take advantage of a 32gb sdhc card.
Sure people who are crazy hardmod their phones
I mean wouldn't be fun if everybody who hardmodded thier phone write exactly what they did so us "crazy" people that have a phone without use of it could try to mod it?
Maybe increasing RAM, adding LED lights whatever that makes the phone funnier!

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=39292
plus alot of brainwork, soldering and time!!
So this is what I think we can achieve, if people that done ANYTHING, and with that I've mean any hardmod, post it and let thoose who dare to try it! Would be alot fun and challenging!

Nice bro, just be carefull so you dont mess it up! I takes alot of time and testing.... I had three PSP devices, one old fat that I made the mod on and two slim ones in white and black.. So I didn't really care if the fat one broke.. I wish you good luck!
Sorry for going off topic, just got excited
When i get a new phone, I have plans to install a couple infared led's on my fuze for night veiwing. Ive wanted to hardwire the dongle it came with in it for a permanent 3.5mm jack. That shouldn't be hard to do.

Is putting a MDA V into a diamond 2 housing "hard-modding"??
I did that, but consider that myself as a minor mod.
The people in the HTC Universal forums did a really impressive and cool hard-mod:
Adding RAM to their devices which made their 256 MB RAM into 512 MB..
Now that is a cool mod!

dont expect some one to hold your hand read learn java and Linux and really just play with the os. try to set up singeing by that's a good place to start also but linux on your pc and learn some stuff about terminal. once you do that and have a understanding of what all that development entails you can contact some devs on twitter or pm once you get stuck.
i just want to add i am by no means a master just trying help you out.

judging by your previous posts.... you should learn to use android as a user itself before you start modding everything.... not to be a downer, but "masters" want their apprentices to have SOME knowledge of phone. You will learn a lot more if you explore android yourself over the next few weeks. once you think you have experience, contact some of the devs here and see if they are willing to help. ive found that most of them are really irritated by noobs asking questions that have simple answers.
they seem to forget they were noobs too
(im guilty of this myself)
as for finding a dev here....the only dev ive seen around here in the last few weeks is jubeh (at least i think hes the only one lol)
most of the other devs stay in the dev section

root before jailbreak?

hey i got a g1 and um im going to try to follow a rot video which lets me know to put in a flashrec.apk and a recovery image...so back up then apply imgage??? but one question....do i need to jailbreak my phone before i do the root process????
oh yeh coming from a cupcake build....
Dude go to androidandme.com under hacks and reconsider rooting till you know more.
no such thing as jailbreaking an android device. Thats for Apple only thing, Android doesnt limit you from doing what the device was made to do, only need to root to gain extra functionality.
I agree though, you sounds ill-informed of the risks and consequences of rooting your phone. Do some research, consider how you would feel w/ your G1 being as useful as a 'brick', and make an informed decision.....
please sorry for asking but can you guys help
okay this is what ive done...i use the flash rec apk and then backup and applied the ra recovery img. now i can go to the recovery mode...can i apply any rom not knowing the spl?...also one last question.... if i need to unroot do i do this by appliying the dreamin.img by pressing the end and camera then apply and this should unroot it right????
Have you tried searching or reading the stickies that other members took the time to make so that beginners would find them easier? I bet if you went through these stickies in the first place this thread wouldn't exist.
um for your information no smart ass....this is a q&a right...so thats what im doing right?so if u cant help out by properly answering my question then leave...
Wow... good luck, and good luck getting help.
Final thought, tell tmo that your phone messed up when it downloaded some OTA update.

open settings > applications > uncheck allow non-market apps > press yes

you should goto the tmobile store though and let them finish the rooting for you, they are professionals and will do a really good job, some of them are nice and won't charge you the $13.79 fee either.

Sure, thanx for being serious.
I have to apply for graduate admissions in US for Fall 2013. And i got my recommendation letters form my recommenders. However, they didn't give it on the college letter head. But now my college is closed because of vacations up till 26th December after which my exams start. I took this concern to my recommenders and they agreed to help me. BUT to access the letter-head they need to ask it from the clerk. The clerk (who is illiterate) thinks I am doing all this procedure so that i can quit my admission and ask my fees's back from the college. My professor tried to explain it to him but the guy happens to be the trustee's nephew. I call the trustee and i learn he doesn't know what recommendation letters are. He wont meet me so that i could explain, he rarely answers my calls since he knows my number now . I tried everything to convince him that this is the standard procedure and everyone applying has to do this and it is not only me.
His reply is that 'y do you want admission when you are still in 7th semester?'. He doesn't understand that international applicants have to apply early ! BEFORE THE UNIVERSITY DEADLINES
So, i have a soft copy of the letter head...reproduction needed
(this is wrong...i know, but i don't wanna waste one year just so that the trustee doesn't understand the process and thinks i will rob him)
That's what it is....would anyone help ?...Please ?

Wait, let me get this straight. So all you need is to take the letter head from one copy, and place it onto your own?
Yes. I don't know Photoshop or anything or I wouldn't have bothered you all.
Am I an idiot for not using YouTube yet ?
